Btrfs Fedora Remix

 
Currently I’m testing if it is possible to create btrfs live CD-USB Fedora Remix. If this works next release of Community Fedora Remix will have btrfs by default.
 
What you need to do is to edit Fedora kickstart file. Instead of just one line that creates single ext4 root partiion you also need a dedicated /boot partition. Currently it is not possible to boot from btrfs partition.
 
Original lines from Fedora kickstart files look like this:

part / --size 5000 --fstype ext4

And you need to change so it look like this:

part /boot --size 120 --fstype ext4
part / --size 6000 --fstype="btrfs"
bootloader --location=mbr --append="btrfs"

 
Keeping my fingers crossed that this works ;)
 
UPDATE:
This isn’t working, livecd-creator just fails when use kickstart file that is edited this way. I got a tip to try one different setup:

part /boot –size=128 –onpart=sda1 –fstype=ext3
part pv.01 –size=128 –onpart=sda2 –grow
volgroup VolGroup pv.01
logvol / –size=128 –vgname=VolGroup –fstype=btrfs –grow –name=root –fsoptions=ssd

 
This works so far that it creates iso image but it is ext3 image, and not btrfs?!? Any ideas on how to create btrfs livecd is more than welcome.

Izašao je Community Fedora Remix 13.1 “Lucky 13″


 
Nakon mnogo mukotrpnog rada, štrikanja kickstart skripti, pravljenja novih rpm paketa i testiranja Community Fedora Remix 13.1 “Lucky 13″ je spreman za download.
 
Dvije su osnovne ideja koje stoje iza Community Fedora Remixa, prva je “više od upstreama” a druga je “multimedija odmah”.
 
Što znači “više od upstreama”?
Fedora je vrlo usko vezana za upstream projekte (GNOME, KDE i sve ostale) te s njima ima jako usku suradnju, takav način suradnje donosi i puno prednosti pri razvoju novih mogućnosti. No bliska suradnja s upstream projektima ima i nedostatak ako netko želi bilo što eksperimentirati s nekim promjena na desktopu to ne može napraviti u Fedori već sve treba prvo dogovoriti s upstream projektima, što ubije sve ideje u početku. Zbog toga je izgled Fedora desktopa malo “zaostao” u odnosu na druge Linux distribucije koje grabe hrabro naprijed poput Linux Mint-a. Ovdje ne mislim na dizajn jer Fedora dizajn tim radi odličan posao, već na ukupan izgled i funkcionalnost desktopa.
 
Kao je Fedora projekt omogućio pravljenje Remix-a iskoristili smo tu mogućnost kako bi napravili najbolji mogući Fedora Remix za desktop korisnike.
 
Što znači “multimedija odmah”?
Druga ideja “multimedija odmah” znači da su multimedia codeci i flash podrška odmah instalirani, nema potrebe za instaliranjem bilo kakvih dodatnih paketa.
 
Ovaj Fedora Remix možete zamisliti kako Pimy My Ride verziju Fedore ;)
 
Jedna od najvećih promjena u odnosu na sve mainstream distribucije je korištenje mintMenu-a i DoxkbarX-a na GNOME sučelju umjesto standardnih GNOME panel komponenti.
 
Ovim putem vas pozivam da se i uključite u ovaj projekt. Ako imate ideju i znanje kako ju implementirati više ste nego dobrodošli. Ako imate samo ideju kako poboljšati ovaj Remix svakako javite, bilo bi nam drago da čujemo vašu ideju, a još draže da se priključite i sami ju ostvarite. Ako nešto i ne znate pomoći ćemo vam oko tehničkih detalja.
 
Za suradnju se prijavite na mailing listu ovog Community Fedora Remix projekta.
 
 
Kako pomoći ovom projektu:
 
- ako imate ideje i znanje:
* kako poboljšati Linux Destop
* koje programe instalirati kao standardne
* koje programe izbaciti s popisa standardnih
* koje GNOME teme instalirati
 
- ako ste grafički dizajner
* pomognite nam u dizajnu web stranica
* dizajn logotipa i zaštitnog znaka distribucije
 
- ako ste web programer
* pomognite nam podići novi web site, forum i sve ostalo što treba
 
- ako ste Linux Ninja
* uključite se u direktan razvoj ove distribucije

Google wants http:// to die

 
From what Google is doing in Chrome/Cromium browsers it is obvious that Google wants http to disappear. Google is saying that http confuses regular users, but that is just pure PR nonsense and a lie.
 
The real reason is that spdy:// would confuse users, but Google is spinning it a different way and Chrome/Chromium developers must do as Google tells them to do.
 
If you aren’t familiar with spdy:// it is a new and protocol that is faster and better than http protocol for browsing, it is developed by Google.
 
Spdy hasn’t gained much traction since it’s announcement, and none of major sites uses spdy protocol yet, so to make it ambiguous Google has decided to remove http from Chrome/Chromium browsers address bar thus causing lots of havoc.
 
Chromium developers aren’t listening to any comment and just ignore all issues that have been cropping up. For me first issue is that copy/paste of url links on Linux is broken, but there are more serious issues if you read through comments.
 
Now even commentig is disabled and on the bug page there is a message saying: “This issue is read-only. New comments cannot be added.” This is a really bad move from Chromium developers. The discussion was locked on first mention of spdy protocol.
 
The obvious solution to show http:// when users click on the address bar just isn’t what Google wants, no matter what users want.
