[opensuse-gnome] GNOME Fully loaded - Studio Image
Hi, I was trying to create a openSUSE GNOME based distro with a custom software added. However, the basic templates available in SUSE Studio seem to not have a "GNOME fully loaded" option. I mean, a template that is similar to the list of applications we install by default in a standard GNOME installation from a openSUSE DVD. There was a popular "GNOME Reloaded" template, but it didnt had even OpenOffice/F-Spot installed by default. It lacks package parity with our default DVD installation. Are there any Studio projects that anyone is having already, that has all packages added, which I can just clone ? Is there any easy way (such as adding a pattern) which will give me all packages added ? Ideally we should ask the Studio team to have atleast Firefox and gedit added by default to the GNOME template. They are more important and lighter than some applications available by default (like Tomboy). May be we can discuss this in the next openSUSE meeting ? Any help is welcomed. Thanks.

It's really just a bug in the GNOME Reloaded image: it doesn't contain all the right patterns. That was mostly caused by a bug in Studio where some patterns are not visible. You can work around by instaling the packages that correspond to the patterns (like patterns-openSUSE-gnome_utilities).

Okay. I will hang around in #susestudio tommorrow and will see if it should be reported etc. and followup on it.

I searched the list of patterns available and there is no gnome_utilities pattern. Nor does the list of patterns seem to have anything that will install Firefox and gedit :( For now, I am adding them manually. So, it is not a blocker for me. But a big usability issue.

I already reported it :-)

As I said, you should install the packages that correspond to the patterns, not the patterns themselves. So instead of looking for the gnome_utilities pattern, look for the patterns-openSUSE-gnome_utilities package. That should work around the issue for now.

Btw, if you want to maintain the GNOME Reloaded image and make sure it's awesome, I'm sure we can ask the Studio people to delegate that task to us :-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

I will be taking some important decisions of my professional life on the new year and will let you know after that ;) But this sounds a very tempting and useful thing to own up.
