[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 3.6 entered GNOME:Factory
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 06 Oct '12

06 Oct '12

Hi GNOMEs! I know you are all eagerly awaiting it! * AND IT JUST HAPPENED * GNOME 3.6 (at least what has been released so far; official release date is tomorrow, so there can still some more packages appear) has been submitted and accepted into GNOME:Factory. * FACTORY USERS * GNOME:Factory, as you all know, is the staging project where all packages are being tested against each other and, once deemed working, be forwarded to openSUSE:Factory, to be included into our next release of openSUSE. GNOME:Factory is NOT compatible to 12.2 (due to dependencies). * BUT * Don't be afraid just yet: All this great work has also been submitted and accepted into a new repository GNOME:STABLE:3.6 (which, at this moment, is not published; we will be doing at least a few integration tests on 12.2 before crashing _your_ machine(s).) If all goes well and may the OBS be with us (giving us the build power we need), this should not take too long. Once all this is ready, we'll let you know here again! * BUT BUT * _YOU_ are really brave and don't mind crashing your machine... should this happen, you are a) capable of extracting log files (even if NO gui comes up b) formulate readable bug reports c) FIX the bug :) then there is even a repository for 12.2 published (actually, it is GNOME:STABLE:3.6 published in a different namespace). So if you feel adventerous and comply to at least 2 of the 3 points above (:)), then you are allowed to use the repository home:dimstar:broken on your machine and get up to GNOME 3.6 (don't do this just now: the repository is in a full rebuild due to the checkins!) * WHAT MORE * What? you want even MORE??? Well, formulate your needs, and we'll find a way to make you work on them :) After all, this is a community effort! We need YOU to make this all possible. Hope you're having a lot of fun! The openSUSE GNOME Team * THE END * -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] 3.6 shell hangs on shutdown
by Michael Catanzaro 30 Sep '12

30 Sep '12

After enabling the GNOME 3.6 repository (thanks for that!), the shell hangs for about a minute after pressing shutdown/restart before my computer actually begins to shutdown. This also occurs on a fresh install of 12.2 after enabling the 3.6 repository. In contrast, with GNOME 3.4 the computer begins to shut down almost immediately after pressing shutdown/restart. This delay also occurs when logging out. I use an HP Envy 14. I've also noticed that the shell also takes much longer to load when booting, not sure if that could be related. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Any ideas what might be up? Michael Catanzaro

Please do not reply privately to me on a general question posted to the mailing list. How can others learn if it is replied privately? Also, I don't know what you are referring to with "just lock it." How does locking change the font preferences for the idle screen?

[opensuse-gnome] Idle Screen Font configuration
by Bryen M Yunashko 29 Sep '12

29 Sep '12

Maybe this existed all along, but I just now noticed with 3.6, there's an idle screen that displays your system clock. It displays in a white font. Is there a way I can configure the fonts (color, type, etc.) in this screen? For reference, I am referring to this screen: http://paste.opensuse.org/82424221 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] 3.6 Missing Themes?
by Bryen M Yunashko 29 Sep '12

29 Sep '12

So I set up 12.2 with GNOME in a Virtualbox VM. I had immediately chosen HighContrastInverse as the GTK+ theme via gnome-tweak-tool. Then I went ahead and updated to 3.6. After the 3.6 update, I noticed I no longer had high-contrast inverse functionality. It was back to bright white environment. Going into g-t-t, I searched and there's quite a few themes missing that were in there previously, including the high contrast inverse theme. Now, it only provides Adwaita and High Contrast. This effectively makes 3.6 unusable for me. Is this an upstream decision to eliminate the themes, or a packaging issue on our end? Should such themes have been deleted in the upgrade process if they were already in our system? If it was simply an oversight, we should try to put them back in soon because those with visual impairments even worst than mine will suddenly be lost and unable to navigate around once their beloved inverse theme is taken out from under them.

[opensuse-gnome] 3.6 Login Screen behavior
by Bryen M Yunashko 29 Sep '12

29 Sep '12

In previous GNOME versions, when the login screen came up, the first name in the list (or the only name in the list) would already be highlighted and I simply would hit the enter-key and type in my password and enter-key again. Now, with 3.6, first name is not highlighted and I have to take an additional step by hitting the tab key to get the first name and then hit the enter-key. 3.6 bug or openSUSE feature? :-) 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] Really tiny/thin borders
by Adam Tauno Williams 28 Sep '12

28 Sep '12

With openSUSE 12.2 and GNOME 3.4 and now GNOME 3.6 the edges / corners of windows and the draggable panes of windows have *REALLY* thin borders. It is difficult to resize windows or a pane in a window. Is there some mechanism to tweak or adjust this? I assume through themes, but that is really the only thing that needs to change. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Mono Maintainership?
by Andreas Jaeger 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Looking at the Mono website, I see "Mono 2.10.8 was released on December 19, 2011". Looking at our packages in Factory, we're still at Mono 2.10.6. Is there anybody taking care of Mono in openSUSE? Or how should we proceed with Mono? I'm sending this first to the GNOME list since AFAIK most GNOME applications are part of GNOME, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger aj(a){suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer,HRB16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org
