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

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?

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).
Regards,
Jean

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.
Regards,
Andy

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 ...
Best,
Jan-Simon
