GNOME Classic & Flashback sessions

In order that others can follow what I'm doing I'll start posting a lot of "thinking out loud" stuff here. In this case I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Trusty final Beta and I want to record what happens when I install 'gnome-panel':

Code:

Stay tuned

Edit #1: First flashback w/metacity login looks good:

Attachment 251562

Edit #2: Flashback w/compiz is broken in many ways, but my focus is on the metacity session anyway. Someone else will have to deal with the complexities of compiz. Sorry but that's just the way it is

Edit #3: I know I'm going to want some additional packages and I'm going to list them one by one:

I'll probably want to install more but lets see what happens.

Edit #4: Moving the window management buttons to the right has not changed since my OP:

Code:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout :minimize,maximize,close

Edit #5: Applying the Shiki-Colors-Metacity theme is the same as Saucy:

Code:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme Shiki-Colors-Metacity

Edit #6: Disabling the overlay-scrollbars seems to still work the same:

Code:

gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal

But I need to rinse-n-repeat because I think an additional option has been added?

Edit #7: I disabled the webapps:

Code:

gsettings set com.canonical.unity.webapps integration-allowed false

Edit #8: I used 'gnome-tweak-tool' to set the desktop to display mounted volumes:

Attachment 251605

And to set the key sequence for killing X:

Attachment 251606

It can also be used for changing themes:

Attachment 251607

But I had to use the CLI to restore the missing menu icons:

Code:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface menus-have-icons true

Code:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface buttons-have-icons true

Hi KansasKoob isn't all that software comes with the install of Gnome-session metacity desktop out of the box?

The package 'gnome-session' does not include the 'flashback' sessions.

Installing the package 'gnome-session-flashback' does exactly the same thing as installing the package 'gnome-panel'.

Those additional packages are not direct dependencies or even recommends so they require separate installation if they're desired.

Workaround to this is to open menu editor from terminal:

Code:

alacarte gnome-flashback-applications.menu

That way you will see correct menu, but there is probably other bug too. I was able to hide/show whole group (for example Accessories), but I was not able to hide applications.

Hi Alberts. Things have been hectic here but I finally had a chance to give this some serious play-time and opening either of the existing Main Menu listings after using that command I can then select Properties and change the Command from "alacarte" to "alacarte gnome-flashback-applications.menu" and I can then edit all of the menus just as I wish

I do have two stupid questions though:

(1) What's the proper path to "gnome-flashback-applications.menu"?

(2) What file would I back-up to restore my custom config? Or how would I restore the default if I totally broke things?

**muktupavels** · April 8th, 2014

1. /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-flashback-applications.menu
2. Your edited files might be stored in ~/.local/share. To restore to default you need just delete your custom config. I am currently writing from mac so I can not check where exactly files are stored.

Many, many thanks

Restoring most defaults used to be this easy:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...0#post11968600

But the changes between Precise and Trusty are fairly extreme

I certainly wish that GNOME dev would have chosen to use 'gnome-panel' + 'mutter' to produce their new Classic session instead of choosing the path they did

**kansasnoob** · April 10th, 2014

I went ahead and filed a bug report using a fresh Edubuntu install:

Can't edit drop down applications menus in Edubuntu Trusty flashback session

Please confirm if it effects you too

**kansasnoob** · April 10th, 2014

Caffeine is now working but may cause the panel to load a bit more slowly.

org.gnome.desktop.interface ubuntu-overlay-scrollbars?

Found that with dconf-editor.

Is that from an Ubuntu GNOME installation, or Ubuntu?

I'm getting ready to wipe some old installs to prepare for the final round of Trusty testing so I'm going to post some stuff here that doesn't even make total sense to me.

This is from an Ubuntu GNOME install w/o flashback installed running the new GNOME Classic:

Code:

lance@lance-desktop:~$ ls /etc/xdg/menus
gnome-applications.menu  gnomecc.menu  gnome-flashback-applications.menu

Now the content of each with NO edits:
