[opensuse-gnome] GNOME laptop power-management is practically missing
by Marco Calistri 16 Nov '14

16 Nov '14

Hello, Despite recent openSUSE 13.1 kernel update, GNOME power management in my Lenovo G470 is still pretty broken. Somebody suggested this could be due the BIOS or firmware installed in my laptop, but power-management is perfectly working whenever I boot into WIN7. GNOME Power-Management still lacks to: a) Notify the user when battery level is critical b) Suspend on RAM automatically at reached battery threshold c) Hibernate automatically at reached battery threshold Currently GNOME Power-Management simply shut-down the laptop when battery reaches critical threshold that's a very annoying and irritating behaviour.

[opensuse-gnome] How to avoid GNOME shutting down due to battery (allegedly) running low?
by Gerald Pfeifer 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

For my notebook, in addition to the main battery I've got a secondary that I uses when traveling. In generally things work fine, except when openSUSE 13.1/GNOME decide to shoot me in my foot. :-) When the secondary battery drains, and the system switches to back to the primary while I work, everything is fine. When I then suspend-to-RAM and wake up again, I get a pop up indicating that my battery (singular) is running low and the system will be shut down. /proc/acpi/battery/BAT*/* and the battery indicator in the status panel (upper right corner of the screen) both indicate that I have hours to go. Still, within seconds a shutdown of the system is initiated without me having any change to stop. Soo, two questions: - How can we get this fixed properly such that whatever is deciding my battery is running low actually uses the same source of information as the status indicator (which gets it right)? - As a stop gap measure, but generally: How can I avoid such a forced shutdown? Frankly, I'd rather let the system run out of battery than anything being force on my.

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME Repo layout change & GNOME 3.13.x
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a. Dimstar 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Hi GNOMEs! I know you have been patiently waiting for a sign of life from the GNOME Team.. sorry for the quietness, but we did not get lost; we are still here with you and for you. As the geeko following GNOME releases knows, GNOME 3.13.4 (the branch potentially leading to GNOME 3.14) has been released last Wednesday. As usual, the packages have been ready by that time in the Build Service, but you want to know HOW to get there, don't you? In line with the 're-targeting' of Factory, there are a few changes in repositories that you should be aware of: - openSUSE Factory => The 'Base' distribution repository we develop for - GNOME:Factory => latest STABLE GNOME Version, receiving regular updates of the stable branch, to keep GNOME in Factory 'up-to-date'; This is a small change, as it means you no longer get 'unstable' branches of GNOME in here. But it gets you (hopefully!) stable experience, which you can expect 'quickly' to land in openSUSE:Factory - GNOME:Next => This is where all the fun happens now: the NEXT release of GNOME is prepared here If it breaks, we're happy; if it works, we're even happier. In short: no 'guarantee' at any moment that this works; but I run it on my system. With this new layout, we believe to be able to better deliver upon the promise of a 'stable Factory'. Of course, this means lower speed of IN Factory, but users can rely on it. The GNOME Team runs as a bare minimum GNOME:Factory on top of that; in quiet times (between two major GNOME releases), this will be only very few differences, but we 'test' bug-fixes in here. And the crazy part of the GNOME Team is asked to run GNOME:Next (but is also asked to FIX stuff they break :) ) for you as User? Pick you poison! Carefully balance between new/stable and be prepared for an occasional break, the 'newer' you get. Users of GNOME:Next are most welcome, but encouraged to also hang around on IRC (#opensuse-gnome @ freenode) to have a short communication line to the team; and who knows? If you like it enough, you might be our new most active team member in no time! Special not when adding the repositories: GNOME:Next depends on GNOME:Factory depends on openSUSE:Factory; make sure to add THE FULL chain of repositories. Put the priorities right, so zypper dup knows what to do. All nice and good, you DO want to test GNOME 3.13.x, but for nothing on the world do you want to run Factory on your disk or mess with all those repositories? We are regularly building a live image, based on the GNOME:Next stack! there is NO QA (neither automatic nor manual) happening on it; at best, some of us might try to boot it every now and then. For the curious ones, it is available at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Medias/images/iso/?P=GNOME… Questions? Comments? As usual, simply approach us!

Hello, As you probably know, GNOME 3.12 is out. What is the plan for openSUSE? I guess extra repository that will add GNOME 3.12. Any instructions? Any ideas when we'll have it?

[opensuse-gnome] Managing CA Certificates for GNOME/Evolution
by Adam Tauno Williams 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

Evolution 3.12.3 I am attempting to import a CA into Evolution can I get "Enter the password for 'NSS User Private Key and Certificate Services", token "NSS Certificate DB". If I have ever entered that password before i do not recall it [or when]. Is there a way to find this an delete/reset it? I also cannot delete a certificate in that dialog. I was surprised that I cannot seem to manage certificates, at least CAs, within Seahorse. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Nenad Latinović 03 Jul '14

Hey Gnome team. I don't know if any of you have read the discussion on the Xfce mailing list regarding Adwaita branding for openSUSE. I'd politely request if you can take a peek here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-artwork/2014-07/msg00001.html - and tell us what you think. (I posted a link so i don't create an unreadable quoting block). Hope you think we could pull it off.

[opensuse-gnome] Disable Printer Notifications?
by Adam Tauno Williams 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

How can one disable print notifications in GNOME Shell? There is no such option in "Notifications" settings. I tried "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.print-notifications active false" but it has no effect -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org
