[opensuse-gnome] Screensaver does not put the screen to sleep
by Carlos E. R. 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Since I tried 11.2 M6, up to current GM, the gnome screensaver does not set my display to sleep. In Screensaver preferences, I have set "regard the computer as iddle after 12 minutes", and in power management preferences, I have "put display to sleep after 5 minutes". It doesn't work. Where do I look? Is it a known bug? A configuration issue somewhere? - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse-gnome] yast2-gtk software manager UI call
by Ricardo Cruz 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi folks, It seems there is interest in reshaping Yast Gnome's software manager, which admittedly is guilty of design heresies and other sins. I am willing to supply the man-power, you guys make the demands. One way to go about it is to systematically normalize the UI elements, such as converting the status buttons to tabs- I wonder however if people have more fundamental issues about it. Tell me what you like the most about the UI and don't want touched, and what you disliked the most and would like nuked. For instance, would you miss the changes sidebar if we demoted it to an items called "Summary" over the categories box? What about the "Upgrades" button? Feel free to suggest new features such as customizable columns. If you'd like to get more involved, subscribe to: http://groups.google.com/group/yast2-gtk Past mockups are available at: http://en.opensuse.org/YaST2-GTK#Brainstorm:_mockups Cheers, Ricardo ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Applications autostart in GNOME
by Marco Calistri 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hello listmates, I noticed that after dist-upgrade 11.1 to 11.2, my Gnome autostart apps. stopped to works: no more apps autostart after logged in. Yesterday I tried to add a new one app. (software update) to the ones existing from previous 11.1 configuration and it seems to work as expected: it autostarts correctly. Wonder if it is necessary to reload all the apps. I will to autostart from scratch, or is there a reset/reconfiguration procedure I can follow to resolve this issue. Thank for your attention.

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME, Compiz, but no window manager
by Adam Tauno Williams 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

All my 11.2 upgrades have gone swimmingly, except on. On the machine I use the most - of course. :) Everything "works". I can log into GNOME, and 3D effects are enabled, and the display is perfect. Except I have no window manager (windows are not decorated and I can't switch windows). If I run "metacity &" in a gnome-terminal then I can operate but all the windows have a semi-transparent border around them (although geometry seems to be working correctly). I assume this is because the compiz window manager component isn't starting? "gtk-window-decorator" is running, as is "compiz" and "compiz-manager". Any suggestions? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] 11.2 is out, party time!
by Vincent Untz 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Hi team, A big thanks to everybody who contributed to making the GNOME experience enjoyable for users for openSUSE 11.2 :-) We were not perfect, and there are some bugs left, but we still managed to do a good job! Of course, it's time to party! Let's all make sure we have fun in the next few days to celebrate all this. And pictures are of course welcome :-) As a final note, if you find an annoying bug in 11.2, please make sure to report it and also make sure we know about it so can release online updates. It's even better if you can link to an upstream patch, obviously ;-) But I suggest we take a few weeks to focus on important bugs we want to see fixed (while also doing some factory work), so we can offer an even better desktop on 11.2! And since the maintenance work is now open to the community, we can rock there too!

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME Hackfest
by Bryen M Yunashko 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hey guys, I've been invited as a representative of the GNOME-A11y team to participate in the upcoming GNOME Marketing Hackfest on November 10-11 right here in Chicago! I'm still in shock that something actually happens in Chicago (aka Windowsland) Essentially, its a hackfest to examine current material used to market GNOME to the masses and update/create new material. While I am there as a representative of GNOME-A11y, I still thought it would be useful to get all of your thoughts from an openSUSE GNOME perspective on what you think needs to be considered for marketing. Your thoughts (No, Magnus... Not *those* thoughts!) and comments are truly welcomed. Thanks, -- Bryen Yunashko openSUSE Board Member GNOME-A11y Team Member www.bryen.com (Personal Blog) www.planet-a11y.net (Feed aggregator of the Accessibility Community) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
