[opensuse-gnome] No YaST installed when I installed Gnome 3 from the promo DVD
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 20 Oct '11

20 Oct '11

Hello team, I installed Gnome 3 during an event on a laptop. I used the promo dvd (the blue one). Well after the installation, I didn't find YaST. I did zypper se yast and I found that I had yast2-gtk installed. I couldn't run yast on terminal as well. How do I install YaST in such occasion? I'm familiar on installing repositories on graphical interface. So I couldn't make updated etc. Thanks Stathis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 3.2 Problems on 11.4
by Manu Gupta 18 Oct '11

18 Oct '11

Hi All, I recently updated my gnome 3.0 to gnome3.2 on openSUSE 11.4. As soon as I updated I faced the following problems. 1. I was not able to login, and when I added acpi=off as a parameter, it worked well but only in fall back mode. 2. I was not able to connect to the network. When I went to system settings->network. I get a message saying "The network services is not compatible with your system". -- Regards Manu Gupta -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] BURG rpm
by Valerio Mariani 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Dear All, I would like to try and install BURG on my machine. To that end, I am looking for a source rpm package of BURG. It doesn't mater if it is not the latest version, I just want to take a look at the spec file and use it to build mine. I found no trace of a BURG rpm either in the normal repository or the Build Service. I was wondering if someone can provide me with one. Even if it's not an OpenSUSE ntaive package (say, it comes from Fedora or Mandriva), I would still be happy. Of course once I finish my work I will make the rpm available to anyone on the Build Service. Can someone help me, please?

[opensuse-gnome] How To Debug gnome-shell?
by Andi Sugandi 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Hi, I find a issue in gnome-shell on openSUSE 12.1 Beta 1 (Factory), > rpm -q gnome-shell gnome-shell-3.2.0-1.1.x86_64 > cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 12.1 Beta 1 (x86_64) VERSION = 12.1 CODENAME = Asparagus When I go to 'Activities', then type any words on that, then gnome-shell is crashing, but finally it's coming back to normal desktop (and opened windows does not crash/terminated). Is this known issue? I think I should give a fine backtrace to fill a new bug (BNC) so developer can easier to solve this issue. Then I feel I find a good howto[0] to debug it, but I can not see this produces an output as expected because I fail to see anything happen after running 'Second' step (. ~/bin/xenv.sh) -- of course I can not move then to 'Third' step. [0] https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Debugging So, is this howto are correct to debug gnome-shell or there are other ways? Thanks in advance.

[opensuse-gnome] High priority GNOME bugs for 12.1
by Vincent Untz 14 Oct '11

14 Oct '11

Hi all, First, please do not reply to add another bug to this list, unless you're really 100% sure it belongs there. If everybody just sends his/her favorite bug, we won't have a short list of bugs that we should focus on. I've been looking at our bug reports in the last few days, and here is what I believe we should really get fixed one way or another: NetworkManager: broken privilege handling https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=713639 => clearly a blocker, marked as such. Likely the most annoying bug everyone seens right now. There's a known workaround, and Ludwig has been proposing patches upstream. But it probably needs more love... gnome3: battery indicator gives wrong numbers https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717814 => this would be a blocker imho. It's really unclear why this is happening. Needs debugging; some was done upstream already. http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit/?id=9067689839cbf163a2f7ffbf… might help. [fallback] Installer icon not visible on GNOME LiveCD https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=702671 => embarassing one, as people who won't have gnome-shell will have a hard time installing openSUSE (installer is in the menu, but it's not discoverable). Should get fixed by adding an icon to the top panel when running in the live session. Bluetooth completely broken (at least in GNOME) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=722722 => we need at least some patch to avoid crashes, and then we need to figure out if things work or not. But things are not looking good on my system :/ cheese and totem crash without 3d acceleration https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=716357 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=717136 => they both use clutter now. They should at least not crash, though, and possibly display a small error dialog. Authentication for color device required before login https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=706908 => this is related to https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698250 (security review of colord). There's a question from the security team there, and moving there would help. gnomesu: GIO_LAUNCHED_DESKTOP_FILE support https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=710459 => this is what makes yast icons ugly in the overview mode, at least I believe so. It should be "just" a matter of forwarding this environment variable via gnomesu (and xdg-su) to the yast process. Add YaSt icon in gnome-control-center shell (not filed) => we would need this to make yast more discoverable We need people to help fix those bugs. They won't just get magically solved. FWIW, I know I'll try to look (again) at those ones soon (but do not consider I'll fix them, you can help for those too): - [fallback] Installer icon not visible on GNOME LiveCD - gnome3: battery indicator gives wrong numbers - Bluetooth completely broken (at least in GNOME) - gnomesu: GIO_LAUNCHED_DESKTOP_FILE support - Add YaSt icon in gnome-control-center shell Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Warning: GNOME broken in Factory
by Vincent Untz 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

Hi, Since I just got 3 people reporting the issue on IRC, let me warn everyone here: GNOME is broken in Factory right now. It's because of the telepathy-glib version we have in Factory has a bad bug. A new telepathy-glib is on its way to Factory (already in G:F, although G:F is not published yet). Avoid libtelepathy-glib0 0.15.6; try to stay with the old version (should work, untested) or get the 0.15.7 version (fixes the issue).
