desktop spin alpha readiness
by Matthias Clasen 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

Hey, as every cycle, we have a size problem with the desktop spin: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1000893 So, we need to do the usual excercise and cut stuff until it fits. In addition to that, we will have a new application installer in F20 ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AppInstaller ), which will allow us to properly present and feature applications that are not yet installed. For that reason, the designers working on the app installer, Ryan Lerch and Allan Day, have proposed that we don't install transmission, simple-scan and gnome-photos by default anymore, and instead feature them prominently in the app installer. Unless there's strong opposition, I'll drop those three from the kickstart file, and we can reevaluate the size issue on Monday.

Boxes in the default install
by Colin Walters 16 Aug '13

Hi, So I know like many problems this type of thing will go away once gnome-software is a useful mechanism to install applications and we don't need to have a massive pile of apps in comps, but: It's really catastrophic to install Boxes by default in virtual machines because it drags in libvirt which sets up a guest network at the default 192.168.122 mask which means your networking doesn't work until you either reconfigure the host or the guest: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811967 So...Boxes seems specialized enough to be a secondary installation. Can we do that, since the alternative is dubious hacks at the libvirt level?

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=955779 being ignored?
by Adam Williamson 06 Aug '13

06 Aug '13

Sorry for the kick-in-the-ass message, but https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=955779 has received just about zero developer feedback, despite being a pretty damn major problem in the F19 release. I've poked various people to try and get them to look at it, on IRC and via the bug, with no success, so now I'm trying this list. Basically, quite a lot of people with non-Shell-capable graphics hardware (or "hardware", in the case of VMs) report that they can't get from GDM to Shell. They should be getting llvmpipe rendering of both GDM and Shell, but at some point in the handoff from one to the other, everything goes sideways. They can log in from KDM or LightDM (i.e. a non-accelerated DM) to Shell successfully. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net
