If we indeed talk about the same keys, then I agree, this should not (actually MUST not) be duplicated into another package.. having both installed would only result in 'surprises' for the users and maintainers (of either of the desktops). We should just make sure that the glib branding packages does not become to a 'dump-it-all' config package (for example, I moved settings from a specific extension out in a sep. package, as I did not feel it correct to be part of the glib2-branding-openSUSE package...). We should probably discuss the specific keys, the values you intend to set them too and implications this would have on any of the DEs... Do you have specific examples at hand already?

[opensuse-factory] Fwd: Opensuse Mate branding
by denisart benjamin2 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hello everyone ! I'm now a maintainer of the Mate development project and we are working on Factory. But after discussing with the main maintainer of Mate project, we have a little conflict and I need your opinion. For providing a default desktop, Gnome use gsettings schemes in glib2-branding-opensuse. I have purposed to add our keys in glib2-branding.gschema.override.in because I want to purpose the same experience that Gnome2. But he wants to use a gschema.override.in in a mate-desktop specific branding package. What do you think about this ? Regards.

[opensuse-factory] New package: arandr
by Stefan Seyfried 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hi all, I'd like to propose a new package for Factory (and later general openSUSE of course): arandr, "Another XRandR GUI" ARandR is designed to provide a simple visual front end for XRandR. Relative monitor positions are shown graphically and can be changed in a drag-and-drop way. It is written in python with only very little dependencies (mainly the xrandr command line tool and python-gtk) The project's homepage is http://christian.amsuess.com/tools/arandr/ Upstream is active, whenever there is a need to change things due to changed xrandr syntax those changes are done quickly. Patches I made for my package have been incorporated (actually not my patch, but my idea was implemented in an even better way). Actually upstream asked me how to best install it from my home repository, which kicked me to get my butt up and get it included in Factory. I noticed that Pascal already had put it into X11:Utilities in the mean time and that actually looks like a good devel project for it. Right now the instructions for SUSE users on the home page are not as easy as for the other distributions, this is why I want to get it into the distrubution proper, so that "zypper in arandr" will just work for everyone. I'm not going to drop off the edge of our planet's disc soon, and I have to maintain the package for my boss anyway, so including it should be a no-brainer IMHO :-) best regards, seife -- Stefan Seyfried Linux Consultant & Developer Mail: seyfried(a)b1-systems.de GPG Key: 0x731B665B B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi, This laptop under 11.4 runs with both cores at 30ºC. Under 12.3 RC it stays at 36ºC, continuously. Kernel regression? load average: 0.18, 0.15, 0.23 I'm having the same apps: thunderbird and mozilla. In fact, in 11.4 I has more tasks running. In 11.4 I use gnome, here xfce. -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E. R.

[opensuse-factory] 12.3 RC2: Broken display manager when xfce desktop is selected on install.
by Carlos E. R 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, When you choose XFCE as the default desktop type, the displaymanager is set to "lightdm". I have found two problems with this, so far: Bug 807091 - XFCE ignores .i18n file Bug 807097 - On default XFCE install, display manager fails to halt or reboot machine The second one is the worst for most people, I guess: the machine can not be halted nor rebooted. There has been no answer at all on this report so far. I have tried 'xdm' as display manager: this solves the first issue, but then there are no buttons to halt, reboot, or choose session type. This display manager does not have enough features. Bug 805847 says that "lxdm" has the same problem of not being able to halt or reboot. Besides KDM or GDM, are other display managers that I could try? (I'm going to try wdm next) - -- Cheers/Saludos Carlos E. R.

[opensuse-factory] update on sunday
by Peter Czanik 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Hello, Today I updated my openSUSE 12.3 and run into two changes: - I can use XFCE again - windows is not listed in grub2 any more. I remember, that the second problem came up a few weeks ago, but at that time I was not affected, so I deleted the related e-mails. Today I looked for it in bugzilla and in the archives, but I can't find the solution. Could somebody re-post it?

[opensuse-factory] App compat between versions of OpenSuse (specifically related to perl, but including others).
by Linda Walsh 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

I opened a bug on this problem as https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=804070 I was told the reason for this was the fault of Perl and their binary instability. Additionally, I was asked for a patch to fix the problem with Gvim (which I provided though it seems that was ignored) to dynamically load those libs (python, perl & ruby) that can be dynamically loaded -- with the result being that if they are not present, the user will be able to still run Vim and it can still do it's job (Editing), but the specific scripting language that is not loadable won't work. In the perl bug for this (https://rt.perl.org:443/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=117015), It was said: -------------- 1) Due to Perl's current rapid release policy and maintenance patch policies, ABI changes in minor versions are not necessary anymore. New or radically redesigned (internally) features just dont get added anymore like they did in 5.8. If the interp ABI compatibility system is ever reintroduced (not likely), I would suggest a const table of offsets to the members in the interp library, and a "*(SV ***)(char*)my_perl+PL_ginterpoffsets[ABI_STACK_SP]" for "PL_stack_sp". ------------------------------------------- I.e. 5.16.0, 5.16.1 and 5.16.2 should be binary API compat. and 2) They wanted to better know what the problem is that is causing OpenSUSE to force each version to be incompatible (In installing a factory binary on my 12.1 system (that has all preconditions met -- I'm running a new enough glibc, & such), a new perl (5.16.2) was installed over my previous 5.16.1. Over 1000 modules stopped working due to SuSE not following normal practice and including previous version lib paths (at LEAST anything in the 5.16.x series, if not 5.14 included!). A quick solution was cp -alu <5.16.1-lib> <5.16.2-lib>...which seemed to be the quickest solution at the time. If it was a major version, I likely would have done it as well and planned on doing a cpan-recompile of all binary modules in the near future. Anyway, they asked: ------------------ Can someone explain what the *technical* complaint or feature request here is? Are some vendor linux perl scripts in pure perl hard coded to check $^V/$]? Or are the vendor Perls "XS_VERSION_BOOTCHECK;" and "XS_APIVERSION_BOOTCHECK;" modified to not allow forward compatibility to newer minor releases (and when upgrading the perl to a newer minor perl, all existing XS libs won't load)? Or are absolute versioned paths to perl baked into the OS in C or on shebangs (why wouldn't symlinks fix this?)? Or I want an XS lib compiled with 5.12.4 to load into a 5.16.1 process (change the current policy so major versions are compatible)? ------------------ Are version checks in perl or are they at the binary level so things won't load? And what do you need from the perl community to stop doing this -- they claim it isn't necessary for minor versions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
