[opensuse-gnome] adjusting ctrl-w setting
by Olaf Hering 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

Many months (or years?) ago someone made GNOME3 usable by providing a knob to control the result of ctrl-w. Instead of closing the window it wipes the just typed word, as expected. I think it used to be in control-center,details. Now with SLE12 I can not find this knob anymore. What happend to it, how do I get a usable ctrl-w?

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME laptop power-management is practically missing
by Marco Calistri 16 Nov '14

16 Nov '14

Hello, Despite recent openSUSE 13.1 kernel update, GNOME power management in my Lenovo G470 is still pretty broken. Somebody suggested this could be due the BIOS or firmware installed in my laptop, but power-management is perfectly working whenever I boot into WIN7. GNOME Power-Management still lacks to: a) Notify the user when battery level is critical b) Suspend on RAM automatically at reached battery threshold c) Hibernate automatically at reached battery threshold Currently GNOME Power-Management simply shut-down the laptop when battery reaches critical threshold that's a very annoying and irritating behaviour.

[opensuse-gnome] Timezone settings -- still not solved?
by Gerald Pfeifer 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

I just got reminded that even with the lastest Factory bits, soon to be openSUSE 13.2, I need to enter my root credentials to change the timezone. This is very disappointing and does not serve us nor our users well. I understand this has been addressed for SUSE Linux Enterprise 12. Wyh is openSUSE more paranoid by default than the Enterprise line??

[opensuse-gnome] Issues with gftp
by Andrew Wafaa 26 Oct '14

26 Oct '14

Aloha, I realise I may be an odd ball here, but I actually like using gftp for file transfers. Nautilus just doesn't seem to be as capable. Problem is, on Factory, gftp is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike. I say this because when I start it up, all looks good, but as soon as I hit connect - BAM! The damned thing ends up closing itself. When run from a terminal, the following output is received: :~> gftp (gftp-gtk:18839): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gftp-gtk:18839): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gftp-gtk:18839): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gftp-gtk:18839): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gftp-gtk:18839): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gftp-gtk:18839): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gftp-gtk:18839): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gftp-gtk:18839): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gftp-gtk:18839): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (gftp-gtk:18839): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed Attempt to unlock mutex that was not locked Aborted Any tips on how to fix this?

[opensuse-gnome] Problem with some packages in Factory
by Manuel Trujillo (TooManySecrets) 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Hi! We are having some issues with gnome packages in Factory. If we test to install "hotssh", the systems block because it needs libvte2 but has no supplies for this. So if you install the libvte2 manually and then hotssh, its install without any problem. Also I forgot to mention that if you try to download the libvte2 64 bit package version, you will have a nice 404. Thank you very much and excuse me my bad english. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have a nice day ;-) TooManySecrets FreeBSD Since 4.1 GNU/Linux Since 1993. openSUSE Member since 2008 http://twitter.com/toomanysecrets http://blog.toomany.net --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 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 observations on Gnome 3.14 in Factory
by Gerald Pfeifer 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Now that I switched towards using Factory for a fair amount of my time again (How's that for being brave? ;-) I made a couple of observations around the recent GNOME 3.14 update which I figured I'd share to hopefully make the experience a bit smoother for others and hopefully some improvements for openSUSE 13.2. The good: - Things generally work just fine! Performance is fine, the UI fresh, some improvements such as sorting timezones in the Clocks applet (thanks Michael Gorse!), nm-connection-editor no longer referring to FirewallD (thanks Dominique),... have been integrated. And, do not let this mail mislead you, please: I am not meaning to rant, and generally a happy user. Where things work, it's kind of hard to write a lot about it, though. That is why this section is the shortest of the three. ;-) The bad: - As in Gnome 3.12 already, every time I connect to a new wireless network, I have to enter the root password. This is a regression from openSUSE 13.1. Do you want a formal bug report? - Configuration loss: Going from 3.12 to 3.14 lost a number of settings, including the fact that I had "minimize window" and "maximize window" buttons configured via TweakTool. Setting these in TweakTool again under "Windows" fixed it for me, but why did this get lost? Do you want a formal bug report? - Configuration loss: Similarly, gnome-terminal which had been showing black text on white background forever, including the update from openSUSE 13.1 to Gnome 3.12, suddenly appear yellow on black or something after upgrading to Gnome 3.14. What happened there? Do you want a formal bug report? - Most of my Gnome Shell extensions stopped working, including "Media player indicator" and "Openweather". Trying to update these via TweakTool resulted in the button turning "Error". That makes three issues here: 1. Gnome version update breaks extensions. 2. "Update" of Extensions in TweakTool does not work. 3. No useful error messages or other feedback for the above. (Removing the two extensions and then reinstalling them by pointing Firefox to extensions.gnome.org worked just fine.) The ugly: - Being behind a slow and unreliable network for some days, I had to udate the system piecemeal and ran into missing dependencies on a package / package base ( http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=899776 "gnome-clocks lacks dependencies: undefined symbol: gtk_application_get_menu_by_id" ). Luckily it was only this, or I might not have had a running desktop environment for a day or two. - Design: The upstream Gnome designers still force title bars that consume 10% of my screen height (yes, I'm exaggerating, only midly though) upon me. Is there a better way to fix that than hacking title_vertical_pad in /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml after every update?

[opensuse-gnome] Verify GNOME 13.2 bugs (add repository and system settings menu brakes)
by Efstathios Iosifidis 11 Oct '14

11 Oct '14

Hello guys, I tried 13.2 yesterday. I would like to ask you to verify 2 bugs I might had. I didn't search bugzilla for them, so please let me know if it's a known bugs. First of all, after installation, I updated the system. Then I changed the language to Greek (I want to check if we have correct translations both GNOME and openSUSE). 1. I tried to add a community repository (GNOME) and got an error. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20413076/opensuse/13.2/bugs/gnome-repo.… 2. Then I opened settings. I tried to open all options and the window broke. Only yast and gnome-tweak-tool worked fine. Here's a video. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20413076/opensuse/13.2/bugs/system-menu… Can you please verify that those are bugs, so I'll start search bugzilla? Thanks Stathis -- http://www.iosifidis.gr http://linkedin.eiosifidis.info/ Great leaders don't tell you what to do...They show you how it's done. Power corrupts.
