Have dropped Luis from Planet SUSE out of pragmatism. I really respect Luis, but as far as I can make out he’s no longer using SUSE, and I think his posts are far more at home solely on Planet GNOME. I encourage anyone who’s interested in QA or GNOME to continue reading his blog, I …

Wednesday morning
Uploading gnome-themes-extras and ulb-themes for openSUSE 10.0. Also uploaded galeon a couple of days ago, but forgot to mention it Both those themes packages are noarch incidentally, so please feel free to try them on architectures other than x86. Off to St Luke’s in a moment…

Placement
Start the full-time part of my placement at St Luke’s tomorrow, which I guess means that as of then I’m officially a second year. Blimey! Not much SUSE work to comment about today, waiting for some stuff back from within Novell at the moment before I can announce the Big ProjectTM.

Monday afternoon
Welcome to Planet SUSE, Holger. Holger is VP for Product Management at SUSE. I’ve done updated beagle packages for openSUSE 10.0 (beta 3) to include all the options I normally have enabled (except the Epiphany extension until I build Epiphany itself), and use the “proper” Beagle icons.

Beta 3
Well, it looks very nice, and to demonstrate this, I’ve done a little gallery of the install as far as seeing the GDM login screen. Image 13 includes a link to the bug associated with what you see. Filed at least one other bug as well. Plan to do builds of the following excluded packages …

Beta 3
Right, ISOs all downloaded, final CD burning as I type, just about ready to go once a quick query is answered, if anyone knows the answer (it’s below) please let me know. Looks like apt is included, which is pretty cool. So, my query is this: With 9.3, I had to use twofishSL92 as the …

Soul Survivor 2005
Well, what to say? It was simply an amazing fifteen days, and we saw God do fantastic things. Most fantastic of all was seeing hundreds of people come to know Jesus. Others received healing – I heard reports of physical healing as well as lots of emotional healing – and lots of people being envisioned …

And so it begins…
Started going though my Inbox, down to 112 mails in it now. Beta3 still downloading, CD2 is almost finished, it’s going a lot quicker now I’ve switched to ftp.gwdg.de rather than ftp.opensuse.org. Had a bit of a cull on blogs on Planet SUSE – removed the ones that had moved more towards talking about Ubuntu …

PPC!
Sonja: Rock and roll! If only I had a PPC machine to test it on. One of the funnest things I did while I was at SuSE was some of the initial testing when the boxed product was being made available for PPC, getting the bootloader installed on the lime iBook we had in the …
