Я могу покрыть это только матом (с)

Or "FC22 has just been released".
Enlightenmen has been successfully broken  after update.
Fedora, have you ever tried to start it? It crashes even after clean install. Always.

Wayland support breaks enlightenment.
I dont currently see any reasons for wayland, so I've just recompiled enlightenment and necessary deps w/o wayland support.

  1. efl - recompile w/o --enable-wayland
  2. elementary - recompile with --disable-ecore-wayland
  3. enlightenment - recompile w/o --enable-wayland-clients
rpms're here:
www.rat.ru/astarta/enlightenment/efl-1.13.2-2.fc22.x86_64.rpm
www.rat.ru/astarta/enlightenment/efl-devel-1.13.2-2.fc22.x86_64.rpm
www.rat.ru/astarta/enlightenment/elementary-1.13.2-1.fc22.x86_64.rpm
www.rat.ru/astarta/enlightenment/elementary-devel-1.13.2-1.fc22.x86_64.rpm
www.rat.ru/astarta/enlightenment/enlightenment-0.19.4-1.fc22.x86_64.rpm
www.rat.ru/astarta/enlightenment/enlightenment-data-0.19.4-1.fc22.noarch.rpm

btw,  konsole misses packages dependencies. So if you do not have whole KDE and want to use  konsole, you'll have to find out and install missing packages :)

[Fedora10] KDE4.2 is out!

Congrats to everyone using Fedora10 &KDE!
FC has updated KDE just today, now we can enjoy 4.2 version.
I even noticed that a few my bugs were fixed, licq can now dock normally, hurray! That was really annoying bug for me.
konqueror doesn't fail browsing samba anymore, even more annoying bug :-)

Get more info here.

RH you're the best :)

mood: happy :-)
music: The mill

Fedora 10 или "Пилите, Шура, пилите"(с).

Доставила она мне свою долю маленьких радостей :)
Фрустрируют некоторые особенности в ней, откровенно говоря. Удивило отсутствие xorg.conf по умолчанию, новый метод графической загрузки по началу напугал - сине-белая полоса внизу на черном фоне, я аж решила, что с графикой какие-то беды :) Нет, ничего, так и задумано:) в ставшем уже родным /etc/sysconfig/init отсутствует привычный "GRAPHICAL=", так что этот графический уж0c пришлось выключать убираением rhgb из параметров ядра.
xine при запуске радостно упал в кору. o_O Ну что-ж, бывает, не удалось ему подружиться с pulseaudio, благо, запуск xine'а с alsa проблему решает.
На xmms2 (точнее его графический фронтент) лучше даже не смотреть, работать-то оно работает, но выглядит уж больно страшно.
Несомненно порадовало наличие 64-битного флеш плагина для firefox. Работает, сразу, без каких-либо нареканий.
Окончательно убрали мой любимый kuickshow :( Замена нашлась -- после соответствующей настройки Gwenview начинает откликаться на привычные хоткеи.
kde4 уже на пути к состоянию, которое можно назвать "работает", периодчисески что-то падает, но так редко, что этого можно не замечать.
Огорчила samba, в консоле все монтируется отлично, файлы на удаленной шаре доступны, но ... если браузить удаленную машину в konqueror/dolphin, то нам мило сообщают, что smb <что-то там> died unexpectedly :)
Так что, по первым ощущениям, федоре 10 -- твердая тройка :)

[Fedora Core 9] still a little buggy :-)

Everyone, who ever spoke with me about linux, knows my loyalty to Fedora Core distribution line.
I do agree, that I'm some kind of guinea pig for distribution makers for testing different (usually not very stable) software.
I do agree, that sometimes I'm forced to be one of the first who has to learn new features, differences in configuration files and ways for the software and spend time with learning this. Truly speaking, I like this and actually having to deal with configs/options is that I like in Linux.
I do agree, that I have to test kernel, which sometimes brings surprises (later about this), but in the same time, new kernels give me ability to have new (which doesn't mean "better" :-P ) hardware and play with drivers. Please, do not tell me, that it's stupid time-spending, this is my choice and smth that gives me some pleasure, and actually sometimes it can help me in my work, where it's important for me to stay in touch with kernel/software news.
And of cause, I do agree, that for many features I have to pay with system resources :-) This the way how the software industry develops, and smth we can't change :)
Being agree with all the above, I have FC9 on almost all my computers, including the one I mainly using during work-hours, with the later I seen a few fun facts.
Fist of all (and the ones, that upsets me much), kde4 (included to FC9 by default) can't work with dual-monitor systems. kde4 simply doesnt start on the second monitor (X-server starts, kde4 -- not). KDE3.5 -- works, gnome, fxce from FC9 -- works, KDE4 -- not :) According to some info, found in google, this seems to be a known kde4 bug, so I can nothing to do, but wait for fixing and using xfce :)
Second and the most finniest -- 2.6.27.5-41 kernel (the latest for today) oopses immediately after I plug my SonyEricsson w380i phone in and choose "phone mode" option to allow the phone to charge from USB :) FC9 kernel has new driver called cdc_wdm and it's probe functions fails with null-pointer difference which causes the crash :) Sometimes, I've to reboot this system, so I've added lots of printouts to the probe function cdc_wdm and already localized the crashing code, so the fix is coming very soon (till the next time I'll have to reboot my comp and a few more reboots to test ) :-)
