Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

Did they remove tabs from gnome-terminal?

No, just "New terminal" and Ctrl+N mean open a new terminal window, and Ctrl+T (tab) means new tab.

You can also change the behavior of "New terminal" so that it opens a new tab instead of a new window via Preferences.

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

just upgraded from gnome-unstable.
everything working great so far, apart from sushi having some graphical glitch which basically makes it unusable.

RAM usage seems to be significantly lower than before, and everything feels slightly smoother although that could be just placebo, or maybe they just sped up animations a little bit.
Didn't notice any improvement in startup time though     edit. after few logins I can say gnome-shell really starts a lot faster as well. It just wasn't that noticeable when I first rebooted after the upgrade.

oh and kudos to JGC for all the hard work :)

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

I may have found a bug with Nautilus. Whenever I select a network share in Nautilus' side pane, it takes me to the home directory of the user I logged in as instead of taking me to the directory I told it to mount in the "Connect to Server" dialog.

Can anyone else reproduce this behavior?

This happens to me on 3.10, so it would appear to be either an old bug, or expected behavior. You'll have to ask Gnome devs about that

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

As for gnome-terminal... it needs a utf8 locale, C locale won't work anymore.

So is this incorrect?

$ locale

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

make sure you have the glib2 from the unstable repo installed. That is what solved the black screen issue for me

I don't really know what I'm doing.

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

And use this order for repositories, pasted from my /etc/pacman.conf

[gnome-unstable]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community-testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[multilib]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

is it essential to enable testing and community testing?

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

It is mandatory to active both with gnome-unstable or kde-unstable !

Just updated to 3.12 and works fine. Some nice changes in there, but the missing close button on Evince is irritating

Which missing close button ? Have it on Evince 3.12.0.

No. I was wanted to be "complete". Both unstable repositories are set up to be used with testing.

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

For those of you that are using unstable to upgrade to gnome 3.12, what happens once the gnome-stable repository is updated?  Can you simply remove the unstable repository and everything will continue as normal?

Unstable packages will be moved to testing. And unstable repository will be cleaned up. Removing it in /etc/pacman.conf will be the only thing to do. Or you can comment it. Doing so since Gnome 3.0 back in april 2011.

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

I upgraded and have a couple of things.

First, an odd bug that I am not sure if it has to do with gnome 3.12, firefox, some firefox add-on, or what. But . . .  when I do a google search I can now NOT follow the link in firefox. I have to click on the little drop down, select "cached" then click the link in the box that google provides that says "hey, this is a cache of <url>"

This ONLY happens in firefox. It ONLY happens under gnome 3.12, not KDE or XMonad. It only happens (so far) on Google search results. I have not yet tried other search engines.

Second, I know that gnome software has an issue with their package management system not playing with pacman. Is there a way to create app folders with out it? That bit of functionality was something I was really looking forward to, but if there's no plan to have Software available on arch, then are arch users simply not going to have that other UI functionality that provides? Or is there a way to do that outside of Sofwtare?

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

I've upgraded sucessfully, upgrade went smooth. Until now I found some issues:

- Bluetooth in Settings says "No bluetooth adapters found", but previously paired mouse and keyboard are working.
- Can't enable or disable Wi-Fi.
- Multimedia keys stopped working (Brightness, Volume and others).

Someone posted a way how to add folders manually here:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 4#p1399044

I found out on #gnome-shell that menu editors like alacarte won't work anymore since they aren't using the menu specification anymore.

Commenting out the gnome-unstable repository and running

pacman -Syuu  # two 'u's to downgrade

will restore the stable GNOME

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

Your gdm issue is a crashing X server. Probably a bug in fglrx, not gdm.

Yes, I suppose there are quite a few possible causes - fglrx doesn't work with Xorg 1.15, so I have the

xorg114

repo enabled as well...

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

I got this perl script for creating folders in Gnome 3.12. Credit goes to grawity on #gnome-shell.

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

I really don't understand why the usage of appfolders has to be that complicated. It could be so easy: right click>create new folder>drag apps into the new folder. Easy to understand, easy to handle...

Re: Gnome 3.12 Beta

It seems there's a bit of a problem with Cogl 1.18: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727325#c12

It affects Pitivi pretty severely, maybe other software too.

On fullscreen there is no close button.
