PackageKit gtk module warning
by Michael Cronenworth 04 Jun '12

04 Jun '12

If you attempt to start any GTK2 app the following will be output to stdout: Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module" Over the course of several Fedora releases there has been a back[1] and forth[2] shift on dependencies on PackageKit-gtk{3}-module. Fedora 17 has removed PackageKit-gtk-module so now there is no easy work around. The problem stems from /usr/lib{64}/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/gtk-modules/pk-gtk-module.desktop declaring pk-gtk-module a loadable GTK module. Could the PackageKit-gtk3-module package be updated to not have GTK2 apps looking for a non-existant module?

Evince and annotation support
by Ankur Sinha 29 May '12

29 May '12

Hello folks, I've been looking for a pdf reader that provides annotation support. It's a must for us research students that need to go through large amounts of academic text. I ran into this bug[1] that says that Evince would have annotation support in F15 (It was closed as "rawhide" long back). I'm on the latest F17 system, but I can't find this in Evince here. Would someone know what the status is? I've filed a fresh bug too.[2] I'm considering moving to okular or xournal which appear to have annotation support out of necessity. However, I'd much prefer to stick to my gnome set of tools :) [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530238 [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=825198 -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha http://dodoincfedora.wordpress.com/

There are various tools for various purposes, but none that does them all (organizing, referencing, annotations etc.) really. I'm just going through their respective road maps to see what else is planned. -- Thanks, Warm regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" Please only print if necessary. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha http://dodoincfedora.wordpress.com/
