Re: [Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS - Message from Ubuntu GNOME Technical Lead]
Yes I also have the same question, what are the Gnome changes in 14.04 that need much testing?

Your support in this Team has been essential and there´s no doubt that your participation was a key factor to make this project walk i a straight line. I you ask me which project is more interesting to be on, I would look at it in the perspective of new features that are going to be changing Linux world, and Gnome is walking on the line of the change, with wayland and touch, so I guess it is a interesting project all around to participate on.

Re: [Discussion/Opinion] Ubuntu 14.04 LTS To Stay On GTK/GNOME 3.8?
I completely agree with Joseph, so basically LTS is to have an amount of stable packages ready to deploy and stable enough to work with everything, and non LTS is for upgrading and testing new findings in the Linux world, specially now that Gnome is porting to wayland and making big changes, it would be wise to stick with the most stable version before chaos lol, and also I think i've read that Gnome is ditching classic on 3.12 if not 3.10 already, I haven't tested.. 2013/10/2 Joseph Godino jgodi...@gmail.com: On Wed, 2013-10-02 at 14:20 -0400, Manuel Cuadra wrote: In terms of a LTS release it would make sense to stick with GNOME 3.8. I have been running Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 for about a week on my main computer and I feel that this release has all the stability requirements to be considered LTS. As for GNOME 3.10 couldn't it be backported to a ppa so the adventurous could give it a try. I've been using Gnome 3.10 and it's not that much unstable, I can actually do my work with no problems, it's just the main programs that need some refinement. In the article, the main thing that worries them is that the latest GTK wants to get rid of the icons in menus and icons in buttons, so a lot of people report that as a bug and think that it's not a good change... I do think like @Joe that this could be a PPA to upgrade the version of Gnome but I think also that Gnome itself is changing anyways and people that wants to stick with it should be more focused on making it better, not trying to stop its growth by freezing the version, they should debate this things on the official gnome project if they want the icons back to the buttons and menus. REASONS to consider a LTS release. 1. The kernel is frozen. Therefore kernel updates shouldn't break API's which would lead to the stability of the proprietary drives provided by the Ubuntu software center. In other words, a kernel update won't break a system and render it unusable until a driver patch becomes available. I believe this is what happened with the release of the 3.10 kernel. 2. Lagging development can catch up. For example, I would like to work with CUDA applications. Unfortunately, this requires the Nvidia CUDA tookkit. At the present time Nvidia only provides support for Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10. One on the problems I ran into when trying to install the CUDA toolkit on a newer version of linux was that the installer complained about the version of the gcc compiler. It detected a new version and aborted the installation. In as LTS release the compiler version is frozen. 3. Software in the software center is frozen, enabling users to get a system up and running that they can rely on without it becoming unstable. I think this is a requirement for business and/or university students who may be working on a research project that would last longer than a six month development cycle. REASONS why I chose Ubuntu and specifically Ubuntu GNOME. 1. A great collection of software both free and non-free. 2. Excellent fonts - especially useful when spending a long time with the computer. 3. All my other proprietary software, for example, Maple, Mathematica and CrashPlan, run flawlessly. 4. Easy installation of software not included in the distribution via ppa, e.g Oracle Java, GNOME 3.10. 5. I prefer GNOME over Unity especially GNOME classic session. I don't use the newer GNOME interface because I am mainly running a workstation and/or desktop. The newer interface may be better for mobile devices. CONCLUSION In no way should a LTS release affect the continued development of software. It is just a reference point in which to continue building However, it provides users with a branch in which to run in a production environment. -- Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list Ubuntu-GNOME@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome

[Testing] Nautilus Bugs
Hi, I've been testing all versions of Gnome3, that is 3.8 - 3.10 Staging and in all of them when I do a connection via SSH I get the following Bugs: - Nautilus doesn't remember the Username and Pass for a server even when I press the Remember Credential check box - When I'm connected to the server I can browse without trouble, but if I press a letter to search it freezes without comeback, I have to force close and restart.

Re: No more multimedias keys on Dell XPS13
Hi, I'm sure this was operating on the Beta 1 + Gnome 3.8. I can't say if it comes from Gnome 3.10 or just from recent updates, but on my Dell XPS13, the multimedias almost don't work anymore. - Sound keys don't work at all - Almost because keyboard and screen backlight work, but...read below - The screen backlight slider in 3.10 system menu doesn't work - There is no widget displayed when I activate some of these keys @romu: Happened the same thing to me, it is broken in Beta 2 13.10 I've actually added the gnome3-next and gnome3-staging PPA and it fixed it, but other things get broken, so it's going to get fixed in the next gnome3-next update, so it's not your fault, you have to be patient for the update.

Re: [Testing] Low Resolution Install Problem
Okay, let me try to understand this clearly. Are you trying to Install the system? Yes! I've been doing QA Testings with three diferent machines that I have: 1. Quad Core Intel Abit IP35 Pro, Nvidia GTX260 2. Eeepc 1H 3. AMD Athlon X 2 with RADEON HD integrated Did you choose Try Ubuntu GNOME without installation OR you chose Install Ubuntu GNOME Directly from the Boot Menu? The QA Testing tells you to press Install Gnome, not go into a live session, and that's the point because the first resolution it finds is 600x800 on one of my machines, and just because of that little extra height of the title bars on the windows it hides the buttons at the bottom. Should I file this as a bug?? Let's hold that until you reply :D because there will be some people that will install this on low resolution screens like Netbooks, it almost seems like it needs at least 768 of height to display a complete window and be able to install without problems. The Q is, not what kind of monitor a user may have, the real Q is what kind of Hardware a user is using? Let's keep in mind that Ubuntu GNOME is not for old machines and Notebook with low hardware specifications? I'd be very very interested to know how Ubuntu GNOME can perform on these machines :) For the specs of my machines the oldest one is the eeepc 1000H and all the installs work perfectly there, because it finds the 1024x768 resolution first. I know its the monitors fault, but the normal ubuntu install does not add the extra height on the windows so you can still see the buttons on the screen with low resolution. -- Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list Ubuntu-GNOME@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome

[Testing] Installation and personal introduction
Hello, I want to contribute to the Gnome Project by doing testing and translation in any way I can, since I don't see any material related to Translation I'm going to be doing the QA testing. I have Spare computers to use in my office and I have about an hour or more a day so I hope I can help as much as possible. With that in mind also want to say that my experience in Linux is a little mixed, I've been using it as a Server for more than 7 years and I tried using Ubuntu since version 9 but I always get bottlenecked because of video performance (I have a Nvidia GTX 260), usually if I open 3 or 4 tabs with youtube videos the FPS just went down... Ok, but now that is over, Nvidia has made better drivers and started to contribute a little more in the Linux community so now I'm exited and I want to be part of the change. So to no further talking about me, I would like to ask about something in the testing area: I'm installing Gnome Daily and when I get to the installer, it reports that it finds a Network interface and tries to connect but I doesn't work, if I use a stable release installer it works right away. How can I test this things to report the bug and not sound like Internet doesn't work person.
