RPM's For ClipGrab

2011-07-30 Thread Manuel Escudero
Hi!

Today I found Fedora Specific RPM packages for ClipGrab, a GUI tool for
Downloading
Youtube Videos. The thing is, the binary file that the original developers
give away
for general linux use didn't work for me and I wasn't able to compile it by
source,
so I went to RPMFind but didn't found anything... Searching in the web, I
found a repo
of an OpenSUSE user that made Fedora RPM Packages for this app and I tested
the 64 bit one in my F15 system, worked great.

Uploaded the 32  64 Bit RPM's to my CDN and also the SRC.RPM:

32 Bits:
http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/xenodecdn/clipgrab-3.1.0.1-2.1.i686.rpm

64 Bits:
http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/xenodecdn/clipgrab-3.1.0.1-2.1.x86_64.rpm

src.rpm:
http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/xenodecdn/clipgrab-3.1.0.1-2.1.src.rpm

I'm posting this here in case someone is interested in pushing this RPM's
into
RPMFusion or something like that, the repo where I found them is this one:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Faster3ck:/fasterindesign/Fedora_15/

And if you want some more information about ClipGrab:

Have a Nice Day.

Need Little IT advice Here...

2011-08-11 Thread Manuel Escudero
Hi, I was Wondering if there was a tool for Linux in general
that let me undo the system changes at reboot or something
like that, For example:

I want to set a standard configuration in a machine and then
let that machine to be used by many users, but as soon as
the user Log Out (preferably in that moment)
I want the machine to undo all the possible
changes the user may have done while he/she was using it.

I've seen this behavior on Windows Machines in Schools and Offices,
and I know it has something to do about a server controlling all the
individual computers but I want to apply that behavior to a Single Linux
computer without having the server in the middle...

If there's not a General Linux Tool I would like to Know wich
distro and desktop enviroment are the best choice to get this done,
using what tools,

P.S. it's like... Having a customized LiveCD Behavior but with
the system installed, so if I need to do changes, I can ensure I can
do them without many problems, and then Lock the system again...

Hope somebody knows,

Thanks!

[RPM] for Jokosher 0.11.5 (F15 noarch)

2011-09-15 Thread Manuel Escudero
Hi there Fedora People!!

One of my biggest passions in life is audio editing, so when I started using
Linux I found this friendly (yet powerful) audio editor called Jokosher.
When I
installed Fedora 15, I realized that jokosher wasn't added to the F15 repos
and I missed it a lot, so I built an RPM using the lastest source code the
jokosher developers have on their website:

http://www.jokosher.org/

and now I want to share it with you guys, so if someone wants to
add it to the official repos that might be awesome, the download
links are down here:

RPM -
http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/xenodecdn/jokosher-0.11.5-0.fc15.noarch.rpm

SRC.RPM -
http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/xenodecdn/jokosher-0.11.5-0.fc15.src.rpm

it's a noarch package so it can be installed in both 32 and 64 bit
systems,

Enjoy!

 I pulled the SRPM and gave it a look over. Pretty good overall! I'm
 not sure how much you've packaged before but I couldn't find much
 wrong with it. Here's what I did find:

 1. Why is the license GPLv2+ with exceptions?
 2. I got rid of %clean and rm -rf %{buildroot} in %install. You
 don't need those anymore.
 3. I got rid of a lot of the white space in the description and fixed
 one spelling error (rpmlint is your friend).
 4. %exclude in %files for the Profiling.py file is not the way to go.
 That works well for excluding files you want in a separate
 sub-package. In this case because the file (nor the byte-compiled
 versions) are needed at all, I used rm -f
 %{buildroot}%{python_sitelib}/Jokosher/Profiler.py* in %install
 instead.
 5. I changed the release to 1 since it's from the stable source
 instead of a pre-release checkout.
 6. Added python2-devel as a build requirement[1].

 Here's the updated SRPM:
 http://hobbes1069.fedorapeople.org/jokosher/jokosher-0.11.5-1.fc15.src.rpm

 So the question remains, instead of seeing if someone else will submit
 it, why not submit it yourself?

 Thanks,
 Richard

Hi Richard:

I'm not much of a packager, just learned the basics experimenting
with Kmess some time ago... What I did was pulling an old RPM from
F14 with pretty old Source code and then Rebuild a new package with
the lastest source code, making some very little changes to the spec file.

Humm I might be interested in pulling it into the repos if I knew how
to do that but I'm not informed about that topic very much, so Don't
Know how to submit it :S

 Maybe you get more feedback if you make it a F15 feature:

 Also you might get more feedback from potential users, e.g. if you ask on

1) I was the one who put a google wave  link in the wiki, I tought it might
be a good way of comunication because anyone with a Gmail account can acess
to a wave and use it. If someone do not have a Gmail account he/she simply
can use the IRC, can contact anyone that's helping via their wiki's and also
can use this mailing list. I do not see any problem there.

2) I think the final goal of this is to have an app that could be packaged
and used in fedora 15 or a future release as till said, but we're just
starting... let time be time :)

I'm here for anything you need.

P.S. I wrote an article for the Fedora-LATAM magazine about this project.
Maybe with that we can broadcast wider and get some more help. The magazine
is going to be released on september 5th.

 The motivation for this system was that when we managed to break
 PackageKit's notification system, we couldn't use the PK notification
 system to tell people to install the update to fix the PK notification
 system. =)

 (I suppose if we have two mechanisms, we'd have to try really hard to
 break both of them at once. But I'm not really sure if a generic
 mechanism for us to spam the user is a great idea.)

We're Losing here:

a) Yes. My principal underground propouse with this idea was creating a
Notification System that might be useful for all distros. That's the why I
suggested the Name Hermes for the project

b) Let's test it first in Fedora and see how it goes, my idea was having a
notification system that let the user Choose between what kind of news they
wanna recieve in some part of the instalation process (trough anaconda) so
if they want the notifier ON they would have that option during the install
and they will be able to choose between feeds.

By example, if I wanna recieve news about bugs, Everytime there's a problem
like the update bug in Fedora 13 my notifier will pop out from the tray and
will inform that to me as packagekit does when there's a update available
and some seconds later it dissapears but I can still read that by clicking
in the information button of KDE at the end of my panel.

By other hand, if one user wants to recieve all the news from all the fedora
planet's blogs, obviously that user is going to recieve tons and tons of
notifications...

In few words, my idea (Hermes) was focused in building a Feed Parser
customizable by the user that can be turned on/off trough anaconda the first
time the user installs...

For more details I invite you to read the full thread about hermes, wich was
born in the ambassadors list, here's a digest just to call it something:


http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/ambassadors/2010-August/015238.html

(That's the first message and the thread continous to the last message when
mahmoud told me we're switching to the devel list)

Once you're awared about everything, I think it's going to be easier start
joining ideas for the goal :)

@Jaroslav: The idea is to have a way to communicate Fedora with the user and
viceversa... If Fedora has another Important Bug like the Update One in
Fedora 13
Hermes will tell the user inmediatly and it will say the user how to fix
it. The idea is to have not only a notification system, but also a way to
keep the user in touch with Fedora.

I think that if there's already a plasma widget for a RSS Feed Parser (Or a
screenlet in case of gnome) we can start working from there... I'll also
would like to offer the user a search bar in hermes
that uses fedora's database to give search results to the user, so when
someone using fedora wants to know a HowTo instead of using Google,
they'll have the option of Fedora answering them

@Garret: Many things are not the job of an operating system already... The
idea is to transform Fedora in more that just software... Let's transform it
into a intelligent enviroment concerned about it's users
and powered by it's community...

Well, now I have free time, let's see... I've been investigating and there's
a Plasma Widget called RSSNOW, That's for KDE...
and For Gnome and derivates, there's a Feed Reader Screenlet... We also
have a Fedora Search Engine
So I was thinking in something like this:

http://ubuntuone.com/p/DuN/

I dont' know if it's possible to tweak the code of these apps, Or we can use
Google Gadgets as a Base, we build a Feed Parser that let the user suscribe
to a fedora Feed (Like planet's one or the twitter/facebook ones or
something else) so the users can select what kind of news they wanna recieve
and everytime there's a new
update the parser pop out and send a visual notification to the user.

Now, this is the Fedora search engine:

http://ubuntuone.com/p/DuP/

I was wondering if it's possible to integrate a search box into hermes that
uses that engine as a base...

I wanted to share a video of the basic idea but these pictures are enough
:)

 The start.fedoraproject.org search engine is nothing but a Google search
 box. AFAIK, there have been discussions on the advisory-board list that
 something should be done with it, either make it to redirect to
 fedoraproject.org or something else.

We have to continue! I propouse using Google's stuff in order to have a
Standard for all desktops and maybe linux distros...

By the moment I've created a Fedora's search engine for hermes, here is
the official announcement:

Quoted Mail:

Hi! I've been working in a project called Hermes (For more information
refer to: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Hermes) The idea is to build a Feed
Parser
customizable by the user that notifies when there are important news... As
an additional feature I wanted to integrate a FEDORA SEARCH BOX, so I tought
I might
use the one that's in http://start.fedoraproject.org/ But I asked some users
and I tried it discovering that that search box was a normal, common
Google's Search Box.

In order to provide a better information service for the user, I tought
that building a Fedora's Custom Search Engine based on Google might be
useful in both ways to
HERMES and the http://start.fedoraproject.org/ webpage, so I built one.

I called it the Fedora's Engine and is built over Google's CSE Technology,
it's multilanguage, UTF-8 encoded and it has two options: Search the Whole
web making emphasis in some sites or Search the Whole web

The first option makes a search consult all along the web but it make
emphasis in these sites:

http://goo.gl/cRfP (Click to see the list)

The second option give the same results as if you're searching on Google

The Search Engine has the autofill option enabled and it's fedora branded,
as you may see I included all the Fedora relevant sites so
this engine is a fully fedora search engine that we can use in the Hermes
Project and also in the http://start.fedoraproject.org/ webpage.

The code is right here: http://fpaste.org/DmBz/

You can preview the working engine here:* *http://tinyurl.com/fedorasengine

And If you want to Download the .html file with the code, it's right
here: http://ubuntuone.com/p/E04/

Hope you find this idea useful :)

 Huh? This code runs on Google's servers (it even has a google.com URL,
 which
 you tried to mask using TinyURL) and it uses Google's top secret search
 engine technology for which the code is definitely NOT out there for

 Interesting.  I can understand not wanting to promote a proprietary
 search engine on the Fedora start page, but if the idea is that Fedora
 users and contributors should be able to avoid using them altogether, I
 think that's currently pretty unrealistic.  People have questions all
 the time, and being able to search the whole web for an answer at once
 is great.  Without a web search, one has to do a separate search of each
 data source (wiki, bug database, mailing lists) of each relevant
 project, assuming those search features even exist and that it is
 possible to identify all the relevant projects in advance (harder when
 searching for work to reuse).

 I think McGrath has already mentioned that the current start page is
 only in because of its age. I am not sure how utilizing Google Search
 makes anything more open source. Its just using a web service.

 Passing additional configuration to the Google search does not make the
 whole any more open source (or less).

  and also more specific and useful for the fedora users...

 I'll buy that.

 But there's no point in improving the Google search on

I'm really busy right now and maybe I won't be able to participate, but it
will be great
if someone can test an Intel GMA 3100 (This is the graphics card I use in
F13)
because it doesn't support very well the Kwin Effects enabled and in VMWare
Player
I'm not able to have Aero Support inside a Virtual Windows 7 because the 3D
capabilities
are not recognized by the system... This issues are not present in other
distros (Kubuntu, OpenSUSE, Mandriva)
in their last versions even in LiveCD mode (where I can have a Transparent
KDE for example) and the computer is not slow.

I believe there is a problem with Fedora's support to my graphics card.

Hope someone can help to fix it in future releases...

  That's not it. Your name is entered (Chris Lumens) and from it you

  The Mac does this too, and I'm sure it's great for avahi stuff ... but
 it's really annoying for anyone using the hostname anywhere else (mainly

  Is there nowhere else that we could store a hostsummary instead of

I believe anaconda is Ok, But many users complain about it, I honestly can't
understand why.
What I can undersand and even say is that anaconda needs a little more
polished experience.

I mean, in the look part Fedora needs a re-birthday, we use same graphics
combination in anaconda,
the same Gnome theme, the same themes to pick for (gtk) and mostly the same
that when Fedora started.

I believe we need to polish that look part, as far as I understand an O.S.
Needs to be newer in each
new version not only in features, but also in look. If we can give that to
users, discussions like these ones
will be present in a fewer number.

BTRFS: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

2011-07-13 Thread Manuel Escudero
Today I'll be switching from BTRFS to Ext4 again because of the troubles
I've been having with
the New Linux Filesystem. As BTRFS is going to be the Default in F16 I
wanted the developers to
know what kind of troubles I've been experiencing with this FS in F15 so
they can take a look
at them in order to have a better F16 release:

The Good:

Since BTRFS arrived into my computer (Everything in the HDD is formated with
BTRFS excluding /boot)
I've seen a performance improvement in the data transfer part from and to
the computer (copying files seem to
be faster than before) But that's all about the good things I noticed...

The Bad:

BTRFS has reduced system's overall performance, at this point, sometimes it
is OK, sometimes it is
VERY BAD, I've noticed Performance Peaks in F15 with BTRFS and the Boot
times are not nice: I mean,
they are not the slowest ones, but they're not as good as Before in F14 with
Ext4 instead of BTRFS.

The performance Running/Launching apps has been afected too and now the PC
freezes sometimes (that never
happened in F14 unless I forced it a lot with 4 VM's to suck the 4GB of RAM
I have); And Now it freezes
very often when it wants without a lot of effort.

The Ugly:

Running VM's when having their virtual HDD's stored in a BTRFS partition is
DEATH!
They're very slow, sometimes they open, sometimes they not, usually they
freeze, You can't
work with them. Same thing about Gnome Shell working over a BTRFS partition:
it is really slow,
sometimes it reacts but most of the time is pretty unresponsive.

Reading in the Web, I found that some users think that the BTRFS poor
performance is caused by some
special kind of fragmentation it suffers, others think it's because of it's
CopyonWrite attributes and some
others blame other stuff, God Knows! the only thing I know is that BTRFS is
not ready for being
used in normal production machines (as I tought) and it needs to be fixed
before the release of F16, because it's
performance is really far from good...

Other Stuff I noticed is that with Kernel 2.6.38.8-35 the system seems to
work better that with the previous one,
just a little, but is some kind of improvement.

Here you have all the info I found on the net about BTRFS Performance
issues noticed by users:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689127

http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/13/475

http://blog.patshead.com/2011/03/btrfs---six-months-later.html

I only have a question:

Why Any Kind of VM is Sooo Slow when being stored on a BTRFS
partition? Any Way to Solve this? or at least have a BTRFS performance
improvement?

Thanks! Hope this mail help the Developers improving the new FS.

Have a Nice Day!

  I only have a question:
  Why Any Kind of VM is Sooo Slow when being stored on a BTRFS
  partition? Any Way to Solve this? or at least have a BTRFS performance
  improvement?

 Yeah VMs are a particular problem with Btrfs.  There are a ton of
 reasons for this, for example by default we use fsync.  Fsync _sucks_
 for btrfs currently, and it has historically not been a well optimized
 piece of code.  I'm working on fixing this, but it requires VFS level
 changes that are currently sitting in Al's queue.  I suspect they will
 go into 3.1 and so we can move ahead with our work, but for now, it
 sucks.  You can use cache=none you get better performance, but still
 not that great.  And this is all because of one major thing

 Btrfs has threads for _everything_.  This works out fantastically when
 you have big chunks of reads or writes you want done.  This _sucks_
 when you are doing little piddly io's.  The reason for all of this is
 because we don't want you to get bottlenecked on us
 calculating/verifying checksums, so we farm all IO and endio out to
 different threads, which as I said works out great if you are trying
 to cram gigs of data down your drives throat.

 But with VMs you are doing small scattered IO's, so the IO comes down,
 we prepare it, and farm it off to a thread and wait for that thread to
 wake up and submit the io.  Then the io is completed and that is
 farmed off to another thread and we wait on that.  This switching
 around and waiting for things to wake up is hugely painful when all
 you want to do is write a few bytes.  If you were to do

 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/btrfs/file bs=4k count=100 oflag=direct

 on a btrfs fs and then do it on an ext4 fs, you would see about a 20%
 difference between the 2.  But if you do say bs=20M, the gap closes
 quite a bit.

 I fixed part of this problem for O_DIRECT (which is cache=none with
 qemu), if the IO's are small we don't send it off to a thread but
 submit it within our threads context, which is what got us with 20% of
 ext4 as opposed to 50%.  The other half is doing the completion in the
 submitters context, which is going to take some extra work.  I'm
 fixing this in the fsync case as well, but as I said we need a VFS

  if you said that this's the current state of btrfs than it's not ready

  bleeeding edge / modern technology is not the same as dangerous defaults
  unstable / unfinsihed packages should never be default in GA nor replace
  existing and over a long time well working things - never!

 You might have said the same thing about ext4 in Fwhatever it was
 and yet, here we are, shipping it as default for many releases now, with
 little trouble.

 Not every big change to Fedora breaks badly, although I can see how some
 might get that impression.   ;)

Josef Couldn't say it better:

Let's not be dramatic... I'm pretty sure Fedora Developers are not going to
make the Switch to BTRFS in F16 if it's not ready, that's why I sen't my
feedback
and little investigation, in order to help them track down the issues before
anything
gets released, that's why we work as community and I'm pretty sure that
everything is
gonna be Okey.

P.S. Now I'm in ext4, almost finished reinstalling my system ;)

Unity For Fedora (As in OpenSUSE or Arch)

2012-01-25 Thread Manuel Escudero
I don't know if you're aware of this or not, but a user managed to
port Ubuntu's Unity to OpenSUSE 12.1 as you can see here:

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_Ayatana

And also I've been told this desktop is available for
ArchLinux now as well... As for this facts I was wondering
how feasible is to port Unity to Fedora as well (Now that
we have OpenSUSE RPM packages of the Unity sources and deps
available to play with) and if someone is interested in trying
to bring the Unity Desktop to Fedora

If no one is, I was wondering where is a good place to start
trying to do it so I can try it myself and then maybe I gather some
other interested ones...
