Re: gnome 3.4beta2 in gnome-unstable

Since Evolution is working now - thanks to the bug I reported to gnutls team and ionut biru 3.0.17-2 package I tested - is anybody able to get events to be shown after clicking on date in gnome-shell ? I filled a bug : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=673474

Re: gnome 3.4beta2 in gnome-unstable

GDM will not start (it gives the "Oh no! Something went wrong..." screen, although the "busy" cursor and the background load before the error appears). This (apparently relevant) error was in /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log:
gnome-shell: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgjs.so.0: undefined symbol: gi_type_info_extract_ffi_return_value

I'm using Nouveau with a fairly recent GFX card, so there's a chance it's related to that, but I didn't see any errors form Xorg.

you should really do a pacmana -Syu

Re: gnome 3.4beta2 in gnome-unstable

Running

gnome-tweak-tool -vd

reveals that it can't find the extension, but gnome-shell can find it because I get the old theme I used before switching to 3.4

WARNING : Could not find user-theme extension in user-theme@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com,alternative-status-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com,alternate-tab@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com,mediaplayer@patapon.info,touchpad-indicator@orangeshirt

I found out that you can't access org.gnome.shell.extensions.user-theme with gsettings and thus it doesn't work with gnome-tweak-tool.

But you can change the theme with dconf-editor . Just use dconf-editor and change the name in org.gnome.shell.extensions.user-theme.

Re: gnome 3.4beta2 in gnome-unstable

Install this extension https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/19/user-themes/

and copy this file ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/user-theme@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com/schemas/org.gnome.shell.extensions.user-theme.gschema.xml in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

recompile schemas

# glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

use gnome-tweak-tool to change the theme.

@wonder
With this information you can update the package gnome-shell-extension-user-theme

Will it be replaced by something else? (is it already inside Gnome 3.4?)

I want to test Gnome 3.4, but from what I understand; I can use the testing repo now and don't have to include gnome-unstable anymore. Is this correct?

Also when using the testing repo, is there an option to only install the latest gnome packages? I have really bad experience with some test packages.

Sorry for all the question, I just don't want to f* my setup. wink

I have intel integrated graphics. I don't have a custom xorg config.

I also have some issues with my multimonitor setup, but it happened in gnome 3.2 too (gnome 3.0 was fine, but I can't really tell when it started to go wrong). When my laptop is docked to the docking station, everything is shown on the external monitor, which is normal. But when I undock, gnome-shell does not go back to the internal monitor. I can Alt+F1 to a console, but I cannot get the shell back to the correct screen without making a hard logout (+ switching back from the console to vt7 often hangs). I was hoping gnome 3.4 would solve the problem as they have made some improvements related to docking stations, but it doesn't and it's hard to track down the culprit.

I did; that was how I installed 3.4 (by doing an -Syu from [testing]).

Re: gnome 3.4beta2 in gnome-unstable

Thanks, c-id, that fixed my issue with using gnome shell themes. Funny thing, I was using the extension from the website. My guess is something didn't clear out right when I removed the old extension.

Yeah, it's in [testing] now.

Not officially, but it's not too hard to do: try enabling [testing], running pacman -Sy gnome, and then disabling [testing]. The problem is that running pacman -Sy can cause issues: you could end up installing libraries that are "too new", breaking older packages (so if following this suggestion borks your system, don't blame me smile). In general, doing partial updates is not supported; see this page for more info.

I don't think that it would be possible since it crashes on nvidia and ATI. Also that HDMI issue sounds pretty serious. Hopefully as soon as these issues go away we'll get it

It's pretty weird though. I didn't have any of those problems while I was using gnome-unstable repository.

I am not a tester (no time for that before summer at least), so I can't confirm anything. People seem to experience these problems though. Maybe deleting the old configuration files (~/.gconf ~/.dconf etc) will fix some of the issues. That did the trick for me when moving from gnome 2 to 3.

Re: gnome 3.4beta2 in gnome-unstable

there aren't any serious issues with gnome 3.4. i decided that is better to wait 3.4.1. Until then, please report ANY bugs upstream. Everyone wants a stable release and most bugs are upstream bugs.

@arash-m did you reported that hdmi issue upstream?

I agree it's better to wait but if you still want it try build for yourself some where else (for example by JHbuild) or use virtual machine.

The only way I can access a tty is if I am not logged in. Its really weird: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29285

Edit: I am reporting this upstream also. Not sure if it is proper to post both in Arch and gnome tracker. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=673585. Post useful info here.

yeah, sounds like a good plan, though it will take a month or so until gnome 3.4.1. On the one hand it is a good thing because several serious issues will be gone (hopefully) by then, but on the other hand people would love to see 3.4 asap

Just for the record... no issues on my computer, using nvidia and the proprietary nvidia drivers.
