[opensuse-gnome] Notes from GNOME 3 BoF at openSUSE Conference
by Vincent Untz 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Hey, So we had a BoF at the openSUSE Conference about the GNOME 3 integration. We had some nice discussion, with a few points. Here's the quick summary. Cheers, Vincent Theming: - we're waiting for the default background from the artwork team - a few people suggested using the sonar theme by default (since there's a GTK+ 3 port). First tests show that it might not be ready, though. - Garrett wrote a gnome-shell theme; could be something to investigate. Potential improvements: - Fallback mode should be improved a bit for easier migration (gnome-main-menu should really be ported, for instance) - Discussion about installing the shutdown/power-off extension by default. Current proposal is to have it on non-laptop hardware (since suspend is less likely to be used there). - Add a yast icon inside gnome-control-center to make the yast shell more discoverable. - Improve search in overview: most used apps should appear first, and having to type 3 characters is a bit annoying (no "f" to start firefox) Bugs: - Fallback mode is apparently not detected in VNC. -- 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] Sonar gtk3
by Kirill Kirillov 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Hi! I like the openSUSE Sonar gtk2 theme very much and one of the reasons why I dislike GNOME 3 is different look for gtk2 and gtk3 applications. Is it possible to make Sonar gtk3 theme [1] the default one for openSUSE 12.1 to make transition from GNOME 2 to GNOME 3 more smooth?

[opensuse-gnome] Order bug in gnome-system-monitor
by Christian Wansart 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Hi, I was testing GNOME 3 and perhaps I found a bug in the gnome-system-monitor. When I want to order the a column ascending or descending it will be ordered in the wrong direction. With the caret it should be ordered ascending and with the downward arrow it should be ordered descending, shouldn't it? Take a look in my attachment. What do you think? Regards, Christian

And it looks like brasero in factory requires it.. welp looks like there's a ton of good reasons not to get rid of tracker, I'm going to learn to live with it :) Richard / Ilmehtar >>> Pavol Rusnak 09/19/11 11:04 AM >>> On 09/19/2011 11:58 AM, Vincent Untz wrote: > Actually, GNOME is moving towards using more of tracker :-) There's > gnome-documents (which is only in my branch), which is what GNOME will > push hard to help people find their documents.

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME fallback mode - how to debug?
by Andreas Jaeger 18 Sep '11

18 Sep '11

I updated my laptop to current factory and started GNOME - and only got a box telling me that the default does not work and fallback mode was selected. I've been running compiz on the machine, so why is now fallback mode selected? Any ideas or URLs on how to debug this?

[opensuse-gnome] Quick status update
by Vincent Untz 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Hi all, Here's a very brief update of how things are :-) - GNOME 3.1.91 is in GNOME:Factory (except for gnome-user-docs, but that's a detail; and upstream tarballs that are late) - a lot of build issues that were in G:F/G:A are solved; but we still have a few of them in G:A (help welcome!). They're mostly related to missing libraries when linking. - I'm pushing G:A and G:F to Factory right now. The only things I'm not pushing are gdm and gnome-shell (as well as mutter) as I know of at least one blocker in gdm, and gnome-shell requires the new gdm (and might have issues too, according to a bug report and some comments on irc). I've decided to push now for several reasons: a) we've accumulated 2-3 weeks of changes, so it's time to push b) if we don't push now, it will be after the conference, which is really late c) I would have preferred to fix gdm & gnome-shell first, but I'm short in time before the conference, and I've been debugging this for too long already :/ This means we will have most of 3.1.91 in Factory soon, hopefully, and this should mostly work fine.

[opensuse-gnome] Banshee & Banshee Community Extensions
by Nelson Marques 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

Hi all, Banshee has it's development project now in GNOME:Apps, and 'coolo' has accepted 'banshee-community-extensions' in GNOME:Apps as well, which is awesome since now we can have both apps on GNOME:Apps and I will link them to Banshee:Unstable (which will become a costumer from GNOME:Apps/banshee). There will be a few more changes, but it will happen in the future once the next stable release is released.

[opensuse-gnome] Live/dvd software pattern
by Bjørn Lie 13 Sep '11

13 Sep '11

I just booted the M5 livecd of gnome, and to my suprise the full compiz stack including simple-ccsm was included? Should that be removed from that packagelist? Since it's not usable in Gnome now? I'm not advocating dropping them completely, but removing them from the default app list in the gnome patterns. //Bjørn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Warning: gdm broken in GNOME:Factory
by Vincent Untz 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Hi, The gdm update to 3.1.90 isn't perfect yet, so if you update gdm from GNOME:Factory, be aware that you will likely not be able to connect ;-) Fix coming soon.
