[SOLVED] forms looking strange in opera since upgrade to gnome 3.4

Hi!
I just upgraded my gnome installation to gnome 3.4 and now I see some strange rendering effects in opera regarding forms.
First problem is that text fields now have an inner border. This creates a 3D effect but looks kind of strange because the text overlaps this inner border:
The second (and more severe) problem is that entries of a drop-down menu disappear when they are hovered:
I searched through gnome's and opera's theme settings but couldn't find any option that could change this behaviour. I also tried removing the .opera directory but it also didn't help.
Can anyone confirm these problems and has anyone an idea how to fix it?
Greetings,
Michael
PS: The screenshots were taken in this forum (search form) but can be seen on all other websites with standard forms.
edit:
fixed in opera 12 build 1406 (currently beta status and only available on AUR)

Good idea, but it's set to Adwaita.
-- edit:
ok, this is definately a problem with opera and the new version of Adwaita. If I use the old Adwaita version, that's included in gnome-themes-standard-3.2.1-1, as GTK+ theme both problems are solved. But then other things look weird...
I reported this to the opera team. A workaround is to set "Dialog Toolkit" to 1 (qt) or 4 (neither gtk nor qt) in opera:config.

[SOLVED] Desktop looks strange after upgrade to Gnome3!

Hi there,
I just upgraded my system (about 200 packages) and when I rebooted my Login-Screen looked strange.
When I logged in the strange screen persisted... Arch told me that Gnome3 couldn't be loaded and
that this has probably something to do with my graphics hardware.
This is what it looks like:

As you can see my Dekstop looks like shit. Also the WiFi Password isnt saved, which is a minor issue for me.
But what really sucks is that the system flag is missing!!
I have no idea how to even start to solve this...
Please help!!!

Stuff that needs sudo is in my sudoers as "username hostname NOPASSWD: item1,item2,etc,etc". Nothing too exciting. Seems like if there was suddenly something wrong with my autostart file at least some of the stuff would run either way though cause of "&". Pretty puzzling this issue is.

[Solved] Openproj looks strange in the awesome WM

Hi Community,
I just installed openproj from the AUR. But when I run it in the awesome WM, I found the background of the application looked nearly blank, which made openproj impossible to edit in.
It looks strange. So, openproj cannot be run from the awesome WM?
Any idea will be helpful. Thanks.
=======
Solved:
Just edit the file /usr/bin/openproj and add a line to be as follows:
#!/bin/sh
wmname LG3D
java -Xms128m -Xmx768m -jar /usr/share/openproj/openproj.jar > /dev/null
Last edited by cwjiof (2010-01-12 14:45:20)

Thank you very much!
=====
Edit:
I've found a detailed description from this article: Java GUI application in Awesome Window Manager.
There is a known problem with Java and the non-reparenting Window Managers like for example Awesome.
Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw gray windows only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in JDK 5 and 6 because it assumes a reparenting window manager.
There are a number of places where this is described:
* in the FAQ : GUI Java apps appear as a gray screen!
* in the wiki Problems with Java
* in the Man page
To sum up:
* it doesn't affect version Java 1.4.2 and before.
* it doesn't affect version Java 1.7 and hopefully after.
* the best workaround by far, is to set a name to the Window Manager, so it is recognise by Java as a non-reparenting Window Manager. A simple utility allow to set this name. Just add 'wmname LG3D' to your .xinitrc or simply run it.
* Here are other workarounds left here for reference:
o launch another X server, like Xephyr
o set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif back-end instead): AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit. But this won't work in the following cases :
+ OpenJDK/IcedTea doesn't include the Motif toolkit.
+ doesn't work for x86_64 Java, for whatever reason

Things keep disappearing since upgrade to Gnome 2.22

Ever since I upgraded to Gnome 2.22, things keep disappearing from the desktop.
1. When I start a Gnome session, Gkrellm automatically starts and appears on workspace 1. If I change workspaces, then come back to workspace 1 Gkrellm is gone. I try to start it and it says:
gkrellm: Exiting because multiple instances option is off.
Evidently it is still running, it is just gone from the desktop.
2. When I start a Gnome session, I have Firestarter start automatically. When I send Firestarter to the tray, after a short period of time, the Firestarter Icon is gone from the tray. Then the only way I can bring the FIrestarter GUI back up is to restart Firestarter.
Anyone else having problems with stuff disappearing with Gnome 2.22?
Pudge

I personally stopped using gnome after 2.20 its just so... well buggy. My girlfriend however is still using it and she occasionally has the entire desktop disappear on start up, randomly either nautilus or gnome-panel will crash on start up. Could be related I guess.
Ive read somewhere that problems like this can be related to the GTK theme or something random like that, though she is using the default clearlooks gnome theme.
Best thing to do is look through /var/log/Xorg.<x>.log and /var/log/everything.log and see whats crashing, if anything.

[SOLVED] USB 3G no longer works after upgrade to GNOME 3.8

I did the 'big' update today, including upgrading to GNOME 3.8. Unfortunately, NetworkManager no longer picks up my 3G USB modem (which used to work fine before the update). Any pointers as to how I could debug this would be greatly appreciated.
wvdial has never really worked for me, but gnome networkmanager used to pick up my device and the connection, and now simply acts as if it's no longer present. Attempting to follow the instructions on the wiki to re-setup my USB stick (the instructions I followed in the first place) no longer works. Did today's update cause the same problem for anybody else?
**Update: After updating today to modemmanager 0.7.990-4 and running
sudo systemctl enable ModemManager
sudo systemctl start ModemManager
I have full connectivity again with the built-in DW5550 mobile broadband card in my Dell Precision M6600 (including showing signal strength in the GNOME 3.8 top bar, etc). Thanks all for the help, and (most importantly) to whoever fixed up modemmanager!
Last edited by dawid.loubser (2013-04-26 16:57:42)

wvdial might also be a workaround, if one does not like to downgrade. In my case, I had to unset my PIN on the SIM card first. One can do that using a mobile phone, for example.
Then
# pacman -S wvdial
in /etc/wvdial.conf, I put
[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Attempts = 3
Init1 = ATZ
[Dialer huawei]
Modem = /dev/serial/by-id/usb-ZTE_Incorporated_1_1_Surf-stick_MF19001MOD010000-if02-port0
Baud = 115200
[Dialer voda]
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","web.vodafone.de"
[Dialer dial]
Phone=*99**1#
Username = umts
Password = umts
You can find out your modem name by looking it up with
ls /dev/serial/by-id/
In my case there were names containing the strings if00, if01 and if02, and if02 turned out to be the correct one. This depends on hardware.
Also, in the "Init 3" line, you may have to replace "web.vodafone.de" according to your provider. The section "dial" seems to be quite universal from what I read on the web, so you may not have to change that.
then
# wvdial huawei voda dial
and hope for the best.
Disclaimer: I do not have a comprehensive understanding of what I did here, but it worked in my case and it might work for you, too.
I noticed that the Defaults section makes a difference, because the one I just edited in above avoids some delay in dialing.

[SOLVED] External sound output silent since upgrade to GNOME 3.16

Hi.
I just upgraded my machine to GNOME 3.16 (pacman log). Since then, sound output (whether the GNOME Sound applet test, or Clementine, or YouTube from Firefox)...
... works fine when outputting to the laptop speakers.
... is silent when I plug my external speakers to the computer's jack 3.5" out. I have two outputs, am using the same as before the upgrade but tried both nevertheless, and plugging an mp3 player works.
Here is my config:
laptop = Dell XPS 1645
uname -a = Linux x 3.19.3-3-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Apr 8 14:10:00 CEST 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux
pulseaudio = pulseaudio 6.0-1
Any idea? Debug suggestions? Need more info? Thanks for the help.
EDIT: Problem solved after a second reboot :-/

I've tried to reinstall kernel26-lts...and even with this kernel, the same error occurs...It's most likely related to the mkinitcpio creation process.
Did you try the fallback initramfs?

Strange AppleScript Behavior Since Upgrade

Here's a weird one: After upgrading to Tiger, I also upgraded a very simple applescript that sets the sound volume. I use it on login in case I was "rockin' out" when I last logged off. The old script was simply:
set sound volume 2
but that syntax is now "deprecated," so I updated it to the new version:
set sound volume output volume 25
But this new script produces a strange error: "Can't make current application into type small real." HUH?
OK, so...I created another user account and tried it from a fresh account and it WORKED. So, I thought maybe there was something weird in the system. I did a re-install of Tiger using "archive and install" and then tried the new account again - it still worked. The old account still produced the weird error message.
So I began moving all my stuff to the new account. But in the process, thought I would check the script again. Now that I'm 98% moved into the new account...the script now causes the same error!
AAAGGGGHHHHH!
Has anyone had an experience like this? What do I do now?

Move half of your home folder's contents to the desktop, and then try the script again; if it works, move half of the items on the desktop back and try again. If it doesn't work, move half of the items currently in the home folder to the desktop. Repeat this process until you find the problem file or have run through everything. If you find the file, post back with its name and path, as knowing this may be useful in troubleshooting future cases of the same issue.

Strange Graphics Problem Since Upgrading to 10.5.5

Hi,
I have a March 08 Octo core Mac Pro with 23" Cinema display which have both been trouble free until today. After waking the mac pro up from sleep the screen graphics were all messed up. I was able to clear it by moving the cursor over the affected areas. The computer also kept asking me for my wireless network password, but would not accept it.
I re-booted and was confronted with the same screen again, only this time it connected to my network okay. Again, I could clear the mess by moving the cursor around. I tried re-booting again and once again the same screen. Now I get the screen whenever I turn the computer on or off. Once I have cleared the mess, the system seems to work fine.
Anyone else experienced this? Any ideas?
Here is a picture of the screen.

I would suggest doing the Leopard 5.5. combo upgrade download from apple. I had a number of issues following normal 5.5 upgrade but this solution solved everything.

[Solved]can't disable auto login after upgrade to gnome 2.28

Prior to upgrading gnome to the latest version I had set gdm up to auto log me in. Since the upgrade I can't figure out how to disable auto login. I would like to be able to disable auto login, can anyone on here please help me out here? Thanks for any help provided.

Ah, thanks a bunch. This had been bothering me for awhile now, just finely got around to trying to fix it. Thanks again.

Sorry, I have no constructive advice. Just poking fun.
No problem, you actually made me laugh out loud, so thanks for that.

Iphone and 3 ipods not registering with iTunes since upgrading to version 10.4!

Good day and thanks for your help. AppleCare has been unable to solve or identify my problem. Since upgrading to version 10.4 I am unable to have my iphone or ipods be recognized in iTunes. I have deleted and reloaded iTunes four times, as instructed by my AppleCare tech. I still cannot see any devices in iTunes. I am running a Dell Latitude D620 with XP, Service Pack 3. My device manager shows all USB ports are active and working properly. I have tried multiple Apple sync cables. My phone and cable work fine on my wife's laptop, so I do not believe it is a hardware issue with the cable or phone.
I heard a rumor that I need USB 2.0 ports for version 10.4. I believe my ports are version 1. Is this true? If so, how can I find and reinstall iTunes version 10.3.
Thank you for your time and assistance. I am extremely frustrated by this process!

Hi robert2232!
I have a couple of articles here that can help you with troubleshooting this issue:
Mac OS X: Resetting the SyncServices folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
If the issue is still appearing after following the suggested steps in that article, then you will want to see this article for some further troubleshooting steps:
Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170) I am no longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro. I am using operation system OSX 10.6.8 and being presented with error message "You have been disconnected - an internal error occurred.

No longer able to open the application on my MacBook Pro since upgrading to FaceTime 1.0.5 (170). The operating system is OSX 10.6.8.

My problem opening FaceTime after the upgrade is now solved. I didn't pay enough attention when prompted to decide where to store the application upgrade and as a consequence the computer created another "Applications" folder within the existing one. When I subsequently clicked on the icon on the dock to open the application the computer couldn't find the software.

Cmake not working properly, since upgrading system. [SOLVED]

Since upgrading my system yesterday Cmake doesn't seem to be working correctly. It doesn't seem to be finding files that a build requires, even though they are in /usr/include. I've been able to reproduce this on a few packages, now. I've just produced it again, while trying to compile compiz from sources;
[ninez@ninez compiz-libcompizconfig]$ build-compiz
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.7.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.7.0

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:127 (compiz_pkg_check_modules):
Unknown CMake command "compiz_pkg_check_modules".
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
NOTE: Before the upgrade, compiling with cmake worked just fine, including this very source code.
I'll see if i can remember what other packages were giving me grief, and post them as well. ~ if i manually specify the complete 'include' path for things like CompizCommon (in CMakelists.txt) , i do get past the issue. However, like i said - this wasn't a problem before upgrading, and i shouldn't have to manually put in the full paths. something is wrong.
any help is appreciated

Looking at the changelog for cmake 2.8.8, it could well be that it is working as intended.
Noah, downgrading to cmake 2.8.7 is quick way around the problem.
Thanks for this, Rufflove.
I just got in the door, so i think i'll downgrade cmake.

EDIT: Yup, That's seems to do the trick. 2.8.7 works OOTB, 2.8.8 does not.
I've also mentioned this to Sam. (in case, it turns out that they need to change some stuff for that version).

The only observations are that the backup drive is deemed too small and the quite long list of diagnostic reports dated between Jan 18, 2015 (which I believe is the day I upgraded to Yosemite) & today the latest Yosemite update was installed on Jan 28, 2015
Any further assistance will be appreciated
