Color profiles support in xfce4-settings and spin.
by Sergio Cipolla 28 Aug '19

28 Aug '19

From a discussion in the xfce forum ³ re. monitor color profiles support in xfce4-settings I figured two things: 1. it seems to need to be built with this support ¹ 2. it seems to need gnome-color-manager to show-up in the GUI ² Re. #1, in fc30 it seems the packages wasn't built with this option and would need an update (I didn't check the spec file but /usr/bin/xfce4-color-settings is missing). Re. #2, I suppose the package would need to at least recommend gnome-color-manager . ¹ https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/tree/configure.ac.in#n162 ² https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/commit/?id=449e9d9a6f4a341d63ff542… ³ https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=13297

Midori version discrepancy.
by Sergio Cipolla 25 Aug '19

25 Aug '19

Midori is at 0.9.0 upstream¹ (although their site is now a bit convoluted and it took me some time to find the source code location³), and in koji there's version 8.0 for fc30². dnf for me offers only version 7.0. ¹ https://github.com/midori-browser/core/releases ² https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=5912 ³ 'dnf info midori' has the right link for it.

Xfce not working with F29 5.2.x kernel
by Jos Vos 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

Hi, Is it a know problem that Xfce4 (looks like panel dbus issues) is not working anymore with (at least) the F29 5.2.7 kernel? I upgraded (a.o.) 5.1.21-200 to 5.2.7-100 kernel and rebooted and Xfce4 is not working anymore (no panel, no apps started). Rebooting again from 5.1.21-200 kernel and it works again. After that I switched kernel 2 times and it is fully reproducable: 5.1.21-200 works, 5.2.7-100 does not work. -- -- Jos Vos <jos(a)xos.nl> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Office: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Mobile: +31 6 26216181

[Fedora 30] Xfce 4.14 built and submitted for testing
by Mukundan Ragavan 18 Aug '19

18 Aug '19

I have submitted a mega update with Xfce 4.14 packages for Fedora 30. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-8b21f399ee Please test and give feedback on bodhi. Fedora 31 is currently in a limbo state. I managed to get some of the packages before branching and those should already be present. I have no idea where packages built after branching are since bodhi is not activated for F31 yet. Mukundan.

Some 4.14 questions: 1) Now that 4.14 is released, will you give us a shout here when the RPM's are ready 2) how can we check what the current revision is that we are running? "rpm -qa xfce4\*" perhaps? 3) will you spin an new Fedora 30 Lie ISO? Many thanks, -T

Xfce 4.14 in Fedora
by Mukundan Ragavan 12 Aug '19

12 Aug '19

Xfce 4.14 packages are being released right now (see xfce4-announce (upstream) mailing list). I will be updating these packages in the next couple of days. I anticipate pushing everything out before the branch (on Aug 13). If not, it will be just be one additional step. Xfce 4.14 will be available for Fedora 30 as well. Mukundan.

Removal of Python 2 from the Xfce spin
by Miro Hrončok 11 Aug '19

11 Aug '19

Hi, we've successfully removed Python 2 from default Workstation installation years ago, today I'd like to see if we could do it in Xfce Spin as well. For those not in the picture: Python 2 ill EOL in 11 months, 22 days [0]. We are trying to get rid of it as much as possible in Fedora [1][2]. Eliminating Python 2 from our defualt installations is an important step here. Today, if I try to uninstall python2 from Xfce spin (rawhide), this is what gets removed as dependent: NetworkManager-openconnect-gnome blueberry gnumeric python2-catfish system-config-keyboard system-config-users Several others go as no longer needed, mostly python2 libs, but also: NetworkManager-openconnect bluez-obex bluez-tools openconnect wmctrl While I doubt the actual usefulness of gnumeric, what bothers me is: 1. It seems that the Bluetooth stack is entirely gone. Do we have an viable alternative? 2. If openconnect is not needed on Workstation, why is it needed in Xfce? 3. Can we set keyboards/users with some alternatives? system-config-* still link to fedorahosted as upstream and haven't received an update in years. They seem pretty upstream dead to me. 4. Catfish is Python 3 compatible, but the Fedora maintainer is not [4]. Thanks for tips.
