[solved] Gnome 3.14.2 Modal dialogs not working

justforgetme · 2015-01-09 11:49:34

Hi,

updated today and found out that the modal password prompts in Gnome 3 do not work anymore. Does anybody know anything about this?

I´m experiencing following behaviour:
Whenever a gnome modal dialog with an input field appears the dialog will freeze after submitting the data. The only action left to click is the cancel action (or the escape key) which of course also cancels the data submission and also cancels the data submission the process.

I would love to debug this, unfortunately Google hasn´t provided anything useful yet...

Well if you don't know on error messages then google won't provide much useful. Look in the journal (gdm dumps it configs there), or try to launch polkit dialogs (pkexec <stuff>) from a terminal.

Ok, so apparently the Modal dialog not working was based on gdk-pixbuf2 dhaving wrong caches or something.

When consulting journalctl about gnome in general I discovered that my system had lost the ability to comprehend the svg format. One ddg query later i was here again just in another topic viewtopic.php?pid=1491839
