include LibreOffice by default
by Kamil Paral 13 Dec '12

13 Dec '12

I would like to bring your attention to this bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=880653 Since you're the maintainers of Fedora Desktop spin, could you please put your opinion into that bug report? I believe there is no reason to have LibreOffice on the DVD and not install it by default. It just wastes user bandwidth (it has to be downloaded from the Internet later) and time. Office suite is something that 99% of users need. Also it is a regression from Fedora 17. A related thing is the question of LibreOffice on LiveCD. We were not able to put it there in the past because of the space constraints. But in Fedora 18 the target size went from 700 MB to 1 GB. We can now have it and install it by default for everyone using LiveCDs (probably much larger user base than DVD users). The only required action is to modify the relevant file in spin-kickstarts and send the patch upstream. Thoughts?

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed if -- on f18 -- that the gnome3 overview takes a few seconds to show up for the first time after logging in. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687849 cheers, ryanlerch

Gnome desktop after software update
by Harry van Rijn 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

After I made a software update for Fedora 17, the Gnome desktop has changed afterwards. In my previous desktop there was a favourites bar, an Activities item and so on. Now this all disappeared and I have the 'classical' desktop with an 'Applications' and 'Locations' item. I want the prevuous desktop with the favourites, Activites ... back. How?

Shotwell replaced?
by Bastien Nocera 26 Nov '12

Heya, It looks like shotwell isn't on the LiveCD anymore. Is it intentional for F18? If so, I'd need to modify shared-mime-info to use whatever the new image viewer is. Cheers

Gnome 3.6: hibernating and lid settings
by Ankur Sinha 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi folks, I see that the lid closing settings have been removed from the tweak tool. Unfortunately, my system doesn't suspend properly, and I rely completely on hibernate currently :( (Bug filed here[1]). I was wondering if there are command line methods to: - set my lid closing event to hibernate - hibernate my system from gnome (without having to login as root and use systemctl hibernate) I understand that this isn't as per the design intent for gnome3, but as you can see, a broken suspend makes this a special case scenario. -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary.

Modifying mail account preferences for online accounts in gnome 3.6
by Ankur Sinha 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

Hi folks, I just updated to Fedora 18 (couldn't wait any more for Gnome 3.6). It looks pretty good. I had a query though: I use my google account as one of my online accounts. Previously, I could make modifications to the mail preferences for this gmail account in evolution such as my default signature, a gpg signing key, default reply to etc. In gnome 3.6 though, when I try to make changes in evolution, it says "Data source is not writable". How would one set these things then? -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary. Looking to contribute to Fedora?
