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.

Power manager issues (double wake up, etc.)
by Miro Hrončok 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Hi, because of previous incompatibility with xfce4-power-manager-settings and /etc/systemd/logind.conf, I've disabled every action in logind.conf by setting things to ignore. Yesterday, I've finally managed to comment that out and set things properly in xfce4-power-manager-settings as desired. Here is what I want and what I have set in the xfce4-power-manager-settings (except using slock, because there is no option for used screen lock): - When I am not connected to AC and I close the lid, lock the screen (with slock), but do not suspend/hibernate/whatever. When I am connected, do not lock. - When pressed any of the buttons poweroff/suspend/hibernate, ask for action. - When suspending/hibernate, lock the screen with slock. Here is, what really happens: - Closing lid and using slock to lock the screen (only without AC) works as expected. - When I press poweroff or suspend button, I am only asked sometimes, sometimes nothing happens. (When I change the action from Ask to Suspend, it works the same, only goes to suspend sometimes, sometimes nothing happens) - When going to suspend and wake up, screen is unlocked. - When I open the lid when suspended, PC wakes up (as expected), but goes to suspend immediately again, but when I wake up for the second time, it's not going again to suspend, it's not an infinite loop. Basicaly, I have to wake up twice (open the lid, wake up, suspend, press power on, wake up). I'm using Fedora 18 64bit on Lenovo Thinpad X230. I have no idea, what's wrong, or whom to report this. Thanks for any help. -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 Jabber: miro(a)hroncok.cz

Fedora 19 Final TC5 desktop testing
by Adam Williamson 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

Hi, folks! There's been substantial churn in F19 lately, but from some smoke testing, Final TC5 looks like a basically working build that includes most of the major change we need for final. At this point, 10 days before go/no-go, we really need to do all the desktop validation testing and pin down any showstopper issues that remain. If folks could grab the TC5 Live images from here: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-TC5/Live/ (KDE, GNOME) https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-TC5/Spins/ (others) and help us to fill out the tests at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_19_Final_TC5_Desktop , it'd be a really big help. Just run any of the tests you can for your desktop, file bugs on any failures you hit, and mark your results in the tables according to the key. It'd be especially good to have help with the deceptively large test case https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_desktop_menus , which is basically 'run every app installed by default and make sure it works'. If you do hit problems with any of the tests, first check at https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/19/final/buglist to see if they've been reported as blocker or freeze exception bugs already. If you hit a serious new failure of a test on KDE or GNOME, mark the bug as blocking the bug 'FinalBlocker' (ideally with reference to a criterion at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_Final_Release_Criteria , but if you're not good at criteria ju-jitsu that's OK), or use the blocker proposal web app - https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/propose_bug - to propose it as a blocker. If you hit serious failure of a test on any of the other desktops, mark the bug as blocking the bug 'FinalFreezeException', or use the webapp to propose it as a freeze exception issue. I have tested that at least each image can boot to a desktop and run the installer; none of them is entirely DOA. Note, testing in virtualization, you *may* run into https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=974198 ; if so, passing 'nomodeset' should work around it for now. If you get lost or confused by the process at any point, but you think you've found an important issue, don't hesitate to holler at me or anyone else in QA or release engineering, on list, by direct mail or on IRC. Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

What will be the Fedora 19 XFCE version?
by Zoltan Hoppar 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

Hi, I would like to know what version will we have in the upcoming Fedora 19 XFCE spin? I interested in this because 4.12 gives multi monitor support and the drop-down terminal too... However, if we keep the 4.10 - then I would like to request an tiny application addon called arandr (its in the repo, packaged). With this everyone can set multi monitor support. Thanks, Zoltan -- PGP: 06853DF7

Re: pyupdatesd: A Yum Updates Tray Icon for XFCE
by Noah Petherbridge 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

@Heiko: I just installed the Fedora 19 Alpha in VirtualBox, downloaded pyupdatesd and then modified its configuration section to change the "interval" from 900 seconds down to 10 (to get quicker feedback on whether the script is working or not). It worked for me. After about 10 seconds from running the script, the tray icon and message appeared, and clicking it brought me to the yumex GUI. This script waits /at least/ until the interval is first reached (i.e. 15 minutes after the script is run, in the default configuration), before it runs `yum check-update` to see if there are updates. When there are, `yum check-update` exits with status 100, and that's how the script knows when to show the icon and notification. If this isn't working, can you try debugging it? Around this part of the code, you can have it print the status and output of check-update: if int(time()) >= next_check: status, output = commands.getstatusoutput(c['check']) status = status >> 8 + print "status:", status + print "output:", output # Updates? if status == 100: Also the results of running, in bash: `yum check-update; echo $?` @Frank: Make sure you're running the script from within X11 (so that $DISPLAY is set). I see that error message if I attempt to run the script from text mode. ;) In my XFCE desktop, adding the script to my session startup list works for me. $ cat ~/.config/autostart/Update\ Daemon.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Version=0.9.4 Type=Application Name=Update Daemon Comment= Exec=/home/kirsle/bin/pyupdatesd OnlyShowIn=XFCE; StartupNotify=false Terminal=false Hidden=false -Noah On 05/26/2013 05:00 AM, xfce-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org wrote: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Sun, 26 May 2013 09:37:52 +0200 > From: Heiko Adams <heiko.adams(a)gmail.com> > To: Fedora Xfce users and developers <xfce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> > Subject: Re: pyupdatesd: A Yum Updates Tray Icon for XFCE > Message-ID: <51A1BBD0.2020707(a)gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 > Hi, > it looks like your script doesn't work on Fedora 19.
