http://forums.fedoraforum.org – In order to answer a qeustion this morning, I ended up having to log into Gnome. <..:Y..> Which brings to mind a question I've had for a while, and never discovered the answer to. In both F16 and F17, when opening Nautilus (files) -- after it eventually pops open, the cursor continues to spin (in "busy" mode) for up to 15 seconds. It doesn't seem to effect navigation, as I finally got disgusted with it and began shoving through it and drilling in further or immediately opening a file or starting an application. My question is, why does it sit there and cogitate so lon (HowTos)

Hello,

I don't know if this is a problem or normal, but I don't remember it.

My laptop running 11.10 currently exhibits the following actions:

a) Opening any directory using Nautilus via Places in GNOME-fallback also opens an "Opening 'Directory'" message window on the bottom panel as well as the directory itself (i.e., opening Documents will open Documents but also cause an additiona

Hi everyone, Gnome 3.4 brought us the ability to see recent documents in the desktop search via gnome shell, but at some point in the last few months, Gnome Documents has become the default program for opening libreoffice documents and .pdfs from the shell as well.

GNOME Shell, a user interface that provides functions for the GNOME 3 desktop environment, has just received a new update and it's now at version 3.7.4.1.

GNOME Shell 3.7.4.1 has been released just a couple of days after the previous version, in the branch that will eventually become GNOME Shell 3.8 and it does pack quite a lot of new features.

Highlights of GNOME Shell 3.7.4.1:

I am running Fedora 17 gnome (shell) 3 and gnome terminal 3.4.1.1.

I am a user of both gnome-terminal and midnight commander. As default gnome-terminal has always used F10 (which I need while using mc), to opening the top menu. So was this time.

I am sure this is a silly question but I can't for the life of me find an answer. Obviously, Gnome3 is capable of organizing applications by category, and when I am in Gnome Classic, of course it does. However, when I am in the new shell this category view disappears.

i am new to Linux and this may be an elemental question but since i am not sure of the terms to search for an answer, i am posting this question:

I think that with cinnamon there is a chance to make Linux a more user friendly desktop environment.

I have install Ubuntu 12.10 and by installing cinnamon 1.61, gnome was installed, now I have in my login screen the following: (I ma not sure if they a

I've been dealing with different regional settings (US, Canada and other locations in English, as well as other countries and languages), but I cannot get Gnome-shell Calendar to begin with Monday, instead of Sunday (see image). I have even modified the "en_US" file in /usr/share/i18n/locales/ (line: first workday: 1). All without success.

hey all --

stupid question.... in gnome-shell certain commands (eg., switching workspaces by key combo) leave me with a crosshair-like mouse cursor rather than an arrow. once it's switched to this, i can't do anything until i click in order to get focus back to whatever i'm doing. it also seems to happen at random sometimes, or when alt-tabbing...

I have Fedora 11 with GNOME. I can create desktop launchers to facilitate mounting remote volumes (e.g., shared folders across a network). GNOME does this by creating ".volume" files (similiar to .desktop files which are application launchers).
