LVM in default filesystem layout
by Christian Schaller 06 May '15

06 May '15

Hi, So I just noticed that an a fresh install system I did of the latest FW22 beta the filesystem gets set up with LVM. I thought this was one of the changes we had done to the Workstation compared to the server image for instance, to not use LVM? If we haven't done so already I think we should since we don't really have any UI tools for editing LVM partitions (that said I realize it might be to big a change to push in last minute for 22, so at least for FW23.

icon-masking in gnome
by Rudra Banerjee 06 May '15

06 May '15

Hi, I am a longtime fedora and gnome enduser. I want to propose icon masking facility for unthemed desktop icon, as it is very common in android. I talked to such a icon developer (Numix) and I was told that this is not supported in linux. Is there any work on this? Regards, RudraB

I think the number of disks does not matter. For a number of years, I have used a python application controlling rdiff-backup to perform unattended backups on several workstations and servers. The snapshot feature of LVM makes reliable backups possible with no manual effort. Most of my systems have mdadm raid encrypted physical volumes but LVM snapshots work fine on a single disk.

Packaging differences for Workstation
by Paul W. Frields 04 May '15

04 May '15

A round of applause and thanks for Stephen Gallagher please! He recently got a packaging guideline approved that allows Fedora packages to vary by product/edition: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Per-Product_Configuration I wanted to propagate here, since this might be of use for future package releases in F23. I would *not* recommend making any changes to Fedora 22 packages at this time, we're too close to F22 Final -- just Rawhide/F23. * * * P.S. Stephen advised there may be a minor technical change for upstreamability in systemd, but still, it's a Good Thing(tm). -- Paul W.

Ascension - Open Source Game Launcher
by Diogo Campos 02 May '15

02 May '15

I think this is, at least, interesting: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/reddit-users-want-replace-steam-open-source-game-l… Worth the read? Worth investigating? Worth contacting them? Worth encourage them? Worth helping them? Worth try to influencing them to something? Worth try to "merge" this effort with "GNOME Games"? Any other thoughts about this?

Clicking appointments in top notification bar doesn't open evolution calendar in F22?
by Ankur Sinha 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hi, IIRC, in F21, clicking events on the calendar in the top panel used to open up evolution in calendar mode (or was there a button to open calendar?). Nothing of this sort in F22 now? I think it was pretty handy :) -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha
