I have a very naive rule: When the scroll bar of the application looks new, it is using GTK3; when it looks as in gnome 2.xx, it is using GTK2

Update: After upgrading some other packages to 3.0.0 later today, the problem is gone. Thus please ignore the following ~

Just to report: gnome-settings-daemon 3.0.0-1 brings funny random errors for me. Typically I cannot login. Sometimes the computer stuck with no gnome-shell started; Sometimes, there is a window saying there is something wrong and I need to re-login; Sometimes (I am using dual display) on one screen gnome-shell is started successfully and on the other screen it is saying something went wrong and I need to re-login

Downgrading to 2.91.93 solves the problem.

Got a crash in gnome-control-center when choosing keyboard :

[fred@fredo-arch ~]$ gnome-control-center &
[1] 15428
[fred@fredo-arch ~]$ 
GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.keyboard' does not contain a key named 'rate'
aborting...

[fred@fredo-arch ~]$ pacman -Si gnome-control-center | grep Version
Version               : 2.91.93-1

Waiting for gnome-control-center 3.0 ?

those who got metacity 2.32 as an update, please downgrade back to extra version

jolinfire · 2011-04-04 18:48:36

@wonder : for numlock keyboard bug (not activated on start) : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646738

Waiting for new 3.0 packages now

wonder · 2011-04-04 19:14:06

@jolinfire really, not report bugs like that missing schema member until you don't get all packages up to date

This is not what I meant but Cheers, I am actually wondering why on clean system while installing Gnome from gnome-unstable I am getting Gtk2 installed as well. What packages need it now?

wonder · 2011-04-04 19:52:16

@Mazur firstly the theme. upstream makes it dependable on gtk-engines. then is metacity that is used in fallback mode

Mazur · 2011-04-04 20:02:16

Thank You wonder, so in theory getting rid of metacity later would make my system Gtk2 free, right? Is there a plan to change metacity to Gtk3 or anything like this? Duh sometimes I think that this is going to be huge mess in Linux with releasing Gnome 3, Gtk3 whereas nobody will want to move to the new version because of Canonical who moved to Unity and all apps there will be Gtk2/Qt anyway. Jeeeez.

wonder · 2011-04-04 20:06:21

you can have a free metacity system if you want but gnome-themes-standards depends on gtk-engines->gtk2. i don't really see how could you live with a gtk2 system free since all applications that are not in gnome desktop uses it.

for example epiphany is gtk3/ and because of that, it can't use flashplugin or gnash so you are out of luck, firefox and all the other webkit browser uses gtk2

This thread is running looooong now so I may have missed if someone posted this before.

I seem to have something weird going on with gnome-terminal (running 64-bit). It always launches as a very small window just showing something like 5 rows. If I resize it manually and then open a new tab or switch among tabs, it resizes back to 5 rows again.

#gnome-shell IRC channel suggests that I update GTK. Has anyone else seen this problem?

@korpenkraxar, I had this problem sometime ago. After recent updates (perhaps GTK 3.0.8) this problem is gone. Someone else has similar experience, from the discussion above in this thread.

jemlynch · 2011-04-05 03:11:00

Wonder - I've been updating religiously and just wanted to congratulate you on an excellent job mate.

Keep up the good work

For this, I'm waiting on gnome-control-center 3.0

And now gnome-settings daemon is eating 90% to 99% of my CPU every little second

cf this screenshot : http://www.flickr.com/photos/fredbezies/5590785897/

gdm guilty here ?!

edit : the guilty is the mix of gnome-control-center 2.91.93 + gdm 3.0 + gnome-settings-daemon-3.0

A reboot fixed this "bug"

I think this tuesday won't be good at all for me

Hi,
Gnome3 with gnome-shell was running quite good on my system but unfortunately till the last update. Now, when I start in gnome-shell it loads successful but I am not able to click anywhere or open anything. So, it doesn't react. My only chance is to hit Ctrl-Alt-Bksp and uninstall gnome-shell to use Gnome3 in the fallback mode.
Which log files or information should I provide you guys, so you can take a look over it in order to help me to continue enjoying gnome-shell?
Thanks.

Just updated and I am still not able to open any of the menus in gnome-shell. Any suggestions?

zenlord · 2011-04-05 07:25:50

Yesterday evening I decided to try 'suspend' (which I have never used, nor configured), and to my surprise the laptop suspended swiftly. Coming back out of suspend-mode was another thing: a whole lot of icons were crammed together in the upper left corner, there was no wallpaper and nothing except for the top-bar was clickable. Logging out and in again solved this.

I updated this morning and it seems we are getting near 3.0. Thanks for your hard work, Wonder!

PhuniX · 2011-04-05 07:36:24

For me, all work good.

Only Nautilus crash 5s after open it. Anyone have this problem ?

A_ch · 2011-04-05 10:29:25

Maybe I should mention that its more like a freeze of gnome-shell than not just be able to open a menu. I can just hit Ctrl-Alt-Bksp.

kane77 · 2011-04-05 10:50:59

I upgraded today to 3.0.0 and when I restarted gnome it runs startup apps, but the top panel does not show up (the gnome shell is not started I guess)..

I looked into .xsession-errors and there's couple of lines:
(mutter:23514): Cogl-glx-WARNING **: ./cogl-framebuffer.c:912: Failed to create an OpenGL framebuffer

I'm using nvidia drivers 270.30-3 from extra..

Any ideas?

Looks like poor gnome-panel-bonobo has been forgotten, it has been complaining for weeks about missing "gnome-panel=2.32.1".

flamelab · 2011-04-05 11:51:15

I remember bonobo being deprecated and not used in GNOME 3...

if you look at gnome 3 wiki it says to remove gnome-panel-bonobo with pacman -Rncs gnome-panel-bonobo

there are still modules in gnome-extra which will pull gnome-panel-bonobo but those will be either dropped or recompiled without applet support

Just upgraded to testing & gnome-unstable again. No problem to report with Nautilus. The only bug I encountered is the control center crashing when clicking on «keyboard» : GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.keyboard' does not contain a key named 'rate'

Probably an update missing ?

Anyway, thanks for the very good job, both Gnome Team and packagers here

wonder · 2011-04-05 13:12:08

i forgot to update gnome-control-center
