[opensuse-xfce] How to disable default checkbox?
by Kyrill Detinov 17 May '15

17 May '15

Hello. I open an unknown file and see a dialog to choose an application. Probably, I don't want to use the same app for a next file. But the checkbox is always checked. http://susepaste.org/view/simple/82368946 How to uncheck it by default? -- WBR Kyrill

[opensuse-xfce] Pragha player
by Kyrill Detinov 28 Mar '15

28 Mar '15

Hello. The Pragha player is in Factory. I think, we should make it a default audio player in Xfce pattern. Fedora already did. http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git;a=commit;h=676271bd http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/xfce/2012-February/001019.html -- WBR Kyrill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-xfce] LXDE/XFCE themes, Aurora, nuoveXT2 and Royal Noire
by Tas Papadopoulos 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Here is a message I sent to Guido Berhoerster and his reply. I am a fan of the Windows XP Royal Noire (skunkworks) theme, and was surprised and excited to see it as the default theme in OSS 13.1 LXDE. I have given up on Gnome 3.x, as I have given up on Windows 8.x. I have found XFCE to be a suitable replacement, but with a convoluted windows, dock and theme structure. (Forgive my senility, I keep comparing everything to WinXP). Anyway, I believe Guido said the engine is Aurora and the theme is nuoveXT2. I still call it Royal Noire. Have a look at Guido's comments. Perhaps if others are interested the Royal Noire theme can have a new life in Linux/BSD's. Begin forwarded message: From: Guido Date: December 12, 2013 at 19:15:03 EST To: Tas Papadopoulos <70tas(a)live.com> Subject: Re: XFCE themes Hi, * Tas Papadopoulos <70tas(a)live.com> [2013-12-11 22:59]: Hello Guido: I noticed that you were both on the OpenSUSE LXDE and XFCE teams. I love the LXDE OpenSUSE theme in 13.1, which ;) looks like the Windows XP Royal Noire theme. Do you think there is any chance of porting that theme to XFCE? I'm using XFCE in lieu of GNOME 3x which I don't like. Perhaps you have some advise on LXDE versus XFCE? Thank you very much and wish you the best for the holidays, if you mean the GTK (toolkit) and icon theme, those do not need to be "ported" to Xfce, you can simply install the gtk2-engine-aurora and nuoveXT2-icon-theme packages and select the nuoveXT2 icons and Aurora style under "Appearance" in the Xfce Settings Manager. The problem with the Aurora engine is that it is a GTK2-only theme, newer applications using GTK3 will not be styled and get a rather ugly default look. This is the reason why we use Adwaita as the default theme, it is one of the very few theme engines supporting both GTK2 and GTK3 and thus providing a consistent look for all GTK applications. Also, please send such questions to the openSUSE Xfce mailing list (opensuse-xfce(a)opensuse.org) rather than via personal mail.

Re: [opensuse-xfce] openSuse 13.1 shutdown/restart fails

OK, that sounds like a problem with systemd or a regression in the kernel rather than Xfce. Please file a bug against Basesystem, you can get more verbose output from systemd of what is happening on shutdown/reboot like this: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Systemd#Getting_debug_from_systemd -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-xfce] openSuse 13.1 shutdown/restart fails
by John Altstatt 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

On openSuse 13.1 public released version, x86_64. XFCE4 ver 4.10 using either Shutdown or Restart button at right end of panel fails, shutdown never completes; never reboots. Pressing esc shows last completed step [OK] "Stopped Collect Read-Ahead Data". Both iceauth and xset are installed by default. Hardware: h-p DV7-4274nr laptop openSuse 12.2 operated perfectly. Am I missing something? Any ideas? John Altstatt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-xfce] Startup weirdness
by Robert Schweikert 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hi, After installing 13.1 on a netbook I am getting some startup weirdness in that lightdm is not started :( I can get to a VT Ctrl-Alt-F_ and I checked /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager, it is set to lightdm. Default run level is set to 5. systemd starts Xorg, at least according to the message in verbose boot. The symptom is that the box just sits there after the last systemd message and nothing happens. When I switch to a VT, login as root and run lightdm I get the login screen as I expect. This was a fresh install of 13.1 due to a snafu with the upgrade, that's a different story. I guess I am missing something, but what? When starting lightdm in this way there are a few other oddities: - There's no drop down menu for the "power switch" in the upper right hand corner that usually presents the "hibernate" "shutdown" option - After logging in NM applet is running but tells me NetworkManager is not running, ps -A | grep Net tells me otherwise? -> restarting the network resolves the issue. Help is as always much appreciated.

[opensuse-xfce] Packaging Midori 0.5.6: no devel package any more?
by Kyrill Detinov 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

Hello. I work on packaging Midori 0.5.6. The build system is changed to use cmake instead of waf¹. And no any devel files are installed by default except apidocs, enabled by passing the "-DUSE_APIDOCS=ON" option. So, what should I do: 1. Drop the -devel package and disable compile APIDOCS. 2. Package apidocs as a separate package (midori-devel-docs?). 3. Something else?… ¹ http://www.twotoasts.de/index.php/2013/11/two-webkittens/ -- WBR Kyrill
