[opensuse-xfce] How to disable default checkbox?
by Kyrill Detinov 17 May '15

17 May '15

Hello. I open an unknown file and see a dialog to choose an application. Probably, I don't want to use the same app for a next file. But the checkbox is always checked. http://susepaste.org/view/simple/82368946 How to uncheck it by default? -- WBR Kyrill

[opensuse-xfce] "Install/Remove Software" in menus and in a "Settings" window
by Kyrill Detinov 31 Mar '15

31 Mar '15

Hello. We are missing the "Install/Remove Software" item in menus (at least in Whisker). That was very useful. And I still have the "Install/Remove Software" item in the "Xfce Settings" window: http://susepaste.org/view/raw/39909157 But it doesn't work: http://susepaste.org/view/raw/83312538 I have found a file "/usr/share/applications/yast2-packager.desktop" that belongs to a "yast2-packager" package. The string "Exec=xdg-su -c "/sbin/yast2 sw_single %F"' doesn't work. -- WBR Kyrill

Hello. Does anybody use Thunar Dropbox plugin? I will SR to Factory/TW then. It was recently upgraded and works well, as far as I can see. http://softwarebakery.com/maato/thunar-dropbox.html https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/X11:xfce/thunar-plugin-dropbox -- WBR Kyrill

[opensuse-xfce] Pragha player
by Kyrill Detinov 28 Mar '15

Hello. The Pragha player is in Factory. I think, we should make it a default audio player in Xfce pattern. Fedora already did. http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git;a=commit;h=676271bd http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/xfce/2012-February/001019.html -- WBR Kyrill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-xfce] ibus & xfce
by Gour 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

When I have started with openSUSE, I first used KDE, then GNOME and now settled on Xfce, but I'm still busy removing residues from the past... :-) I've noticed ibus icon in the tray and checked processes: $ ps ax | grep ibus 24480 ? Rsl 0:07 ibus-daemon --xim -d 24493 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/lib64/ibus/ibus-dconf 24495 ? Sl 0:01 /usr/lib64/ibus/ibus-ui-gtk3 24499 ? Sl 0:02 /usr/lib64/ibus/ibus-x11 --kill-daemon 24601 ? Rl 0:02 /usr/lib64/ibus/ibus-engine-simple When I tried to kill them all, I noticed that I lost my native (Croatian) characters on the keyboard and the system switched to US layout. When the above processes are running I see that terminal has correct layout. For my locale I'm mixing en_US/hr_HR: $ locale LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 LC_NUMERIC=hr_HR.UTF-8 LC_TIME=hr_HR.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=hr_HR.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=hr_HR.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8" LC_NAME="en_US.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8" LC_ALL= which I set in sysconfig editor. Now I assume (and I'm told in #xfce) that I can freely kill ibus stuff, but wonder what would be required to have proper keyboard layout in Xfce and who is autostarting ibus stuff?

[opensuse-xfce] Re: Should I enable GNOME services?

(tried to post via gmane, but it didn't work) Guido Berhoerster <gber(a)opensuse.org> writes: Hello, few days ago I tried latest Xfce on my netbook and now I got rid of GNOME and running Xfce on both of my machines. Great work!! However, I have a problem deploying keychain which can handle both ssh & gpg agents considering that gpg-agent component is broken with gpg-2.1 in gnome-keyring. > No, that is not sufficient, gnome-keyring sets some environment > variables which xfce4-session must know and that only works if > you enable GNOME compatibility mode. If you just use autostart > gnome-keyring may be running but applications will not be aware > of it. I disabled autostarting of both ssh & gpg agents, but kept PolicyKit Auth. agent autostarting. I wonder if or for what would I need gnome-keyring? The problem is that afte launching Xfce session I see the following output for 'ps ax | grep agent': 2173 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon --keep-display --write-env-file /home/gour/.gnupg/agent.info-atmarama:0 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc 2174 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon --keep-display --write-env-file /home/gour/.gnupg/agent.info-atmarama:0 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc 2212 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/lib/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 so I wonder who/what is launching the agents? Moreover, I also see gnome-keyring running: 28512 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --daemonize --login 28842 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --foreground --components=secrets and also wonder who start it? Moreover, when I try to kill gnome-keyring, logout, then re-login, keychain invokes askpasswd dialog for both ssh & gpg, but the login process does not finish and I'm thrown back to lightdm screen. Inspecting X.org.log I found stuff like: [ 23750.839] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to get session: PID 28341 does not belong to any known session but I'm not sure whether this the reason of not being able to start Xfce GUI session? This happens when I configure keychain to kick in for interactive shell session. When I tried to setup keychain to fire on login session then right after entering passwd in lightdm dialog, I get askpasswd helpers for ssh & gpg agent, but, same as before, launching of GUI session is not completed, Xfce4 session dies and I'm back to login manager (lightdm) screen. I'm *very* happy with Xfce and want to stay with it, but, otoh, need working ssh agent when logging to remote servers as well as gpg agent considering I'm signing my email and commit messages. I'm optimistic that keychain (which has support for gpg-2.1.) can me made to work, but it looks I'm simply missing some details not being familiar enough how gnome-keyring and agents are started under openSUSE. Any hint? Sincerely, Gour -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+owner(a)opensuse.org

Fwd: Re: [opensuse-xfce] Make Xfce STOP automatically starting default window compositor
by Nenad Latinović 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

Hi gber! I use it because the effects (fading and such) are much more smooth + it eliminates screen tearing completely. I recognize the old compositing manager by more snappy effects and loads of screen tearing. Then i go and check the window manager tweaks, and see it's on, even though i turned it off (because compton won't work otherwise). Any other way to eliminate screen tearing with the default compositing? Kind regards and many thanks again, gber. --- Nenad Latinović nenad.latinovic(a)posteo.de On 02.03.2015 09:28, Guido Berhoerster wrote: > Hi, > > * Nenad Latinović <nenad.latinovic(a)posteo.de> [2015-02-28 18:07]: > >> Hey guys.

[opensuse-xfce] Make Xfce STOP automatically starting default window compositor
by Nenad Latinović 02 Mar '15

Hey guys. I'm one of those people who always change the default compositing manager to compton in Xfce. But sometimes, I see that openSUSE still automatically starts the 'old', default window compositor - how can i make it stop? Because then compton and all its effects don't work properly... To make it clear, i always untick the window manager tweaks to not start the compositor, but sometimes, it just does...
