New openSUSE Goblin image created
by Greg KH 27 Aug '09

27 Aug '09

I've created a new openSUSE Goblin image and put it up on the forgeftp.novell.com site: http://forgeftp.novell.com/moblin/raw/ I'm currently running this on my laptop, and it looks good. If anyone has any problems with it, please let me know. Also, if anyone wants me to create new images based on the state of the tree at any time, just ping me and I can do it. I don't know if it's worth doing nightly builds just yet. Hm, I need to add the M:F repo as pre-installed for zypper to make it easier for people to update running systems, I'll work on that next... thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+help(a)opensuse.org

Merge status with factory?
by Andreas Jaeger 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Hi Goblin Team, I've heard from Rudi that you have added a couple of packages from Factory but some of the changes were not merged back to factory. This makes it rather complicated to integrate with factory and deliver a Moblin UI on openSUSE since it might break other applications using the same libraries. Is there any chance to merge back your changes with factory to minimize the differences?

iso
by Peter Czanik 24 Aug '09

Hello, http://en.opensuse.org/Moblin/Build_Service describes how to create an iso. But is there an iso file to download? I mean a recent one, not this three months old: http://forgeftp.novell.com/moblin/iso/ Bye, CzP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+help(a)opensuse.org

RE: [opensuse-goblin] iso

Hi Peter, No it's not a local issue but is intentional. Remember Moblin is aimed at netbooks and there are no netbooks with optical drives. To use the .raw file you need to 'dd' it to a USB stick and then boot from that. I would recommend using the .raw file found in KIWI-oem as it it will fit on a 2GB stick, and is designed as a recovery image. Be warned though that you will have no partitioning option, and you will loose all data when you install it.

repos
by Peter Czanik 24 Aug '09

24 Aug '09

Hello, During the installation of Moblin, there were no repos added. How should I add the repos, if: - I want to install additional packages from OSS (joe, my favorite text editor) - I want to install additional packages non-oss, like flash player - want updates, so my installation is secure - I would like to stay up-to-date with moblin packages - and of course use 'zypper up' Would the following setup make sense? priority / URL 10 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Moblin:/Base/openSUSE_11.1/ 10 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Moblin:/UI/openSUSE_11.1/ 20 http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.1/ 99 http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/oss/ 99 http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/repo/non-oss/ Or I need something more special? Ooops, flash seems to work, but only when starting Firefox from Applications, not when using "Internet".

Moblin, Goblin & openSUSE
by Michael Loeffler 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

Moin all, I'd like to ask you guys if, what and how we should provide Moblin to openSUSE users? We see Moblin gets high attention and with Goblin Andrew already based a version of Moblin on openSUSE and it is appreciated by the users. I heard the request to add Moblin to our major distribution (maybe considered for openSUSE 11.3) and offer it with our "desktop selection" page. So what would such an Moblin desktop add in space to the DVD? (as the DVD is already pretty crowded) Others are asking for a seperate Moblin image for each stable openSUSE release. So please let us know your opinion if and how to integrate Moblin with openSUSE?

Intel GMA500 (Poulsbo) Drivers
by Alessandro Sturniolo 17 Aug '09

Starting from here http://www.happyassassin.net/2009/08/10/intel-gma500-poulsbo-on-fedora-11-r… and here https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mobile/+archive/ppa/+index?field.name_fi… last week-end I was able to get a working driver with 3D acceleration for openSuSE 11.1. Compiz works very well. KDE4 effects instead, fail to starts. Now, using the spec file from the src.rpm package founded here http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/algraf:/Wind_U115/openSUSE_… I still trying to obtain a working RPM with a PSB driver for openSuSE. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+help(a)opensuse.org

theming questions
by Jakub Steiner 13 Aug '09

13 Aug '09

Howdy! I started working on some theming fixes but have a couple of questions on how to get them incorporated into our builds. First an overview of what I'm working on: icons ===== I'm filling the gaps in the icon theme. These changes go mostly directly upstream to git.opensuse.org. gtk+ ==== The gtk theme has a number of issues I kinda-sorta-almost worked around. * Menus broken in OOo and Firefox. The menubar items aren't matched and are almost invisible as both the background and foreground are light. As I'm not aware of a way to special-case in those two applications I worked around the issue by making the menus also dark so that the foreground color of the menuitem is light and thus applied on the menubar as well. Both of these apps still look ugly wrt hover/PRELIGHT state of the toolbar buttons. * Selection/tint color is SUSE-ish green instead of blue. * There was a HUGE contrast between the toolbar/menus and regular app widgets. These is no contrast between editable widgets and regular backgrounds. Made the main bg color darker (#e2e2e2). This also makes the tabs look less odd as the gradient continues onto the flat surface below. * Entry widgets were raised like buttons. It felt weird. Not sure if the engine allows an inset style applied so I've at least flattened the entries for now. Cursor Theme ============ I would kinda suggest to go with DMZ AA as it allows to have the cursor scaled up a bit. Might be handy for the tiny netbook screens. Style-wise it's very close to the netbook theme. I'll see about replacing the wait cursors to use the new moblin spinner. WM Theme ======== * Using some colors from gtk rather than having them hardcoded. * Mimic the close button from anjal/web browser behavior. Wallpapers ========== * Apart form the stripy one I have 3 more abstract wallpapers for consideration as a default. My question is how to best get all these changes into our builds? At the moment I only have a local git repo, but I wonder if we have a special place for suse specific moblin stuff? cheers -- Jakub Steiner <jimmac(a)novell.com> Novell, Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+help(a)opensuse.org
