[Bug 329630] New: GNOME menu structure
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=329630 Summary: GNOME menu structure Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: infernux(a)web.de QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer First off, I was amazed by the polishment that went into openSUSE 10.3 so far. But yet, I have a thing that keeps me from using openSUSE as my main distribution: I don't like using the new start menu "slab", while I can see that it is of use for some people, it is not that great for me (I use a wide range of software, more that would fit into "favorites" and the applications window feels "slow" for my needs). Anyway, there is the old menu applet, which I would love to use. However, the menu displayed here is not the default GNOME layout, but a custom layout with a lot of submenus. The same layout is also used when I add custom application launchers to the panel. The problem with the submenus is that I rearely see more than one entry in one submenu. So, for example, in the Graphics menu, I have a submenu "Image Editing" which only holds Gimp. In all, I would have 6 launchers in Graphics, now I have 5 submenus, with each holding one (one holding two) launchers. To make things worse, the submenus use KDE icons, mostly, thus feeling really out of place. It would be great if the default GNOME layout (no submenus) would be used. This would also be more consistant with the SLAB menu, as it would show the same categories as the application window. Perhaps keep the submenus around, but the default should be off. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 407286] New: Traditional menu and menu bar applet icon

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=407286 Summary: Traditional menu and menu bar applet icon Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: michael.monreal(a)gmail.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- Using the default openSUSE theme, the (non-SLAB) main menu shows the tango feet. IMHO the opensuse logo should be displayed here as it would be a nice opportunity to add some branding and the tango logo doesn't really mean much to a lot of end users. IIRC this icon is even supposed to be replaced by distributions. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 409100] New: Necessary apps buried too deeply under kmenu
by bugzilla_noreply＠novell.com 22 Jan '09

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=409100 Summary: Necessary apps buried too deeply under kmenu Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Usability AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: coomac(a)gmail.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- This isn't a bug so much as a newbie-friendly issue. I seriously salute the opensuse team on making compiz so easy to enable on 11.0. The desktop effects app is a joy to use, but newcomers have no clue that opensuse even contains this tool. Likewise, the new zypper has quickly become a celebrity, but only amongst those in the know. Opensuse 11.0 contains a lot of stuff that make life easy, but there's no point to including those tools if only hardcore users can find them. I'm sure anyone that hangs out in the irc channel or the forums will have come across these questions at least a few times: 1. How do I install <randomsoftware>? 1a. I just downloaded <randomname>.tar.gz. WTF am I supposed to do to install? 2. How do I get cool 3D effects? 3. How do I set up my printer (or something else that can be done quickly with yast)? 4. How do I play my windows games?!! 5. How do I get my music to play?!!!! All the above are easy as cake for those already familiar with opensuse. Not so easy when this is the first time someone has seen a linux desktop. A tiny bit of icon addition is all that's required to fix 1-4. Placing another Install Software icon on the desktop will greatly decrease 1 and 1a. 2-4 can also be resolved by the same method. However, since newcomers will be clueless as to what yast stands for, plopping an icon that just says Yast on the desktop won't help them any more than having a Yast menu entry. A screentip or an entry that says Configure System should be more than enough though. Same thing with wine. I was more than a little disappointed the first time I tried playing a song after a spanking new 11.0 livecd install. In 10.3, a menu popped up with a short summary of why the necessary codecs were not available and offered to install them. A few clicks was all that was required to get my songs playing. In 11.0, a dialog appears ONCE with a link to the most obscure site ever created, containing no decipherable info on what needed to be done. A PhD in linux should not be required to get proprietary apps installed. Why that site, rather than any of the dozens of How To pages out there boggles my mind. A link to slashdot would have been so much more useful than the linked site. While a codec install wizard would be awesome, linking to a user friendly site should be enough to get > 90% of new users up and running. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[Bug 214311] New: Package "sapinit" sets shared memory too low

[Bug 402823] New: Accessibility Bridge Seems Unstable.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=402823 Summary: Accessibility Bridge Seems Unstable. Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome(a)forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jpryor(a)novell.com QAContact: qa(a)suse.de Found By: --- The accessibility bridge seems unstable. To reproduce: 1. Enable Accessibility: Computer -> Control Center -> Assistive Technologies -> Enable assistive technologies check box. 2. Logout & Login if necessary. 3. Use Gnome for 1-4 days (not sure how long). 4. Open gnome-terminal, and start any GTK+-using program (gedit, gvim, etc.), and the following text will be printed to the screen: atk-bridge-WARNING **: failure: no device event controller found. My suspicion (with no backup evidence) is that the device event controller crashes after a period of time, and all subsequent app start (and use, in the case of gvim), spews to the console. This makes any frequent use of the terminal + GTK+ apps painful. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
