Aptivi<p><strong>FreeDesktop GitLab migrated to Hetzner from&nbsp;Equinix</strong></p><p>Starting this year, Equinix have decided to end their operations with the FreeDesktop infrastructure after support of almost five years has passed. They have set the tentative deadline of April 30th for migration to other services, and the FreeDesktop team have chosen Hetzner as the server provider. This GitLab instance was also affected, because it hosted a lot of great open source projects, such as <a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">X.Org Server</a>, <a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Mesa GL library</a>, and much more.</p><p>This migration is now complete, with most (if not all) of the work being done according to the plan outlined in this issue reported against the main FreeDesktop project (<a href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/freedesktop/-/issues/2076" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Issue 2076</a>). It caused the GitLab server to be much faster than before, which is important for anyone contributing to the FreeDesktop project, especially the developers who contribute a lot of great work to different projects.</p><p>The SSH connection has also changed thanks to this migration, along with Fastly CDN, and the new hostname to connect to the FreeDesktop Git instance using SSH has now become <code>ssh.gitlab.freedesktop.org</code> from <code>gitlab.freedesktop.org</code>. You can configure your SSH client to make an alias for the old hostname to point to the new one using the following configuration file created on ~/.ssh/config:</p> <pre>Host gitlab.freedesktop.org HostName ssh.gitlab.freedesktop.org</pre> <p>The team has prepared a maintenance tracker site, which showed a lot of green lights as you can see <a href="https://maintenance.gitlab.freedesktop.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>. Alongside this, the untagged runners for the CI workflow have become privileged without support for KVM, and anyone who requires this support must tag them with the <code>kvm</code> tag.</p><p>If you’re suffering from slow speeds while working on a FreeDesktop project, this migration is now complete, and you should be able to interact with it faster.</p><p><span></span></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/equinix/" target="_blank">#Equinix</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/freedesktop/" target="_blank">#FreeDesktop</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/gitlab/" target="_blank">#GitLab</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/news/" target="_blank">#news</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/tech/" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/update/" target="_blank">#update</a></p>

As courtesy, after I was recently made to comment on qBittorrent's ticket about supporting the XDG background application status APIs (i.e. the replacement for traditional system tray icons, and more), I have now provided that kind of information to the Transmission project as well: github.com/transmission/transm

@forteller #AppImage support is still done on a per-distro basis, and it really isn't much more than setting permission and executing certain environment variables... I think.

But mayhaps this is a job for ... #FREEDESKTOP

Hello. I'm free desktop... gief money,
We craves it, WE NEEDS IT!!

But yeah, maybe xdg-open should handle that problem. Then distros wouldn't need to do anything to get first rate AppImage support by removing those annoyances.

One can only hope.

So... I wanted to package my Python app using tkinter UI library (it is just good enough for my purpose) as a flatpak. Flatpaks are based on "runtimes" similar to docker base images.

As I did obviously not use any "big" UI framework (Gnome or KDE) and it already provides Python with tkinter, I decided to use the org.freedesktop.Platform as a runtime for my flatpak. The first challenge was to get the dbus-python package to compile, as it requires a dbus binary for compiling it. So I added the freedesktop DBus implementation. I need dbus functionallity, as it allows me to use the "XDG Desktop Portals" to interactively open files when running in the flatpak sandbox. After this, everything worked! :neocat_happy:

Unfortunately, the application cannot load any proper font, so it falls back to the 90s era fonts compiled statically into Tcl/Tk (which tkinter is based on). After some trial and error, and finding out how add custom fonts to Tk, I disovered that the freedesktop runtime does not ship freedesktop fontconfig. And also I can't add it that easily to the build step, too, as the bundled Tk installation does not link to it anyway… :neocat_angry:
