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. − − ====Reload shell ALT+F2 r (reload)==== − : use to recover Applications lists if they go missing and after alacarte edits − − ====http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/CheatSheet==== − :How to show user pictures on the GDM LOGIN screen − ::Click "my account" on the top panel lets me edit the picture, and − ::adding a picture will show it on the GDM login screen. − − ====If you hold down Alt, a 'Shut Down' option appears in place of suspend==== − − ====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. − − ====GNOME3 is not expected to work in virtualized environments==== − 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. − Adam Williamson − 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. − − ====Unable to log in after update:==== − test Digest, Vol 85, Issue 78 − '''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: − https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689089 − − ==== 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" − − ====Smolt profiles==== − *http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_53cdeffa-ac52-4a4b-aa0a-66f624949472 − : Beta TC-1 VirtuaLBox 4.0.4 OSX MacBook Pro i7 − *http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_7cc33ba2-4c62-44fa-925e-c92fcbf7dc41 − :ACER ASPIRE ONE HD Install from booted dd USB of x86-64 .iso − *http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_3c23177f-b17a-44f3-aa83-0de632f7de21 − :ACER ASPIRE ONE external USB HD Install from booted dd USB of Fedora-15-Beta-i686-Live-Desktop.iso − − ==Sugar on a Stick == − − With this spin, you'll be able to run Sugar, which is developed by Sugar Labs and is the desktop environment used on the OLPC, directly from a Live CD or Live USB! − − :See our [[Sugar_on_a_Stick|'''Sugar on a Stick''' page]]. − − [[File:Soas-mango-lassi.png|middle|200px|link=http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/spins/linux/releases/14/Spins/i686/Fedora-14-i686-Live-SoaS.iso]], Mango Lassi with Sugar 0.90.3 and Fedora 14 (Laughlin)<br/>or, for brave pioneers, [[Sugar_on_a_Stick/Beta | v5 alpha with Sugar 0.92 and Fedora 15 (Lovelock)]] − ====Testing of recent f-15 Soas Spins==== − :http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Fedora-SoaS − − ==Make a custom Fedora image== − − '''[[Build Your Own Remix with Fedora]]''' − :click link ^ http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Build_Your_Own_Remix_with_Fedora − *Use Livecd-tools and a custom kickstart file to build a custom remix.iso − − == Fedora OLPC == − The Fedora OLPC SIG, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OLPC, will be importing further activities into Fedora, which might later be installed using − − yum install sugar-* − :: Here's a video of the process [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKmrtlyyCFo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKmrtlyyCFo] − ::CJB suggests: as root, run: yum -y groupinstall "Sugar Desktop Environment" − The command to run Sugar is as root otherwise you may get this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azKbRqr60Og behavior]. − − sugar-emulator − − − For more information on the new release, please refer to the announcement here: − − * http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-olpc-list/2008-December/msg00061.html − − ==Mailing list == − − * http://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/olpc − − ==Download Mirrors and Spins== − *Mirror List: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/development/i386/ − :http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist − *Currently building Spins: http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ − *10 days of old spin builds: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/tasks?method=createLiveCD&owner=kevin&state=all&view=tree&order=-id
