Screen flickering in GNOME
by Jon Cosby 02 Apr '24

02 Apr '24

My screen is flickering in Leap 15.5/GNOME. It lasts one or two seconds and doesn't seem to happen when the mouse and keyboard are active. Other than that, it seems random. Happens using both Wayland and X. I have an Intel CometLake-S GT2 graphics card and an HP Pavilion 27xw monitor. The screen resolution and refresh rate are set to the defaults: 1920, 16:9 and 60%. This has been going on for awhile, maybe since installing 15.5. I switched to the Ice WM for a few hours and the flickering stopped, so I'm sure the problem is in GNOME. Any suggestions to help me troubleshoot this? Thanks. Jon Cosby

WIFI management in GNOME
by Jon Cosby 25 Nov '22

25 Nov '22

Why has WiFi network management regressed so badly in GNOME? Specifically, it doesn't carry it anymore. Instead you're directed to YaST. That's two passwords to connect, root and the network. Management in YaST is very poor anyway, in that it doesn't remember connections. It's getting very annoying to me and to my hosts as I have to manually connect every time I return to the place I'm boarding this month. I don't want to use KDE just for this, but every other device has a simple process for connecting and only one time. Jon Cosby

Rebase some GNOME Patterns
by Milachew 28 Oct '22

28 Oct '22

I think the GNOME patterns need to be rebuilt. Primarily : - more than once I heard users complain that after installation the desktop is overloaded with games and third-party applications - when you try to remove unnecessary applications by deleting patterns, there is some confusion with them. So the GNOME patterns is also a Wayland patterns, e.g. What I suggest: - make the following patterns: * base GNOME with everything you need to run the environment itself without GNOME Core, but with a browser (for Internet access), an update viewer and package source code (which, as I understand it, is mandatory in openSUSE) * GNOME Core - respectively, all applications from the GNOME core, taken from here: https://apps.gnome.org/en/, except for Logs (because there is YaST), Photo (because there is eog), Web browser (because there is Firefox) and Video (VLC can be supplied instead). That's all and the GNOME base will be as a GNOME system role. * leave the rest as is, fixing them if the patterns above catch applications from the rest - remove the Wayland patterns by spliting it with the GNOME Base (or leave as is, but add it to Basic GNOME and rename it to gnome_wayland pattern) I think to reduce the GNOME base just as much, because GNOME Core can change its composition (except for settings and the file manager, their changes are quite rare so far) and a separate package for such changes will be easier to maintain in the future.

Screen lock missing
by Jon Cosby 08 Mar '22

08 Mar '22

I can't lock the screen in LEAP 15.3 GNOME 3.34.7 on my Asus VivoBook. The button is missing from the top bar, [super] + [L] keyboard combination is ineffective. The screen turns off when I close the lid, but it doesn't lock. In the power settings, I have blank screen after 10 minutes and suspend after 20. It dims after some time, but the screen stays on until it suspends. Again, the screen doesn't lock on suspend. Lock screen works normally in KDE. Is there a package for lock screen in GNOME? I see KDE has one. Installing LEAP, I chose GNOME desktop for the environment, and added KDE later in the software settings. It defaulted to KDM and KDE. GNOME seems normal otherwise, but maybe something was stripped in the process. I don't know what this would be. Jon Cosby

[opensuse-gnome] Date modified in Nautilus
by Jon Cosby 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

By default, Nautilus displays the weekday for more recently modified files. This can be confusing, and I have to look at the calendar to compare dates. Is there a way to change this, so Nautilus displays the calendar date for all files? I'm using oS Leap 15.1 and GNOME 3.26.

[opensuse-gnome] wayland session
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 13 Feb '20

13 Feb '20

Hi, with the Firefox 73 builds I've enabled the cairo-gtk3-wayland target. So wayland support should be enabled in Firefox if * Gtk >= 3.22 * GDK_BACKEND is set OR MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND is set Now I'm wondering how this could be integrated better into Tumbleweed and was wondering what logic I could put into the firefox start wrapper. Is there a reliable (and lightweight) way to get the information if we are running under wayland which could be used?

[opensuse-gnome] osc collab shows outdated info?
by Yi Fan Jiang 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

Hello good people, I am pretty new to the collab plugin and found something I did not fully understand. I am putting the mail here since I saw the collab plugin was heavily used by the GNOME project :-) Please let me know if this should go to the packaging list. As seen below, the version of GNOME:Next/libsigc++2 was given as 2.10.1, however the real version of the package is already 2.10.2. Is it expected? $ osc collab todo --project GNOME:Next | grep -e sig -e 'Package' Package | Parent Project | GNOME:Next | Upstream libsigc++2 | 2.10.1 | 2.10.1 | 2.10.2 libsigc++3 | 2.99.12 | 2.99.12 | 2.99.13 $ osc ls GNOME:Next/libsigc++2 _link baselibs.conf libsigc++-2.10.2.tar.xz libsigc++-std-c11.patch libsigc++2.changes libsigc++2.spec # -> GNOME:Factory libsigc++2 (latest) baselibs.conf libsigc++-2.10.2.tar.xz libsigc++-std-c11.patch libsigc++2.changes libsigc++2.spec Thank you!

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME screensaver in Leap 15.1
by Jon Cosby 01 Jun '19

01 Jun '19

What's happened to the GNOME screensaver in 3.26? It's a separate package in Tumbleweed, and I can't find it for Leap 15.1. I can't lock my computer without it. The command gnome-screensaver-command is not found. Jon Cosby -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Wireless ko out of sleep
by jimmy.pierre＠laposte.net 13 Dec '18

13 Dec '18

Greetings, I have a user for whom I installed openSUSE Leap 15 this week. He has reported that when his Acer tower unit wakes up from sleep, there is no wi-fi. Sadly, he switches off and back on. I saw the wireless card, it’s a PCI. I think that this cannot be an ongoing solution. I tried to Google.... Anybody knows of something that a layman can do to get back in business? Interesting? *Also posted in FB.* Best wishes Sent from my iPhone -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Looking for a devel project for piper
by Matthias Bach 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Hi, I have created a package [1] for piper [2], a GTK+ application to configure gaming mice. As I would like to contribute it to Factory I am now looking for a devel project I could maintain it in. Sadly, the project structure of the Gnome projects is not too obvious to me. Shall I submit it to Gnome:Apps, or would another project be a better fit for such an application? Kind Regards, Matthias [1]: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:theMarix:Staging/piper [2]: https://github.com/libratbag/piper -- Dr. Matthias Bach www.marix.org „Der einzige Weg, die Grenzen des Möglichen zu finden, ist ein klein wenig über diese hinaus in das Unmögliche vorzustoßen.“ - Arthur C.
