How to build a "contacts" rpm
by ToddAndMargo 22 Dec '13

22 Dec '13

Hi All, I just asked the Fedora maintainer of "contacts" to include an an RPM in EPEL and got turned down. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1045882 I anyone loves this sweet simple utility and needs an RPM, here is how you roll your own (works in both Fedora and the various flavors of Enterprise Linux 6): 1) download Fedora Core 15's SRPM from pbone http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3?stat=26&dist=73&size=367262&name=contacts-0… 2) rebuild for your current version rpmbuild --rebuild contacts-0.12-5.fc15.src.rpm At the end of the build, you will find where rpmbuild created your new RPMs. Save them all: "contacts" is "end of life" HTH someone else, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Root password for mounting things in Thunar
by Miro Hrončok 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

Hi, after the recent updates in F20, when I connect a external mass storage device and click on it in Thunar, I'm prompted for root password. Do you observe similar behavior? Should it be reported against thunar-volman? -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok

Brightness control?
by Beartooth 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

I put a launcher (whose "about" link calls it "xfce4-brightness- plugin 1.2.0," and points to http://goodies.xfce.org) onto a Fedora.xfce panel. The image looks like the helm pf a ship, with a large red circle in the middle, containing a white exclamation point. Sure enough, hovering the mouse cursor over it gets a message saying "No device found", and left-clicking it does nothing. Right-clicking gets a grey box with the top line (saying "Brightness plugin") grayed out. Is there in fact a brightness control in Fedora xfce? How do you invoke it? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

Epiphany dying on launch
by Beartooth 09 Dec '13

09 Dec '13

Running Fedora 18 with xfce4, clicking on "web" often starts a launch which then dies, without ever getting to a site. The link for "web" leads to the Epiphany site; I have no clue why Fedora doesn't call it by its name. What could be causing these failures?? And what can I do about it? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
