| |
− | :https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262546
| |
− | It's worth nothing, for Metacity >= 2.13.2, that if the window doesn't have a
| |
− | minimum size hint larger than the screen then Metacity will now force such
| |
− | windows to be onscreen (by shrinking and moving them as necessary). If the
| |
− | window has a minimum size hint larger than the screen, then the user can use
| |
− | '''alt+left-click-and-drag (or alt+f7 and then the arrow keys) to move the window
| |
− | upwards''' (including moving the titlebar offscreen) in order to get to the
| |
− | forward button. Yeah, that's just a workaround for windows that are too large,
| |
− | but it may be helpful information for those waiting for the UI changes to make
| |
− | the window usable on 800x600 resolutions. :)
| |
− | clip....
| |
− | why not use a keyboard shortcut. the "next" button is marked "forward" so i hit '''alt + f''' and guess

| |
− | ::Click "my account" on the top panel lets me edit the picture, and

| |
− | | |
− | ;4-) If you hold down Alt, a 'Shut Down' option appears in place of suspend
| |
− | | |
− | ;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 :(

− | ====Customizing the Gnome3-shell====
| |
− | *IRC discussion
| |
− | "http://blog.fpmurphy.com/2011/03/customizing-the-gnome-3-shell.html
| |
− | customization of fallback-mode is not possible unless you edit the code
| |
− | gnome-tweak-tool for fonts.
| |
− | for colors, you will need to create a GTK theme of your own
| |
− | metacity is used in the fallback mode in fallback mode you can use gconf-editor to switch your metacity theme as before
| |
− | metacity (and mutter) will probably be ported to gsettings (dconf is a gsettings backend) for gnome 3.2
| |
− | gnome-tweak-tool's source code is Python and really easy to follow, so if there's any setting you want to easily toggle that's not there yet, just add it :)
| |
− | gnome 3.2 will be in F16 the goal is to get rid of gconf
| |
− | GNOME 3.0 final is just about to land, and Fedora 15 is out in just over a month :) no time for 3.2"
