Sudo for first user
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
You can add the following snippet to the fedora-desktop ks file into a
init script to make sudo just work for the first user. It can't be added
to %post since firstboot wouldn't have launched then. Let me know what
you think:
-----------------
# check for the first user and add it to user wheel and then to sudoers
USER=$( grep 500 /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1 )
GROUPS=$( groups $USER )
if ! groups $USER | grep -q wheel ; then
usermod -a -G wheel $USER
sed -i 's/# %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL/ %wheel ALL=(ALL)
ALL/' /etc/sudoers
fi
EOF

Multi Seat with F9 or F10?
by Harald Berghoff
Hello,
i'm hoping i choosed the right audience for my question, please bear
with me if not.
I want to set up a multi-seat configuration with F9 (or F10 if that will
be easier). I had this running on FC7 and was using the [servers]
section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf to start two X server from GDM.
F9 seems to ignore the /etc/gdm/custom.conf, the arguments X was started
with doesn't fit any server entry in the config.
Any hint is appreciated. Maybe the ConsoleKit is the right place? But i
have not found any config file for the ConsoleKit in /etc?
Thanks in Advance

The desktop beyond F10
by Matthias Clasen
Hey all,
with F10 closing in on the finish line, it is time to start thinking
about how we envision the Fedora Desktop to look beyond F10. To that
end, we (mostly Jon and me, with some help from other desktop team
members) have started to put some of our ideas for how to improve the
desktop experience into written form.
You can find this material here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Desktop/Whiteboards
Currently this is just a pretty unsorted mixture of wild ideas,
implementation details and concrete plans, and a lot of them are missing
details, user stories and use cases. Don't misunderstand it as 'the plan
for the F11 desktop'.
But I hope that it is filled out enough to provide some idea in what
direction we would like to move the desktop. Over the next weeks, we'll
turn the things that we are going to tackle for F11 into regular feature
pages.
Comments and feedback welcome, either on this list or in the discussion
tabs.

Trying out swfdec for Fedora 11
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi,
In the last few weeks, I have been using swfdec in rawhide and it has
been working quite well for my limited usage. Should we include swfdec
by default in rawhide for Fedora 11 right after the Fedora 10 release?
At the very least, directing more feedback towards improving it, by
having it as default would be good regardless of whether it is mature
enough for Fedora 11 release yet. It is one of the last pieces of
proprietary software that almost everyone ends up using in Linux. Comments?

Browser mode for nautilus
by Valent Turkovic
Hi,
I have seen this discussed in Fedora marketing but not here or on the
devel lists. On Fedora marketing list people agreed that this should
be enabled:
gconftool-2 --type boolean --set
/apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser true
Should I post this as a feature request or is it enough just to post
it here in this mailing list?
Cheers,
Valent.
