Progress on Unity under Arch Linux!

GNOME 3.8 Info

Unity should start and run properly in GNOME 3.8 now! http://i.imgur.com/kp1d1Ch.png

Current issues:

- GNOME Terminal doesn't put its menubar in the panel (other GTK 3 apps do)
- No Unity-specific appearance settings because of no libgnome-control-center (gnome-control-center-unity will fail to compile)
- No Unity-specific time & date settings because of no libgnome-control-center
- No Unity-specific sound settings because Ubuntu hasn't ported it yet

The changelog can be found by running:

git log 941fd77..20039b2

People using my testing repo should wait until all the packages are finished building (http://cxl.epac.to:8091). People building from source should recompile all the packages in the order listed in the README. For best results, update to GNOME 3.8 first, then build the packages in a TTY or SSH session.

Let's hope that there are no more problems...I've never spent 11 straight hours trying to get Unity to work properly. Don't think I've ever stayed up past 4:20 AM either Don't be surprised if my PKGBUILDs are a little sloppier than normal

Most of the pain was due to removed or changed components in GNOME 3.8. However, I don't know what Ubuntu developers are thinking sometimes. My point: https://github.com/chenxiaolong/Unity-f … _Fix.patch

That's like trying to match:

int add(int a, int b) {
  return a + b;
}

in the source code with

float add(int a);

in the header file. How it ever compiled before will remain a mystery to me.

thanks @chenxiaolong

right now i finish to clean all and get gnome 3.8 works, for me gnome 3.8 dont start because the package gtk3-ubuntu (ver 3.6) so i make a pacman -Rnsc gtk3-ubuntu for clean all unity things and also all gnome things, clean all pacman cache and after that i reinstall gnome 3.8.1 and its works but gdm not works so i remove gdm and install lightdm with that i have right now gnome 3.8.1 working,

Yes gnome 3.8.1 works for me as well. Gtk3 is the package that breaks everything if not the right version.

samuaz · 2013-04-23 18:43:29

I do the install but for my side no works now gnome and unity are complete broken, after install i have a fresh gnome 3.8.1 installed and working.

EDIT: apparently i have no updated packages so clean pacman cache and make a update a right now are installing updates like gtk-ubuntu 3.8.1 letme try...

If your installing from the Repo it hasn't finished yet.

I'm going on installing Unity. Everything ofr the time being working.
gnome-control-center-unity doesn't compile as chen mentioned.
indicator-session didn't compile. Had to comment, in PKGBUILD, the remove testservice folder

Now I'm compiling nux. From gnome 3.8.1

Great job! Thanks!

I Found that the desktop background doesn't work anymore. I remembered that nautilus has dropped the support of desktop background. Is it due to that?

Thanks, I've fixed the indicator-session package. /test-service doesn't always get built, but if it does, I need to remove it.

No problem!

I'll see if I can add the background support back to nautilus. I'm surprised the GNOME 3 PPA maintainers didn't do that already.

chenxiaolong · 2013-04-23 21:31:39

Sorry to everyone for the slow repo rebuild. Quite a few of the packages had missing dependencies causing the build to fail. All that's left now is gnome-control-center-ubuntu and libindicate. Hopefully those will build fine

mieLouk · 2013-04-23 21:32:42

Apparently I updated in the worst moment, earlier.

Now, I waited till your Repo had been finished. The update didn't really help to rescue my system. When I start up and login, I see the desktop for a splitsecond, then just a blinding whitescreen. Resetting compiz didn't help.

Any suggestions on how to save the installation? Is it save to update the other machine?

@chenxiaolong,

Maybe you will found this useful to make the background work again. I
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1159430

I don't understand why nautilus is dropping a lot of features.

Could you post your ~/.xsession-errors file (while you're logged into the whitescreen)? I don't recommend updating your other computer until the first one works

Thanks for the link! I think I'll just revert the change instead of using the Compiz wallpaper plugin mentioned in the bug report.

The GNOME developers are basically dropping all features unrelated to gnome-shell. Now that gnome-shell can draw its own wallpaper, they removed the functionality from nautilus and gnome-settings-daemon

EDIT: Nope, I'm going to have to use workarounds. I don't want to package gnome-desktop-ubuntu and a whole bunch of other packages just to get the desktop background back.

The issue should be fixed now. Can you try again?

chenxiaolong · 2013-04-24 00:10:45

I'm building a LiveCD right now with all this new stuff so I can see what's working and what's not. I'd appreciate it if anyone wants to help test

Build process: http://cxl.epac.to:8091/job/UFALCD-2.0- … /5/console
ISO: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/projec … x86_64.iso

By the way, does anyone (except me) have Unity working with GNOME 3.8 right now?

@chenxiaolong

trying giveme 10 minutes for report if all works

Ok report:

Lightdm-ubuntu freezed at start only show The wallpaper with TVE archlinux and in the center a ubuntu logo, so i install gdm with gdm you can login and unity start but for my side no mouse and looks like it bits frezeed

I going to make some things for try to start it wait forma report2

REPORT 2:

ok i writing this from unity, the problems and workaround are:

1. lightdm-ubuntu freeze at the start only show the wallpaper with the archlinux text in the left and in the middle center the ubuntu logo but not response so for start the session you need to install lightdm from official repo, or gdm.
2. now you can start the unity session the ui start but no mouse and not response (only keyboard response) but the system its like freeze (i sure this problem its get from gnome 3.8 because for my happen the same with official gnome 3.8)
3. for get the unity session works you need to do: start other console (alt+f1,2,3,4 etc) delete or rename the ,config .local .cache .compiz folders mv .config config2 mv .local local2 mv .cache cache2 mv .compiz compiz2
reboot, sudo reboot
4. after the system reboot, before to start unity session again, first start gnome session, when gnome start also you get a freeze system, only wallpaper not mouse or ui, SO press f1 and WUALA the ui start and you get mouse etc, so logout and start unity session and wuala unity works!!

REPORT 3:

for the problem of the wallpaper, use the compiz plugin wallpaper and wuala you have wallpaper

REPORT 4:

keyboard media keys not work

There must be something wrong here. LightDM does not depend on anything GNOME 3.6 or 3.8 specific. It should work perfectly without recompiling. The only thing I can think of that would break LightDM is not fully updating/compiling the new packages.

This definitely sounds like not everything was updated. Is gnome-settings-daemon started when you log in?

ps aux | grep gnome-settings-daemon

Could you post your ~/.xsession-errors file also?

Good to know, thanks! For the record, disabling the nautilus desktop in gnome-tweak-tool also works, but you'll lose the desktop.

I don't understand why nautilus is dropping a lot of features.

That's why I'm using nemo, a nautilus fork by linux mint, for quite a while now.
You'd need to use the nemo-git from aur though, as the version of nemo in [community] does not work well with gnome 3.8, yet.

Yes, me.
I haven't stumbled over anything not working, which is not known already, yet, but, like always, I'll tell you as soon as I notice something.

Hmm...I don't see anything wrong in there. Does Unity work fine other than needing workarounds?

I should be able to "fix" the media keys issue tomorrow

Nautilus-ubuntu has background support again!

Commit: https://github.com/chenxiaolong/Unity-f … 1a36c984e5
Screenshots: http://i.imgur.com/x3mXpI1.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/AyI2tMi.png

As of now, Unity with GNOME 3.8 should be almost perfect. The currently known issues are:

* No Unity-specific appearance settings in GNOME control center
* No Unity-specific sound settings in GNOME control center
* Right-click desktop > Change desktop background will cause GNOME control center to glitch
* Media keys aren't working (should be an easy fix)
* Doubled menus in GNOME terminal
* No overlay scrollbar in GNOME terminal & GNOME control center

Nemo is currently based on Nautilus 3.6. I wonder if they're going to merge changes from gnome-shell and nautilus 3.8 or if they're going to diverge even more. If they start drawing the desktop background with Cinnamon, then we'll end up in the same situation.

Btw, I just reverted the commits that removed background support in nautilus-ubuntu. If you prefer nautilus, that should be usable now.
