[opensuse-gnome] Projects for Students
by allen 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

Hi Everyone, does openSUSE have a list of projects that are needed to be completed? Not bug fixes, but small projects? I am a lecturer at a Uni and have a project subject starting soon for IT and Computer Science students. The students work in a team of up to 3 students or individually, and have to complete a major piece of software for delivery in about September. They typically have about 10 hours per week per student to spend on their project. The student follow the Unified Process methodology. The first half of the year is essentially developing requirements and prototype. The second half of the year is completing the project. Many students develop projects of their own, but it is much better to have an actual client and a project that someone else wants. They have various skills - java, python, android, c++, gaming, ... I am looking for some stand-alone projects that students could attempt. If you have something that you think may be of interest to my students, I would be pleased to discuss them privately via email abenter(a)csu.edu.au Thanks, Allen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] evince and cheese dependencies on nautilus-sendto
by Guido Berhoerster 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

evince and cheese currently recommend nautilus-sendto which requires nautilus and thereby drags in almost all of GNOME. Since both, and in particular evince, are widely useful outside of GNOME (and part of the Xfce pattern), would it be OK to replace these direct dependencies with reverse dependencies in nautilus-sendto instead like pidgin or evolution are handled? -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Should we allow Hibernation in 12.3?
by Michael Catanzaro 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi all, I see that in Factory, Alternative Status Menu is no longer installed by default. Although GNOME 3.6 finally provides "Power Off" by default, without Alternative Status Menu it is *impossible* to Hibernate (without resorting to command line). You can't press Alt to get Hibernate like you could for Power Off before - you just cannot do it. Moreover, Alternative Status Menu v3.6 no longer provides Hibernate by default. The extension still supports Hibernate perfectly fine provided it is configured to do so via gsettings, but if you install the extension from extensions.gnome.org, then it will use a private gsettings file that Dconf Editor cannot see, and you're basically out of luck unless you really know what you're doing. So this has to be an openSUSE package, rather than something installed from extensions.gnome.org. I've done the work of updating the extensions package and our default gschema overrides and filed SRs 146537 and 146538 for this. If those are accepted then anyone installing the extension with zypper or yast will get Hibernate and be fine, but I'm aware that we don't normally package extensions unless they're installed by default, so I sent this email to: 1) Explain why we should package this even if we don't install it by default. 2) Suggest that we should continue to install it by default. :-) This isn't covered by my SRs, and I don't know how to do it anyway.

[opensuse-gnome] Stability issues with WebDAV & GVFS 1.14
by Adam Tauno Williams 04 Jan '13

04 Jan '13

On my laptop which has GVFS 1.14.2 from the GS36 repo I'm having stability problems using WebDAV. With the 'stock' GVFS 1.12.3 it works without an issue. I've got a thread over on the GVFS list @ <https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gvfs-list/2013-January/msg00000.html> -- Adam Tauno Williams GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org
