Would it be a grey area to make the Fedora typeface white in this case? See [1] for a screenshot of what we are talking about.. What would be the best way to do this? CCing design-team's list -- good idea to ask logo-related questions there. It's definitely recommended to make the Fedora typeface white in this case -- if you can't read Fedora without squinting, change it. +1, this is that the Usage Guidelines practically says. The code currently loads the png from /usr/share/pixmaps/fedora-logo-small.png and generates the Welcome to text from MgOpen Modata Bold in the same Panotone 2935 of the logo typeface.

This may mean also a good number of people to not care about a designed product, they just want the packages.

Re: [RFC] unified i386/x86_64 install media.

Instead of this I would pretty much like to have the normal install DVD being full (4GB, instead of 3.0-3.3GB as now), so when installing a computer I have more content on local media and less stuff to get from online sources, resulting in a shorter time until the computer is fully usable. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

That makes no sense whatsoever, this information is required by the developers for actually fixing the bug! In my understanding, the purpose of this tool is to make bug reporting easy, so it make sense to not ask the user questions which are better answered by the application, doing an automatic query. Trying to help the user figure out the component somehow (e.g. look up by executable name and/or look up by menu entry which does an rpm -qf to find the binary package and then queries RPM again for the matching source package) makes sense, hiding it entirely doesn't. I think by default this application (Boog) must ask by default maximum 3 questions: the application name (preferably selected from a nice list, with icons and full names), a description and maybe a summary (the summary is needed by Bugzilla). Everything (version numbers, logs, configs) else can be collected automatically. Then an advanced user can inspect/modify the data, before sending, but a beginner can just send it as is. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

While there is probably a lot of room for collaboration, those tools looks like having different targets, not replacements for each other: one is a general bugzilla client aiming to be able to work with as many ticketing systems as possible and another is intended to make bug reporting easy *for Fedora*. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

My apologies if this is already a burning issue -- I am at work, and should not spend time browsing the archives. Is Fedora really gaining that much ground with every bi-yearly release to justify that pace? Please go to http://fedoraproject.org and read the first phrase on that page: Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that showcases the latest in free and open source software After all Red Hat is not a desktop but a server, right? And Chrome could Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora are two different distros, each with its own goals and audiences. kill current races to find a desktop to compete with Windows. So why not concentrate on what Red Hat/Fedora does best? Let Ubuntu grind out Gnome and KDE enhancements. How often does Solaris release desktop distros? I think the general consensus about what Fedora is doing best is advancing technology. Do you think Ubuntu has enough power to produce the much needed advancements? -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

My experience with scanning in Fedora is so awful that I dropped any expectation: I have an old HP ScanJet 5370C, for which according with sane-project.org the support is Good (avision backend). For me the best was around F9, when it worked 50% of the time: a scan operation produced garbage, the next one was usable, the next one garbage and so on. I always had to scan twice to get something acceptable. F8 and earlier it produced garbage most of the time and in F10 the application just got frozen, doing nothing and I had to kill it. Now F11 is a new low: when pressing the scan or preview buttons from either xsane-gimp or gnomescan the result is X crashing and me seeing the GDM screen. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

X crashing does not sound like something related to scanning in particular; but it is certainly a bug worth filing, especially if it is easily reproducible. I was not sure on which component should it be reported to, X, sane-backends/fronteds, gnomescan, xsane. It crashes every time when I am trying to scan with a GUI, the only way to do somehing without a crash is using scanimage from commandline, which is aborting with scanimage: received signal 15. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ photography: http://photoblog.nicubunu.ro/ my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
