[opensuse-gnome] GNOME:Factory - GNOME 3.7.91 to be published
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a. Dimstar 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hi GNOMEs! The GNOME Team is proud to have integrated GNOME 3.7.91 by now into GNOME:Factory and all (but a few) packages are built. So, we will be 'opening the gates' later this evening, re-enabling the repository to be published and possibly breaking your installation (of course we hope this won't happen.. a good part of us are already running on those packages from our GNOME:Next staging repo). There are likely a few update - questions we did not get completely correct yet: a lot of packages change name, got split/obsoleted. If possible, report them either here on the ML or in the bug tracker (best would be one by one.. but I'm dreaming :P ). Thanks a lot! May your systems be stable.

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME development for openSUSE / Repository information
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 29 Mar '13

29 Mar '13

Hi all, openSUSE 12.3 is 'almost released', Factory unfrozen and we don't want to keep fellow Factory geekos waiting too long: of course, in the last months, we were busy like bees (how busy are geekos?) and we are almost ready with GNOME 3.8 yet (well, waiting for upstream. Release date is scheduled to be March 27 2013). Until then, we will already integrate what we have by now, GNOME 3.7.91, into GNOME:Factory and hopefully also into openSUSE:Factory (hint: I already run it here based on our packages from the staging repository... other than some 'cleanup' to be done here and there, it all works smooth). What does that mean for you, as a GNOME:Factory user? Not much for now: in order to not break existing installations why the various bits and pieces flow into the various devel projects (I created like 230 SRs today, all over the place), I will disable publishing of GNOME:Factory from now until it all settles. This ensures you can keep the repo enabled without issues and nothing shall break: until the day we are confident with what we have will work.. that will be when we open the gates and swamp you with new goodies from GNOME 3.8. Interested what GNOME 3.8 will bring you? Some links for you, to read up: Feature Overview: https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointSeven/Features Release Notes: https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointSeven/ReleaseNotes (All pages are, just as GNOME 3.8, work in progress!) Hope to have you with us soon again! Dominique / DimStar -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Accessibility Regression in 12.3
by Dave Hunt 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

Hi, I find that YaST is no longer accessible, using the orca screen reader. I can log in and choose a group, for instance, Mail Server, with accessibility. The chosen group is inaccessible, however. I still have access to running apps, e. g. the top level of YaST. All of this was accessible in 12.2.

[opensuse-gnome] Problem with YaST. I get an error most of the times I install programs
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

Hello, I get this problem I guess since 12.2. Well this time I tried to install codecs using http://opensuse-community.org/codecs-gnome.ymp After i passed almost everything and was ready to press the final OK button, I got the result: http://paste.opensuse.org/93469334 I kept the yast2logs just in case someone need them. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/53534387/misc/yast2/y2logs.tgz Is this a working bug? Do I have to report it? I asked my friends to test it. Well, all of them have KDE and they told me to install yast2-qt package but it didn't solve anything. Thanks Stathis -- http://about.me/iosifidis http://eiosifidis.blogspot.gr http://blogs.gnome.org/eiosifidis Great leaders don't tell you what to do... They show you how it's done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Wireless connection
by Michael Hill 16 Mar '13

16 Mar '13

A couple of weeks ago during a zypper dup I got a partially-installed NetworkManager that disabled my network connection. I switched to manually connecting with YaST for a number of hours but switched back while I was travelling. After another zypper dup last night, NetworkManager 0.9.6.4 (GNOME Factory) won't keep the (wireless) connection, and repeatedly asks for the passphrase. Is there anything I can do to diagnose this?

[opensuse-gnome] Tumbleweed and Gnome
by Rajko 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Someone added warning to https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed about Tumbleweed being not good for Gnome users right now. I moved that warning to https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed/FAQ/2 which is on a main portal page listed as FAQ in a right column. Can anyone with right knowledge check that statement and if not correct remove it, or if it is, leave it in as long as it is correct. The ideal way would be to have it work correct and remove statement. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] On going language bug since 12.1
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello, Today I downloaded the RC2. I installed it on Virtual Box. During installation, I've chosen Greek Language [1]. By the way, there's no Next button on the screen either English or Greek. I guess this is also a bug. When the installation was finished, I rebooted the installation. It did all the procedures and when I got a full system, I had the same language problem [2]. I circle with red the words that didn't change to Greek and with blue the ones that OK. So half English half Greek. When I tried the old fashioned way, I turned the system to English, loged out and in again. Then I tried to change into Greek and I got the server thing [3]. I filed a bug about language before. Please fix it. It's very confusing to new users and it started to be disturbing to me. Thanks Stathis [1] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/53534387/12.3_bugs/install1.jpg [2] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/53534387/12.3_bugs/install2.jpg [3] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/53534387/12.3_bugs/install3.jpg -- http://about.me/iosifidis http://eiosifidis.blogspot.gr http://blogs.gnome.org/eiosifidis Great leaders don't tell you what to do...

[opensuse-gnome] Keyboard shortcuts for change locale
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

I installed RC2 using Greek during installation. As I wrote before, there was a half Greek, half English. I fixed it as follows: 1. I turned my system in English using yast. Logged out and in again. 2. I turned again my system in Greek using yast. Logged out and in again. 3. I had to add-change the system language from System Settings from User menu. Logged out and in again. Now everything was in Greek Please fix that. If it cannot be fixed like it was on 11.4, I propose to remove the option to choose language during installation and fix-write a script (like PCLinuxOS has) to choose the language after full installation. Changing language works fine on Fedora as I saw. Now, the reason of this mail is that after installation and everything was in Greek, I couldn't change the locale from English to Greek to write something on Libre Office. So I found that the Fedora guys had the same problem. They fixed that opening Gnome-Tweek-tool and choose Typing> Modifies-only input sources [1]. Not sure if this is correct way though.
