Graphical artifacts during GDM login
by Michael Schwendt 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

This is still an issue with F22, and I'd like a hint on where to report it. Which component? Different video adapters are affected. For me it's ATI Radeon. After logging in via GDM, lots of small rectangular areas appear at the bottom of the screen until GNOME Shell apears. They are filled with what seems to be old contents from the video memory. It doesn't look pretty, because it looks like corruption.

Lock screen wallpaper
by Michael Catanzaro 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Hi, For the past couple of releases we have defaulted to a Fedora desktop background alongside the upstream GNOME lockscreen wallpaper. I do like the upstream lock screen background, but I'd prefer if it would match the desktop background by default, instead of having two wallpapers that were clearly designed separately and not intended to be used together. Any opposition to using the Fedora background for the lock screen as well? This means the art would be the same for both, unless the Fedora background folks come up with a different wallpaper for the lock screen. Also, a question: *where* does this setting exist? I was expecting a gschema override in gsettings-desktop-schemas, or maybe a patch to gnome-backgrounds, but I can't find it anywhere. Michael

Removal of FB Chat from GOA
by Jiri Eischmann 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

Hi, is there any plan to remove FB Chat from GOA either downstream or upstream? Facebook is discontinuing the XMPP API in two days and advises 3rd party applications to remove the FB chat support from apps to avoid broken experience: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat Jiri

2015-04-28 @ 1600 UTC Fedora Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

# F22 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2015-04-28 # Time: 1600 UTC # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net Sorry for the mix-up yesterday - apparently we do have blockers to review! So I'm proposing we do it at the usual time today, 04-28. If enough people show up, we can blow through the list, otherwise we'll try and re-schedule it for another day. We have 9 proposed Final blockers to go through. As usual, we're meeting at 1600 UTC. The full list can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F22 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting [0] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Release_Criteria -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Re: Apps missing symbolic icons

Any chance you would be able to take care of that one? If we only have one app missing an icon on release day, that is OK, but it would be dandy if we could get to that last one. I will try to handle these using Jakub's icons: Boxes Install to Hard Drive LibreOffice Calc LibreOffice Draw LibreOffice Impress LibreOffice Writer Problem Reporting (abrt) Shotwell

High contrast symbolic icon for Firefox
by Paul W. Frields 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

To Whom It May Concern, I serve on a steering group for the Workstation edition of the Fedora community Linux distribution. To fix and enhance the edition's coherent appearance, group members are working on coverage of our applications' symbolic icon set. We're doing this in partnership with the GNOME project upstream. The Firefox icon that appears in place of a symbolic icon is currently the full color logo. However, that appearance is inconsistent with the other symbolic icons in the environment. Symbolic icons are used in a few specific locations in the desktop environment, such as the top-most application menu, to align with the overall visual theme of the environment. You can find information on these symbolic icons here: <https://developer.gnome.org/hig/stable/icons-and-artwork.html#custom-symbol…> You can also see a set of symbolic icons used in upstream GNOME here: <https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-icon-theme-symbolic/tree/master/gnome/scalab…> We seek permission to create and package a Firefox symbolic icon, subject to Mozilla approval, to include in Fedora Workstation. -- Paul W.

Instant Messaging in Fedora Workstation
by Jiri Eischmann 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Hi, Empathy, which is our default IM client, has been dead upstream for some time, so I'd like to start a discussion about what instant messaging experience should look like in Fedora Workstation. I've already written two blog posts about it. The goal of the first one was to describe the situation and collect input from users: https://eischmann.wordpress.com/2015/04/19/instant-messaging-in-fedora-work… The second one already works with user feedback from two surveys: https://eischmann.wordpress.com/2015/04/24/instant-messaging-in-fedora-work… It pretty much comes down to a question if we want to build a well integrated multi-protocol client (continuing with Empathy/Pidgin, or starting GNOME Chat) or if we should give it up and embrace all those popular, unfortunately mostly closed services (Skype, Messenger, Hangouts, Telegram...) and make them as integrated in the desktop as possible. The latter would probably clash a bit with one of our 4 foundation - freedom. Jiri
