[opensuse-gnome] package: gnome-video-arcade
by Nelson Marques 05 May '11

05 May '11

Hi all, A quick question, I've packaged gnome-video-arcade[1] from a git snapshot, which already supports GTK3. I need a project for this application which is basically a front-end for MAME (a multi system emulator) and was considering GNOME:Apps for it. This will raise a small problem, we need sdlmame on factory. This does sounds interesting for GNOME in openSUSE ?

[opensuse-gnome] For those wondering about GNOME 3 status in openSUSE...
by Vincent Untz 03 May '11

03 May '11

Hi, If you're wondering what's the status of GNOME 3 in openSUSE... Frédéric and Dominique have been working hard to prepare GNOME:STABLE:3.0 and make GNOME 3 available on 11.4. But this is not ready yet. Let me repeat it: this is not ready yet. There is no point in asking on irc, on forums, or on mailing lists when it will be ready (and really do not ask directly fcrozat or DimStar while they're working on it :-)) -- this is just slowing the efforts down. Instead, wait for the announcement or go check http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_3.0 to see the current status. For people who still decide to use GNOME 3 now (yes, it's possible to get it working, but it requires some plumbing as the upgrade process can break your system): we don't accept bugs about it at the moment, especially "I can't login anymore" bugs. As for Factory, we'll merge things in GNOME:Factory very soon now. This means GNOME:Factory will likely be a bit broken for a few days. We'd love to have things already available, but unfortunately, it takes a bit more time than what we'd like :/ But we're nearly there and we mostly need to smooth out the upgrade process to make sure it doesn't break things for users. Thanks for your understanding.

[opensuse-gnome] Installing GNOME 3 on openSUSE 11.4
by Adam Tauno Williams 30 Apr '11

30 Apr '11

I added the GNOME 3 repository and followed the instructions found at <http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_3.0> And now I'm stuck using IceWM because GNOME won't start. Attempting to log into GNOME fails with, and I quote: "Something went wrong". <ASIDE> Seriously? I'm a professional sys-admin for 15+ years... what a dumb $&@*&@@ message / dialog. How about indicating somehow in anyway at least a hint as to *what* happened? That message is stupid and lazy. </ASIDE> Anyway, I went and looked in ~/.xsession-errors and I see it appear to end with a "JS ERROR" exception relating to 'requiring Gkbd, version: none'. There is no package named *gkbd*, some searching about made me suspect this should be provided by "gir", but that package is installed. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME:Factory users, be warned!
by Vincent Untz 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Hello world, Dominique pressed the big red button, and now GNOME 3 is submitted for review to GNOME:Factory. This means that GNOME:Factory will likely be broken in many interesting ways for the next few days, until all packages gets in (and likely until all packages actually enter to Factory itself). So I strongly suggest to all people using GNOME:Factory to stop updating it in the short term :-) 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] GNOME 3 & Dynamic WEP / Protected EAP / MSCHAPv2
by Nelson Marques 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

People, My University WiFi is done through Dynamic WEP / Protected EAP / MSCHAPv2. This has always worked fine with NetworkManager on GNOME2, but with GNOME3 after it's properly configured it just resets to WEP and keeps asking for password (and doesn't assume the Dynamic WEAP/PEAP/MSCHAPv2 configurations. I haven't opened a bug report before asking here as people might probably be aware of something that I might be missing.... -- Nelson Marques /* As cicatrizes lembram-nos de onde estivemos, mas não ditam para onde vamos */ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME:STABLE:3.0 repository is now available for openSUSE 11.4
by Frederic Crozat 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Hi everyone, the wait is over, openSUSE GNOME team is pleased to announce GNOME:STABLE:3.0 repository is now open and can be used (but you must be running openSUSE 11.4). Everything is explained at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_3.0 including : * how to install GNOME 3 using 1-click install (or zypper ) * how to switch from my previous repository (home:fcrozat:gnome3, which will be soon phased out) to the new repository. This is important to continue receiving updates, for instance, if you installed live image on your system. Enjoy ! (For bug reports, please file a bug against openSUSE 11.4 and put [gnome3] in the summary of the bug) -- Frederic Crozat <fcrozat(a)novell.com> Novell -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-gnome] GNOME 3 and ATI

Hi, Looking at Phoronix, turns out Catalyst 11.4 for Linux was released today - am I right in thinking this is the equivalent to the fglrx packages in ATI's repo at www2.ati.com/suse/? If so, the packages in there (which is what I have been using) still have a builddate of 10/03/11 and are probably out of date now I'll be trying the v11.4 installer from AMD's site when I'm next at the machine in the hope that it'll work a little better Can't seem to find any changelogs for 11.4 yet though so this will be a shot in the dark Thanks for the help >>> Nelson Marques 04/27/11 8:52 PM >>> Hi, I've filled that bug report. I don't see a much brighter future on ATI since in the last times they lost 2 very important people that were working on the Linux drivers (further info searchable on Phoronix). It could be nice that someone from our X.org team could contact them regarding those issues with GNOME3. Unity suffered from a few problems with ATI proprietary drivers also, but according to it's changelogs they appeared to be fixed now. At least the radeon DRM driver is working OK for me, though with default settings it overheats a lot my laptop (easilly worked out by forcing the low energy setting profile on rc.local). I'm not really sure if GNOME devs can help with this particular issue. ATI/AMD should be releasing a new driver in the upcoming days following their monthly releases schedule, lets wait and see. I'm also looking forward to see if can have some joy in the future with G3 and ATI.

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 3 and ATI
by Richard Brown 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

Hi All, I'm having a heck of a time trying to get GNOME 3 running on a current generation iMac with its ATI Mobility 4670 graphics card fglrx works but has some horrific issues with the activities bar (as covered here http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=99 ) and multiple monitors (no bug filed yet, but basically the second screen's output is horrifically corrupted) The default radeon driver appears to be out of the question - kernel seems to lockup whenever the module is loaded. Some bugs floating about imply this is a kernel issue. This problem is so severe I need to add fglrx as an Add-On product during installation or else I can't get the install to continue after the file copy. I've tried but I cant seem to get the radeonHD driver to work either - constantly complaining about No Screens Found. I'm not having any issues on my nvidia or intel machines, really making me hate AMD/ATI now Anyone got any ideas on how to get GNOME 3 working on this most frustrating bucket of bolts? Ilmehtar from IRC here - finally got around to using these lists (Yes yes, I know, I took too long) Richard Brown Systems Engineering Team Leader City College Brighton and Hove -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 3 issues
by Michael Hill 22 Apr '11

22 Apr '11

I installed openSUSE from the GNOME 3 Live CD (thanks, Frederic!), jumping ship from another distro where GNOME 3 isn't a priority. It's mostly terrific, but I'm having a few small issues. 1. How do I disable Automatic Login? It seems obvious, pulling up User Accounts with My Account in the myname pull-down, but the switch has no effect. The GDM login seems to be accessible only if I power on and then log out. 2. The Flash plug-in works in Firefox, but is simply missing in Epiphany. Is there a way to implicitly specify its use in Epiphany? Is swfdec-mozilla a reliable alternative? 3. Not a big deal, but my cheap and badly-supported (by HP) LaserJet 1020 is recognized but is not receiving print jobs. I followed the 11.3 howto for installing the proprietary driver, but no success. I recently upgraded the printer's firmware to work with my wife's iMac, but it isn't working there, either. When I plugged it into Ubuntu the first time, I was told a driver needed to be downloaded and everything happened automatically. Any help would be appreciated.
