====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
  −

  −
  have it running on login on my laptop. The icon shows up in the

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

====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.

        In any case, VBox with 3d accelleration enables and 128MB for video memory
  −
        is not sufficient for GShell.  (VBox 4.0.4)

        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"
