[orca-list] gnome 3.10 and orca



hey have any of you played with the new gnome 3.10 yet? well I ran
sudo yum upgrade && sudo yum update

and got a bunch of updates including to orca 3.10 gnome 3.10 more of a stable version and other stuff and bug fixes this morning! For some reason the 64bit one won't boot on my dell latitude but the 32bit OS works fine it shows I have 3.5gb of ram. that's ok with me. anyways to shut down I found I have to hit control alt delete because there is no shut down or power off option on the top bar in gnome shell 3.10. also I mistyped my localhost name when installing, how do I fix that? yum is quite easy for me to use. It is a bit like apt-get and other package managers. There are some more keyboard shortcuts for orca in the web browser in 3.10 and I love the calendar on the top bar feature that is so cool. wish ms-windows did that but oh well. Fedora20 alpha 4 was easy to get installed. I just had to make it repartition the hard drive and it went off and installed it for me, then I set up the user accounts and was up and running with less bugs after updating of course. when updating it is best to use terminal until you get orca 3.10 in there otherwise it'll lock up a bit. If only I had some recording equipment I would do a podcast for you guys on gnome 3.10 and what I have discovered so far about it. Manjaro has been giving me trouble, but so far the canonical distros and fedora are working great so I will use those. after all fedora will get me familiar with red-hat type distros which could land me a good job in the future. I'm typing this on the vinux4 laptop though. I'm gunna get rid of empathy and evolution in fedora 20 alpha though and if thunderbird is not in there then I will install it, probably will just use yum its easier than trying to mess about with packagekit. who knows maybe that became more useable after the big major update that came down this morning. I'll see I guess. This is fun playing with alpha software! I wont put it on my main working laptop though and definitely won't give it to my son to use. If he wants to play with it we can just share the testing laptop with the alpha OS running on it.
