Gnome-unstable stirs once more!

http://mirror.us.leaseweb.net/archlinux … os/x86_64/
Not ready for primetime, but things are building
On a related note, why doesn't Arch have an AUR package group for building all of gnome? Something like the ricotz PPAs for Ubuntu

Seems like a great release. I only have some strange lines in gnome-control-center.

There are also some lines in the navigation bar on the left of nautilus.
I built evince 3.13.91 myself and finally can close it when maximized thanks to the CSD.
The problem with the line could be a theme issue. Switch to the default theme to see if the problem persists.
Yes it was a theme issue. Could have thought of this myself..... ;-)
Looks like Greybird GTK 3.12 mostly works with Gnome 3.14, though.
Only gnometweaktool looks very strange with greybird.

GNOME 3.2 beta2 available in gnome-unstable

As promised multiple times on forums, GNOME 3.2 beta2 was just released and guess what? We got it! Shinier and full of new features, noticeable are gdm’s brand new look, gnome-online-accounts, gnome-contacts, gnome-documents, epiphany web application support, new user menu and better chat integration. Along with that, nautilus received a new file previewer named sushi, feature that I like the most.
To use this new version you need to enable gnome-unstable repository, as top repository to pacman.conf:
[gnome-unstable]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Have fun testing these packages. Like always packaging bugs should be reported on our bugtracker, anything else considered bugs should be reported to GNOME bugzilla.
NVIDIA users be aware that xorg-server 1.11 from testing is incompatible with the current nvidia driver, even with IgnoreABI. You can switch to nouveau or add xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-synaptics xorg-server-common xorg-server to Ignorepkg.

ilike wrote:Good news, but if you don't want to see sushi in action, I don't think it's worth upgrading on a "running system" yet. The new GDM seems to be buggy (and the shutdown/restart option is missing there now)
know upstream bug
and the online account-feature (Google-Account integration with calendar, gnome-contacts, gnome-documents) didn't work for me.
know bug. for now you need to start at least once evolution to work
I also noticed that there's a problem with a Python3/PyGI-Script I wrote now:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pptool.py", line 15, in <module>
from gi.repository import Gtk, Gdk, Pango, GObject
(pacman -S extra/py3gobject extra/gobject-introspection fixed that)
that is not a proper fix. now you might have a broken gnome 3.2 because is a gobject-introspection 1.29.17 it's a hard dependency.
maybe you should fix try to fix your code to work with python-gobject 2.90.3 (be aware that it cannot be installed right now along with python2-gobject 2.90.3 because of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658174 )

Gnome unstable repository

GNOME 2.27.91 packages have been uploaded to the Archlinux FTP. To use this repository, you should add this as top repository to pacman.conf:
[gnome-unstable]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
The packages in the repository have been built in a chroot with testing enabled. Dependencies are mostly versioned.
Note that packaging GNOME 2.27.x isn't completely done yet. Some things:
- gmime has been updated to 2.4, which is incompatible to 2.2. Expect some existing packages to break
- gdm, gnome-games, gnome-user-share, gnome-user-docs are not updated yet. These will follow shortly
- gnome-bluetooth should be packaged to replace bluez-gnome
- update most packages to 2.27.92
- maybe fiddle around with pulseaudio
- x86_64 packages
Have fun testing these packages. So far they've been working fine on my i686 laptop, so there shouldn't be much problems using these packages.

Once I started up Gnome 2.27, I found the following:
File Management from the System > Preferences menu crashed (Nautilus), and was reported by Bug Buddy. Nautilus started from the Places menu works fine. EDIT: it's actually nautilus-file-management-properties that's crashing.
The Battery icon in the notification area is blank, but the tooltip is working. I have the preferences set to always display an icon.
The system beep is silent. The beep program still produces sound, however.
When I start Tomboy Notes, the icon in the notification area is the Firestarter icon. When i quit Tomboy, the extra Firestarter icon moves over to the empty space where the Battery icon should be. Any program I start that puts an icon in the notification area uses a Firestarter icon.
Inkscape needs to be recompiled due to the libpoppler upgrade. Bug report to follow (if I remember).

Why does FF4 start to download an image once more which is already on screen when trying to save this image?

I look at a picture from a photo-site - size 11 MB. I decide to save this picture > right click > save image as.. The download window opens and FF downloads the picture once more which is already somewhere in FF's cache or memory.. I can see that data comes from the internet and not from a local place on my computer and the process can be rather slow, when the remote server is slow.. I find this as a waste of bandwidth.. Is it possible to avoid this behaviour?

You can look at this extension:

[gnome-unstable] ibus doesnt work

The new intergrated ibus in gnome-shell (which is one of my favorite features of 3.6) doesnt work. I can add the ibus keyboard (ibus-pinyin or Chinese (Pinyin)) in the system settings, but the settings opiton is grayed out (even though I know it has them), and when I switch to it and type all that comes out is qwerty (my default layout is dvorak)
this is relevant entries from my .cache/gdm/session.log

ibus-anthy from the community repo doesn't work with ibus from gnome-unstable, either.
i copied some ibus PKGBUILD files from the aur and changed them to use the new ibus/anthy 1.4.99.20121006 from http://code.google.com/p/ibus:

seems to works fine now (using gnome 3.6 btw).

I've had to reset my laptop to factory settings a few times recently and now I realise that i have auth'd my iphone to my laptop 4 times now (i can only do this once more). Is there anyway of de-authing my laptop without being having access to itunes?

Without access, you're gonna have to wait until you reach the 5 authorized computer limit, then you can de-authorize all.

Just restored to 3. Because once more I lost all my ReminderFox data during the upgrade. Not listed under tools . note to say not compatible with version 9. When will it be OK to upgrade to version 9 AND keep reminderfox intact?

Firstly, what do I have to do so that, when I upgrade FireFox, there is a restore point set? Do this manually? If so, alter your install procedure - a message to say - set a restore point now, because it won't be set automatically.
once more, after upgrading, my ReminderFox is gone. How can you do this? Offer something so good that becomes so important and then we lose it when we upgrade. I have installed 3.6 and my reminders are back! PLEASE let us know when you are releasing an upgrade that is compatible with ReminderFox

GNOME-Shell in Testing/gnome-unstable

I think there have to be some binary packages in testing/gnome-unstable. This mess on AUR is the hell with GNOME-Shell atm (07.10.09 15:30:17) it does not compile in any way.
i think when a git version is compiling and running the maintainer should package some binarys and put it into gnome-unstable or testing. Beceause it can happen that 5 minutes later nothings compiles anymore

I've also managed to build gnome-shell from git but am unable to runn the shell.
Here's the output:

Gnome unstable repo?

Yeah, I know it is huge. Recent changes over Gnome are BIG and very useful but AUR PKGBUILD's are very underdeveloped and it is impossible to build new Gnome Shell. Can someone make Gnome unstable repo? I'm pretty sure that lots of people are waiting for this.

Gnome-unstable: gnome 3.7.90

Hi there!!
Is there any news about an update of gnome-unstable repo?? gnome 3.7.90 is out.
I'd know if we'll see this beta or if we have to wait 3.7.98 version..

pushakk wrote:I can't reproduce the window freeze just now, maybe some package upgrade solve this issue. However the incomplete menu happens yet and I think the whole empathy app is bloated someway, it's slower than other gnome apps for draw the window, move it, etc ... maybe it's just my impression.
Empathy runs like a champ here...seems very light and quick, loads faster than ever.

Infinity nightmares once more

And so i find myself looking for help once more on these forums.
Ever regret taking up the offer of an apparently better infinity experience by getting in touch with kelly communications for the modem refresh?
Since then i have seen my infinity speed drop from 22 meg ( it was 15meg not the 35 implied pre install on day 1 and after 4 -5 callouts i gave up and accepted 22 meg). Have to say Chris the Mod from here really went out of his way to help me.
Since Kelly communication came and changed modem my speed has dropped and where previously speedtest.net showed constantly the same results it is so sporadic now - one minute its 9 meg then its 18 meg then 14 meg or 16 meg - you get the picture!!!
I wonder was it due to the modem being off while it was being switched has caused the system to think there was a line speed and mess things up?
So being an idiot i thought oh lets upgrade to infinity 2 the idea of surely a better speed was worth restarting my contract? Sadly today was my live day and it has proved to not be the case. Im getting even slower speeds than before ranging from 9-14meg! Btlinetest says 13 meg - funnily enough just slightly above the 12.8 they consider to be an issue ??? Did it not used to be 15meg?
Yes i appreciate it is a 10 day window for learning but something is wrong when you end up with a slower speed and a ping in the 40-50s.
I have tried resetting the hub, made no difference. Im scared to touch the modem in case rebooting it makes things worse - ie system thnks there is a line fault.
Any ideas?

Hi
You could try turning the vdsl modem off and on once to see if it helps ( the only way you could trip the dlm is if you sit there and reset the modem a lot off times).
There could be a fault on your line resulting in low speeds, to be fair I would consider 13 meg down to be a bit off an issue.
I guess you have a choice you could reset the vdsl modem once and leave it on for up to 3 weeks to see if your speed recovers ( assuming the dlm has reduced your speed due to a possible fault).
Or you could get back in contact with the forum team and discuss your current issues with them to see if they can help you.
Hope it gets better for you soon

Gnome 2.31 in gnome-unstable

Hello,
I hope this is also the right forum for the gnome-unstable repository.
Are there any plans, when Gnome 2.31 comes to gnome-unstable. Since Thursday 10th Gnome 2.31.3 is released and before the release of Gnome 2.30 there was Gnome 2.29 in the gnome-unstable repo.
Thanks in advance

I found several issues now
1) gnome-applets needs as dependency python-gnomeapplet
2) sound juicer can't start 'cause
sound-juicer: error while loading shared libraries: libbrasero-media.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
and brasero package has no file like this
3) empathy can't edit accounts
(empathy-accounts:32596): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "svg",
(empathy-accounts:32596): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "svg",
(empathy-accounts:32600): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "svg",
(empathy-accounts:32600): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "svg",
so I am not sure if working fine is good sentence

GNOME 2.31 should been in gnome-unstable

Gnome 2.31 should hit gnome-unstable for long time. There are pretty much stable by the now, and also *many* bzr aur packages depends on 2.31 libraries. Please compile 2.31 for Arch. I could help with it, but its too much work for only one person. Im desperate for it, because i cannot continue my Ayatana backporting efforts without it.

wonder: exacly, but that isnt good. Gnome development is different of KDE development, where this type of maintaing repo is very good. In Gnome, 2.31.x versions arent some thing as 2.32 alphas, but are pretty much stable and usable versions which add new features to enviroment.
For example, Wine or Battle Of Wesnoth have exacly same development models as GNOME, and there are odd versions of them in stable repositories.
Also many peoples use 2.31.x in other distributions already, and there is *many* software which already depends on 2.31.x - Arch Linux users cannot use them now.
I also mentioned this topic in my blog: http://dinthsblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/ … oject.html

[SOLVED] Kill the Gnome screen curtain once and for all

Author edit: you can see the fix that finally worked in post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 4#p1351594
I was inadvertently locked out of my own computer for about 10 minutes until I happened to stumble on the "Ctl + L" trick to bring up the login in screen. How can I remove or disable the gnome shell screen lock for good.
I already tried:
setting the "screen lock" to OFF under gnome setting > Privacy (gnome 3.10 appears to ignore this, or "screen lock" refers to something else)
the Disable Screen Shield extension - this has not been updated to gnome 3.10
Last edited by marko2010 (2013-11-19 18:04:06)

I think I finally found a way to disable the inactivity curtain in gnome 3.10. Launch dconf-editor then drill down org > gnome > desktop> session. Find the key for idle-delay and change it's value to 0 .
Or you can do it in once step by running the command:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0
Note you would think that going into the gnome control center and moving Privacy > Screen Lock to "OFF" would completely disable the screen curtain, but this never worked for me. The curtain would still come up after periods of inactivity, but would no longer ask for a password. Adding the fix above, completely gets rid of this pesky thing.

Gnome-unstable stirs once more!
