[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 3 initial USB stick evaluation image
by Frederic Crozat 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hi all, to help GNOME 3 progress, I've worked on a GNOME 3 USB image to allow everybody to easily test GNOME3 without touching their system : http://susegallery.com/a/zksD5W/gnome-3 This is a first image, based on GNOME 2.91.5 and openSUSE 11.3 (so, the main distribution will be stable : this should help discovering bugs in GNOME 3 stack and not mix them with Factory bugs :) This is rough image, quite incomplete (very few applications installed to reduce its size) but it should work out of the box. Please, report any issue you found with it. One of the next steps will be to move this image to OBS, so people will be able to download it without SUSE Studio account and it should also help me to generate image.

[opensuse-gnome] openSUSE Board Election Update - Thank You a Lot [Low Priority]
by Sankar P 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hi, Thank you a lot for your help, comments and votes during the openSUSE board election 2010. In case you did not know, I have lost the 2nd position in the election by one vote and came third. Nevertheless, this election gave me the opportunity to realize some goodness of my after-office-hours work. So, I would like to sincerely THANK YOU all for all your help and support. -- 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] Populating GNOME:Ayatana
by Nelson Marques 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Dear all, I have submitted the following packages from "home:ketheriel:ready" to GNOME:Ayatana. The submitted packages are: * Dependencies (all sorts): - mtdev - SR 59212; - python-elementtree (I haven't SR'ed it, as I'm currently using a link from devel:languages:python), this link will be required; - utouch-evemu - SR 59213; - utouch-frame - SR 59214; - utouch-grail - SR 59215; - utouch-geis - SR 59216; - gtk2 - SR 59217 - This gtk2 package has 2 patches currently required, and 2 more at least are required for Unity. I will provide later on a full update on the changes on this package. - ido - SR 59218 - This package requires one of the patches on gtk2 (012_ubuntu-set-grab-add.patch) - dbusmenu - SR 59219; - libindicator - SR 59220; - libindicate - SR 59222; - dee - SR 59223; -- Dependency for libgwibber and Unity - libgwibber - SR 59224 -- Dependency for indicator-me - libappindicator - SR 59225 - Will enable application indicators on future indicators * Indicators: - indicator-applet - SR 59221; -- Applet to display indicators - indicator-session - SR 59226 - Session Indicator, for full functionality requires one patch on gnome-session (SR 59069 to GNOME:Factory); - indicator-me - SR 59227 - The ME Menu - indicator-messages - SR 59228 - Messaging Indicator - indicator-sound - SR 59229 - Sound Indicator * Applications: - notify-osd - SR 59230 - notify-osd without patching and with notify-osd icons. All this packages are pretty much done with my best knowledge. Except for 'dee' all the remaining dependencies for Unity aren't yet SR'ed. Notify-OSD and the indicators present should be working properly. The present indicators are those present in the default Ubuntu layout from the last release. There are more indicators, they will be SR'ed later on once I sort the missing GTK patches. About Unity, it's really on standby as compiz currently is crashing. Waiting a bit more and checking for development upstream. Vuntz, Dimstar... Let me know on a day when you have time so we can go through all of this submissions. I will make sure I have time for it, the only days I really can't spare time are: Tuesday/Thursday - from 20:00/00:00 - Lisbon Time (should be Berlin -1) Saturday - From 14:00 to 20:00 - Lisbon Time (should be Berlin -1) Once this packages are on the repo, I'm opening a 'open beta' for users and grab feedback.

[opensuse-gnome] gnome-session submission: G:F or O:F ?
by Nelson Marques 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

Hi, I have a tiny patch required for Ayatana indicator-session which enables the Reboot and Shutdown commands on the indicator. This patch is for gnome-session, I've tested it and it builds ok and the functionality is present. I haven't detected any other errors. To which project should I submit this G:F or O:F ?

[opensuse-gnome] 11.2 upgrading Gnome 2.28.2
by Marco Calistri 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Hello, I'm still on openSUSE 11.2 - Gnome 2.28.2 (I believe to sit on it until its E.O.S. then upgrade to 11.4) but I wonder if in the meanwhile I could upgrade to latest Gnome Stable without breaking something. From /repositories/GNOME:/STABLE:/2.32 I noticed that is available only a 11.3 category, may I use it on 11.2 by running zypper up? TKS, -- Marco Calistri <marco.calistri(a)yahoo.com.br>

[opensuse-gnome] Will need some feedback...
by Nelson Marques 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

Dear all, The uTouch stack[1] from Canonical is a requirement for my packaging around the Indicators and Unity. I've taken a peek at [1] and decided to package the rest, as it looks interesting. This raises some questions in which I seek advice: 1. gtk+-2.0 - Canonical's gtk2 package[2] seems heavilly modified. Current patches[3], and for Natty is comes in 2.23.90. Currently I'm forced to use 1 patch [4] to satisfy libindicate (requirement for indicators and unity), and 2 more patches [5] and [6] (gdk-pixbuff) for 'proper' generation of gobject-introspection stuff. What would be the way to proceed here? Any guidance/help would be fine to select the patches we really require. Thanks to Dimstar for helping with patches [5] and [6]. 2. Unity requires compiz. Unfortunatly for us, this comes with 'glib mainloop patch'[7]. I'm finishing building the required packages. At some point soon everything aims this will be a part of compiz. Unity plugin is to be enabled from CCSM. For now I will be doubling the packages. Adam Williamson from Fedora made a couple of blog posts around this [8], [9]. 3. Though I can package the Multitouch software from Canonical, I have no idea on how integrating it... It may be interesting for some. If anyone wants to provide feedback and really test this software, any feedback would be welcome. Feel free to contact me on private or use this list, all works for me. 4. KDE - The indicators at least are prepared to integrate with KDE. If anyone can point documentation on KDE packaging or a couple of standard examples on OBS, will be most welcomed. I've noticed there's already a libindicate-qt laying around. I am already doing some modifications for GTK3, this would probably be also the moment to add the stuff for KDE. I don't really see a reason to cut out KDE users, so this will happen soon. 5. Updates - Canonical updated loads of software. Currently it's broken due to patching required for proper generation of Vala CLI/Gir files. Now here's the deal... I can turn off introspection, but python modular stuff will be utterly broken, and this is bad. I'm currently rechecking the patches applied on Ubuntu on GTK and the tables os symbols to check for missing stuff, hopefully this will sort my issues. 6. Distribution of contents - Vincent asked me the other day if I wanted to push this to Factory. My personal standing on this (as I told Vincent) is that I would prefer to have GNOME:Ayatana as a separate repository so users can do a 'zypper dup' (I will provide the necessary documentation on this covering YaST2 and zypper). The reason why I think this is better is tightly related to the high level of patching required in many things, specially GTK2, I haven't even started to look on GTK3. I would like to know people's opinion on this as well... should I start looking and documenting the stuff that is 'touched' by Canonical and pass on the word so we can support some of their patching on upstream projects? I really don't have much clues on how this 'upstream - downstream' processes usually are. Everything around this is pretty much new to me in all aspects. Any advice? 7. Marketing - I have my own ways to bump this into the audience without requiring intervention from the Marketing Team. I believe I've made already enough fuss around this, and given the present circunstances around GNOME3, I find it a better choice not to engage on agressive marketing promoting this project until GNOME3 is established on the Community, nevertheless, I find it interesting to provide a minimum marketing embracing the concern that it doesn't endanger the deployment and spot light of GNOME3 and gnome-shell. Any advices on this? 8. Broken packages - Currently some (if not a lot) of packages are broken until I fix GTK2. As you all know, I'm not very experienced with this (gtk2 and gobject-introspection), so this might take a couple of days till I checkout all the patches on a 'test/trial/error' basis. Should be fixed as soon as possible. 9. Unity - Unity (without the indicators) shouldn't bring much problems, and by default if the indicators aren't present it will use the default gnome applets. Since Unity relies on 3 libraries to build (bamf, nux and dee, which are already packaged), on compiz (which should be mainstreamed soon), this is most likely something we could included on Factory as an option. Whats your opinion on this? Should we include Unity and ignore the indicators for Factory? (indicators will require a near flawless gobject-introspection solution). Sorry for the wall of text.

[opensuse-gnome] Sonar for GTK+ 3, help needed
by Vincent Untz 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Hi, As you might know, the theming changed in GTK+ 3. We can now use CSS. However, one issue with that is that we don't have a default theme for GTK+ 3, and GTK+ 3 apps will look ugly. It's not critical for 11.4, but we still have the GNOME 3 preview stuff using GTK+ 3. Is there anybody who would be interested in trying to port Sonar to CSS? Adwaita [1] can be a good example of how to do this.

[opensuse-gnome] Packaging Zeitgeist and Gnome-shell
by Federico Mena Quintero 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hi, all, I've been working on packaging the Zeitgeist stack and Gnome-shell. Zeitgeist is a project to log what you've been doing - which documents you have edited, which web sites you have visited, which IM conversations you have had - and to then let you query that information. This of course needs a nice, graphical journal browser. There is now a branch for Gnome-shell which integrates a journal into the shell's overview. While we have a package for zeitgeist, kindly packaged by dimstar, we lack all the rest of the Zeitgeist stack - the data providers, the datahub, etc. I'm packaging all of this in home:federico-mena:zeitgeist So far it's being built for openSUSE 11.3 and Factory. For 11.3 I had to pull in a newer Glib, as libzeitgeist wants gdbus and that doesn't exist in the version of Glib that comes originally with 11.3. Thankfully, just replacing your Glib with the one that is in my repository works fine; nothing seems to break. I'm not an experienced packager, so the packages in that repository are... um... needy of review by someone whose knowledge of RPM and packaging goes beyond "cut&paste from specfiles and curse until the stupid thing builds" :) Gnome-shell is not in that repository yet; I'm still making packages for the Zeitgeist stack. I'll get around to it. But if someone wants to install these and give them a try, I'd love any feedback you can provide :) Federico -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] GDM setup tool
by Nelson Marques 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Dear all, Sometime ago on IRC there was a small talk about the 'need' of a tool to configure GDM and metalgod defended it could be interesting feature. I've packaged a tool that is used by Ubuntu and you can find it here[1]. I've only found a small itch on this application, it only works with image wallpapers, which means that if the default stuff is .xml (ex: IK.xml) it just shatters. Aside from that, the functionality works. If you want to test it, please make sure your GDM default wallpaper is an image. If anyone wants to fix it so we can use it on the distro, please do so, I don't have know-how for such task. Thought it might be interesting to bring this up. My package is on OBS.

[opensuse-gnome] Junior Job: registering URI scheme handlers with glib 2.27
by Vincent Untz 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hi, We're going to ship glib 2.28 in openSUSE 11.4, since 2.28 should be out in December. There's one change that we must prepare for, though: the way URI scheme handlers are registered changed. Before, applications used to register themselves in gconf (see /desktop/gnome/url-handlers). The new glib won't support that anymore and will use the MIME type system. See Bastien's post for some more background: http://www.hadess.net/2010/10/new-control-center-and-you.html What does it mean for us? It means that we have to patch various packages for this, and the good news is that by doing this, we can help upstream. It's really easy to do, and I'm looking for volunteers :-) Below are some instructions. It's a bit long. And it's late here, so maybe they won't be really clear to everyone ;-) But just ask if you want to help and face an issue. Here is the upstream tracker bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=631433&hide_resolved=0 Let's take an example: Yelp. If you go the tracker bug, you'll find a bug for yelp: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631678 We need to register yelp for the x-scheme-handler/ghelp, x-scheme-handler/info and x-scheme-handler/man MIME types. So here are the steps we'll do: a) branch yelp in the build service (osc branch GNOME:Factory yelp) b) look for the source of the desktop file in the tarball. In this case, this is yelp.desktop.in.in. c) add the MIME types to the MimeType key. If there's no such key, create one. For yelp, there's no such key, so we create one: MimeType=x-scheme-handler/ghelp;x-scheme-handler/info;x-scheme-handler/man; d) make sure that the Exec line has %u or %U as argument. This is required to accept the URI that has to be opened. %u is for only one URI, and %U is for multiple URI. In the case of yelp, we probably want %u, and we see that the Exec line doesn't have %u nor %U, so we add %u. e) to make sure you were right to do this, manually simulate the opening of such an URI. Call "yelp ghelp:evince" and see if it works fine. (We replaced %u with ghelp:evince). f) it's also important to make sure that simply calling the Exec line by removing %u or %U works. For example, if yelp needs --open to open a URI, you would use "yelp --open %u". But you have to check that "yelp --open" doesn't fail and just launches yelp. If it doesn't, then it will be a bit more complex and I suggest for now to just report in the bug that yelp needs to be adapted. f) create a patch of these changes, and submit it in bugzilla, as well as in the build service Additionally, we need someone to also patch totem with the two patches that were committed in git for this: http://git.gnome.org/browse/totem/commit/?id=74833ef98e515104a5ef10b0e59af0… http://git.gnome.org/browse/totem/commit/?id=b337849b174efd6b11304ddcdd3cfd… There will be other apps to patch, that are not tracked in the upstream bug. Looking at what I have in gconf, we probably want to patch the desktop file for firefox (to support ftp and http) and transmission (to support magnet). We could also patch xchat (but it needs to be done carefully -- I'll let that as an exercice to the reader).

[opensuse-gnome] Some easy bugs to fix

Hi, Here are three bugs that should be easy to fix. I've marked them as Junior Jobs. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=650400 glib2-branding-openSUSE. It's a simple matter of understanding how we define default apps for a mime type, and the files in glib2-branding-openSUSE explain this well. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=661370 Inkscape. Patches are mentioned in the last comment. Note that inkscape 0.48.1 might contain the patches already, so maybe just wait for the release? https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=662577 NetworkManager-openvpn.

[opensuse-gnome] New/removed GNOME-related packages, issue #3 (11.4 Milestone 2)
by Vincent Untz 05 Jan '11

05 Jan '11

Hi, This is the list of GNOME-related packages that got added since the last issue, ie August 26th. The packages that are in Factory as of this issue will be in Milestone 2! Woohoo!

[opensuse-gnome] Default 11.4 background and theming
by Vincent Untz 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hi, During the IRC meeting last week, there was some long discussion about the default 11.4 theming, especially for the background. Let me try to summarize what was said: - the proposed background is similar to what you can see at http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs/?p=2677 (but with a different shade of green). - as a distribution, having a consistent look and feel is rather important: we do want to have the boot splash and the desktop background form a consistent set. - some people thought that the currently proposed background is too close to KDE: it's based on a background that got included in KDE SC 4.5, and that exists in distribution-branded versions (like the openSUSE one). See the posts starting in August at http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/ - some people mentioned that upstream GNOME will ask distributions to use the upstream GNOME 3 theme, including the background for GNOME 3 (so not for 11.4, but 11.4+1). For reference, this is http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-themes-standard/plain/themes/Adwaita/back… - some people mentioned that it's important to have an openSUSE-branded background for marketing. I think that covers most opinions that were raised. I'm explicitly not telling who said what, because I'll likely misquote people ;-) In the end, we didn't reach a conclusion. I'd like to hear what people think about the whole topic, so we can come with a decision from the whole team.
