[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] Fwd: [opensuse-artwork] 12.1 Mokups
by Nelson Marques 31 May '11

31 May '11

Hi all, It seems that the Artwork Team is mobilizing for the next release branding artwork. Though I'm not fluent in their creative ways, is anything that I should take to their knowledge on behalf of the GNOME team? (hint: maybe avoiding dark backgrounds, defined shaps vs abstract, shiny vs opaque paletts?) And for their delight GNOME:Apps provides one more potent tool for their job... GNOME seems to deliver all the muscle for their work :) NM ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Raul <rauhmaru(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, May 31, 2011 at 8:03 PM Subject: [opensuse-artwork] 12.1 Mokups To: openSUSE Artwork <opensuse-artwork(a)opensuse.org> Hello friends, And then, let's start? The 12.1 is with the same appearance of 11.4. It's time we start to produce the wallpapers, skins, andwhat else is needed. cheers, -- Raul Libório -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] G:Ayatana - a brief update
by Nelson Marques 19 May '11

19 May '11

Hi all, As some people are aware, the base dependencies for Unity and everything around it were already submitted to G:Ayatana. Since GNOME2's future is uncertain, it would be waste to drop all those cute packages and hacks that grinding my mind for countless hours (also the tools that served a cool objective, my learning curve with RPM building and OBS). So even if they useless, I am pretty much pleased with everything I got out of this. I've decided to drop Unity some time ago waiting for better days (hopefully will come when Canonical migrates their stuff to GTK3). Meanwhile I've pretty much prepared Unity-2D, there's a few glitches, sure... but they will be fixed soon and I will submit the packages. Hopefully by 12.1 if I don't have Unity for a spin, I'll have Unity-2D which in my humble opinion is actually nicer and faster than it's big brother (probably less buggy and featured at moment too). No, it's not also a candidate to replace GNOME3, which was a very positive surprise. I'm polishing the stuff and see if I redo a few patches for cmake to upstream and will submit this packages after. Once they are submitted and since GNOME3 release was a success, I'll release the repository with a 1-Click installer for Unity-2D for 11.4 and hopefully 12.1 will bring the real thing, which I've discovered the bloody problem with nux (which shouldn't happen with GTK3).

[opensuse-gnome] Why won't vlc install in oS with Gnome?
by Basil Chupin 16 May '11

16 May '11

I simply cannot install vlc in 11.4 with gnome - but it installs, and behaves, perfectly in 11.4 with KDE. I have used the "1-click install" in Packman and also downloaded vlc from videolan - and both are supposed to install in oS 11.4. However, when installing the rpm from videolan I get the error message: nothing provides libvlccore.so.4 needed by vlc-1.1.9-1.pm.2.4.i586 and the one from packman comes up with the error message: nothing provides libvlc-backend-vlc-0.3.2-1.pm.2.2.i586 Anybody know the story on how to get vlc installed and working under gnome in openSUSE 11.4, please? (Frustration plus......... :-( .)

[opensuse-gnome] How to Darken Evolution default black font
by Marco Calistri 14 May '11

14 May '11

List members, I would like to darken default Evolution font colour which looks as a "light-black" instead to be a "true dark-black". In my opinion this should be better, especially when laptop goes into low power battery stage and screen went less brilliant sometimes is difficult to read email or worse is replying since the reply citation is normally less dark. It is very noticeable for example the difference between Evolution black and Firefox black, the later is undoubtedly darker. Have you any suggestion for this issue?

[opensuse-gnome] My current comments on Gnome #3
by Basil Chupin 12 May '11

12 May '11

I have upgraded my oS 11.4 32-bit installation of Gnome to Gnome #3 and been playing around with it for a day. I like it, and it has potential. It is not yet perfect but if one overlooks the present warts it is still usable in a *productive* environment. I have, since I first installed XP, in them dim, wasted-forever, years, tried to configure my desktop to be "clean" ie, just a plain, clean looking, with nothing on it, desktop with just a wallpaper (but preferably, if possible, wallpaper*s*) of my choice. Gnome #3 gives this to me without any effort on my part. My compliments to the Gnome #3 devs for their effort! There are at least a couple of questions I would like to have answered but I will leave these for now because I can live with the 'annoyances' - unless they will continue into the future for ever more and not get attended to. To be very honest, it is a toss-up at the moment between KDE 4.6.(3) and Gnome #3 but unless I have some VERY bad days over the next weeks then I feel at the that Gnome #3 is quite pleasant to use.

[opensuse-gnome] Stranded by GNOME3 (Where else to look for errors?)
by Adam Tauno Williams 12 May '11

12 May '11

So, this morning GNOME3 has left me stranded, with a useless desktop. I have to fail over into a barely working XFCE install, and I'm sending this from Alpine. First - can someone *SHOOT* that dorking cartoony "Ooops! something has gone wrong." crap that pops up when GNOME3 fails. It isn't helpful; and logging out and trying again, of course, is *never* going to actually work [if nothing else changes]. Second - where is a good second place to look for errors, besides .xsession-errors. There is nothing intersting there. It complains about not being able to contact gconf, but looking back it appears it always claims that. Does GNOME3 or its components dump information anywhere else? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
