[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] Wiki page for GNOME:Ayatana
by Nelson Marques 02 Jul '11

02 Jul '11

Hi all, I've made some last time fixes on the wiki page for GNOME:Ayatana[1]. It's less bloated and as far as I am aware it does fit fine for this project. No I'm not volunteering myself to fix other wiki pages unless they are GNOME related and I certainly wouldn't like to become a 'wiki warrior'.

[opensuse-gnome] Some mono packages...
by Nelson Marques 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Guys, I'm asking this an advice... Should I submit an update request / new package for dbus-sharp-glib and some updates for mono packages in Factory ? I'm not really sure why they are not being updated while in Mono there's updated packages (even compared to Mono:Factory). I don't want to override no one, but I just think the whole situation is sad. I've sent some emails to the MOno maintainers, but got no replies and 3 returned as no longer active. I mean, it's not really my attitude to go after people... but it seems we might have to deal with orphan packages... As someone pointed to me, Fedora has a policy to handle this cases, and in openSUSE, wtf do we do?

[opensuse-gnome] Recently dropped / to-be-dropped packages
by Vincent Untz 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Hi there, I guess this is some useful information, so here's a summary of packages that were recently dropped and packages that we will possibly drop in the near future. I'd appreciate help/feedback for the second category :-) Recently dropped: - the telepathy farsight1 stack: everything moved to farsight2, so we didn't need those anymore. . libjingle . farsight . gstreamer-0_10-plugins-farsight . telepathy-stream-engine - swfdec: it is not maintained anymore, and doesn't support recent flash. . swfdec . swfdec-gnome . swfdec-mozilla - python-clutter: using clutter from python should be done with gobject introspection now, and not those manual bindings for old versions of clutter. . python-clutter . python-clutter-gst . python-clutter-gtk - various packages related to thin client management: those were never really maintained in openSUSE, and one of them was using hal. So we just dropped them. . dmlangsel . file-shrimp . thinclient-greeter . thinclient-settings . thinclient-users Things we will possibly drop in the near future: - packages depending on libpanel-applet-2 (GNOME 2.x applets), that will not get ported to GNOME 3. . deskbar-applet (dead, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626223#c1) . libpanelappletmm (looks dead, and was only needed for gnote that won't use it anymore) And maybe: . contact-lookup-applet (depending on upstream) . drapes (upstream looks dead, so not going to be ported?) . gnome-main-menu (if not ported) . gnome-netstatus (depending on upstream) - maybe gnome-pilot-conduits: we need to check with upstream if it's still useful, but it needs gnome-pilot 2.x right now. A simple mail to upstream maintainer would do. - maybe pino: doesn't build, current branch is dead upstream and there's a preliminary new branch but it's in alpha, and doesn't look very active. - maybe nautilus-share: I'm not convinced it can easily be ported to nautilus 3.x, and it's really dead upstream as far as I can tell... Someone needs to investigate.

[opensuse-gnome] 11.4 Nautilus Issues
by Marco Calistri 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Hello, I noticed two unexpected issues on Nautilus 3.0.2. [I'm too lazy to file a bug-report (bad example of linux user!) so I use this ML to spread out my feeling]. 1) If you save an image as JPEG-2000 (*jp2) then Nautilus crashes whenever attempting to open the folder containing such image. 2) If Nautilus is already opened (I.E. for burning a DVD) then you cannot open a new session from Gnome 3 Activity-Bar until previous Nautilus process completed. I think both behaviours are undesired and at least to me they are looking as Nautilus bugs.

[opensuse-gnome] Mentoring in the GNOME team
by Vincent Untz 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hey there, While watching Dominique reserve all of the packages to update for GNOME 3.1.2, I started thinking about mentoring some people who'd like to get involved in the team but don't know how to contribute. We already have several people working in the team doing various things, and that's great! But there might be others who only have half an hour every now and then and think they can't make a difference with that. And that's wrong! Half an hour is more than enough to complete a task. The biggest barrier, though, is that you might have time to learn what you can do in such a short period of time, and how to do it. Hence the idea of mentoring. It's easy to imagine small tasks that could be mentored: update a package, triage bugs, work on maintenance updates, look at features and propose a few ones for next version, etc. And it turns out that we can easily mentor people here. So I'm wondering out loud: are there people here who would like help on starting to contribute?

[opensuse-gnome] Shell / GTK3 themes - info
by Nelson Marques 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hi good people, As discussed on previously gnome meeting I volunteered myself to find someone willing to desing/work on an alternative theme we could use for openSUSE. I've traded a few messages with '0rAX0' an artist I've found at Deviant Art, and he's willing to help us out and cooperate with us to improve and maintain shell themes. I don't know what's Vincent's ideas towards the mentorship program, but I think we have a potential candidate here. I leave for reference his user page on Deviant Art[1] and I'm working on an email explaining him the resources we use for communication and so on. I would love to see him integrated in our Team and if possible to have him also integrated on opensuse-artwork (would be awesome to have a GNOME'r there). PS: Anyone has a final on Malcom's GNOME:Extras (or whatever?)

[opensuse-gnome] New package submitted to G:Apps - synapse

Hi all, I've just submitted 'synapse'[1] to G:Apps.

[opensuse-gnome] I am confused......
by Basil Chupin 25 Jun '11

25 Jun '11

And many will comment with, "So tell us something new!" But this time I really am. Two weeks ago or so I installed Gnome3 from the gnome.org site which had gnome3 for openSUSE 11.4 (32-bit) version. Here is what it looked like when told other people in another distro what gnome3 on openSUSE likes like: http://picpaste.com/Gnome3-2A-eP9UEyIv.jpg . I was using it and enjoying it - until a friend told me that there were some new videos posted on YouTube, but I couldn't view them (using Firefox). To cut a long story short, after 4 days of trying to fiddle with my installation to be able to view ANY videos (be they on YouTube or BBC.co.uk) I decided that the best way out was to re-install openSUSE and take it from there. So, this time 'round I installed Gnome from the openSUSE 11.4 DVD (NOT the one from Gnome.org) did all the usual updates, then installed the Gnome3 repos as mentioned in this list, did the "zypper dup" song and dance act......and when I rebooted I was told that I couldn't run gnome3 and that the default gnome would be running instead. Nice, I thought, worked OK for a week+ but now I am told I am in "deep poo-poos". OK, I thought, the usual nVidia driver thing with openSUSE not detecting that I have the ability to run the required graphics. So I install the latest 275 nVidia driver downloaded directly from nVidia just like in the past.....and what do I get? I still have what appears to be the gnome 2.x appearance - but it isn't quite the 2.x thingie because I am not able to hide the top/bottom taskbars, for example. What is most frustrating is that the APPLICATIONS>SYSTEM SETTINGS>SYSTEM INFO is showing me that I have Gnome 3.0.2 installed - which is, to me, obviously total horse-droppings. The bottom line is: anyone know what I could be missing as a setting to be able to see the Gnome3 desktop which I show in the picpaste screenshot above? Or do I have to go back to gnome.org and re-install their version of openSUSE 11.4 with Gnome3 and throw out what openSUSE itself has provided on their DVD + upgrades in Gnome3:/STABLE:/? Any help to make me retain some mental sanity, and dignity, would be greatly appreciated..... :-) . BC -- The Annual General Meeting of Psychics has been cancelled due to unforseen circumstances.

[opensuse-gnome] fglrx and recovery from a console
by Michael Hill 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

Can someone point me to an openSUSE Howto or procedure for recovering from the command line after a bad upgrade? I'm familiar with the steps required in Debian or Ubuntu, but they don't help here. On or about Monday of this week I was able to zypper up for the first time in weeks, and presumably got May's fglrx upgrade. My top bar has always been the wrong colour (mostly white) and the icons have been difficult to see, but after a few hours of using the new version of the driver it looked perfect for the first time, not black but transparent. Yesterday there was another upgrade, and after a restart I couldn't get to my desktop, just a black screen with the spinning progress indicator. I poked around from Console 1 for a while but did not succeed in downgrading fglrx from an rpm in my Downloads folder or getting back online from yast (since nm had failed to start). It would be nice to have a recovery procedure in these situations. Eventually I re-installed from my Live DVD stick, but that comes with its own issues since neither my video nor wireless drivers are included. I did get the latest fglrx re-installed and my top bar is back to being ugly again... a downgrade to the previous version hasn't fixed it.

[opensuse-gnome] Packages for gnome-shell extensions
by Vincent Untz 21 Jun '11

21 Jun '11

Hi, Malcolm has been amazing lately: he's been working on packages for various gnome-shell extensions. That's great! However, I'm a bit reluctant to accept them in G:A and push them to Factory because of the lack of guarantee from upstream about keeping extensions working and I'm afraid we'd have to offer some guarantee ourselves instead -- which we probably don't want to do. The upstream gnome-shell-extensions package is an exception to this, since it's known to be maintained reasonably well. Instead of putting the extensions in G:A, I was playing with the idea of using a new project for that (say GNOME:shell-extensions). People would easily be able to use extensions there, although we wouldn't provide any hard guarantee. I'm not completely happy with having yet another project, but on the other hand, I'm not sure if there's a better solution. Opinions?

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 3 and Cyrillic glyphs
by Nelson Marques 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Hi all, Sorry to bring this all again, but it seems I failed big time and Cantarell fonts really do not have support for Cyrillic glyphs. As many people are aware the Russian speaking community is a big part of the openSUSE user base (for example, the default install does contemplate the russian lang packages alongside with german and another I don't recall, probably english). I've taken the liberty of opening a bug report upstream (bgo#652833), and we'll see what happens. As for openSUSE GNOME there's two paths we can follow: 1. Continue with Cantarell and check future developments from upstream with Cantarell and kindly suggest our Russian users to change fonts upon install; 2. Use a font that supports the current glyphs (ex: latin) and russian as default (eventually everyone should be happy). I know before hand that Deja Vu fonts do have some support for Cyrillic glyphs alongside with others (ex: greek). I just thought it would be interesting to bring the subject once more to your concern and see if we can do something to make life easier for our Russian speaking community.

[opensuse-gnome] Gtk+ HTML backend!
by Vincent Untz 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Hey hey, After some discussion in the meeting yesterday, we tweaked the packaging of gtk3 to enable the broadway backend. This is some totally crazily insanely cool thing where GTK+ will run with a HTML5 backend. It should be available shortly (already in G:F, although G:F is struggling to get published). You can use this way: GDK_BACKEND=broadway your-application& firefox http://127.0.0.1:8080/ See http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2011/03/15/gtk-html-backend-update/ and other posts on Alex's blog for more details. I haven't even tested it, but I'm sure some of you will :-) 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] Python 3 fun
by Vincent Untz 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Friends, I submitted today a change to python-gobject, which will result in a new python3-gobject package, ie a pygobject built for python 3. It's available in my branch right now (home:vuntz:branches:devel:languages:python), but it should get pushed to Factory at some point in the near future. And the cool news is that thanks to introspection, this means that most of the GNOME stack is now usable from python 3. I'm unsure if there's any app already ported to python 3, but that might be something people want to play with, so enjoy :-) 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] seahorse, key add-server fails

Hello, I would like to use for my e-mail (evolution and seahorse) traffic encryption. I unfortunately do not allow the cause of seahorse-key servers (ICPs), but defined when you try a different key to add the LDAP server does not work, because I do not use ldap. Is there a way to get here seahorse also allow others to be an LDAP server?

[opensuse-gnome] f-spot vs shotwell (for default photo manager)
by Vincent Untz 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

Hi, I want to raise the question of our default photo manager application. Right now this is f-spot. However, lately, it has been moving slower than usual for various reasons (contributors have a life!), and while f-spot has served us well, it appears that shotwell is really moving fast and people love it. I'm not really a big user of such an app, so we need some people to play with both to tell us if it's reasonable to switch to shotwell by default for 12.1. If it's not, then it's all fine and we can stay with f-spot.

[opensuse-gnome] gnome-speech & gnome-mag going to be dropped
by Vincent Untz 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

Hi, I figured that this might be of interest to people following accessibility development. The new orca doesn't use gnome-speech nor gnome-mag anymore. It instead relies on speech-dispatcher, and on the GNOME 3 magnification in GNOME Shell. As those two packages have been kind of dead for a long time, I'm going to drop them for 12.1.

[opensuse-gnome] ibus vs scim
by Bin Li 16 Jun '11

16 Jun '11

Hi, Just viewed the Vincent's 'f-spot vs shotwell' for our default photo manager application. And how about switch the default input method from scim to ibus? Right now this is scim. And also it has been moving slower. Now ibus is really moving fast and people love it. Ubuntu already use it as default. It's just my point, and we need the other to tell if it's better user experience to switch to ibus by default for 12.1. Any ideas? Thanks!

[opensuse-gnome] Evolution / Empathy cannot connect
by Adam Tauno Williams 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

I have one openSUSE 11.4 workstation [desktop] that is having problems after upgrading to GNOME 3. Evolution and Empathy start but never seem to connect. Evolution is just checking-folders and empathy is "Connecting...". Eventually Evolution fails with a cannot-connect-to.... message. But other IMAP clients on the host work fine. Potentially related - Going into system settings / network results in the warning "The system network services are not compatible with this version." And there is no network manager in the top-bar. Any suggestions? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
