URGENT F14: Un-announced change to default dual-head config: intentional or accidental?
by Adam Williamson 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

Hey, folks. Just wanted to flag up this bug before we hit the change deadline: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623824 it seems that the default policy for multiple monitors in current F14 is not to use them at all (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623824#c15 ). On the face of it, this seems like an unintentional change from previous policy. Is this actually the case? If so, can someone submit a fix, quick? :) If it's an intentional change, it should be announced/documented for the release... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

Gnome power manager and remaining battery time.
by Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 26 Oct '10

Looks like Gnome power manager no longer gives the end user the remaining time of the laptop battery but instead only gives him % of usage. Bug or a feature? JBG

Default partitions
by Javier Prats 23 Oct '10

Hello all, I'm new to Fedora development and was wondering if this is the correct list to discuss the default partition scheme. If not could someone please point me in the right direction?

laughlin-backgrounds-gnome size increase
by Jesse Keating 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 With the latest version of l-b-g, the "time of day" backgrounds were added to the -gnome subpackage. This ballooned the package by 20+megs and has caused some of the live images to overflow. Previously none of the actual background files were in -gnome and I'm curious why the change was made at this point, particularly when in previous releases there were no images in the -gnome subpackage. Care to shed some light? - -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAky47tIACgkQ4v2HLvE71NVsoQCgj1Q2GQFT+MSbeIWrfDwk/EM/ DIMAoJCoDzBEDN6n6mM38N8SGpjC5VoB =acUM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Spin status broffice and Desktop had status change
by Bruno Wolff III 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

The Desktop spin jumped about 200MB in size a few days ago. Can someone update me on whether Desktop is targeting a CD or something else this time around? If the target is 1GB now, then things are OK. BrOffice stopped building a few days ago with an issue with a ks reference not being found. This doesn't appear to be from the recent BrOffice commit, but I am not sure yet what changed to cause the problem. The other spins are all building OK. I haven't heard that Meego has officially been granted board approval, but am expecting that soon.

Thanks to Martin Sourada
by Bruno Wolff III 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

While there is still a bit of cleanup work to do, I feel it is appropriate to thank Martin now. After a desktop package unexpectedly caused some problems for some spins Martin was very helpful by both being willing to adjust the Desktop Team's requirements and work on the weekend to get things fixed up again. Thanks Martin!

perl rears its ugly head again
by Peter Robinson 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Hi All, Having thought we'd finally got rid of perl from the desktop (and sugar and meego) spin it seems it rears its ugly head again through of all things the fedora-logos package. I have no idea why logos needs scripts which in turn pulls in a multitude of packages but I thought I'd give you all a heads up. Peter

Hey, folks. The live images for F14 TC1 are now available: http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/14.TC1.1/ and the desktop validation results page is up: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_14_Final_TC1_Desktop please do go ahead and get the TC1 images and help fill out the desktop validation results! I haven't tested the images myself yet but I'm pretty sure they're not DOA, I'm downloading them for myself right now. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net

alert: no desktop effects by default in F14
by Adam Williamson 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hey, desktop folks. I filed this bug last week: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638276 I expected it'd be fixed quickly but nothing's happened so I thought I'd better drop a note. Due to various messing around in comps to do with GNOME 3.0, it's wound up a state where at present neither gnome-shell or compiz-gnome is listed as default in comps, so there's no desktop effects at all by default in F14 composes; this differs from previous releases. I think the obvious fix is to put compiz-gnome back in comps until F15 / GNOME 3. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net
