[opensuse-gnome] GNOME 3.8 Upgrade: WebDAV GVFS has issues
by Adam Tauno Williams 03 Nov '13

03 Nov '13

I upgraded my workstation [nVidia x86_64] and primary laptop [Intel-GPU x86_64] openSUSE 12.3 boxes to GNOME 3.8 as described @ <http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/2013/04/gnome-3-8-for-opensuse-12-3-g…> Upgrade was smooth, and both are working. On the laptop [Intel-GPU] I had to also perform the Mesa upgrade, otherwise it was hopelessly donkers (as expected from the post). zypper ar obs://home:dimstar:Mesa/standard Mesa zypper dup --from Mesa Only problem I have now is that GVFS WebDAV seems quite broken. I can view a folder in Nautilus, but attempting to right-click open some file results in an error. GVFS appears to be dropping the initial part of the path so "/dav/Projects/MyProject/Documents/myfile.txt" results in a request for "/Projects/MyProject/Documents/myfile.txt". -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Widget packing issues in Wireshark
by Adam Tauno Williams 03 Nov '13

03 Nov '13

I'm not sure if this is a "GNOME" issue, it appears to be a Gtk issue, so I don't know if that counts. I'm seeing widget packing problems when using Wireshark, in dialogs some widgets are not expanding to fill the available area. Widget not packing correctly in the Follow TCP dialog <https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=819148> I found a very similar but relating to the packet detail dialog. <https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=813180> -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Distro upgrade to Tumbleweed breaks Gnome
by Terje J. Hanssen 14 Jun '13

14 Jun '13

I had a working tumbleweed with KDM and KDE. Tried also to login to a Gnome session from KDM which returned only the KDM login menu back again. Therefore I decided to make a new, plain 12.3 installation from scratch with only the Gnome desktop installed. Gnome 3.6 login worked ok from the GDM menu after that. Then ran 'zypper dup' which upgraded 12.3 to the latest level. Gnome 3.6 login still worked ok after that. Disabled the 12.3 repositories and added the following five for tumbleweed distro upgrade: 1. openSUSE Current OSS http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-current/repo/oss/ 2. openSUSE_Current_non-OSS http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-current/repo/non-oss/ 3. openSUSE Current updates http://download.opensuse.org/update/openSUSE-current/ 4. openSUSE-Current-non-oss-current http://download.opensuse.org/update/openSUSE-non-oss-current/ 5. Tumbleweed http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed/standard/ Then ran 'zypper dup' which upgraded 306 packages to tumbleweed, possibly from Gnome 3.6 to 3.8 included. After this upgrade, neither normal mode nor Advanced (recovery) mode boot up to the GDM login menu, but stop with a black console after the last message "Reached target Graphical Interface" or after "Started LSB x Display Manager". Similar experiences and possibly solutions? Thanks, Terje J.

[opensuse-gnome] Discontinuing some old GNOME:* projects in OBS
by Vincent Untz 09 Jun '13

09 Jun '13

Hi, I was looking at https://build.opensuse.org/project/subprojects?project=GNOME and realized we have many many subprojects, with many of them being really old. I've started marking as DISCONTINUED (in the description) some of these projects: - GNOME:STABLE:2.x - GNOME:STABLE:{3.0,3.2,3.4} - GNOME:Backports:2.x - GNOME:Community (superseded with GNOME:Apps, really) At the same time, I'm removing all maintainers and only leaving the gnome-maintainers group (to avoid people changing packages in these projects, but still have a group who can jump in if really needed) and disabling build on Factory when it was still there. I'm planning to do the same for the following projects which have not been active in a long time, so please shout fast (within a week) if you don't want this: - GNOME:Apps:F-Spot - GNOME:Apps:F-Spot:Unstable - GNOME:Apps:Tasque - GNOME:Apps:Tomboy - GNOME:Apps:Tomboy:Unstable - GNOME:Ayatana:11.4 - GNOME:Ayatana:deprecated - GNOME:Evolution and GNOME:Evolution:* - GNOME:GNOME1 Note that I'm not removing any package, nor dropping any repository. So all of this should be revertable.

[opensuse-gnome] gtk themes after recent 12.3 update
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 13 May '13

13 May '13

Hi, I've just applied the latest 12.3 updates and now all my input fields in gtk2 applications are "flat". Is that intentional? This looks quite strange to me and everything but nice. (I'm not running under Gnome but WindowMaker so no Gnome settings are applied but only gtk2 default behaviour.) I guess gtk2-metatheme-adwaita-3.6.2-3.4.1 gtk2-theming-engine-adwaita-3.6.2-3.4.1 is responsible for that? * Fr Apr 12 2013 jmcd(a)suse.com - Fix GtkEntry text background override; (bgo#685712); (bnc#815078). + Added allow-gtkentry-background-override.patch + xchat input and topic boxes are unreadable Ah, and just looking into bnc#815078 finding the same report and it apparently is a bug! Should I raise the severity since the update is broken or do we need a new regression bug with higher severity to get it fixed quickly?

[opensuse-gnome] Epiphany issue
by Michael Hill 12 May '13

12 May '13

I usually have three or four Epiphany windows running with 10-15 tabs. I'm currently running: Version : 3.8.1 Release : 163.3 Architecture: x86_64 Whenever I switch focus to another app and then back, or whenever I change tabs within Epiphany, the newly-focused page blanks completely, sometimes for over a minute. This seems to be independent of actually updating the page contents, just a repainting of the page as it was at the last refresh. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Is it an upstream issue?

[opensuse-gnome] NetworkManager gets out-of-sync
by Adam Tauno Williams 09 May '13

09 May '13

After pulling the most recent updates [using the GNOME 3.8 repo] the NetworkManager on both my workstations and my laptop seems to get out-of-sync. Disabling the wireless after being connected does appear to stop the wireless [verified with ip addr] but it still shows the wireless-connection icon [i tried to get a screenshot but that doesn't work when a shell submenu is open]. The same effect seems to occur after disconnecting from a VPN - NM doesn't seem to be aware that the VPN connection closed although 'ip addr' verifies that it has. Also for VPN connections NM stopped updating DNS [/etc/resolv.con] upon connection of the VPN. This occurs for both by laptop and my workstations, where connect/disconnect worked previously and added/removed DNS entries automatically. NetworkManager-0.9.8.0-3.3.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.8.1-2.1.x86_64 -- Adam Tauno Williams <mailto:awilliam@whitemice.org> GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Unable to click anything/gnome shell freezing - looking for people with the same symptom
by Richard Brown 08 May '13

08 May '13

I'm having a very weird problem with one of my machines The Symptom - shortly after logging in, gnome-shell will be 'non-responsive' with the hot corners, Super/Windows Key, etc all failing to do anything. Clicking on the Activities or User Menu gets no response However, the machine is otherwise operational This is happening on both GNOME 3.6 and 3.8 consistently, but only on one of my machines. If I already have windows open, these windows may still work - for example Firefox is still perfectly responsive, as is Guake and YaST 'Core GNOME' applications like Nautilus however seem to 'lock up' at the same time. If you happen to have any of these 'core GNOME' application windows over the top of non-GNOME applications like Firefox/YaST any mouse clicks seem to pass right through the GNOME applications, activating whatever you're accidentally clicking on in the Firefox/YaST windows below Waiting a while seems to be all it needs to get gnome-shell working as usual, and it doesn't occur more than once per user session, but it does seem to be happening on every user session on this machine. Things I believe I've ruled out 1) Weird settings in /home folder - I destroyed all hidden folders in my home folder, and this occurs on fresh accounts 2) Nvidia vs Nouveau - yes, this machine has an Nvidia video card, but this behaviour is happening identically on both Nvidia and Nouveau video drivers 3) Software selection - this happens on a fresh GNOME openSUSE 12.3 installation from DVD with no customisation what so ever, as well a fresh 12.3 Install with GNOME Stable 3.8 + guake + owncloud 4) Multi monitors - this seems to happen regardless of what multi monitor behaviour is in place Theories I've got left - ie "What's special about this machine?" All my other GNOME machines and VM's all use Network Manager, this is the one machine I has that does not. But I see nm-applet is running so I guess gnome-shell might be doing some weird attempted init on boot, failing, locking up, then giving up and behaving normally. This isn't a machine I can easily activate NM on, so before I test this theory, I would like to hear if anyone else has bumped into anything like this, and if so, what was the fix for you if you found one? And if anyone else has any bright ideas where to look for any solutions or clues so I can actually file a useful bug report for someone, I'd appropriate it ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Tumbleweed: Gnome 3.8 breaks Emacs/AucTeX - LaTeX process does not finish
by Peter Hanisch 04 May '13

04 May '13

Hej! I posted to opensuse-factory before, but Greg KH suggested to take this problem to this mailing list (or upstream, but I think this is enough for now, until we know more). Anyways, here's the problem: Since Gnome 3.8 hit Tumbleweed last week, Emacs shows a curious problem when using AucTeX to typeset LaTeX documents. When typesetting a LaTeX document, Emacs opens a new buffer with the LaTeX output in it. When the LaTeX run is finished, Emacs displays "LaTeX: successfully formatted {1} page" (with the appropriate number of pages). This also ends the LaTeX-process, allowing to use a new process, like LaTeX, Bibtex/Biblatex/Biber etc. This is not a LaTeX problem, since it works correctly from console (and finishes the run). It is also not TeX-engine specific, since both XeLaTeX and pdfLaTeX show the same behaviour. Moreover, this does not seem to be an Emacs problem, since emacs-x11 (as opposed to emacs-gtk) does not show the same problem. *However*, with the Gnome 3.8 update, Emacs does not do the last step, i.e. displaying that LaTeX finished successfully, and consequently, the LaTeX process never finishes. When calling a new LaTeX process, Emacs then first asks whether to kill the old (unfinished process), which needs to be accepted before a new LaTeX process can be called. Emacs produces no error messages whatsoever, and I see no output when starting it from console, either. The problem goes away when downgrading the Gnome-related packages in Tumbleweed to the normal 12.3 versions, which suggests that this is, in fact, a Gnome problem. It seems as if something in Gnome 3.8's core breaks the process notifications and handlings between processes, but I have no idea what would. The Emacs version does not matter, the behaviour is displayed with the standard 12.3 version, Tumbleweed version, my current compiled version and a fresh compile from Emacs master. Any ideas? And what should I file a bug against? Cheers, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-gnome] Crash when switching user with gnome 3.8
by Valerio Mariani 02 May '13

02 May '13

Dear All, after the upgrade to Gnome 3.8, in my home desktop system I started to notice a serious problem when switching users. If I log in as a user, then 'Switch User' to allow another user to login, and then switch back to the first user (either by selecting again the 'Switch User' entry in the menu, or going to the correct tty with the keyboard), I see a message saying that something went wrong, that all extensions have been turned off, and offering me to logout (I am not using any extension). I tried to diagnose the source of the problem, and it seems that GDM is crashing. I see the following messages in /var/log/messages (notice the failed asserts for xdm): 2013-04-21T02:48:22.765606+02:00 linux-3xop dbus-daemon[554]: dbus[554]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.PackageKit' 2013-04-21T02:48:22.766352+02:00 linux-3xop dbus[554]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.PackageKit' 2013-04-21T02:48:23.363053+02:00 linux-3xop polkitd[623]: Registered Authentication Agent for unix-session:5 (system bus name :1.144 [/usr/bin/gnome-shell], object path /org/freedesktop/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8) 2013-04-21T02:48:23.503771+02:00 linux-3xop gnome-session[2003]: Entering running state 2013-04-21T02:48:24.118099+02:00 linux-3xop gnome-keyring-daemon[2000]: keyring alias directory: /home/apaterna/.local/share/keyrings 2013-04-21T02:48:24.136829+02:00 linux-3xop goa[2152]: secret_password_lookup_sync() returned NULL [goautils.c:210, goa_utils_lookup_credentials_sync()] 2013-04-21T02:48:24.137199+02:00 linux-3xop goa[2152]: /org/gnome/OnlineAccounts/Accounts/account_1366456332: Setting AttentionNeeded to TRUE because EnsureCredentials() failed with: No credentials found in the keyring (goa-error-quark, 4) [goadaemon.c:1085, ensure_credentials_cb()] 2013-04-21T02:48:25.078198+02:00 linux-3xop goa[2152]: secret_password_lookup_sync() returned NULL [goautils.c:210, goa_utils_lookup_credentials_sync()] 2013-04-21T02:48:32.871663+02:00 linux-3xop goa[2152]: last message repeated 2 times 2013-04-21T02:48:32.871618+02:00 linux-3xop gdm-password]: pam_unix(gdm-password:session): session closed for user vmariani 2013-04-21T02:48:33.085460+02:00 linux-3xop kernel: [ 358.850720] mission-control[1795]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f58bf375cb0 sp 00007fff1d63b9b8 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3600.0[7f58bf33a000+fc000] 2013-04-21T02:48:33.320474+02:00 linux-3xop xdm[555]: GLib-GObject: g_object_ref: assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed 2013-04-21T02:48:33.320648+02:00 linux-3xop xdm[555]: GLib-GObject: g_object_unref: assertion `object->ref_count > 0' failed 2013-04-21T02:48:33.321903+02:00 linux-3xop xdm[555]: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.000510 seconds 2013-04-21T02:48:41.666463+02:00 linux-3xop systemd-logind[532]: Removed session 4. I observed this error both when using the proprietary nvidia driver and the open source nouveau driver. I also noticed that the session for the first user opens on tty7, but the one for the second opens on tty2, not on tty8. Is this ok? I would really like to get to the bottom of the problem as user switching is essential for me on the desktop. Please let me help if I can provide more information to help with the debugging Thank you for your help Valerio -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner(a)opensuse.org
