[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] First findings on Gnome 3.16
by Gerald Pfeifer 13 Apr '15

13 Apr '15

Yesterday my Factory/Tumbleweed system got updates to Gnome 3.16. Things seem to work in general, though there are some areas where I still see room for improvement and/or need some help. 1. Design: The upstream Gnome designers still force title bars that consume too much of my screen height upon me. In the past I could hack the title_vertical_pad settings in /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml. Now those XML-based schemes seem gone. How can I perform such tweaking going forward? 2. Design: (Folder) icons on desktop are quite a bit larger than previous, and way too large for my taste and needs. However I failed to find a way to reducing their size again. 3. As in the past most of my Gnome Shell extensions stopped working. Unlike the Gnome 3.12 to 3.14 upgrade, updating via TweakTool actually is working now, a definite improvement. However many extensions "broke" that actually did not. That is, just hacking 3.16 into .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/*/metadata.json made them work again. (And, yes, I also reported all such cases to the upstream authors and they adjusted their extensions within hours.) This remains a design failure that I hope is going to be addressed at one point? Any help with items 1 and 2 will be appreciated.

[opensuse-gnome] Radeon R9 270
by Jon Cosby 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

I'm trying to get the proprietary drivers working for a Radeon R9 270 in openSUSE 13.2 GNOME. Both GNOME and KDE perform poorly w/the OS drivers, and the proprietary drivers worked in oS 13.1. KDM/KDE do well with these drivers, but GDM and GNOME don't even function, both giving the dubious "Oh no" dialog at the start. I'd like to get back into GNOME; KDE is kind of a strain on the eyes for a GNOME user like myself. I'm not sure where to trace this, or even what to look for. I have the official gnome-shell, 3.14.3. Is this GPU just not supported anymore? Grateful for any tips.

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME Calendar/California unavailable?
by Roger Luedecke 08 Apr '15

I wanted to check it out, especially since I'm looking at getting a new tablet to turn into a GNOME tablet for my own use and to show off at events. Will it be made available? -- 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 3.16.0 to appear in GNOME:Factory
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

Dear GNOME users, you probably heard about it or read it on the news [0]: GNOME 3.16.0 has been released ! The repository GNOME:Factory [1] has been updated and will shortly publish this to the world for the openSUSE Tumbleweed users that a) can't wait b) can't wait :) c) accept that this did not pass all openQA tests yet (but runs on the GNOME Team's machines) For all the Tumbleweed users that are on the wait to get GNOME 3.16 into the main repository: work is well underway for this and the full package set is currently in Staging "G" (which other letter would fit as well?). There are a few openQA hick-ups expected due to the vast amount of changes (GDM running in a wayland session, tty7 remaining active for GDM, the user session moving to 'the next free tty', some UI changes here and there). You're welcome to follow progress on the Factory dashboard [2], observing the letter 'G'. Should you have any questions, please raise them. Found a bug? File a bug report (preferably with a fix, but we also take it without) on https://bugzilla.opensuse.or or directly on https://bugzilla.gnome.org if it's more likely to be an upstream bug. so long, have a lot of fun!

[opensuse-gnome] 4k screencast
by Sankar P 01 Apr '15

Hi, This is probably a dumb question. Is it possible to do the gnome-shell recording in 4k (even though I do not have a 4k display) ? -- Sankar http://psankar.blogspot.in -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org
