| |
| | |
| Sugar will run in a [[wikipedia:Xephyr|Xephyr]] window within your current environment. You will have full access to the Sugar features, and may even run multiple instances to simulate a local collaboration group. Later versions of Sugar require one emulator per logged in user (there can be more than one user running) '''Check this'''

| : Adjust the default window size for Sugar by editing the menu item for Sugar to<br>{{Code|/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 1200x900}}
| |
| :: to match the XO reflective screen resolution
| |
| : {{Code|/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 832x624}}
| |
| :: approximates the display proportions of the XO laptops, closely matching the toolbar, for example.
| |
| : {{Code|/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 600x500}}

| |

| :5-) Alt+Tab switches between windows;
| |
| : hot corner = upper left switches between shell and running applications
| |
| : Alt+F2 allows entering a command to launch an application.
| |
| the Shell simply always behaves so there's exactly one empty workspace.
| |
| So when you start a session you have one workspace.
| |
| As soon as you run something it goes into that workspace and
| |
| you get a second empty workspace. As soon as you put any app into that
| |
| empty workspace, a new empty workspace is created. If you remove
| |
| everything from any workspace, it will disappear, so there's still only
| |
| one empty workspace at the bottom of the list. So, there's never any
| |
| need to manually add a new workspace. Pretty neat system.
| |
| | |
| :6-) I've just installed F15 alpha in a virtualbox machine and at the first boot I
| |
| get a gnome 3 error explaining that it can't be fully initialised because 3D is
| |
| not supported.
| |
| GNOME3 is not expected to work in virtualized environments where
| |
| hardware accelerated graphics are not available.
| |
| | |
| :7-)
| |
| From http://gnome3.org/faq.html ...
| |
| The GNOME 3 desktop does require hardware accelerated graphics
| |
| in order to provide a cutting-edge experience however, and the
| |
| complete GNOME 3 experience will only be available on computers
| |
| capable of this. Do not worry though: GNOME 3 will come complete
| |
| with a fallback interface which will provide an excellent
| |
| experience in the absence of hardware acceleration, and which
| |
| incorporates many of the improvements that can be found in GNOME
| |
| 3.
| |
| -------------------------------------------
| |
| test Digest, Vol 85, Issue 60, Message: 7
| |
| It's kind of a definition issue. GNOME *Shell* requires acceleration.
| |
| But technically GNOME 3 does not; the fallback interface is still
| |
| considered to be 'GNOME 3'. So you do need acceleration to get the Shell
| |
| interface that's the 'big new thing' in GNOME 3, but still, if you don't
| |
| have acceleration and you get the fallback interface instead, what
| |
| you're running is still GNOME 3. Just GNOME 3's fallback interface.

| Message: 8
| |
| In any case, VBox with 3d accelleration enables and 128MB for video memory
| |
| is not sufficient for GShell. (VBox 4.0.4)
| |
| Message: 13
| |
| Also, on that last note, we should clarify that right now Shell doesn't
| |
| work even in virtualized environments where accelerated graphics *are*
| |
| available, e.g. VirtualBox with appropriate hardware and drivers. In
| |
| theory it should be possible to make this work, but in practice it
| |
| currently doesn't.
| |
| So there's two angles we can approach this from; make Shell run with
| |
| software GL, or fix up Shell to work with virtualized graphics
| |
| acceleration passthrough. But it's not at all guaranteed that we'll
| |
| manage either in time for f15.

| :8-)test Digest, Vol 85, Issue 78
| |
| Unable to log in after update:
| |
| '''yum downgrade rsyslog fixed it'''
| |
| | |
| The minimum memory required is 1GB, due to anaconda changes.
| |
| When you see "populate_rootfs" in the panic, it's caused by that.
| |
| Message: 16
| |
| don't know whether modifying services is reasonable, but what is not
| |
| reasonable is for a user no longer to be able to boot his system and not to be
| |
| able to log in after an update. For the less experienced user, this particular
| |
| problem required a reinstallation of the system. For me, a somewhat more savvy
| |
| user, this required using all the skills I had just to avoid reinstallation,
| |
| and only a tip on this list from another affected user to get me out of an
| |
| unsolvable situation.
| |
| ------------------------
| |
| It is selinux that is denying the startup, system will work, but you need to start with it disabled :(
| |
| I downgraded rsyslog package to get a working desktop in the meantime there is a bugzilla already:
