[opensuse-gnome] Help needed: migrate the GNOME wiki pages
by Vincent Untz 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

Hi all, As you might know, the wiki team has been working on a new wiki: wiki.opensuse.org. It'd be great to have someone taking care of migrating the useful information from http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME and migrate it to the wiki, probably starting at http://wiki.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_team (since it's linked from http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:Teams) There's some documentation at http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:Wiki to do this. I'm willing to help tell you which wiki page is worth migrating and which one is not. Any volunteer?

[opensuse-gnome] Tracker search by tag
by Atri Bhattacharya 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hi! The tracker search tool shows results categorised into Applications. documents, etc. but does not search by tags. It is easily possible for someone to tag a file [tracker-tag plugin for nautilus], and then want to search for files having similar tags. Presently this can be done via command-line tracker-tag ts <tag_name>, but cannot be done via any gui. There is no way to sort of easily enable this or something ni tracker right, or does even tracker-search-tool provide for search by tags?

[opensuse-gnome] 11.3 GNOME First look
by Sankar P 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hi, Though I have been running some factory packages for a while, I just managed to do a full GNOME install of 11.3 on a bare metal and below are some feedback. - Login time is amazing. It seemed almost instantaneous since the moment I clicked on Login in GDM and the panel appeared with background loaded - Logout OTOH seem to take a lot more time than what it took with 11.2 In fact everytime when I select logout from gnome-do's menu, it takes atleast 10 seconds till I get my GDM screen (4G RAM machine) - I tried installing "Google Chrome". I downloaded the rpm and clicked on it to be installed by "Install/Remove software". There were some missing dependencies (libjpeg, lsb) and "Install software" did not complain about the missing packages. It just went on infinitely moving the progress bar. So I had to cancel that and resume the installation from terminal (which is how I came to know of the missing packages) - Sonar icon theme is not installed by default (installed my system from the live-cd) (Isnt sonar the default theme ?) - There is a lot of screen flickering during booting. Atleast 3 times, the screen goes colourless (not blank) with only busy mouse pointer shown. This flickering instead of showing the splash screen and gdm screen, is a usability problem. Last but not the least, booting is fast. -- Sankar P http://psankar.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Empathy and GTalk
by Sankar P 24 Jun '10

24 Jun '10

Hi, I have heard numerous mentions that Empathy can be used as a GTalk-substitute in Linux. However, with 11.3 I dont get anything except "Jabber" while trying to configure an account. I have installed all the telepathy and empathy modules that are listed by YaST. Has someone got this working ? -- Sankar P http://psankar.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Testers needed: gdm and gnome-packagekit
by Vincent Untz 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Hi, We'd need a few testers to make sure that two changes are working fine before we push it to 11.3: update applet does not see available updates https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609409 => Scott has packages in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/sreeves1:/branches:/GNOME:/… We need people who installed RC1 to install the libpackagekit-glib2 package from there, and then see if they can install the updates. gdm greeter doesn't work without local users (e.g. NIS) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615044 => I added a patch for gdm, and the built package is available at https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries?package=gdm&project=home%3Avunt… I'd appreciate if people could test it -- even if you're not affected by the bug because you have local users :-) It should be safe, but since it's a really visible part of openSUSE, I want to double-check it's all good.

[opensuse-gnome] Major bugs to focus on for last few days of 11.3 development
by Vincent Untz 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi all, Generally speaking, we seem to be doing good, with no big major issue in GNOME for 11.3. However, we should make sure to focus during the last few days we have. Here's a list of bugs that should be of priority: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=609409 update applet does not see available updates This bug is a blocker. We have to fix it. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591072 Application-browser keeps "New applications" forever instead of expiring them as appropriate Not a blocker, but highly visible. Shouldn't be too hard to fix. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=380665 Packagekit: Change "Software updates" to "Software update configuration" Not a blocker, but again quite visible. One issue, though, is that it might require a string change, which is bad at this stage. If you want to help with one of those, please tell it here. We can assist you, if needed. Is there any other important issue that you think should be fixed?

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 3.0 install
by Adam Tauno Williams 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

I installed the GNOME 3.0 build for openSUSE 11.2 as described at http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/3.0 This is not a complaint, just a question, does this work reasonably well for anyone here you has tried it? I get a mostly black screen and, as far as I can tell, no application windows. -- Adam Tauno Williams <awilliam(a)whitemice.org> LPIC-1, Novell CLA <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com> OpenGroupware, Cyrus IMAPd, Postfix, OpenLDAP, Samba -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
