[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] need help : quick question : SLES 12 VM on Microsoft Azure - Gnome + xrdp ?
by Hermann Daeubler 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

Hi, first - sorry for being a total Linux novice. I have to run some tests with SLES on a Microsoft Azure VM. Being a Microsoftie I need some GUI. So I came across Gnome. Here is my problem : 1. Looking around on the Internet I was able to find a way to install Gnome and xrdp on SLES 11 SP3 via zypper in a putty window 2. Looking around on the Internet I couldn't figure out how to do the same easy thing with SLES 12 - which is also available on Azure. With SLES 11SP3 after installation I could use the "Connect" button in my Azure portal to connect to the VM. Then SUSE Enterprise Desktop gave me the choice to select Gnome - see screenshot below. But with SLES 12 I get a "xrdp dialog" and no Gnome selection. Can you tell me if there if there is a simple way to make my xrdp-Gnome login work with SLES 12 like I did it with SLES 11SP3 ? 3. I installed Gnome with this command in a putty window : zypper install -t pattern x11 gnome and xrdp like this : zypper in xrdp That's all what was necessary with SLES 11SP3. Then it just worked. Thanks for your help Kind Regards Hermann -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Call for testing: planned maintenance update for GNOME on 13.2
by Atri Bhattacharya 29 Nov '14

29 Nov '14

Hi! We plan to push a maintenance update for GNOME 3.14.2 (and other updates related to the Gnome stack) [1]. In preparation for this, we have a repository ready for testing. It would be great if this got widely tested, because no one likes an update breaking things. Please add the test repository to your system: ------------------------------------------------------------ sudo zypper ar -f \ obs://home:/Zaitor:/boo906687/standard/ gnome-test-repo ------------------------------------------------------------ and then upgrade your installed packages from this test repo: ------------------------------------------------------------ sudo zypper dup --from gnome-test-repo ------------------------------------------------------------ Please let us know if you find issues with the update itself or if something breaks thereafter. *Please note that this is a TESTING repo only and all the usual disclaimers apply; do not use it on a system you cannot afford to break ;)* Thanks a lot and best wishes.

[opensuse-gnome] Achieving a uniform look in gnome - OpenSUSE tumbleweed
by Mike Johnston 24 Nov '14

24 Nov '14

Hi Everyone This is my first post to the mailing list so hopefully I'm doing this correctly. I've got an issue whereby I am unable to figure out how to achieve a uniform look and feel for all apps with Gnome on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Specifically, I am 100% up to date as of a few minutes ago (zypper dup) and when I apply the global dark theme using the gnome-tweak-tool app, lots of apps such as Yast and Firefox seem to be unaffected by the change. Furthermore, if I try to install a GTK3 theme, Yast and other apps (presumably written in gtk2) will not take this theme. I'm wondering what if anything I can do to achieve a cohesive uniform look and feel to all apps? Are there specific themes that I can install (aside from numix) that can make this happen? Recommendations would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[opensuse-gnome] Right-Click Mouse control is too quick
by Marco Calistri 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

List-users, Both on 13.1 and now with 13.2 (on particular with Gnome DE) the behaviour of right-click on Mouse is the same: the options are appearing too fastly and is hard to select whatsoever option. I wonder if there are any settings available by regular menus, or even by hidden configuration, which allow to delay the mouse right-click response on Gnome.

[opensuse-gnome] Totem no audio or segfault with AVI.
by Roger Luedecke 16 Nov '14

16 Nov '14

Trying to play an .avi file I could not see the video and hear only the audio. After some fiddling around with trying to make it happy from Packman I gave up and installed my Fluendo Codec Pack. Now .avi thumbnails are visible in Totem and Nautilus, however attepting to play the video in Totem causes segfault. Also space-bar preview thing seems to crash too. -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Project Member and Advocate since 2011 http://www.opensuseadventures.blogspot.com -- 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 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] User feedback concerning openSUSE 13.2 with GNOME
by Roger Luedecke 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Greetings! I've been monitoring Google+ and other social networks with an eye out for GNOME 3.14 complaints related to 13.2. Frankly, there are very very few. +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= Most common complaint (which seems to affect KDE as well, and maybe worse) is concerning font rendering. I don't know what the problem is since so far as I know I'm not experiencing the problem. The Main Menu Editor (alacarte) once again does not work. I ran it terminal and saw no unusual errors and ran it with gnomesu to see if that changed the behavior. Online Accounts are very flakey to the point where on some systems the feature is fully broken. I've seen some reports floating around on the mailing list so I'll assume you are aware of the problem. People (myaelf included) are complaining about being unable to theme GDM. I assume this is due to an upstream change. I've observed some sub-optimal behavior with the new GNOME Sofware Center. First time it tried to update the system, it gave message of failure once the graphical environment was back up. With some software, it will take a very long time to show the details for it. This behavior seems to be entirely random. User Management in the GNOME Settings panel is still disfunctional. Ability to take picture with webcam to set as user picture still does not work. GNOME loving users are confused and put-off by the Qt YaST interface in GNOME by default. [As a recommendation, the default behavior for searching in the Qt interface is to not search until Enter is pressed whereas the Gtk+ interface searches with each key. Revert the behavior to the Qt style one. The searching by each key press slows the interface and seems to cause instability.] Overall, most people are thrilled with the stability and refinement. Good job. -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Project Member and Advocate since 2011 http://www.opensuseadventures.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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] Gnome 3.14 - Edit Colors
by latinovic＠openmailbox.org 09 Nov '14

09 Nov '14

Hi guys. What i need is a way to turn everything blue in 3.14 default Adwaita into green. I used to do it this way (http://worldofgnome.org/how-to-hack-gnomes-adwaita-gtk-theme/) but it doesn't work anymore as Adwaita became part of the gtk, so there's no viable .css file in the gnome-themes-standard-3.14 package from github. Any step by step procedures for hacking it? Kind regards, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Quickest route to GNOME Factory?
by Michael Hill 08 Nov '14

08 Nov '14

Hi Dominique, During a zypper update this weekend, my 21GB root partition became unfixably full. The more I delete in attempting to free space, the fuller it gets. I need to re-install. Is there a recommended installation path to GNOME Factory? Should I start with 13.2 and upgrade?
