Notification Area panel applet
by John Jason Jordan 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

I have a lot of problems getting this applet to work correctly. In attempting various things I clicked on the Clear Known Applications button, but now I want it to display all applications. There is no "undo" after clicking this button. I removed and replaced the applet, but it still shows only a few applications. In other words, it knew I wanted to "clear all known applications" from a setting in a config file somewhere. I want to nuke this config file to put it back to the original settings, but I can't find any config file for it. What is the name and location of the config file for the Notification Area applet? Or if it inside another config file, which one and where is it?

OT: Display not found
by Todd And Margo Chester 25 Mar '12

Hi All, This is off topic, not an Xfce problem, so I do ask your indulgence. I am posting here because you are a bunch of smart guys in this subject and may be able to help me. For the life of me, I can not get epel's kmod-nvidia drivers to work. I get "display not found". I have posted the error logs and details of my system over on (it is pretty long, so I did not want to duplicate it here): http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?act=ST&f=5&t=1477&st=0#entry10211 This has been driving me crazy for several months. I am getting a bit desperate. I appreciate you guys' help, -T

Fedora 17 Beta RC1 desktop validation needed
by Adam Williamson 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Hey folks! By some miracle we've managed to get Fedora 17 Beta RC1 out almost on time: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/17-Beta.RC1/ As always, we need to do the desktop validation for it. See the desktop validation page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_17_Beta_RC1_Desktop And please, if you can, help us to fill in the results for your desktops. Desktop team, I know we didn't get 3.3.92 into Beta and sorry about that, but we do need to check it passes the validation tests - the ones for Beta aren't too difficult and shouldn't take long to do, so if you can help that'd be great. I have done a smoke test on all four desktops; they all boot okay to a sane looking desktop and successfully install to hard disk and boot from hard disk, so they're all clearly testable, not DOA. Thanks everyone! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

roller ball weirdness
by Todd And Margo Chester 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Hi All, I am using Scientific Linux 6.2 x64 and Xfce 4.8. Since upgrading to 6.2, I have noticed if I scroll too fast on my mouse wheel, that I change windows. I wind up in a different program and have to click back to get back to my original program. Is this on purpose? And, is there a way to defeat the behavior? Many thanks, -T

Fedora 16 xfce4-mixer freezes for about 2 sec without pulse
by Lucas 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

Dear All. As it stated in subject, I turned pulse off by "autospawn = no"+"daemon-binary = /bin/true" in its client.conf. Before xfce4-mixer always starts very quickly, but not now. It start to freeze for about 2 sec. I used strace and got the point where it freezes: futex(0xe46e90, FUTEX_UNLOCK_PI_PRIVATE, 0) = 0 futex(0xe47ce4, FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI_PRIVATE, 1, NULL, 0xe46e90 <---- here Does anyone else noticed something similar ? I have the same pulse config in Xubuntu 12.04, and xfce4-mixer starts also very quickly there. Thanks.

Fedora 16 XFCE spin language problem
by SilvioTO 15 Mar '12

15 Mar '12

On January I installed Fedora 16 xfce spin on my desktop (x86_64) and laptop (i686) with respective dvd's and in both pc I set the system language to italian. All went ok, except for Thunar: at the first launch it is in italian; if closed and reopened it change language and remain in english for the rest of session. The folders shortcuts "Documents, Download", etc, is always in english. I opened a forum post too: http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=274735 and a bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771880 Thanks for your help.

aplay, vlc, Xfce launcher conflict
by Todd And Margo Chester 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

Hi All, Scientific Linux 6.2 x64 Xfce 4.8 I have a weird problem since upgrading from SL 6.1 to SL 6.2 If I have VLC open and playing music, when starting the following line from an icon in a panel 2 launcher, the line hangs at the aplay statement (no ding): sh -c "/usr/bin/aplay -q /home/linuxutil/KDE_Notify.wav; /usr/bin/wine "/home/tony/.wine/drive_c/lotus/123/123w.exe"" If I press "stop" on VLC, I here the aplay ding, and the command continues and completes as it should. Then I can restart my music. Weird though: I can run the above from a command prompt and it dings right on top of VLC (no hang) and the command completes as it should. Confused, -T

32 bit live Xfce ISO won't boot in kvm
by Todd And Margo Chester 11 Mar '12

11 Mar '12

Hi All, I can get the 64 bit live cd to boot in KVM (host = SL 6.2 x64) Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-XFCE.iso But, when I switch my CDROM drive to Fedora-16-i686-Live-XFCE.iso Fedora goes through the motions of trying to boot, then dies at Starting SYSV: Late init script for live image.... Started SYSV: Late init script for live image.. Start SYSV: Late init script for live image I tried re-downloading the ISO, no joy. If I burn to a CD and directly boot to it (no virtual machine), the CD does work. Any idea how to fix this? Many thanks, -T
