| − | ====Keyring Password Explained====
| |
| − | what do you have to enter when connecting to wlan, the keyring password or the wlan-password?
| |
| − | first i must enter the keyring password (root password here) and then i entered the wireless password
| |
| − | the keyring-password should not be your root password, it should be your users password so automatically unlocking could work
| |
| − | it may happen but during current session, after i reboot it appears again
| |
| − | ok, it is the keyring issue, assuming your distro has configured keyring correctly, changing the password should work
| |
| − | root pass?
| |
| − | change the keyring password to your users password
| |
| − | in settings ?
| |
| − | in seahorse
| |
| − | system settings?
| |
| − | as user (the login-keyring)
| |
| − | keyring is a way to store your "gnome" passwords
| |
| − | So, with one password (the keyring one), you "auto-type" the passwords it contains
| |
| − | if the keyring-password is your login password, it's automatically authenticated
| |
| − | keyring stores the passwords encrypted with the according keyring-password, and automatic unlocking works by getting the password through pam on login through gdm and then use it to unencrypt the passwords - and that can only work if your login-password is the same as the keyring-password
| |
| − | | |
| − | why doesn't gnome 3 display "interactive dialogs" when applications ask for input
| |
| − | yes, also from gnome 3
| |
| − | when you run the shell script from nautilus, it doesn't display a dialog
| |
| − | "Enter passphrase for ..."
| |
| − | you can use zenity for that
| |
| − | try moving /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-session-check-accelerated.desktop somewhere else
| |
| − | didn't know you needed anything additional for that.. was it always like that or did gnome 2 have that by default?
| |
| − | maybe thats the seahorse/keyring integration, that stuff has changed quite a bit in 3.0
| |
| − | but i thought you meant a more generic approach of showing dialogs from scripts
| |
| − | i'm actually doing the ssh-add from a process spawned by a pygtk app
| |
| − | if it is only this specific case, you should probably still use keyring/seahorse (whatever should do that now) as it would not be passing around passwords unencrypted between processes (at least afaik)
| |
| − | worked!
| |
| − | do you somehow run gdm with a different driver or some weird setup like that?
| |
| − | so it's not possible to get the old behavior, and it needs some additional code to get it to work with seahorse/keyring?
| |
| − | which distro is this?
| |
| − | fedora 15 beta
| |
| − | i've tested the same code on fedora 14 and linuxmint (both gnome 2)
| |
| − | when the ssh-add {key_path} process is spawned, the GUI dialog appears asking you to type in your passphrase
| |
| − | ssh-add succeeds, and them the rest of the pygtk app continues
| |
| − | it doesn't even care whether the key is password protected or anything
| |
| − | i think there needs a daemon to be running that doesn't get started by fedora
| |
| − | this happens both in standard and fallback mode
| |
| − | try launching seahorse-daemon
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Install VirtualBox_fedora14 to f15 gnome3-shell====
| |
| − | :Download VirtualBox http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.0.4/VirtualBox-4.0-4.0.4_70112_fedora14-1.i686.rpm

| − | | |
| − | ====AutoStart====
| |
| − | ln -s /usr/share/applications/xxxx.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
| |
| − | don't remember if I had to manually add it to the startup apps (run
| |
| − | gnome-session-properties) or using a preference in xxxx itself, but I
| |
| − | have it running on login on my laptop. The icon shows up in the
| |
| − | notification tray - mouse to the lower right corner to bring it up -
| |
| − | this is where all legacy tray icons will show up.

| |
| − | 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

| |
| − | 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. :)

| |
| − | 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.

| |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.

| |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The minimum memory required is 1GB, due to anaconda changes.
| |
| − | When you see "populate_rootfs" in the panic, it's caused by that.

| − | ==== MacPro and f15 Boot====
| |
| − | *Clips from #fedora-qa 04/04/2011 MacPro and f15 Boot
| |
| − | I have a macbook pro and have run fedora 14 on it with great success. 15 alpha, on the other hand, is not going well. The installation comes saying something about "installing *** on EFI ***"
| |
| − | which i just dismiss/ignore, but when i try to boot after installation has completed, it wont. Just saying something like "no file found". Should i do something
| |
| − | special to install 15 alpha on a EFI system?
| |
| − | Yeah... you may have to run gptsync (I think that's what it's called)
| |
| − | no, you don't need to install again, but you will need to gain access to the installed partitions from another system (whether it's a Fedora live image)
| |
| − | referring to the gptsync that is provided be rEFIt
| |
| − | I formatted the partition to make space for a working distro. i have refit installed and my mbp boots to that at startup by default. that didnt make 15 alpha work. 14 did though
| |
| − | you may need to enter the boot partition tool from the rEFIt menu and when it asks to run gptsync, say yes
| |
| − | okay. I will try to install again later and do that. Thank you so far. Will get back to you guys
| |
| − | I belive anytime partitioning changes occur on a macbook, you do need to run gptsync. Since the EFI implementation by apple isn't fully compliant with the standard, extra steps are required
| |
| − | you don't need to reinstall ... just run gptsync from the rEFIt menu
| |
| − | just need to get your partitions synced up

| − | ====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"
