[opensuse-gnome] Fwd: Install DownThemAll Firefox plugin by default
by Sankar P 07 Sep '09

07 Sep '09

Hi People, The results were ~equally distributed. ~40% yes-es and ~60% no-s. There does not seem to be any strong opinions on, either "Yes we need it definitely" or "No way. Dont do it". So the solution I may suggest is, If/When we do a: "firefox-popular-plugins" bundle later, we will consider packaging DTA also then (as recommended by AJ). Until then, let things remain as they are. Thank you.

[opensuse-gnome] Thinking about 2.29...
by Vincent Untz 06 Sep '09

06 Sep '09

Hola, I was thinking about GNOME 2.29... When we restarted our effort to backport GNOME to old versions of openSUSE, we said we'd do our best to backport to as many old versions as possible. Looking at 2.28, we already have some issues with DeviceKit and PolicyKit 1.0 on 11.1... I can only imagine things getting more difficult during 2.29 on 11.1. So my question is simple: do you think it's worth the effort of working on GNOME 2.29 on 11.1? Or should we focus on 2.29 on factory and 11.2? (we can certainly backport some selected packages, like gnome-shell, but the whole GNOME would be really hard, I think) Thanks, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] mouse pointer stays busy for 30 seconds after logging in
by Jim Faulkner 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

I'm seeing a minor issue on OpenSUSE 11.1 in which the mouse pointer stays in its "spinning circle" mode for 30 seconds or more after logging into Gnome. I've tried checking running processes but there does not appear to be any processes that are causing this. The process table is identical both shortly after logging in while the mouse pointer is spinning, and a minute after login at which point the pointer has gone back to normal. I realize this is a minor cosmetic issue, however it is kind of annoying because it seems to be telling the user "don't do anything yet, the computer is busy." And the user will just sit staring at the spinning wheel impatiently, even though Gnome has completely finished loading and is ready for use. Anyone know what might be causing this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] empathy: Protocol support
by Andreas Jaeger 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hearing that you discussed to use empathy as default IM client and not pidgin, I tried to use empathy and it offered me to import my accounts from pidgin (great idea but it did not really important everything) - but nothing worked afterwards. empathy did not connect for me to AIM, Groupwise, ICQ or Googletalk. I just did a simple "zypper in empathy". Does empathy support my accounts at all? If I manually go to "Add..", it only offers Jabber, Salut and Google Talk... What do I miss?

[opensuse-gnome] VOTE: Firefox Beagle Plugin - Urgent
by Magnus Boman 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hi all, When we do a default GNOME install, we will also get a Firefox plugin for beagle to index the online history. I like to know if people want this to be automatically installed or not. So, can you please reply to the list (ctrl+l in evolution) and let us know if this firefox plugin should be installed by default or not. [ ] Install by default [ ] Do not install by default Cheers, Magnus Ps. If beagle is not installed or enabled, this should not really affect performance in a noticeable way. Ds. Ps2. This is not a rant against beagle. Please read the email again if thats what you think it is. Ds2. Ps3. Can we all agree to have one week exactly for this vote so that we can decide to keep or remove it from the patterns.
