[SOLVED] Gnome 3.16: icon size not remembered

Every time I open a new "Files" instance from the Activities screen, the icon sizes default to "Medium", despite setting them to "Small" using Nautilus' setting slider.
Is there anyway to set the icon size globally to "Small" which sticks across new instances of Nautilus/Files being launched?

When Nautilus is open, click on the top panel where it says "Files", then Preferences, and set the defaults.
I think it's another "by design" decision by the GNOME devs, just like the stupidly big "small" icons.

  • [SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

    I upgraded earlier to Gnome 3.10. Although I've had a lot of problems.. I'm working on them one at a time.
    Most of the default icons are not showing anymore. My Nautilus looks like this:
    Some of the applications icons do still exist.
    If I create a new user and log in, the icons are all fine. But I cannot figure out how to bring back icons on my own user account.
    I tried running the command on http://askubuntu.com/questions/56313/ho … e-defaults, which set my favourites and wallpaper back to default. Icons still aren't fixed.
    I tried running gtk-update-icon-cache on my icons folder. Tried running xdg-user-dirs-update. Tried sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Ssq gnome-icon-theme). Tried running /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache and tried reinstalling librsvg. None of these have helped.
    Thanks.

    Not solved for me I'm afraid. I'm running Openbox + Tint2 setup, with quite a few Gnome applications. I use the Oxygen icon theme.
    Since the upgrade to the Gnome 3.10 packages, my GTK3 applications have missing icons which only reappear if I choose the GNOME icon theme using lxappearance, which modifies ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. Here's my normal settings.ini:
    [Settings]
    gtk-theme-name=Clearlooks-Phenix
    gtk-icon-theme-name=oxygen
    gtk-font-name=Arimo 9
    gtk-cursor-theme-name=aero-drop
    gtk-cursor-theme-size=0
    gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ
    gtk-toolbar-icon-size=GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU
    gtk-button-images=1
    gtk-menu-images=1
    gtk-enable-event-sounds=1
    gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds=1
    gtk-xft-antialias=1
    gtk-xft-hinting=1
    gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull
    gtk-xft-rgba=rgb
    When 'gtk-icon-theme-name=gnome' is used instead, the icons display in GTK3 applications.
    Any ideas please how I can get the Oxygen theme to play nicely with Gnome 3.10 applications?

  • [SOLVED] GNOME Power Manager Icon

    Hello,
    With the recent influx of GNOME 2.22 packages, gnome-power-manager has begun to behave strangely on my system.
    In gnome-power-preferences, I have specified that the notification area icon should only be displayed when my laptop battery is charging or discharging. Since I upgraded my GNOME packages, the icon has always appeared in my notication area upon login -- even if I am running on AC power. In that situation, the tooltip for the icon reads as follows:
    Computer is running on AC power
    Laptop batteries discharging (100%)
    Battery discharge time is currently unknown
    If I unplug the power cord from my computer,  the icon (strangely) disappears. If I then proceed to plug the cord back in, the icon will appear briefly (I assume to indicate that what little power was drained from the battery is being replenished) and then disappear once more.
    This problem is occurring on a Dell Inspiron 6400 (E1505). I feel that I might need to report this issue as a bug, but I'd first like to know if anyone else has noticed this oddity since the upgrade.
    Thanks!
    Edit:
    It seems as if gnome-power-manager thinks that I have two laptop batteries (though I have only one). Clicking on the notification icon lists two batteries: one with the usual "on AC power" icon and the other with the "discharging" (standard battery) icon.
    I do not think that there are any problems with ACPI: running acpi yields the following:
    Battery 1: charged, 100%
    I'm not quite sure where gnome-power-manager procures its information about the batteries)....

    I just updated to HAL 0.5.11rc2-2, and it seems that my problem has been solved!
    I didn't see the related bug report before starting this thread.... Thanks, JGC!

  • Gnome: changing application icon size

    Before gnome 3.10,according to wiki, to change app icon size it was necessary to edit "/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css".
    From upgrading to 3.10 and now with 3.12,it seems it doesn't work anymore and so I have to keep large icons on my shell.
    has anyone experienced the same issue?

    If you downsize the panel, the icons will be downsized too..
    There is also the drawer applet, which can contain the icons...

  • Gnome panel launcher icon size

    Is there a way to make GNOME panel launcher icons smaller? (like in XFCE panels...)
    Or, is there any other type of launcher that can be used?

    If you downsize the panel, the icons will be downsized too..

  • [Solved] Gnome extension "Hide Top Bar" not working.

    I copied the directory found in the zip file I got from the github into /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions and ran gnome-shell-extensions-prefs. The extension shows in the menu, but when I select it I get the error message:
    Error: Schema org.gnome.shell.extensions.hidetopbar could not be found for extension [email protected]. Please check your installation.
    Stack trace:
    getSettings@/home/briggs5/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/convenience.js:89
    init@/home/briggs5/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/prefs.js:14

    main@resource:///org/gnome/shell/extensionPrefs/main.js:278
    @<main>:1
    I checked two things at this point. First, that "org.gnome.shell.extensions.hidetopbar" is indeed present (which it is), and second that my version of Gnome is supported. I have Gnome 3.12, and according to "metadata.json" 3.12 is supported.
    [edit] Like an blind idiot I failed to see that README file which says:
    Installation:
    Compile the gsettings schema by running
    mkdir ./schemas/
    glib-compile-schemas --strict --targetdir=./schemas/ .
    Install this in your extensions directory:
    ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
    Example:
    cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
    git clone https://github.com/mlutfy/hidetopbar.git [email protected]
    cd [email protected]
    mkdir ./schemas/
    glib-compile-schemas --strict --targetdir=./schemas/ .
    gnome-shell-extension-tool -e [email protected]
    However when I followed the istructions I end up with the error
    $ glib-compile-schemas --strict --targetdir=./schemas/
    You should give exactly one directory name
    [edit2] I failed to notice the "." at the end of the "glib-..." line.
    ITs working now. Sorry for wasting Forum space.

  • Gnome Topicons changing icon size

    Hello,
    I am using the extension topicons to display tray icons in the top panel.
    Yet the size of the icons is too big for my taste. Can they be reduced?

    They could. It would be pretty simple if the extension made use of a CSS stylesheet as most gnome shell extensions do, but I'm seeing it doesn't have any. I just installed it for testing purposes, but did not even work.
    Ask developer to implement a CSS: leave a comment on the site you just provided or look for developer's email, which should be written down in the metadata.json file inside the extension folder. You should be able to find that under  ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions if you installed via website. Or ultimately, make your own stylesheet.css if you know the code internals (I really don't), and append it to the extension folder. It should not be very difficult since the main program (extension.js) is very short as it is now. Maybe someone else could help you write the css in less than a couple minutes.

  • [SOLVED]Gnome 3.6: Icons are missing after updating

    I did a (somewhat large) update yesterday which seemed to go fine. Since then, I'm missing a bunch of icons from various parts of Gnome. I'll attach some pictures that show what Nautilus looks like and the desktop top right menus. I use Faience icons usually, but changing it back to Gnome default doesn't help. I also deleted all the hidden Gnome configuration files, but that didn't help either.
    This is my pacman log from the upgrade.

  • [SOLVED]Gnome: No network icon in the status bar

    So fresh install and no networking icon in the status bar.
    I also opened the network connections program and it didnt show any connections. I am using eth0 to write this.
    This suggests to me that a daemon hasnt been started (but doesnt necessarily explain no icon in status bar)
    here is the daemon section of my rc.conf
    DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng network netfs crond networkmanager dbus gdm)
    i added network manager as a previous attempt (on advise of someone elsewhere on the internet(cannot remember where lol))
    Thanks.. I have nearly got my system how I want it (minus software i havent installed yet)
    Sorry if i have created a duplicate thread

    Thanks to both of you.
    I had already noticed the redundancy of network which was added in the install however hadnt considered the ordering

    This is pretty much all i have seen people saying at the end of their posts on here. I agree with the point you have made, however i have been on the wiki all day, conisdering this is a newbie forum it is to be presumed that it is a pretty new installation. Therefore the user does not have time to read the entire wiki. As i said i have been on the wiki all day and used it countless times and have found it invaluable, so im only posting here when i am unable to find answers there.

  • Gnome 3.16 - Nautilus does not remember recent servers

    Hi,
    I'm using Gnome 3.16 (clean install) and there is a bug in Nautilus when using "Connect to server" option. Nautilus doesn't remember recent servers anymore. Is there a workaround for this?

    Gerd093 wrote:
    found the solution:
    alternative (resets all settings) delete ~/.mozilla/firefox
    Argh! No need to be so harsh! Instead, 1) click on the hamburger menu, 2) click on the interrogation sign at the bottom, 3) select "Troubleshooting information" (or equivalent in your locale), 4) click on the big button on the top right called "Refresh Firefox" (or whatever it is in your locale). You won't lose your bookmarks.
    You will lose your installed extensions, write them down before refreshing in case that you are not storing them in Firefox Sync; (which installs them automatically when you log in again).

    Well the title says it, the icon looks like this (without the green stuff):
    It's easy to fix I guess but I just find nothing.

    If anyone can tell me why urxvt is not shown in pypanel go ahead.
    Because it's tabbed. Try to change the SHOWALL (or whichever that is which defines which apps should be shown) setting to something else (it's been a long time since I used pypanel and had the very same problem, something like this solved it).
    But if I were you, I'd simply use docker as a tray app and bind client-list-combined-menu (which also pops up when middle clicking on your desktop) to a key-combination in rc.xml.
    Ok, thanks. Showall=2 kinda works (I can't minimize by clicking on the panel, but that's ok). I don't know what you mean with docker though, as I don't have urxvt in the tray. And to koch: there is a thread in the newbie corner .
    I fear that was a lot of off topic because of me now, sorry for that.

  • [Solved] Gnome 3 Shell - Icons Missing After Update

    After my last update session, some icons went missing in Gnome. Even more unsettling, only some are missing. From what I can tell, my application icons haven't gone anywhere, but things such as minimize, restore, close, etc. are 404. Here's a photo to explain: https://vps.nullh.net/uploads/gnome-icon-issue.png I also noticed nvidia is included in the last update. I searched the forums, but all of the other problems seemed to be different problems (e.g. application icons were all bunched up/missing, desktop icons "missing", etc.) I feel like I should probably have more icons in the folders, too, but I haven't looked in there before the problem to be sure. Also, Alt+F2 "r" doesn't make a difference, the shell reloads but the icons are still AWOL. If anyone has any ideas, I am all ears.

    I ran gnome-shell --replace to try to get some logs out of it. Apparently, it doesn't know how vector files work any more.

  • [SOLVED]GNOME 3.14 user switch not working

    Hi everybody, happy new year.
    I noticed quite recently that user switching doesn't work on GNOME 3.14 anymore.
    I'm using nVidia drivers (343.36 from repo), I don't know if it's the one thing responsible for this, as desktop experience with their driver is becoming quite buggy in recent years.
    Does anyone experience the same problem?
    (I know it's not a very widely used feature but I got used to share the same computer at home and sometimes it proved to be very useful...)
    Thanks in advance.
    [Edit] I'm not talking about closing session, but switching between users on the fly...
    [Solution] Fixed with nVidia drivers 346.35
    => It's more complicated than that! In fact package nvidia-346.35-2 forced me to create the following file in order to be able to start X:
    /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Nvidia Card"
    Driver "nvidia"
    VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
    EndSection
    ...and it worked with this configuration.
    Bug when nvidia-346.35-3 hit the repos, I deleted the config file as it was no more needed to start X, but user switching once more failed to work as intended.
    I created this file once again, restarted gdm (and thus X was restarted too), and everything went fine.
    I don't know why a minimal config file is needed for user switching when it's not needed for starting X, though... GNOME devs might want to dig this.

    Omer666,
    This also fixed the problem I was having. The specific steps to reproduce the problem were as follows:
    1. Log in as user1. (start some apps)
    2. Click Switch User
    3. Log in as user2.
    4. Log out
    5. Log back in as user1.
    At this point without the above mentioned fix. user1's session will be restarted (or maybe it was killed when we clicked Switch User).
    I'm running the nvidia drivers version 346.35-6.

  • [Solved]gnome-system-tools You are not allowed access to sys config

    I did a FTP install of i686 Arch Linux on a friend's machine.  I could not get gnome-system-tools to work, keep getting:
    The configuration could not be loaded
    You are not allowed access to the system configuration
    So, I tried gnome-system-tools on an i686 Arch install on my machine, and gnome-system-tools worked.  Then I did a pacman -Syu  and fully updated the system.  The updates included udev which now prints how long udev events took on boot up.  After the updates, gnome-system-tools no longer works.  Same symptoms as the new install.
    Both machines have stbd in the /etc/rc.conf DAEMONS line.  Both the user and root in both machines are part of the stb-admin group.  Using gksu or launching as root in a terminal window results in the same problem.  The problem seems to be in system-tools-backends which works in conjuntion with dbus as I get this error:
    (time-admin:7607): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating with the backends:
    Process /usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl exited with status 127
    gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backends are part of the community group, so as far as I know, writing a bug report is out.  Both gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backends are out of date in community.  system-tools-backends is version 2.4.1 and the current version is 2.6.0.  I tried using makepkg to compile the new 2.6.0 version of system-tools-backends but it fails saying it needs dbus >= 1.1.2 but version of dbus is 1.0.2.  So it appears that dbus is out of date also.  That is a far as I got.
    I know this has been a problem in the past, but I got it working until this latest update. 
    Anyone got any ideas on this?

    When I entered the Original Post, I had rebuilt gnome-system-tools as this had fixed the problem the last time.  When I went to rebuild system-tools-backends, I had decided I needed to try and build the latest version of it, which didn't work as stated above.  By this time the lateness of the hour, and the current frustration level caused me to quit for the night and write this thread.  I am fairly sure I did NOT rebuild the current system-tools-backends.
    Anyway, deleting gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backends, then rebuilding the current version of both gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backends fixed the problem.   Be sure to follow the post installation comments from system-tools-backends.
    I wrote a bug report in the AUR.

    I've had the same problem with my users-admin and users-time... I've tried all the fixes from most of these posts... except for that string of code that someone wrote in this post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=42910
    for file in `pacman -Ql gnome-system-tools | grep desktop | cut -d" " -f2`; do cat $file | sudo sed 's/\(^Exec=\)\(.*-admin\)/\1gksudo \2/g' | sudo tee temp.desktop.tmp; sudo mv temp.desktop.tmp $file; done
    I wasn't sure what this string actually would do, so I haven't tried it yet. I figured there would be an easier way of fixing this problem. Like a simple edit in the SystemToolsBackends.pl file.....
    any help would be cool.

  • [Solved]Gnome 3 global proxy settings not working

    Hi
    My laptop runs Arch and I use it at a hostel and University. Both have different proxy settings and I had configured it by using a script (if one can call it that) in {/etc/profile.d/} that exported the correct settings. I had to edit (comment/uncomment) my setting every time I mover my laptop.
    I need the setting globally for Chromium to pick it up. Chromium until recently had a problem when accessing the Gnome 3 network (proxy) settings. A new update seem to have fixed this but the problem of picking up the setting remains.
    I started up a terminal to see how that global proxy setting in Gnome 3 were shown and found that only the following were set
    https_proxy
    all_proxy
    ftp_proxy
    The main one that I need {http_proxy} was not set, even thought I defined it. I think this is an issue with Gnome 3 and was not sure where I should report it. Any solutions will be much appreciated.

    I've had issues lately with Gnome 3 and proxy settings. For example, as of today (or sometime this weekend) Firefox is not obeying the system proxy settings (System Settings -> Network -> Proxy). Even better was that today I found that the system proxy settings had "magically" reset to proxy.company.com:8080 (or whatever their default setting is). If I manually set Firefox's proxy settings, it connects just fine. All terminal applications that I use only obey the http_proxy environment variable. Other programs, such as Evolution, seem to not obey the Gnome system proxy settings but only the ones set in GConf (not DConf) (which were also "magically" reset today).
