upgrading issue to f18
by Akira TAGOH 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hi, I have a problem on upgrading to f18 for the input method because of the new feature, the input source on GNOME 3.6. IBus is now managed under GNOME by that feature but there are no compatibilities between older IBus configuration and GNOME's. in addition to it, there are no IME nor the shortcut key by default for certain languages. also heard that we won't ship gnome-initial-setup in f18 (assuming that it's responsible to setup for them too). thus, those matters introduces IBus won't work until one set up on gnome-control-center, which is obviously an regression. One positive idea to migrate the configuration is to use gsettings command line tool for initial boot and my questions is: 1) is there any possible issues if any script changes something through gsettings? 2) if not, where would it be better to do? in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ? or via XDG autostart? 3) or is there any better idea to address this issue? TIA, -- Akira TAGOH

adwaita-firefox as a default Firefox theme for Fedora 18 GNOME installs
by Elad Alfassa 28 Sep '12

I'm pretty sure you are all familiar with the adwaita-firefox [1] theme. It makes Firefox looks more "native" on GNOME, thus making the user experience more consistent. I suggest we package it and make it default for the desktop spin. This requires: 1) Packaging the theme itself 2) Make firefox use it by default (example from Suse [2]) 3) Make sure we don't update Firefox without the theme being updated as well I think this would be a noticeable improvement in user experience.

Activities mode search doesn't find files anymore?
by Ankur Sinha 13 Sep '12

Hi folks, I was trying to use the search box in the activities view to find my pdf files, but it doesn't work any more. I remember it working earlier. It shows applications, folders, contacts, but no files in the search results. I installed the tracker-gui "desktop search", and that shows my files, so tracker is working correctly. Gnome documents seems to show my files too. Is this a change in behaviour of the search box, or is it a bug (known?) The desktop file search was a huge convenience, so I'm a little gutted that it isn't working any more :/ -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary.
