[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

[opensuse-gnome] VLC crash under Gnome
by Marco Calistri 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Hello, VLC always crash whenever you select "open file or "open folder" from its window menu. If you login in KDE instead all works flawlessly. Sorry but in this moment I cannot provide more details. I'm using 12.3 64bits and Gnome 3.8.4 Regards, -- Marco Calistri (amdturion) opensuse 12.3 (Dartmouth) 64 bit - Kernel 3.7.10-1.16-desktop Gnome 3.8.3 Intel® Core™ i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz × 4 - Intel® Sandybridge Mobile -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] bad interaction between gnome/gdm and systemd?
by Jim Faulkner 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

Hi all, I run a computer lab that was recently upgraded to OpenSUSE 12.3. We've found that after some period of use (many users logging in and logging out), something in the contents of /run/systemd/sessions/ causes Gnome to start crashing at login. I've filed a bug about this here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=840055 In particular, I've found that gnome/gdm stops working after untarring the contents of run-systemd-sessions.tar.gz (from Comment 4 of bug 840055) into /run/systemd/sessions/ . GDM seems to hang, and if GDM is bypassed, gnome-shell crashes back to the login screen. Likewise, if I delete the contents of /run/systemd/sessions/ , Gnome and GDM start working again. Has anyone run into this issue before? Any hints on how to resolve it? -- Jim Faulkner / james.faulkner(a)yale.edu Systems Administrator, Unix Systems, Production Services Yale University Information Technology Services (ITS) =============================================================== NOTE: Yale ITS will NEVER request passwords or other personal information via email.

[opensuse-gnome] openSUSE bug squashing hackathon
by Michal Hrusecky 05 Sep '13

05 Sep '13

Hi, at the end of September (from 27th till 29th), we are organizing openSUSE Bug Squashing hackathon in Prague SUSE offices. We are currently looking for skilled community guys who are interested in participation. There will be some budget, so for some contributors some of the travel expenses might be covered (details not decided yet). So we would like to ask, who from the Gnome team wants to come, who would vouch for him and what would be his expenses to get to Prague and back. -- Michal HRUSECKY SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xFED656F6 19000 Praha 9 mhrusecky[at]suse.cz Czech Republic http://michal.hrusecky.net http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Some changes to the patterns
by Michael Catanzaro 04 Sep '13

04 Sep '13

Hey GNOMEers, I've got some suggested changes to the applications we install by default: Proposed additions: bijiben, deja-dup Bijiben ("Notes"): The new GNOME notes app. Alternatively we could add Gnote, which is almost the same as Tomboy. Both can import Tomboy notes. DejaDup: See Atri's email [1]. This app is great. Ubuntu patches it into GNOME Control Center (we don't need to do that). Proposed to drop: alacarte, gbrainy, tomboy alacarte - GNOME 2 menu editor, no longer makes sense since GNOME has no menus. Or separators. Or categories (in GNOME 3.8). It doesn't even seem to be capable of hiding/showing apps anymore (the only feature that worked in 12.2). gbrainy - Nothing functionally wrong here, but I'd like to move to mostly GNOME 3 apps by default, and gbrainy is clearly not planning to do so. tomboy - Inferior to its fork, Gnote. Gnote has been updated for GNOME 3; Tomboy hasn't. Additionally, I really want to get rid of XTerm and "Linux 32-bit Terminal," since I suspect almost everyone uses GNOME Terminal. But these are dependencies of LightWM, which is in one of the base patterns.... [1] http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-gnome/2013-08/msg00009.html

[opensuse-gnome] Change YaST installation a bit and add a script about language setup
by Efstathios Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

Hello lizards, This might not be the right place to send this mail, but since I'm not subscribed to factory list (and I don't plan to suscribe), I would like to send here this idea. Please share it with factory or anyone else. For the past 3 releases we have language installation problem. If someone choose to install openSUSE, for example in Greek, the result will be half Greek and half English (picture: blue is in Greek and other is in English [1]). Although many people reported this bug to bugzilla [2] and [3], nothing changed. openSUSE 11.4 was the last release that worked fine (even from the very first screen by pressing F2 button). A proposal would be to change the fist screen of YaST installation, where it prompts for language. Change it to ONLY English. When everything is set, I see 2 solutions. 1. PCLinuxOS has an icon on the desktop (adlocale) that prompts you to install your language settings. I guess it's an easy script. 2. GNOME has GNOME initial setup [4]. You can also read an article about it [5]. The idea is that after the installation, you get a prompt to setup online accounts, timezone, new user account, small tour about GNOME etc. By the way, although it says that we'll see it on GNOME 3.8, I didn't see it on Milestone 4. The language installation can be done via YaST after installation (that's the solution we propose here). But it's better to be done automatically after installation. Something should be done about it since it's major issue to promote openSUSE. Marketing cannot cover end users. End users also don't read release notes. Many of my friends (that I helped to install openSUSE), they turned it to Linux Mint or Ubuntu (I guess for the simplicity they provide). Fedora and Ubuntu work fine with the language thing. Please do something about it. Thanks for reading.
