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

F23: Minor problem with names for Windows partitions in Desktop &
File Mgr
by Ron Leach
List, good afternoon,
I've just finished upgrading a dual-booting Fedora/Windows netbook
from F14/XFCE to F23. I haven't been able to solve a minor
difficulty, to do with the naming of the Windows partitions.
In F23 I see a (new to me) feature that the Windows partitions
automatically appear in both the File Manager, and on the desktop.
Previously in F14, I had set mount points for the Windows partitions,
and I'd named the mount points WinC and WinD, for example, so that
when I needed to access one or the other I could easily see which one
to mount. In F23 now, though, the windows partitions are visible
already as (for example) '21 GB Volume' and '63 GB Volume'. I can
not find how or where these names are assigned, hoping that I could
have replaced those names with a named mountpoint.
In F14, I'd set my preferred partition mountpoint names in fstab, but
in F23 these partitions are not listed in fstab - despite the
partitions already being visible on the desktop and in the File
Manager. I'd prefer that F23 didn't present these partitions with
those names, and instead let the partitions exist in fstab where they
can be mounted onto more meaningful names. (I would still wish to
benefit from F23's recognition of 'removable' media which, I think,
might be a mechanism that F23 is using to present these Windows
partitions.)
Is there a way to prevent F23 using anything but fstab to create any
visibility of these (fixed, not removable) partitions? (I could
just add these to fstab myself, but I have not done so yet because I
wasn't sure whether doing so would mess things up without also
removing whatever mounting system F23 is using for them at the moment,
eg particularly on mounting or on writing anything to the partition if
2 mount points were existing/active.)
It's a minor problem but I'd be grateful for any suggestions. (It
would be handy anyway to understand the present mounting arrangement,
as well.)
