[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] Testing of updated gnome-games for 2.32
by Andrew Wafaa 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Aloha my fellow garden guardians, I need a little bit of help from non GNOME3 users if possible, please? I have patched gnome-games as requested by vuntz but I can't test it and as such I can't submit it to be pushed out via the normal update channels. So if you're a GNOME2 user on 11.4 please could you add my branch [0] and update gnome-games. The fix is for glchess enabling you to start it in 3d. Please let me know if there are any issues etc. Thanks, Andy 0 - http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/FunkyPenguin:/branches:/ope… -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin GPG: 0x3A36312F -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] YaST's gtk interface now in gtk3
by Atri Bhattacharya 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hi! There's good news for the upcoming 12.1 release from the perspective of the users of YaST's gtk interface (the default YaST interface on GNOME) -- the port of the interface to gtk3 is now complete and will hit the factory shelves soon, thanks to Duncan (dmacvicar) and Ricardo Cruz who made it happen. This ensures its perfect integration into the GNOME 3 desktop that debuts (in openSUSE land) with 12.1. Please do test out the fresh-out-of-the-oven gtk3 version as much as you can and report bugs at http://bugzilla.novell.com. If you are impatient in waiting for the version to hit Factory, like me, you can simply get it off svn as documented at http://en.opensuse.org/YaST2-GTK#Download . Please note that you will need the following dependencies installed in your system to compile yast2-gtk from svn: gcc-c++ cmake gtk3-devel yast2-devtools yast2-core-devel yast2-libyui-devel libzypp-devel You are also encouraged to report on improvements you would like to see made to yast2-gtk (over and above its current form), usability wise and feature wise, either by replying to this mail or by posting on yast2-gtk's group page at http://groups.google.com/group/yast2-gtk Thanks and bye -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Banshee in GNOME:Apps
by Nelson Marques 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hi all, A few time ago I've sent an email to Gabriel and Aaron asking if we could move banshee development project for oS:Factory to GNOME:Apps and then update the Banshee repository from the stable release in GNOME:Apps (I'll keep it updated). Just as a heads up, we have dbus-sharp and dbus-sharp-glib already on oS:Factory, so I've SR'ed banshee to GNOME:Apps. The plan is the following: 1. notify-sharp - This package needs to be patched to use dbus-sharp and dbus-sharp-glib, I've done this already and it's on Mono and Mono:Factory. - Vincent, can you file a change devel request from GNOME:Apps/notify-sharp to Mono:Factory/notify-sharp? We have the updated package already prepared. Talked with Stephen, it's ok that we hold that package. - Stephen, any news with upstream to see if we can get that patch upstreamed (or if that package is even maintained upstream?)? 2. I've submitted Banshee 2.1.0 to GNOME:Apps. Feel free to take action, furthermore, do you also want to host banshee-community-extensions on GNOME:Apps? Let me know so I can submit it. With dbus-sharp and dbus-sharp-glib on oS:Factory, we're cool, but would be neat we could handle 1. first so that we have it all running cool.

[opensuse-gnome] zypper dup leftovers?
by Gerald Pfeifer 18 Jul '11

18 Jul '11

Hi there, I have a test installation that has been zypper dup-ed regularily over a longer period and today noticed that a number of packages remaining on that system may be obsolete? That is, do we lack a couple of Obsoletes: at strategic spots? % rpm -qa '*gnome*' | egrep -v '^patterns|^PolicyKit|gnome3|3\.' includes the following: bundle-lang-gnome-en-11.4-26.9.noarch bundle-lang-gnome-extras-en-11.4-20.1.noarch 11.4? Should this be 12.1, or removed/obsoleted? gnome-audio-2.22.2-35.2.noarch gnome-desktop2-2.32.1-10.2.x86_64 gnome-desktop2-lang-2.32.1-10.2.noarch Suspicous version numbers reminding me of older GNOME releases? gnome-js-common-0.1.2-4.2.x86_64 gnome-mag-0.16.3-8.1.x86_64 gnome-main-menu-0.9.15-15.1.x86_64 Not sure about these. gnome-media-2.91.2-1.1.x86_64 gnome-media-lang-2.91.2-1.1.noarch Leftovers from pre-GNOME 3? Removing this also wants to remove gnome-applets, but I guess this is okay? gnome-panel-applet-tracker-0.11.0-4.1.x86_64 gnome-pty-helper-0.28.1-2.1.x86_64 Not sure. gnome-python-desktop-2.32.0-10.4.x86_64 Older GNOME release? gnome-speech-0.4.25-11.1.x86_64 gnome-vfs2-2.24.4-4.2.x86_64 gnome-vfs2-32bit-2.24.4-4.2.x86_64 gnome-web-photo-0.10.2-2.1.x86_64 libgail-gnome-1.20.4-2.1.x86_64 libgnome-desktop-2-17-2.32.1-10.2.x86_64 Not sure. libgnome-2.32.1-2.2.x86_64 libgnome-32bit-2.32.1-2.2.x86_64 libgnome-lang-2.32.1-2.2.noarch libgnome-window-settings1-2.32.1-10.2.x86_64 Older GNOME release? libgnomeprintui-2.18.6-6.2.x86_64 libgnomeprintui-lang-2.18.6-6.2.noarch libgnomesu-1.0.0-336.1.x86_64 libgnomesu-lang-1.0.0-336.1.noarch libgnomesu0-1.0.0-336.1.x86_64 libgnomeui-2.24.5-2.2.x86_64 libproxy0-gnome-32bit-0.2.3-8.6.x86_64 libxine1-gnome-vfs-1.1.19-6.5.x86_64 mozilla-xulrunner20-gnome-2.0.1-4.1.x86_64 python-gnome-2.28.1-11.2.x86_64 python-gnomecanvas-2.28.1-11.2.x86_64 python-gnomedesktop-2.32.0-10.4.x86_64 python-gnomekeyring-2.32.0-10.4.x86_64 python-gnomeprint-2.32.0-10.4.x86_64 python-gnomevfs-2.28.1-11.2.x86_64 Mixture of "not sure" and me wondering whether the 2.32 refers to the latest GNOME 2 release? If you prefer, I can file this in Bugzilla, just wasn't sure given that most of this is not based on hard knowledge on my side.

[opensuse-gnome] Hello
by rAX 16 Jul '11

16 Jul '11

Hi, My name is Reda Lazri, I'm 25, I live in Algeria, some people may know me by 0rAX0, former Ubuntu user and current Arch/GNOME 3 user. I'm a graphic designer(wanabe), I did logos, icons, brochures, CD covers, 3D, some web design work...etc I also make themes(some of them were generously featured by OMG! Ubuntu!, Webupd8 and other blogs), I did the 'Homosapien' mock-up for Ubuntu Lucid which turned to be a hugely popular Metacity theme thanks to the efforts of Zac Barton and Dashua, it also influenced other people to do similar works. I also did some succesful Emerald themes (*sigh* I miss Emerald!) and a GTK2 theme (Hope GTK). Recently, I released 'Nord', my first GNOME Shell theme, which turned quite well and which is why I'm here introducing my self to a bunch of busy people :P I was contacted by Nelson Marques almost two weeks ago, he wanted to propose Nord Gnome Shell as an alternative theme in OpenSUSE 12.1 and wanted to know if I'm going to maintain it in the future. So, I will be contributing and maintaining that theme(among other stuff) and I'll make myself available if someone needs help. I have occasional lacks in time and motivation but I'll do my best :) You can visit my dA page below, it has some of what I do. And that ends my short introduction. -- deviantART: http://0rAX0.deviantart.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org
