GNOME 3.2 beta2 available in gnome-unstable

fredbezies · 2011-09-27 19:09:02

News of my upgrades. All worked well as of now. Used a quick and up-to-date mirror see https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus

Only big missing pieces for now : games, empathy and evolution. Gnome Shell 3.2 rocks and also the new official wallpaper

Thanks a thousand times wonder for your work !

I updated to the available 3.2 packages under Ubuntu and I experienced some weird corrupt text with the ATI open source drivers and mutter 3.2. ATI owners be aware.(I'll report the bugs when I get on Ubuntu again).

Is gmenu-simple-editor broken or do I have something setup wrong?

Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm having a small problem with selected things beeing pink, see: http://bildr.no/image/985264.jpeg
I have updated to the latest release but the problem have been there for a while after I upgraded to 3.2, I havn't asked before because I thought it would go away with the final realease.

wonder · 2011-09-27 19:34:04

@simongmzlj fixed in git

@nordmoen sounds like something is broken in your locale

After updating to 3.2 I still have the same errors (no wallpaper, ugly theme). I tried using a different user and there are no problems. I moved my home folder to a new empty one to see if the problem was related to a config file, but the problems still there.

Gnome must have some kind of database (out of $HOME), storing settings for each user. How do I RESET those settings?

This is very weird.

Well, I have deleted that folder. Everything is reset, but the theme is still ugly. That doesn't happen with the other users in my system.

About the awful theme try to re-install mutter and clutter.I solved it by this way.

jaco · 2011-09-27 22:50:08

So far, so good, except same problems i encountered with 3.0 : junky management of two displays when the second is "on top" of the primary and crash with extension-dock 3.2...
I suspect my video card (Intel Sandy bridge chipset) to be the culprit as i've not the problem with extension-dock on my desktop box.

I tried it like a thousand times. The weird thing is, that hapens only in my user, no the others.

Ηaven't tried it yet, but a fast question: do the extensions work on this version of gnome-shell ? Do we need any edits or something ?

The alternative status menu causes gnome-shell to crash for me. The others I've tried seem to work though.

sironitomas · 2011-09-28 01:04:34

I finally solved my problem. This is what i did:

- I changed my user's home folder to a new blank one
- I started gnome there. It started totally fine
- I copied everything (cp -a /home/new/* /home/old/) from the new folder to the old one
- I changed my user's home folder to the original one
- Gnome started as in the other home profile.

Well see the same here. Too bad. The only one I'm using. Will try git version, in order to see if it crashes too !

Reporting bug upstream could be the solution here ?!

Hey

Ok... Been testing and enjoying the betas and rc's. How do I drop gnome-unstable without breaking my system ?

Thanks

I think I explained it a bit wrong, because it happens all over Gnome, but I deleted gconf and dconf and the problem is gone

Wait until gnome 3.2 hits [testing] or [extra]. Not before.

Maybe this is the wrong place to ask, but is the broadway html5 backend working for anybody?
Everything segfaults for me when I try it. I had a look at this maybe outdated post:
http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2011/03/15 … nd-update/
So I added those options to the gtk3 PKGBUILD from gnome-unstable, but...

@Cdh broadway is not enabled but if you want to debug this issue, you should compile gtk3 and gedit with debug

I have problem with extensions Windowlist and Pidgin Status Icon.
