I upgraded Gnome-3.6 to 3.8 some times ago but couldn't suppose that it could broke Bluetooth. Now I roll-backed Gnome to default openSUSE 12.3 version and Bluetooth works perfectly send/receive! Later I will check if also power-management now works as I expect with my laptop. This served me as lesson: to avoid upgrading things before the final official release be ready but also sometimes is good to experiment new things.

[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 3.8 Upgrade: WebDAV GVFS has issues
by Adam Tauno Williams 03 Nov '13

03 Nov '13

I upgraded my workstation [nVidia x86_64] and primary laptop [Intel-GPU x86_64] openSUSE 12.3 boxes to GNOME 3.8 as described @ <http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/2013/04/gnome-3-8-for-opensuse-12-3-g…> Upgrade was smooth, and both are working. On the laptop [Intel-GPU] I had to also perform the Mesa upgrade, otherwise it was hopelessly donkers (as expected from the post). zypper ar obs://home:dimstar:Mesa/standard Mesa zypper dup --from Mesa Only problem I have now is that GVFS WebDAV seems quite broken. I can view a folder in Nautilus, but attempting to right-click open some file results in an error. GVFS appears to be dropping the initial part of the path so "/dav/Projects/MyProject/Documents/myfile.txt" results in a request for "/Projects/MyProject/Documents/myfile.txt". -- 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] Widget packing issues in Wireshark
by Adam Tauno Williams 03 Nov '13

03 Nov '13

I'm not sure if this is a "GNOME" issue, it appears to be a Gtk issue, so I don't know if that counts. I'm seeing widget packing problems when using Wireshark, in dialogs some widgets are not expanding to fill the available area. Widget not packing correctly in the Follow TCP dialog <https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=819148> I found a very similar but relating to the packet detail dialog. <https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=813180> -- 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] desktop sneak peek
by Jos Poortvliet 29 Oct '13

29 Oct '13

Hey all, For the release it would be great to write a desktop sneak peek. Something that gives an idea of what's new in GNOME and KDE and XFCE etc. I can write the KDE part but I spend a lot of time last time on the GNOME one and it still wasn't very good, so I think somebody else should write that part. See https://news.opensuse.org/2013/03/06/sneak-preview-i-opensuse-12-3-for-desk… as it was last release. The idea is to not just write about what's new but try to give some 'pro' tips and tricks, that's the part people like most. So it should be done by a GNOME user, ideally one who follows upstream news a bit. Who can and wants to help with this? /J

[opensuse-gnome] features!!!
by Jos Poortvliet 21 Oct '13

21 Oct '13

Heya, Not sure who maintains what, but - there's stuff like inkscape, Rythmbox etc that's still missing in the feature guide: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Major_features I can't even BEGIN to figure out all the apps which are new and not there, any chance you guys & girls can think of what you maintain or what others maintain and add it there? If I know the version change and a link where I can get more info (eg "Rythmbox from 2.2 to 2.5, link_to_changelogs") I would already be very happy. Better is of course to have a short summary. This makes me happy: GCC 4.8 * Better error reporting: Each diagnostic emitted now includes the original source line text and a caret '^' indicating the column. * initial aarch64 support * for more changes see http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.8/changes.html LLVM 3.3 * initial aarch64 support automake 1.13.x — http://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=7467 This is not super helpful but better than nothing: GNU R 3.0 This is sad: (nothing) Please help?!?!

Hello all, On my laptop the touchpad doesn't scroll (right edge) in GNOME, but does scroll in KDE. Tested in OS 13.1 RC1 with live USB sticks. Should I file a bug?

[opensuse-gnome] desktop files extra actions support
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 05 Oct '13

05 Oct '13

Hi, I'm trying to find out what we need to get the extra actions supported in Gnome on openSUSE (also on KDE if they don't work yet but I need to check that later on ;-)) http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-late… I'm trying to make the Firefox Marketplace usable finally on openSUSE and while Firefox can already install web applications and they appear in the application list we currently don't show an option to remove them. What's missing for that is the above support since the desktop file and Firefox itself already contains the needed functionalities to remove an app. It's just not visible to the user as an option. Via Google I found https://github.com/nemec/gnome-shell-desktop-action-jump-list but haven't tried it since it apparently is not available as extensions from the Gnome site. Does anyone know if Gnome will support the extra actions at some point or know about a stable extension we could add to the openSUSE default installation?

Hello, VLC always crash whenever you select "open file or "open folder" from its window menu. If you login in KDE instead all works flawlessly. Sorry but in this moment I cannot provide more details.
