XFCE 4.12 on EPEL7
by Martin Sourada 28 Feb '16

28 Feb '16

Hi all, are there any plans on getting Xfce 4.12 on epel7 (e.g. copr repo)? I've been able to mockchain build pretty much everything sans: pragha-1.2.2-5.fc20.src.rpm (missing deps, more than one, haven't tried yet rebuilding them all) ristretto-0.8.0-1.fc23.src.rpm (missing deps for libappstream-glib which is unbuildable on epel7: too old glib, but fails late in build process) libxfcegui4-4.10.0-7.el7.src.rpm xfce4-timer-plugin-0.6.1-17.el7.centos.src.rpm xfce4-radio-plugin-0.5.1-10.el7.centos.src.rpm xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin-1.9.4-19.el7.centos.src.rpm xfce4-cpufreq-plugin-1.0.0-11.el7.centos.src.rpm Haven't tried the functionality though yet. Regards, Martin

Atril instead of Evince
by Miro Hrončok 03 May '15

Hi, could we switch Evince for Atril from MATE? It fits better to Xfce. Atril is basically an old Evince version using gtk2. -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok

Fedora 22 i386 XFCE: some screensavers freeze
by Luigi Votta 01 May '15

01 May '15

Hello users and developers of XFCE on Fedora22 32 bit, too. I've an old machine dated ~ 2001 which runs Fedora 22 with XFCE desktop. I've used GNOME for years untill 2011 when grew gnome-shell and its new features too expensive for my machine. So I switched to XFCE and I feel comfortable with it. Now I've this problem: some screensavers freeze when loaded (i.e. Atlantis, Cage, EndGame, Gears, Geodesic, GeodesicGears, GLKnots, Hypertorus, MirrorBlob, Moebius, MoebiusGears, Pinion) that I've disabled. How can I help with this issue? I'm not a programmer, but if you tell me wich command I should issue (to investigate) when a problem cames out, perhaps it can be helpful. I've a NVidia card FX5200 Installed: xscreensaver-base-5.32-12.fc22.i686 xscreensaver-gl-base-5.32-12.fc22.i686 xscreensaver-extras-base-5.32-12.fc22.i686 xscreensaver-gl-extras-5.32-12.fc22.i686 xscreensaver-extras-5.32-12.fc22.i686 Thank you all for making my old PC working well.

Re: deps issue when updating from F-21
by Raphael Groner 24 Apr '15

Hi Dan, F22 will have Xfce 4.12 and there's no libxfcegui4 available. Do a simple "yum remove libxfcegui4" before the update. Maybe you have to reinstall some plugins because of the broken dependencies.

deps issue when updating from F-21
by Dan Horák 22 Apr '15

Hi, I'm trying to "yum update" a up-to-date F-21 XFCE system to current F-22 and getting a broken deps issue Error: Package: libxfcegui4-4.10.0-7.fc22.x86_64 (fedora) Requires: libxfce4util.so.6()(64bit) Removing: libxfce4util-4.10.1-4.fc21.x86_64 (@fedora/21) libxfce4util.so.6()(64bit) Updated By: libxfce4util-4.12.1-1.fc22.x86_64 (fedora) ~libxfce4util.so.7()(64bit) yes, I can remove libxfce4util before updating, but shouldn't it be Obsoleted (including packages built against it) by some common XFCE package? Or should be "--skip-broken" and then "distrosync" be used? Dan

Terminal: Many tabs or long path names => useless tab titles . .
by Philip Rhoades 21 Apr '15

21 Apr '15

People, Is there a way to fix the above problem by instead of the titles becoming truncated on the right end of the string title, that they could be truncated from the left for display? Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil(a)pricom.com.au

Xfce 4.12 fedora 22 alpha rc3 status
by Kevin Fenzi 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

Greetings. Ran into a few snags today, but managed to overcome them. ;) We were missing 3 packages from our f22 mega update. One I already had built (xfce4-notifyd), and two we hadn't (xfce4-screenshooter and xfce4-dict). I managed to get those all built/added to the update/sorted out. So, the f22 update should hopefully be happy now. Also, looks like we managed to get enough votes for a Freeze Exception for F22 Alpha, and also as luck would have it there was a blocker bug that required another compose, so we are in. :) If folks could please test the F22 alpha rc3 images, that would be great: Fedora-Live-Xfce-i686 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9145949 Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9145951 There will be a formal rc3 announcement when the full compose is done, but the above Xfce images are completed, so we can start testing whenever. ;) Thanks much. kevin
