perl on xfce live
by Kevin Fenzi 01 May '13

01 May '13

Greetings. In the past we have had perl on the Xfce live media due to a dep in exo (it has a helper script that is written in perl). Seth has kindly re-written this script in python: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9964 So, that removes the perl dep from exo. However, there are still some more. Here's a f19 nightly with the new exo: ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Removing: perl x86_64 4:5.16.3-261.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 23 M Removing for dependencies: NetworkManager-openvpn x86_64 1:0.9.6.0-2.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 718 k foomatic x86_64 4.0.9-1.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 629 k icedtea-web x86_64 1.3.1-5.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 881 k java-1.7.0-openjdk x86_64 1:1.7.0.17-2.3.8.3.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 90 M javapackages-tools noarch 0.13.7-1.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 62 k jline noarch 1.0-4.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 71 k jpackage-utils noarch 1.7.5-25.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 174 k lm_sensors x86_64 3.3.3-3.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 410 k openvpn x86_64 2.3.0-2.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 901 k perl-Business-ISBN noarch 2.05.03-3.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 40 k perl-Business-ISBN-Data noarch 20120719.001-2.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 161 k perl-Carp noarch 1.26-241.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 28 k perl-Data-Dumper x86_64 2.145-1.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 97 k perl-Encode x86_64 2.49-1.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 9.7 M perl-Filter x86_64 1.45-5.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 143 k perl-PathTools x86_64 3.40-1.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 193 k perl-Pod-Escapes noarch 1:1.04-261.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 21 k perl-Pod-Simple noarch 1:3.20-261.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 488 k perl-Scalar-List-Utils x86_64 1.27-246.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 62 k perl-Socket x86_64 2.009-2.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 111 k perl-URI noarch 1.60-8.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 189 k perl-libs x86_64 4:5.16.3-261.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 1.5 M perl-macros x86_64 4:5.16.3-261.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 5.0 k perl-threads x86_64 1.86-242.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 92 k perl-threads-shared x86_64 1.43-2.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 72 k rhino noarch 1.7R4-2.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 1.0 M xfce4-sensors-plugin x86_64 1.2.3-7.fc19 @koji-override-0/$releasever 370 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Remove 1 Package (+27 Dependent packages) Installed size: 131 M So, it saves us 131MB, at the cost of xfce4-sensors-plugin, icedtea-web, foomatic and openvpn. So, we could just do this now. Or we could try and get the perl dep fixed up in those above that we care about. Or we could just not bother. ;) Thoughts? kevin

LightDM-gtk new background issues
by Martin Sourada 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Hi all, I've been packaging the new backgrounds again and ran into an issue with LightDM. When I generate the usual PNG that is used by lightdm gtk greeter (/usr/share/backgrounds/default.png) and install it, everywhere (xfce and lxde) it works, only lightdm-gtk does show black background instead. I haven't got a single idea what's different between the spherical cow PNG and the new one :( While playing around with lightdm settings I noticed that if it fails to locate set background image, it shows red. For the new image it shows black background, both for png or jpg. I'm at the loss at my wits. Relevant packages (desktop-backgrounds-compat): http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=401939 $ rpm -qa lightdm\* lightdm-gobject-1.4.0-5.fc18.i686 lightdm-1.4.0-5.fc18.i686 lightdm-gtk-1.3.1-3.fc18.i686 Note that I've tested it on Fedora 18 (local build from the same sources as in koji). Regards, Martin

If you have an active connection to the web, just do that command in your running live environment: yum install gparted > Anyone know of an FC18 Xfce spin with gparted on it? Any other spins? All Fedora spins are listed and can be downloaded: https://spins.fedoraproject.org/ Suggestion: Use Parted Magic, another actively maintained and nearly monthly distributed live CD, but unfortunately without a connection to Fedora. Quite good for backup & recorvery tasks. http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=news R.

Big yellow mouse cursor?
by Beartooth 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Last time I had a machine running CentOS (6.2 iirc) I had managed to get a big yellow arrow to show the mouse cursor. It was wonderful. Now I have machines running Fedora (17 & 18) and Puppy (5.0) -- and I need cursor symbols that my antiquated eyeballs can spot even through trifocals. Can anyone tell me a way to get my arrow back?? -- Beartooth Sciurivore, Curmudgeon On Line Viruses, trojans, and spyware, Oh My!

FC18 Xfce Live CD does not have gparted -- OH NO!!!
by Todd And Margo Chester 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

Hi All, Oh No! FC18 XFCE live CD no longer has gparted. That is about 80% of what I use it for. What a disaster! Sure I can continue to use FC17 XFCE Live CD, but it won't keep up with new chipsets. I do "fondly" remember when I discovered that the FC16 XFCE Live CD did not support the C2xx chipset. Had to work till 01:00 in the morning on that one. Yikes! Anyone know of an FC18 Xfce spin with gparted on it? Any other spins? Many thanks, -T
