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

Look and Feel of GTK-3 applications
by Marcus Moeller 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Hi all. If you have tested the current F15 composes, you might have noticed that GTK-3 applications does not fit with the rest of the theme design. I have tried to digg a bit into how themes are treated with the latest GTK version and stumbled across: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/unstable/gtk3-Resource-Files.html So from that, I have tried to change the gtk theme by creating a .gtkrc-3.0 which points to a theme using the include statement, but without any luck. Any ideas what I might miss? Greets Marcus

[rawhide] No sound in runlevel 3
by Martin Sourada 27 Feb '11

27 Feb '11

Hi all, (no) thanks to new gdm runlevel 5 no longer works (hope it gets fixed) as means to get to xfce so I tried runlevel 3 and startxfce4, however this way I get no sound. So due to dependency chain I'm unable to update everything related to gtk3 to be able to keep old gdm... Anyone knows what might be the problem and how to solve it? Thanks, Martin

Hi all. Now that Thunar supports a lot of network protocols and handles local media quite will, I would like to ask if it's still necessary to include Gigolo? Greets Marcus

F15 Alpha RC2 available for desktop validation
by Adam Williamson 26 Feb '11

26 Feb '11

Hey, folks - just a note that Alpha RC2 is now available: http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/15-Alpha.RC2/ and help to fill out the desktop validation tests: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_15_Alpha_RC2_Desktop would be greatly welcome. As always, just follow the instructions in the test cases and record your results in the tables, and let me know if you have any trouble or questions. If anyone's wondering about LXDE, it hasn't been spun yet because gmixer was orphaned; we should sort that out with rel-eng. Thanks everyone! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Yikes! Panel disappeared; Won't start from 'settings', either (F14)
by Ron Leach 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

List, good afternoon, Switched on netbook as per usual today, login, but then there's no 'panel'. I can right-click on the desktop, navigate the applications to 'XFCE settings' but when I click on 'panel' nothing happens. (Other settings 'applets' work fine.) I've gone through Display, Desktop, Window manager etc, these settings all seem fine. My guess is the 'panel' applet isn't running. Bit of a problem, because I use the network item on the panel to select a network for connection. Another clue, at login screen, there is a 'panel' which shows language and keyboard selectors. After login, though, the panel disappears and doesn't come back. I know that this is F15 testing day, but hadn't realised my netbook knew, too. :) More seriously, could anybody hint what I should check to see why the panel isn't coming up? I'd like to double check that it isn't caused just by a 'desktop' switch, could anyone also let me know how to switch desktops when the panel isn't there? Sorry for the so-basic questions. Both F13 and F14 have been really reliable for me on netbooks, and so I don't know enough to troubleshoot them. Very many thanks, Ron

by Adam Williamson 17 Feb '11

17 Feb '11

Remember, everyone tomorrow - 2011-02-17 - is Xfce Test Day! F15 will have Xfce 4.8 and this version is in already, so we need lots of testing to make sure it's all working fine. All the test info is on the Wiki page - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-02-17_Xfce - and we'll be in #fedora-test-day to help out and discuss results. Do come along if you have some spare time. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Fedora 15 Alpha TC1 available now: please help with desktop testing
by Adam Williamson 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

A quick heads-up, I have been way behind this week so I wasn't actually aware of this release and haven't had time yet to download and check nightly images at all, so any or all of them may be DOA. Fedora 15 Alpha TC1 is now available! http://serverbeach1.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/15-Alpha.TC1/Fedora/i38… Live images are not up yet but should land soon. When they do, it would be great if people could help out with the desktop validation testing: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_15_Alpha_TC1_Desktop it's the same process as usual. I haven't had time yet to update the test cases for the changes in GNOME 3, so some of them may be a bit odd as applied to GNOME 3, just do your best :) Other desktops don't have major changes from F14 so the tests should apply fine. Do ask if you have any questions. Thanks! I'll post a quick note when the live images land. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net
