XFCE 4.12 on EPEL7
by Martin Sourada
Hi all,
are there any plans on getting Xfce 4.12 on epel7 (e.g. copr repo)? I've
been able to mockchain build pretty much everything sans:
pragha-1.2.2-5.fc20.src.rpm (missing deps, more than one, haven't tried
yet rebuilding them all)
ristretto-0.8.0-1.fc23.src.rpm (missing deps for libappstream-glib
which is unbuildable on epel7: too old glib, but fails late in build
process)
libxfcegui4-4.10.0-7.el7.src.rpm
xfce4-timer-plugin-0.6.1-17.el7.centos.src.rpm
xfce4-radio-plugin-0.5.1-10.el7.centos.src.rpm
xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin-1.9.4-19.el7.centos.src.rpm
xfce4-cpufreq-plugin-1.0.0-11.el7.centos.src.rpm
Haven't tried the functionality though yet.
Regards,
Martin

Atril instead of Evince
by Miro Hrončok
Hi,
could we switch Evince for Atril from MATE? It fits better to Xfce.
Atril is basically an old Evince version using gtk2.

Fedora 22 i386 XFCE: some screensavers freeze
by Luigi Votta
Hello users and developers of XFCE on Fedora22 32 bit, too.
I've an old machine dated ~ 2001 which runs Fedora 22 with XFCE
desktop.
I've used GNOME for years untill 2011 when grew gnome-shell
and its new features too expensive for my machine.
So I switched to XFCE and I feel comfortable with it.
Now I've this problem: some screensavers freeze when loaded (i.e.
Atlantis, Cage, EndGame, Gears, Geodesic, GeodesicGears, GLKnots,
Hypertorus, MirrorBlob, Moebius, MoebiusGears, Pinion) that I've
disabled.
How can I help with this issue? I'm not a programmer, but if you tell
me wich command I should issue (to investigate) when a problem cames
out, perhaps it can be helpful.
I've a NVidia card FX5200
Installed:
xscreensaver-base-5.32-12.fc22.i686
xscreensaver-gl-base-5.32-12.fc22.i686
xscreensaver-extras-base-5.32-12.fc22.i686
xscreensaver-gl-extras-5.32-12.fc22.i686
xscreensaver-extras-5.32-12.fc22.i686
Thank you all for making my old PC working well.

Re: deps issue when updating from F-21
by Raphael Groner
Hi Dan,
F22 will have Xfce 4.12 and there's no libxfcegui4 available. Do a
simple "yum remove libxfcegui4" before the update. Maybe you have to
reinstall some plugins because of the broken dependencies.
More information in this thread:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/xfce/2015-March/002206.html
Best,
Raphael

deps issue when updating from F-21
by Dan Horák
Hi,
I'm trying to "yum update" a up-to-date F-21 XFCE system to current F-22
and getting a broken deps issue
Error: Package: libxfcegui4-4.10.0-7.fc22.x86_64 (fedora)
Requires: libxfce4util.so.6()(64bit)
Removing: libxfce4util-4.10.1-4.fc21.x86_64 (@fedora/21)
libxfce4util.so.6()(64bit)
Updated By: libxfce4util-4.12.1-1.fc22.x86_64 (fedora)
~libxfce4util.so.7()(64bit)
yes, I can remove libxfce4util before updating, but shouldn't it be
Obsoleted (including packages built against it) by some common XFCE
package? Or should be "--skip-broken" and then "distrosync" be used?

Terminal: Many tabs or long path names => useless tab titles . .
by Philip Rhoades
People,
Is there a way to fix the above problem by instead of the titles
becoming truncated on the right end of the string title, that they could
be truncated from the left for display?
Thanks,
Phil.

Xfce 4.12 fedora 22 alpha rc3 status
by Kevin Fenzi
Greetings.
Ran into a few snags today, but managed to overcome them. ;)
We were missing 3 packages from our f22 mega update. One I already had
built (xfce4-notifyd), and two we hadn't (xfce4-screenshooter and
xfce4-dict). I managed to get those all built/added to the
update/sorted out. So, the f22 update should hopefully be happy now.
Also, looks like we managed to get enough votes for a Freeze Exception
for F22 Alpha, and also as luck would have it there was a blocker bug
that required another compose, so we are in. :)
If folks could please test the F22 alpha rc3 images, that would be
great:
Fedora-Live-Xfce-i686
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9145949
Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9145951
There will be a formal rc3 announcement when the full compose is done,
but the above Xfce images are completed, so we can start testing
whenever. ;)
Thanks much.
