More space saving ideas
by Kevin Fenzi 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

It seems we need to free up more space to get to the 700mb target, even if libgcj gone. ;( Some other ideas: -evince +xpdf This also lets us remove nautilus, so -20MB +3=-17MB -inkscape Yes, it's a lovely program, but the design-suite has it now and someone can install it if they need it. It and it's deps saves us: 63MB Any other thoughts? kevin

Spin kickstart commit
by Kevin Fenzi 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

I removed the java group and just added the plugin. This should save us about 62MB worth of libgcj on the spin. kevin -- commit 051abde97339c59d9a45a3cefa69f7914983f4db Author: kevin <kevin(a)tummy.com> Date: Tue Mar 23 11:05:21 2010 -0600 Remove java group and just include the plugin we want diff --git a/fedora-livecd-xfce.ks b/fedora-livecd-xfce.ks index 055ab51..90a0673 100644 --- a/fedora-livecd-xfce.ks +++ b/fedora-livecd-xfce.ks @@ -64,7 +64,8 @@ parole-mozplugin xfburn # More Desktop stuff -@java +# java plugin +java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin NetworkManager-vpnc NetworkManager-openvpn NetworkManager-gnome

xscreensaver
by Kevin Fenzi 17 Mar '10

17 Mar '10

I am going to switch the spin and add to the comps group xscreensaver for Xfce instead of gnome-screensaver. This is due to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=570380 So, questions: 1. Does anyone know how to disable xscreensaver from the command line? The spin has a gconf line to disable this for gnome-screensaver. I assume it's to prevent locking when you are on live as there is no password for the liveuser anyhow. Or should we just leave it enabled? 2. Can anyone confirm that if gnome-screensaver and xscreensaver are both installed Xfce prefers/starts/uses xscreensaver? I think it should, but I am not 100% sure. 3. Do we need to make any changes to the prefs setup to only deal with xscreensaver? Anything else anyone can think of we need to do for this change? kevin

Gdm Lxdm
by Frank Murphy 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

On an F14(Rawhide) box have just removed gdm, installed lxdm. Unlike Slim, Lxdm has the ability to set language. yum erase gdm pulled 3 more files out with it. Working fine so far. Maybe another step in the De-Gnoming of the spin? -- Regards, Frank Murphy UTF_8 Encoded, Fedora 12, 13, Rawhide: x86_64

12 Mar '10

Greetings everyone. Welcome to the Fedora Xfce list. I'd like to use this list to coordinate Xfce SIG activities and discuss Xfce in Fedora. User comments/suggestions welcome as well as developer input. :) I'd like to start doing SIG meetings on IRC around once a month as well. Christoph has setup a matix for people to say when they might best be available. If you are interested in attending, please go fill out: http://whenisgood.net/xfce-sig Hopefully this will make it easier to get feedback from users and new people helping out. Thanks! kevin
