[opensuse-gnome] Tomboy by default?
by Magnus Boman 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

Hello, In the days of fast boot and all that, I was wondering if many people see the value of having tomboy added to the panel by default. I, for one, always remove it from every new install I do. Do a lot of people use it frequently enough to justify that it is added by default?

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 2.30 LiveCD?
by Vincent Untz 09 Mar '10

Hey, Do we have anybody working on a GNOME 2.30 LiveCD? (it'd be based on openSUSE 11.2, I guess) It's really something where openSUSE can lead, so it'd be a shame to not do it :-) 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] Random directory name when auto-mounting removable drive
by Alam Aby Bashit 06 Mar '10

06 Mar '10

Hello. I'm using openSUSE 11.2 with GNOME 2.28.2. I have unlabeled ext3 partition in my external, and it given random directory name such as 0eed9764-9e3f-42d8-8a92-2d19615b90df/ when auto-mounted by Nautilus. But when browsed using Nautilus with button-based location bar, it show directory name such as 65 GB Filesystem/. I would like more simple name, like when attaching it in KDE it will be labeled as disk/. I don't use any other distro beside openSUSE so I don't know whether this thing is GNOME specific or openSUSE specific. So is there possible to have more simple name other than 0eed9764-9e3f-42d8-8a92-2d19615b90df/ for unlabeled partition? Thank you very much. -- Best Regards, Alam Aby Bashit openSUSE Ambassador | http://en.opensuse.org/User:Init7 Blog | http://abybashit.co.cc/ Twitter | http://twitter.com/abybashit -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

Apologies if anyone gets this twice, i think it was rejected the first time: Hey, Personally, I use tomboy a lot. I'd use it even more if only I had a working synchronisation method for my laptop and work desktop. Now for something slightly more technical ;) The simplest way to decrease startup time is to AOT the mono assemblies and also the tomboy assemblies. This will also reduce memory usage if you have multiple mono applications running at the same time (banshee + tomboy anyone?) as the AOT'ed data can be shared exactly as if it were a standard native library. If someone is interested in getting some hard figures about required startup time they could benchmark: 1) Cold start tomboy (nothing is AOTed) 2) Cold start tomboy (AOT-ing all tomboy assemblies first) 3) Cold start tomboy (AOT-ing all .NET libraries as well as tomboy libraries first) 4-6) Warm start of the above. This is likely to be pretty time-consuming as the only way I know to reliably 'cold start' an application is to reboot ;) It would also require you to put in an "Application.Quit ()" inside tomboy so that as soon as everything loads, it exits, thus allowing you to easily measure the startup time.

I use it all the time. Couldn't function without at it. Jared -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] pidgin-facebookchat
by Dominique Leuenberger 01 Mar '10

01 Mar '10

Dear All, I just saw that there was a new release of pidgin-facebookchat, a plugin for purple based IMs. The question remains though if we believe it's useful to continue providing this plugin, as facebook changed their rules and is now reachable using regular XMPP [0]. Explanation on how to configure various IMs is available as well [1] Comments are highly welcome...
