Gnome15

System Software by Huskynarr 20 comments

It sounds like you have gnome15 configured to use the "g15daemon" driver, so you need to have that installed and running as well.

Hi!

Glad you like it :)

1) "orange background with black fonts."

I am going to guess by this you have a G15 (version 2). If this is the case, it's good to know Gnome15 works with this model!

You *should* be seeing an "Invert" option in the first configuration tab (right click the applet and select Properties OR run g15-config) that will do exactly what you want. If this is not appearing, let me know and I will investigate further.

2) As for Thunderbird. If you are running Ubuntu 10.4 or above, you may want to try and look for some kind 'indicator-messages' integration (http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/add-thunderbird-to-ubuntu-indicator.html looks like a possibility).

I would of course prefer that everyone uses this, as it would require no further work on my part ;)

However, I realise there is more to Linux than Ubuntu, so have planned a generic POP3 / IMAP plugin that will be available in the next version or two for everyone who cannot or will not use the indicators.

3) Lightning is a different matter as I have no experience with this application or what kind of API it exposes (if any). I am guessing you want something like the Evolution plugin to display tasks and events?

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Brett

Thanks for the feedback.

> After I installed all dependencies (you'd better create a How-To;)) I got the applet to work, but I can not see the icon and instead appears a white dot not clickable.

Hm. Not sure what could be causing that. The only thing that comes to mind is the panel size. The applet tries to resize the icon to fit on your panel correctly. Perhaps it is getting that wrong. Regarding the HOWTO, it is on it's way ;) Also, version 0.0.3 will include a PPA so dependency problems on Ubuntu at least will go away!

> Another small issue that I see is the autorun of rhythmbox.

Version 0.0.3 will fix this. Instead of using Rhythmbox directly, it uses 'MPRIS' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Player_Remote_Interfacing_Specification). This also means Banshee, Audacious, XMMS2 and a few others will be supported as well (anything that supports MPRIS v1 or v2).

Thanks for taking the time to test this out :)

Ok, you'll need to install python-evolution (Python bindings for the evolution libraries).

This is used by the calendar plugin.

Future releases of Gnome15 will separate the core and the plugins.

I intend to release 0.0.3 this weekend, which will include amongst (many) other things improved build scripts.

Could you tell me what distribution you are using. I have only used it on Ubuntu 10.4 and 10.10, so there may be issues with others.

You could also try this to see what the error is

1. Remove the applet from the tray and make sure the process has stopped

$ ps -ef|grep "g15"

2. Start the applet from the command line

$ /usr/lib/gnome15/g15-applet

3. Add the applet back to the panel

You should now see any start up errors in the console.

Thanks! - Oct 04 2010
