Passing along an FYI for anyone interested. Bryen -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Brian Cameron <brian.cameron(a)oracle.com> To: foundation-list <foundation-list(a)gnome.org>, asia-summit-list <asia-summit-list(a)gnome.org>, developing-world-list(a)gnome.org, gnome-cn-list(a)gnome.org, gugmasters-list <gugmasters-list(a)gnome.org> Subject: GNOME.Asia 2012 Official Announcement Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:38:33 -0600 Hosting GNOME.Asia 2012 June 9-15, 2012 Hong Kong It is with great pleasure that we announce that Hong Kong has been selected as the venue of our upcoming GNOME.Asia 2012. GNOME.Asia 2012 follows the release of GNOME 3.4, helping to bring new desktop paradigms that facilitate user interaction in the computing world. It will be a great place to celebrate and explore the many new features and enhancements to the groundbreaking GNOME 3 release and to help make GNOME as successful as possible. Hong Kong is well known for being one of the largest cities in Asia, with a thriving cultural scene, solid infrastructure, and robust public transportation system. Many countries have a visa-free period for travel with Hong Kong and the city has well integrated international connections. We believe that hosting the event in Hong Kong will bring the spotlight on GNOME and make an impact locally, regionally and internationally in terms of business and community building. Aside from being a business capital, Hong Kong is also well known as a tourist destination that is famous for its food, shopping and many attractions. Potential sites for the conference are the Breakthrough Youth Village Campsite and City University of Hong Kong, and reasonable rates for accommodations have been arranged. We are currently evaluating the best possible dates for the event, and should be able to announce it within the coming week. We would like to thank everyone who participated in the GNOME.Asia 2012 bidding process, especially the great work from Team GNOME Hong Kong and Team GNOME Indonesia. We look forward to working with you more in the future!

[opensuse-gnome] Timezone and printer settings too restrictive by default
by Gerald Pfeifer 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hi there, Linus vocally complained about this today at https://plus.google.com/u/0/102150693225130002912/posts/1vyfmNCYpi5 and I verified that running GNOME on openSUSE 12.1, all updates applied, I do need to provide the root password to change the timezone or add a printer. That is a major usability issue for personas "Daniela" and "significant other", which means it has real life impact on both Linus and myself. :-) Surprisingly enough, I did not find existing Bugzilla entries, but perhaps those were (incorrectly) closed earlier and I missed them therefore? In any case, I filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=749451 Adding a new printer via system-config-printer requires root password https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=749453 Changing the timezone via world clock requires root password Any chance we can get these two resolved quickly? Thanks! Gerald PS: If I may ask for one favor, let's stay focused on meeting our users' needs rather than flailing on flames (some aspects of which were just inappropriate). -- Dr. Gerald Pfeifer <gp(a)suse.com> || SUSE || Director Product Management -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Deleting auto wifi connections
by Bryen M Yunashko 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Where do I go to look at the list of known wifi networks in network manager? I accidentally clicked on a wrong wifi network some time ago and now when my sometimes-glitchy wifi router briefly goes out, network manager keeps wanting to toggle on to the next auto-connect available network. Which of course then pops up the annoying admin-password request window. There's got to be some way to delete these unused auto-connects. I used to be able to do it in previous versions of openSUSE. This one is now 12.1. Thanks, Bryen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Tutorial how to report a bug report
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hello friends, I didn't search our wiki. Can someone point me how to report a bug for 12.2? I plan to organize an event in my city (maybe for next milestones). Thanks for your help.

[opensuse-gnome] Boot failure
by Michael Hill 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

I know this isn't GNOME-specific, but I'm hoping someone can direct me to some instructions for how to recover. After the latest 12.2 upgrade, a number of boot scripts give errors (02-start.sh, 03-storage.sh, 05-kms.sh, 06-blogd.sh among others). I get: mount: mount point /dev/pts does not exist, and Trying manual resume from /dev/disk/by-id/ata-HITACHI_HTS543225A7A3B4_E2024242HBPPJD-part5 (I have a snapshot of the screen if there's someplace to upload it.) Does anyone know if the problem is related to this? http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2012-02/msg00437.html Sadly at first I thought it was a hardware issue; when I got the same result on another machine I began to suspect otherwise. :-) Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Going underground, my packages are still maintained
by Nelson Marques 24 Feb '12

24 Feb '12

Hi all, For quite sometime I've been erasing information about me in several resources, the request to terminate my membership has been heard and I'm no longer a member (a nice protest form against the anti-democratic ego driven concepts of a few). Pascal also kindly removed my blog feeds from the planet by my request. I've un-subscribed all mailing lists except: - opensuse-factory; - opensuse-gnome; All my packages/OBS repos are still going to be maintained, but a huge cleanup is going to happen soon (during the weekend). On the other hand, during the last weeks I've been aqquiring a lot of know-how on Fedora packaging and about Koji, which I now know very well. This to say that soon there will be an increase on contributions from me on Fedora side, mainly for EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux), I do have no intention on maintaining Fedora packages besides EPEL. I will also keep some time for giving some love to GNOME:Cinnamon and will later pick up my work on GNOME:Ayatana. So in other words, my demise in openSUSE is 99% complete and people won't have to read/ignore more stupid emails from me, no more nagging, no more nothing. Hopefully I'll see better days in the future... And I get to be around with Sirko :) A very warm and felt 'Thank You' to all who have helped me, mainly to Vincent, Dominique, Marcus (darix), Bjorn, Stephen and many others... -- Nelson Marques // I've stopped trying to understand sandwiches with a third piece of bread in the middle... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

Vincent, When 3.92rc hits G:Factory could you please post on the list. I would probably like to be helpful at some point when it happens. NM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

I consulted one of the GTK+ guys at the hackfest and he showed me that Alt+F4 will dispatch the offending error message by which time the system realizes Shell is running and doesn't time out.

[opensuse-gnome] NVIDIA observation
by Michael Hill 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

My old-ish ThinkPad has an nVidia (173 series) GeForce FX Go5200 card and never looked better than when I booted the Official GNOME 3 Live DVD System (so good that I soon installed it). Since I use that machine for testing, over the course of the past six months I've also installed Debian's, Fedora's and Mageia's GNOME 3 desktops which all run the nouveau driver, and all give me a multi-coloured, striped top bar and messed-up desktop fonts. Just to make sure I wasn't imagining the perfection of the original Live DVD, I re-installed it this week (and I was right, it's perfect). What did openSUSE get right ten months ago that still isn't right elsewhere? Is it safe to upgrade from GNOME 3.0? (I have GNOME Factory installed on my production laptop which has Radeon graphics, and on my production desktop which has a much newer nVidia card -- btw on the latter I don't get a GDM login screen on startup, just Console 1).
