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'''

:: to match the XO reflective screen resolution
 
−
: {{Code|/usr/bin/sugar-emulator -i 832x624}}

−
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
 
−
what, i was able to successfully install the program.

: '''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

      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.

        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.

        Unable to log in after update:

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

−
        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:

====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"
