xfce HiDPI, 4.19, wayland
by Ken Dreyer 12 Jun '24

12 Jun '24

I got a new HiDPI laptop, and GDK_SCALE=2 makes things more bearable with Fedora 40's Xfce 4.18, but it's almost too "big". I would love something half-way between GDK_SCALE=1 and 2. What are other people doing about Xfce on HiDPI screens? I'm also wondering if anyone has tried Xfce 4.19 on Fedora yet? What packages did you need to modify from what is already in Fedora 40? Did you get it running with Wayland? - Ken

Live ISO install leaves Weston as the default
by Ian Laurie 21 Feb '24

21 Feb '24

Live image Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-20240219.n.0.iso if you install to disk, the default login on first boot is Weston not Xfce. I created a user account and gave root a password during the initial part of the installation, in case that matters. -- Ian Laurie FAS: nixuser | IRC: nixuser TZ: Australia/Sydney

onboard still in the Xfce spin
by Ian Laurie 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

I did a fresh install using the everything-net-install and Xfce still installs with onboard, which was orphaned in Fedora and doesn't actually work anymore. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2227390 We should probably pull it out of the spin. -- Ian Laurie FAS: nixuser | IRC: nixuser TZ: Australia/Sydney

Hi All, I noticed over on https://fedoraproject.org/spins/xfce/download That there is an ARM spin for XFce posted. Now all I need is a tablet to go with it. Anyone know of one(s) what work well with Fedora and Xfce ARM? Many thanks, -T

Should Xfce's Orage be brought back?
by Ian Laurie 09 Oct '23

09 Oct '23

Fedora retired Orage (small Xfce calendar app) some while back. I can't remember what triggered the decision (most likely a bug), but I seem to recall at the time it was perceived to be abandoned upstream. If I'm not mistaken it appears to be under active development again, so I was wondering if it should be brought back to Fedora? What prompted this consideration is that tint2 (lightweight X11 desktop panel typically used in Openbox) calls out to Orage if you click the time/date on the panel. Might be nice to have it in the repos once again. -- Ian Laurie FAS: nixuser | IRC: nixuser TZ: Australia/Sydney

by Benyamin Limanto 20 Aug '23

20 Aug '23

Hello, Sorry for keep coming back here. I just want to ask, is there anyway to make orage available in next fedora release? I been building orage myself, and it's handy as part of xfce4 desktop tools. I never built any rpms, last time I tried to build one, I failed (following hello world fedora), but I can at least building orage on Fedora 38. Is there anyway to contribute for this? I willing to learn, but it will take some times. any suggestion/help appreciated. Thank you

Now I have micro icons. Is there any way to just reduce the pop ups icon size?

So now you have a choice. If when multiple pops occur -- some right in the middle of your work -- and you do not mind having them not auto arrange out of the way, you can stick with xfce4-notifyd. xfce4-notifyd's popups are prettier too. I have been running without xfce4-notifyd for a few days now and am delighted to have libnotify's auto arrange feature back. I have also noticed that a popup I have been firing off for about five years now at log on and forgot about suddenly showed up. I reported the issue over on https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-notifyd/-/issues/106 but the maintainer closed it because it was no longer affecting me. (I reported it to help others still running xfce4-notifyd. I am not the only one running Xfce after all.) The call to libnotify in question was: notify-send -t 0 -u normal -i "${DrivePic}" "Boot Drive" "${BootDrive}" Let me know if anyone wants the entire script (it is also posted over on issue 106). You got to love Xfce! -T Be nice if we could amend xfce4-notifyd's spec. to accommodate auto arrange.

Can't turn off NetworkManager's notification message
by Aaron Lu 27 May '23

27 May '23

Hello, While running xfce 4.18 with NetworkManager under F38, after logged in, nm would show a notification message saying "Connection Established". The strange part is, the "Don't show this message again" is in gray color as if it's not clickable. I can still click it and it will then go away but next time I login, nm would again show this notification and there is no way to make it stop showing this notification message. I wonder is this a bug of networkmanager or xfce? Thanks.

Request Panel Package xfce4-windowck-plugin and xfce4-global-menu
by Benyamin Limanto 01 May '23

01 May '23

Hello XFCE4 team, I just want to thank you for creating such a great spin. I just want to ask, would it be possible to inclue xfce4-windowck plugin and xfce4-global-menu plugin in xfce4 in nest release? I see there are spec for global-menu in https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jcornuz/xfce-global-menu/ , I tried it on F38 xfce spins, it still work (for global app menu, but for windowck, seems broken, the dependencies isn't met), Is that possible to scrap the build spec from the copr git for building it in F39? 2nd is, is it possible for windowck as well? I tried build it myself on fedora 38 spins, using these dependendies autoconf intltool libtool libX11-devel libwnck3-devel libxfce4util-devel libxfce4util libSM-devel libICE-devel and it works, but I never package any rpms or create a build spec. My last question is, would it possible to make this package official part of the XFCE spin, but doesn't installed by default? So people has options for the xfce spin like other distro. Best regards, Ben
