Re: xfdashboard and xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin
by Raphael Groner 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Hi Kevin. Yeah, go for it. How much space do they need additionally? I know that xfdashboard is based on clutter, so this library should be available, too. In case of xfdashboard, we should provide a panel button (launcher) at least to let an unexperienced user notice that great feature. Not sure what to do about whisker (as alternative to legacy applications menu). ~ Raphael Am Thu, 27 Mar 2014 12:00:04 +0000 schrieb xfce-request(a)lists.fedoraproject.org: > Date: Wed, 26 Mar 2014 10:15:31 -0600 > From: Kevin Fenzi <kevin(a)scrye.com> > To: xfce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > Subject: xfdashboard and xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin > Message-ID: <20140326101531.7bd62088(a)voldemort.scrye.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Shall we add xfdashboard and xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin to comps and > thus pull them into the Xfce live media? > > I wouldn't want either enabled by default, but it might be nice to > have them on there in case... > > Thoughts? > > kevin

install to flash drive
by ToddAndMargo 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Hi All, I have been playing with "Fedora Live USB Creator". I don't like the space limitations on the Live USB drive as I am always wanting to install more than will fit on /dev/vsd1 Just out of curiosity, could I boot from the Xfce Live CD and install to a flash drive?

xfdashboard and xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin

Shall we add xfdashboard and xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin to comps and thus pull them into the Xfce live media? I wouldn't want either enabled by default, but it might be nice to have them on there in case... Thoughts? kevin

cryptic terminal/browser errors
by Beartooth 27 Mar '14

27 Mar '14

When I click on a link in my email (Alpine on F20, fully updated), I get: "The history couldn't be loaded: attached databases must use the same text encoding as main database." That's with Midori as preferred browser. With Qupzilla, the error message reads: "Failed to execute child process "Qupzilla" (No such file or directory)." Similarly with Rekonq, Seamonkey, and uzbl. With Dillo, Epiphany, Konqueror, Firefox, Opera, Arora, Kazehakase, Mosaic, or surf, as the preferred browser, the link works. (Browsers not in the F20 repos (as of last time I looked) are not installed; so I didn't test them.) -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

Re: Any persistent Xfce clipboard plugin?
by Raphael Groner 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

Hi, http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-clipman-plugin This is a simple cliboard history for Xfce panel. It includes a "Clear clipboard" option, and a drag-and-drop paste feature. ClipIt (fork of Parcellite) is also nice if you want to have the icon in the systray area. There's also qlipper but it needs Qt, the other three are running fine with Gtk.

Any persistent Xfce clipboard plugin?
by ToddAndMargo 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hi All, Is there an Xfce 4.8 plugin that will make the clipboard persistent? By that I mean, not having to keep the originating program open after copying into the clipboard or it won't paste. Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

display question
by Beartooth 05 Mar '14

How do I tell fedora-xfce, once and for all, to display *all* the subfolders, *including* the "hidden" dot-folders, every single last time I open *any* folder, now and forever, world without end? I'm in the midst of a dismal clean-up operation, and I'm going nuts, having to re-set that setting all the time. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User Remember I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.

Hi Beartooth, you may find AUFS or UNIONFS to be useful. It's possible to use it as a writable filesystem layer on top of your live image. You have to mount it on boot over your /home volume. Or you install to some writable drive (hard disk, usb stick, etc...) and change your settings persistently. http://fixunix.com/redhat/528476-aufs-unionfs-fedora.html I hope this helps.
