Thunar stops autorefreshing content in F27
by Miro Hrončok 04 May '18

04 May '18

I've juts updated to Fedora 27 and I've realized Thunar does not refresh content of directory (I have to manually use the F5 key). Is this something we are aware of, or should I file bugs? -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok

Disk I/O widget is not accurate
by Philip Rhoades 25 Feb '18

25 Feb '18

People, For the last few versions of Fedora (I am on F26 x86_64) now) I have found the Disk I/O widget has not been accurate - the indicator is always much lower than it should be. I finally got around to doing a comparison today and ran my Recoll DB update which always causes the disk to thrash - with "iostat -d -x --human 5" I can see that this is case - %util is always jammed at near 100% for /dev/sda - but the graphical XFCE disk indicator for the same disk is at about 25% most of the time. What is the difference between the two indicators? Is there a bug? Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades PO Box 896 Cowra NSW 2794 Australia E-mail: phil(a)pricom.com.au

handling of ssh/gpg agents
by Gour 18 Feb '18

18 Feb '18

Hello. I'm ex-Xfce user who was using Gnome for some time after migrating from Debian to Fedora at the time of fc25-beta. However, I noticed that there are too many stuff running on my machine for which I do not have real use, so yesterday I did migrate (back) to Xfce. Great job! Very soon I had fully working desktop and was even able to quickly get rid of Gnome-stuff, replacing Evolution with vdiryncer/khal/khard was the most sensitive issue...all in all, Xfce is such a wonderful environment providing much more customization very easily... However, there is one pending issue which I'm not sure how to resolve...on Gnome handling of ssh/gpg2 agents were working out of the box, but not sure what is recommended way to do it on Xfce in order to have my default gpg2 ID loaded as well as to have persistent ssh-agent so I can access remote servers without retyping my passwords. In the past I was happily using keychain (from Funtoo project), but it had problems running under fish-shell and handling gpg2 agent. In new(er) version it seems that gpg2 problem is solved, but, apparently, not when using it under fish shell, so my question is if you have recommendation how to get the same functionality as under GNOME (gnome-keyring) without pulling too many GNOME deps? -- As the ignorant perform their duties with attachment to results, the learned may similarly act, but without attachment, for the sake of leading people on the right path.
