Disable/remove "libsocialweb-core"
by Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 29 Nov '11

29 Nov '11

Given that I've noticed that "libsocialweb-core" is very keen on speaking to "r-199-59-148-87.twttr.com" A.K.A twitter on port 443 without me as little as have configured twitter account let alone having any "online accounts" configured in Gnome which makes one wonder what the hell they are chatting about I would very much like to know how I can disable it all together since I cant remove this from my computer without removing gnomeshell along with it. Any particular reason why this was not designed to be an extension/addon/plugin to Gnome3? Thanks JBG

Make Xfce the default desktop
by Gantry York 19 Nov '11

19 Nov '11

Unity has proven to be a huge mis-step for Ubuntu. There is an equal amount of consternation regarding GNOME3-shell. I would strongly recommend that Fedora and Red Hat consider using Xfce as their default desktop. The majority of Fedora/Red Hat users, use GNOME on a computer workstation. I think Fedora and Red Hat have to choose which platform they feel is their niche market: touch pads, or workstations. -- Gantry S. York Digitascio, Inc

What launches notification-daemon?
by Christoph Wickert 16 Nov '11

What launches notification-daemon in F15? dbus? And why is it not started in F16 any longer? The LXDE spin has no notifications and I'm wondering when/why this has changed. Regards, Christoph

Packages for everybody !
by Matthias Clasen 10 Nov '11

10 Nov '11

A number of GNOME modules have been split upstream, and need to be packaged for Fedora 17. Thankfully, the results of the splits should be smaller and more straightforward to package: gnome-utils has exploded into baobab gnome-font-viewer gnome-dictionary gnome-search-tool gnome-system-log gnome-screenshot gnome-dictionary gnome-keyring keeps spawning new libraries, the latest one is gcr seahorse has shed its pgp key sharing component as a standalone seahorse-sharing module and its nautilus extension as seahorse-nautilus I'm hoping to find some people who are willing to take on these small modules - I'll happily do package reviews.

Fedora 16 Final RC4 desktop testing requested
by Adam Williamson 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

Hey folks - sorry to impose on you again, but we accepted two proposed blockers in F16 RC3, so we have an RC4 that needs testing. RC4 also fixes the gdm bug which broke the Xfce spin in RC3. Aside from that, I'd really just expect RC4 results to be the same as RC3, but since RC4 touches kernel, gdm and dracut, we'd better double-check! You can get RC4 here: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16.RC4/ and the results page is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_16_Final_RC4_Desktop Please help out if you can. One way or another this is definitely the last rush job this go-round: either we approve RC4 at the go/no-go tomorrow afternoon, or we slip a week, which would at least give us lots of time to complete testing...but let's not do that! :) Thanks, everyone. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net
