[SOLVED] cyclic dependancies with gnome

When i run
pacman -Syu
it says that mozilla conflicts with mozilla-firefox and asks if I want to remove it. So I say yes. It then starts downloading about 50 packages which takes about 15 mins. No problems.
Then however, i get a message saying that it can't remove mozilla because evolution-data-server relies on it. Fair enough. I don't use evolution, so i try to do:
[root@nazgul gautam]# pacman -R evolution-data-server
error: this will break the following dependencies:
evolution-data-server: is required by gnome-panel
Which is wierd, coz I don't see why gnome-panel would need this. Anyways, I try:
[root@nazgul gautam]# pacman -R gnome-panel
error: this will break the following dependencies:
gnome-panel: is required by gnome-applets
gnome-panel: is required by gnome-netstatus
gnome-panel: is required by gnome-utils
gnome-panel: is required by libgail-gnome
gnome-panel: is required by gnome-python-extras
now, I need those packages coz I use gnome a lot.
So my problem is: I wanna update my whole system but I can't!!! Any ideas guys?[/code]

Yep. Thanks guys. All fixed.
Here's what I did:
pacman -Sy mozilla
pacman -Suy
Basically I had to upgrade mozilla first. With the upgrade the un-needed dependancies are removed. Phew!
And now, to delete mozilla altogether ... 8)

[SOLVED] Conky troubles with Gnome

I don't know if I am making some obvious, easily correctable mistake, or if this is a known bug. I have looked on the wiki and all I could find about Conky on Gnome was a short little thing that caused this problem:

Has anyone else discovered a way to make conky work transparently with Gnome as a DE?
Thanks for the help!

Thats because you keep exhibiting the same behaviours, despite being asked not to.
I'll link you (again) to the Forum Etiquette. Please read all of it.
Don't expect that help vampirism will be tolerated here, it won't.
I'll also remind you of the Arch Way
This user-centric design necessarily implies a certain "do-it-yourself" approach to using the Arch distribution. Rather than pursuing assistance or requesting a new feature to be implemented by developers, Arch Linux users have a tendency to solve problems themselves and generously share the results with the community and development team – a "do first, then ask" philosophy.

[SOLVED] DWM running with gnome difficulties - cracked leaving GNOME!

UPDATE: concept as a perceived requirement has been scrubed. No longer needing Gnome's environment ... just some gtk/gnome libraries here and there though, obviously. See last post of mine here if ya like and you're rushed a bit.
Having problems getting gnome to live with DWM though I can compile myself as i just learned how from the wiki.
OBJECTIVE: retain at least the bottom menu bar of gnome (and program access) for a while yet .... while using DWM.
Hi... having the most amazing time with Xmonad, awesome, stumpwm, dmenu etc.
At this point I've realized that Xmonad and DWM have basically the same keybinding.
For how it work WELL, as it's an originator, and keeping it simple ummm.... was it 18k or 180k? hehehe (see other posts about dwm) I'm going to go with dwm for the forseeable future. they're all great though having done the studying it's really a simple decision.... If I wanted to swap to something else later I'd have the skill to know how simple that would be... dwm does cover ALL of what I sensibly need to work quickly and SIMPLY/manageably...
DUE TO UPDATE COMMENT AT TOP - SOME OF THE NEXT COUPLE OF POST IS REDUNDANT a BIT though maybe not:
So... I'm wishing to be able to access my folders and programs through the gnome menu as a fail-safe until I figure out how to get around any gottcha before I reinstall WITHOUT gnome (just some of the libraries obviously for packages that need them)
I really need to get going immediately with DWM and having had lots of fun with Xmonad (works easily with gnome though i like the simplicity of default DWM) ...
ALL I really need is what I now have left of gnome's desktop visibility which is the bottom bar with a menu applet embeded in it...
Actually.... IF there's a way to GRAPHICALLY see folders ie. boot programs without having to find the binary though would be cool.
Gnome can do it's thing in the background.... though right now ALL I can get by adding DWM WITH metacity in the gnome sessions properties leaves me WITHOUT the bootom bar that gets me to my programs...
yep, duh.
any assistance apreciated as I can't stand working without dwm (or similar tiling wm) though I'm too new at it and generally not skilled enough at this move to get to my program's ICONS... using dmenu for all booting just isn't practical for me today.. then again who knows what the next hour will bring! hehehe
So..... ANYONE have DWM code that'll work??? .... I think I'd prefer it to be stock otherwise...
whatver happens thanks and everything's so cool.... have learned SO much....

well as i remember, my own path was something like this...
Windozes -> PCLinuxOS -> (K-X)Ubuntu -> Arch(XFCE4(desktop environment)) -> Arch(Fluxbox(no DE)) -> Arch(wmii+gnu/screen) -> Arch(dwm+gnu/screen)
not talking about GNU/screen its like not talking about breathing to me right now at the beggining (like all i pass throught in GNU/linux) i can barely understand something "as complex" to understand like screen, but using it, showed me that EVERYTHING is a matter of understanding throught direct experience
so i'll recommend to you that you start looking to gnu/screen, is so damn easy to configure/use once you understand it, but difficult when you start reading about it, like dwm is in first place
what i do for file assosiations and such is using midnight commander (cli-file manager) and i edited a menu (F2 on a dir/file) and it popups showing the list of apps that i configured to open that file extension, i configured tuxcmd in the past but i didnt used it for months now...
here's the ~/.mc/menu i did... (i use urxvt as a daemon starting "urxvtd -q -f -o &" in .xinit, you may change "urxvtc" with your terminal emulator of choice... (i hope it will be urxvt(c) and not something like gnome-terminal )

[Solved] Pulse Audio won't work on newly installed system with Gnome

About a year ago I got a new computer and more or less retired my old one with my first arch install. Recently, I decided I would set it up as a Linux system for my sister. I first updated the computer, which broke it royally (since it was last updated before the /bin symlinking happened) but I eventually got it fixed. However, after doing that, Pulse Audio wouldn't work, then I broke X and decided to do a full reinstall.
Now, on this clean install, Pulse is again not working. I have set up Gnome and gdm to work, and everything works great except Pulse. The wiki says that Pulse with Gnome 3 requires no extra setup, so I have not edited conf files at all. I have, however, installed "pulseaudio-alsa", which created this conf file:
# Use PulseAudio by default
pcm.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
hint {
show on
description "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)"
ctl.!default {
type pulse
fallback "sysdefault"
# vim:set ft=alsaconf:
which seems fairly standard. Anyway, I tried removing it and had the same problems. When I have Pulse Audio running and try to play sound, I get the error:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1022:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
which is obviously trying for ALSA, or from mplayer:
AO: [pulse] Init failed: Connection refused
Running "pacmd list" nets me:
Daemon not responding.
and pavucontrol gives me:
Fatal Error: Unable to connect to PulseAudio: OK
when I try to start it.
No pulseaudio commands seem to work (e.g. pulseaudio -k). They don't raise any errors, but also it doesn't have any effect on the server.
The only asound conf file is "/etc/asound.conf", clearing ~/.config/pulse does not fix the issue.
Journalctl does not seem to give anything interesting (Stale PID is the only message when starting Pulse), though admittedly I'm just vgrepping all of journalctl since I don't know how to narrow it down more, nor does the output from pulseaudio -vvvv. There are a lot of errors in pulseaudio -vvvv, but they all appear to be related to loading devices that don't exist, and so I assume not a problem, I can post it if necessary. Sometimes when I kill Pulse the process refuses to go away and I have to reboot in order to clear the process out, but I don't think that's related.
If I kill Pulse or keep it from starting on boot, I can play sound, but only through ALSA, and while I didn't have the problem I expected (I can still play multiple things simultaneously) there's still the issue that the volume buttons in Gnome will no longer work and that the volume levels ALSA reports are basically nonsense to a human being.
I basically just blurbed everything I thought of/found on the wiki or forums, and I'm not really sure where to go from here. It's a fairly old computer, so that could be related, and I'd be willing to dump Pulse if Gnome could integrate well with ALSA, but obviously fixing Pulse would be the preferred option.
Any suggestions on where to look next? I've run out of ideas.
Thanks.

Wonder if you have a conflict between two audio cards ... for example, I have a friend with some PulseAudio problems caused by conflict between the HDMI audio from his graphics card and his onboard sound. Something would switch PulseAudio to the wrong card and it would just quit after getting itself into a twist. Unsolved, I'm afraid, but have a look at commands such as:
aplay -l
pactl list sinks
pactl stat
(Latter two will need PulseAudio coaxed into life first)
and of course, the Arch wiki.
If there is a conflict, blacklisting kernel modules might also be needed.

[solved]Garbled screen with QT apps in Xfce/Gnome

After a big upgrade a few days ago I get a garbled screen whenever I focus a window with a Qt app in Xfce, like VLC or VirtualBox. If I focus (by clicking on titlebar/ or select from taskbar) a non-Qt app the screen returns to normal. I could not capture the screen corruption with scrot so I used a very crappy cam:
normal:
garbled:
I see no error messages in Xorg.0.log (or any other log). I don't know which configs /packages are relevant to post here.
update 1:
Someone with Gnome seems to have the same problem
update 2:
After restarting X VLC works without the problem, but when I start VirtualBox (archlinuxfr/virtualbox_bin 3.0.2-2) the problem reappears for both VirtualBox and VLC.
update 3:
Compositing seems to be involved. If I turn it off the problem disappears, not a real solution, but at least I can use my apps.
xorg.conf
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "0"
EndSection
update 4:
Workaround is to downgrade both libgl and ati-dri to version 7.4.4-1 .
(see: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade_packages)

I have an ATI 1200 and am using the same driver. I wonder if it has something to do with it? Or perhaps the latest X updates? I'm going to try downgrading.

Might be an idea, but there are so many packages involved that could be the cause. B.t.w. I tried the aur/x86-video-radeonhd-git driver but that didn't help.
These were the upgrades after which the problem appeared. There are some packages that obviously have nothing to do with xorg but it must be one of these:

[Kinda solved] "Oh no! Something has gone wrong." with gnome-fallback

After some upgrades today, I got with an unusable gnome. On every startx it failed with the window "Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occured and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again." (forcing you to close the session, just to reappear on restart)
After ~6 hours on this, and downgrading several packages to no avail, I discovered that the file /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-fallback.session had been removed.
As I use gnome-fallback, the dconf key “org.gnome.desktop.session” contains “gnome-fallback”, and that apparently requires such file to exist
If you need to change the key with command-line:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session session-name gnome-fallback
I finally got a working system by copying /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome.session to /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-fallback.session and changing -use a text editor- its line "RequiredComponents=gnome-shell;gnome-settings-daemon;" to "RequiredComponents=metacity;gnome-settings-daemon;gnome-panel"
I hope this serves others to fix this issue.
I still miss the upper applet bar (although perhaps due to uninstalling then reinstalling gnome-panel), and key shortcuts (such as Alt-tab) are not working, but most functionality is there.
If you end up at a desktop with no menus, a way to work is to make in the desktop a symlink to /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.

I apologize for my post above....it's misleading. The bug in question is regarding a similar failure with gnome, but involving the standard session, not fallback. The fallback issue may be one of deprecation, I've read that gnome was no longer supporting it as software rendering was considered 'good enough'.
So if you are having the issue described in the OP you may want to file a separate bug. I posted my bug here as a result of a quick skim of the post and replies to it. After re-reading it, I see they are separate issues.

[SOLVED] Totem missing settings on 64 Arch with Gnome 3.6

Hi all,
after clean install Arch 64 with Gnome 3.6.2 I cant find settings in default video player Totem to set my subtitles encoding (East Europe - Windows 1250).
Can anybody tell me, how or where can I set subtitles encoding in new version of Totem?
Thank you!

[solved] Arch with GNOME 2?

Hi everyone,
I'm a new Arch user, have been using Ubuntu for about two years now and decided this morning to give Arch a try; the install wasn't too bad, the only ultimate problem was GNOME 3... I'm hoping somebody here can tell me if there's a way to install Arch from scratch with GNOME 2 and Compiz instead of GNOME 3? I ended up removing G3 and I'm now using KDE, which is also not what I want, but certainly a million times better than G3.
I had a quick look around, and it's clear that I'm not the only one who hates G3, the old threads on this forum regarding a downgrade are pointing to a lot of empty links, hence my new thread on the matter.
I understand that it's faster to use G3 and so-on, but really it looks like it was built for people who haven't got a clue how to use a PC, and if I wanted that sort of "simplicity" then I would have brought a Mac. I absolutely DESPISE GNOME 3 and I'm really sorry if that has offended anyone.
All I want is the simple, minimal interface that I had with G2, with the cute little foot in the top left corner, my customised menus and the basic window effects; that's it. I don't want Duplo-sized icons, I don't want fancy effects and I don't want the 0.0001 seconds of speed difference or extra security and reliability, because I'd rather my PC burst into flames from some G2 bug than I ever use G3 to do my computing.

That's hilarious! lol.
G3 is actually pretty good. If you don't like gnome-shell - then simply don't use it. Compiz works really well in G3 ( i am using the latest version 0.9.5, compiled yesterday from source). you can customize gnome3 menus, much in the same way as Gnome2. However, the menus are fairly slow, when i compare them to my gtk2-menu - which had zero-delay in opening. I've actually removed gnome-panel and replaced it with other tools, as i found gnome-panel to be a bit lame in G3.....you may not mind it though.
anyways, I wouldn't be too worried about running G3 - a lot of people are in a scramble because they aren't interested in the shell. but the shell isn't a requirement. I think the developers would just prefer that everybody uses GS. while there was talk of not having it supported in the future, i doubt that will happen ~ as we all know Canonical will be porting Unity to run on top of the gnome 3 stack. (right now it uses gnome2). So i tend to think we should be able to run fallback, for a long time
it just might take some extra-tweaking, to get it the way you want your desktop to be. I'm now actually liking it better than gnome2, myself. but it did take a bit of adjustment, but "under the hood" - gnome 3 has some nice features and improvements ove G2...
theming isn't too difficult either - so if you don't like fat menus/giant icons... then, you can use a theme that doesn't have that - or edit your theme instead. (i sort of did both). I'm actually working on a nice dark theme, that has gtk2 style window-decorations (narrow/thin), slim menus and some other goodies. Gtk3 - looks really great too!

No screen lock with gnome 3

Hello guys
My major problem with gnome 3 is that I'm unable to lock my screen.
I tried every possible alternative such as locking after suspend via pm-suspend, the gnome-menu or closing the lid.
Even lock screen via the gnome-menu doesn't work.
Furthermore I changed my dconf and gconf multiple times ( especially the lock-use-screensaver setting) and tried every solution posted in the web. But nothing solved my problem.
I also tested using GDM in stead of SLIM ( which I prefer ) but this solved my problem neither.
My laptop is an Acer Aspire 3820TG Timeline X running the newest kernel ( 3.0 ) and Gnome 3.0.2.
If you need more information don't hesitate to ask!

I'm not sure what is "ridiculous".
When on a call using the iPhone's earpiece - holding the iPhone up to your ear and face during a call, the iPhone includes a proximity sensor to automatically turn the screen off or lock the screen when doing so - there is no need to press the sleep/wake button while holding the iPhone up to your ear and face during a call. When pulling the iPhone away from your ear and face during a call to look at the screen and to use the iPhone for something else during the call or to hang up the call, etc., the screen turns back on. This is done automatically.

Problems with GNOME After The Last Upgrade

I have too many problems these days with my Arch box.. And I don't know when or how these problems are solved but I'm really bored about having problem all the time. I don't know all of these are bugs but if they're I'm ready to enter some bug reports.
1) After the last update, Metacity doesn't start automatically. So everytime, I don't have my mouse theme, my thema of borders of the windows, the notes I took with gnome's note applet doesn't disappear.
2) gnome-power-manager is never the same that I used to.. I just found that killing and rerunning it is at least make it work. But it's menus and options is not rich as I was earlier times. It doesn't say that much as it did in the earlier times.

I've same problem with gnome-power-manager, it works only when i kill it with killall gnome-power-monitor and re-run it.
About metacity i don't have problem with it.

Incomplete logout with Gnome/systemd

Hey,
I'm using Gnome 3.6 from the testing repositories. That is because with the current stable version (3.4) custom shortcuts and media keys do not work on my system. But I don't think the version of Gnome does matter, since I experienced the same issue with Gnome 3.4. Also, I'm using systemd, the OS is only installed for a week now.
When I log off (via the Gnome menu) and get to the login screen, I cannot shutdown or restart the system without providing root authentication. My root user doesn't have a password since I'm using sudo, so I have to login again and use shutdown/restart from the menu.
The authentication dialog tells me, I need to authenticate to shutdown while there are still users logged in. However, no one else should be logged in, since I'm using the PC alone. So there really is no reason to ask for authentication. If I log in via terminal, the following users are on the system:
$ who
(unknown) :1 2012-10-25 18:02 (:1)
joker tty2 2012-10-25 18:05
$ users
(unknown) joker
joker is my local user which I logged in as on the terminal. As I understand, (unknown) is the gdm instance. So everything seems to be right. Still, Gnome wants me to authenticate after I logged out of the terminal session again.
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30529 seems to fit my problem, but killing pulseaudio does not help in my case. I also tried changing the polkit policies in vim /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy to allow shutdown and restart without authentication even if multiple users are still logged in. But that didn't change anything either.
Can anyone help me with this? Just tell me what additional data you might need.
Thanks in advance!

maybe tracker-miner-fs is still running? If yes, vote for bug
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30529
problem with pulseaudio was solved with the mentioned configuration, but since gnome-3.6 there seems to be a bug in gvfs that keeps tracker-miner-fs from exiting with session.
This is IMO no more a [testing] thread.

[SOLVED] icon under application gnome shell

Hello,
how can I change the icon (not the dimension, but only the icon picture) under application of gnome shell? After the installation of amule-adnza-svn, the application icon is the default one.
I try to search on google and on the forum, but I didn't find anything to solve this.
Thank you.

Problem with Gnome and D-Bus

Hi to all, i have a problem with Gnome and D-Bus
Versions:
Arch Release: 0.7.2 Testing
Gnome: 2.14.1-2
D-Bus: 0.61-3
Screenshot explain all:
[URL=http://img366.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gpwned6be.jpg][/URL]

1>then i can't promote garnome on this forum??
yeah you can, but not as a solution to gnome related problem in arch. cause this doesn't resolve anything.
2>You don't have to, garnome2.14.2.1(481kb) download the patches and patch it automatically, just change install dir to /usr
(ONLY if you are using console-linux who want gnome a try). of course there is need small arch related patch.(in my experience 0)
eh, i haven't got a clue what this means, putting patches upstream means they will get include in gargnome and upstream releases. i only tried to say we put a lot of our free time in gnome for arch.
2-1>Well said, so choice is the each one's freedom.
and this category isn't arch, this is Desktop Environments,
i installed arch, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEANS I SHOULD USE gnome FROM ARCH!!!
agreed, but again then we won't support your desktop.
ARCH != gnome
3>some bug stuff about Xorg-7.0, include mine

ah bugs.archlinux.org so it can be fixed.

No scrolling when viewing man pages with Gnome terminal?

Hi all,
I have just installed Oracle Solaris 11 on x86. For a long time I've used Solaris 9 on SPARC. I like the new OS, but I'm having a problem viewing man pages with Gnome terminal. When I view a long man page, e.g., "man newfs", I don't get a functional scroll bar on the right hand side of the window. And although the space bar works to advance the page, when I reach the end, it doesn't return to the command prompt. It just beeps, prints "END", and I can only exit by closing the window. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Suggestions would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Chris Tidy

It does sound like you're using "less" instead of more. When you see the "(END)" prompt you can simply type "q" and it will exit back to the command line prompt making it unnecessary to close the window. See the "less" manual page for more detail on the less command. Under Solaris 9 the paging was done with the "more" command. If you set the PAGER environment variiable to "more" the man page will use more and revert to the behavior you'd be used to with Solaris 9. Less erases the text you've already read when you type that final "q" which is a behavior I don't like. I didn't bother to determine if there is a way to fix that with less, I just went back to more. The choice between "more" and "less" is a personal preference.
