Does anyone have Gnome Shell up and running? If so, how did you do it?

Hi all!
I've tried installing Gnome Shell via gnome-shell and gnome-shell-git in AUR and the guide over here: http://zazaq.com/2010/04/27/gnome-scree … 0-on-arch/ to no avail. The latter method actually compiles after a few minor tweaks, but after running:
gnome-shell/install/bin/gnome-shell --replace
I am stuck with errors like this:
JS ERROR: !!! Exception was: Error: Requiring GLib, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'GLib' (any version) not found
JS ERROR: !!! lineNumber = '0'
JS ERROR: !!! fileName = 'gjs_throw'
JS ERROR: !!! stack = 'Error("Requiring GLib, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'GLib' (any version) not found")@:0

Window manager warning: Log level 32: Execution of main.js threw exception: Error: Requiring GLib, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'GLib' (any version) not found
Followed by:
Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.
Looking around on the interwebs, the latter error suggests removing xulrunner, which I have done. This actually allows me to start gnome-shell, but the only thing that happens is that mutter kicks in and the window decoration changes slightly but I do not get the actual shell. Having removed xulrunner, I get this error:
(mutter:1063): mutter-WARNING **: Could not load library [/home/korpenkraxar/gnome-shell/install/lib64/mutter/plugins/libgnome-shell.so (libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)]
And now I am stuck. Any ideas or pointers anyone?

I got it running a while back.  (Like, a couple of months ago.  It's now gone, for multiple reasons).  If memory serves me correctly, I just enabled the gnome-unstable repository and downloaded and it worked (it didn't compile properly from AUR for me).  Well, I say "worked".  It was very slow.
Maybe add
[gnome-unstable]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
to pacman.conf if you want to give it a go.
On the subject of gnome shell, has anyone got it to run smoothly?  I have a 1Gb nvidia card, 4Gb ram and dual core 3Ghz cpu and it was totally unusable when I tried it.

  • Hello, I have windows 7, Im getting msvcr80.dll error 7(windows error 126) when I tried to update my itunes. Now it won't open. Does anyone have a remedy? And when I try to uninstall it says that the file cant be found.

    Hello< I have windows 7, I tried to install the new itunes version, last night 1/30/14, Im getting msvcr80.dll error 7 (windows error  126). Does anyone have a remedy for this? When I try to uninstall the ituned program it says it can't be found and to make sure I have permission to uninstall.

    Same problem today. Took five times to reinstall without any error messages. I did the following:
    1) Went to the C:\program files (x86)\iTunes and C:\program files\iTunes folders and moved every file ending in .dll to the desktop (even if two files in same location had the same name, just replaced)
    2) Restarted computer and still got error message
    3) Uninstalled all apple programs possible in the following order......itunes, apples software update, apple mobile device support, bonjour, and apple application support.....all performed using the microsoft control panel
    4) put all the .dll files on the desktop in the trash and emptied (this is a step apple support did not recomment in their posted solutions but for a final try I wanted to delete everything apple).
    5) Restarted computer.
    6) Re-installed itunes from apple website
    No error messages during re-install and was able to open shortcut in one try.

  • Does anyone have a very simplee4 and GEF4 UI-integration example?

    Does anyone have a very simple GEF4 example? I am trying to learn GEF4 without ever having used the prior versions of GEF. I have bought five different books on eclipse plug-ins and RCP. Only one book, "Eclipse Plug-ins third edition" had a chapter on GEF. I read chapter 20 on GEF but it is based on version 3.x. Then I read other pages like this (https://wiki.eclipse.org/GEF/GEF4/MVC/Examples#Logo_Example_.28Standalone.2C_Eclipse_UI.2C_Web.29) and this (http://nyssen.blogspot.de/2015/06/gef4-mission-to-mars-accomplished.html) but they all assume prior GEF knowledge.
    Does anyone have a very simple GEF project example that is a Eclipse4 "Part" with a GEF UI-integration? By simple I am thinking only one "figure", a filled circle for example, with the a supporting Model and Controller (EditPart) that just outputs to the console a message like "The move is over the circle" to the console. All the other examples have a lot more stuff that is making it hard for this newbie to get a grip on the basics of the MVC in GEF4.

    I agree with you that something needs to change.
    I am a long time Macintosh user and Apple fan. I was using iTunes to download video podcasts to my iPod for a while before I realized that the list all buttons list all of the "Featured" podcasts only. I had no idea how much content was out there.
    I also take issue with the listings on iTunes. There is a Tiger Woods podcast that is killing all the other podcasts in terms of popularity. The problem is, it isn't really a podcast. It is simply a commercial that is in iPod format. This hardly deserves the spot in ITMS that it has. It is not updated or new, but it is listed as new and notable. As if Tiger needs more press.
    It seems that the big money podcasts get billing and premiere placement in the store. I hope they give some sort of fair time in the spotlight to podcasts that are regularly updated.

  • Does anyone have corrupt premiere projects and autosave files?

    A Premiere CC project that I have been working on for weeks now is corrupt and will not open.  I get a message "the project appears to be damagaed".  All of the associated autosave files are also now messed up (some are a month old). Everything else on the drive that contains the projects is fine. Even other older Premiere projects are fine.  I open the bad autosave projects in notepad and it is filled with jibberish compared to the other uneffected projects.  Is this a bug or have I been hacked by the recent Adobe securiy issue?  Here is a link to the project file http://adobe.ly/1awiNVO
    All of my autosave files look like this too.  How could all of my auto save files change to this jibberish too?  I could understand if a save to my current project goes to left field, but how do all of my autosaves get corrupted too?
    I have written out large portions of the project to finished movies, but still have a few I will need to start over from scratch if no one has a solution to my problem here.  I would really like to have a chance to go back and re-edit if I see anything I want to touch up in the exported movies I have.  Thank God I at least have what I do otherwise it would be a months worth of work down the tube.   Has anyone else had this issue, or better yet have a fix? 

    Thanks Jon, I was not aware of the new zip files for the project files in CC.  As Ann had confirmed, the project file was actually intact.  I moved all of my assets and the project to another machine and it opened just fine.  I still do not know why the project will not open on the other machine.  Premier will open and start a new project, but I get an error code if I try to open that project.  I did start the project in CS6 and convert it to CC when we upgraded, but a bug there still does not explain why the same project works on one computer but not the other.  I will do a better job of asset management next time I work on that computer just in case:)

  • Does anyone have smartbits 200 drivers and LV code?

    Hi,
    I am new to Smartbits.
    I am trying to get drivers for LV, and preferably some code too.
    Could someone please post some pointers?
    It would be an enormous help.
    Thank you,
    Hillel.

    Hello Hillel,
    I am not aware of an existing instrument driver for SmartBits.  I have written LabVIEW programs in the past to control the SmartBits 200 using SmartLib from Spirent.  Using the functions from SmartLib, you can create automated tests in LabVIEW that are the equivalent of the manual tests you would run from SmartWindow.
    I recommend that you create a set of "wrapper" SubVI's that use the Call Library Function Node to execute the C functions in the DLL from SmartLib.
    Learning this technique is useful, since it can be applied generally to any DLL that uses C calling conventions.
    I hope this helps you get started.
    Regards,
    Chris Norris

    I downloaded FF 23 but inadvertantly from a 3rd party, FF was taken over by something called Dalesearch which apparently is malware, I stripped FF23 out ran my anti malware programme and re downloaded FF23 from the Mozilla site, everything works now but Dalesearch is permanently in my search window but not active.

I can find my way around a computer but am not an expert so please no complicated answers.
    Many thanks Pete30

  • Does anyone have an iphone 5 through straight talk?  How fast is it compared to standard Lte carriers?

    For two years the cost ends up being the same, but since the phone is bought outright it would be cheaper if held longer then 2 years, but if the speed is substantially slower may end up going with verizon or at&t.  Thank you for any input.

    You won't get any LTE support on Straight Talk.

  • TS3694 has anyone had error message code 50? If yes, how did you resolve it?

    Hi there,
    I had restored both my iPhone 4S and iPod touch, and have this error message coming up which is stopping me from downloading purchased music to my pc and devices.

    Mine connects but constantly cuts in and out. It did not do this with the old IOS 6
    Anyone else having this issue?

    By "hard reset" you mean hold down the Home and power buttons until the iOS device restarts, correct?

  • My iPhone 3G will not turn on, but iTunes recognizes it to sync.  Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?  This was a sudden occurance-phone worked without issue before.

    This afternoon I was used my iPhone 3G.  I then put it aside (it was left on) for about an hour.  When I went to use it again, nothing happens.  The home button will not call up the lock screen.  The lock button will not turn the phone on, off, or lock it.  When I plug it into iTunes, it recognizes it to sync.  Also if someone tries to call me it will ring on their end, but nothing on my end. 
    The iPhone is over two years old (purchased in April 2009), so it is out of warranty.  Also, everything is up to date on the iPhone.
    Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be?
    Thank you in advance.
    Shannon

    What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
    If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
    If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

  • Does anyone have a LISTENER heartbeat script

    Instead of reinventing the wheel, does anyone have a heartbeat script that runs on Unix (HP-UX 11.0) and checks the status of the Listener (e.g., if the Listener is down, reload/restart)?? Many thanks in advance....

    This is a very basic script, just written for you on CS3 and totally untested:
    if (app.documents.length == 0){
        alert ("Please open a document, select an object, and try again.");
        exit();
    var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var myPage = myDoc.layoutWindows[0].activePage;
    var myPageId = myPage.id;
    var myDialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"Duplicate pages"});
    with(myDialog.dialogColumns.add()){
        with(borderPanels.add()){
            staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Duplicate front-most page # " + myPage.name});
            var myIntBox = integerEditboxes.add({editValue:1, smallNudge:1, largeNudge:10});
            staticTexts.add({staticLabel:" times"});
    var myResult = myDialog.show();
    if(myResult == true){
        var myNumber = myIntBox.editValue;
        if (myNumber < 1) {
            alert(myNumber + " is invalid number.");
            exit();
        for (i = 0; i < myNumber; i++) {
            myPage.duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER, myDoc.pages.itemByID(myPageId));
    myDialog.destroy();
    It duplicates the active (the front-most page) — its number you see in the bottom left corner of the document window. You can type a number or use up/down arrows to increment it by 1 (add shift key to increment it by 10).
    Hope it helps.

    So you googled, "techno font" and came up with nothing? Hard to believe.

  • Does anyone have a simple code.....

    Does anyone have a simple code to make a xml video like you tube?

    Hi zenith
    By default the source of counter 0 while using the 9401 is located on PFI0 or pin 14.  In order to determine the rest of the pins have a look at the image below.  I was able to get this information from by right clicking my device in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and selecting device pinouts.
    You can also specify which PFI line the counter outputs on.  In order to use this you use a DAQmx Channel Property node and modify the Counter Output Pulse Terminal.  Have a look at the screen shot below 
    Hope this helps.
