Set default background image on Fedora's KDE desktop
by Danishka Navin 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hi, I used following in my kickstart file to set my own background image for a Fedora 14 based remix. But it was not changing the default baground image for KDE Desktop. Still showing Fedora default (default wallpaper of official fedora release) background Image. Highly appreciate if you could tell me how to fix this. gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -s -t string /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /path/to/your/wallpaper >/dev/null btw, I could not find any thing on https://fedorahosted.org/kde-settings/ Thanks, -- Danishka Navin http://danishkanavin.blogspot.com http://twitter.com/danishkanavin http://identi.ca/danishka

Robotics Spin
by Tim Niemueller 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Hello Spins SIG. The Fedora Robotics SIG is undertaking an effort to create a Robotics Spin. The main idea is to have software on a LiveDVD providing a ready-to-use robotic simulation environment, with a demo application to introduce you step by step to the available software. Additionally, we want to add as much robotics related software as possible, ranging from packages for hardware access (laser scanners, robotic arms) and robotic middleware frameworks, to full-blown simulation environments and libraries relevant for robotic applications like vision processing or task control. The wiki page is at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Robotics_Spin. We are currently working on the kickstart file and aim to add it within two weeks time. Any comments about the proposal, form, content are deeply welcome. We have also proposed this as a F-15 feature at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RoboticsSpin. Best regards, Tim, on the behalf of the Fedora Robotics SIG -- Tim Niemueller <tim(a)niemueller.de> www.niemueller.de ================================================================= Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Server spin
by Daniel Mach 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Hello, we'd like to start Server spin. I've already created a spin page[1] and I'd appreciate any feedback from Spins SIG. The spin doesn't exactly follow the rules, since we use a script to generate the kickstart file[2]. Do you think it's appropriate to keep it this way or should I change it? The reason why I do it this way is, that pungi doesn't pull optional comps packages in the media kit. Any idea how to work this around without having an extra script? thanks, - daniel [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Server_Spin [2] http://dmach.fedorapeople.org/server-spin/

Obsoleting the BrOffice.org Spin
by Igor Pires Soares 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

Hello folks! It has been five happy releases that we ship the Fedora BrOffice.org Spin and now it is time to say goodbye. For me it is a happy goodbye as well. Fedora 15 will be shipped with LibreOffice and fortunately we don't have to worry anymore about trademark issues and lawsuits therefore I'm obsoleting the BrOffice.org Spin. I would like to thank Paul Frields and the Fedora Board for conceding the trademark approval, Jeroen van Meeuwen for the very first kickstart reviews, Bruno Wolff III for helping on last minute issues for Fedora 14 release, Junior Wolnei for testing the input methods, Rodrigo Padula and the Brazilian community for supporting this effort and the whole Spin SIG for wisdom during these two years and a half. I really appreciate that and you all can make sure that you helped to solve an important legal issue every release since Fedora 10. Cheers! -- Igor Pires Soares Fedora I18N/L10N QA Fedora Ambassador (Brazil) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Igor
