[opensuse-gnome] Heads up for GNOME:Factory users
by Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger 22 Aug '14

22 Aug '14

Hi geekos, Just a quick heads up! GNOME is getting closer to 3.14 release. By now, we have the (full?) GNOME 3.13.90 stack ready in GNOME:Next. After some fun bugs (<super> status was inverted) this is back in good shape. As announced earlier, we are still planning on merging this all into openSUSE:Factory as soon as 3.14.0 hits the shelves. For this to be realistic, we have to get some preliminary staging runs and openQA runs on Factory... And before that, we throw it at users of GNOME:Factory... which is, why you get this mail: I just submitted all packages from GNOME:Next to their respective 'homes' (mostly GNOME:Factory - some GNOME:Apps) and Bjorn is doing a fabulous job reviewing my work (send him an aspiring and some alcoholic beverages; he's in desperate need). Once this is all done as well, the packages will be checked in and rebuilt in GNOME:Factory - so far, all without risking your install: the repository does not publish at this moment. We do want to see a good build status first. Next steps? Submits towards openSUSE:Factory (without accepting checkins; we purely want the staging and openQA runs), followed by the updates to GNOME 3.13.91 (~Sept 3), GNOME 3.13.92 (Sept 17) and GNOME 3.14.0 (Sept 24). At that point, we should have sufficient Staging runs and openQA coverage to 'simply move this forward to openSUSE:Factory. Tight schedule, but we'll make sure to get there as painfree as possible.

[opensuse-gnome] Re: 13.2 freeze
by Dominique Leuenberger 08 Aug '14

08 Aug '14

Hi Stephan, Quoting Stephan Kulow <coolo(a)suse.de>: in http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2014-08/msg00013.html > We don't have an official roadmap for 13.2, but the experimental roadmap > I made has a Beta1 release on September 18th. Taking user feedback on the -factory mailing list and release dates of upstream into account, I would like to move that 'back' by abut 2 weeks. * Factory users expect 'released' software in Factory now, no longer betas/RCs * GNOME 3.14.0 release is scheduled for Sep 22; OBS power allowing, we are generally 'on the day ready' with the packaging part as well; so on Sep 23 I can 'submit' this all towards Factory Background processes already running: * GNOME:Next is kept up-to-date (currently 3.13.4) and is being run by the GNOME Team plus, looking at the feedback we get, a couple users as well (the repo structure was announced) * starting with the GNOME 3.13.90 release, we will start forwarding this to GNOME:Factory - to get one step closer * I 'envision' (coolo, please let me know if realistic) that we 'submit' 3.13.90 to openSUSE:Factory 'for staging', but not for actual checkin; so we would get Reviews, Staging fallouts as well as openQA runs. * The same we keep up for .91 (Release 3. Sep 2014), .92 (Release Sep 15 2014 - just 'the freeze date'). * By the time 3.14.0 (Sep 24 2014) are out, we should have a good overview of fallouts due to the previous staging/openQA cycles and should thus be able to 'rather quickly submit' to Factory) But all together, I can't be 'in time for the freeze on Sep 18' The alternative is, of course, to ship openSUSE 13.2 with GNOME 3.12.x (as is in current Factory) What is everybody's view on that one? I'm sure opinions will be heard - let's collect them and see what the 'right thing to do(tm)' will look like.

[opensuse-gnome] How to avoid GNOME shutting down due to battery (allegedly) running low?
by Gerald Pfeifer 06 Aug '14

06 Aug '14

For my notebook, in addition to the main battery I've got a secondary that I uses when traveling. In generally things work fine, except when openSUSE 13.1/GNOME decide to shoot me in my foot. :-) When the secondary battery drains, and the system switches to back to the primary while I work, everything is fine. When I then suspend-to-RAM and wake up again, I get a pop up indicating that my battery (singular) is running low and the system will be shut down. /proc/acpi/battery/BAT*/* and the battery indicator in the status panel (upper right corner of the screen) both indicate that I have hours to go. Still, within seconds a shutdown of the system is initiated without me having any change to stop. Soo, two questions: - How can we get this fixed properly such that whatever is deciding my battery is running low actually uses the same source of information as the status indicator (which gets it right)? - As a stop gap measure, but generally: How can I avoid such a forced shutdown? Frankly, I'd rather let the system run out of battery than anything being force on my.

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME Repo layout change & GNOME 3.13.x
by Dominique Leuenberger a.k.a. Dimstar 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Hi GNOMEs! I know you have been patiently waiting for a sign of life from the GNOME Team.. sorry for the quietness, but we did not get lost; we are still here with you and for you. As the geeko following GNOME releases knows, GNOME 3.13.4 (the branch potentially leading to GNOME 3.14) has been released last Wednesday. As usual, the packages have been ready by that time in the Build Service, but you want to know HOW to get there, don't you? In line with the 're-targeting' of Factory, there are a few changes in repositories that you should be aware of: - openSUSE Factory => The 'Base' distribution repository we develop for - GNOME:Factory => latest STABLE GNOME Version, receiving regular updates of the stable branch, to keep GNOME in Factory 'up-to-date'; This is a small change, as it means you no longer get 'unstable' branches of GNOME in here. But it gets you (hopefully!) stable experience, which you can expect 'quickly' to land in openSUSE:Factory - GNOME:Next => This is where all the fun happens now: the NEXT release of GNOME is prepared here If it breaks, we're happy; if it works, we're even happier. In short: no 'guarantee' at any moment that this works; but I run it on my system. With this new layout, we believe to be able to better deliver upon the promise of a 'stable Factory'. Of course, this means lower speed of IN Factory, but users can rely on it. The GNOME Team runs as a bare minimum GNOME:Factory on top of that; in quiet times (between two major GNOME releases), this will be only very few differences, but we 'test' bug-fixes in here. And the crazy part of the GNOME Team is asked to run GNOME:Next (but is also asked to FIX stuff they break :) ) for you as User? Pick you poison! Carefully balance between new/stable and be prepared for an occasional break, the 'newer' you get. Users of GNOME:Next are most welcome, but encouraged to also hang around on IRC (#opensuse-gnome @ freenode) to have a short communication line to the team; and who knows? If you like it enough, you might be our new most active team member in no time! Special not when adding the repositories: GNOME:Next depends on GNOME:Factory depends on openSUSE:Factory; make sure to add THE FULL chain of repositories. Put the priorities right, so zypper dup knows what to do. All nice and good, you DO want to test GNOME 3.13.x, but for nothing on the world do you want to run Factory on your disk or mess with all those repositories? We are regularly building a live image, based on the GNOME:Next stack! there is NO QA (neither automatic nor manual) happening on it; at best, some of us might try to boot it every now and then. For the curious ones, it is available at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Medias/images/iso/?P=GNOME… Questions? Comments? As usual, simply approach us!

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 3.12 and openSUSE 13.1
by Efstathios Iosifidis 09 Jul '14

09 Jul '14

Hello, As you probably know, GNOME 3.12 is out. What is the plan for openSUSE? I guess extra repository that will add GNOME 3.12. Any instructions? Any ideas when we'll have it?

[opensuse-gnome] Managing CA Certificates for GNOME/Evolution
by Adam Tauno Williams 06 Jul '14

06 Jul '14

Evolution 3.12.3 I am attempting to import a CA into Evolution can I get "Enter the password for 'NSS User Private Key and Certificate Services", token "NSS Certificate DB". If I have ever entered that password before i do not recall it [or when]. Is there a way to find this an delete/reset it? I also cannot delete a certificate in that dialog. I was surprised that I cannot seem to manage certificates, at least CAs, within Seahorse. -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

03 Jul '14

Hey Gnome team. I don't know if any of you have read the discussion on the Xfce mailing list regarding Adwaita branding for openSUSE. I'd politely request if you can take a peek here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-artwork/2014-07/msg00001.html - and tell us what you think. (I posted a link so i don't create an unreadable quoting block). Hope you think we could pull it off.

[opensuse-gnome] Disable Printer Notifications?
by Adam Tauno Williams 01 Jul '14

01 Jul '14

How can one disable print notifications in GNOME Shell? There is no such option in "Notifications" settings. I tried "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.print-notifications active false" but it has no effect -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Using Yast with QT GUI
by Marco Calistri 15 May '14

15 May '14

Hi list, Wonder if are there any hopes to have back the QT Yast GUI working in current and next openSUSE releases, as it was before. In my humble opinion the actual Yast GUI (which if I'm not wrong is gtk based) looks uglier in comparison to QT version. Thanks.
