[opensuse-gnome] GNOME:Factory at 3.1.5
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

Hi Gnomies! I just wanted to give you a heads up that last night, with the help of mighty Darix, GNOME:Factory has been updated to version 3.1.5, which is the latest release on the way to 3.2. As always, 3.1.x is considered 'unstable', but in my experience it works very well. We will keep the packages for a few days in GNOME:Factory and hope to hear of things breaking since the last update, sort those breaks out and will forward the stack to openSUSE:Factory after that. There are some changes on packaging level, coming from ABI and API breaks. The noteworthy ones are (Mails with more details will follow for each of them): * gnome-menus => Version 3.1.5 is ABI and API incompatible to the so far included version 3.0.1. A compatibility package called gnome-menus-legacy has been introduced. * python-gobject (this is currenlty in GNOME:Factory AND also already in devel:languages:python): python-gobject 2.90.x (on the road to 3.0) changed from the 'old' gobject bindings to pure gobject-introspection based bindings. Any application can only use one kind of binding at once. As a migration path, the old version has been renamed to python-gobject2 (as it was once in the past.. many packages still buildrequire python-gobject2-devel). python-gobject is the new gi-based binding. Let's get the test systems up and rolling.. let's make sure everything rocks our world!

[opensuse-gnome] yast2-control-center-gnome
by Nelson Marques 29 Sep '11

29 Sep '11

Hi, I don't use YaST a lot, but when I opened it on GNOME3 the window width looks a bit small to me. I do find it somehow more pleasant to see a bit bigger window without the icons so much unpacked. Something like [1] would make it friendlier at least for me. If there's any interest, I would go +1 for it.

[opensuse-gnome] Banshee & default radios
by Nelson Marques 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hi all, I'm not sure if people are aware but Banshee 2.2.0 reads %{_datadir}/banshee/stations for XSPF files to load default radio stations. Ok I failed because I havne't checked if any is provided by default, but... ... if Marketing, or any other is interested ... either to promote media partners or any other reason and if there's no legal issues, we can for sure provide a few open source friendly radio stations, maybe get them upstreamed as well for default installs... So if anyone has cool ideas to use this cool feature in favor of openSUSE, I'm all in favor or using it...

[opensuse-gnome] Help needed: cleaning up & submitting software-center to Factory
by Vincent Untz 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Hi all, As you might know, we had a GSoC student who worked on porting the software center used in Ubuntu to openSUSE. There's a package here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=software-center&project=hom… This needs to be updated to the latest release, and possibly cleaned up so we can push this to Factory. It's worth pointing out that, since we do not generate the appstream xml data for openSUSE, it will not just magically work, but this is something we could fix after 12.1 is released, with an online update. Any volunteer for that?

[opensuse-gnome] Bug on Nautilus (opeSUSE 11.4 - Gnome 3.0.2)
by Marco Calistri 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Gents, Sorry to post this here instead of open a bug, but I'm reminding this now and I wish to be quick: I noticed a bug, or at least "strange behaviour" on Nautilus under openSUSE 11.4 x86_64, Gnome 3.0.2: If you try to delete a folder by selecting the root folder tree on the left of the window and click "move to trash" then Nautilus crashes. Same folder deletion but now selecting a folder from the right pane of the window, doesn't replicate the problem and selected folder went removed.

[opensuse-gnome] Warning: GDM broken in GNOME:Factory
by Vincent Untz 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Hey, GDM is apparently broken in GNOME:Factory right now: there's no way to enter your password. It's fun, but doesn't help you use your computer. For now, I advise you to either not upgrade gdm from GNOME:Factory (or downgrade to the version in Factory), or to use autologin (the DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN key in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager). I doubt I'll be able to fix this tomorrow, so people are welcome to step up to debug that. My quick guess is that this commit is the issue: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/commit/?id=f91f017071ffa5f5999e6c2e2c0929e2… It should be easy to test by adding a patch to revert this change.

[opensuse-gnome] Re: [opensuse-artwork] Sonor

Hi Again Marcus, Probably best you discuss this on opensuse-gnome (cc'd) There was discussion at the GNOME 3 session at oSC which decided that it was highly likely we will be using the default theme in 12.1, but perhaps with Sonar-GTK3 packaged as an option Since then, half-left, the person behind the Sonar-GTK3 port has got involved and is actively working to get Sonar working satisfactorily on GNOME 3.2. At this stage, my opinion would be that it is possible, though unlikely, that Sonar-GTK3 will be ready enough to be considered to be the default for 12.1. My creation of 'sonar-friendly' versions of my wallpapers was just my small effort to help half-left along. AFAIK no "official" decision has been made. I don't think the themes available or chosen by default by a DE should be a decision exclusively made by the -artwork team.. Rich / Ilmehtar >>> Marcus Moeller 09/23/11 8:11 PM >>> Hi all. As we seem to tend to use a blue wallpaper this time, I would like to propose NOT to use Sonar anymore. Imho, Sonar was never really beautiful, It's way to dark and has some strange colors. I would rather like to stick with the GNOME 3 default theme which is Adwaita. This one is compatible with nearly every design. Greets Marcus PS: I know Vincent likes Sonar a lot, but I think he could also live with Adwaita (listening to his GNOME heart :)) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] gnome-utils
by Nelson Marques 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Anyway we can have gnome-utils installed by the default GNOME pattern? Why ? * Default GNOME keybinds use some apps bundled on gnome-utils (ex: F12 opens "gnome-screenshot") * More feature rich oriented for Desktop users All the best, NM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] alacarte, will not start
by LisufasGnome3 25 Sep '11

25 Sep '11

Hi Developer, I use GNOME 3 based on openSUSE 11.4, the 32-bit architecture with kernel 3.0.4 ... Nividia Grafik-Hardware. Am very happy with GNOME 3, have been using it very much and think that the developers made a good job. The work with this desktop is for me than years of "KDE-User" in places, still a little unusual, but it makes more and more fun. "thumbs Up" ;-) However, when I recently wanted to replace some icons, I found the "alacarte" does not want to start. Neither on the start icon, or from the console/terminal! However, output in the terminal the following message: Start Code:↓ ~> alacarte Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 36, in <module> main() File "/usr/bin/alacarte", line 32, in main app = MainWindow(datadir, version, sys.argv) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 48, in __init__ self.editor = MenuEditor() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 36, in __init__ self.__loadMenus() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Alacarte/MenuEditor.py", line 56, in __loadMenus self.settings.path = os.path.join(util.getUserMenuPath(), self.settings.tree.get_menu_file()) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 65, in join if b.startswith('/'): AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith' → End Code! In the Web to find tips on how to remove directories:↓ → "./local/share/application", or this → "Re-Install" alacarte-package, or this → "./config/menus" Resulted in empty and nothing changed. Any other ideas?

[opensuse-gnome] Fwd: [opensuse-artwork] Sonor
by Nelson Marques 23 Sep '11

-1 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nelson Marques <nmo.marques(a)gmail.com> Date: 2011/9/23 Subject: Re: [opensuse-artwork] Sonor To: Marcus Moeller <marcus.moeller(a)gmx.ch> Cc: opensuse-artwork(a)opensuse.org I'm not the one to speak on behalf of the openSUSE GNOME, but this was discussed previously on a GNOME Team meeting, and we considered the option of changing default branding as long as the maintainer would keep maintaining the package (due to potential G3 changes). I'm not sure if people are aware, but 'Half-Left' has been working closely with us to provide a full Sonar theme (GNOME Shell and GTK3). Most people I've seen are thrilled with this, and it's a new life in the GNOME channel. Previously Vincent has requested for someone to port Sonar and use it... Now that's it's done people want to bail out ? I trully don't understand this... This shouldn't be decided on ARTWORK, but instead with the GNOME Team, this is not the right channel to override decisions and thoughts from the GNOME team people. my 2 cents, "From times to times the tree of freedom must be refreshed with the blood of tyrants and patriots" - Thomas Jefferson 2011/9/23 Marcus Moeller <marcus.moeller(a)gmx.ch>: > Hi all. > > As we seem to tend to use a blue wallpaper this time, I would like to > propose NOT to use Sonar anymore. > > Imho, Sonar was never really beautiful, It's way to dark and has some > strange colors. > > I would rather like to stick with the GNOME 3 default theme which is > Adwaita.
