Hi,
Dominique has submitted his branch with tons of changes to G:F, and we
will start accepting the changes shortly. I highly recommend that people
using G:F do not upgrade in the next few days unless they really know
what they're doing :-)
It should all still work fine, but since we don't know yet...
Cheers,
Vincent

Hi!
I hope this is taken in the right spirit, but I wanted to list a few of
my pet peeves with the GNOME desktop in openSUSE. I want to do this so
that I can help get these fixed [by tracking in upstream bugs, openSUSE
bugs or trying to see if I can fix them so on], hopefully by the next
release. I think it would be a good thing to list the minor problems
GNOME users face generally or in openSUSE alone, and I will list them
somewhere in the Wiki [probably just in my user page first], so that we
can start looking into these issues very early for the next version of
openSUSE.
Let us just keep this list to minor usability issues, so that something
like "YaST-GTK vs YaST-QT [Redux]" is probably not very contextual.
My pet peeves:-
1. openSUSE: Notification/tooltip theme in openSUSE
-- openSUSE 11.3 comes out in a couple of days, but it still uses the
same notification/tooltip theme used in the earlier versions. Fedora 13
and Ubuntu 10.04 on the other hand have moved to a much more elegant
tooltip/notification theme [see
http://static.arstechnica.com/assets/2010/03/ubuntu_darktheme-thumb-640xaut… ]
which does add some beauty to the desktop.
2. Upstream: Icon scrambling in the desktop
-- Too often something like this happens: insert USB disk, safely remove
USB disk, create a document "X" in the desktop (around the same location
where the USB disk icon was), and re-insert USB disk. The USB-disk icon
and the X icon appear on top of each other, making it impossible to
click on one without dragging the icon of the other to some other place
in the desktop.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613111
3. openSUSE: The menu thing (bug 595912), but that looks fixed in
Factory
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2010-06/msg00013.html
4. openSUSE: CD drive getting locked in by the GNOME desktop
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=418944
-- Happens only in GNOME, and not on KDE. Also does not happen in
Fedora/Ubuntu.
Please let me know your pet peeves about the GNOME desktop in this
thread.
Bye

Hi!
I thought this problem was solved already. From the GNOME 2.30 Release
Notes:-
"In addition to a number of bug fixes, GNOME Panel has fixed a long
outstanding bug in that when you change your screen resolution, applets
will no longer randomly change position."
Yet, I continue to see this problem [see
http://imagebin.us/images/f1b5zvfpwba55abg7b9.png ]
Is this an openSUSE issue? Should I file a bug?

Hi,
I'm playing with the GNOME:STABLE repositories, and we'd need a few
people to test things if possible:
+ if you're running openSUSE 11.1 and if you use GNOME:STABLE:2.26 or
want to use it, please tell us: we can do a few more updates in
G:S:2.26 but we'd like to double-check our changes are fine with some
testing.
+ if you're running openSUSE 11.1 or 11.2 and if you use
GNOME:STABLE:2.28 or want to use it, same thing: there are updates we
can do, and some testing would be welcome.
+ if you're running openSUSE 11.2 or 11.3 and if you're interested
in the latest GNOME 2.30 packages, you can help by testing
GNOME:STABLE:2.30. It's currently not published, but I want to make
sure first that there are people who can test it if I publish it, so
we can fix issues quickly.
So here's a summary of GNOME/openSUSE versions where you can help:
GNOME 2.26 GNOME 2.28 GNOME 2.30
openSUSE 11.1 X X
openSUSE 11.2 X X
openSUSE 11.3 X
We're only asking you to install packages and report any big new issue
quickly. That's really all we need, and we're blocking on testers before
we push any changes in those repos so you are the ones who can make
things move :-)
Cheers,
Vincent

Hi List,
Attempted to install and start gnome-shell on a 11.3 virtual-machine
failed and now reverting to gdm seems impossible since I get a blank
(white) screen whenever I try to login into Gnome.
Cheers,
Marco

I've upgraded to G:S:2.30 (zypper ar/zypper dup)
The dup worked flawlessly, wasn't told about any busted dependencies or
anything.
Once it had finished, I rebooted, to ensure a clean system.
One bug I had open for 11.3 is now fixed.
One niggle is that the GDM greeter doesn't show my user image any more
and when I logged in, I got the message telling me that the GDM Greeter
couldn't support save current session and would have to be restarted
next time.

Hi,
I just created G:S:2.30: it's something we should actually have done
earlier, but we were busy. It's currently empty, but I'm attaching a
list of packages from G:F, with three categories:
+ the first one is what I think we should copy (assuming there's a diff
between the package in G:F and the one in 11.2, or there's a new
upstream version)
+ then there's a "not sure" category: we need to look if it's really
useful to copy it to G:S:2.30
+ and finally a category for packages that probably shouldn't be
copied.
I'm hoping that people can review this list and start pushing stuff to
G:S:2.30.

Dear openSUSE GNOME interested users / contributors.
openSUSE 11.3 has landed and in a unstoppable effort, development on the next release has certainly already started.
Yet, we should try to step back for a few minutes, trying to analyze what we did right in this cycle, what went wrong, what do we want to repeat and
what certainly has to be avoided.
I think, from my point of view, we managed pretty well during the entire cycle to stay up-to-date with upstream development and packages were almost
up-to-date the same day GNOME Upstream had a release.
We had some very valuable bug reports coming in, but on those I'm afraid a big bunch started only coming in during RC phase, which was very difficult
for to get all of them addressed in time.
Organizational, I would have to say though that we, the gnome team, were lousy in keeping up to any outlined schedule for meetings. Shame on us on
this one! I'm sure having those regularly could make it easier for not-yet-contributors to jump in, having a decent starting point. Also, I feel we're
lacking a up-to-date ToDo list, which we could also hand out to willing contributors to catch up with us (there are several application / packaging
requests in openFATE of course... but not everybody wants to do packaging).
So, let's rumble, let's get all the feelings, good and bad out, let's learn from our mistakes and let's keep the good behaviour we developed for the
next release.
Dominique
