Gnome 3 language changed after update

After a recent update, it seems that the language of gnome 3 defaults to Arabic.
Every time I login there is a pop-up that asks me to "Update standard folders to current language?" (The folder listed is ~/Music)
Also, Google chrome defaults to Arabic version of Google in incognito mode, which makes me believe that Google sees something in my computer which I can't see. I have run out of options as to where this changed has occurred. Any ideas?

Thanks. But none of these solve the issue. Issuing "locale -a" returns:
C
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
POSIX
So, there does not seem to be an issue there.
There is a very simple Region & Language section in System Settings in Gnome 3. I had selected English there (there is no OK button ...) There is something else going on.

Language change after update to Lightroom 3.2! Help asked!

I use Lightroom from the first version and love to work with it. I always work with the English version of it - for several reasons - even when my Windows XP version is in Dutch.
By upgrading to Lightroom 3.2 I selected the English language. After the update my version of Lightroom 3.2 however was in Dutch. I tried to change that to English following the help file, but that does not work
This unwanted change gives me a lot of trouble now as I normally import my pictures with a filename in the date-number format. But the date format in the Dutch version is day-month-year, as I however want to use - and used for over 50.000 pictures!!! - the year-month-day format. I had no trouble with it in Lightroom 3.0. My trouble began after updating to Lightroom 3.2.
Can anyone help me here, as I cannot import pictures I made in the right format now!!!

Language Changed after update

I've seen some really competent people in this forum and I decided to submit my problem.
I've just updated my phone software with the nokia utility software but now the language is changed. I can only choose between English, French and German on both menu and writing.
The problem is that I'm Italian, the previous software version was italian and of course I've bought my Nokia 6680 LEGALLY here in Italy (in a "nokia point" by the way).
I can easily manage an english language phone, of course, but some of my friends will have some hard time translating my english, T9-provided short messages.
Phone details:
Model: 6680
Type: RM-36
Code: 0520999
FCC ID: PDNRM-36
Any suggestion?

If you lost the language, it was still an unauthorized/illegal import, as the update updates the phone with those languages that were put on the phone when the phone was manufactured.
In other words, the "nokia point" got that phone from somewhere else than ordering it from Nokia directly (otherwise they would have gotten devices with Italian that retained Italian after using NSU).
You could go back there and ask them to fix the phone, or give you a new one with Italian.

N97 Arabic language lost after updating.....

Hello Everybody.
I will make it simple this time.
I have 'middle east' version of nokia n97 with Arabic language included."I could write in Arabic"
after updating to V22 I couldn't do that any more?
Is it possible to reinstall that language back without Hard resetting my phone ?

farby wrote:
This thread will explain the reason.. Be warned that any Future Firmware Updates / Re-install will again remove this language and you will need to get it installed again thru' Nokia Care...
Future firmware updates will not remove the language after that, if whomever does the flashing also changes the product code to match the new firmware language variant.

[solved] gnome-shell bad looking after update

Hi,
After update (about two weeks ago) my gnome looks bad. You can see this in screenshots. Very large icons and strange rectangles in gnome shell menu on started applications.
Can you help?

Hi
Desktop icons: open Files (nautilus) and change default zoom level for icons from standard to small (preferences - views).
Rectangles: this is how running applications are displayed in the default theme. If those rectangles bother you too much, the easiest way is to change theme. For example, ceti-2 and vertex are already ported to 3.16.
It works. Thanks for help.

Screen brightness not changing after update to windows 10

Hello, After updating to windows 10, I am no longer able to adjust the screen brightness at all. It is stuck on the brightest setting at all times; which is inconvenient when I am on battery power and need it dimmed. The f2 and f3 buttons are not working to adjust the brightness, and I am unable to change it in power/power plan settings. I attempted to search for a possible missing driver that I had maybe lost upon updating, but there are yet no drivers for my product on the HP website for this purpose. Any help on this matter is extremely appreciated, as it is rather frustrating that I can't change my screen brightness. Thanks.

How about using the snipping tool to create an image of what you do see and posting it here. The snipping tool is what I used to create the image that I posted. What version of Windows 10 is installed? I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro on the Omen 15 and have the Enterprise version on one of my desktop systems. I have not yet used the HOme or Education versions, so I do not yet know which features they lack.

Hda and hdb changes after updating

Hello,
i've reinstalled my "main computer" a few weeks ago after using it for a year or so with OpenBSD. The System is an old IBM Server which i got used a year ago.
I've installed archlinux on an SCSI disk which hangs on an onboard-LSI-Controller.
There is also a bit SATA-Disk which hangs on an PCI-addon-SATA-Controller with an SIL chipset.
Yesterday i've updatet my System with pacman -Syu, and shut it down yesterday evening. This morning my system won't boot, fsck said "Bad Superblock" or so on sda3 which contains my / filesystem. After a few tries i found out that sda which was my scsi system disk and sdb which was my "big" sata drive switched the letters, so after changing the letters in the fstab, everything works fine now, but i'm a bit confused, as i had never such an issue after updating before.
Is this perhaps a bug that i should post anywhere? Or have i missed a threat or a news anywhere that announced this behavior?
Thanks a lot!

The advice these days is to use uuids which are unique to each volume to avoid these types of problems. the wiki on fstab tells you how. No idea why you experienced this though.

[SOLVED] GDM/Gnome won't start after update

Today after I run pacman -Suy, GDM/Gnome won't start anymore after reboot. The error message I get after GDM starts is:
Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please contact a system administrator
Does anyone have any idea what happened and how can I recover the system?
Here is the complete log for the update:
http://bpaste.net/show/209520/
Here is the journalctl -u gdm log:
http://sprunge.us/LEOU
Here is tail -2000 /var/log/messages.log:
http://sprunge.us/ObWY
And here is the /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
http://bpaste.net/show/209549/
I can't imagine any other log file that might help figure out what happened, let me know if there's anything else.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: I stopped gdm, created a ~/.xinitrc and could successfully start Gnome with startx. The problem remains with GDM.
Edit: The last update solved my problem: http://sprunge.us/RKWA

I'm not sure my issue is really the same one, but am hoping for some guidance here if possible. Trying to start GDM gives me the same error message/screen. After tdm fails I can switch to a console,
sudo systemctl stop gdm.service
then
sudo systemctl start lightdm.service
and lightdm starts fine. However, trying to log in to gnome-session gives me the very same error as I had with GDM. I can log into XFCE just fine. Attempting to start gnome-ession via startx also gives me the error screen. Does anyone know how I can diagnose the problem? Thanks,

IPod Touch name change after updating to 3.1.1

After upgrading from 3.0 to 3.0.1 itunes changed the name oftouch the touch. Why, and is there a way I can change it back?

I experienced the same bug. What is double irritating is that after restoring the name of the iPod, backup in iTunes was starting from scratch, invoking an entire fresh and very long backup of the iPod.
The 3.1.1 update process was for me the most bug-ridden update yet (and I'm updated from 3.x).

Gnome won't start after update

Hey, so after I've updated gnome to 3.14 it refuses to start. The moment I get past the login screen (that works - I use lightdm), gnome will just tell me that "something has gone wrong" and it won't launch the session. For the past two hours or so I've been trying to identify the issue with no good results. What I think might be relevant is that I use the catalyst driver and also this part of journalctl -e /usr/bin/gnome-shell:

Same problem here, and I think that it's all Catalyst fault.
Many people are reporting GNOME 3.14 / Catalyst compatibility issue in AMD Bar & Grill thread (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57084&p=272) and I totally agree with Vi0l0 (unofficial Catalyst packages maintainer):
Vi0l0 wrote:As for the GNOME 3.14 - wish I have more time to look at this closer, I catched problems with GNOME latelly (but before 3.14) - it started to crash before start - I spent not much time on it, but didn't find solution. Fixing it is not that important for me right now, since im planning to install arch on btrfs 2xSSD smile. Its just the time... Wish I had some kind of clone of myself with shared awareness tongue.
But anyhow I think that GNOME 3.14 support could be real problem atm (at least with unmodified gnome packages), afaik 3.14 is really close to wayland and catalyst doesn't even have egl.
EDIT: if confirmed seems to be a display manager issue:

Wallpaper Won't Change After Update to 10.5.8

My brand new MacBook Pro is having a problem. I am a total newbie, this is my first Mac ever.
I installed the update for Mac OSX 10.5.8 using the software update. After this, my desktop background is a plain blue screen. It will not change to any picture from the blue background screen. When I select a picture, it looks like it is applying the picture the background but the picture shown on the desktop does not change. Prior to the update, it was a picture I had taken.
Please help! I searched for answers, but I did not find anything. Please be detailed in your answers as I don't know this operating system yet.

Sounds like a hosed installation. Restore the bootable backup/clone you make of your system before installing the update. Don't have one? Then, restore your Time Machine backup. Don't have one of those either? Tsk, tsk. Get a bootable, external HD, and make a bootable backup/clone before updating. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall everything. Then, peruse these

and adopt the necessary habits to mitigate what happened to you.
On to your issue if you don't have any backup/clone to restore. Download and install the 10.5.8 COMBO update, repair permissions, and try resetting the Desktop picture (no wallpaper on Macs, that's a windoze thingy).

Sharing changed after update

I just updated to Yosemite and now, when I am at my PC and attempt to access files from my mac, it is prompting for a username and password. I put in the only ones I use. The computer name and my password. It didn't do this prior to the update. What password would it be asing for? My apple ID? I do not use a password to get into the computer and the one i use when prompted for updates isn't working . What changed? And where do I find my computer info (name, etc)

How exactly does the network settings need to be set to be able to share? I was able to, no problem before the update. I even have to enter my wifi password every time I wake the computer,after the update! What would my credentials be? When, while on the mac would I be asked to enter those, so I know what to enter. I am for sure using the only two things it could be.
No one else has ever had this issue?
