[opensuse-gnome] Heads-Up: GNOME 3.3.2 landed in GNOME:Factory
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

Hi all! This is just a quick heads-up for all of you GNOME:Factory lovers: GNOME 3.3.2 has just landed and is in a massive rebuild there. Once completed and published, potentially a lot might go wrong (some more packages might fail to build, as we have a new glib and a new gtk version, both deprecating a bunch of APIs). Please keep your eyes open and don't be afraid to report any anomalies! I might not be able to fix them within a few minutes but for sure we do want to keep them on our radar (so bugzilla might be the right thing to register it, if you feel it's a bug). So long, Happy GNOME:Factory testing (Also GNOME:Apps got some updates. I'd expect even more fallouts there though due to the updated glib!)

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME Activity Journal
by Adam Tauno Williams 25 Nov '11

25 Nov '11

When I run gnome-activity-journal I see no events. Possibly this is because if I go to preferences / plugins I see nothing listed? Should I see plugins? Are they required? If so, where to they come from? /usr/bin/zeitgeist-daemon is running. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] How does Nautilus detect 'remote' file systems?
by Richard Brown 21 Nov '11

21 Nov '11

I'm curious as to how Nautilus is meant to detect 'remote' file systems, for the purpose of the 'Local Files Only' option in Nautilus's Preferences > Preview Tab Does anyone know how it's meant to work? I have a machine with a number of mounts to remote NCP volumes Unfortunately nautilus seems to think they're local so performance is degraded as nautilus wants to delve into every text file, thumbnail every video and picture, and count all the items in folders Setting all the options in Preview to 'Never' of course fixes my performance problem, but I'm wondering if this is a bug or a 'by design' because nautilus has no way of knowing my ncp mounts are 'remote'.. Comments/Suggestions/Thoughts please :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] 12.1 is done, what's next? :-)
by Vincent Untz 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

Hi all, Unless you're living in some alternative reality, you've seen that 12.1 went out yesterday. We're getting some positive feedbacks (and also new bugs). I want to thank everyone who helped integrate GNOME for this release: I feel that it's the release where we got the most people helping out, and that's amazing! Let's keep that spirit! Btw, "helping out" is not just packaging / bug fixing, but it's really everything that contributes to making the GNOME team a well alive group of people. And now, what's next? 12.2 is going to be out around next July, and that will include GNOME 3.4.x. But that's all we know for sure. I'd love to hear what all of you would like us to achieve in the next 8 months. Of course we won't achieve everything, but setting a direction can't hurt :-) So, do you see this "reply" button in your mail client? Yes? Ok, click on it and go wild!

[opensuse-gnome] 12.1 Menu Language half Greek/half English
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

Hello, I installed 12.1 Gnome LiveCD. During installation I choose Greek language and keyboard. It finished and I see menu in English and only few in Greek. I tried to change the language using YaST but it said something like: Some menus are in English and you won't have all in Greek. Only DVD installation has all languages I guess. Well, I did something and I fixed it but not sure if it was the correct thing to do. I wrote zypper dup I upgrade my 12.1 system to 12.1 ;-) After restart, all menus were in Greek. Is there something wrong with the localization YaST module? Have a lot of run!!!

[opensuse-gnome] Virtual machine
by Michael Hill 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

Is anyone running 12.1/12.2 in a virtual machine? I was updating my VMware install yesterday and it was interrupted... when it finished it was unable to start GNOME Shell fallback mode, cycling between the desktop's spinning progress indicator and the console prompt. If I try to start GDM from Console 1, I get the same behaviour except with the wristwatch progress indicator. Is there a default X setup that will restore fallback mode? I have a VirtualBox VM on the same computer (not updated, still working) and will try to see if there's a configuration I can copy.

Re: [opensuse-gnome] 12.1 is done, what's next? :-)
by Richard Brown 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

Stuff I'd like to see us think about 1 - Sonar theme in there and possibly as default - as great as -shell looks normally I like the idea of openSUSE being different from the pack. 2 - Extensions - as happy as I am with alt-status-menu installed by default, it does feel like a dirty little cludge and extensions.gnome.org changes the field of play. Points I want us to consider for 12.2 - How should we package extensions in the future? how can we encourage people to use extensions.o.o? can we still install extensions globally and set them by default? If a packaged and default extension like alt-status-menu doesn't make sense in this new world, how do we educate about the Alt key - do we need a first run splash like KDE? 3. Options - the never ending GNOME push for simplification isn't totally bad but I find myself annoyed at some options I feel are 'missing' in 3.2 - for example no longer being able to change what my power button does without hacking into dconf-editor. As a distro that generally caters for a more technical user is this wholly bad, or can we find a way to re-expose a number of these settings? is adding them to advanced settings/Tweak tool the way to go? Can we get tweak tool integrated into System Settings? 4. Online integration - what's the point of having twitter there when nothing uses the setting? Is there a way we can expose epiphany's awesome Web application feature without needing the user to run epiphany? Could we use it to create pre-defined shortcuts that could bring users to the various web applications of openSUSE (Forums, Paste, Software search, etc?) 4.5 - If we can point people to http://software.o.o for epiphany, do we need something like the Software Center, couldn't we just sex-up software.o.o? (and in the process make something better for all openSUSE users, not just GNOMErs) I think I've got a few other things bubbling away that I'd like us to think about but those are the top 4 that spring to mind..

[opensuse-gnome] Warning: GNOME:Factory possibly broken in the near future
by Vincent Untz 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hi all, We've started pushing GNOME 3.3.x to GNOME:Factory, and one big change is that glib doesn't allow usage of individual headers. This is creating many build failures, and so G:F might be broken in fun ways if you use it :-) 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] Browser alert boxes
by Sankar P 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

Hi, I've been running a mixed version of Factory + 11.4 + 12.1 so far. Today I decided to upgrade to 12.1 proper. After the upgrade, browser javascript alert boxes seem to appear in a KDE-ish flavor (see attachment). Anyone else facing this issue ? With this same chrome browser, on my previous OS (11.4 +12.1 etc.) , the alert boxes were in GNOME-ish flavor. Should I file a bug ? Sankar http://psankar.blogspot.com

[opensuse-gnome] Can´t choose a server in Evolution 2.32.1 (openSUSE 11.4)
by Kim Leyendecker 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

Hello GNOME people, I installed Evolution because I want to switch away from Thunderbird and Evolution looks pretty good to me, so, I want to try it. No, I configured a new account. I typed in my name, and my GMail adress. The next option I get was the configuration of the incoming server. Here, nothing was there to choose. I´m running openSUSE 11.4 with KDE, and Thunderbird and KMail installed. Do you got the same? Do you know a fix or workaround for that? Would be fantastic if. thanks in advance, --kdl -- -o) Kim Leyendecker /\\ openSUSE Ambassador, openSUSE Wiki Team DE _\_v http://www.opensuse.org - Linux for open minds -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Banshee submission

Hi, Currently I have Banshee:Unstable/banshee as a branch of GNOME:Apps/banshee (same for banshee-community-extensions). To be honest I do like this setup, but the review of banshee update I submitted to GNOME:Apps it's kinda killing my joy as I would love to have it already served on Banshee:Unstable. Anyone someone can review accept/decline the package so I can have my stuff updated on Banshee:Unstable ?
