[opensuse-gnome] One Click In GNOME
by JP Rosevear 13 Sep '07

13 Sep '07

Thanks to some work by Martin Vidner, 1-click install works nicely in GNOME/Firefox now as of 10.3 beta 3. Go to: http://software.opensuse.org/search and give it a try. Looked pretty good to me (other than the 1000 yast progress dialogs). -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr(a)novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Date representation with respect to the polish locale
by Chenthill 10 Sep '07

10 Sep '07

Hi, The date representation for polish locale in 10.3 seems to cause some issues. The dates are represented in the form of roman letters such as the following in 10.3, Pn, 10 IX 2007, 17:09:05 IST where as the date representation for the same locale with 10.2 is, pon wrz 10 17:20:23 IST 2007 Evolution uses strptime to parse the date strings using locale's date format. The corresponding bug assiociated with this is https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=302371 . Any clues on how to fix this ? Does this require a fix in glibc ? thanks in advance, Chenthill. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Weird GNOME-related RPM problems
by Michel Salim 07 Sep '07

07 Sep '07

I've noticed these related problems on-and-off involving GNOME packages on openSUSE 10.2: - on a stock install, gnome-games when queried would list, among others /var/games/glines.{Large,Medium,Small}.scores -- but the RPM actually installs /var/games/glines.scores - attempts to upgrade to GNOME:STABLE always results in a broken install, one of the telltale sign being the inability to load icons - after downgrading back to openSUSE-10.2+updates+GNOME:Community, to my surprise the icon loading problem still occurs. I tried running 'glines' from the terminal, and get this: (glines:17512): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/etc/opt/gnome/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders': No such file or directory Weird, I thought. Perhaps it's the same RPM bug that used to affect Fedora, where some files are clobbered on RPM upgrades? To be safe, I removed gtk2 (with --no-deps), and then reinstalled it. Twice. Using smart and, for safety measures, using rpm manually. Like gnome-games, here is the result: michel@hitchens:~> rpm -ql gtk2 | grep gdk-pixbuf /etc/opt/gnome/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders /opt/gnome/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders michel@hitchens:~> ls /etc/opt/gnome/gtk-2.0/*.loaders ls: cannot access /etc/opt/gnome/gtk-2.0/*.loaders: No such file or directory michel@hitchens:~> rpm -q gtk2 gtk2-2.10.6-24.2 Any thought? Will probably file this to Bugzilla, but I need to know what to file this against. GNOME in general? The build service? RPM?

[opensuse-gnome] mainline mozilla-nss-tools package
by jacob berkman 06 Sep '07

06 Sep '07

Hello, a couple of the smartcard packages use a system-wide nss database for their smart card configurations (pam_pkcs, krb5's pkinit plugin). currently, no package sets these up on the system for the user, and probably the right package for this is mozilla-nss. unfortunately the tools to do this would be in the mozilla-nss-tools package. would it be a problem to merge these into the main mozilla-nss package, and ad a postinst to create the nssdb? thanks, -- jacob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME:STABLE/GNOME:Community
by James Ogley 06 Sep '07

06 Sep '07

Just wondered how stable (for want of a better word) GNOME:STABLE is? Had been wondering whether it might be an idea to change the target for GNOME:Community for products < openSUSE_Factory to be GNOME:STABLE/<product> if G:S is stable enough? -- James Ogley james(a)usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org GNOME for openSUSE: http://software.opensuse.org/download/GNOME:/ Help end poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/in -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] F-Spot 0.4.0 backport to openSUSE 10.2
by Ivan N. Zlatev 06 Sep '07

06 Sep '07

I have backported Factory of 0.4.0 to 10.2 with the cost of dropping making of documentation and %if -ing a lot of stuff. Also I have set a dependancy on hicolor-theme 0.10 due to the missing icons otherwise. You can find both in my Home Project - http://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=f-spot&project=home%3Ai-nZ. Are you okay if I update f-spot in GNOME:Community, which is a quite old version (0.2.2) ? Regards. -- Ivan N.

[opensuse-gnome] New package: extra-rpm-macros
by James Ogley 06 Sep '07

06 Sep '07

I've added a new package to G:C, extra-rpm-macros. It is for backporting new macros to older products and currently provides the %lang_package macro used in Factory although more can of course be added in future. -- James Ogley james(a)usr-local-bin.org http://usr-local-bin.org GNOME for openSUSE: http://software.opensuse.org/download/GNOME:/ Help end poverty: http://oxfam.org.uk/in -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-gnome] Brasero in Beta 3
by Aaron Bockover 05 Sep '07

05 Sep '07

After some discussion on the #opensuse-gnome channel, I would like to followup and clarify some things regarding this decision. 1) Nautilus is still the default for burning data CDs and copying ISO images. Banshee is still the default for burning audio CDs. Brasero is available as an application that can be used to accomplish these tasks as well, if a user so desires. We will not change the defaults for 10.3, but may evaluate different defaults for the next release. 2) I have tested Brasero on five different sets of hardware, alongside GnomeBaker. On each set of hardware I tested audio CD burning, data CD burning, ISO burning, and CD duplication. Brasero was successful in all 20 operations. GnomeBaker on the other hand failed each time with the same result (regarding the cdrecord compatibility layer for wodim). 3) For any issues that may arise with Brasero, we will be able to actually work with the active maintainer of the application, benefit the upstream project, and can expect faster turnaround time for the issues due to the activity level of the project. With GnomeBaker all issues will have to be resolved and maintained at the distribution level with no upstream support, because there is no longer an upstream for GnomeBaker - it is a dead project. 4) If you have used Brasero on 10.2 and ran into negative results, please try the Brasero that will ship in 10.3 Beta 3 before casting doubt. A lot has gone into Brasero and the underlying wodim stack since 10.2. Please do not hesitate to respond with further concerns or issues! We all want the best for GNOME in 10.3.

[opensuse-gnome] Brasero in Beta 3
by Aaron Bockover 04 Sep '07

04 Sep '07

Hello Everyone, We have replaced GnomeBaker with Brasero [1] for 10.3 Beta 3. Here are a few of the most significant reasons for the sudden switch: 1) Brasero is maintained and actively developed; while it is still young, this is very important. 2) GnomeBaker is deprecated, unmaintained, and hasn't seen a commit in seven months [2] and a release in nearly a year [3]. 3) Brasero, while slightly rough around the edges and could benefit from a little polish (but the same can be argued for GnomeBaker) works with the new wodim and related tools, which means it's actually possible to burn discs in Brasero. 4) Brasero has decent desktop integration, including support for Beagle, Totem playlists, libnotify, and solid GStreamer support. We are urging anyone interested to give Brasero a thorough testing and report bugs on it ASAP for Beta 3 and beyond. Thanks, Aaron [1] http://gnome.org/projects/brasero [2] http://gnomebaker.cvs.sourceforge.net/gnomebaker/gnomebaker/ChangeLog?revis… [3] http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=127397 Novell, Inc.
