Request Panel Package xfce4-windowck-plugin and xfce4-global-menu
by Benyamin Limanto 28 Apr '23

28 Apr '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

Fedora 38 Installer Desktop Icon Not Marked as Executable
by Sean Motles 11 Apr '23

11 Apr '23

Hi all, I've been testing out the installer for F38's XFCE spin (Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-38-20230222.n.0.iso) and noticed that the liveinst.desktop desktop entry is not marked as executable and as a result there's a prompt for "Untrusted application launcher" when attempting to launch Anaconda. Is this worth a bz report? Best, Sean

Xfce 4.18 on Fedora
by Mukundan Ragavan 18 Jan '23

18 Jan '23

FESCO approved Xfce 4.18 change request for Fedora 38. I have now completed building all the released Xfce 4.18 packages and have tested upgrade to 4.18 packages from a Fedora 37 fresh install and everything appears to work as expected. To be clear - this involves upgrading F37 to rawhide (to be Fedora 38) and things seem to work as expected. Xfce 4.18 feature list is here - https://www.xfce.org/about/tour418 Bugs, if any, can be reported as usual on bugzilla. Testing is appreciated. *********************************** For *Fedora 37* I also built Xfce 4.18 packages for Fedora 37 on COPR (link below) https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nonamedotc/xfce418/ I have upgraded my primary desktop using this COPR and future updates will become available until Fedora 38 is released. Do *not* file Xfce 4.18 bugs against Fedora 37. These are not "official" packages. Mailing list discussions are welcome. Mukundan. -- GPG Key: E5C8BC67

Fedora XFCE Spin Improvements
by exDragon945 12 Dec '22

12 Dec '22

Description of problem: Default interface needs to be more usable. The following improvements should be made. 1) Change the default menu from Application Menu to the Whisker Menu with name showing. Whisker Menu Icon only is to small to click on. 2) Set Whisper menu to open by default on Windows Key. Most people are use to that. 3) Fedora logo for the Whisker menu would probably look nice as a default 4) Screen casting needs to be built in. Perhaps an implementation that can go on the XFCE4 menu as an icon that can be pressed to open a menu option. I am not aware of any casting solution in Linux that works on Fedora. 5) There needs to be a way to handle programs freezing up that doesn't lock up the interface. Right now, a program ran in Wine that freezes up will lock up the computer so you can't do anything. Alt+Tab does not work. Alt+Tab needs to work in no matter what program freezes up. 6) Open Directory buttons in browsers need to actually open a directory and not open some search tool. 7) Folders need to have a built in File search by default. The light weightness of XFCE needs to be maintained in this new file explorer. 8) Consider having default tools installed so people more unfamiliar with Linux have some default they can use and learn things on. For example, have Gimp and Kdenlive installed by default. I don't know if those are the best defaults but that is an idea. 9) It needs to come with an software manager that can handle the installation and updates of FlatPaks. 10) DNFDragora should not have the default category label width so far apart that you can't see the fact that there are more then two categories describing a piece of software. 11) Transferring files should not lock up the interface.

Updates to Rawhide toasted Xfce in VirtualBox guest
by Ian Laurie 24 Jun '22

24 Jun '22

I updated a VirtualBox Rawhide guest that was running kernel-5.19.0-0.rc2.21.fc37.x86_64 (so not too far out of date) but on the next boot slick-greeter worked, but after login to Xfce I had a functioning cursor but a black screen. I'm only running Rawhide with Xfce so don't know if other GUIs are impacted. Is anyone else seeing something like this? -- Ian Laurie FAS: nixuser | IRC: nixuser TZ: Australia/Sydney

Hello everyone, I was packing xfce4-dockerlike-plugin and had an issue for docklike.desktop file as "Package installs a %{name}.desktop using desktop-file-install or desktop-file-validate if there is such a file".

Hello everyone, I saw incorrect-fsf-address error when I'm testing xfce4-taskmanager with rpmlint and I've created an issue in xfce4-taskmanager(*) about it. Then it's turns out that a lot of Xfce components has outdated license, so new issues created. I'll keep you informed of developments as they happen. * https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-taskmanager/-/issues/49 BR, Ali --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Finland Oy Registered Address: PL 281, 00181 Helsinki Business Identity Code: 0357606 - 4 Domiciled in Helsinki This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
