Re: It is possible to install Gnome 3.x?

i installed everything successfully from [gnome-unstable], and after "r" or restarting gdm (systemctl restart gdm.service) everything works great.  but after restarting, gdm refuse to load. X starts (i see mouse courser, but nothing else, on the background of boot messages).
any ideas?

Re: It is possible to install Gnome 3.x?

Is it normal for Gnome-Shell process to clime up to 400+mb of RAM usage after some hours of use? A restart of the shell brings it back to 150mb, at least for a time.

I've heard of GS memory leaks before but just curious to others' experiences.

Yeah I had that too. Mine was rocking at almost twice RAM usage in GS. It happens in Fedora 19 TCs too.

Ahh okay. I notice you are on NVIDIA, as I am.

Makes me a little nervous, as I remember NVIDIA systems were having memory leaks with Gnome-Shell once before but I thought it was fixed. Anyway I'll keep an eye on it, it may not get any higher than a certain point but it seems to rise a fair amount.

I don't think Nvidia is making issues here. As I have disabled nvidia on BIOS, so its intel 99% of time.

Re: It is possible to install Gnome 3.x?

Hmm... So I'm still stumped on this.  I'm using the latest updates and still freezing on boot with gdm.

I've tried enabling debugging and trying to trace through /var/log/messages.log but it's pointless since it doesn't place the errors there when it freezes.

Are the other guys that get this issue using stock kernels? I'm on linux-pf... I think I'm about to try a different kernel and see what happens.

I'll report my findings.

Re: It is possible to install Gnome 3.x?

Ok nvm, changing kernels didn't help.

If I start gdm manually my log file gets bombarded with "/usr/bin/dbus-launch[1683]: (gnome-settings-daemon:1712): dconf-CRITICAL **: unable to create directory '/run/user/0/dconf': Permission denied.  dconf will not work properly." lines so I can't really find any useful information in the logs.

Guess I'll just keep waiting and running slim in the meantime

Re: It is possible to install Gnome 3.x?

the memory leak is probably https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32484

which is supposedly supposed to be fixed in 3.8 if you are using 3.8 + a mythical future version of gjs/spidermonkey.

Re: It is possible to install Gnome 3.x?

I doubt your bug will recieve a response since the package is not in official repos.

^ what he said.

Hopefully they'll have it fixed by the time it goes into testing, if not then we can just update the bug report when they do.

Re: It is possible to install Gnome 3.x?

If I'm using gnome-unstable I'm assuming I need to be using the testing repo as well? Can I use gnome-unstable along with only the stable repos?

Re: It is possible to install Gnome 3.x?

I used testing and gnome-unstable. Maybe you can try gnome-unstable without using testing. But the odds are more breakage, rather than more stability becoz the dependency libs may exist in testing which might be required for gnome 3.8.

Yeah that's what I figured. Thanks for clarifying.

I've just tested it - works without problems.

There are only 2 things i don't like: The new alt+f2-dialog and the fact i can't set a transparent background in gnome-terminal.

Oh, and it feels a lot smoother (and faster) than gnome 3.6

EDIT: In the case gnome 3.8 doesn't work for you: You can always downgrade.

Re: It is possible to install Gnome 3.x?

The only hiccup I've experienced over the past few days of testing is that I can't get my Google account connected in Online Accounts. I've tried removing and re-adding several times, and the end result is the same -- the credentials are "expired". Anyone else having issues with this? Otherwise, I think 3.8 is a huge improvement from 3.6.

As I'm using [gnome-unstable], I've also enabled [testing] and [community-testing], though I don't think I'm using anything that's in [community-testing] at the moment.

You should check your system for scripts that set XDG_* variables in /etc/profile.d/

JGC, Thank you so much! It was not due gnome, it is all because "hawaii"-updates (they are equipped with a file "/etc/profile.d/hawaii.sh").

Gnome! Sweet Gnome!

Has anybody else experienced an issue with Empathy, Telepathy Gabble, and connecting to Facebook? Just checking if it's broken on my end or if I'm just waiting for an update to gnome-unstable

If I remember correctly I upgraded libsoup first via pacman -S libsoup and then ran pacman -Syu to update to gnome-unstable.
