[opensuse-gnome] Bug 436758 & 386359 - Renaming YaST in the menu and Control Center tasks
by Kevin "Yeaux" Dupuy 19 Oct '09

19 Oct '09

Both bugs 436758[1] and 386359[2] have been open for a year or more, both relating to YaST & the Control Center. The first recommends YaST, in the right hand side of the Computer menu, should be renamed to something more descriptive, like "Administrator Settings". This was originally opened against 11.1 but was pushed back. [1] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=436758 The second recommends re-adding Common Tasks to the Control Center, as we had during 10.2. It was quick shortcuts to tasks (like Add a Printer, Manage Accounts, Change Default Applications) that can be quickly done in either the Control Center or YaST. This was originally opened against 11.0(!). [2] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=386359 Is there enough time to get these two usability issues settled before 11.2?

[opensuse-gnome] mouse pointer stays busy for 30 seconds after logging in
by Jim Faulkner 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

I'm seeing a minor issue on OpenSUSE 11.1 in which the mouse pointer stays in its "spinning circle" mode for 30 seconds or more after logging into Gnome. I've tried checking running processes but there does not appear to be any processes that are causing this. The process table is identical both shortly after logging in while the mouse pointer is spinning, and a minute after login at which point the pointer has gone back to normal. I realize this is a minor cosmetic issue, however it is kind of annoying because it seems to be telling the user "don't do anything yet, the computer is busy." And the user will just sit staring at the spinning wheel impatiently, even though Gnome has completely finished loading and is ready for use. Anyone know what might be causing this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] VOTE: Firefox Beagle Plugin - Urgent
by Magnus Boman 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hi all, When we do a default GNOME install, we will also get a Firefox plugin for beagle to index the online history. I like to know if people want this to be automatically installed or not. So, can you please reply to the list (ctrl+l in evolution) and let us know if this firefox plugin should be installed by default or not. [ ] Install by default [ ] Do not install by default Cheers, Magnus Ps. If beagle is not installed or enabled, this should not really affect performance in a noticeable way. Ds. Ps2. This is not a rant against beagle. Please read the email again if thats what you think it is. Ds2. Ps3. Can we all agree to have one week exactly for this vote so that we can decide to keep or remove it from the patterns.

[opensuse-gnome] For people with GNOME:Factory branches
by Vincent Untz 28 Aug '09

28 Aug '09

Hey, I've changed the GNOME:Factory (and GNOME:Backports:Factory) configuration to build against openSUSE:Factory/snapshot instead of oS:F/standard. This should help us not be blocked when oS:F is being rebuilt. See the discussion on opensuse-packaging for more information. If you have a G:F branch, please check your branch configuration and update it too: osc meta -e home:vuntz:branches:GNOME:Factory and change the line: <path repository="standard" project="openSUSE:Factory"/> to this: <path repository="snapshot" project="openSUSE:Factory"/> Thanks, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
