Some space pruning on Xfce spin
by Kevin Fenzi 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Greetings. I did a bit of pruning today on the Xfce spin, as it had gotten way way over sized. +-adobe-source-han-* # save 94MB +-rodent-icon-theme # save 34MB +-skkdic # save 25MB +-naver-nanum-gothic-fonts # save 14MB I also remove liferea from the comps group (this pulled in webkitgtk3 and should save us a good bit of room) I also added evince (we had no pdf reader and it was pretty small) and gvfs-archive. I suspect we will still be over, but we can see tomorrow how much and see what we might be able to further adjust. kevin

[SPIN RFE] Include gvfs-archive
by Martin Sourada 23 Aug '14

23 Aug '14

Hi all, I've been pondering right now how to mount ISO from within Thunar and found that the required functionality is in gvfs-archive, which was not installed on my system (f20 xfce live + various things I installed afterwards). I wonder if we could include it in the xfce spin/group, so that people can easily mount compressed archives, isos, etc. It works in Thunar pretty well, unmount included. Regards, Martin

Hi All, Under xfce fedora core 20, is there some kind of "item" that can be added to Panel 1 to alert you and couch you through your updates? Many thanks, -T

Hi All, I am in the "thinking" phase of putting together an Xfce, FC20 workstation for a customer. Anyone have a favorite stand alone calendar and address book I could pre-load it with? Many thanks, -T

Hi Todd, you can use Yumex (instead of PackageKit). Yumex has an option to minimize to system tray, there will be an icon then that can show the availabilty of updates. -R. > Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2014 10:29:27 -0700 > From: ToddAndMargo <ToddAndMargo(a)zoho.com> > To: Fedora Xfce <xfce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> > Subject: update > Message-ID: <53ECF1F7.5010300(a)zoho.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed > > Hi All, > > Under xfce fedora core 20, is there some kind of "item" > that can be added to Panel 1 to alert you and couch you > through your updates? > > Many thanks, > -T
