[opensuse-gnome] "Additional Multimedia Codecs Required" DoS attack
by Gerald Pfeifer 24 Mar '17

24 Mar '17

Hi guys, I am wondering whether any of you also get hit by the "Additional Multimedia Codecs Required" denial-of-service attack with GNOME on Tumbleweed (and what to possibly do about it)? In a nutshell, now and then, out of a sudden, without any trigger that I could see "Additional Multimedi Codecs Required" "An application is requesting additional multimedia codecs" shows up in the notification area. At a rate of two or perhaps three per second. Sometimes it goes away after a bit (in particular various attempts and arbitrary mouse clicking?), sometimes <Alt><F2> "r" <Return> helps. Debugging this I guess it might be related to the following repeating N times (in journalctl)?

(If not, might that be considered a useful addition?) Gerald -- 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:Factory will be publish-disabled
by Dominique Leuenberger / DimStar 22 Feb '17

Dear GNOMEs, It's again time: we will start integrating GNOME 3.23.90 into GNOME:Factory during the next couple days. As this is an alpha version and we do not want to break any potential users having this repo enabled, we will disable publishing again for the time being. If you have the repo enabled, you can keep doing so - nothing should break, you just won't get updates in it anymore. The next step is to submit GNOME 3.23.91 (next week) towards openSUSE:Factory and get into the Staging area (we are already actively bribing again to get Staging:G assigned). GNOME 3.23.91 will NOT be accepted into openSUSE:Factory and will NOT reach tumbleweed users; this will only serve us to finalize integration testings and potentially adjust openQA tests where needed. Shortly after, the same excercise will happen for GNOME 3.23.92 and if all goes well we should be able to deliver GNOME 3.24.0 shortly after it has been released upstream. The public release is planned for March 22nd 2017. If you want to already have a glimpse at what will come your way, there is the GNOME:Next repo which tracks unstable versions throughout their development cycle - and for the less adventurous we produce a live image out of those packages, which you can find at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Medias/images/iso/?P=G NOME_Next* Since about a week ago, there are even openQA tests running for this image (oposite to the standard Tumbleweed process, though, openQA has NO decisive influence on the release of a new iso file - it is FIRST published, THEN tested) The test overview can be found at https://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/35 Cheers, Dominique, in the name of the entire GNOME Team

[opensuse-gnome] evolution appointment notifications
by Thomas Bechtold 14 Feb '17

14 Feb '17

Hi, with latest packages from Tumbleweed I use the CalDAV backend (with htt ps://calserv.provo.novell.com ) and I can see my appointments. I also configured (Edit->preferences->Calendar & tasks-> Show a reminder for every appointment) to 1 min so I thought I'll get reminders for *every* meeting. But I get not a single reminder for any meeting. Any ideas where to look for a possible solution?

[opensuse-gnome] Fullscreen troubles on Wayland
by Michael Hofmann 09 Feb '17

09 Feb '17

Hello, I'm experiencing a strange glitch in GNOME applications like gnome-terminal or gedit, which support a title- and border-less fullscreen mode. Before I file a bug, I'd like to know if someone can reproduce the following behavior: 1.) Start gnome-terminal (or gedit) in GNOME on Wayland 2.) Press F11 to enter fullscreen mode 3.) Press F11 again to switch back to windowed mode What I'm seeing is that the application flickers and sometimes shows window decorations at the top shortly, but it stays in fullscreen mode. After pressing F11 repeatedly, the applications sometimes manages to switch back to a normal window, but always in maximized state; i.e. the original geometry is lost. This seems to happen only on Wayland. X11 works fine. I also couldn't reproduce this behavior on another distro. Could someone who is running Tumbleweed + Wayland + GNOME please try and let me know if it happens for them, too? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org
