Revision [1427]

Edited on 2012-05-02 21:18:00 by BenoitAudouard
Additions:
===Some ToDo===
~- check openssh-server +# WARNING: 'UsePAM no' is not supported in Mageia and may cause several problems.
~~- is it documented? not that much Slackware but well, is tere a reason why?


Revision [1426]

Edited on 2012-04-24 23:45:56 by BenoitAudouard
Additions:
~~- this is a problem when multiple terminals are open (for example with 2 screen+irssi)
~- one major drawback ;-) when switching from Desktop to Desktop, the latest window I was in is not brought forward and I have to click in the window (seems gkrellm is brought forward by default? perhaps because I've configured it to be at the forefront of everything?)
~- one annoyance: showing the status bar requires to put the cursor at the bottom-right exactly: I would have expected it to appear automatically going at the bottom (not in the corner)


Revision [1424]

Edited on 2012-04-23 02:22:33 by BenoitAudouard
Additions:
~- KDE4 became the default desktop environment after upgrade (though I was using Gnome 2 before), can be changed at login (close session if needed)


Revision [1423]

Edited on 2012-04-23 02:20:43 by BenoitAudouard
Additions:
~~- **in fact, it seems that bogofilter has to be re-trained with new incoming spam** : it ended up working (though now I've got a strange bug for mails in Inbox, which I cannot read (and some cpu consumption as well, which disappear as soon as I choose another directory)


Revision [1411]

Edited on 2012-04-18 00:15:49 by BenoitAudouard
Additions:
~- alt-tab does not bring back to the previous window when it's the same application:
~~- this is a problem with evolution when trying to switch to a mail previously opened in a window
~~- this is a problem when opening multiple firefox to switch between reference / wiki for example, maybe alt-tab staying on firefox icon would be ok as using arrows is just like stalking/moving in openarena (which most people can become accustomed to as an efficient way of moving)


Revision [1393]

Edited on 2012-04-16 01:00:22 by BenoitAudouard
Additions:
~- when switching to an existing desktop, the window which had the focus should get it back directly without having to click in the window (all the more when there's only one window)

Revision [1391]

Edited on 2012-04-14 22:42:49 by BenoitAudouard
Additions:
~- In gnome-shell, when there's a notification that there's a new mail in evolution, clicking on the notification brings the desktop with evolution forward (would be nice if I could come back as easily to what I was doing or that hovering the mouse over the notification would show evolution in transparency to determine if I want to switch or not)

~- [[Blog20120222WifiBroadcomNotWorking check wifi]] seems non free repository is needed to get dkms-broadcom-wl to compile ?
Well, I began with KDE4 (which seems to work correctly imho):
~- one feature I really liked: icons of programs launched appear in the task-bar (which I've put at the top, was at the bottom at beginning)
~~- when hovering on the icon, it shows the window at real size in transparency (fine to check if there are discussions on my irssi windows :p)

===Becoming accustomed to Gnome3===
Well, I began with KDE4 (which seems to work correctly imho).
Then I switched back to Gnome to give a try to Gnome3
~- Activities are available at top-left (or putting the mouse at the corner make them appear directly)
~- System parameters are available clicking on your name (top right):
~~- touchpad: I disabled disabling touchpad when typing, because I felt my touchpad did not work (maybe reduce time to free the touchpad? so that it's available sooner with no lag?)
~~- I changed the zoom to 0,7 for fonts: too big in evolution otherwise
~- tweak-gnome: I changed the theme, I chose Oxygnome. Maybe give a try to oxygen too
~- ctrl-alt up/down key to move desktop (I was used to left/right)
What I need to find
~- get back cpu optimizations and economy mode
~- get back bottom panel with desktops

~- well, wifi does not work anymore, prefer wirefull! (find bugs preventing dkms-broadcom-wl from compiling or new driver to be loaded :)
~~- some effects prevent from coming back immediately from screensaver? (pressing key, moving finger on the touchpad, ends up coming back for some unknown reason...)

Additions:
===Some really beautiful things with Mageia 2 in cauldron ===
~~- eh the background is really fine! appears in drakconf too and at boot! great!!!
~- time came back one hour in the past for me (some conf' in my bios perhaps...), recommand to run ntpdate just after install?
~- ~- well, wifi does not work anymore, prefer wirefull! (find bugs preventing dkms-broadcom-wl from compiling or new driver to be loaded :)
~- evolution a bit lost at first boot
~~- not all "dossier" appear :/
~~- bogofilter does not seem to work, you'll have to identify spam manually :/ maybe not recompiled (did not find any error message :/)
~- I used to connect automatically with Gnome: KDE4 is selected by default (gave me the opportunity to test it, works quite well), maybe gnome-shell should be default? (how to detect it?)
~- gkrellm does not have an invisible background in KDE4 (it appears black)
~- some effects in the screensaver take up to 15% of each of my quadricore CPU o_O maybe that's too much for just images being displayed? (all the most on a laptop where battery is to be preserved...)
~- KDE4 comes with touchpad with default configuration: border scrolling, I prefer two fingers scrolling (both vertical and horizontal), could it be the default ?
~-
