xfce 4.13 and FC29 bugs
by ToddAndMargo 13 Dec '18

13 Dec '18

Hi All, Four machines upgraded to Fedora 29, two to go. The last two are servers, so they are going to wait a bit. Xfce 4.13 sure took it on the chin. This is my list of new bugs I reported launcher panels no longer scale https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14828 xfce4-about 4.13 thinks it is 4.12 https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14827 xfce4-about 4.13 is missing from settings https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14829 panel icon size ignored on pop up https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14830 mailing list is down https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14831 black background on panel icons https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14842 -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A computer without Microsoft is like a chocolate cake without the mustard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Misleading message on download page of our spin
by Johannes Lips 28 Nov '18

28 Nov '18

Hi all, when preparing for installing fedora on my new laptop, I stumbled across this weird message on the download page https://spins.fedoraproject.org/xfce/download/index.html. "Although this spin failed to compose for the final release, this test compose contains fixes over the final content to allow for a successful compose and should meet most users' needs. You can verify the test compose image with a dedicated CHECKSUM file for 64-bit <https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/unofficial/releases/29/x86_64/Fedora-U…> and 32-bit <https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/unofficial/releases/29/i386/Fedora-UNO…> images." To me this is totally confusing for new users and I don't really know if it's a really good idea to show this message there. Of course I think it's good to be honest and transparent, but this message needs a certain level of understanding of the fedora release process and without it, it just confuses people. I mean who cares if the final compose failed, if updated images are now available and are working? Is it mandatory to display such a message if the final release is updated? I really think we can do better, since the spins do look like an unloved stepchild enough already. All the best Johannes

List tooltips flickering in F29
by Panu Matilainen 08 Nov '18

08 Nov '18

Dunno what the actual widget name for this is, but in some list-type views tooltips flicker like crazy. So far I've encountered two places to reproduce: - settings -> appearance -> style - file manager -> devices/places/network Hover the mouse on any of the entry for a moment, a tooltip should appear but instead it flickers fast enough to be unreadable. This didn't happen in F28. No idea which library to blame so reporting here first before going to bugzilla... - Panu -

panels have weird colors
by ToddAndMargo 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

Hi All, I just upgraded from Fedora 28 to 29 and Xfce 4.12 to 4.13. The background colors of my panel one and panel two have some dark background color, making them hard to read, especial the date and time. Far right of panel 1 on the top Far left of panel 2 on the bottom https://ibb.co/gEyEDL How do I adjust this? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tip: flash player
by ToddAndMargo 02 Nov '18

02 Nov '18

Hi All, Had a customer with Fedora 28 that could not view videos on the web wit Firefox. Turned out Flash player was missing. So a quick rip to my notes and OUT OF DATE! So Google it is and OUT-OF Date too! Folks need to date their articles! Finally found a article that actually worked and was not out of date: https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-adobe-flash-player-10-o… And my notes are now updated. -T You would think folks would have stopped using Flash by now and moved to HTML5, especially with all the tables out there but ...
