[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 3.8 Upgrade: WebDAV GVFS has issues

by Adam Tauno Williams

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

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

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 3.9.3 for Factory?

by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a. Dimstar

Hi all, As you're all aware, the plan for openSUSE 13.1 is to include GNOME 3.10 (12.3 was shipped with GNOME 3.6, with 3.8 as 'addon repo'). Now, of course, 3.10 is not going to be released before September... but we have GNOME 3.9.3 ready in GNOME:Factory and I for one run this on my machine with limited issues. Are you all ready and willing to get the new 3.9.x dumped upon you? Due to the early dev state of it, there are surely some things here and there that still need fixing, but the soon we can get 'users' on the platform, the better the chances to get some issues solved here and there. So the short question is really: Shall we submit GNOME 3.9.x to Factory? If we do this now, then I'd say we have a perfect chance that users coming to oSC13 and running Factory have a chance to have this usable (or not :) ). There is currently only 'one blocker' on my radar: gnome-control-center segfaults on startup (due to one of our own patches).

[opensuse-gnome] Internet?

by RCB

I wanted to install your installation, I really did. Something besides Ubuntu! But I can't. There's no Internet!! A serious distro would have that enabled with no problem for the user. Ubuntu was no problem wired or wireless. -Pete -- RCB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] How to change locale on Gnome 3.8

by Efstathios Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr)

Hello, A friend of mine installed Gnome 3.8 on 12.3. He told me that the default keys of changing layout is Super and Space. Can you tell me how he can change them to Alt+Shift? I didn't find anything on the web about it. 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] Distro upgrade to Tumbleweed breaks Gnome

by Terje J. Hanssen

I had a working tumbleweed with KDM and KDE. Tried also to login to a Gnome session from KDM which returned only the KDM login menu back again. Therefore I decided to make a new, plain 12.3 installation from scratch with only the Gnome desktop installed. Gnome 3.6 login worked ok from the GDM menu after that. Then ran 'zypper dup' which upgraded 12.3 to the latest level. Gnome 3.6 login still worked ok after that. Disabled the 12.3 repositories and added the following five for tumbleweed distro upgrade: 1. openSUSE Current OSS http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-current/repo/oss/ 2. openSUSE_Current_non-OSS http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-current/repo/non-oss/ 3. openSUSE Current updates http://download.opensuse.org/update/openSUSE-current/ 4. openSUSE-Current-non-oss-current http://download.opensuse.org/update/openSUSE-non-oss-current/ 5. Tumbleweed http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed/standard/ Then ran 'zypper dup' which upgraded 306 packages to tumbleweed, possibly from Gnome 3.6 to 3.8 included. After this upgrade, neither normal mode nor Advanced (recovery) mode boot up to the GDM login menu, but stop with a black console after the last message "Reached target Graphical Interface" or after "Started LSB x Display Manager". Similar experiences and possibly solutions? Thanks, Terje J.

[opensuse-gnome] Upgrade path

by Michael Hill

So a 'zypper up' a couple of days ago resulted in a GNOME Shell fail whale yesterday. A number of packages were being held back so I responded with a 'zypper dup' which returned me to GNOME Shell 3.6.3 (still with a fail whale). I tried to reinstall gnome-shell 3.9.2 but get libmozjs 17 as a missing dependency. I looked at my configured repositories and tried disabling GNOME:Backports:Factory which has been there since September, leaving me with... GNOME:Factory Factory OSS Factory Non-OSS Is there a way to fix this? I have a docs hackfest starting next weekend and would really like to be using my primary desktop, but right now I can only run YaST in a console.

[opensuse-gnome] Discontinuing some old GNOME:* projects in OBS

by Vincent Untz

Hi, I was looking at https://build.opensuse.org/project/subprojects?project=GNOME and realized we have many many subprojects, with many of them being really old. I've started marking as DISCONTINUED (in the description) some of these projects: - GNOME:STABLE:2.x - GNOME:STABLE:{3.0,3.2,3.4} - GNOME:Backports:2.x - GNOME:Community (superseded with GNOME:Apps, really) At the same time, I'm removing all maintainers and only leaving the gnome-maintainers group (to avoid people changing packages in these projects, but still have a group who can jump in if really needed) and disabling build on Factory when it was still there. I'm planning to do the same for the following projects which have not been active in a long time, so please shout fast (within a week) if you don't want this: - GNOME:Apps:F-Spot - GNOME:Apps:F-Spot:Unstable - GNOME:Apps:Tasque - GNOME:Apps:Tomboy - GNOME:Apps:Tomboy:Unstable - GNOME:Ayatana:11.4 - GNOME:Ayatana:deprecated - GNOME:Evolution and GNOME:Evolution:* - GNOME:GNOME1 Note that I'm not removing any package, nor dropping any repository. So all of this should be revertable.

[opensuse-gnome] Bugs in Gnome 3.8 not OpenSuse specific

by Valerio Mariani

Dear All, sorry for taking so long to show up again. I promised I would work on some of the bugs I had in Gnome 3.8, namely the following two: - Gnome shell crashing when changing tty (for example when switching users) - Gnome not respecting the settings which tells it to ask the user whan to do when inserting a media object (a blank cd-rom, for example) I had very little time to look at them due to some work duties. However, I conducted an interesting experiment. I asked to friends, one using Arch Linux, and the other Manjaro Linux (an Arch derivative) to reproduce the bugs. And they could do it. So it would seem that the bugs are not OpenSuse specific, but Gnome-specific. This confirm, if necessary, the good job that the OpenSuse gnome developers are doing: the bugs were not introduced by them. Since these bugs are for me deal-breakers (especially the user switching one), I will temporarily move away from gnome (maybe to Cinnamon or KDE), and come back for Gnome 3.10 to see if they have been fixed. Both bugs have been reported on various forums, also of other distributions. Thanks for the help, and see you soon Valerio -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org
