Re: Error creating Xfce's Live image - Remmina

 Hello,
 
 
 I would like to upgrade the current Fedora rawhide packages for
 FreeRDP and Remmina to the latest git snapshot. I regularly use
 Remmina and one of my packages require a fairly up to date FreeRDP.
 
 Currently, if I've investigated correctly, the only consumers of
 FreeRDP are the RDP plugin of Remmina, the RDP plugin of Guacamole and
 RPMFusion's VLC (?).
 
 I'm already comaintainer for FreeRDP and maintainer for Guacamole.
 From what I've read there's not much interest in FreeRDP/Remmina, so I
 would like to maintain/co-maintain the whole stack along with
 Guacamole.
 
 
 Would it be acceptable for the people here an update in Rawhide to the
 current git snapshots? I can ask for Remmina permissions in pkgdb if
 it's ok for everybody.

Please do, I recently orphaned the package.

Best regards,
Christoph

Re: Last Minute Testing for Fedora 18 RC4

2013-01-09 Thread Christoph Wickert
Am Mittwoch, den 09.01.2013, 15:07 -0700 schrieb Tim Flink:

 The testing that we're most interested in is the various desktop
 environments with an emphasis on the display managers (gdm, kdm,
 lightdm etc.) because any show-stopping problems are most likely to
 exist there. The second most likely place is inside any of the livecd
 desktop environments (kde, gnome, xfce etc.).

I have tested Xfce and lightdm and things are fine with both RC4 and
RC3. However I'd like to ask you if we can go for RC4, because ...

 To that end, if you have the time to download RC4 [2] and run through
 some or all of the desktop test cases [3], please do. The more testing 
 we get on RC4, the easier tomorrow's decision to choose RC3 or RC4 will
 be.

RC3 Xfce x84_64 was slightly oversized with 701 MB. RC2 and RC4 on the
other hand only were 691 MB.

I've also tested the fprintd update to fix #810040, which AFAIK is the
only difference between RC3 and RC4, so I'd opt for RC4.

Kind regards,

 I present a request to not move to release F17 until the release name
 is changed in the released code.
 
 I appreciate the comments public and private but it remains that this
 name may do considerable harm.
 
  
 
 There is not formal criterion for a blocker bug. So I appeal to this
 group, as the last in the community, to present their decision that
 the release is not yet ready, for humanitarian reasons.

Humanitarianism is an universal concept that tries to establish a set of
common values not based on grounds of religion, gender or nationality,
but if I understand you correctly your concerns are religious. Correct?

 You would block if there was a flaw in an important technical element,
 but Fedora is more than technology, it is a community.

So far we had two people raising their concerns, but our community is
much bigger. We certainly don't want to offend anyone, but when dealing
with a world-wide community with many different cultures, it is nearly
impossible to it right for everybody.

 Most who communicated with me believe this is not the place to raise
 this request. That iis too late in the process. The name process was
 discussed by the board and they declined to address the concerns
 raised and defer to address naming and word meaning and connotations
 at a future release. If this had been flushed-out when the warning was
 raised, it would not have impacted the placement of the objected-to
 name in so many places and documentation and release notes. I was not
 part of those initial dialogs.

Then please be so kind as to read what has been discussed before.

It was already to late when this topic was brought up on the advisory
board weeks ago and bringing it up now is certainly too late.

The person who brought the issue to the Board's attention was fine with
our approach to address this with a connotation analysis in the future.
This requires that people speak up when the naming suggestions are
announced.

 Some have said to me that it cannot be stopped because legal or some
 other group did not object so it is ok for Testing to assume ok.

It's not so much the Red Hat Legal department. They just sort out names
that don't work for legal reasons but they don't force us to pick
anything. The reason we cannot stop it was because 1) it has already
been subject to a vote of the community and b) several groups such as
the design-team, marketing or the ambassadors already prepared for this
name.

 But also note that few women are involved in the approval processes.
 The banking crises was in part formed by many individuals sensing
 something wasn't right but did not take any personal responsibility to
 act.

I am sorry, I don't understand what this has to do with gender or
financial crisis. When speaking of woman, please note the the FPL is one
and did not have any objections.

 Consider please:
 
if one headmaster says the release is inappropriate to use in the
 teaching or desktop situation;
 
if one religious leader objects to its use in that the supporting
 material for the name says this is your new god

AFAIK none of our marketing materials says this.

if one advocate of equality for women speaks up

Would you mind explaining what this has to do with equality of woman?

if one government department says its use violates discrimination
 in the workplace laws

Again I wonder what this has has to do with discrimination. Would you
mind to elaborate this one, too? 

if one parent objects
 
 and it is picked up by the press
 
  
 
 I don't know the future, but I think that releasing with this name has
 the potential to be a destroyer of the momentum that the contributors
 to Fedora with the support of RedHat have worked to build. 

I agree we should be more careful in the future, but this requires that
our community speaks up as problems occur and not 6 months later.

 I'm not a Fedora packager but I do read these mailing lists

 In an ideal world, rawhide would be updated at the same time that F15
 is. However, because some packagers and, indeed, entire teams are
 focused exclusively on the F15 branch, large sections of rawhide are
 months behind the packaged versions in F15 branch.

 That is a good point. We should perhaps add a gnome-session -

It's not (only) about a few megabytes on installed system but about

be larger than CD size then.

 Any particular reason, Xfce spin is not using a different DM?

Because there is no good alternative:
  * SLIM has problems with ConsoleKit and is dead upstream
  * LXDM is does not offer a keyboard selection and is broken in
many ways, too.
  * Light-DM is not yet packaged but also kind of broken

 Note that live spins should be getting back some space (probably about 50 MB
 for CD size images) this release as the xz stuff is coming together. I have
 already had a successful test fo a spin using xz and have asked nirik to
 start using xz for the nightly composes. So hopefully they'll be a noticeable

You need to open a console-kit session for your user. You can do this by
calling ck-launch-session. Please try changing /etc/sysconfig/desktop

 Any particular reason there does not exist polkit-lxde and polkit-xfce?

The reason is that it's called lxpolkit.

 IMO,  you can just use your provenpackager rights for making such
 changes yourself.   It doesn't affect anything except LXDE and you are
 the LXDE maintainer in Fedora.  

In the past I've had some troubles with the maintainer of the package in
question and don't want to have more, so I stick with the normal
procedure for now.

 FYI the package is assigned to Orphan Owner which indicates it's
 dead hence it should be removed from the distro.

Huh? https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/polkit-gnome

Not that the owner of the package is not the person I was referring to.
I was talking about the person that did the latest builds.

  Installed lxde-x86_64-20100806.15.iso, and everything seems to work.
  However, upon starting X (from runlevel 3) I get the following error:
  
  Remote Exception invoking
  org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Authority.RegisterAuthenticationAgent

  org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1:
  org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent

  Looking in /etc/xdg/autostart, I see two invocations of polkit:
lxpolkit.desktop
polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop
  which come from
lxpolkit-0.1.0-0.1.20100402git5087383.fc14.x86_64
polkit-gnome-0.96-2.fc14.x86_64
  respectively. Eliminating the latter seems to be the fix

polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop has NotShowIn=KDE; but
lacks LXDE. I requested this on the desktop list more than half a year
ago, but so far nothing has happened. Therefor I opened
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=622580 now.

 Thanks for testing. Looks like something LXDE team would like to know
 about. I guess the LXDE spin kickstart should be adjusted to not include
 polkit-gnome, if that's practical?

Thanks for the heads-up. I have fixed this in 
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git;a=commit;h=5170738dfcececf3843ab0fb139375c0ef56830b
