Fedora 16 / GNOME 3.2 Test Day?
by Adam Williamson 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Hey, folks. So, would it be a good idea to have a GNOME 3.2 Test Day some time after we land 3.1.90, to test out the major new features and ensure we catch any serious bugs before we get too frozen? I think we could put one together based on the 3.0 Test Days pretty easily, and I'd be happy to do so if you folks think it would be worthwhile. We don't have any really awesome Thursday slots left - the remaining open slots are pretty late in the cycle - but we can always make a Tuesday slot, so it's no real problem. If you could let me know if you think it'd be a good idea, and roughly when looks like a good time to do it, that'd be great. thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

Gnome session analyze tool
by Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Is there some tool like the fancy systemd analyze Lennart wrote that exist in the wild for Gnome sessions? It would be a bit interesting to see what causes such a long log into Gnome desktop from gdm time and I think it safe to say that the expectation of the time it takes for you to log in is less than it takes for you to boot up into gdm. ( which can be pretty fast with tweaked systemd ) The ones of you that are familiar with gnome-session-properties and do blog might want to blog about what each item does and what the side effects are from disabling it of course some of those are bleeding obvious what they are for others are vague to say the least. Thanks JBG

Any gotchas for packaging libsoupmm?
by Bruno Wolff III 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

I got a request to package libsoupmm for Fedora and am looking into potential issues with doing that before committing to do this. Since that source seems to be tied to gnome-2.28, I thought it would be a good idea to ask people working with gnome 3 in Fedora if packaging it was going to be a problem. The purpose of the library is to provide c++ bindings for the libsoup library. Do you know of any gotchas that packaging this would have with respect to gnome 3?

Ugly looking icons at fedora-icon-theme on Xfce
by Heiko Adams 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, I've migrated my desktop from Gnome to Xfce for several reasons some days ago. But currently I've got an optical problem: The fedora-icon-theme and the echo-icon-theme seem to not provide an icon for the bluetooth- and pulseaudio-applet and the black default icon from the gnome-icon-theme looks absolutely ugly on Xfce. Am I the only one with this problem? - -- Regards, Heiko Adams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iF4EAREIAAYFAk5AVhYACgkQ/zGbOvPHkcLLlAD+PzkenlLdxPIXsVLZahVOE9P0 qAQ+BBseUNHyS0qLvf0A/A1LBz30//5Fd7l4o6Us98edVJAXpIjuhjS9QzWRo+n8 =BsrV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

F16 Alpha RC4 desktop validation: please help out!
by Adam Williamson 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hey, folks. So, we've just spun the latest F16 Alpha RC, which you can get here: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16-Alpha.RC4/Live/ (DVD / boot.iso are a level up). It's desktop validation time! I didn't notify you all of the earlier TCs / RCs as they were all quite obviously broken, but we're hoping RC4 will be the one. There's only two desktop validation tests (per desktop) that are critical to Alpha release, but it's good to get through some of the others too so we can get ahead of ourselves on Beta / Final fixes. So, if you have a bit of spare time, it'd be great if you could grab an image and help fill out the test results page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_16_Alpha_RC4_Desktop that'd be a great help. Thanks! LXDE not included on the mail because we don't have an LXDE image yet, I believe there's an issue preventing compose; I'll look into that. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

GNOME updates for F16
by Matthias Clasen 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi, I have started to build GNOME 3.1.4 updates for F16 on Monday. Unfortunately, the branching cut in right between me building a soname-bumping cogl and everything that depends on it. I have now established a side target, f16-gnome, for building interdependent updates without the forced wait due to updates-testing. I think I got all cogl dependencies in the desktop rebuilt, and have filed a bodhi update with all those builds. There is still more 3.1.4 updates to do, and I am going on vacation tomorrow, so it would be great if other people (Richard, Tomas, Colin ?) could chime in and get the remaining builds done. Don't forget that a) you must switch to the f16 branch in git b) we have to file bodhi updates for all F16 builds now c) you can use f16-gnome for building a set of updates (koji build --target f16-gnome ...), and then tag them into f16-updates-candidate afterwards (koji tag-pkg f16-updates-candidate ...) d) the alpha freeze is coming up next Tuesday Thanks, and hope to see some of you in Berlin soon Matthias
