[opensuse-gnome] Removing a few apps from the default install
by Vincent Untz 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hi, I was looking at the default install of GNOME in Milestone 1, and came up with a list of things that, I think, we should not install by default. Comments welcome! - multisync-gui: the UI is just horrible. I can't belive we ship a tool like this by default. - deskbar-applet: we ship gnome-do by default, so no real need to ship deskbar too. - gftp: most people don't need to use ftp. Then a good part of people who need to use ftp are happy with nautilus. I'd argue that it's not really needed. - ekiga: the people who use SIP will know about it and will install it. The other people (majority) just don't care. Note that it's quite big on the livecd (since libpt and opal are big). (I'm not 100% sure on this one) - xchat: we ship empathy with irc support by default. (I'm not 100% sure on this one) Cheers, 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

[opensuse-gnome] Teatime applet?
by Gerald Pfeifer 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

One of the niceties in KDE I had really grown fond of over the years is a small applet called kteatime. Looking what GNOME offers in this space, I did not find anything in what we ship, alas I found http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php/Teatime . Did I simply miss something (an alternative, perhaps) in our packaging of GNOME for openSUSE? I also did look at the openSUSE Build Service and only found kteatime which makes me think I might have missed something already offered by vanilla GNOME. If not, is there any chance to get Teatime included somehow? I'd be happy to invite anyone packaging this for FACTORY for a tea (or some- thing else). ;-) Gerald -- Dr. Gerald Pfeifer <gp(a)novell.com> Director Product Management, SUSE Linux Enterprise, openSUSE, Appliances -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Suggestions for new packages, issue #3
by Vincent Untz 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Hi, Here's a list of applications that we could package during the next few weeks. If you're interested in working on one of them, please send a mail or edit the wiki page (see below) to state so; this will help avoid duplicated efforts. Note that this list is on http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_new_packages too. + gedit latex plugin => http://www.michaels-website.de/gedit-latex-plugin/ + gnome-subtitles: subtitle editor => http://gnome-subtitles.sourceforge.net/ + gst-editor: graphical pipeline editor for gstreamer => http://code.google.com/p/gst-editor/ + redshift: tool to adjust the color temperature of the screen according to surroundings => http://jonls.dk/redshift/ + rtmpdump: toolkit for RTMP streams, including a library needed for a gstreamer plugin => http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/ + smuxi: IRC client => http://www.smuxi.org/main/ + subtitleeditor: subtitle editor => http://home.gna.org/subtitleeditor/ + weather-wallpaper: create a wallpaper based on the weather => http://mundogeek.net/weather-wallpaper/ I have many more suggestions, but I think it's better to keep the list small so we really do something :-) Cheers, 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

I think my last email didn't hit the list, so I'll try send it again (with some extra info). Sorry for the duplicate if there is one: Hey, sorry, I completely forgot to include the commandline, here it is: valgrind --tool=memcheck -v --leak-check=full --log-file=log --smc-check=all /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox I did a clean install today and had it working with firefox 3.6.6 (or whatever was default in OS 11.3). I then allowed zypper to update everything and I got the error in my last email on both firefox 3.6.6 and 3.6.10 when I attached valgrind. This error happened on startup so I didn't even get as far as a firefox window opening. Alan.

[opensuse-gnome] Some update broke firefox and valgrind
by Alan 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hey, OS 11.3 stock can valgrind firefox without any issues but once I installed all available updates I can no longer run valgrind on firefox, I just get the error at the end of this email. Does anyone know what package update caused this issue? I really don't want to have to reinstall *again* to fix this. I can't work without valgrind ;) Thanks, Alan ==24551== Unsupported clone() flags: 0x800600 ==24551== ==24551== The only supported clone() uses are: ==24551== - via a threads library (LinuxThreads or NPTL) ==24551== - via the implementation of fork or vfork ==24551== ==24551== Valgrind detected that your program requires ==24551== the following unimplemented functionality: ==24551== Valgrind does not support general clone(). ==24551== This may be because the functionality is hard to implement, ==24551== or because no reasonable program would behave this way, ==24551== or because nobody has yet needed it.

[opensuse-gnome] Please watch for https issues when using webkitgtk
by Vincent Untz 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

Hi, I've changed the way libsoup works at the request of the security team. This change will hit GNOME:Factory today, and Factory some time this week, I guess. This does not change 11.1, 11.2 nor 11.3. A recent change in upstream libsoup made it use only SSL 3.0 for https, because of bugs on various servers, which were causing issues when libsoup was trying to use TLS. However, the security team wanted to keep TLS if possible, so we patch this behavior. Note that upstream wants to fix this correctly in the long term, but it requires rewriting quite some code (while our patch is just a one-line patch). As a result, libsoup users *might* have issues on some https websites. If this happens, this will be most visible in webkitgtk, and therefore in epiphany. If you hit such an issue, please file a bug and cc me. For the background story about this, go read https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=634040 Thanks, Cheers, 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

[opensuse-gnome] Using SUSE Studio for GNOME Live Images
by Paul Cutler 16 Sep '10

16 Sep '10

Hi openSUSE GNOME team! I have an interesting challenge (and marketing opportunity) for the openSUSE GNOME team. I'm writing the release notes for the upcoming GNOME 2.32 release, and for GNOME 2.30 we did not have live media (either LiveCDs or images for use with KVM, etc). In following up on that prior to release, the maintainer won't have time to try and create images. Is this something we could use SUSE Studio for? I was lurking in the openSUSE GNOME meeting this morning in IRC and in talking to Vincent, I understand we'd first have to get GNOME 2.32 working on 11.3. We have just over 2 weeks until GNOME 2.30 comes out and I think it might be cool to see new GNOME branded live images powered by SUSE Studio. If anyone wants to help out, please let myself or Vincent know. Thanks!

[opensuse-gnome] Gnome PolicyKit/polkit on 11.3
by Karl Eichwalder 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

I'm still working on updating the 11.3 docs. Now I'm wondering about the Gnome PolicyKit implementation. There are at least two packages: polkit-gnome and PolicyKit-gnome. polkit-gnome seems to be a library or something similar. PolicyKit-gnome come with /usr/bin/polkit-gnome-authorization that you can call. Confusingly enough, it is very different from the KDE config offerings that you can see with "systemsettings" > "Advanced" > "System policies". Why are these config option not visible in the Gnome tool? -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME without a panel?
by Gerald Pfeifer 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

So, on my workstation running FACTORY GNOME now (and for a week, possibly a bit to quite longer) comes up without any panel. As you probably can imagine this slightly reduces usability. :-] Some background: - zypper verify is clean, as is zypper dup. - I see nothing in /var/log that would indicate a reason. - A process called gnome-panel is running, and when I kill that a new one is respawned. - When I run gnome-panel --replace from a terminal I get: (gnome-panel:5368): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `PanelApplet' (gnome-panel:5368): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed - Same happened on a newly created test account. Any ideas on what might be going on? Anything to look into?

[opensuse-gnome] Gnome:Apps misses dependency for OpenSUSE 11.3

Hi, I tried to update the package gwibber-2.31.90-32.2 from Gnome:Apps and found a missing dependency for OpenSUSE 11.3 (possibly for more distros): python-markupsafe which can be currently found only in the devel:languages:python repository. Seems like python-markupsafe got to be added to Gnome:Apps, also.

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME repositories for 11.3
by Valerio Mariani 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

Dear All, I would like to have on OpenSUSE 11.3 the latest stable version of Gnome. By this I don't mean the version that came with the distro, I mean the lastest stable. It is not clear to me, however, which repos I should enable. Looking at this page: http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME_repositories I guess that I should enable: GNOME:STABLE:x.yy / G:S:x.yy (where x.yy = GNOME version) and GNOME:Backports:x.yy / G:B:x.yy (where x.yy = GNOME version, or Factory) Maybe also: GNOME:Contrib / G:C and some of the Application directories at: GNOME:Apps However, I am curious about two more repos. The first is: GNOME:Community I understand that this is deprecated in favor of Contrib, but should I add it as of now? I notice that some applications are only in this repo. For example gtk2-engine-equinox. Finally, I found this: GNOME:/Apps/GNOME_STABLE_2.30_openSUSE_11.3 and: GNOME:/Apps/openSUSE_11.3 Should I add them, and in case I should, which one? I notice again that for example, the latest version of Liferea is only here. I have to say that comapred to KDE, where the repos to add are very clear, the Gnome situation seems a bit of a mess. Can someone help me. please? Valerio -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
