GNOME 3.0
This is a test appliance for GNOME 3.0 : . It uses GNOME 3.0 packages on top of openSUSE 11.4.
there is one predefined user “tux” with password “linux” (same password for root).
You can keep this image updated by running “zypper up” as root, in a terminal
Please note SUSE Studio “Testdrive” feature will not work with this image (which requires openGL), only classic GNOME interface will be visible under TestDrive, not GNOME-Shell.
Chances are high GNOMEShell will not work in virtualized environments (VMWare / Virtualbox) ; if you want to test or install GNOME3 on a real system , please use Live image from http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/ .
Starting with VirtualBox 4.0.8, GNOME Shell should work properly (you need appliance release 1.3.0 minimum). Any issue with VirtualBox should be reported on http://virtualbox.org/
To install live image, add liveinstall parameter as boot parameter in boot menu.

KDE Sucks So Bad!!!
How do you remove all of the opensuse branding?
Sorry, I meant The login part. On this distro, it says linux.site, instead of opensuse 11.4. How do you change that?
he removes the opensuse branding from the software list
Can you give me the name of the package that removes opensuse branding?
lol
teIts Gud 9/10
Its Alright 8/10
better then kde though well done
KDE is way better then Gnome!
is ok not that good loool
This is an excellent release! – You can earn alot of money from this os! – Once the Live installer is working properly you should sell it on CD’s and get money for it! Excellent OS!
can install this onto a hdd without vm
the gnome 3 dosent work why not gnome 2.0 ?
What is teh password for the os here. thanks i hae tryed to run it but no password
no password
i try to install it but it says that my graphics diver isn’t capable, even though it’s a graphics card supported and can play Quacke 3 at 67fps!
Is this GNOME 3.2?
No its not.
Heyy PLZz REpLY ! where is install/remove software ?? or what should i remove n add to get that ?
Hi,
I have 2 question about this release..
I can’t install it on a hard drive. I don’t find the “live install” program. Where is it?
And at the session selection we can use Gnome, IceWM and TWM but TWM doesn’t work. Which package I need to uninstall to don’t see TWM at the first boot of the appliance?
Thank’s a lot
you can’t uninstall twm (it is required by live install)
for live install, try typing “live install” in gnome shell “search” field or type “liveinstall” on the boot prompt.
:) Going to Make Edits to This and Call It Youtube OS and iLove it! I said “I love it” Apple Style! :)Lol
If i use this version i have only fallback mode, if i use the version from gnome.org i can use gnome-shell.
What is the difference?
no difference..
Could you make a version of this that’s barebone? Just GNOME3 and Suse.
Well, clone it and remove applications you don’t like ;)
I Am Cloning This Because my OS B-D OS 11BD480e
I cloned the appliance in order to make my own, well customized version, but I have 2 main problems, the internet doesn’t work, and even running of the live cd on my machine, the desktop breaks and go in fallback mode.
Any kind of help would be very appreciated!
I don’t have the network problem but I also have the fallback mode…
Anyone knows if is possible to clone the appliance???
Would you mind telling me what you did to get the network working? :D
I didn’t do nothing special… It simply works for me … Sorry!
And something really strange! I test the cloned appliance in other computer and the full gnome shell works! (??)
In my computer: Original G3 works, Cloned not works (fallback mode)
In wife laptop: Both work well
I don’t understand nothing!!
possibly to do with your bios setting which cannot detect a abnormal o.s
it cant run most suse studio operating systems but can run red hat, some suse sudio o.s, kde 4, gnome (normal), and others but not ones with select ids such as your own one. (this is for the fallback problem)
for the network problem another package is proably conflicting. remove all included drivers from the o.s and test one by one
The reason the network doesn’t work, you see, is under Technical details/Basic Settings/Network, it says “network_manager,” not DHCP. If you do clone the appliance, which you can do if you are signed in by clicking “Clone appliance” right under the version number (at the top), you might want to change the setting to DHCP.
Fuck.
Lets try to make this a CLEAN community, Thanks
Lets try to make this a DIRTY community, Fucks
Lets try to make this is MIXED community, idiots
:D

Is this supposed to rival Gnome Reloaded?
I hope it is. I’m tired of that guy being up front for so long.
no.
The “GNOME 3” pattern needs to be changed. It doesn’t include everything. It won’t work if I put it in my OS. Please fix this problem if you can.
there is no such pattern
How did you make those folders for each file? Like “Videos, Music,Pictures”
I don’t understand your question. Could you elaborate ?
Like when you goto someones Home Folder, and within it, they have folders for their Music, Videos and Photos Downloads and Documents, I was wondering how you could make all those folders (Music, Videos and Photos Downloads and Documents) with some kind of automated command or package.
This is handled by xdg-user-dics and xdg-user-dirs-gtk packages
Thanks!
this might sound like a dumb question…but how do i change this version to 64bit
use the live images provided at the url given in the summary
HI,
The live version runs well on my netbook on usb stick thanks to suse studio imagewriter but installation is a problem: windows are larger than the screen and no way to navigate thru them or resize.
Only solution is to plug a bigger external screen for install (not yet tried)
first, you should use live image from the url given in the summary.
Then, start the install process by adding liveinstall parameter on boot menu, this should fix your issue.
So What? can anyone fix this problem?
which problem ?
Hasn’t gnome 3 gone final have you updated it for that?
latest release version of the appliance is using GNOME 3 final release
I love it ;-)
i know it has gnome 3 i have seen this distro running but does it gnome shell
please rephrase your question
does this thing have gnome shell whenever I run testdrive it say gnome 3 failed to load yet it looks much different from gnome 2.and please comment on this music(http://www.supermariolegacy.com/Wii/SuperMarioGalaxy/SoundtrackGold/16FloaterLand.mp3)
as explained in the summary, you can’t have gnome shell using testdrive.
I’d like to say thanks to the author, even with all the bugs, I know how hard it all is. if there’s anything I can help with let me know.
I’ve been trying to find a way of using GNOME 3. This is great! Nice job!
After I clone the appliance, it doesn’t even give me a working build, I get an error right after I clone.
Pattern gnome requires pattern:gnome_basis, which is not available
I add the pattern, and it just gives me more errors, and more packages and patterns that I have to add, so how is this appliance working? And is there a fix for any of this?
Hey, I got the same thing too! Please help!
Clone an older version, like 0.0.7
It has a ton of bugs once you install it on a HDD, but on a flash drive or live cd it’s fine, although a bit sluggish.
Don’t use the appliance for installing on a system, use live cd from http://gnome3.org/tryit.html
This is due to switch to NetworkManager 0.9
I’ll try to fix that with next appliance release
Well, this just doesn’t work. I tried with both with the latest Vmware player, and Virtualbox 4.0.4, and there are multiple problems. On VMware everything is super-slow, and when trying to install the linux vmware-tools, the Installation executable can’t find GCC, so it bails out. On VBox, it complaints that I need to change to 32bit color in order to get some acceleration, but there’s no way to do this from either Gnome3 or Gnome2 screen dialogs (they offer no color depth option anymore?). 3D accel is enabled on Vbox’s settings with 64 MB of VRAM, but not 2D accel (it says 2D is only supported on Windows).
Then, there’s the actual usage problem after you have managed to login in fallback mode on gnome3, and everything’s very slow: when I click to open an app on gnome3, all I get is a desktop that has the bar on the top, but there’s no window displaying. The first time an app/desktop is loaded, I get a completely garbled look of an app. But on a subsequent boot, no app is loaded probably: everything is black apart from the bar on the top. This happens on both vbox and vmware, so I’m guessing it’s gnome’s bug.
I like the idea of testing gnome3 on these virtualization apps, but over here they just don’t work properly.
Complain to virtualbox or VMWare. We are not responsible for them not supporting GNOME Shell.
Nice work. I know there is a cd image already in the opensuse repositroies but could you please add the cd
with cloning here for downloading.
this is not possible, since the configuration between CD and studio appliance is slighly different and not stored in suse studio (and CD image is automatically available on all openSUSE mirrors) .
Hmm I an’t get it to run under Ubuntu 10.10 with Virtualbox Virtualbox ose 3.2.8 with an AMD 64 X2 CPU.
During half the boot the window just closes.
Any idea what could be missing?
Virtualbox doesn’t like gnome-shell very much. Try with virtualbox 4.0 but I’m not sure it will work
Can you add an ISO image for CD/DVD, please? ;)
It will be available with next release
Can you enable cloning? And can I base an Appliance off of this if you do? I would like to try gnome shell 3 out.
I’ve disabled cloning on purpose until the image is stabilized a little.
Please report any missing stuff or feature and I’ll update the image.
Thanks you.
