Smeegol status update - 21Jul10
by Andrew Wafaa 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

Aloha all you Goblin lovers. Just to give you all an update as to the current state of play considering I was hoping to have released the Smeegol edition yesterday. There are a couple of blocking issues at present: 1. There is an issue with gconf not being loaded correctly which basically means that users are being dumped into a GNOME session rather than the MeeGo session. 2. When I manually edit the gconf path to load the correct settings, the MeeGo UI isnt being loaded, but a broken GNOME session is started. This means a normal GNOME panel etc and not the MeeGo panel. We're at a bit of an impasse until these can be fixed. There are a couple of minor issues too, mutter-moblin has a dirty hack to get it to build which involves removing a .desktop file which cant find the correct icon; some application icons use the old/default tango style rather than the MeeGofied icons. As far as I can see these aren't deal breakers, but would be good to fix. Just to remind people, the repository is Meego:Netbook, and if anyone would like to try the image to see what I mean you can grab the hybrid iso from [0]. I haven't done the 1click yet as I'd like to get the blockers resolved - I will try and get it done today though to help with testing. If you use the image, you will also get a fully functioning GNOME environment too, ideally I would like to slim the image down but that can come in the future. Any and all help is appreciated (as always). Regards, Andy 0 - http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Meego:/Netbook/images/iso/ -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin.

hi there, first of all, thanks for your hard work. second of all, in the fancy release notes of opensuse 11.3, one of the biggest news is the netbook meego desktop, but i seem to fail to reach it. i downloaded the .iso provided in some other mails here, but did not work for me(core 2 duo, 1gb ram) -> only the GNOME appeared. after that, i tried to search for the Meego pattern, but found none. so please tell me, if i have the working installation of opensuse 11.3, how can i get the meego desktop? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-goblin+help(a)opensuse.org

Announce of MeeGo being in openSUSE 11.3
by Jean Cayron 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Taken from: http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:11.3 But that is not everything! The MeeGo project <http://meego.com/>, headed up by Intel and Nokia, develops another visually rich netbook user interface and the openSUSE Goblin team as this packaged for you in 11.3. *MeeGo on openSUSE* (Code named Smeegol) brings many additional features which include one of the best media enjoyment experiences thanks to the latest and greatest that Banshee offers, and will include the Amazon MP3 store when it is released. It also adds additional social media functionality, including Digg, Facebook, MySpace and Flickr. Isn't that misinformation? As far as I know, only Moblin is today in openSUSE 11.3 and a bit hard to install (as there is no Moblin live CD, it isn't easily possible to make an installable USB except installing a live Gnome USB and then the Moblin pattern, but with a huge amount of useless packages for Moblin... With a SD of 8 GB, it's a bit heavy!)... Won't the people download openSUSE, try to find MeeGo and then complain? There isn't even a link to a wiki page that explains how to install it. By the way, thanks to Andrew for the hard work he does (nearly alone).

MeeGo Status
by Andrew Wafaa 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

I thought it was about time that I enlightened people as to what the state of play is with my efforts of getting MeeGo 1.0 for Netbooks on openSUSE. The good news is I think I'm pretty much there :-) I believe all the essential packages are built now, although there is a *lot* of work to be done in getting the packages into Factory. The outstanding work is mostly spec file housekeeping but non the less it will be a relatively laborious task. I am currently looking at getting a hybrid iso image built so that people can install the goodness straight of the bat and have the image available pretty close to 11.3's release - this may or may not happen as fast as I would like but we'll see. For those that are interested all the packages etc live in Meego:Netbook, and the image stuff lives in the meego-live package in there. Any and all help with cleaning spec files and creating an image is most appreciated. Talking of thanks, none of this would have happened without the huge amounts of help from DimStar, darix, joeyli, glin, mchang, mlin, mmeeks and vuntz. Thank you *SO* much chaps! I will try and get a 1-Click done as a temporary solution whilst I work on an image. If people could have a look at the repo and let me know if anything is missing that would be great - don't forget you can submit anything that is missing ;-) As soon as I have anything new I'll let you know.

Moblin in openSUSE 11.3
by Andreas Jaeger 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

I've added a few lines to the Product Highlights for 11.3 about Moblin, please review and correct: http://wiki.opensuse.org/Product_highlights#Further_desktop_changes Unfortunately if I run zypper in -t pattern Moblin, it will not install the moblin branding packages and I only get a complete white screen when logging as user. What needs to be done to get the moblin UI experience?

Hmm, chromium requires nss(%_isa) - we probably need to adapt to our mozilla-nss-32bit mozilla-nss-32bit(x86-32) we currently have. Then we should be a step nearer. Trying that now in my home ...
