Fusion Linux project reboot or shutdown?

Posted on May 7, 2013 by

 
Just got reminder in my inbox that in 3 months Fusion Linux domain will expire.
 
I’m still willing to push Fusion Linux further but without other joining the project it is not likely to go anywhere.
 
What do you think is there a reason to restart Fusion Linux again?
 
What is the state of other Fedora remixes? What are the closest to Fusion doing? I saw few project also shutdown, so maybe there is no demand for Fedora remixes?

How to add autostart apps to your Fedora Remix

Posted on February 7, 2012 by

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.
