[opensuse-gnome] DROP proposal: gsynaptics
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hi all, After having debugged an issue of not being able to configure TouchPads, it became apparent that some bitrot is at fault here: gsynaptics still lies around in our repos and happens to build.. but, that does not make it any usable. The daemon is configured to only fire up in a gnome session, where this used to be 'preferred long ago', but nowadays, this functionality is provided by GNOME intrnally, and it interacts directly with syndaemon (from xf86-input-synaptics). GNOME still has code detecting the presence of gsynaptics and would move itself out of the way, but then of course anything the user does in gnome-control-center is useless; the user would have to (and need to know to) configure all the settings in gsynaptics.. which is an ugly tool and provides no additional functionality (in my view). so, if nobody comes up with a very compelling argument as to why gsynaptics should not be removed from Factory (and this, openSUSE 13.2), I will file for a delete request soon.

[opensuse-gnome] Make GNOME3 screensaver desktop aware
by Olaf Hering 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

The screen saver always wants either a mouse click+move or keyboard input to show the desktop again. Is there a way to get normal behaviour? At least in 11.4 it was possible to either just move the mouse or press CTRL or SHIFT or such keys to show the screen contents again. In control center I found no setting which would allow that again.

I upgraded Gnome-3.6 to 3.8 some times ago but couldn't suppose that it could broke Bluetooth. Now I roll-backed Gnome to default openSUSE 12.3 version and Bluetooth works perfectly send/receive! Later I will check if also power-management now works as I expect with my laptop. This served me as lesson: to avoid upgrading things before the final official release be ready but also sometimes is good to experiment new things.

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 3.8 Upgrade: WebDAV GVFS has issues
by Adam Tauno Williams 03 Nov '13

03 Nov '13

I upgraded my workstation [nVidia x86_64] and primary laptop [Intel-GPU x86_64] openSUSE 12.3 boxes to GNOME 3.8 as described @ <http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/2013/04/gnome-3-8-for-opensuse-12-3-g…> Upgrade was smooth, and both are working. On the laptop [Intel-GPU] I had to also perform the Mesa upgrade, otherwise it was hopelessly donkers (as expected from the post). zypper ar obs://home:dimstar:Mesa/standard Mesa zypper dup --from Mesa Only problem I have now is that GVFS WebDAV seems quite broken. I can view a folder in Nautilus, but attempting to right-click open some file results in an error. GVFS appears to be dropping the initial part of the path so "/dav/Projects/MyProject/Documents/myfile.txt" results in a request for "/Projects/MyProject/Documents/myfile.txt". -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> 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

[opensuse-gnome] Widget packing issues in Wireshark
by Adam Tauno Williams 03 Nov '13

03 Nov '13

I'm not sure if this is a "GNOME" issue, it appears to be a Gtk issue, so I don't know if that counts. I'm seeing widget packing problems when using Wireshark, in dialogs some widgets are not expanding to fill the available area. Widget not packing correctly in the Follow TCP dialog <https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=819148> I found a very similar but relating to the packet detail dialog. <https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=813180> -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> 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
