Re: Really smooth gnome update

Except for GDM. I am still trying to find out why it can never keep a session running. :-/

Otherwise, this update is a smooth transition. Actually I hardly notice much differences to the old version.

gnome-globalmenu doesn't work for me anymore, other than that, seems fine.

Re: Really smooth gnome update

Hi Developer, tnx!

gnome-panel-bonobo is already installed.

I reverted the upgrade:
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gnome-applets-2.30.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
(Downgrade from 2.32.0)

Now the Charpicker is back.

Re: Really smooth gnome update

@goetzkluge i would say is a bug in that applet. can you tell me which package owns that so i can take a look?

downgrading is never a solution

Re: Really smooth gnome update

@Developer,

tnx again.

The affected package is gnome-applets-2.32.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz

"iid=OAFIID:GNOME_CharpickerApplet" cannot be loaded by the launcher.

Re: Really smooth gnome update

the charpicker applet no longer uses bonobo and i think that xfce can't handle gnome-panel-3 dbus-based applets.

you should report this upstream to xfce guys

Re: Really smooth gnome update

I also have a problem with gnome-globalmenu. if i install gnome-panel bonobo and then enable gnome-globalmenu the gnome-panel can't start.. but i guess it's a problem with gnome-globalmenu. The rest works totally awesome

Re: Really smooth gnome update

I'm getting a huge number of DEBUG messages when I log out of Gnome and back into the console.  These messages weren't coming at me like this before the upgrade.  All of them relate to things such as GsmStore, GsmManager, GsmClient, and GsmXSMPClient.

Anyone else?

Otherwise, all went well.

Re: Really smooth gnome update

I Updated three Arch Systems.  First and second System running fine but the third has two NVIDIA Quadro NVS290.
On the second X Screen some applets doesn't run e.g. the clock applet. It appear on the first X Screen as program window and is useless.

Installing gnome-panel-bonobo, then rebuilding the package fixed this issue for me.

The only difference I've noticed is the new rhythmbox icon...

And I actually don't even like it. The old one looked far much better and showed a different state as well when a track was being played.

Re: Really smooth gnome update

I find that graphics are slow now, though I'm not completely sure it was yesterday's huge update that did it.  For example, open a shell, then drag it around the screen quickly...used to be very fast, not much work for the cpu, and looked good.  Now it leaves a trail, the cpu is noticeably taxed, and in general it seems jerky.  (I have an nvidia quadro 140M pci video card.)

Also, shell update sounds have failed (again).  i.e., a new email message arrives in a shell running pine...no beep when there used to be a beep.  I want the beep back.

Should I not have upgraded something?

Re: Really smooth gnome update

Reading other threads regarding slowness with nvidia installing nvidia-beta from the AUR seems to be a common solution.

Thank you very much, that worked. I tried rebuilding it after upgrading gnome, but it wouldn't build. gnome-panel-bonobo solved that!

Wait! Now when I try to paste in Nautilus a file in a directory containing a file with the same name a window pops up showing the comparison between sizes and creation date. I needed such a feature so much!
