[opensuse-factory] Tumblweed and GNOME 3.4.1
I now have GNOME 3.4.1 running in Tumbleweed, but wow, it's tough to get installed due to some odd dependancies. Because of that, I don't feel comfortable moving it to the "main" openSUSE:Tumbleweed repo at this point in time (it's in openSUSE:Tumbleweed:Testing if anyone wants to play with it.) But, I'm sure that people do want to use it, so, any thoughts on what to do? Just wait for 12.2 for users to be able to pick this up? Or beat on the dependancy tree some more to try to make it easier to upgrade? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

12.2 looks like it's going to slip for non-GNOME reasons. I don't run Tumbleweed; I have to hand-tune all the dependencies on my systems anyway for things like Node.js, Sigil, Calibre and R-base, so it doesn't really matter to me how I get GNOME updates. ;-)

Don't give up hope yet :)

Have you tried the GNOME:3.4 repo today? Does that work for you? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Not yet - I did try the 12.2 beta with both GNOME and KDE. KDE is a mess; known upstream KDE bugs send you to the KDE bug tracker to report them. GNOME looked pretty solid in 12.2 beta but 12.2's GRUB2 is also a mess and I ended up deleting 12.2 and dropping back to 12.1. I need a solid GRUB2 more than anything else because I'm multi-booting Windows 7, openSUSE and Fedora. So Fedora is my boot manager for the time being. -- Twitter: http://twitter.com/znmeb Computational Journalism Server http://j.mp/compjournoserver Data is the new coal - abundant, dirty and difficult to mine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

If, as you suggest, it's an issue with the GNOME dependencies, it'd be great if the GNOME folks could fix it - I depend on Tumbleweed to give me the greatest GNOME Shell too :D

I'm redoing the repo at the moment, moving it back to openSUSE:Tumbleweed:GNOME, and will work with the GNOME developers to get the kinks worked out before pushing it to the "real" tumbleweed repo. As it is, even after getting it installed, there were some "bumps" in the daily workings, so things need to be smoothed out before I feel confident to let it loose on the world. So, some patience please :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

One annoying thing of running GNOME 3.4 with Xorg from 12.1 (which I assume is what is in Tumbleweed) is that desktop-wide keybindings don't work. We couldn't find a good fix except asking people to update to a more recent Xorg :/ So maybe you'll want to consider taking the Xorg from XOrg:X11 in Tumbleweed too. IIRC, this was tested on 12.1 by some people, so it "should" work ;-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
