g-i-s third party software enable?
by Chris Murphy 08 Apr '17

08 Apr '17

Fedora 26's g-i-s doesn't ask the user if they want to enable 3rd party software sources. Is this expected? When I try to install H.264 plugin, it first asks if I want to enable 3rd party software sources, while also claiming this plug-in is provided by "fedora" so the dialog doesn't seem applicable off hand. I filed a software bug, but haven't filed a g-i-s bug. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1440331 -- Chris Murphy

Discussion about GNOME extenstions experience on Fedora Workstation
by Ryan Lerch 07 Apr '17

07 Apr '17

Hi all, After just doing a fresh install of f26 alpha, i noticed a few things we might be able to improve with how our users install and use shell extenstions. Some of the Shell Extenstions from the GNOME website are available for download from the Software app in Fedora Workstation, but this only seems to be a small selection of what is available. The Shell Extenstions area in Software also shows extenstions that are packaged up in the repos for Fedora. The questions i have here are: * How do we get more of the GNOME Shell Extenstions Site (GSES) based ones to appear? * Many of the GSES extenstions in Software don't have screenshots, and their descriptions are pretty minimal. How can we work to make these better? * A handful of the GSES ones that show in software are of questionable use for Fedora Workstation. Such as: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1139/apt-update-indicator/ * The extenstions that are in the Fedora repos are listed twice in the Software list. * We install a few of the extenstions from the repos on Workstation by default (such as gnome-shell-extension-alternate-tab) and the GSES version shown in software is the one listed as "Installed" -- this furthers the confusion of having two of the same listed in Software * None of the extensions that are in the repos seem to be installable from GNOME-Software. They just fail silently in the interface. For example in F26, i tried to install OpenWeather from the repos via Software, and it failed silently. cheers, ryanlerch

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unfortunately, circumstances make me again unable to chair this edition of the meeting. (The next one should be fine.) I need a substitute chair who can handle running the meeting and doing the meetbot stuff. Is there a volunteer? * * * If you have additions or corrections for this agenda, please send by the end of this weekend. Our meeting will be held as usual on Monday, 2017-Apr-10 at 1300 UTC (09:00 US Eastern). Since last meeting agenda was hijacked :-) here we are again: * F26 Marketing talking points - stickster * Point out URL and requesting edits (info) * Alpha release: any feedback to consider? - entire WG * Atomic Host based Workstation - otaylor * This has been continued several times, can Owen attend this week? * What are the next steps to align better with Colin's ostree work? What rel-eng, infra, other work needs owners and due dates? * Plymouth/keyboard layout issue - mclasen * https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1405539 * This is a non-trivial fix. Although now it's not a blocker, has there been any developer discussion of how to address? -- Paul W.
