I forgot. Every gtk2 app I run segfaults within GNOME 3 (they are OK for example when I run them in KDE)

I am having problems with the authentication system (i.e. for setting time, date etc.) it gives me authentication failed without asking for password.

When it comes to keyboard shortcuts, is there some guide somewhere?

I also heard about empathy integration, how does one enable this?

z0id · 2011-03-01 11:08:18

The option to disable the Shell is hidden in System Settings -> System Info -> Graphics -> Force fallback mode

@flamelab works for me. It might be because of the order on which packages were updated? we removed all versioned dependencies and it might happen that gdk-pixbuf2 wasn't been update in time and the modules caching is pointing to the wrong version. I don't know...

the shortcuts are in System Settings(available after you click on name from the top-right corner, Keyboard then Shortcuts tab\

correction, telepathy integration. just fire up empathy and then ask somebody to message you.

Found it, but it does not seem to respect my choices... Choosen i.e. <alt-tab> for switching windows, exiting and then pressing <alt-tab>. Does not work...
Going back to the settings switching windows is marked as "deactivated". (Translated from norwegian)
Edit: Any way to go back to "default settings" for shortcuts?

As far as empathy integration goes it is quite neat! But it does not switch status when I do from the top-right corner...

Thank you for making an effort for this

When I try to login with gnome-shell it immediately logs me out again. Also when I try to start gnome-shell within another WM it logs me out and I can't use GNOME Fallback with gnome-shell installed.

I don't know either. I reinstalled gdk-pixbuf2 and rebuilt it from ABS, still the same problem.

Will you add packages like gnome-shell to the gnome group or they'll be independent ?

wonder · 2011-03-01 17:39:38

@flamelab its on todo.

Gnome 3 desktop won't start for me. For gdm, after logging in, there is only a cursor shining at the corner. For kdm, after the logging in, the system is stuck with the login background picture.

All I did is use the gnome-unstable repository, upgrade the system, pacman -S gnome-shell (and let pacman install all dependences automatically, previously the machine does not have gnome 2 installed), and start gnome session using gdm or kdm. Is it the right way to try it out? Thanks!

Did you give a pacman -Syu after adding the gnome-unstable repository? I think there are some packages there that you might have had installed even with no gnome (glib2 comes to my mind) that need to be updated.

Yes, forgot to mention, I did pacman -Syu and it indeed updated several packages.

@tririver try installing dbus-python.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had dbus-python already installed. I will try to reinstall that and upgrade the system to [testing] to see what happens.

wonder · 2011-03-02 13:56:58

like a side note, check ~/.xsession-errors. maybe is something in there

tririver · 2011-03-02 14:16:42

Yes, I indeed had an error here:

GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.browser' is not installed. aborting...

This is the only message I get from .xsession-errors when the problem happens

hungerfish also mentioned this in this thread. I am not sure we are having the same problem

Now I have found one mistake: I have naively only installed gnome-shell and its dependence. I found I should really use pacman -S gnome gnome-shell, otherwise there are a lot of important packages not installed.

After that, seems there is an improvement. But I still stuck at somewhere (now there is gnome3 desktop background, at least), and the .xsession-errors report again and again the following error:

gnome-settings-daemon connection failed, reconnecting

Is it because there is still components missing? Especially what is the right pacman command I should use to install gnome-unstable? Thanks!

Giselher · 2011-03-02 17:24:21

I checked my .xsession-errors file and I have the exact same message.

tririver · 2011-03-02 17:41:28

Now I finally got gnome 3 work on my laptop. All I did is installed a number of packages which I think relevant from [gnome-unstable] and [extra]. Among which libgnome-data maybe the important one, which was not automatically installed previously.

Here are some problems I met, in case you are interested for debugging purpose:

(1) On my first login, keyboard stop responding after 5 minutes or so. After log out (in gdm keyboard works fine) and login again, the problem is gone.

(2) For a period of time, the fonts becomes funny (some letters are presented by black boxes) but they behave normal again after sometime. I didn't do anything to fix that.

(3) There are a number of errors in .xsession-errors, although nothing is seriously wrong now. Especially, the two "connection failed" message appears again and again:

GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.browser' is not installed

** (gnome-settings-daemon:7759): WARNING **: Connection failed, reconnecting...

I've just noticed that nautilus only works with double-click, although single-click is selected. Trying to change to double-click mode closes the nautilus window...

tririver · 2011-03-03 13:49:53

Just another question: The audio mixer applet doesn't work for me. All the sound settings are grey and not adjustable. I can only use alsamixer in command line to adjust speaker and mic volumes. Is it because a lack of any packages?

There are gnome-alsamixer and pulseaudio-mixer-applet in extra. But they seem to work only with gnome 2.
