if you want a package until a new version is released, get it from pkgbuild.com/~ioni/gnutls

Good on my end sir. Thx.

mine will not work either. as well as cinnamon's settings either. it does seem like gnome 3.4 is faster though. It starts up and shuts down way faster than gnome 3.2 did for me..

wait.... I can't see gnome 3.4 in the repos yet... but i obviously see it in testing.... so i assume you upgraded from the testing repo?

Hi first of all I want to thank you for getting out the update so quickly. Screen recording by using ctl + alt + shift + r is not working for me. Is there any way to see if the key kombination is set correct for this? I couldn't find it in the settings or is it a bug?

Are you using Alt+shift to switch languages' layouts? If yes, use something else.

This thread should be renamed since gnome 3.4 is now in testing

OrangeRoot1000 · 2012-04-02 14:56:01

Ioni, heftig and falconindy...

The control panel is and issue still for me. However, the Notification area and the way it is integrated at the lower panel for new events. When a message comes in the whole shell blinks. Otherwise I haven't had any issue with the shell being stable as it is currently.

** OFFTOPIC** Is it possible to change my username to gm5729?

I don't think so, in the keyboard settings it's unchecked.

The problem with gnome-control-center crashing was fixed when I switched from the open source ATI drivers to fglrx.

stronnag · 2012-04-02 17:53:32

It crashes here with the Nouveau driver on nvidia, and compared to installing nvidia's proprietary drivers, that's the lesser evil.

Crashes with the nouveau for me. I haven't tried nvidia binary drivers anyway.

Did anyone get the Totem browser plugin to play .swf videos? It's a new feature in 3.4, but it's not working for me.

Installing totem-plugin adds a "Shockwave Flash" plugin in Epiphany's about:plugin page, but no MIME types are associated with it. Maybe I'm missing a dependency?

Edit: nm, found the problem. Had to enable it in /etc/totem/browser-plugins.ini.

Is "Boxes" included in the archlinux testing packages? I couldn't find it.

mythus · 2012-04-02 22:16:43

I turned on testing today to install Gnome 3.4.
Removed old extensions.
Went to the extentions website, got the new ones that are made for GNOME 3.4.
All seems to work fine. Old selected shell theme and everything is up... however!(tm)

I cannot change the shell theme. It tells me that the user theme extension was installed incorrectly, despite the fact that I got it from the extension website. Any ideas on what to do here?

A problem appeared on one out of three (different) computers. gnome-shell crashes, glibc complains on freeing an invalid pointer. How to track it down?

This regression occurs with clutter-gtk-1.2.0 or cheese-3.4.0. You can fix it by installing cheese from the extra repsitory:

pacman -S extra/cheese

Or downgrading clutter:

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/clutter-gtk-1.0.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Investigation with GDB revealed that libnm-glib crashes when in the function _nm_remote_settings_ensure_inited() if there's no NetworkManager accessible. Found a similar bug discussion: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6999596.html

Obviously, the variable pointer error isn't initialized before being dereferenced and freed. That's sad.
Let me try the git head revision.

Yeap, the crash has been fixed by now. Thus, anyone willing to try the gnome-shell-3.4 out without NetworkManager running, should start past networkmanager-0.9.4 (or before it).

I had the same issues. Is this going to be a recurring theme with gnome? 3.6 comes out and we have to remove all extension and themes, go to default, do the upgrade and see what extensions/themes no longer work. I'm just saying this is the second time and it's doesn't seem sane. I know the Arch developers are awesome so this must be an upstream PIA?

User theme extension isn't working for me either. I noticed that the screenshot save dialog doesn't open if I press print or alt+print. however the screen flashes white, like it should if you make a screenshot, so the keys seem to be recognized.

the files now are saved automatically in ~/Pictures. You need to install xdg-user-dirs-gtk and relogin

Javafant · 2012-04-03 18:01:44

After installing xdg-users-dir-gtk screencasts and screenshots work fine.

Anyone else having issues with multiple monitors. In gnome 3.2, I could plug my tv in via hdmi and the gnome top bar would automatically go over to the tv (as I configured to do so in gnome display settings.). However, there seems to be a regression. When I unplug the hdmi, my computer freezes. The top bar does not come back over to the laptop and I have to hard shutdown. The only workaround is that before unplugging the hdmi I can go into gnome display settings and turn off the tv output. This is very annoying and I did not have this issue in 3.2. I have intel integrated graphics. I don't have a custom xorg config.

Will be for gnome 3.6, see gnome 3.4 release notes :

http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-n … ingforward

"Boxes is in the making: A brand new GNOME 3 application which allows you to easily connect to remote machines as well as use virtual machines. A first testing version of Boxes is already available for GNOME 3.4. However, it might not come included with your system yet. "
