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

Pulse audio volume control with multimedia keys
by Lorenzo Sutton
Hi list,
I've just installed Fedora 23 XFCE and it seems volume control of
PulseAudio is still problematic when trying to use 'multimedia keys' on
my laptop. (This relates to the internal sound card).
xfce4-volumed seems to have a problem with PulseAudio in that if one
mutes audio it can't be unmuted.
I'm currently resorting to mapping multimedia keys to hackish scripts
involving amixer and zenity to do volume up/down and mute and provide a
rudimentary notification.
The Arch wiki mentions xfce4-volumed-pulse [1] which is also found on
some 'rpm search' sites (which I haven't had time to test).
While the above amixer hack works perfectly (albeit rather ugly
especially concerning the notification side), I'm also wondering what
the current preferred/suggested Fedora-specific approach to this issue
is (if any).
Any input or idea appreciated.
Lorenzo.
