Yes, there is. Just call the appropriate get_type() function for the
type and you're done. GTK+ has lots of macros like GTK_TYPE_LABEL which
expand to gtk_label_get_type(). And if you plan to hardcode a type to
some code passage in your bindings, you're advised to use GTK_TYPE_LABEL
in favor of the slower g_type_from_name("GtkLabel").

Kind regards,
Sven Herzberg

g_object_new

2009-12-08T03:12:50Z

Hi,

I'm working on one of the lisp bindings to gtk and from reading the
docs, it looks like we should
be able to construct instances of all gtk types using just
g_object_new. Is that correct in
principle?

If that is true, I need a way to get a GType dynamically. The
function g_type_from_name looks
like it might do the job but I think the type needs to have been
initialized by creating an
instance first. Is there any other way to initialize a type so that I
don't have to create an instance?
(since that's what I'm trying to avoid by using g_object_new).

Many Thanks,
Andy

Request for removing clutter in current form

2009-08-16T03:12:47Z

I'm sorry I'm posting it on wrong list.

I'm usuing currently Gnome 2.27.x and I've become worried about new
dependency - clutter.

OpenGL traditionally have been problematic on GNU/Linux, not mentioning
other *nixes. Many cards are only partially supported and/or produces
not exactly correct results. Proprietary drivers not only are
proprietary but often are not stable.

Unfortunately I have rather old and strange ATI card and OpenGL I can
best describe as 'sometimes' working. If an game uses it I'm prepared to
have blinking screen or artifacts (I'm using 2.6.30.4 kernel but
problems was 'since always'). I don't use propertary drivers since it
tended to crash computer. While recently situation improved much I guess
that many users may have similar problems.

When I tried new clutter-based gnometris I haven't see it running at
all. The main portion of screen was the previous background. While I
understend that it is not a gnome bug it shows that OpenGL is not
perfect even on 'geeks' desktop.

While I understend the need of eye-candies I'd be rather grateful if
features would not be hard-depended on OpenGL - since it is not working
everywhere - especially rather old/new/peculiar computers.

Best regards
PS. Please CC me in response.

I can think of a few useful trick of this:

* In a text-only (no BB-code) forum, select a forum post, "menu
key", type "fold < | sed 's/^/< /'" to get quoted message to do
in-line reply.
* Seeing a command "bc", select it, "menu key", type "man -t | lp "
would cause it run "man -t bc | lp".
* Seeing a link to the source code package, select it, "menu key",
type "curl < | tar -C ~/code/ jxvf -" and wait for the bubble to
finish. When it does, the source code is unpacked at the right place.
* Select text and run "aspell", instantly turn gnome to spell-check
capable platform. However this require interactiveness in the
bubble which is not sure if doable.
* Add word count feature to any text by selecting the whole article
and do "wc <";
* Select a whole web page and do "a2ps <" to get clean text-only
print out;

In general there could be a lot of uses.

idea for new feature: ubiquity in gnome? (request for brainstorm)

2009-08-10T06:15:14Z

I am not sure how many used ubiquity, the Firefox plugin, I find it
highly innovative and useful. How about making it available in gnome?

In short, we make gnome work in this way:

User can do a mouse selection anywhere on a gnome desktop, e.g.
addressbar, email composing window, openoffice writer or calculator,
tomboy notes etc. When something is selected, the user can press a
special key (I recommend the "menu key" sitting adjacent to right Ctrl),
a bubble pops up asking user what he wants to do with the selection. He can:

* Type "wiki" and enter to see wikipedia article about the selected word
* Type "google trans en" and enter to see selected text translated
to English using google translate. While this is done, the
translated text is also pre-selected for pasting.
* Type "whois" and enter to launch a GUI application return whois
result of selected IP address or domain name;
* Type "man" to launch a manual page browser for selected command;
* Type "calc" to calculate selected math expression (or even "plot
it" to get output from gnuplot)
* Type "dic" to get the translation.
* ....

This change user behavior from "launch application, use it to process
information" to "pick information, and choose how to process it", which
is closer to nature user action, because in most cases a nature user
think of information first instead of tools first.

Other ideas:

1. The tool can be written in a framework that "wiki", "whois",
"man", "calc" and "dic" are scriptable plugins, and everyone can
contribute plugin or just download them from the Internet the same
way they download themes (with security consideration of course);
2. Each "plugin" can have their regular expression matching selected
text. e.g. if you select an ip address, the tool can even suggest
to use 'whois' extension or just activate 'whois' extension if
that was configured the default action for
[0-9]{1,3}[.][0-9]{1,3}[.][0-9]{1,3}[.][0-9]{1,3}
3. Even if default action activates one extension, user can still
type something to get other extensions activated. This allow a
Chinese user configure "English dictionary" as default extension,
while any time a word is selected and "menu" key is pressed, the
word is put to Chinese and the bubble wait for further commands.
4. Allow bubbles without any selection (could be fortune(1) message).
5. Allow bubbles when selecting a file (multiple ways to open the
file or even type a command to process the file).
6. Allow typing any console command and the selected text will be
used as last parameter (e.g. user type "ping") or piped in as
stdin (e.g. user type "sort <"). After execution, stdout is shown
in the bubble and also pre-selected for pasting. This makes it
easy to pick a price table in an email and instantly get output of
products less than 50 USD by typing an one-line awk script. This
idea would bring +100 extension in one shot and make commandline
elites really fall in love with gnome.
7. extensions can be written to use local database, e.g.
/usr/share/dic which is available by default in FreeBSD, for
English words. And better be local, because unlike Firefox, gnome
is expected to work offline.
8. Let's name it either for being ubiquity in the universe.

What do you think?

ABI compliance checker

2009-08-07T09:32:15Z

Colleagues, I'm software engineer from Institute for System
Programing of Russian Academy of Sciences and we are developing a free
lightweight tool for checking backward/forward binary compatibility of
shared C/C++ libraries in OS Linux. It checks interface signatures and
data type definitions in two library versions (headers and shared
objects) and searches ABI changes that may lead to incompatibility.
We have released 1.2 version of this tool and we'd like you to consider
its usefulness for your project.
The wiki-page with the latest release of binary compatibility checker is

mount_removed signal for USB umount

2009-08-06T06:52:20Z

Hi,

Nautilus receives mount_removed signal, whenever we mount any removable media device from nautilus. I would like to know who delivers this signal.

This issue I have is,

On some machines, this signal is delivered and on some other machines its not delivered. Following is the test case to try for

1. Plug-in USB.
2. Open Nautilus
3. Select Tree/Places view in the side pane.
4. Right-click on the media plugged in and select Unmount.

Expected result: After unmounting the the device should be removed from the side pane. The sequence is g_mount_unmount is called by Nautilus to unmount. I could see nautilus registered for mount_removed signal. Upon receiving the signal, the media entry in the side pane will be removed. This is what I understood from code.

But, on some machines, unmount happens successfully, but the media entry in the side pane is not removed. By debugging, I found that the signal mount_removed is not getting delivered.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to debug and fix this issue?

Thanks,
Ravee

Getting started with JHBuild

2009-07-16T07:36:56Z

Hi, I'm trying to get started with JHBuild, and I'm not quite sure what
to do about modules that don't compile.

According to the buildbot ( http://build.gnome.org/ ), several modules
currently don't build (including gtk+ and gst-plugins-base).

When I first started, gst-plugins-base wasn't building, but gtk+ was. I
figured that I would just wait for gst-plugins-base to get fixed, and
then I'd be good to go, and if any modules (like gtk+) started breaking,
then I would still have working versions of them.

Now that gtk+ has broken, I can't see a way to tell it to use the older
checkout that worked (skipping to the install phase when the compile
stage fails doesn't work). So at this point I figured that I was
probably doing it wrong.

How does everyone go about getting a working gnome from source that they
can hack on? Ideally, I'd like a jhbuild mode which will try older and
older revisions of a module until it gets one that compiles, unless I've
specifically told it not to for a particular module (where that module
is the one I'm currently working on).

Andy

Did a 64 bit binary get built? or a 32 bit.
probably an elf dump can give you that answer.
if it shows 32 bit, we can guess why it went there.

Compiling libORBIT

2009-06-30T10:50:44Z

Hello all.

I just tried to compile libORBIT on my newly installed Slackware 12.2 64
bit distro. Configure/compile went well, but install installed
in /usr/lib, instead of lib64. ldd libORBIT-2.so lists all connections to
libraries that _are_ in /usr/lib64.

Do I need an extra step to direct the new library to the correct
directory?

TIA,
John

I am not sure of the usage of "notification area" since it is not only used for notifying battery status, date/time, weather, etc. but also by applications like RhythmBox, Pidgin, etc. RhythmBox shows passive desktop notification when a song changes, pidgin doesn't do any notifications except for icon changes w.r.t to status change.

Artha doesn't really "notify" the user; it responds to the user's

Pre-unmount was actually only implemented very recently, so you need

Yes, for this to work you must be running the glib mainloop.

Dear Nicolas

Please provide more information to let us help you.

What version of libUnique are you trying to use?
How did you build and install it?
Why it's not the latest released one?
How do you link the library?

Libuniqueapp: undefined reference to `org_gnome_GUniqueAppInterface_send_message'

2009-05-28T22:32:15Z

Hello,

I would like use the libuniqueapp library, but it doesn't link with my application:

liblibguniqueapp.so: undefined reference to `org_gnome_GUniqueAppInterface_send_message'

I compile with the waf build system, but if I delete this function, it works fine.

What is the problem?

Re: [Announce] Artha - Handy off-line English thesaurus with regex search feature released!

2009-05-25T23:41:52Z

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your input! I am not sure of the usage of "notification area" since it is not only used for notifying battery status, date/time, weather, etc. but also by applications like RhythmBox, Pidgin, etc. RhythmBox shows passive desktop notification when a song changes, pidgin doesn't do any notifications except for icon changes w.r.t to status change. What is the difference between them and Artha? Artha notifys the user with the definition of a word, when you select it and press the assigned hot key. I don't see the difference here, in the way you do. Can you please explain it so I can correct it?

Thanks for your time!

Regards
Sundaram

An offline tool for this is kinda cool, but it should be noted that
applications should not sit in the notification area, it is *not* a
'tray'. It really should just be a standalone app, you may make a
separate panel applet if you desire (or even better, write a deskbar
plugin).

[Announce] Artha - Handy off-line English thesaurus with regex search feature released!

2009-05-22T03:07:12Z

Dear friends,
I am glad to announce release 0.9.1 of Artha ~ A handy off-line English thesaurus/dictionary based on WordNet with regular expressions based search feature added to it with this release.

Artha houses distinct features like global hot key look-ups, regular expressions based search to locate a vaguely known word, passive desktop notifications, suggestions for misspelled words, etc. Once executed, it sits on the system tray monitoring for a pre-set hot key combination. When the user selects text from any window and presses this hot key, Artha pops-up with the word looked up. Should the user prefer passive notifications over the app. popping-up, Artha's 'Notify' option does this. Apart from showing definitions, it also shows Synonyms, Antonyms, Derivatives, Similar Terms, Attributes, Domain Terms, Pertainyms and 5 more. When a word is misspelled, it shows spelling suggestions too.

Download (src and binaries):
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=250410

Code (release 0.9.1):
svn co http://artha.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/artha/tags/0.9.1

Thanks!

P.S.: This is my first open-source application. Thanks for all the support you guys gave me!

Call for invitations to be the host of GNOME.Asia Summit 2009

2009-05-15T02:20:52Z

Hi,

We are soliciting proposals for hosting GNOME.Asia 2009. The GNOME.Asia Summit is planned to be an annual GNOME event hosted in Asia. We started the GNOME.Asia Summit in 2008 and we want to continue this tradition and spread GNOME throughout the Asian region.

The GNOME.Asia Summit will focus primarily on the GNOME desktop including both applications and the development platform in addition to larger GNOME-related community in Asia. The Summit brings together the GNOME community in Asia to provide a forum for users, developers, foundation leaders, governments and businesses to discuss a varied range of topics relating to GNOME and the GNOME community in Asia. Learn more about GNOME.Asia Summit from our website at http://www.gnome.asia/en/

The Summit has an active committee to assist the local coordinators, but there is a definitive need for individuals actively involved and committed to the planning and execution of the Summit. There are challenges to work through but the process can be a very rewarding and a lot of fun.

GNOME.Asia is much like a tiny seed we want to grow into a tree in Asia. We are looking for local organizers in any Asian country with the desire to take on and succeed in the challenges of organizing an excellent GNOME event.

The following two links are "must read items" for GUADEC, the European model for the Summit. It has also worked well for GNOME.Asia Summit organizers :

How to: http://live.gnome.org/GuadecPlanningHowTo?highlight=(guadec)|(howto)
Check list: http://live.gnome.org/GuadecPlanningHowTo/CheckList

You will also find the template of GNOME.Asia Summit 2008 Proposal is very helpful:
Download the proposal template from: http://www.gnome.asia/static/upload/document/GNOME_Asia_Summit_proposal.pdf

Dear GNOME friends

For those of you who would like to host the next GNOME.Asia Summit in 2009 you are hereby invited to write a formal invitation to the GNOME.Asia Committee list (asia-summit-list@...) regarding your ideas for this years signature Asian GNOME event! The deadline for submitting the proposal is 15th, June, 2009.

If you have any questions about the process or ideas you'd like to discuss before submitting a proposal, you can reach us at asia-summit-list@....

Thanks,
GNOME.Asia Summit Committee

Can sysprof generate in-kernel callgraphs?

2009-05-04T03:21:02Z

Hi,

Is it possible to get in-kernel callgraphs when profiling with
sysprof, and if so how can it be used?
I've installed debug packages for my kernel, however I still only get
"in kernel: xy%" displayed, without any further information where the
time has been spent inside the kernel.

Thank you in advance, Clemens Eisserer

Thanks for your help. I found out how to get a GVolumeMonitor reference
with Python, but the situation is now even worse. I tried connecting to
all signals of GVolumeMonitor, but this time I get only "mount-added"
and "mount-removed". Still no pre-unmount, and no drive-(dis)connected
(I have yet to find out what "volume-(dis)connected" means here). I
managed to get the "unmounted" signal of a GMount returned by above
signals, but that's too late; I need to be able to write to the
filesystem being unmounted.

Also, I noticed that the output of e.g. get_mounts() in my app does
never change. I.e. this code snippet:

#!/usr/bin/python
import gio, time
while True:
print gio.volume_monitor_get().get_mounts()
time.sleep(1)

will always show the state when it was invoked, but will never display
new mounts and keep displaying mount which where removed in the meantime.

Can you help me again?

Thanks,
Andreas

You only get volume-pre-unmount when unmounting via gnome-vfs. And
unfortunately, everything in the desktop now unmounts via gio, so you
need to use that to get this.

GVfs has no bindings, because it doesn't have an API, its purely an
extension of glib. All the API is in gio (in glib), which is availible
at least in the python bindings.

Help needed with using gnomevfs/gvfs

2009-04-23T01:10:55Z

Hello,

I need to write a small app which will catch volume mounts and unmounts
as well as drive insertions/removal.

I have written a Perl daemon for that, which hooks to the signals
"drive-connected", "drive-disconnected", "volume-mounted" and
"volume-pre-unmount" of a Gnome2::VFS::VolumeMonitor object. Getting
"volume-mounted" or the disk signals works just fine, but I never get
"volume-pre-unmount".

I have no idea why, I already asked on the gtk2-perl mailing list but
got no answer. In addition, I noticed that I am not getting
"drive-connected" any more und Ubuntu Jaunty when the drive in question
contains no recognized file system. This is bad because one use for this
app is to auto-mount TrueCrypt encrypted volumes.

I suspect this has to do with deprecation of GnomeVFS, but Python and
Perl (the languages I know best) bindings for GVFS seem to not exist or
are badly documented.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks, Andreas

The patch is attached to Bug 550563:

This patch fixes that bug (metadata), some markup fixes, including

I went ahead and committed a releaseinfo marking the
document as "review". Let's get these changes in and
the document reviewed before 2.26.1.

Paul and any other documentation folks: please submit
reviews or patches to bugzilla and ping the mailing
list. I or someone else will try to look over them
as quickly as possible.

Everybody please note that gnome-terminal has branched,
so you should work from the gnome-2-26 branch:

svn.gnome.org/svn/gnome-terminal/branches/gnome-2-26

Anybody committing patches should make sure to commit
them to both gnome-2-26 and trunk.

Behdad and Christian, could one of you do a technical
review of the documentation please? You're looking for
technical accuracy and completeness. What we need to
know from you is whether everything the documentation
says is true, and whether it covers any new features
that may have been added. You don't need to worry
about language or markup.

Thanks for your time.
