Update notifications?
by Heiko Adams 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

Hi, has anyone figured out a way bring back update notifications to Xfce? It getting boring to open yumex or Terminal to do a yum check-update and recognize that there are no updates available. -- Regards, Heiko Adams

Cursor in Terminal
by Todd And Margo Chester 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hi Guys, How do I get my flashing underline cursor back in Terminal. Right now all I get is a block that only highlight when you back arrow over some text. But is invisible at the end of the line. I can not find anything to do with the cursor in Terminal's Preferences. Very frustrating. Many thanks, -T

Reintroduce system-config-lvm and system-config-network to the spin, thoughts?
by Adam Miller 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hey everyone in xfce land! I was thinking about re-introducing system-config-lvm and system-config-network to the spin and I was hoping for feedback. To the best of my knowledge they were pulled for size reasons but I rolled my own liveCD including them this morning (on F15, next I'll try F16) and the resulting ISO is well under the 700mb mark. As always ... questions, comments, and snide remarks welcome! :) -AdamM

Maybe it has been answered somewhere already. Let me just ask (again), why does gdm depend on PackageKit?

LightDM as a GDM replacement?
by Heiko Adams 22 Aug '11

22 Aug '11

Maybe it has been asked some time ago but did anyone take a look at LightDM[1] which sounds like an interesting alternative to gdm? [1] http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/LightDM / https://launchpad.net/lightdm -- Regards, Heiko Adams

F16 Alpha RC4 desktop validation: please help out!
by Adam Williamson 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hey, folks. So, we've just spun the latest F16 Alpha RC, which you can get here: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16-Alpha.RC4/Live/ (DVD / boot.iso are a level up). It's desktop validation time! I didn't notify you all of the earlier TCs / RCs as they were all quite obviously broken, but we're hoping RC4 will be the one. There's only two desktop validation tests (per desktop) that are critical to Alpha release, but it's good to get through some of the others too so we can get ahead of ourselves on Beta / Final fixes. So, if you have a bit of spare time, it'd be great if you could grab an image and help fill out the test results page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_16_Alpha_RC4_Desktop that'd be a great help. Thanks! LXDE not included on the mail because we don't have an LXDE image yet, I believe there's an issue preventing compose; I'll look into that. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

How to get rid of the gnome-sound-applet
by Heiko Adams 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Hello, does anyone have an idea how to get rid of gnome-sound-applet? Removing control-center is not possible because I need gnome-bluetooth. I've tried to disable the gnome-session-properties entry and removing the .desktop file from ~/.config/autostart but nothing seems to work. My current workaround is a crontab which is fired every 5 minutes and tries to kill gnome-sound-applet. -- Regards, Heiko Adams
