[SOLVED] Gnome3 looks and behaves differently now, after some update

Hello,
I am using Arch Linux on my Dell XPS 15 laptop. I have the latest NVIDIA drivers installed (using the manual shell script). Today I logged into my system after a few days, and found that gnome 3 was looking quite different from what I had used before. Specifically,
1. I see "Applications" and "Places" on the top left in the menu bar (earlier I only saw "Applications").
2. I have to click on Applications to get a drop down menu in the old style (Gnome 2) format.
3. I cannot take the mouse to the top left of the screen and get the mosaic of icon launchers anymore.
4. I now see a "taskbar" (Windows style) at the bottom of my screen, and a workspace icon set on the bottom right of my screen from which I can switch workspaces.
5. I can no longer re-start the shell using Alt+F2 and r. When I press Alt+F2, I get a dialog box which is similar to the Gnome 2 dialog box.
6. The only status icons I can see clearly are those for the wireless and the battery. The volume control and bluetooth icons show up only when I mute or unmute the speaker using the icon control, and the
I remembered installing and removing the gnome-shell-extension-user-theme-git and gnome-shell-extension-user-common-git packages, so I removed them with yaourt and then did an rm -rf of the .themes directory. I restarted Gnome but this did not help.
I'm sort of lost now that I am logging into my system after so many days. So I'd appreciate help on how to restore Gnome back to the standard Gnome3 and roll back any changes that might have occurred since.
Thanks in advance!

It could be that you have Forced Fallback activated for some reason. If reinstalling the graphics drivers mentioned above does not work, try going to your System Settings > System Info > Graphics. Make sure that Forced Fallback Mode is OFF.

Can I have the same site look and behave differently on different platforms

I want different sites with the same URL's dependent on the device used to access the domain. For instance if a smartphone accessed my domain it would see a mobile specific site and the same for the ipad. I can do this in wordpress but now I have moved over to dreamweaver I can't seem to find the way to do it.
Hope you can help

I am sure you can find a free version too. There is a simple line of code that can detect a mobile device but you are trying to be more specifc.

Jumpy touchpad when I scroll after some updates on Thinkpad S440

Hello everybody
Yesterday I ran some updates and since then I have a touchpad issue. It automatically jumps when I scroll down or up. Sometimes, when I scroll down a PDF or a webpage it goes automatically to the end.
This is a very annoying issue. My Thinkpad is new and clean and this issue came after some updates.
I am thinking the problem might be due of:
- Synaptics UltraNav driver update (16.6.4.38)
- Auto Scroll Utility (2.10)
I don't know a lot, if someone has the same issue or know the solution I would be nice to add your experience
Thank you.

I also agree that it would be nice for a warning if the updateConfig.xml file does not exist, or if it is not formatted properly. For example, I change my app ID before publishing and forgot to update the config file resulting in me having to submit yet another version - from a human factors standpoint, these errors will occur from time to time so any help on the machine-side would be useful.
Additionally, it would be nice to have the option to remove/hide any apps that have been withdrawn from the 'Manage' screen.
All-in-all though, I think you guys are doing a great job!

There was add one and i lost it after the update and i don't remember it's name

there was add one and i lost it after the update and i don't remember it's name
it was add-on to show me the source of any click able content
like pics on twitter or Facebook
also the videos on youtube
and it showed a little icons with small pic shape on it with different colors
and also sometimes with a small lock shape on it
now i need to know what this add -on name or how to get it back

Add-ons are not auto-deleted as far as I know...
It's possible that the extension or userscript simply doesn't work correctly in Firefox 22 due to a change in Firefox. If you look at the add-on pages, often the reviews will mention whether the add-on is broken in a new release.

After some updates, Aperture stops recognizing previously imported files, and rewrites video metadata dates. How do I keep the from occurring?

I have been using Aperture since version 1 (to now, 3.x.x), and after some updates Aperture fails to recognize the files previously imported. I have checked the selection box that says "Do not import duplicates" every time I import. I have pics and videos dating back to 2001 in the Aperture dB. Videos were imported once Ap started to support it. (Well, the initial support was really bad...) Anyway, those earlier video files all have the same date - now - thanks to Aperture changing the dates to 3/24/00. The funny thing is, Aperture will not let me manually correct the dates. To me, it seems that after every major update, the dB gets "reset" and forgets files already imported. I'm not saying pics/vids imported in the last month, but say six months to five years or more. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I do not think this matters, hoever, my Ap is set up with referenced original on an external drive.
Thank you!

WOW!
I'm REALLY impressed by your exhaustive and detailled description!
How long did it take to write? Sure longer than the import itself...
Thank you so much. I got a working import of Ap2 lib before but your description have me various hints for handling problematic or faulty projects.

iTunes won't start and asks to reinstall after iTunes10 update. I have tries reinstalling, but it comes up with it again. I have uninstalled every Apple program and reinstalled them but still the same.

What's the precise text of your message, Callum? There's a few different ones I can think of that mention reinstalling iTunes.

Bluetooth connectivity and beeping during calls after lollipop update

After this update I have had problems with the bluetooth audio cutting out. Also during calls a strange beeping sound can be heard every minute. Is anyone else having this issue?

Couple of other ideas looking around on the web, try hardwired headphones and see if the problem does indeed go away (narrows it down to bluetooth only), if you are playing back from sd card try moving to phone to see if that solves it (some people have seen similar issues with failing micro sd cards). You aren't by chance getting notifications when the drop outs happen? It could be muting the audio to playback notification but not playing back the notification (just a thought). Try different apps for playback assuming you are listening to music.
BTW how do you like the Gear circle (other than the cutout issue)?

How do I fix my scrabble for iPad, which crashes now after I updated it this am?

I just updated my Scrabble for iPad this morning, now it crashes while loading and I don't know the solution to this. any ideas? Thanks

If the item is crashing after an update this is likely to be a problem only the software developers can fix. Go to the App page for the Scrabble and look for any Developer/Support links, and send feedback.

Spry Accordion only works once and doesn't redraw after content update

Hello,
I am constructing an Accordion via inner.HTML. I finally got this to work, HOWEVER, it will only execute correctly once. When I call "doSpryData" the first time all is well. When it gets called the second time, the "alerts" fire but the Accordion does not redraw itself and no data is displayed (function doSpryData below).
I would appreciate any ideas on what I'm doing wrong!!!!
Thanks and cheers!
function doSpryData(){
          alert("in spry data!");

Hello to all,
I have spent HOURS trying to figure this out....
I know the above code is messy, but it does correctly do the accordions via innerHTML. I have a dropdown on my page and when the user changes the input there, I call "doSpryData" and it is supposed to 1) reload XMLDataSet and 2) redraw the Accordion (I would like to have different data displayed on the same page depending on what user selects). For some reason, it will not redraw the accordion and show the data after it has been done once.
I am really desperate so any ideas would be much appreciated!
Cheers,

Some websites, like Amazon and Shutterstock became garbled after I updated Java.

Some websites, like Amazon and Shutterstock show up completely garbled. I suspect problems with Javascript, and I'm pretty sure the issue started after I updated Java. I did all the troubleshooting tips listed on this site, and none helped. I booted Firefox without extensions and the problem prevailed. I don't know what else to do.
Mac OS 10.6.8, Java up to date, Firefox 12.0

hello, can you try to clear cache, cookies & history for the affected sites as it is described here: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Websites%20say%20cookies%20are%20blocked#w_clear-history-for-that-site]
in case this doesn't resolve the issue, also go through the other troubleshooting steps of [[Websites look wrong]]. thank you.
