Can't upgrade to 4.10 because of libxfce4util and im-chooser-common
by Alexandre Singh 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

Hi there :) Thanks for an available Xfce 4.10 repo in Fedora 17, that's awesome ! But when I try to upgrade, I have two issues. NB : As I'm french, I'll try to translate errors in english, so please forgive me if it is a bit weird. --- 1) yum update or yum upgrade : Error : Package : pragha-1.1.0.1-1.fc17.x86_64 (@updates/$releasever) Requires : libxfce4util.so.4()(64bit) Remove : libxfce4util-4.8.2-2.fc17.x86_64 (@fedora/$releasever) libxfce4util.so.4()(64bit) Updated by : libxfce4util-4.10.0-1.fc17.x86_64 (fedora-xfce-4.10) Not found You can try --skip-broken to resolve the problem 2) same commands but with --skip-broken : Error : protection against different libraries versions : im-chooser-common-1.5.2.2-1.fc17.i686 != im-chooser-common-1.5.2.2-3.fc17.x86_64 --- Thanks for your help and your work on Fedora, Cheers Alex "DarthWound" Singh -- darthwound.org

problems with flash
by Todd And Margo Chester 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

Hi All, Just some feedback to the group. No real question. Scientific Linux 6.2, 64 bit Xfce 4.8 # rpm -qa \*nvidia\* kmod-nvidia-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 nvidia-x11-drv-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 I had to downgrade my flash plugin from flash-plugin-11.2.202.236-0.2.el6.rf.x86_64 to flash-plugin-11.1.102.63-0.1.el6.rf.x86_64 This because if you had a flash picture open in Firefox, and you moved another/any program across the top of the flash video, artifacts of the flash picture from behind would distort the program in the foreground. Almost as if it was doing a logical XOR. Including if Firefox was minimized. The distortions would occur where Firefox was before it got minimized. If you too are having this problem, here is where I downloaded the prior version: http://pkgs.repoforge.org/flash-plugin/flash-plugin-11.1.102.63-0.1.el6.rf.… Hope this helps someone else, -T

Pragha updates for Xfce 4.10
by Heiko Adams 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

Hi, a few days ago an update for pragha (built against Xfce 4.8) has been pushed to the stable repo. Since them updating my system by using yum (I don't like PackageKit and other GUIs) has become funny. So what's the best way to prevent this problem in the future? -- Regards Heiko

Warning from gnome-keyring
by Suvayu Ali 08 Jul '12

08 Jul '12

Everytime I run mutt, I keep getting the following warning: WARNING: gnome-keyring:: couldn't connect to: /run/user/<usernam>/keyring-4WVxRv/pkcs11: No such file or directory I looked online[1], this seems to be a problem with all non-Gnome environments. Although I understood the problem, I couldn't follow the proper way to resolve it. The Debian bug thread mentions towards the end that this has been fixed in the latest xfce4-session. I'm using Kevin's XFCE 4.10 builds from fedora-xfce-4.10: # rpm -q xfce4-session xfce4-session-4.10.0-1.fc17.x86_64 Does anyone know the proper (a solution that won't break later) way to solve this? Thanks, Footnotes: [1] <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=653011> -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.

gvfs-smb
by Jayson Rowe 07 Jul '12

07 Jul '12

Hi all, Just wondering if it is a bug, or by design that SMB support isn't installed by default? I didn't notice initially as my machines were GNOME when I first installed, and then I installed Xfce and pruned out GNOME apps afterwards... One of my co-workers is planning to move from Mint to Fedora with Xfce, and discovered this while testing in a VM. I did a 'yum list installed | grep smb' on my machine, and see I have gvfs-smb installed. I tested installing it in a VM, and sure enough it gave me SMB support that I didn't have. Thanks, -- -jayson

GDM users, does xguest work for you?
by Sergio Cipolla 05 Jul '12

05 Jul '12

Recently xguest had the GDM requirement dropped ( http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=5478 ). It's on updates-testing for sure (might be on updates already). I installed it here (running lightdm) but it fails to login (I have Xfce and i3 and it fails similarly with both). I was (am) about to ask in lightdm's mailing list but I suspect that xguest might not be working with sessions other than GNOME. It didn't work a while back when I had an installation with GDM and there's a bug report for it not working with Xfce in F16 (earlier version). So could any Xfce user that's using F17/GDM confirm if xguest works for you? Note that it requires selinux in enforcing mode. Thanks. * on a side note, lightdm.conf hints on a future built-in guest account support, but I intend to ask about it on their mailing list.

Re: weather plugin broken again?
by Raphael Groner 03 Jul '12

Hi Heiko, I am not sure what you mean exactly with version 0.7.6, there's no such release. There's 0.7.4-6 in the development branch, maybe that version is the case here. Harald as the new developer [0] is working on an upstream patch [1] and he is doing a very good job with that. But AFAIK, he would like to wait with an official release including the patch to use the other forecast service. I can suggest you to use the sources from git [2] when you want to have a working plugin. It works very well here on my (not-Fedora) system. Please look at the upstream bug for more information. Apropos: Fedora as downstream is *really* aware of that issue [3]. Just using another licence key wouldn't solve the problem for the long term [4]. I hope this is enough, but not too much, information to answer the question and I can stop my mail here. The intention is to confuse not more users, we seem to be all aware of the weather issue. :) Best regards, Raphael [0] http://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce4-dev/2012-June/029897.html [1] https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8105 [2] http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/ [3] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=751579 [4] http://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/xfce4-dev/2012-May/029866.html Am Tue, 03 Jul 2012 12:00:12 +0000 schrieb xfce-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org: > Date: Mon, 02 Jul 2012 19:46:35 +0200 > From: Heiko Adams <heiko.adams(a)gmail.com> > To: Fedora Xfce users and developers <xfce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> > Subject: weather plugin broken again? > Message-ID: <4FF1DE7B.9090709(a)gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15 > > Hi, > is it just me or is the xfce4-weather-plugin 0.7.6 broken again.

lightdm testing
by Kevin Fenzi 01 Jul '12

01 Jul '12

lightdm is built for f17 now too... could some folks give it some testing and see how well it's working? I tried it here, but it just gave me a blank screen, it seemed like it wasn't starting X right or something. Could well be a local config issue however. If it looks good to others in testing, we should switch the spin to it. kevin
