GNOME List

On the 24th of January I sent a message to the gnome-print-list and received no response. Looking at the list history it appears that this list is dead. So, I will forward it to this list in the hope of getting some response: Hello, We (unfortunately) still use lprng for printing. In /usr/lib64/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/printbackends we have libprintbackend-lpr.so. In applications using gtk2.0 (e.g. Firefox) the Print menu has an "LPR" option that allows the user to enter options to the lpr command in to a text box below the list. In gtk3.0 applications this option is missing. I have tried changing settings.ini to include gtk-print-backends = "lpr,file,cups", but this doesn't seem to have done it. gedit, for example, still does not have the lpr option. I suspect maybe this setting should go in gconf now, but I can't see where. How can I properly enable the lpr print backend for gtk 3.0?

I cannot explain why mail-notification has two distinct behaviors on my system (gnome 3.2, gentoo ~amd64). In both modes, when I move the cursor to the lower right corner I see notifications (mail and wicd). The two modes for mail-notification are. 1 (The mode I want). Hovering over the mouse shows the first 10 message headers and gives the total count. (Left) clicking the icon runs the mail reader (fetchmail in my case). 2. Hovering has no effect. Clicking shows the last two messages. Right clicking offers "open" and "remove". I don't see any effect from "open" and have not tried "remove". I much prefer mode 1. How can I ensure it is always used. thanks, allan

Hi, I wrote an extension and submitted on extensions.gnome.org almost over a week back. It still says "Unreviewed". How long does it generally take?

I've been running Fedora 16 for about two months and I have been really happy with it, once the extensions for Gnome 3 came out. I was shocked and dismayed when I was setting up a new (Fedora 16) system for a friend and the error I got from the extension page was that the auto hide top panel was not compatible with my version of Gnome 3. And if you go to the general extensions site, you can't find it anymore. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/42/auto-hide-top-panel/version/99/ What. The. Hell? And not only that, the noa11y was not available either. These are my two most favorite extensions. In fact, I dare say that if they were eliminated from Gnome 3, I would change to a different Windows manager because I find the very pleasing. So my question is: What happened to the auto-hide-top-panel and noa11y? Shouldn't there be some log, some site that says "hey, we removed it because ......" _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list< at >gnome.org http://mail.gnome.or

Hello I'm using Fedora 16 with Gnome3 but at top-panel I'm getting only Applications and places but not Activities. I'm unable to get windows to desktop and applications also not working. _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list< at >gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list

I have gnome3 running on two machines and am quite happy with it. Somehow on one machine, when I am logged in, the center of the top bar has the time with the day of the week, e.g., Tue 11:56 PM The other includes the date as well, something like Tue jan 24, 11:56 PM I prefer the latter but can not find the button to press to change the format. I have clicked all over "date and time settings". thanks in advance, allan

Hi All, Does Gnome 3 at all support more than one GPU (multiGPU)? If this is supported, is the way to goodness to use: a) Xinerama b) Randr c) something else It is not working for me using nVidia Quadro NVS 450 and three monitors, and I see other people with all sorts of multi-GPU configurations having difficulties, too. *https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667333* Harald _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list< at >gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list

I have two doubts about GTK+. The first is when I call: gtk_signal_connect (widget, "key-press-event", G_CALLBACK (function1), NULL) ; and then: gtk_signal_connect (widget, "key-press-event", G_CALLBACK (function2), NULL) ; when the event occurs, both functions will be called? The second doubt is because when I call gtk_signal_connect (widget, "key-press-event", G_CALLBACK (function), NULL); and press one key on the widget function "function" is not called? What else to add missing? _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list< at >gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list

I am running F16 and Gnome 3.2 I have set my top panel date/time format for DayOfWeek/Date/AMPM, but when I lock the screen (via or user pulldown), the format is DayOfWeek/24Hr. After some amount of times of locking and unlocking the unlocked format stays as the locked format eventhough the setup still shows to use AMPM. I have found that with r I can reload Gnome and get my date/time format back. This seems like a bug.... But how do I set the format for the locked screen? There does not seem to be any option to do this.

I'm running gnome-shell from Debian's wheezy but the performance is not so good (the machine is lagging.) For some reason gnome-settings-daemon takes all the cycles it can take. I'm accessing the home folder over NFS4. No, i haven't done dist-upgrade from squeeze instead i'm installing wheezy versions via apt. Is the poor performance of gnome-settings-daemon over nfs4 something well known ?

I upgraded my Fedoral 14 (Gnome 2.4?) to 16 (Gnome 3.2?) the other day and I am working through the UI changes. The one that stymies me the most is that I can no longer figure out how to drag and drop a url from Firefox onto a custom launcher. I had a custom launcher that wrapped get_flash_videos. I simply dragged a link to a video page to the launcher on the *top panel* and viola it launched a terminal with get_flash_videos downloading the video. I got the launcher to appear in the Activities/Applications list. I just added the desktop file below to ~/.local/share/applications [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Terminal=true Icon=camera-video.png Type=Application Categories=Application;AudioVideo;AudioVideoEditing; Exec=getvid %u MimeType=text/x-uri; Name=GetVideo GenericName=GetVideo Comment=Invokes get_flash_videos. Comment[en]=Invokes get_flash_videos. However, I cannot figure out how to drag and drop an object (url) onto it. If I click on something (a link in FireFox) and drag it up to the Activiti

Hi. I have a problem, in this particular case with VirtualBox , but I guess it is general. With VirtualBox in full screen or fluid mode, I should be able to move my mouse cursor to the lower edge of the screen and have a menu appear. This is not posible now with gnome 3 (3.2) Without this, I have to switch back and forth between modes for some tasks. Is there anythin I am missing? Thank you.

Hi; I have downloaded the auto-move-windows extension and it seems to be installed. I have opened dconf-editor and found org => gnome => gnome-session. There doesn't appear to be a field(s) into which I can list programs to automatically start in a pre-chosen work space. I can use the command line to get there, but am I missing something?

Hello, Please bring back classic menus, since I had a terrible car accident 6 years ago and it made using mouse impossible. I'd like to  browse menus without mouse and that is impossible in current gnome 3. And I  don't want any other display managers, I've tried KDE, this was total crap compared to gnome 2. Gnome 3 itself is awesome, but its menu is something like windows has, one menu to control everything (hands must be working to use this).

Dear Support I like the design that you are showing on the website. Please see a screen-shot below. http://www.gnome.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/overview.png How can I get this design for my Ubuntu11.10? I have installed gnome-shell and logged into it. But the result is awful Ubuntu's look. Regards Takashi

Hi; I am looking for suggestions of where I can get this conversation going with some people who would like to participate in such a conversation. I want to go forward not back. I would like to see Gnome get rid of all panels, task bars, and extraneous dodads in my work spaces. I want instead to use dockers, multiple dockers that I can call up by short cut key, mouse motion or from the activities space. I would like the dockers to have all the properties of a file, an icon, a launcher and a panel or several different panels. I want to be able a new different docker on the Activities window, place launchers and files in the docker and name it. That way I can have a main application running in a work space but also a docker that contains subsidiary programs that I use often while working in that application. I can then design or load dockers that would have applications or what used to be applets that are apropos to the type of work I was doing and/or the main application I was using. I would have

Hi, I'm using GNOME shell 3.2.1. How can I start one of my favourite applications from the left side vertical bar using the keyboard? When I press Alt+F1, I can see the bar with my favourites, but now I'm lost. I could not find a hint in the cheat sheet[1]. TIA! [1] http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/CheatSheet

Hi, I'm using GNOME shell 3.2.1. How can I change the sound volume using the keyboard? Firstly, I don't know how to select the panel (the black bar on the top of the screen) using the keyboard. I could not find a hint in the cheat sheet[1]. Secondly, I can change the sound volume using the left and right cursor keys, but only in huge steps, while I can change it "fine-grained" using the mouse. Combining the cursor keys with shift, alt, control did not change the behaviour. Any ideas? TIA! [1] http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/CheatSheet
