Was all set to post a short HOWTO on getting a Realtek 8168 NIC working on openSUSE after Realtek released version 1.05 of their Linux driver which both builds and works. Was then trumped when I plugged in my ethernet cable and the card sprang to life using the r8169 module. Seems the openSUSE kernel …

Poker? I hardly know her!
Poker night tonight. A six-person £5 no-limit Texas Hold ‘Em tournament with some guys from college. Hopefully it’ll be a good night, especially since quite a few people have expressed interest in being in future games. The glib2 issue is now in bugzilla.

Fishing from toadstools
So far have moved the following packages from my home repo to GNOME:Community: gnome-themes-extras mail-notification sensors-applet tomboy None of us can figure out why glib2 isn’t building in GNOME:[UN]STABLE – and suffice to say it’s blocking lots of other things as a result. This week, I’m doing a week-long module (which means it’s pretty well …

GNOME Blog/GNOME on Build Service
A morning spent wearing my openSUSE team hat. Been working on #216352. Also finally logged the gnome-blog.desktop bug (#219794). The various GNOME projects on the Build Service are now in existence, so I’ll be moving some packages to GNOME:Community real soon.

Well, there’s been some discussion on the Build Service list about GNOME stuff and, since that’s a matter of public record through the archives, I’m going to mention a few things that are happening/will happen. Firstly, there will be two ‘official’ Build Service repos. These will be called GNOME:STABLE and GNOME:UNSTABLE. You can probably work …

GNOME Blog menu location
Wanted from the community: Suggestions of where the menu entry for the non-applet version of GNOME Blog should go. Currently it resides in System/Desktop Applet, but this just seems plain wrong. It’s not a system tool and it’s not an applet (at least in the GNOME sense, I suppose if you take applet to mean …
