    Re: Trusty GNOME Classic & Flashback sessions

    Something I found interesting while corresponding with a dev concerning changes to GNOME 3.10 that effected keyboard shortcuts and a disappearing mouse pointer:

    I suspect they will be broken either way, we pass off key grabs to gnome-shell when XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME, this is one of the reasons flashback is switching to use Unity profile
    So hold on tight

    That was a bad representation of what was said, this is more correct:

    Mouse pointer missing is due to display-config-daemon not running, however I think that should be fixed for flashback now (with trusty2 version)
    if now try the following two command
    XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity /usr/lib/displayconfig/display-config-daemon -r --debug
    and in a second terminal
    gnome-settings-daemon -r --debug

    I suspect they will be broken either way, we pass off key grabs to gnome-shell when XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME, this is one of the reasons flashback is switching to use Unity profile
    So, as soon as I catch a few winks, I need to do some more testing

    Re: Trusty GNOME Classic & Flashback sessions

    hello, I am also interested in flashback gnome panel.

    As I also want to use the latest gnome color daemon and wacom panel features, I wanted to ask if it is possible to do that with flashback.

    So: Newest wacom panel settings (3.10+) is now dependent on a plugin in gnome-settings manager AND one in gnome-settings-daemeon; I read elsewere that flashback does have to use it's own settings-daemon, which would render that functionality unuseable - is that true? Can this functionality be backported to 3.8, as 3.10 seems to get skipped in flashback?

    Colord also acts as a plugin of gnome-settings-daemon, so same issue here... I would really like to have full support for these tools - How difficult could it be to port these new versions of the plugins over?

    Also, could it be made possible to add and option to display the system menu again as in gnome2? So that we have applications / places /system . Right now, I use classic-panel , a fallback fork of stefan glasenhardt, in 12.04, which provides this.

    That's way over my head

    Maybe Alberts has an idea

    My personal concern is just making sure "flashback w/metacity" is working well enough for Edubuntu.

    Re: Trusty GNOME Classic & Flashback sessions

    The only thing I think that is necessary is that flashback works with the default gnome-settings-daemon of the targeted gnome release. I hope its realistic to assume that this is possible. Backporting the plugins is a whole other issue.

    I read up about g-s-d and fallback and found that support for fallback was removed from g-s-d recently, but as flashback is at least partly gnome-coupled project now, I thought things could have already changed and someone knows more about this issue...

    It's certainly a bit different installing 'gnome-panel' in Ubuntu GNOME Trusty now:

    Re: Trusty GNOME Classic & Flashback sessions

    ok..You have not installed with --no-install-recommends - much less dependencies then


    sudo apt-get install gnome-panel gnome-applets gnome-session-flashback --no-install-recommends

    gir1.2-gconf-2.0 gir1.2-panelapplet-4.0 gnome-applets gnome-applets-data gnome-panel gnome-panel-data gnome-session-flashback libmetacity-private0a libpanel-applet-4-0 metacity metacity-common
    I took a look and it looks like right now there is the default g-s-d (which is 3.8 right now - shouldn't be there a version bump to 3.10 in final? I guess not because of feature freeze time) in as dependency in which is good.
    gnome control-center is still 3.6?!? and I know canonical is doing a quick fork just for LTS..


    have to try around if that works out as expected, but I hope so.
    only thing which bothers me is dependency on nautilus 3.8+, which is a bit harsh, 3.4 minimum and nemo (so nautilus (>=3.4) | nemo) would be a wiser choice nowadays, because not everyone likes crippled filebrowsers

    I performed some testing with these additional packages:

    https://launchpad.net/~darkxst/+arch...series_filter=

    But there were bumps in the road

    You can read starting here:

    https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntugn.../msg00320.html

    A few things got ugly though, like an invisible mouse pointer and broken keyboard shortcuts.

    I'm not sure where Tim is on getting those last changes into Trusty ATM. He had indicated that he'd need to request an exception at this point in development.

    Things are a bit on the ugly side ATM though.

    I'm Erick there

    If I were to guess I'd say they're waiting for the last shoe to drop in this transition from g-s-d to u-s-d, but that's only a guess!
