[opensuse-factory] Suggestions for minor improvements in GNOME for 12.1
by Atri 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hi! I have just been playing around with GNOME in 12.1 Beta and found 3.2 excellent. I have a few openSUSE specific suggestions that I think we could think about and discuss (with relevant bug information wherever applicable):- 1. Please enable showing the date by default in the gnome-shell clock This is bug 722218. I don't know if this goes radically against the design principles of the upstream devs, but I think it makes me uncomfortable to see that users would have to turn to a terminal command to change the present default, which is to only show the weekday and not the date. this could be done by means of a gnome-shell-branding package, for example. 2. There are a number of applications (X Kill, X Refresh, etc) which do not have icons, and which were not there in openSUSE 11.4's application list. Is showing these in the overview intentional (these were also absent from 11.4 + GNOME 3.0)? Bug 722217. 3. There is this package [1] that enables searching from the applications overview for packages in software.opensuse.org. It would be useful probably, to have this installed by default as it adds some (distro-specific) value and makes searching for not installed packages easier. It would also help if this, rather than the present default (Wikipedia) be made the default search engine in the overview. This is bug 722219. 4. I think it would also be great to have the application gnome-documents installed by default and listed as one of the favourite items on the dash. It is not on the Beta. 5. The alt-status-menu extension: this probably goes strongly against the upstream wishes to have by default, but I have found it generally useful because, not to speak of its other advantages, it finally gives me one way to manually hibernate my system. There is simply no other way to trigger this from the GNOME 3.2 desktop. So could we consider also having this by default or would that be really bad? 6. We have not yet found a way to integrate YaST control center into the desktop. We discussed three ways that this could be done earlier [2], and we should probably settle on the easiest of them to implement. 7. Time dependent wallpaper. We had this by default on 11.4, it would be great to have something simlar based on the 12.1 branding. This can of course be done a bit later into the cycle. I hope it is not too late to discuss these and work on them. I would love to help with several of these, and most of them are only minor tweaks, but I am stuck with little to no internet till the 18th of this month at least and I am worried that then it would really be too late. Thanks and bye -- Atri [1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=gnome-shell-extension-openS… [2] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-gnome/2011-05/msg00009.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Qt SDK for 12.1??
by Sid Boyce 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Is it too late for QtMobility to be included in 12.1. It's the current stack and has been included in Ubuntu 11.04 and has been around for quite a while. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

[opensuse-factory] 234 packages with reportedly newer upstream version
by Stephan Kulow 12 Oct '11

12 Oct '11

Hi, Thanks to Marcus and Vincent, the build service knows about new upstream versions and you can easily query them by going here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/status?project=openSUSE%3AFactory&limit_… Note that some of these versions are false positives for various reasons, but most of them will be real. I'll dig into the perl updates now :) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed current status with KDE
by Greg KH 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

As a number of people are already asking me, yes, I know about the KDE problems in Tumbleweed right now. There have been massive build issues with KDE in Tumbleweed for the past few weeks, and finally everything just failed to build, so if you update, you will get downgraded to the 11.4 version. Because of this, I've now removed all KDE packages from Tumbleweed, and will work on the 4.7 update. When that finishes building then you will get upgraded to it, but it will not happen until next week sometime at the earliest. So, sorry for the churn, I need to figure out the root cause of all of this as it really shouldn't be happening (I'm pretty sure I know why, just want to verify it.) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] I lost underscores
by Kyrill Detinov 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

Hello. This is a very strange and funny issue. I lost underscores typing text. The first screenshot is my XChat window with nicks Lazy_Kent and Russian_Vodka. In the left side and in the dialog window no underscores. And in the right column and in the window header we see Russian_Vodka with underscores. http://itmages.ru/image/view/301337/fb8e4289 The second screenshot [not mine] displays Konversation window with correct underscores in nicknames. http://itmages.ru/image/view/301342/286fe9cf And finally I have a lot of fun typing text in Leafpad.

[opensuse-factory] "No human readable MCE decoding support on this CPU"
by Ilya Chernykh 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

Hi! Afterupdating to 11.4 I noticed regular beeps from the speaker especially after computer is switched on. Now I found the cause: the kernel reports "No human readable MCE decoding support on this CPU". How can I combat it? I have Intel Core2 Duo. I woder if this will affect the next openSUSE release as well. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Checking "enable networking" does not seem to do anything. After clicking on "Manage Connections..." I see an empty list of Wired connections and the "Add.." button is greyed out with no possibility to do anything. I do not seem to have NetworkManager running. What is the process name exactly?

[opensuse-factory] requires(pre) build fail on factory only
by Brian K. White 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

I have a package with Requires(Pre): %install_info_prereq It fails on Factory with: error: line 22: Bad Requireflags: qualifiers: Requires(Pre): info But builds on 10.0 to 11.4 Google gets me similar but not quite current things like: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2011-January/148182.html Known? Do I change my spec or do I just wait for Factory's rpm or obs to change some more and it should resume building on it's own?

Hello, Just now, making a zypper dup (on factory, of course), I notice that the display is curious. As soon as the download begin, the terminal display is erased one line at a time, like if there where some backspace at the end of each report line, until reaching the top of the display where every line stay I don't know how to explian better.
