I saw that GTK 3.10 in the Ubuntu GNOME PPA was updated to 3.10.2 recently. Unfortunately, the patch to make indicators work properly still isn't fixed sad

Chen which patch are you referring to? I think there is trace in the patches from ubuntu package

I'm referring to ubuntu_gtk_custom_menu_items.patch. The patch allows custom GTK widgets to be used in menus, so things like the calendar in the datetime indicator will work. For now, they added a ubuntu_gtk_custom_menu_items-dummy.patch, which only makes the indicators compile. Nothing will work though sad

Thanks Chen! And do you know why unity lens application doesn't work. I get a unity-scope-loader segmentation fault? Anybody else having the same problem with gnome 3.10?
By the way I upgraded most of the packages to the last version, even though this didn't sole my problems. Vala0.18 and libgee06 for me are not necessary any more. If you want I have the tree structure with pkgbuilds and in some cases I added not phone patch

Re: Progress on Unity under Arch Linux!

For anyone who hasn't upgraded to GNOME 3.8 yet, you must switch to these repos:

[Unity-for-Arch]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = http://dl.dropbox.com/u/486665/Repos/Unity-for-Arch-GNOME-3.8/$arch

[Unity-for-Arch-Extra]
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll
Server = http://dl.dropbox.com/u/486665/Repos/Unity-for-Arch-Extra-GNOME-3.8/$arch

GNOME 3.10 packages will be pushed to the main repos later today.

Re: Progress on Unity under Arch Linux!

Unity with GNOME 3.10 is now available! Just run "pacman -Syu" to upgrade.

There are a couple things that do not work:

  1. Advanced indicator widgets, like the calendar and volume sliders, do not work.

  2. The global appmenu is broken for some apps, so it is disabled by default. To enable it, create an empty file: ~/.config/enable-gtk-appmenu

Re: Progress on Unity under Arch Linux!

Hi Chen, is unity lens application working for you? I still get segmentation fault while trying to run unity-scope-loader commands.scope.
In addition unity-lens-files works only if I copy zeitgeist-fts and org.gnome.zeitgeist-fts from ubuntu package. Is my system messed up??

Actually, unity-lens-applications is working fine for me. Maybe some packages need to be recompiled? You're right about unity-lens-files not working. I didn't even notice because I never use it. I'll see if I can bundle zeitgeist-fts with the unity-lens-files package.

Some other stuff doesn't work for me

  1. Nautilus doesn't have proper window decoration

  2. Indicator-messages doesn't work(but it stopped working long ago. Previously I was using 13.10.1.13.10.20130822.5-100 which is the latest version that works properly) 

Anyway, thanks a lot. @chenxiaolong. Today I was able to install 472 updates which were long overdue.:)

Re: Progress on Unity under Arch Linux!

What do you mean - proper window decoration ?
Something like this ?

It's Gnome 3.10 with CSD (client side decorations) and it's normal

Yes, exactly. So it's a feature of nautilus in Gnome 3.10? I can understand that they remove the titlebar. But now it doesn't even have a normal shadow.

Re: Progress on Unity under Arch Linux!

Ok I have a dependency issue which I resolved.

Now I've got these issues:
Panel and desktop get cut off and duplicate itself like so:

Re: Progress on Unity under Arch Linux!

Okay, this is screwball... I'm trying to install Unity now that Chen's got 3.10 working. I'm getting unresolved dependencies of libdbusmenu-gtk2 and libindicate. I'm fairly sure that the reason why it's telling me this is that according to the code below, Arch wants to downgrade my libdusmenu-glib package to an older version, instead of the required version.

What's going on? Am I just doing something wrong?

After some exploring, I found that a package (libdbusmenu) needed for Unity resides in two different places- the community repo and the Unity-for-Arch/Unity-for-Arch-Extra repo. Unfortunately, Arch uses the community repo first, and tells pacman to downgrade libdbusmenu to the current version, which is 12.10.2-3. That results in the unsatisfied dependencies. I worked my way around the problem by uncommenting the community repo in /etc/pacman.conf, which resulted in a large number of failed dependencies. I then re-enabled the community repo, installed the missing dependencies (which were packagekit, bamf, xapian-core, libxdg-basedir, python-httplib2, python-oauthlib, and lsb-release), then disabled the community repo again and ran the install command for Unity-for-Arch. I now have Unity re-installed on my system... now off to see if it works!!!

Re: Progress on Unity under Arch Linux!

@chenxiaolong

Today I just found that glib-ubuntu is not required by Unity-for-Arch any more, and it's not automatically replaced by the official version.
And it leads to that some other programs don't work normally.
My question is how I can get notified when some packages are removed from your repo?
Pacman seems to not be able to handle this automatically.

Just checked my /var/cache files... there is no software-center file. Is there a file that I've not downloaded?

I'll probably do a clean install of Arch this weekend. I have messed with so many packages that it could be something that I installed that keeps things working. By the way, here is my output. I don't think the missing files are the issue:

Just to be clear my unity-lens-files works after I copied zeitgeist-fts. Unity-lens-applications doesn't work and gives me segmentation fault

Actually, unity-lens-applications is working fine for me. Maybe some packages need to be recompiled? You're right about unity-lens-files not working. I didn't even notice because I never use it. I'll see if I can bundle zeitgeist-fts with the unity-lens-files package.

Chen, I see here that you say unity-lens-applications is working for you. Any ideas as to why would mine be empty? There is nothing in my applications lens, even when I type in what I want. What's strange is my unity-lens-files that the two of you say is not working is working fine for me. BTW, I'm having a segmentation fault the same as gianluca.pettinello. Here's the code:

[mikearch1@mikearchlaptop ~]$ unity-scope-loader commands.scope

Thanks for getting back to me, Chen! I appreciate it... looks like we're all having the same problem!

Re: Progress on Unity under Arch Linux!

Okay, I have another issue. When I first log in to Unity my gnome-tweak-tool settings are loaded and everything looks exactly the way that I want it (at least until Unity-tweak-tool is fixed). I have it set to Radiance for both the window setting and GTK+ and the Icons set to Ubuntu-mono-light. About 5 minutes or so into my session, Unity reverts to the default Gnome 3.10 settings (which are okay, but not what I want). When I run gnome-tweak-tool to change the settings, I get the following error:

[mikearch1@mikearchlaptop ~]$ gnome-tweak-tool
WARNING : Shell not installed or running
WARNING : Error detecting shell
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtweak/tweaks/tweak_group_shell_extensions.py", line 284, in __init__
    raise Exception("Shell not running or DBus service not available")
Exception: Shell not running or DBus service not available
WARNING : Shell not running
None
INFO    : GSettings missing key org.gnome.nautilus.desktop (key computer-icon-visible)

Obviously the shell isn't running... I would assume this would be the gnome-shell that Unity runs on. Any recommendations to fix it?
