[opensuse-gnome] lost settings after latest TW snapshot
This friday I upgraded from TW 20160909 to 20161013. After the upgrade the desktop had no icons anymore (various files, Home, Trash and external storage). Are such settings supposed to be preserved? Also on this system I noticed there is now Wayland active. Is it supposed to be that way? Hopefully such switch does not cause the same damage as the notifier system caused to apps like Skype, Pidgin, KeepPassX and others. In nautilus the names are sorted differently. On the local backup disk I have directories like 'Lastrun.[0-9].*, hourly.*, daily.*, etc..'. "Lastrun.[0-9].*" was listed first, now its listed somewhere in the middle. Do I need to rename my tracking data to start with either 'Z' or 'A' to have them listed first? Olaf

Yes. There was a somewhat similar bug in GNOME 2.20, that was fixed, however. ( http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=982134 ) Since I could not find anything in our Bugzilla on this new issue, I created https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1004965

At a minimum, Wayland and Gstreamer do not always work together well when it comes to videos: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1004686 (And the missing icons from above also reappear in a regular X sessions, as supposed to a Wayland one. ) On another note, the upgrade also ate the reacher desktop context menu with, for example, that "New Terminal" option. How do we get that back? And then there is "Double-click on titlebar always maximizes window, even when "Toggle Maximize Vertically" is set in Tweak Tool", which I filed upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773056 Gerald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

That's because the code to draw the desktop got removed from nautilus, I assume. So these settings are just gone, I guess.

Yes, Wayland is the default now, but in gdm, you can pick a session with Xorg instead, if you have any issue with Wayland.
In nautilus the names are sorted differently. On the local backup disk I have directories like 'Lastrun.[0-9].*, hourly.*, daily.*, etc..'. "Lastrun.[0-9].*" was listed first, now its listed somewhere in the middle. Do I need to rename my tracking data to start with either 'Z' or 'A' to have them listed first?
Just a guess, but could it be that the sort of files & directories is now case-insensitive while it was case-sensitive before?

This is appearently not persistent. After reboot its broken again. Is one supposed to logout and login to get sanity back? Olaf

It is supposed to be persistent (the info is stored in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/). So you might be hitting some bug -- seems to work for me.

Thanks for the reply. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46 21. Okt 13:13 /var/lib/AccountsService/users/gdm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 68 21. Okt 13:14 /var/lib/AccountsService/users/olaf ==> /var/lib/AccountsService/users/gdm <== [User] Language= XSession= SystemAccount=true ==> /var/lib/AccountsService/users/olaf <== [User] Language=de_DE.UTF-8 XSession=gnome-xorg SystemAccount=false So appearently during autologon this is not used. I have not tried logout yet, have to do it soon because 'o /proc/config.gz' fails.. Olaf

Even "_delete.*" is listed between "daily.*" and "hourly.*" ... Olaf

But there's an underscore here, so that could explain it. Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org

The sorting appeares to work now. Either due to today snapshot or due to zypper al xorg-x11-server-wayland gnome-session-wayland Olaf

Alt+F2 does not handle scripts in ~/bin/ anymore. This used to work.
