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. − − ===fix screensize in sugar-emulator=== − terminal: − su - − (password) − gedit /usr/share/applications/sugar-emulator.desktop − edit line 6: Exec='''sugar-emulator -f''' − (see [[Emulator/Full Screen|how to configure full screen]]) − save − Logout − login − − ===show desktop as icon in favorites=== − add programs install "alacarte" − open alacarte − make new − application − command "nautilus Desktop" − save − Run from applications − Make favorite − − ===key shortcuts=== − * System (Windows) key: Switch between overview and desktop − * Alt+F1: Switch between overview and desktop − * Alt+F2: Pop up command dialog − * Alt+Tab: Pop up window cycler − * Alt+Shift+Tab: Cycle in reverse direction in the window cycler − * Alt+`: Switch between windows of the same application in Alt+Tab − * Ctrl+Alt+Tab: Pop up place cycler − * Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R: Start and end screencast recording − * Ctrl+Alt+D: Show desktop and raise windows back − * Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down arrow: Switch between workspaces − * Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Up/Down arrow: Move the current window to a different workspace − Most keybindings can be viewed under the User Menu -> System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts − − − === List of Autostart programs when starting gnome-shell=== − ALT F2 gnome-session-properties − − ===='''move intro screens that are too large for 800x600'''==== − ; alt+f7 and then the arrow keys − ; alt+f8 Resize − ; shift and arrow keys − :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. − − ===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. − − ===GNOME 3 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. − − The minimum memory required is 1GB, due to anaconda changes. − When you see "populate_rootfs" in the panic, it's caused by that. − − ===[http://sunglint.wordpress.com/2011/10/26/fedora-16-vs-macbook-pro-or-air/ Fedora-16-vs-macbook-pro-or-air]=== − :click this link ^ − :Add features to Anaconda to aid installation on Apple computers https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=503149 − − === 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 − − − See [[The_Undiscoverable#Sugar-Emulator_Screen_Size_Adjustment|emulator screen size adjustment]]. − − You may also collaborate with others in the jabber.sugarlabs.org server Neighborhood (Press <F1> to see the Neighborhood view.) − − == 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 − ===Koji=== − *Current http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/ − *Nightly Compose http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/tasks?method=createLiveCD&owner=kevin&state=all&view=tree&order=-id − ===Rawhide Testing=== − *http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide#Direct_Rawhide_install_via_standalone_Anaconda − ===Common Bugs=== − :https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?keywords=CommonBugs&keywords_type=allwords&field0-0-0=status_whiteboard&columnlist=bug_severity,priority,component,assigned_to,bug_status,resolution,short_short_desc&classification=Fedora&query_based_on=CommonBugs%3F&query_format=advanced&type0-0-0=notregexp&value0-0-0=http.*fedoraproject.*Common_F[0-9]*_bugs&product=Fedora&known_name=CommonBugs%3F
