How do I tell xfce to use the local timeservers? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

Default apps in live-cd.
by Sergio Cipolla 08 Dec '12

08 Dec '12

I noticed that the Xfce spin has Abiword set to open text/plain. The default is the first option in mimeinfo.cache. In this case: text/plain=fedora-abiword.desktop;fedora-geany.desktop;fedora-leafpad.desktop; So I was thinking that maybe that's the order they are installed (maybe in the kickstart file). If so, maybe we should have a simpler one first (leafpad or geany) and leave Abiword to the end so it only opens those word documents.

lightdm issue in live-cd
by Sergio Cipolla 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hello. Probably because 'Live System User' has no password, lightdm is broken for keyboard navigation in the live-cd. If it had a password, when choosing the user the focus would jump to the password field and then one could hit enter or navigate to the other buttons. The way it is now hitting 'enter' just expands the user options and there's no way to change focus to the 'login' button. Anyway, this seems a limitation of the gtk greeter. Is it planned to skip the DM screen altogether like in previous versions that used gdm?

oversize on f18 again. ;)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853590 Some options: - nuke icedtea-web (this saves 100MB or so, but means people won't be able to test java in the live instance). - seahorse - 7mb - Longer term: split perl deps out of exo and see if we can remove perl? lm_sensors also needs perl, so we would have to drop xfce4-sensors-plugin, but I think it's worth it. That could save us a ton of room down the road. This dep is due exo-compose-mail-1 helper being a perl script. - drop one of firefox or midori. ;) - We really only need a bit of room at this point, so other smaller suggestions? kevin

'Disks' in Xfce spin?
by Sergio Cipolla 25 Nov '12

25 Nov '12

What do you think of adding gnome-disk-utility to the Xfce spin? It's not that big and maybe something could be removed to make room for it? Lately I've been installing it everytime I boot the live-cd as it's pretty easy to activate my encrypted swap with it (if it was by the command-line, I think I would have to use some cryptsetup command plus some other unknown command to do that ;-) ). I guess it's very useful for other live-cd uses too. On a related note, usermode-gtk provides usermount ('Disk Management' in 'System' menu) which AFAIK is useless in default Xfce. Its destop file has 'NotShowIn=GNOME;KDE;' May I open a bug report for it to add 'NotShowIn=GNOME;KDE;XFCE;LXDE;' ? (LXDE also doesn't need it because of pcmanfm, right?)

Is xfce4-mixer detecting the default audio card (pulseaudio) in F18?
by Sergio Cipolla 16 Nov '12

16 Nov '12

Hi. xfce4-mixer 4.10 wasn't giving me a choice to use the 'default' card (pulseaudio). It used to in F17. I even downgraded to v. 4.8 but it just shows the alsa card. Of course even alsamixer shows the default pulseaudio card and pnmixer too. I don't understand about this but it seems xfce4-mixer is a gstreamer thing and maybe isn't supposed to work like alsamixer. I have just the basics for gstreamer as I use vlc/deadbeef which don't need it so it's here mostly because of webkitgtk, qt-config etc., these unrelated stuff. $ yum list installed *gstreamer* gstreamer.i686 0.10.36-2.fc18 @fedora gstreamer-plugins-base.i686 0.10.36-3.fc18 @fedora gstreamer-tools.i686 0.10.36-2.fc18 @fedora gstreamer1.i686 1.0.2-1.fc18 @updates-testing gstreamer1-plugins-base.i686 1.0.2-1.fc18 @updates-testing It still looks like there's some bug somewhere as xfce4-mixer should detect the default card. Thoughts?

Question about lightdm and display-manager.service
by Sergio Cipolla 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

Hi. I'm using F18 upgraded from f17 with yum. IIRC, F17 had /usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target.wants/<something> to start the display manager (someone using it could clear that up). After the upgrade that directory is empty. I had to create a symlink from /usr/lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/display-manager.service otherwise lightdm couldn't be started, of course. Now, the issue is that that's an upgrade bug for systemd or for lightdm. I would like to open a bug report for it so could someone using F17 post exactly how graphical.target is linked (general sense, not symlink) to lightdm.service in F17?

Xfce menu.
by Sergio Cipolla 09 Nov '12

09 Nov '12

Hi. systemd-ui replaced systemd-gtk (I think). For it (systemadm) to nest in the proper place in Xfce menu its desktop file should have Categories=System;Settings; and now it has only 'System'. I would open a bug report but IDK if this messes with other DEs in Fedora or if it's a standard for us.
