TARBALLS DUE: GNOME 3.12.1
Hello all, Isn't running 3.12 sweet? Did you see the comments? Christian Schaller collected some, full of superlatives, have a look: http://blogs.gnome.org/uraeus/2014/04/02/gnome-3-12-release-comments/ But it doesn't end there, the new step is the 3.12.1 update release, and we need tarballs on Monday: Tarballs are due on 2014-04-14 before 23:59 UTC for the GNOME 3.12.1 newstable release, which will be delivered on Wednesday. Modules which were proposed for inclusion should try to follow the unstable schedule so everyone can test them. Please make sure that your tarballs will be uploaded before Monday 23:59 UTC: tarballs uploaded later than that will probably be too late to get in 3.12.1. If you are not able to make a tarball before this deadline or if you think you'll be late, please send a mail to the release team and we'll find someone to roll the tarball for you! For more information about 3.11, the full schedule, the official module lists and the proposed module lists, please see our colorful 3.11 page: http://www.gnome.org/start/unstable For a quick overview of the GNOME schedule, please see: http://live.gnome.org/Schedule Cheers, Fred ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
Re: Power switch to actually turn off my computer
Everybody tells me the configuration for the power button is stored in the dconf database. But that's a per-user database, isn't it? Who is the user when nobody is logged on? Does it use the root's dconf? Does the dconf database handler for the root always run, even when there's no root desktop up? ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

Who is the user when nobody is logged on? Jasper already answered you in the parent mail: There's multiple cases for nobody is logged in. If you're running a display manager like gdm, gnome-settings-daemon is also running, which enforces the policy for shutdown. gdm runs as a special gdm user, which has its own dconf profile, so you have to configure the dconf setting for the gdm user separately at that case. Does it use the root's dconf? Does the dconf database handler for the root always run, even when there's no root desktop up? So the answers would be no, and no. ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

If you want to build your own private distro then that is up to you to do the leg work! certain components are considered hard deps for GNOME, this includes logind, upower, gnome-setttings-daemon, and many more, you can't just drop these and still expect things to work!

Re: Power switch to actually turn off my computer
There are two command line programs that could help you to discover what to do. Shutdown and Reboot. You can, if you have a shell command, issue them at programmatically. Or, you can put your shutdown command into a crontab, and have the shutdown scheduled to occur at a prescribed time and date.
