More space on the Xfce spin
by Christoph Wickert 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

Yesterday XZ compression hit rawhide and the nightly spins dropped from ~694 MB (i686) / 695 MB (x86_64) to 567 / 568 MB. Now the question is: What are we going to do with this space? What would you like to see in the F15 Xfce spin? Some suggestions: * libreoffice, at least writer, calc and impress * gnumeric again (if we don't do libreoffice) * more remmina-plugins: ATM we only have ssh, rdp and vnc, but xdmcp, telepathy and nx are available, too * more development stuff, e.g. meld and more geany-plugins * games, e.g. gnome-games? More ideas? Regards, Christoph

XFCE 4.8.1 packages are being released. Will there be 4.8.1 packages available for Fedora 15/Rawhide? Or are there any new XFCE packages planned? -- David

Xfce documentation and Wiki Ideas
by Brock Hudson 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

I would like to first respond to Nathan's email, "Not everyone who uses Fedora has easy, unlimited to access to the internet, so at some point we need to get the new Xfce guide available in some downloadable form. But the wiki is definitely a good place to develop the guide." Great point, never thought about that, we should absolutely cater to those individuals. As far as the format, I'm not really a fan of PDF but I am sure individuals in the mailing lists have some ideas on how to make this portable for users. Upon brainstorming, I thought that perhaps we use wiki as our testing grounds for what goes into the Official Documentation. We can all decide what makes it in, and while transferring it to Official Documentation we can also create portable formats for users. I think we should branch Wiki documentation into two areas, Stable and Rawhide, because I know some users already compile and use the newest releases and updates for Fedora and we can get a jump start on Rawhide Documentation by allowing those individuals to contribute in that wiki. Rawhide documentation could then transfer into stable after review and finally transfer to official docs prior to Rawhide's release.

Regarding XFCE wiki page
by Brock Hudson 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

Regarding this page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Xfce, I noticed that it gives only two options, installing Xfce via yum and using the spin cd. Would it be appropriate to include the DVD, I know by default it doesn't include Xfce but adding 1 additional repository before installation allows you install more than just KDE and Gnome. Could I possibly edit this?

Xfce on installation cd Wiki page
by Brock Hudson 19 Jan '11

A rough draft of the page is up on my user page. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Escapingsummer I know my user page is bare bones, bare with me I am a college student :) Please any feedback would be appreciated.

Interested in Helping
by Brock Hudson 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

Hello, I have been an avid user of both XFCE and Fedora. I was wondering if I could possibly enlist to help out in the XFCE SIG? I am currently looking to help with XFCE itself as a developer and help with Documentation. I also wanted to do my part for my favourite distribution as well. Please any information you could give me would be great.

Conky troubles
by Suvayu Ali 08 Jan '11

08 Jan '11

Hi everyone, For a few months now I have been unable to run conky with XFCE. Earlier the following configuration used to work without any problems: background yes ... own_window yes own_window_class Conky own_window_type override own_window_transparent yes But since a few months back this stopped working. I like to have it displayed on all desktops overlayed translucently on the wallpaper, so I tried the options desktop and override. With override I don't get any display at all, with desktop I get a display but it goes away the moment I click on the desktop. I have tried running conky with or without the daemonize/background option with no avail. Anyone has any ideas about what could be the problem here? TIA -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

Default wallpaper for the f15 Xfce spin?
by Johannes Lips 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

Hey, I recently stumbled over the discussion including the default gnome 3 wallpaper in the fedora livecd desktop. I think recently the fedora design team agreed to use it. http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2011-01-04/fedora-design.201… Perhaps we should also step in and say that we would use the wallpaper which will be produced by the design team just to show our support and appreciation for their work. Is this ok for all of us? All the best, Johannes

nm-applet
by Marcus Moeller 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

Hi all, I am currently testing the latest 4.8 builds from Christoph. I am starting the session either with startxfce4 or from GDM. Now I am trying to get nm-applet to work but it fails to connect to a network with the following error: Connection was not provided by any settings service. I thought it was a ConsoleKit problem so i tried to launch exec ck-launch-session startxfce4 But without any luck. Kind Regards Marcus
