View Full Version : [gnome] GNOME3 Staging PPA

In addition to the GNOME3 PPA and Rico's PPAs, we have a new experimental PPA (https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3-staging/) for raring which we are using to upload GNOME 3.7:
ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-stagingAs Ubuntu's efforts are focused on GNOME 3.6, this PPA doesn't have the same level of quality and testing that goes into the regular GNOME3 PPA. GNOME 3.7 itself is still a work in progress.

I just uploaded gnome-control-center/gnome-settings-daemon 3.7.3 to the PPA. The most obvious regression it introduces is that external panels aren't working (they've never been officially supported by GNOME).

I've also uploaded gnome-shell 3.7.3. When I tested it I saw two major bugs: the user menu in the top right is missing, and using the keyboard to enter text in Shell dialogs (like Alt+F2, authentication prompts, unlocking the screen or the Activities Overview) doesn't work reliably. I reported both those bugs to GNOME but we've not figured out what the root cause is yet.

Unless you like broken things, you probably don't want this PPA yet. At least make sure you know how to use ppa-purge first.

On the other hand, it would help us and the GNOME developers out if you would give the PPA a try so that we can find and fix bugs before 3.8 is final. If you're interested in packaging, this is a great opportunity to get involved to help package the GNOME milestone releases.

Where do bug reports get filed? (or tagged?

As I stated here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12346815&postcount=48), I would like to help out testing. :)

What would be the easiest way to get a RR-UGR installed ?

Install the daily build of the Ubuntu-Server 13.04 (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily/current/) and then install the “ubuntu-gnome-meta” package (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-gnome-meta) ?

Or do you recommend something else until the bug in the build script (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12415841&postcount=5) is sorted out ?

BTW, the Gnome3 ppa doesn't seem to have any packages for Raring at all ?

Interesting!

GS is working perfectly for me, but Unity is a total mess.

The iconset, theme, fonts, et cetera (in Unity) are all back to default(s), even though various utilities are indicating that they are using my custom settings.

I reset Unity/Compiz, and it didn't do a thing, except change the icon size to the default size (48, I think).

I tried changing the wallpaper, several times, but all I'm seeing is a solid black background.

Heh! This is great! :D

From another thread... ;)


[...] I was reading a link to a blog the other day where a theme designer was complaining that every time he modified his theme to work with Gnome 3 the next development of Gnome 3 broke the theme.

I'll go change themes, in Unity, and see if that helps.

Then, again, that's probably why my user menu is working in GS...

Well, 3 hours (in Unity) later, I'm still scratching my head.

Compiz works fine. I got bored and managed to setup a "rotating cube" without crashing the desktop, which, in itself, is rather odd.

dconf/gconf, gnome-tweak, ubuntu-tweak, et cetera reported nothing has changed in my custom settings, but Unity doesn't recognize any of them. Nor, does changing any of these settings make any difference on the desktop.

GS is working fine, so, I'll use it tonight, and tackle Unity tomorrow, after all of the Christmas festivities.

Well you'd have a new gtk (3.7.x), so that's bound to affect the light-themes/menus, ect. & possibly some indicators. Also the new g-c-c could be troublesome in an ubuntu session.

Ok, gnome-shell should be working again. I had to disable a lightdm integration patch until we figure out how to get it working correctly without breaking the user menu. I haven't experienced the "unable to enter text with the keyboard" bug in gnome-shell dialogs in a couple days.

I can confirm the Unity theming bug. The PPA *does* break some Unity design and integration so I don't think we'll push the troublesome packages to the GNOME3 PPA until those problems are fixed.

As far as menus, ect. IIRC from about a month or so ago if you were to switch to a gtk 3.7+ supported theme then for the most part a ubuntu session would be ok
Likely a very short list of such themes, then the only one I saw was the spartan adwaita

The Gnome3 Staging PPA works fine here too (with adwaita theming).
Also the old gnome-panel 3.6.2 is working (but not the session gnome classic no effects).
I am using nvidia-current (313.09) from xorg-edgers PPA.

I am trying to be a will participant but, I am not into adding extra PPA's that you already know are going to break.
But, I have had Raring running fairly flawlessly not using unity but, classic gnome.
Have Compiz, Emerald, CCSM, the cube and Cairo Dock all working great. The cube rotates in 3D and I managed to put colors on the top and bottom.
I had to use Application Switcher in CCSM to get ALT+TAB to work in gnome.
I got VinDSL's conky installed and updated to match my system (and added 13.04 to my signature). :D

Just going with the updates that come down the pipe. I had a hard time getting the thing to install as it was trying to use my USB drive
and would only install when I turned it off. But, I haven't hardly been able to get it to break for the last week or so. I get an error occasionally but, it doesn't force a reboot or anything.

Am I doing it wrong? :confused:

OK, I have two fresh mini.iso installs of Ubuntu-GNOME-Remix running and I want to see what's cooking with the new Gnome classic session (yes I know it's still in the works) so I think I'll keep one install pretty much pure Raring but I'd like to use this PPA with the other.

But I have a dumb question :redface:

Do you recommend using this PPA all by it's lonesome, or in combination with the standard Gnome3 PPA?

EDIT: I should have looked first. I see there are no Raring packages in the standard Gnome3 PPA yet.

kansasnoob
December 27th, 2012, 02:54 AM
OK, now we're cooking!

The most notable sort of borkage is that gdm takes ages to "populate" (by that I mean to display session options or anything) if I have auto-login set to "off". If auto-login is set to "on" it's not noticeable. But just forcing a downgrade of gdm alone doesn't fix it.

I see no changes to the fallback/classic sessions on this fresh mini.iso install of Ubuntu-GNOME-Remix and 'gnome-panel' is still installable after installing the PPA. And after doing so you can still boot into "classic (no effects)" so I assume that is still a work-in-progress which isn't surprising :)

I'd almost bet the new classic session either gets a new package name or maybe it'll be added to the shell-extensions package in the repos :confused:

Pretty hard to try and second guess things at this point.

GNOME 3.7.3 just got released earlier today, and includes some great new work. I won't be posting screenshots, because some of the UIs aren't final, and we'll be iterating until 3.8 is released (and it's my birthday).

Cleaning up

We've cleaned up gnome-settings-daemon plug-ins, and gnome-control-center panels, as well as removing the support code for GNOME Fallback, saving us around 10k lines of code.

gnome-control-center (now "Settings" in the UI) is faster to start, and gnome-settings-daemon require less code to write additional plug-ins.[...]





Before Thanksgiving I’ve caused some uproar and made people doubt our incurable stubbornness by first announcing the release team decision to drop fallback mode, and then that we’re going to be looking at supported extensions as a replacement. Some have been calling this ‘classic’ mode – I’m using the term ‘legacy’ here, since ‘classic’ may raise some false expectations.

Two weeks have passed since that initial announcement, so I thought it would be a good idea to give an update on what we have achieved so far.

GNOME Legacy

We’ve decided to use the gnome-shell-extensions repository as the place where we collect the extensions that will be part of this effort. If you configure with –enable-extensions=classic-mode, we will install a small set of extensions.[...]

Modern GNOME

Does all this attention on legacy mean that we no longer believe in GNOME 3 ? Of course not ! There’s plenty of great new stuff coming to GNOME 3.8.

Great info :guitar:

I have some hope for the new "classic-mode" because I've been cross-testing Cinnamon (both in Snowlinux and Mint), and pure Gnome3/gnome-shell in Ubuntu-GNOME-Remix. Gnome's Mutter WM far outperforms the Cinnamon fork - Muffin!

I think Mint has recognized that because Clem is talking about an Openbox version of Cinnamon:

https://github.com/linuxmint/Roadmap


Rethink Cinnamon 2D, fallback to a non-shadow CPU-less intensive session in software rendering mode and/or Muffin/OpenBox (whatever happens, the user should know he's not running the "real" Cinnamon, he should be told why, and he should find himself with a working WM (even a minimalistic one like OpenBox)).


But right now it's "wait and see" time :D

EDIT: This is also a good read:

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTIzMzE


Untz recognizes that this may cause some fallout in GNOME 3.8 so he recommends those potentially negatively affected to stick with GNOME 3.6 for the time being. "There might be cases where these improvements will not be good enough in 3.8 (or with the Mesa and llvmpipe versions available at that time), resulting in a GNOME version that people might not consider acceptable in terms of performance or hardware support. Things will improve with time, obviously, and 3.10 will solve more and more issues; hence I would recommend to people hitting such issues to stay with 3.6 for a few more months."

I guess if it aint broke, break it! :tongue: The PPA page says:

This PPA will be used to test uploads before they are copied to the main GNOME 3 PPA.
If they break your system, you get to keep both halves.

Unless you like broken things, you probably don't want this PPA yet. At least make sure you know how to use ppa-purge first.

Personally, I log into Unity and endure it, as long as I can.

Then, I switch to GS, for the rest of the session. ;)

It's just a test installation any way so I figured why not.

Oh and I do know how to use ppa purge.

I got it and rebooted and now the theme is all white and almost impossible to view.
I installed gnome-tweak-tool and tried to get it black like you pictures you posted but, could not quite get there from here.
The top and bottom panels are pretty much white with white text.

I've been toying with GS, since it became available.

Over time, I've used various PPAs. Some PPAs were/are more stable than others.

Most recently, I've been using ricotz/testing:


https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/testing


You might want to upgrade your system with these packages (e.g. fill some of the holes) then disable it, when you're done.

Basically, my setup is a standard GS install, upgraded with packages from ricotz/testing, and gnome3-team/gnome3-staging.

To be clear, the only unsupported packages that I'm currently checking/upgrading are from gnome3-team/gnome3-staging. ;)

I tried adding the ricotz/testing PPA and everything seemed to go well but upon rebooting, nothing would open: tweak tool, firefox, etc.

So I installed ppa-purge and tried to purge both PPAs but, that didn't work:


cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$ sudo ppa-purge ppa:ricotz/testing
Updating packages lists
PPA to be removed: ricotz testing

I think I broke it. :-s Time to reinstall I guess. I'll download a newer iso.
It was probably time any way. Nothing was breaking at all. ;)

w00t! I figured out why Unity was looking janky, e.g. solid black background on the desktop and switcher!

Actually, I discovered the 'problem' while playing around in LXDE.

I wanted to see what would happen if I didn't allow PCMANFM to control the desktop, and guess what? It looked just like Unity. LoL! :D

Long-story-short, I allowed Nautilus to control the desktop in GS -- logged into Unity -- and Bingo!

Looks like grunt, with the defaults being "stickified", and all, but at least it's a start... ;)

It works nicely both from gdm and lightdm... I even seem to like it more with lightdm...
It works also nicely from .Xsession (startx) but I'm having problem finding way to start fallback from .Xsession... I'll have to investigate syntax for that today if time permits...
Many things are waiting to be discovered in this new GS...

The most amazing thing to me is the performance as compared to Mint's Muffin fork of Mutter and Ubuntu's Compiz ............. I'm at least guessing it's 90% a window manager thing. Time will tell :)

I feel that it is faster with lightdm than with gdm but I was playing with fallback so... Yesterday I've spent whole day in vanilla GS&gdm... Like it...

Well, I pretty much have it back like it was. The newer ISO gave some better apps than the one I initially used.
I forgot how much stuff you have to add to a fresh install to get it like you want it: Nvidia drivers, Compiz, CCSM,
Cairo Dock, lm-sensors (and sudo sensors-detect), conky-all, conkywx, Emerald, getting the date to display, add fonts, gnome-session-fallback,
the startup sound, and I am sure I left a few out.

Edit: Plus disabling firefox-globalmenu in Firefox, adding the desired add-ons and disabling the global menu bar (remove appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-qt). Plus installing flash and java.

At least this is the way I like my setup to be.

I think I'll give it a couple of days and add the PPA and hopefully not break it this time. ;)

I tried to load the PPA again with almost the same results. I also added the ricotz/testing PPA.

But, this time I managed to ppa-purge those and recover just like they were never added :)

With the only exception I see so far is that my Firefox settings including NoScript settings were annihilated.

It may be that I have to give it some time because at first nothing would open when clicked on.
Then slowly some things would open even firefox. Since I now know how to get out of it with a purge I will try it again and give it some time.

Did any one else require some time for thing to "kick in"?

The only problem I've noticed is that it takes several minutes for the GDM scrren to accept any input and respond. It's OK if you just use "auto-login" and never need to log out to change sessions or such.

I've thought about trying lightdm but I haven't been annoyed enough yet :D

OK, that must have been what I experienced. I'll try again and give it time.

I somewhere "chose" lightdm as I thought that was what we had to go with for Nvidia.
But, the fact that I was presented with an option of GDM or lightdm, I should have known.
I thought they dropped GDM with Lucid.

Though I would throw this out, for public consumption...

These errors/warnings started appearing about a week ago, during incremental (semi-daily) updates & upgrades -- and, the list of packages (at the bottom of the dialog) is growing like a cancer.

This staging ppa seems to have solved some issues for me. I now have in the top panel an icon that lets me switch keyboard layouts. And the system freezes that happened when closing utility and applications windows does not happen any more. Good stuff.

The system freezes on window closings is also fixed here with ppa though the ubuntu version still does so & remains almost worthless
(- having gnome-shell, (gnome-shell --replace), running in a terminal on current workspace prevented/prevents the freezes

What do you have set for GTK-Color-Scheme for the foreground? I cannot see it.
All I can see is selected_bg_color:#D3B37D
On a white background like google the font color when I type is white which is invisable to me.

looks like you get a perl issue[...]


I'll check it out later, today. I'm on the trot, right now.
I'm finally at juggernauts...

After days of tussling with this problem, which I believe to be caused by corrupt debconf perl modules, I'm now being blocked at any attempt to fix them by an unconfigured libpam0g:i386 package. LoL!

Oh, what a tangled web we weave!

I might have to swallow my pride and do a fresh install... :P

First you can probably play with ppa-purge, then:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a
(can take a while, dont stop it yourself)

I tried purging this n' that,but got a lovely warning about deleting 137 packages (or whatever). It really is a wonderful message!

You cannot simply type "Y". You actually have to type in a phrase, like "Yes, I want to go ahead and destroy my system!". LoL! :D

Here is the result of the dpkg-reconfigure command (above):

Removing that one is too scary, and probably will really break the system.

If you have deactivated all the ppas, then you get, into synaptic, a list of non genuine packages (under "status" synaptic tab selected in bottom left pane).
There, try to find the package(s) you can downgrade without having to accept the removal of other package(s).
I've often seen the case of only one downgraded package allow then to downgrade the others without trouble. Thats all the joice of that madness cross (recursive) dependencies.

There is a problem in Gnome3 Staging PPA now.

The newest gnome-desktop3_3.7.3-0ubuntu1~raring3
changed the name of the package
libgnome-desktop-3-4
to
libgnome-desktop-3-5.

A number of packages (like gnome-control-center, eog, nautilus) depend on libgnome-desktop-3-4.
So all those must be rebuilt before this installation.

Excellent idea(s)... Thanks!

I have several "half-installed" packages now. I can see these in the error dialogs (in CLI) and my system logs.

However, the "half-installed" libpam package is a deal breaker. Without a functioning libpam, I cannot install, remove, upgrade or downgrade anything else.

libpam is the linchpin. Unless I can fix it, all will be lost.

BTW, there is one libpam component in the GNOME 3 Staging PPA. That's the reason I'm bring it up in this thread.

I'm NOT declaring this component to be THE problem. Just saying... ;)

maybe you need to re-activate that ppa , to get around that libpam issue, to be able to downgrade the other package(s). I cant draw a straight howto, you have to try step by step.

This is a true conundrum -- and also the reason why I love testing. :)

The original perl problem caused upgraded packages to only be "half-installed" and/or "half-configured" (actual terms from the system logs).

This didn't cause any major problems, until a libpam upgrade was "half-configured". And, I haven't figured out a workaround yet.

The borked libpam package refuses to allow anything to be installed/removed/reinstalled/purged et cetera -- including itself. Thus, a double-whammy.

It appears to be a rather unique situation, and countless web searches have failed to produce any useful results.

The easy way out would be to simply divorce myself of the situation and do a fresh install, but where's the fun in that?!?!?

I never heard of libpam before it took a dump, and as a consequence of trying to fix it (and perl 5) I've discovered a whole new world of debug tools and methodologies that I didn't even know existed. It's a learning experience, and experience is the best teacher, or so they say. So, it's providing me with a quality education -- that's all. ;)

Anyway, I'll keep chipping away at the mighty oak.

When I've had my fill, I'll dispatch my old install with a belch, and put Humpty Dumpty back together again. In the meantime, I'm having fun!

A number of packages (like gnome-control-center, eog, nautilus) depend on libgnome-desktop-3-4.
So all those must be rebuilt before this installation.

Actually, we're not going to rebuild everything against the new version of gnome-desktop3 as that's a lot of work and is rather fragile. (Every time the regular Ubuntu repositories update an affected package, we'd have to rebuild that package in the PPA so things don't break).

I just uploaded a fix (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop3/3.6.2-0ubuntu5) for this to the regular raring repositories so run this command (in an hour or two, once it's built and published):


sudo apt-get install libgnome-desktop-3-4=3.6.2-0ubuntu5

I'm not sure that we can (cleanly) automatically fix this for those already using the GNOME3 Staging PPA as they have the 3.7.2 version of that library already installed.

Never mind. ricotz suggested that we just upload a fixed 3.7.2 version to the GNOME3 PPA (which users of the GNOME3 Staging PPA should also have enabled), which should fix this problem without the need to manually install libgnome-desktop-3-4.

I used this staging ppa and the Keyboard Layout Indicator came back...finally. However, I'm having issues with the Romanian Layouts, I've already filed a bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691290 but they suspect it's Ubuntu-specific. The trouble is that the "Romanian" layout is the same with "Romanian(standard)", "Romanian(cedilla)", (Romanian(cedilla standard)" and all the other four Romanian layouts. I need "Romanian standard" back, it's a pain in the **** to use the simple "Romanian" layout (I need to write diacritics with Alt+s or Alt+t and it takes longer when writing documents). When I try to change from "Romanian" to "Romanian(standard)" gnome-shell freezes, I have to log out-log in, I can see it displayed by the Layout Indicator on the top bar (shortcut: "ru", instead of "ro2", as it should have been indexed, before the problems with the Indicator they were displayed "ro1", "ro2", etc., i.e. in previous GNOME versions), but when I press it...it's just the simple Romanian layout, no trace of Romanian Standard. Can you fix this bug once and for all, I beg you!

maybe you need to re-activate that ppa , to get around that libpam issue, to be able to downgrade the other package(s).[...]


Have you tried to reinstall critical packages by chrooting from a live-USB?
You aren't going to believe this...

I've been tied up at (real life) work, this week, and only have a few minutes of idle time here n' there to play around on the computer.

I just got home, updated my Facebook page, and decided to try yet another upgrade, before going to bed.

Guess what?!?!? The dam broke, and 100's of upgrades came flooding in -- so many, in fact, that I got a warning notification that my root partition was running out of space. It was almost as if the entire OS was re-installing itself. LoL! :D

When all was said and done, I performed a cold reboot, and was greeted with a GDM login screen on a beautiful Debian background, instead of the usual monkey vomit LightDM screen.

Alrighty then...

I'm in GS right now, and everything appears to be back to normal. Flying like the wind, it is!

I initiated an apt-get upgrade in CLI, just to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

Right,
The Gnome3 PPA build of gnome-desktop3 (3.7.2-0ubuntu1~raring3) is OK now and soon uploaded into that PPA repository.
So, after installing this packgage, it should be possible to retain the package libgnome-desktop-3-4 and still have the new libgnome-desktop-3-5 (from Gnome3 Staging PPA) installed (parallel installation).
This way other packages will not break.

Something sort of odd to me :confused:

I was just fiddling with synaptic to parse what I had installed (having a bit of trouble playing an mp4) but don't worry about that ;)

The thing is you can see from this screenshot that I do have both the GNOME3 standard PPA and staging PPA installed, but only staging shows up in "origins":

229781

Maybe it's just because there's only one package available from the standard PPA and it's being rebuilt?

But I also did this as an exercise to see if things played "hide-n-seek" like they sometimes do in Unity, and NO they don't :D

I disagree that the error is hard to reproduce. You can try yourself (if you're using the staging ppa and 13.04 raring Ubuntu) to add for instance Romanian (cedilla) or Armenian (eastern) and see what happens. It's not hard to reproduce at all. It's just difficult to fix, that's the problem. I think the developers should care more about regressive bugs like this one than about "improvements". How can one improve something when one is confronted with regressiveness? This shouldn't have been an issue in 12.10. I expect improvements from the developers, not regressiveness.

My cursor is on Gedit in the dock and you can see what it looks like.
But over all this is pretty cool! :D

Is it because of the missing Shell theme in Gnome Tweak tools?

Now "tweak" is working properly :D

Just to be clear; "tweak" was NOT working properly even if I were logged into a standard gnome session as long as the old fallback session was installed. So maybe we need to "purge" that when upgrading from gnome version 3.6* to version 3.7* :confused:

I haven't tried an actual Ubuntu install + our GNOME remix at all in Raring because I simply detest Compiz + llvmpipe.

Yes, gnome-tweak-tool 3.7.4 crashes if gnome-shell isn't running which is a regression. Any volunteers to file the bug?

As of right now, the staging PPA causes several regressions if you use Unity.
The current g-t-t (3.7.4-0ubuntu1~raring1) in a unity only install doesn't crash here at all. Does produce a number of "GError"..." but none are fatal & the tools does whatever it can do on a unity install.

I think that all was gone some time ago with gnome-terminal-3.7.0, why? - because someone thought it was a good idea

The patch to enable a translucent purple terminal by default (if you're using Ambiance or Radiance) was commented out a year ago because it no longer applied cleanly. I took a look at it tonight and got it working again for regular raring (3.6).

I also looked at doing the same for 3.7 but I noticed that the Background tab in Profile Preferences went missing. I filed a bug (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/692609) and I'll wait until that gets resolved before continuing to port the patch to 3.7.

The 'filechooser too small' bug is in GTK. We should look at backporting the fix to the staging PPA (some day GNOME developers will test their development release tarballs and make a new release when they break stuff…)

So maybe it's an Lubuntu dependency problem :confused:

I've done just enough cross-testing to be certain that this is NOT related in any way to either the GNOME3 PPA or the staging PPA.

I also looked at doing the same for 3.7 but I noticed that the Background tab in Profile Preferences went missing. I filed a bug (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/692609) and I'll wait until that gets resolved before continuing to port the patch to 3.7.

I told this Christian Persch guy already two years ago to please not remove ARGB visual from gnome-terminal.

He told me they want to simplify the dialog and the image background was problematic and caused some bugs.

The transparency went away in the same stroke even though the two things are independent.

I wrote him and he said that transparency could come back but he doesn’t see a good reason why transparency is necessary.

I wrote him to explain why I like it. Now a year later 3.7.1 comes out with transparency and ARGB visual removed. There’s no mention of this in the NEWS file and the commits in which this was removed are a confusung grab bag of unrelated changes, no good commit message and certainly not atomic.

So I wrote him why he didn’t listen to my suggestion to enable gtk_color_chooser_set_use_alpha() in the background color dialog and then to put argb visual back in.

No more replies, he doesn’t want to discuss, apparently.

FYI the FAQ is a joke. The setting makes the whole window transparent, not only the background color.

at least here on Ubuntu GNOME Remix iso install with staging ppa those windows always open very small. If re-sized, closed & re-opened go back to small size

The filechooser bug has now been fixed (thanks ricotz for packaging a newer GTK git snapshot). There's actually a new feature that came along with the bug: the filechooser popup now remembers its size! Unfortunately it remembers the very small size for those of us who were using the broken GTK this past week. After logging out and logging back in, you can either resize it to where you like or run these commands to start with the default:


gsettings reset org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser window-size
gsettings reset org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser window-position


This also fixes a bug (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692571) where System Settings would display off-center when run outside of GNOME Shell.

Hi Harry,

Well, there are different ways of doing it, but the fastest (and most easily reversible) way is:


gksudo gedit /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/panel.js


Simply comment out line 921...


const PANEL_ITEM_IMPLEMENTATIONS = {
'activities': ActivitiesButton,
'appMenu': AppMenuButton,
//'dateMenu': imports.ui.dateMenu.DateMenuButton,
'a11y': imports.ui.status.accessibility.ATIndicator,
'volume': imports.ui.status.volume.Indicator,
'battery': imports.ui.status.power.Indicator,
'lockScreen': imports.ui.status.lockScreenMenu.Indicator,

'keyboard': imports.ui.status.keyboard.InputSourceIndicator,
'powerMenu': imports.gdm.powerMenu.PowerMenuButton,
'userMenu': imports.ui.userMenu.UserMenuButton
};

Save & Restart

That's it... ;)

This commit (http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/?id=b69b0d99fdc5319a809299146d281cfd06bf82e9) is also really stupid.

They bind the F2 key to mute the microphone, and write in the commit message they want to bind F20 for testing. But what they actually bound was F2, so now one cannot use F2 anymore.

This is fixed now.

I upgraded to the 13.04 from 12.10 yesterday, process was smooth. Then enabled the staging repo and updated/upgraded; shell, control ceter etc. were held back. So, did a distro upgrade, and was asked to remove 3/4 account plugins (aim/jabber/yahoo etc.), and no other removals.

Now when I shutdown, the screen goes blank, just like it is shutting down, but the hard disk keep working and the laptop is still powered on. Any ideas?

Also how to remove the metacity based fallback/classic session (when I remove metacity it also wants to remove gnome-shell)?

I've been having an uber-irritating problem with Nautilus "3.7.4-0ubuntu1~raring1" the past week or so.

Anyone else experiencing the problem below?!?!?

This Nautilus 3.7.4 package is from the Gnome 3 Staging PPA...


vindsl@Zuul:~$ apt-cache policy nautilus

http://vindsl.com/images/vindsl-desktop-3-feb-2013-2(650x520).png (http://vindsl.com/images/vindsl-desktop-3-feb-2013-2.png)


What I've done here is:


Opened Nautilus 3.7.4
Randomly picked a file (any file works for POC)
Right-clicked the "Properties" on .conkyrc


As you can see, the filename (.conkyrc) is highlighted, by default. This is normal.

However, if I place the mouse pointer on the highlighted name, and click it (any mouse button), Nautilus will crash and disappear.

Can someone try this, and let me know if Nautilus 3.7.4 crashes n' burns for you too, when you click the "Name" in "Basic Properties"?

Not sure if it's a bug, or something is janky with my install...

Thanks! ;)

Posted here since this is the gnome staging ppa thread and to know if anyone else here is facing the same issue.

Any of you still have metacity installed? I thought that was supposed to be removed with the 3.8. When I try to remove it, shell is also going to be removed. Shell still has a dependency on metacity?

Do you have both the Gnome3 and Gnome3 Staging PPA's installed:

https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3?field.series_filter=raring

https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3-staging

You need 'gnome-desktop3' package from the standard PPA in order for "staging" to work right.

No, I don't. But there is a gnome-desktop3 package in the staging ppa and I read somewhere that staging is now independent of gnome3 ppa.

Anyways, I will try your suggestion and will let you know the results, thanks.

Just FYI you can see what PPA's you have installed like this:


ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d


lance@lance-desktop:~$ ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
gnome3-team-gnome3-raring.list
gnome3-team-gnome3-raring.list.save
gnome3-team-gnome3-staging-raring.list
gnome3-team-gnome3-staging-raring.list.save
ricotz-testing-raring.list


Unless you directly edited "/etc/apt/sources.list" which is now kind of frowned upon :)

Right now I'm purging "ricotz-testing-raring.list" because it's not what I want.

Just adding, I'd also NOT use Rico's Staging PPA (https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/staging?field.series_filter=raring) since it depends on:


WHILE USING THIS PPA MAKE SURE YOU ALSO ADDED THE GNOME3 PPA AND GNOME TESTING PPA!
ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 (https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3)
ppa:ricotz/testing (https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/testing)

So it's wait and see :D

I suppose the two different "staging" PPA's can be confusing :confused:

Okay, my mistake. Just checked and I do not have gnome session fallback (or panel/applets...) installed. It is just the metacity that is kept back and I guess this is the case with everyone (since u r not offered to install metacity with fallback session). I don't know why (or where) there is still a dependency on metacity.

Also, the issue with shutdown must be something different then.

It is. Until a couple of pages back in this thread, I thought that everyone was talking about the ricotz staging ppa and wondered why I don't see many packages in there.
Also the ricotz ppas (testing and staging) are quite unstable. It actually broke my 12.10 install and I had to reinstall.

If you're willing to try something that might blow things up run:


sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop

Then just select (n) and post the full output :)

ATM I don't think you can get an actual "gnome-session" to coexist peacefully with Ubuntu's Unity :(

But performance of an actual Ubuntu session has been so flaky for me since Precise that I've almost given up on Unity ever working right again.

Do any of you get the file search working from within the shell? The search options are set and even when I do a file search from tracker and from within the nautilus I get the files I am looking for.

But if I do the shell search I don't see the files. I don't see any files at all in the shell. I see folders, pictures/documents etc., listed (though I disabled both folders - in the search settings) but not the actual files. Anyone any different?

By the way the recursive search is working again in nautilus, which is awesome but not really fast.

Since I upgraded from ubuntu-gnome, no unity here and have the latest version installed :(

ubuntu-gnome-desktop is already the newest version.


Jeremy Bicha would have to confirm this .... or call me a liar ;) .... but I don't think Ubuntu GNOME Remix has an official upgrade path as yet, at least it hasn't been thoroughly tested, so I wonder if things just got borked during the upgrade :confused:

I could be all wet though :redface:

I'd just expected an output similar to what VinDSL posted, in hopes that we could parse any missing depends or recommends.

Wonderful! So am I officially the first person on earth who upgraded ubuntu gnome? Can I have my certificate please?

Seriously, that might be the issue in here. But I can confirm that most of it went fine and smooth. The process worked as it should. The ppa got disabled, upgraded the packages (with just the ubuntu gnome packages, no unity), the new usc etc. were installed and no packages removed (I guess I removed the gnome session fallback sometime back). The new system works fine (except ofcourse shutdown and auto-lock screen).

In a way, you make sense here. Tracker still uses high cpu cycles (96-100 %) and now we have application spcific search enabled in shell. But I read it somewhere that the results in the shell from nautilus still depends on the tracker (though the search within nautilus uses a diff backend). I could very well be wrong though. But apart from that tracker is pretty much useless (in my usecase at least)

I've been having an uber-irritating problem with Nautilus "3.7.4-0ubuntu1~raring1" the past week or so.

Anyone else experiencing the problem below?!?!?

I pinned-down this problem further...

Nautilus disappears when I'm looking at the properties on a remoter server (only).

If I click on the filename of the above pic (in Atlanta) Nautilus crashes n' burns.

If I click on it locally, Nautilus works fine...

Some of the buttons are AWOL, on the panel.

Maybe they renamed something-or-another, or the paths have changed. I haven't had a chance to dig into it. But, nothing is missing that I care about.

Also, it could be theme related. The theme I'm running is pretty old -- amazing it works at all.

I got rid of the date & time button again. Evidently, the update overwrote my modded "panel.js" file. Anyway, that was my doing...

I don't see anything in dconf-editor, the only thing I've found so far is /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-classic.session:

What truly is impressive about this version of GNOME so far is how well it performs on even low-end hardware:


VIA C7 CPU @ 1500MHz
VIA CN700/P4M800 Pro/P4M800 CE/VN800 Graphics [S3 UniChrome Pro] (rev 01)

If you are talking about the legacy/classic session, then (AFAIK) it is by design, only the hot corner works.

Does anyone happen to know where the config files reside for the new gnome-classic?

I think the main pieces are


/usr/share/gnome-shell/modes/classic.json
/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-classic.session
/usr/share/xsessions/gnome-classic.desktop
And you can run this to switch to the classic mode without needing to log out first.

gnome-shell --mode=classic -r Just run gnome-shell -r to get back to the regular mode.



I really wished Ubuntu had used something other than Compiz.
Unity in Ubuntu 10.10 was built on mutter but performance was horrible. I'm guessing Compiz will be dumped when Ubuntu moves to the next generation display server (Wayland or whatever) but that doesn't necessarily mean that Unity will use mutter.

"center": [],
"right": ["a11y", "keyboard", "volume", "bluetooth",

Need to find a more appropriate name for the new classic "panels" so as not to be confused with gnome-panel ;)

But I see that it lists:


"static-workspaces@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com"

So maybe I just don't understand how workspace switching works in the new shell-classic session.

Well I may be wrong blaming Compiz altogether but I could at least use Unity-2D on P4M800 graphics (or the fallback session) in Precise.

Quantal and Raring are just a no-go on that hardware, and also a horrible kludge even on this hardware which would run a standard Precise Unity session just fine:

Heh! I've always liked Synaptic...

The funny (odd) thing is, I have some Debian buds (on another forum) that think I'm crazy for using Synaptic. They're always making snarky comments about Synaptic (and me, for using it).

They wouldn't use Synaptic if you put a gun in their collective mouths, and beat them with a rubber hose. They're Aptitude snobs.

Different strokes...


Should I purge ricotz's PPAs...? Or should I march ahead bravely...? It seems faster with ricotz's upgrades (at least on this drm-next kernel)... ;)
No need to purge ricotz's PPA, IMO.

The "meat" of the matter is the Gnome3 Staging PPA. I always leave it enabled (checked) in the Synaptic repos.

I use the Gnome3/Ricotz PPAs occasionally, like salt/pepper.

Example: I just did a regular daily upgrade of all official and 3rd party repos, including Gnome3 Staging.

Then, I went back and enabled ricotz's PPA, refreshed, and *looked* at the available upgrades. I wanted to 'spice' things up a bit, but I didn't want them all.

In Synaptic, doing a "Smart Upgrade" would have removed Gnome et cetera (probably due to it wishing to install mozjs188). I didn't want to go down that path, yet.

Instead, I *looked* at what a "Default Upgrade" would accomplish, and was much happier with the packages it selected.

After doing a "Default Upgrade" of ricotz's PPA, I disabled (unchecked) it in the repos list, restarted, and everything appears to be working fine.

Anyway, I see no reason to purge ricotz's PPA. Alternately, I see no reason to have it enabled all the time either, but that's just me.

Once again, different strokes... ;)


Are you sure that you don't have the app menu extension enabled (or running GNOME Classic as has already been suggested?)Good eye!

Yes, I've had the app menu extension enabled for so long, I forgot it was an extension. LoL! :D

And, no, I'm not running Gnome Classic AFAIK. Hard to tell, when you're dealing with Frankenstein's Monster, whose features sometimes meld together in strange ways, intentionally or unintentionally.

I switched back n' forth between Gnome & Classic via CLI.

They look very similar, but the window buttons (max/min/close) switch sides in Classic mode, plus it adds a lower panel.

The left-side in the upper panel look identical, regardless of which mode I'm running.

Hrm... Just had an unusual experience!

After doing the (above) upgrades, this machine started dropping into Fallback Mode, when awaking from a screensaver blanking event.

That is, I would walk away from this machine for a few minutes (logged into GS) -- the screensaver would blank the display -- but, when I woke it up, I was in Fallback Mode, not GS.

I started to compose a post about this situation, but got distracted with updating my Facebook account. LoL!

When I finally got back to sorting it, I noticed there was a single upgrade available in Synaptic... gnome-screensaver 3.6.1-0ubuntu3. Hello?!?!?

After upgrading gnome-screensaver, I saw a post by zika (in another thread) pointing to this video: http://mirror.linux.org.au/linux.conf.au/2013/mp4/The_real_story_behind_Wayland_and_X.mp4

"Perfect test," me thinks...

I watched the video, sort of. I fell asleep several times, but every time I awoke, the video was still playing, e.g. as if Caffeine was running in the background (which it wasn't).

"Great, now the screensaver is broken!" :)

To my surprise, after the video completed, my monitor gently faded to black (screensaver blanked the display). When I moved the mouse, the panel was missing, there was no transparency in Conky, and most everything else was missing. My immediate thought was, "Okay, we're in Fallback Mode again, but... This time, everything eventually popped back up, one component at a time. And, I was still in GS.

If that wasn't spooky enough, that's basically what the video was talking about... the random way xorg-server draws windows, borders, et cetera (vs Wayland).

Anyway, unless I'm still dreaming, it looks like the new gnome-screensaver has some method of preventing your computer from falling asleep while watching videos. The jury is still out, on GS coming back up, or Fallback Mode.

Anybody else experience this?

If that wasn't spooky enough, that's basically what the video was talking about... the random way xorg-server draws windows, borders, et cetera (vs Wayland).

Anyway, unless I'm still dreaming, it looks like the new gnome-screensaver has some method of preventing your computer from falling asleep while watching videos. The jury is still out, on GS coming back up, or Fallback Mode.

Anybody else experience this?Some of MM players have switch to choose if You want it to prevent SS while You're watching a video... That might be turned on (I think that most of them has that as default) in Your case...
I had problem with waking from SS in GnomeClassic (GS) yesterday... In the meantime there was an gnome-scrensaver upgrade... So, I do not know if anything have changed with that upgrade...
It seems that LP is down (probably due to the storm) so...

The win+tab landed in shell. The alt+tab moved to the old windows based style. Now, win key is one stop shop for most functions, great!

@VinDSL, I read somewhere about the new changes that allow applications like media players to switch on the inhibit suspend. Probably that just landed.

I wonder what mechanism 'they' are using?!?!?

BTW, I was watching the video in a Chromium 26 (Canary) (http://download-chromium.appspot.com/) tab via the QuickTime 7.6.6 / Totem 3.6.3 plugin(s). I watched that (45 min.) vid twice, yesterday -- no screen blanking either time, from start to finish. SS is set to blank >= 10 min.

I just checked my X settings, before, during, and after playback (my third viewing), and couldn't see any change(s).

Status remained the same:

vindsl@Zuul:~$ xset q | grep -A1 -i dpms
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On
vindsl@Zuul:~$

It's obviously not using the power management system and/or using it in some enigmatic way.

If I manually turn off the screensaver blanking (there are undoubtedly other ways, like all_things_Linux), it looks like this:

vindsl@Zuul:~$ xset s off && xset dpms force on && xset -dpms

vindsl@Zuul:~$ xset q | grep -A1 -i dpms
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0
DPMS is Disabled
vindsl@Zuul:~$

I'm still having issues with GS dropping into Fallback upon awakening.

And, yes, it seems 'the storm' has affected certain NOC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_operations_center)s / Datacenter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_center)s. I had to switch (repo) mirrors yesterday, because the one I normally use was throwing checksum errors on Gnome3 Staging.

Thanks, for the feedback, guys! ;)

Screensaver is working flawlessly, since I switched back to GDM.

Nautilus stopped crashing, when looking at file properties on remote servers.

Now, if 'they' can just get gnome-tweak-tool working. Looks like a python bug, to me.

Despite my past tribulations with NetworkManager, I'd like to try out the latest stable version, just released.

I'm aware neither PPA is likely to have it in the next 10 minutes, but I'm wondering what to do to get it "cleanly"? This staging PPA? Wait for it in the official GNOME3 PPA? Or will I just have to see if it's pulled into the official repos for raring?

Cole, the new NetworkManager will be uploaded to the regular raring repositories soon (I'm thinking we'll see it this week or next). The version there already is only a few weeks old and was an "unstable snapshot" leading up to NM 0.9.8.

I've been switching back n' forth between GDM & LightDM.

GDM has been working flawlessly for me. In particular, I love the screensaver display (the one that appears after x minutes of disuse). It was a large digital clock in the middle, with large, animated chevrons pointing toward it, lovely background, volume buttons in the upper panel, blah, blah, blah. And, the desktop pops up immediately, when I tap the keyboard.

LightDM is the one that's giving me fits. Items in the upper panel are ghosted out (white on white colors). The custom wallpaper usually comes up in the login display, but not before flashing the 'monkey vomit' default wallpaper. Recovering from the screensaver is a crapshoot, et cetera.

GDM login screen is a class act, these days!

LightDM looks/acts like an amateurish hack, IMO. ;)

Would appreciate if someone could enlighten me what I did wrong (packages gratuitously uninstalled, etc.)


My Empathy starts up, but has no credentials. When I click account settings in the Empathy window Gnome Control Center pops up with the icon view, but there is only Gnome’s online accounts visible, the signond based one disappeared (g-c-c version 3.7.5 from gnome3-staging PPA). How’s this supposed to work nowadays?
Evolution 3.6 from main doesn’t start up with an error message that it can’t dinf some ecal widget
When I click "Network settings" in the GS network dropdown nothing happens
When I type "network" in the GS overview it only displays .desktop file entries of apps, but nothing from g-c-c (i.e., to reach the NM panel).
With nautilus drawing the desktop, when I go into the overview, nautilus fades away, together with the desktop wallpaper, and I have a land gray while the overview is showing.

The latest evince draws in both libarchive 12 and libarchive13.

Evince 3.7.90 (the packages libevdocument3-4) depends on libarchive13.
We have libarchive12 in RR now.
That is a dependency of libgxps2, which also libevdocument3-4 depends on.

It seems we need to have libgxps2 rebuilt against libarchive13 here in order to get rid of the older ABI libarchive12.

This is of course my opinion, and it, after all, depends wheter you prefer the very latest git-versions (Gnome Testing PPA + Gnome3 Staging) or more stable point releases (only Gnome3 Staging).
However, should you choose Gnome Testing PPA, it is better to believe what Ricotz said: then both enabled.

Alright it wasn't that clear while I didn't quote the post I replied to.
The PPA descriptions should give one the needed hints what to add.

What I am saying is the if you want to use ppa:ricotz/testing you are suppose to add ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 and ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging too.
Although you can use the gnome3-team PPAs separately if you don't want to go for the git snapshots.

And yes, we are working together on the gnome3 PPAs.

So empathy can be configured using signon online accounts in the control center again.

But now it configures Evolution also, where I already have a traditionally configured Gmail POP account. So now I have a POP account and an IMAP account that I cannot delete and do not really want. And in the Online Accounts panel there is no mention of Evolution at all, only Empathy.

And, it survived a cold boot.

When GDM appeared, ONBOARD was enabled. ONBOARD popped up again on the desktop -- so, I disabled it.

The digital clock is back in the top panel -- need to go hack (get rid of) that again. Happens after every major upgrade(s).

Dropbox asked for auth. Guess I'll need to go through that, in various apps, for a while.

As "harry" said, desktop is opening outward, from a single point, in the middle of the display -- like a starburst effect from the '90s. LoL!

I'll need to tron a bunch of extensions. Some of them disappeared, after the reboot. That was to be expected -- happens on every version upgrade.

Other than those few things, it looks like everything is going to work.

I'll putz around today, cleaning up the UI, and getting it back to where I had it set. No show stoppers that I can see, so far.

If you have synaptic installed, you can see the real dependency issue from there.
Mark clutter-1.0 to be upgraded and see what is says.Of course I've investigated that. No GUI is needed:
The following packages will be upgraded:
gir1.2-clutter-1.0 libclutter-1.0-0{b}
2 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 709 kB of archives. After unpacking 4,096 B will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libclutter-1.0-0 : Breaks: libcogl11 but 1.12.2-0ubuntu1 is installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Remove the following packages:
1) gir1.2-totem-1.0
2) libcogl11
3) libtotem0
4) totem
5) totem-mozilla
6) totem-plugins

Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
7) ubuntu-desktop recommends totem
8) ubuntu-desktop recommends totem-mozilla


Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q
Abandoning all efforts to resolve these dependencies.
Abort.
:~$ sudo apt-get purge libcogl11
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
gir1.2-totem-1.0* libcogl11* libtotem0* totem* totem-mozilla* totem-plugins*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
After this operation, 4,114 kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? nAs I wrote above, it seems that ricotz left dependency of totem and others still on libcogl11...
To emphasize: this is not a big deal, just annoyance when other packages need dist-upgrade... (like liquorix etc. ...)
New Totem is just being cooked for amd_64 as I write this in ppa:ricotz/staging so...
Update₁: Resolved... Thank You Ricotz...

I'm also confused about this Smart vs Default upgrade (in this edition)...
I made a few changes in my Synaptic's Preferences. One of them is:

Settings ->> Preferences ->> General ->> Making Changes ->> System Upgrade ->> Select "Always Ask" ->> Apply/OK

After that, when you Reload & Mark All Upgrades you will be given 2 choices for performing the upgrade:

Default (which is basically the same as "sudo apt-get upgrade" in CLI)
Smart Upgrade ( which is basically the same as "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade")


Personally, I look at the changes (click Apply) on both Default Upgrade & Smart Upgrade, before committing to the changes.

Most times, IMO, you are better off using the Default Upgrade, however, there are times when doing a Smart Upgrade is the better choice.

I look specifically for what's going to be removed, and what's going to be held back.

Sometimes... even many times... doing ANY upgrade (on a dev release) will appear to clean your clock.

If things look too gnarly, you're better off waiting for a day or two before doing upgrades. That's what I did, in the case above. I just hung-out for about 12 hours, before attempting a Smart Upgrade, and everything turned out fine.



Maybe wrong place to ask, what theme do you use and this monitor on the right...help me LOL. Is this from the ppa?
Yeah, probably the wrong place, but briefly...

I enjoy customizing the UI, e.g. theme et al. I've made too many changes to list them here.

Best place for getting info on doing stuff like this is in the monthly desktop showcase thread. The mods/admins stickify it to the top of "The Community Cafe" sub-forum.

The current thread is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2111300

Current desktop screenie: http://vindsl.com/images/vindsl-desktop-23-feb-2013-1.png

The widgets, on the right-side, are a customization of an app called Conky. There is a link in my sig, if you're interested.

Okay, back to our regular programming... ;)

But still please be specific.
Currently there are at least 5 different PPA's of Rico Tzschichholz around:

2. Experimental
3. Gnome Testing
4. Staging
5. Unstable

I see new gst* (1.1.x) in the experimental ppa. They are fairly interesting in that the gst-libav plugin is using the built-in libav source rather than the system shared as Debian/Ubuntu always uses.

Will solve the quicktime decoding issue in a more positive manner, (libav9 does multi-thread decoding better), than the fix coming for gst-1.0.x which will set the default back to 1 (no multi-thread.

Whether 13.04 plans to use libav-9 & gst-1.1 no idea, there was plenty of time for libav9 (released in early Jan.), but that was then, almost March...

(- libav9 would also fix ffaudio plugin in audacious though a simple 2 char source edit would have it enabled now with libav-8.x

Can someone help me understand this? Not complaining, mind you... :D

Since I started running Gnome 3 Staging...

When I use LightDM to login to Unity, it's a total mess -- I cannot change the default settings -- cannot use custom fonts, iconsets, blah, blah, blah.

Looks like garbage!

I cannot even login to Unity at all, using GDM -- won't allow me to change the User and/or DE.

However, if I login to GS Stagiing (using either DM), open a terminal, and simply type:

unity

...Unity comes up picture-perfect -- everything the way it's supposed to be. Hello?!?!?

Do any of you get the file search working from within the shell? The search options are set and even when I do a file search from tracker and from within the nautilus I get the files I am looking for

This bug is now fixed. But the bugfix need nautilus to be built with tracker support (bug report says the last version in ubuntu did not have tracker support). Without this we will not see the actual files/documents in the shell search.

From cocimo cecchi in the bug report https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693195 : I now pushed a fix for this to git master, and verified it working correctly.
If you're testing packages and not building from source, make sure you're testing with a distribution that builds Nautilus with Tracker support enabled
(Ubuntu doesn't do that, at least the last version didn't).

Last I checked which admittedly was several months ago, nautilus with tracker enabled could lead to excessive cpu (don't remember if seen in both unity & Gs sessions

So maybe you should re-build the current ppa nautilus with tracker enabled & see how it performs (only takes a few minutes to build
(- have no real interest here in tracker unless it becomes default enabled & or provides something of value in a ubuntu session.

Edit: - don't particulary see any issue with nautilus (3.7.x) being built with 'enable-tracker=yes', whether that gives you whatever you're missing don't know, only using some of those ppa's for convience & to see when/what starts breaking a ubuntu session

Anyone else having issues with "intuitive" caribou-antler keyboards popping up, all over the place, for no reason?

One keyboard takes up half the display when I'm logging in via GDM.

A smaller one pops up on the desktop, when I first login.

Occasionally, one will pop up, when I click an indicator, in the top panel, and so forth, and so on.

These virtual keyboards disappear as soon as I mouse-over them, but it's getting irritating. :P

The gnome shell file/document search is one of the core areas of the gnome desktop. I don't think the staging or gnome 3 team ppa versions has to worry about the ubuntu session. We are not talking about the default repo version anyways.


...don't particulary see any issue with nautilus (3.7.x) being built with 'enable-tracker=yes'...
Thats good news!!!. Hopefully jeremy/ricotz will include this in the ppa.

Been getting this error, for the past week_or_so:


E: /var/cache/apt/archives/colord_0.1.30-0ubuntu3_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/colord/icons/color-munki-photo-ambient.svg', which is also in package libcolord-common 0.1.28-0ubuntu1~13.04~ricotz0

I've tried various tricks, to get rid of it, but no joy.

It's more of an annoyance than anything, but...

Anyone know how to fix this problem?!?!?

Where did you get the package libcolord-common (0.1.28-0ubuntu1) from?
There is no such package in RR repos.
Perhaps you could remove that one first.

Looks like it was from Ricotz Testing (only Ricotz PPA I have enabled)...

Worked a treat!

I got rid of that library. Then, on the next go_around, colord upgraded without error.

Maybe that lib flew in, under the radar, last week -- a case of bad timing, on my part, or whatever.

Sometimes... something sneeks into a package that shouldn't be there. It gets corrected almost immediately, but if you upgraded at (say) 9:00 AM, instead of 10:00 AM, you get the "surprise package". :D

I *suspect* something like that happened here...

VinDSL

Hrm.

Well, I wanted to wait n' see -- do a few restarts, cold boots -- et cetera, but...

Ever since I removed libcolord-common, I haven't seen any more caribou-antler virtual keyboards.

Coincidence? Maybe.

If you'll remember (a few posts above) I purged the caribou-antler package, but the keyboards kept popping up, on every login.

I had a gut feeling one of the libraries/scripts/binaries/whatever had the antler keyboards hard-coded into it.

Anyway, *fingers crossed*. Hopefully, the virtual keyboards are gone for good...

For the most part seems ok here in Gs session, 2 small oddities - org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-color-scheme has no affect anymore & Videos always opens small, resizing, closing, re-opening has no effect (will have to put up a 3.7 Videos & see there

In an ubuntu session things are fairly good until g-c-c & g-s-d are upgraded, those do cause issues. Prior to with everything else default installed/shared updated only a few -
gnome-terminal looks bad in ambiance theme
gnome-screenshot doesn't work, produces an unclosable white window the size of screenshot
gtk2 (gtkrc) apps are not themed right in ambiance
(maybe a few more, nm-applet crash is one

After g-c-c/g-s-d -
always has an undetermined g-s-d crash on log in
custom keyboard shortcuts are non-functional
occasionally unity launcher get whacked out with no icons
(probably a bit more, as time permits

On a positive gtk-3.7+ & nautilus-3.7.+ seem fine

In an ubuntu session [...]
My Unity sessions have been trashed, ever since I started running Gnome Staging. The thing is, Unity looks/acts horrible, only when I do a conventional login via GDM or LightDM.

However, I discovered that if I load Unity from inside a GS session (replace the Gnome-Shell DE with Unity) then Unity looks/works great -- never been better, actually. Go figure!

All I do is:

Login to GS via GDM
Wait for GS to fully load (takes a minute or two on this rig)
Open a terminal, type:

unity --replace
Unity will start replacing GS.

At some point, the terminal dialog will lag-out (and eventually timeout) on a warning message complaining:
Compiz (decor) - Warn: No default decoration found, placement will not be correct.I simply close the terminal window when that happens -- Unity continues to load -- and life is good.

Kind of a convoluted way of starting Unity, but it works. :)

I'm at a loss to explain why Unity is so janky, when I start it from GDM or LightDM -- but, it works perfectly from inside a GS session.

Will have to give that a curiosity try, - dumped the install I commented on above, may put a new *ppa one in later

At least here the unity session was sorta ok, especially with older g-c-c & g-s-d.

Using the Gnome3 and the Ricotz Testing PPAs I now get very choppy rendering in Gnome Shell and even a very choppy mouse cursor. It’s fine in mutter alone and metacity, and it’s even fine in the GS based GDM login screen.

Whelp. After intense studying of gsettings keys (a freshly created user didn’t have this) I figured that I had screen magnifier on, with no magnification. There’s no way to tell that it is enabled. Must’ve hit the wrong keyboard shotcuts.

Not sure if this has been covered alreadly but here it is:

Upcoming Features for 13.04
While Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 will ship with GNOME 3.6 by default (like 12.10), GNOME 3.8 will be available in the GNOME 3 PPA.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/

So, 3.8 is optional. Once May 9th gets here I'll have a spare partition so I might try both 3.6 and 3.8 at the same time. :)

I also fixed another problem, too.

'rhythmbox-client' was causing Conky to hard-lock, every time I started Rhythmbox (I've been using 'rhythmbox-client' to print the 'title' in Conky).

I came up with code that uses 'qdbus/mpris' instead of 'rhythmbox-client'. So far, so good...

As a side-note...

The screen blanker has been working lately, more or less. It doesn't trap me on the GDM login screen any more.

So, I turned screen blanking back on, during the session (15 minutes).

The problem now is, if the walk away from this machine for an extended length of time, it will awake from GDM, but during the rest of the session, the timeout drops from 15 minutes -> 30 seconds of inactivity. Sheesh!

Guess I go turn-off the screen blanking again...

And, I've cold-booted this machine several times since then.

The only way I could make Unity work, before today, was to log into GS, open a terminal window, and replace GS with Unity.

Now, I can directly log into Unity via GDM, without any monkeying around...

I swear, for the past 12 hours, Unity was borked -- all I was seeing was a default blue Gnome wallpaper -- no panels -- no nothing. And, none of the usual tricks worked.

I did several incremental upgrades today. Something_or_another must have been missing earlier...

Sorry! I should have stated that <the above> more clearly...

I still cannot log into a Unity session, the conventional way, using a Display Manager, e.g. via GDM/LightDM.

However...

I can, once again, shell into Unity from a Gnome-Shell session, by replacing the DE via CLI.

Here's the drill:


Boot
Log into a Gnome-Shell session via GDM.
Give GS a couple of minutes to fully load any/all shell scripts, extensions, et cetera.
Open a terminal and run:
unity --replace &
Unity will start replacing Gnome-Shell.
At some point, the DE replacement process will hang. This is normal.
Close the terminal, and the process will complete itself.


I might mention, this is how I've had to start Unity for months.

It was only recently that I could start a Unity session successfully, via the Display Manager. ;)

I believe I fixed that now for the GNOME3 Staging PPA by merging the Ubuntu changes to gnome-session into the PPA packaging. It should be possible to run Unity now on Saucy with the GNOME3 Staging PPA (for Raring) enabled.

I think the same work would need to be done to gnome-session in the regular GNOME3 PPA but I don't have the time to test it. The work should just be adding the new user session upstart file and updating debian/rules. It's a bit of an edge case anyway since Saucy uses logind but only the GNOME3 Staging PPA uses logind (the regular GNOME3 PPA does not) and we're hesitant to change that. It's more important for us to make sure regular Saucy works and that Raring works with or without the PPAs, whether users run Unity or GNOME. And I don't know if Unity needs an update for that upstart change too...

Okay...

Tried to start Unity from CLI, this morning, and I'm getting a seg fault, when the icons are loading, sooo...

I went into ccsm, and the Unity Plugin was disabled. I tried to re-enable it, and OpenGL, Scale, and so forth, and so on, but no joy.

Technically, I CAN log into Unity via GDM, but I'm getting a "unity-panel-service: process not found" error because the Unity Plugin et al. is being disabled at startup, e.g. no panels. It's just sitting dead, at the desktop, probably because of conflicts in my Unity setup -- wobbly windows, the cube, or whatever. A reset is probably in order. I'll try resetting Unity, when I get a chance, this afternoon... and, go from there.

Anyway, I judge this is a conflict in Unity, not a GDM/GNOME3 problem. ;)

I've removed RB completelly just at the start of that bump...
Never turned back...

RB also still has this streaming bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1153934

I've been using Audacious for streaming audio, and it works great. It actually integrates better with the MPRIS extension than RB does.

w00t! Breakage!

Latest upgrades totally borked GDM -- hard-locks this box during boot process(es). My best guess is, it's hardware related -- PS/2 keyboard goes dormant, et cetera. Power button still works, though... :)

Screen displays a torrent of errors -- happened to see "Gnome Display Manager [Failed]" scroll by after the umpteenth reset. Chalk up one for serendipity!

Switching to LightDM (haven't had to use it in ages). That allowed me to boot, but once I logged into Gnome3 Staging, I noticed some of my extensions turned janky.

Example: Dock-to-Dock extension (arguably a personal hack - compiled from source) autohides regardless of the settings - wasn't authored to work with 3.9.1.

DBUS MPRIS looks to be dead, too.

Continuing...

Hi VinDSL,

Could you have the same bug as I do.
After upgrading (from saucy-proposed) vte3, booting stopped to tty1.
Gdm just wont work.
However, I can command startx from tty1 and that works.
I downgraded vte3 (libvte-2.90-9 and libvte-2.90-common)) back to the version 0.34.2-0ubuntu2 and that solved the booting issue.

Hi Harry,

I'll go check -- might have snuck in under the radar.

I usually check all the upgrades before committing them (especially "proposed", so called) but I was tired, last night. I just pulled the trigger, powered-down, and went to bed.

Heh! Nasty surprise, when I attempted a boot-up, this morning. That woke me up... LoL! :D

Think I found my (MPRIS) problem... affects all DEs installed on this (saucy) desktop box BTW.

Interesting read!

BUG LINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtchooser/+bug/1176686


Hmm, this is a bit complicated. qtchooser shouldn't be installed on non-development machines [...] was patched to forcefully add /usr/lib/[your-arch]/qt4/bin to PATH which is why it works for most people now (but causes Qt5 to not be easily usable [...] since the addition is before /usr/bin).

The root problem within qtchooser itself is that it handles qdbus the same as purely development oriented binaries, so qdbus cannot be installed to /usr/bin as before, so on non-development machines qdbus is not available at all via default PATH, regardless of multi-arch or not.

One more change is that qdbus has now been split to its own qdbus-qt5 package in Debian, so it will come to saucy as well.

[...] regarding qtchooser itself, I'm not sure. The upstream probably hasn't considered multi-arch so far.

Looks like the devil has appeared at our doorsteps! LoL! :D

Hi there,

So you have the working vte3 (version 0.34.2-0ubuntu2) installed.

Well...

I'm back to LightDM. LoL! :D

I've been chomping at the bit, trying to figure out of way to install Linux 3.10 on this legacy machine.

Finally came up with a winning combination, except GDM won't work, again...


Current Date/Time: Sun May 26 10:45:04 MST 2013
Distro Release: Ubuntu Saucy Salamander (development branch)
Kernel Release: Linux 3.10.0-031000rc2-generic
Gnome Release: GNOME Shell 3.9.1
Unity Release: unity 7.0.0

OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.2, 128 bits)
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.2.0


LLVMpipe generation is slow, e.g. laggy, but GNOME3 Staging fired right up.

Desktop looked wretched on Linux 3.9.2, but Linux 3.10-rc2 worked a treat...

Anyway, this'll do, until I can come up with a patch for nVidia-304 (or official support is available).

VinDSL
May 27th, 2013, 12:45 AM
Here's a weird one for you. Gave me goosebumps... Really! :D

After 4 hours of LLVMpipe lagginess, I couldn't take it anymore, soooo I started looking for a solution.

Startpage (Google proxy search engine) didn't help much -- found zillions of posts complaining about it, but that was about it.

Funny thing was, some (respected names) in these forums said, they couldn't see any difference in performance, between nVidia drivers and Nouveau. How could that be?!?!?

Then, it dawned on me. My debug script was reporting VMware, Inc. to be the OpenGL vendor. Hello :confused:

After pondering this for a while, I started thinking about "/etc/modprobe.d" et al. Seems like I blacklisted Nouveau years ago. That couldn't be it, right? Otherwise, why is it working, albeit horrible slow, laggy, and consuming 100% CPU usage most of the time?

Sure enough! Even though I (myself) hadn't blacklisted Nouveau (or it had gone to null) there was a file in "/etc/modprobe.d" called "nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.conf".

I renamed that file, with a different extension, and restarted Saucy. Bingo!

Updated report...


Current Date/Time: Sun May 26 16:34:55 MST 2013
Distro Release: Ubuntu Saucy Salamander (development branch)
Kernel Release: Linux 3.10.0-031000rc2-generic

OpenGL vendor string: nouveau
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on NV4B
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 9.2.0

w00t! No more LLVMpipe -- no more lagginess!

This box is flying now! I ran GTKPerf a few times, and the results/performance are indistinguishable from nVidia-304, now.

Makes me wonder how many 1000's of others are suffering from this Nouveau blacklist/VMware "problem". ;)

VinDSL
May 27th, 2013, 01:32 AM
Upgraded to Linux 3.10-rc3. GDM is working again.

Don't know if it's related to the new kernel, or the Nouveau fix.

That's a wrap, for this weekend... ;)

* Ubu 13.10 Saucy / Gnome-Shell 3.9.1 Staging / Linux 3.10-rc3 / Nouveau Gallium 0.4 / Mesa Hack

VinDSL
May 28th, 2013, 01:19 AM
I'm unsure exactly what this may mean, because if you install nvidia proprietary using "*.run" file it requires that nouveau be blacklisted , and will create nvidia-installer-disable-nouveau.con for you. I read a few pages back, thinking this may reference something else, but couldn't find anything.
Okay, here's my *thinking*... ;)

I have a kernel fetish -- cannot stand it, unless I'm running the latest mainline kernel -- probably a psychological defect, second only to my addiction to Conky.

I tried to install Linux 3.10-rc1, last week, but this is a legacy machine, which requires nVidia 304.xx drivers (currently).

nVidia-304 has not been patched for Linux 3.10. It causes the Linux 3.10 install to fail, because the initial nVidia module won't build.

Fast forward... I saw a benchmark comparison -- nVidia vs Nouveau -- while surfing the web. Bottom line: Nouveau performed slight better than the latest nVidia drivers, with the Mesa Hack that I already have installed.

I started thinking... why don't I just purge nVidia-304 and install Nouveau?!?!? That way, I can install Linux 3.10 without having the nVidia drivers booger_things_up.

Sure enough, this worked, but I was stuck in LLVMpipe mode, which is slow as snot.

When I'd had my fill of the LLVMpipe lagginess, I started looking for a solution. After all, some ppl said they couldn't see any difference in performance -- nVidia vs Nouveau.

As I was sitting here, mulling it over, drinking coffee, and listening to 90's Alternative Rock (http://www.181.fm/playing.php?station=181-90salt&embed=1), it occurred to me that I most assuredly had blacklisted Nouveau, in the past. While I was checking into it, that's when I discovered that Nouveau was indeed blacklisted. Soooo, I renamed the conf file (disabled it) and restarted Saucy.

Dude, this thing came up like a ball_of_fire -- day n' night difference! :)

I still don't know why the OpenGL vendor string said VMware, Inc. or why it changed to Nouveau. By then, I was tired of playing around with it, and I had accomplished what I wanted to do, so I didn't investigate further.

Make sense?!?!?

Nouveau Blacklisted: Super slow and laggy...

Hi Harry,

I've been putting off switching from edgers/raring -> edgers/saucy.

*Thought* about doing it today, but edgers/saucy wants to hold-back pango 1.0 upgrades et al.

I installled the whole gnome-shell stuff up to 3.9.2 on my incrementally upgraded 13.10, switched to GDM of course, it works rather well even though I had to make a few adjustments in gnome-tweak-tool for my liking. Luckily gtt worked in 3.8.2 before I did the last upgrade to 3.9.2, when gnome-tweak-tool became autoremoved but the changes were sticky. Anyway, basically it works, and with a more "stable" feel to it than any other earlier gnome-shell release I've tested. Looks promising, too early to say if it's preferrable to Unity but Nautilus crashes way to often in Unity these days not so in Gnome-Shell ...

Pango doesn't come from the edgers PPA. However...

When I went to upgrade the edgers PPA to saucy, in Synaptic, pango (as you said) wanted to strip my install to the bare metal, and it freaked me out.

I am using the nvidia-319 package from xorg-edgers.
However, I think pango1.0 issues are not due to edgers.
Instead, Gnome3 and Gnome Testing PPA's have different pango1.0 (1.34.1) than saucy's pango1.0 (1.32.5-5).
They depend of different libharfbuzz and that can create problems.

It seems after all it is a good idea to get rid of Gnome3 PPA (raring) and Gnome3 Staging PPA (raring) and thus Gnome Testing PPA too.

Due to mixed dependencies even purging Gnome3 Staging PPA alone is a bit difficult now.
Saucy is using newer harfbuzz than those PPA's, yet the PPA's has got newer pango (depending on older harfbuzz).
So, it is difficult.

For ricotz/experimental a little bit of juggling was needed around totem and gstreamer but I've managed that...
So, I'm left with only ricotz/testing and even attempts to do that by hand from Synaptic are unsuccesfull since I get a bare-metal offers...
I've tried with
sudo aptitude reinstall '?version(ricotz)'/saucy -sbut even that gave me a list for removal bigger than a list of installed files I suppose... ;)
I've even tried with making a list by hand:
dpkg -l |grep ricotz |grep ii... No way... But I'm getting closer... ;)

So, I'm left with only ricotz/testing and even attempts to do that by hand from Synaptic are unsuccesfull since I get a bare-metal offers...
I've tried with
sudo aptitude reinstall '?version(ricotz)'/saucy -sbut even that gave me a list for removal bigger than a list of installed files I suppose... ;)
I've even tried with making a list by hand:
dpkg -l |grep ricotz |grep ii... No way... But I'm getting closer... ;)

Gnome Testing PPA is also quite difficult to disable because a number of sources (like gnome-shell) depends on other package versions in the same PPA,
So, downgrading one of them will usually leave broken dependencies left.
You need to manually install (with dpkg) in console or terminal several packages at the same time.
If you have already disabled all other PPA, why not download all sources there is in the Testing PPA and then install them from your HDD or SDD with dpkg, all at the same time.
If dpkg cannot configure them all, just repeat the same installing command and perhaps use --auto-reconfigure.

Sometimes it might be better to wait for the needed rebuilds which in case of webkitgtk takes quite some time. ;)

Sometimes it might be better to wait for the needed rebuilds which in case of webkitgtk takes quite some time. ;)Just to clarify: I am not trying to turn ricotz/testing off because of broken (at this moment) dependencies but just to test vanilla Saucy... I do appreciate Your work and will be back to Your PPAs on other install without a shed of doubt... If I've got Your message right... ;)
To misuse Your message to ask You following (already asked here): Do we still need Gnome3 PPAs with Your PPAs since Gnome3 (some of them) do not have Saucy branch (really) active...? :popcorn:

They are not strictly needed for *saucy* anymore. Although the systemd-enabled bits from Gnome3 Staging PPA are useful (gdm, g-c-c, g-s-d, gnome-session). Also the Gnome3 PPA has some newer versions too which aren't in saucy yet.

When we can expect Saucy branches?

[...] Gnome3 and Gnome Testing PPA's have different pango1.0 (1.34.1) than saucy's pango1.0 (1.32.5-5).

They depend of different libharfbuzz and that can create problems.

:) I did the bare-metal removal. That went fine through.
Not going back to Gnome3 or Gnome3 Staging before they have a reasonable saucy branch in there.
Most of the raring branch packages in those PPA's are copied from saucy anyway.

Yes, I've forgot to write here... It was cleared just after Ricotz's message here...
I'm back to full G3 and Ricotz involvement and...
Just to emphasize that I did not want to purge G3 and Ricotz's PPAs because of that libpango stuff but I wanted to try vanilla Saucy...
Experiment (even though not completelly experienced) was a success and there was a nice speed improvement while in vanilla Saucy... Still some things to be polished it seems...
But, as I wrote, I'm back now and I do not regret a second...

I did an incremental upgrade earlier, today, but didn't upgrade GDM. Everything went smoothly.

A few minutes ago, I noticed a GDM library was available now also, so I gave them a whirl.

A dialog box asked me if I wanted to accept the new GDM greeter changes, or keep the original.

I accepted the changes -- rebooted -- and everything is working fine... ;)

I just kept attacking it, until it finally went away. Don't know exactly how I fixed the problem -- brute force, I guess.

Broken dependencies here, too...


E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libwayland-client0_1.1.0+git20130418.cfec3aec-0ubuntu1~13.10~ricotz1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libwayland-client.so.0.1.0', which is also in package libwayland0:i386 1.1.0+git20130418.cfec3aec-0ubuntu1~13.10~ricotz0

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libwayland-cursor0_1.1.0+git20130418.cfec3aec-0ubuntu1~13.10~ricotz1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libwayland-cursor.so.0.0.0', which is also in package libwayland0:i386 1.1.0+git20130418.cfec3aec-0ubuntu1~13.10~ricotz0

The package libwayland0 has now been into three packages: libwayland-client0, libwayland-cursor0 and libwayland-server0.
So you should remove the old libwayland0, or better purge it.

[Y]ou should remove the old libwayland0, or better purge it.
Okay, here goes... :)

EDIT

Whoa! It didn't like that. Wanted to do the "bare-metal" thing.

Hope I won't need to reboot today. Saucy is in a sad state, judging by the dependency errors.

Oh, well. Lubuntu DE will probably boot, maybe.

And, I have the good ol' Ubu 10.10 orphan, on another partition, so I won't be stranded.

You need to purge libwayland0.
Also, you need to purge the old weston, which depends on libwayland0.

here is how i've fixed that madness:
- first i've failed to purge the old libwayland and the likes (all ricotz ppas desactivated since a while)
- as there was some ricotz's packages installed when the ppas were activated, i've tried to purge the 2 ppas: both activated into synaptic (each time) and repeated twice the madness due to cross dependencies. Got the most part purged only.
- then clean the system: autoremove, then apt-get -f install : here is the most scary part; i have accepted the removal of half bare-metal (:o ) glancing closely before hitting "Enter" key (no worry: dpkg or apt-get are not removed)
- Thats it, now updating/upgrading can be done: no more broken packages :p
- finally an other autoremove and apt-get -f install later, the system is upgraded back, reinstalling the previous removed apps/libs (check with ubuntu-desktop)

The other way you can choose if you does not mind about the actual broken packages, ignore them untill some updates will land into the saucy archives.

I know that "libwayland-server0" snuck in there, while I was dancing on the keyboard. I can probably remove it.

How about the rest of libwayland et al. :confused:

Are you saying to nuke it all, or just "libwayland0"?

EDIT

Haven't had my first cup of "black magic" yet. I'm brewing a pot, as I type... :)

Looking at the results above, I would *guess* that anything ending in "~ricotz0" should NOT be installed -- thus, only...


"libwayland0: 1.1.0+git20130418.cfec3aec-0ubuntu1~13.10~ricotz0"

...should go away, right?

Is this article for real :confused:


SOURCE: Popular Ubuntu Gnome maintainer Jeremy Bicha steps down (http://2buntu.com/1330/popular-ubuntu-gnome-maintainer-jeremy-bicha-steps-down/)

You know him, you love him, and now, you'll also miss him. Jeremy Bicha, the long-time maintainer of Ubuntu's major Gnome packages, has made the decision to step down. He cites a lack of time (something all of us are feeling the pinch of these days) due to family and other issues.

Despite not being a fan of the recent damage changes to Gnome in the form of Gnome Shell, I did become quite familiar with Jeremy and his work, and I've been amazed at how quickly he's been able to get Gnome's newest packages into a PPA for us bleeding edge lovers to enjoy.

In Jeremy's place, will be Tim Lunn, an avid contributor, and Ubuntu+Gnome member.

I wish them both the best going forward, and look forward to seeing what lays in store for Gnome in Ubuntu in the future.


EDIT

I judge it must be true. Jorge just pointed me toward Jeremy's official blog post...


SOURCE: Moving On (http://jeremy.bicha.net/2013/05/27/moving-on/)

While I had been interested in Debian/Ubuntu packaging for a while, it was the release of GNOME 3 two years ago that gave me the opportunity to get involved significantly. As Ubuntu switched to Unity by default instead of a tweaked GNOME desktop, there was a need for contributors who cared about GNOME to step in and help out.

I’m sad to announce that due to immense personal and family responsibilities, I simply won’t have the time or ability to contribute to the Ubuntu GNOME effort much longer. I get a lot of happiness out of participating in a major open source software project. It is my charity work. I am very pleased that my volunteered computer skills can improve the lives of millions of people.

If you’ve been following the Ubuntu GNOME community, you have no doubt seen Tim Lunn’s work. Tim (darkxst) is an Ubuntu member, a GNOME Foundation member, and a Ubuntu Contributing Developer. He has submitted several fixes to gnome-shell, gdm, and other GNOME components. Tim is the clear choice to take over the Technical Lead role for Ubuntu GNOME.

After our first official release last month, this is a great time to pitch in. We can use additional packagers, testers, and more. The Ubuntu GNOME project is especially in need of help with QA — testing the development releases (and our PPAs) to identify problems, triage incoming bug reports, and certify the releases. Thanks!

:shock:

I judge "GNOME3 Staging" is dead in the water, e.g. this is the beginning_of_the_end for GNOME3 on Ubuntu.


Wow. Seriously. What are you talking about?

Have you seen all the GNOME 3.8 stuff that's landed (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/saucy-changes/2013-May/) in Saucy (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/saucy-changes/2013-June/)? From my perspective, the GNOME team has already pushed more new stuff and improvements this cycle to Ubuntu than any other flavor (besides the Unity team). We basically have the mostly final GNOME Shell in already for this release cycle and it's only been about 7 weeks. Of course, the Ubuntu flavors aren't competing with each other but I'm very skeptical of any suggestions that any of the Ubuntu flavors are dead or nearly so.

It's unclear where you frustration is directed. Rico is still maintaining the Ricotz PPA's for git snapshots. The GNOME development.1 release is usually not very interesting; several of the big features don't really land until as late as .5 or .90. There will be GNOME 3.9.* stuff show up in the GNOME3 Saucy PPA whenever someone (not me this year) gets around to doing it. It's difficult to maintain the several different PPAs with backports and Ubuntu releases (and weird combinations of them) and working with the Ubuntu Desktop Team to not regress Unity while pushing updates for the GNOME desktop. Generally, the remaining missing pieces are because of Ubuntu-specific customizations (or from a different perspective, "GNOME regressions").

Just to pick one example, Nautilus 3.8 hasn't landed in Saucy yet and there are two remaining issues:
1. Concerns about the new Nautilus affecting desktop drawing in Unity (I don't think any developers really care about Metacity). That needs more investigation and testing to find out what specific scenarios work and don't work with Nautilus 3.6 and then with Nautilus 3.8. No one has volunteered to do that.
2. The Ubuntu developers and designers would like for there to be a nice New Document entry (http://pad.lv/1113648) in the right-click menu.

I am not the Ubuntu GNOME project. The project will not be ending this year and if people like you help out, there is no chance of it ending in future years either.

Thank you for your hard work and i agree GNOME still has quite a few followers and Ubuntu currently still is GNOME based distro in my opinion. GNOME will have to rethink some stuff about GnomeShell:

http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Red-Hat-confirms-GNOME-Classic-Mode-for-RHEL-7-1887469.html

Because there are no big players backing it up (stock GnomeShell) ATM anymore and then i think it will become more popular again and if that happens things will get a bit easier again!

The main issue here with 3.8 is that the unity7/compiz & file manager not handling the Desktop compo is not presentable, no good at all
If the 'fix' is coming from the compiz side, well it would be ok when/if it happens.
(with or without Desktop icons though sure many that use a desktop like to have a Desktop to put things on

Otherwise could be easier to keep & if needed fix 3.6 till Ubuntu dumps compiz

Hi Jeremy
I can understand your decision, but i'll miss your enthusiasm and skills.
I respect all Tim's hard work for Ubuntu-Gnome but it will not be the same without your input.

In one of the earlier Ubuntu releases ( I think it was 5.10 or 6.06 ) "Ubuntu" was explained in a video by Nelson Mandela (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HED4h00xPPA)

Respect, helpfulness, sharing, community, caring, trust, unselfishness. and I might add openness.
Mark, please have a good look in the mirror and repeat the words you once build Ubuntu upon.
Then get this project back on tracks.

Fallback? What fallback, there's always the commandline, I should go ;-)

On a more serious note, I stopped using the Gnome3 ppa:s since it got weird beyond repair ie froze the whole box including keyboard which is not everyday. That was an old install with 12.10 as the original base. I've started fresh with the Ubuntu-version of 13.10 from a week ago as base, and use only xorg-edgers, pulseaudo-testing and alsa-testing over standard saucy reps and daily kernels of course. In that incarnation gnome-shell is the most stable gnome-shell I've ever had :-)

I made a few mistakes in this update. If you'll wait a few hours for the packages to publish, you should be able to dist-upgrade without a problem. gnome-session-flashback should replace gnome-session-fallback. If you do not have gnome-session-flashback installed then you won't have the option to log in to the gnome-panel session (which has been renamed GNOME Flashback).

I've already upgraded Ubuntu Gnome to 3.8 (very nice Ubuntu GNOME team and GNOME devs) using the GNOME Team PPA -- but I noticed I'm missing the privacy settings from the system settings dialogue, and there is some bugginess (such as when switching users) that I'm hoping adding the staging PPA will fix. I can't seem to find an Ubuntu bug for the user switching, but I see it for lots of other distros out there, and I haven't looked that hard yet, I'll admit. :-)

So I'm OK with the warning about breakage -- I understand this is a staging PPA. But I want to be sure what I'm getting myself into - will adding this PPA and doing a dist-upgraded be *expected* to break extensions which are working with 3.8 from the Team PPA? Any other huge regressions that are known? I see the note above about waiting a few hours, so I'll definitely wait a bit! ;-)

Thanks all!

For the record, adding the staging PPA did NOT upgrade me to 3.9 -- not sure if that was your implied message or not, but in case anyone else read it that way I wanted to point it out.

It also didn't fix my user switching problem, but made it a more graceful failure (I get thrown back to GDM instead of into a gnome-shell-less session that forces me to reboot from tty.)

It did give me the privacy settings tile though, and likely other improvements that haven't jumped out at me...

How much hacking? Or is it coming along smoothly...
That's sort of a trick question... ;)

The only thing(s) I have to hack, on a regular basis are the extensions; which, themselves, are a hack (of sorts).

Extensions are the glue that holds GNOME3 together IMO. Without them, you might as well run Unity; which is also a GNOME hack. That said, most of the time, all I have to do is hack the json files.

The Dash-To-Dock extension (the dock on the left-side) has to be compiled from source (https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock), every time Ricotz upgrades gnome-shell, but that's no big deal.

I also skin the icons in gnome-tweak-tool, et cetera.

Then, there's the obligatory, unexpected dependency issues, and so forth, and so on.

All_in_all everything has gone smoothly enough. Hasn't been boring...

gnome-shell 3.8.2 with Nautilus 3.6.3 was very stable for me, no issues at all. Now it's gnome-shell 3.8.3 with Nautilus 3.8.2 in the repos and it crashes a lot, also apport have started to freeze the whole machine for minutes while it tries to report the new crashes. A clear regression. I've tried Ricotz gnome-shell 3.9.3 with Nautilus 3.8.2 earlier and it wasn't too stable either. It's seems Nautilus 3.6.3+ is the cause of the gnome-shell crashes, and apport do the freezing ...

Anyway, I''ve started to like gnome-shell a lot, with a skinned icon set it looks and feels more "clean" than Unity. Let's hope the work with packaging accellerates some so it gets more stable and polished. Ubuntu Gnome is the word :-)

Before, for instance, it would notify me that I had (say) 13 messages, but as soon as I moused over the message notification, it disappeared. Now, it's clickable, e.g. the panel actually pops up.

I can't get, too.
Seemed libgnome-desktop3, gnome-settings-daemon, and gnome-control-center were still in progress to do patchworks? If I rollbacked those packages to around 3.9.5, I could kick gnome-shell normally though...

But older gnome-control-center can't be worked yet with gnome-shell 3.9.90 series.

I'm using the ricotz/staging version of gnome-shell currently.

That might be the best idea, for now, unless you enjoy breakage. :)

The 'Tim' upgrades borked my install. Gotta check the logs and see what's going on.

I snuck in via the terminal/keyboard -- one step forward, two steps backwards.

GDM is crashing x.org, so when I boot, I need to shell out, restart the x.org service, then load GS manually.

It seems that 3.9.90 has ushered in a lot of changes, visible & invisible. I'm discovering them one_at_a_time.

It's like tip-toeing through a minefield, at this point. I don't know of any adjustments/tweaks.

I spent hours yesterday (to no avail) trying to get Plymouth/GDM working. Something has fundamentally changed. I still have to shell out, startx, then replace GS once I get to the desktop. Then, I have to turn on the shell extensions, et cetera. It's a lot of work, just getting a new session up n' running.

This morning's upgrades took care of a few problems, like Plank taking up 1/4 of my display. LoL!

Anyway, I *think* we need to be patient, and wait for all of the 3.9.90 upgrades to come dripping in. If I had known it was going to be this way, I would have put off upgrading for another week or two. Too late now!

Personally, I'm past the point of no return. I don't plan on adjusting/tweaking/downgrading anything. I'm just going to wait & see if future upgrades will iron out the problems.

Google'ing for workarounds has been fruitless. I don't think there are many GS3 Staging testers out here. ;)

Haven't seen any issue with using the gnome3 & staging ppa (also experimental for gst, that has a minor one
Started with ubuntu-gnome the upgraded from there, only problem was I didn't upgrade libbluetooth something, that prevented getting a gdm login screen till fixed.

Looking at the 3.90 nautilus - it's, to me, god-awful design. Seems unbalanced, wastes space by truncating the path/location bar, leaving a big space to search button. Then there is the close 'button' which is sitting right on the edge & isn't even a button.
Guess I don't understand design, to me the default, as in screen, looks like a piece of paper I'd crumple up & throw away.

On a positive note, the dnd hover opening the hovered folder seems a bit more delayed in 3.9 compared to 3.8 where I had to disable in one of the 4.5 used places to make usable.

On a neg. note can't stand the way synaptic resets package list after choosing a package, can make for needless scrolling back

Didn't look a keyboard shortcuts much other than ctrl+alt+T didn't work, does so after a simple reset

I do not know if this is the right place to post this, because the problem I experience exists in the gnome3 ppa, not in staging. I have seen other posts here with similar problems:

1. Start Control Centre -> press either "Region and Language" or "Keyboard".
Result:
(gnome-control-center:8771): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys' does not contain a key named 'switch-input-source'
Trace/breakpoint trap
2. Start Control Centre -> press "Brightness and Locking" (or sonething similar - my language is not English).
Result:

Not sure where the first one originates as don't see here using g-c-c 3.9.90.1 from staging.

The 2nd one appeared whenever I re-installed nautilus as I was adjusting the toolbar, it came from 20_ubuntu-gnome-default-settings.gschema.override,
The current in 3.9.90 is just plain "idle-dim" & there is no time setting, just true or false
It did not cause any issues as the key in the .override file was simply ignored

What the ubuntu-gnome maintainers decide to do if no time is reintroduced I've no clue, I don't want any dimming anyway so got rid of the warning/error by editing the .override file to idle-dim = false & recompiling the glib schemas


In your case because you're just using gnome3 ppa can't really say where/what is expecting these apparently non-existent keys, you'd need to track down. (or use the staging ppa with some care..

Everything was going smoothly, for me, until the last brace of 3.9.90 upgrades and additions.

Now, my install is buggier than a Motel 6.

Decided for the moment to go with about this, may alter some margins or some other small details. Likely will use the dark adwaita as the active breadcrumb in a focused naut window is really crap in the default light theme, shading, ect. is wrong.
(- tend to use location more but still didn't like light ver, though the shading in dark version isn't much better, need to look for a new theme I guess, maybe a modified ambiance
Probably will leave up button separate from nav box to gain some space, for whatever reason I like the path/location bar to line up with sidebar & sidebar not to show ... with default bookmarks, ect. (though again theme dependent

gdm & libgdm upgrades came rolling in this morning.

I haven't tried Unity today. Let's see what happens.
Hrm...

Can't see much reason to run unity in a staging ppa install but as Zika mentioned it will run sans the panel indicators

The actual error would be -
/usr/lib/unity/unity-panel-service: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libido3-0.1.so.0: undefined symbol: ubuntu_menu_item_factory_get_type

This is likely from the absence of a ubuntu specific patch to gtk, & or something else changed in gtk-3.9.xx
(defined in ubuntu_gtk_custom_menu_items.patch

USB2. I'm currently running Peppermint on all portables.

Peppermint 4 OS (Lubuntu fork with LXDE DE and Xfwm4 WM) is shockingly fast on USB2.

I've tried many, many, OSs on bootable/persistent USB sticks. Peppermint runs circles around them all.

Decided to take Door #2.

Downgrading libebackend-1.2-6, et cetera, would have stripped my install to bare-bones; apt-get wanted to remove 10's or 100's of core packages.

Wash, rinse, and restyle went well -- survived a cold boot.

Everything boot/loaded fine on Linux 3.12-rc1 mainline kernel / nouveau.

nVidia drivers still need to be patched for Linux 3.12 -- otherwise, all is back to normal.

Thanks!

Heh! The following leaves me scratching my head...

I tweak a few files, every time GS is upgraded -- basically, aesthetic stuff. I change a few things I can't stand to look at, like the butt fugly time/date menu (e.g. digital clock) in the middle of the upper panel.

One of the files I hack is:

/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/workspace-indicator@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com/stylesheet.css


I change the default file from:


.panel-workspace-indicator {
padding: 0 8px;
background-color: rgba(200, 200, 200, .5);
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
}


To:


.panel-workspace-indicator {
padding: 1px 7px;
background-color: rgba(000, 000, 000, .25);
border: .5px solid #aaaaaa;
}


No big deal, right?

The funny thing is, this css file occasionally reverts back to the default code, in between upgrades.

LoL! I don't understand the process taking place here -- never seen anything like it before.

Thanks! Added myself to the bug.

This is a real corker, isn't it?

Last night, just prior to shutting down this machine, my GPU locked up, e.g. nouveau crashed. I was actually closing some apps, prior to shutdown, when the lockup occured.

So, I simply pressed the power button, on the computer case, to power down, and I went to bed.

This morning, when I booted up, the extensions loaded just fine at startup.

Thus, I judge, the startup problem is actually taking place during the shutdown process.

Put another way, since this machine didn't go through a normal shutdown process, the extensions worked just fine at startup.

It's a riddle, wrapped in an enigma... LoL! :D

This would be a good one for Doug -- wish he was running GS Staging.

I've read that USB3 & eSATA external drive performance is indistinguishable from internal drives. UASP would be the frosting_on_the_cake, I suppose. :)

I'll probably just keep running USB2 sticks. I'm partial to SanDisk Cruzers, although I've been known to pick up a handful of no-name USB2 sticks from time_to_time, for 'loaning' to friends.

My only requirement is, USB sticks must have retractable tips -- they're the only ones what survive rugged handling, e.g. carrying them in your pocket and/or dangling from a keychain. ;)

That said, I've never tried GS Staging on a USB stick. Wonder how that would run?!?!?

KDE was a little better outside of heavy apps like browsers, and media apps.

Make sure to mention you are using ppa:ricotz/staging and be aware of that! And yes, I am aware of it. ;)
So if you are using ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3, ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-stating, ppa:ricotz/testing and ppa:ricotz/staging you can assume the stability sinks in this order and the fun increases.

One of the 'related' ppa's I find useful is the experimental for gstreamer, particularly the libav plugin which uses it's own libav rather than shared system libs.
Though it's a bit of a pita to use that ppa because it doesn't build all the gst packages for some reason & continually has a minor overwrite issue on updates

I use an 'older_than_dirt' GTK+ theme: GnomishDark

I hacked the workspace-indictor css file and made it a trans button (documented a couple of posts back).

I still need to get rid of the $#@! clock - that thing is like a virus. Grrr...

Looks like 'they' got rid of the '/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/panel.js' file. That's where I used to squash it.

Matter of fact, I'm going to see where they moved that function, right now.

[...] a few of us had that very problem a while back.
I'm gonna lay_low for a few days. Too many things are in flux right now, e.g. everything is brittle and easily broken.

I'm going to take this opportunity to regroup -- clean the cruft out of my 'sources.list' -- and so forth, and so on -- basically prepare for proper 14.04 LTS testing.

It was fun figuring out the disappearing mouse pointer. I discovered 'unclutter (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unclutter)' in the process.


DESCRIPTION
unclutter removes the cursor image from the screen so that it does not
obstruct the area you are looking at after it has not moved for a given
time. It does not do this if the cursor is in the root window or a
button is down. It tries to ignore jitter (small movements due to
noise) if you have a mouse that twitches.

That's one of the joys of spending four days wracking your brain, trying to figure out a solution, you know?

You discover a lot of things that you wouldn't normally run across... ;)

I shouldn't have been so impetuous -- caused me several days of grief. ;)
Word „wisely“ is one of those words that I could not associate with me at any time in my life. Simply put, life threw some big stones towards my head these days and I'm just too preoccupied escaping them so...


Jury is still out on 'unclutter'. In a way, I like it, but it acts strangely when I'm scrolling with my mouse wheel. Maybe there's a setting that can be tweaked. If not, I'll probably dump it too...I've felt much less clutter without unclutter. So... ;)

Heh! That was a good one!

Took me four days to figure out how to get my pointer back in GS... :D


vindsl@Zuul:~$ dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/cursor/active false

Interesting that you found that plugin to be more of an issue in gnome world than the occasional problems it creates in ubuntu land.
Been an ongoing problem since 13.10 though not all the time -
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1238410
I get rid of the plugin as haven't found what good it does other than this feature which doesn't matter much here

Forensics (if you will) is my favorite part of the +1 experience.

I enjoy watching the community discovering and solving problems and/or coming up with workarounds, et cetera.

You are the best, IMO. You're able to articulate problem(s), reduce it to 'paper' e.g. write out comprehensive bug reports, and effect change. You never fail to amaze...

This 'disappearing mouse pointer', in GS Staging, was particularly vexing for me, because it's almost impossible to navigate with a pointer-less mouse. Actually, I got so embroiled in figuring out how to navigate GS without a mouse, that I wasn't seeing the forest_for_the_trees. It totally broke my concentration.

An epiphany came about, when I focused on the lack of a pointer in GDM. Ultimately, the culprit was a simple plugin setting. Restoring the pointer on the desktop was an unexpected byproduct of fixing GDM -- call it dumb_luck.

I *think* this plugin setting was changed, during a recent upgrade, to accommodate touch screen users -- but, that's just a hunch.

Anyway, I finally got everything up n' running, albeit version 3.8.4-0ubuntu5...

That'll do for now.

After I've licked my wounds, for a few days, I'll jump back into the fray and install GS Staging again. ;)

As I wrote in a thread I've mentioned above, I think more than once, that kind of gymnastics did not work for me at the time I had problems with cursor. You do not have to yell, I am old but I can hear OK... ;)

„!“...:guitar:

my post was not even directed to or at you, as i'm sure you already know.
this will be my last comment on this.
From the Latin, "to call" meaning of keyboard explanation point
One theory of its origin is that it was a Latin exclamation of joy or for additional emphasis.

in forums it is my understanding that this is YELLING or SHOUTING, so if this "!" is yelling i am ignorant(lack of knowledge) to that. Feel free not to respond to any of my posts.:D sorry for being so off topic GNOME3 Staging PPA

Even though I'm still on SS I'm using SS branch of Gnome-Next and Ricotz branches...
Question: Did anybody try to (re)solve gdm waiting (due to libgdm1 not ready to present itself to the world, i.e. dependencies are a bit wrong)? Did anyone try to purge libgdm and then install libgdm1 and gir1.1.2-gdm-1.0. Than would mean to purge also gdm, gnome-shell and gnome-shell-extensions but I'm not sure that I would be able to install them after that (with libdrm1 installed) since I am afraid that they have strict dependency on libdrm... Any ideas?

Booted to saucy today saw your post.
zika I have the same repos or ppa's as you do enabled, only diffrence is I am running 32bit (should be a non factor though)
Took the plunge today and everything went smoothly,

gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.11.2
The same icon & fonts blowouts acured & I only lost topicons on extensions.
Been playing with it for a couple of hours now, No show stopers yet.

Yes, I've exchanged couple of e-mails with Tim and Ricitz and everything went well couple of days ago. Everything is nice now in GS world... At least in SS neighborhood I live in... ;)

You are not yelling. That was an exclamation mark of discovery and sharing. :)

I had noticed that trusty had not upgraded nvidia so i went in and changed my sources list discovered that xedgers was on trusty
so I changed that to "devel" and got updates!:) And also got nvidia-settings back +1.
Still have to change some css sheets because they get overwritten?:confused:
And to change the wallpapers I have to restart my session<Alt+F2> <r> then hit enter.
Cairo-Dock will lockup at times but hey this testing..:D
And of course Extras still not populated yet. All is good though.
If someone would be kind enough to list there source list I would be greatfull;)
Ricotz had suggested enabling with testing a saucy entry, also but I get errors something like expecting "devel" but got "trusty"

Guys,

A couple of days ago, I've added gnome3-staging PPA on my trusty, and so I've experienced a weird thing "Vanishing mouse pointer" on Gnome-Flashback session.. :(

[Machine]
Dell Vostro A90 (famous as Mini9 or Inspiron910)

[GPU]
Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GME x86/MMX/SSE2 (showed in glxinfo)

[Base System]
Trusty daily build states 'up-to-date' just now

[PPA]
ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging

[Details in case]
Once logging into Gnome session (means gnome-shell), I've confirmed that the mouse pointer shows and cntrols normally, but then I go back to GDM, logging into Gnome-Flashback (with metacity) again, I've missed mouse pointer at all...
You know this machine have not any touch-screen device already.

Even though it works pretty good as pointing device only without seeing!! haha.. was it a Joke in 13th Friday!? :P

Anyway we could solve this weird issue with gsettings:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false

Yep I suppose gnome-setting-daemon 3.11.2-0ubuntu1~trusty1 might have some issue with this case, but I haven't track this down yet though...

If someone had similar situations, hope this help you guys.

Best Regards,
Tista

Where can i find a link to gnome3-team information dispersal. They apparently just put gnome 3.10 in the http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3/ubuntu saucy repo and I have 309 updates from them. I didn't know they were going to move 13.10 to gnome 3.10. Thnx
