Fusion Linux 16 sneak preview
In the past we had lots of lengthy discussions how to name Fusion Linux releases. We will use female Goddess names for naming future Fusion Releases.
If you have any suggestion how to name next Fusion Linux release please share any Goddess name you like the most.
If you want to add autostart apps to your Fedora remix there is one quick and easy way to do it.
Open your kickstart file and find section that starts with “%post”. Any command that you issue in %post section run with root privileges in build environment before iso image is created.
Any application that you add to ~/.config/autostart folder start up in GNOME 3 when user logs on. To make this system wide you need to put your application shortcuts in /etc/skel/.config/autostart directory
so here is one example how your kickstart could look like:
# add synapse to autostart directory
mkdir -p /etc/skel/.config/autostart
cp /usr/share/applications/synapse.desktop /etc/skel/.config/autostart/
Now you can add any app that you want to start every time users log on.
Fusion Linux has for some time now public github repo [1].
Atfter discussion on our mailing list and on Google+ Github was chosen as coding repository.
If you wish to download whole repository as one zip file you can do that here [3].
If you wish to participate in making best Fedora Desktop Remix join our team and start contributing.
Currently only kickstart files are in github but soon icon files and fusion-welcome script will be included in github repo.

To install Google Chrome via yum you need to jump through few hoops, but once you find the url it is quite easy to do so.
For 32bit version:
yum localinstall --nogpgcheck -y https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.rpm
For 64bit version
yum localinstall --nogpgcheck -y https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
In upcoming Fusion 16.1 release GIMP will have Single Window mode enabled by default.
GIMP config that is used to enable this is located in ~/.gimp-2.7/sessionrc and this is the lines it needs:
(single-window-mode yes)
But that line is not enough, you can see here full config file.
This is first beta release of Fusion 16, and it is 64bit version only for now. This first 64bit Fusion Linux version and if there are enough people wanting this it will become a standard release.
Please test drive it and report any feedback you have, we welcome both positive and negative feedback as long as it is constructive.
Enjoy.
