GNOME 3.8 in unstable?

Johannes Rohr — 2013-05-17T06:13:00

Dear maintainers,

sorry for my impatience! I noticed that GNOME 3.8 is still in 
experimental, even though the Wheezy release process is over. Are there 
any indications as to when it is going to make it into unstable? Is it 
waiting for some transition to complete first?

Thanks!

What does Emacs Keybinding theme do?

Xue Fuqiao — 2013-05-03T06:57:36

I'm using GNOME 3.4 on sid, and I have two small questions regarding
keybindings:

1. In "Advanced Settings" -> "Theme" -> "Keybinding theme", I changed my
theme to "Emacs", but I didn't find anything difference.  (I tried to
press "Ctrl+a" on the search area of "Activities" and Nautilus, but both
of them do not behave like `beginning-of-line'.)

2. In "System Settings" -> "Keybord" -> "Shortcuts" -> "Navigation", I
changed "Switch applications" from "Alt+Tab" to "F9", but it didn't make
any difference.  If I change it to "Ctrl+F9", it's ok.  Why?

I have searched on Google and help.gnome.org, but they didn't help.  Can
I get a pointer to information on them?

Testing gdm3 3.4.1-7

Emilio Pozuelo Monfort — 2013-04-15T11:57:59

Hi all,

gdm3 3.4.1-7 from unstable fixes an important accessibility issue (the screen
reader no longer working on gdm).

To make sure the packages are fine, I'd appreciate if people could test it
(you'll also need gnome-session 3.4.2.1-4). After installing those, make sure
gdm still works as expected. Also make sure to test the "Screen Reader" checkbox
in the top panel, inside the accessibility menu there. Enabling "Screen Reader"
should start orca and it should read your screen.

If we have confirmation that the packages are working fine, we may be able to
ship this in wheezy r0. Otherwise it'll be delayed to the first point release (r1).

Thanks,
Emilio

gnome-calculator issues in GNOME 3.8

Marcelo Santana — 2013-04-07T16:20:13

Hi folks,

Please does anyone know why gnome-calculator from experimental no
longer appear among gnome 3.8 applications? Another issue: it no longer
provides advanced mode for scientific or financial calculations.

*PS: I preferred don't report a bug against gnome-calculator package
before make sure about it.

Suspend problem in Gnome 3.8?

Arief M Utama — 2013-04-06T10:38:20

Hi all,

Been trying gnome-3.8 packages that is starting to available in
experimental.

Most things worked quite flawless, liked the new version.

Aside from the missing of network configuration from the control-center, my
biggest annoyance with the new version is the missing of suspend ability.

Somehow I can't suspend anymore. Close lid doesn't worked, no suspend
button from the User panel menu, pressing power button also did not suspend.

When pressing power-button a message pop in syslog though:

--- start snippet ---
dbus-daemon[1099]: dbus[1099]: [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched
rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.44" (uid=1000 pid=3507
comm="/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daem")
interface="org.freedesktop.login1.Manager" member="Suspend" error
name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.3" (uid=0 pid=1113
comm="/lib/systemd/systemd-logind ")
--- end ---

Aside from using gnome-3.8 packages, I also used systemd, network-manager
and latest dbus and libc from experimental

Gnome Screensaver (experimental) not working?

Arief M Utama — 2013-03-03T08:18:58

Hi all,


I am not sure what did this, run a couple of upgrade this week (I'm running
gnome 3.6 from experimental), even tested out dbus and libc6 from
experimental as well.

Just realized yesterday that my nice, stylish screen-lock (gdm-shell
enabled) is not working anymore.

Tried some things, and downgraded libc6 and dbus back to unstable version
also... still not working.

In syslog I kept seeing these lines whenever I tried to lock-screen:

Mar  3 15:11:04 kamboja kernel: [  272.135212] traps: gnome-shell[3291]
trap int3 ip:7f04892b04eb sp:7fff9525f720 error:0

Appreciate any feedbacks/inputs/suggestions. Thanks!

usomething stealing Ctrl-Space

Miles Bader — 2013-02-14T01:46:26

[reposted here; not sure what the right mailing list is...]

As of today, the Control-Space key combination is no longer being
passed through to any apps, in particular, gnome-terminal and Emacs.
As this is a very important Emacs key-combination, this makes using
Emacs difficult...

I'm not sure at all where to look for the problem, but I notice
gnome-shell got updated yesterday, and it would certainly be in a
position to steal keys.

I also use "mozc" for Japanese input, which I notice is no longer
working....  This may be relevant, because I think the default enable
key for mozc is Ctrl-Space, but I had changed it to Shift-Space
instead.  I cannot verify this that my change is still active,
however, as the "settings" command in the mozc menu [in the little
icon in the screen title bar] now does nothing... ><

Anybody have any idea what's up?

Thanks,

-miles

Empathy in experimental is not installable?

Arief M Utama — 2013-02-01T08:42:15

Hi,


I have been using Gnome 3 from experimental for sometime now (since the
freeze), it has been quite a wonderful experience.

Only it has been slightly interrupted due to latest empathy in experimental
is not installable.

I believe this because it is currently depends on libcheese-gtk21 while it
should be made depends on libcheese-gtk23 instead.

But I am not all too familiar on the packaging side, is that intentional?
Or this is actually a bug?

Would someone care to enlight poor gnome3-loving soul here?

Thanks, and kudos for the great work in making gnome3 in debian rocks!

All the best.

Making GNOME 3 fallback mode not suck

Johannes Rohr — 2013-01-11T15:36:57

Dear GNOME developers,

I really appreaciate that there is a fallback mode in Wheezy, as I have
difficulties coming to terms with the GNOME shell. Now, what strikes me
is the, in my view ugly appearance of the panel and the panel
applets. It seems to me like they are using the dark sub-theme of
Adwaita, which may be o.k. for the GNOME Shell, but just doesn't look
right in the fallback mode. I think everyone upgrading from squeeze and
choosing GNOME classic would be in for a shock at its appearance.

Wouldn't it be possible to force the panel an the applets to use the
light Adwaita appearance by default? Honestly, I have been trying to
figure out how to do that and was unable to get around it, so that's why
I though I could suggest this to you (Else, would anyone have a
suggestion how I can get that done myself locally?)

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

gtk_show_uri() broken without desktop-file-utils?

David Smith — 2013-01-05T05:22:59

Hello,

Then now it works.


I've got a bug in the package "liferea" (http://bugs.debian.org/666145) 
that seems to be caused by not being able to launch the default gnome 
web browser unless desktop-file-utils is installed.  Even if the user 
has properly configured a default gnome web browser, it still won't work 
unless desktop-file-utils is installed.

More specifically, it seems that gtk_show_uri() library call, and 
similarly,  gnome-open in (libgnome2-0) seems to be broken without 
desktop-file-utils installed.

Question #1: Package "liferea" has gnome web browser called via 
gtk_show_uri() set as the default web browser, as such,  should this 
package recommend desktop-file-utils as it seems to be required for this 
to work?

Question #2: Should I instead be using gnome-www-browser 
(http://wiki.debian.org/HOWTO/DefaultWebBrowser) as the default browser, 
which appears to work without desktop-file-utils?

Queston #3: Assuming the application default web browser fails for any 
reason, is it reasonabl

Nvidia proprietary driver and multiseat with gdm3+systemd

darion Андрей — 2012-12-22T13:39:31

I ran into another problem. Nvidia proprietary driver does not work
with gdm3+sistemd. I'm only interested in a full 3D support for
multiseat. Decided by adding patches (include in attaches) Patch idea
was found here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=878605
Now all the seats are working fine and full accelerated, but after
logout gdm3 greating respawn not working. May be I should rebuild with
"--without-console-kit" too (now I rebuild with  "--with-systemd"
only) ?

Updating GTK+2 in Lenny

Camaleón — 2012-11-25T18:24:08

(sorry if it comes duplicated)

Hello,

A quick question.

Since Firefox/Thunderbird 17.x releases now it's required GTK+2 >2.18¹ so 
for those still running the "olstable" flavour (Lenny) this is a problem 
as it comes with GTK+2 2.12.

I've found an updated GTK+2 from the backports archive² with these two 
packages (required to update Mozilla programs):

libgtk2.0-0 2.18.6-1~bpo-50+1
gtk2-engines-pixbuf 2.18.6-1~bpo-50+1

Would there be any problem in getting just these two and keep the rest of 
the libraries at 2.12 (that is, mixing GTK+2 versions)? I just did it 
under a VM and all seemed to be fine but I prefer to ask the masters.

Hai,
I am running an application on iceWM. After awhile my gtkthread crashes.
Please find the backtrace of the core file generated. Is this problem
because iceWM doesn't completely support gtk? Your immediate help is greatly
appreciated.

Uploads of evolution bits

Jordi Mallach — 2012-10-21T21:41:00

Hi,

A few weeks ago I asked on #-release about the possibility of updating all
evolution components to their 3.4.4 releases.

It's very rare that GNOME releases .4 tarballs for their cycles, but it
seems the evolution maintainer saw it fit, as there were quite a few
important bugfixes accumulating in the 3-4 branch.

Anyway, I was of course asked to show some diffs.

http://people.debian.org/~jordi/evo/

is what I'd like to upload.

I'd say all of the fixes are important for wheezy, even if some of the
diffs are big (not so, if you remove the autotools noise).

In particular, there are some fixes for some currently open RC bugs, and
many crashes for several areas of the evo-data-server architecture and the
evo mail client.

There's no packaging changes other than the necessary build-dep bumps and
changelog entries.

If I'm given a green light, I'll upload e-d-s and gtkhtml tomorrow, and
the other few bits a bit later.

We're happy to comment this on the mailing list or in #debian-gnome, if
any question aris

Iceweasel as a gnome-core dependency?

Paul C. Bryan — 2012-10-12T02:24:02

When installing the gnome-core metapackage (unstable), I noticed that it
unconditionally pulled in iceweasel as a dependency. This seemed odd to
me, as Iceweasel is not a GNOME-related package at all and seems to make
little if any attempt to even integrate with GNOME.

I found a bug[1] in gnome-core that seemed related to this issue, and
seconded the call for removing the iceweasel dependency. The response
was that security was the driver for this, and that I should report
iceweasel's lack of GNOME support as a bug.

1. Is there any background or conversation the RT had that I can look at
to better understand their decision? I can't seem to source anything
relevant.

2. I'm thinking the suggestion of reporting iceweasel's lack of GNOME
integration as a bug is unreasonable. Anyone think that doing so would
have any merit?

Thanks,

Paul

GNOME 3.6 somewhere?

Ole Laursen — 2012-10-05T10:08:00

Hello good packagers of GNOME!

Does anyone have plans to put packages of 3.6 out somewhere?

The only thing I could find online is this chart, where it actually looks like a
couple of packages entered experimental:

http://www.0d.be/debian/debian-gnome-3.6-status.html

I guess unstable is going to stay at 3.4.x until wheezy is out and the freeze is
lifted.

RFS: cinnamon and muffin

Nicolas Bourdaud — 2012-09-30T17:03:35

Hi all!

I have prepared packages of Cinnamon and Muffin which are forks of
respectively gnome-shell and mutter made by Linux Mint. Cinnamon have
attracted a certain number of people which like it as a compromise
between the Gnome 2 panel and Gnome shell experience.

However I am myself only a DM and I am looking for sponsor to upload
them into the Debian archive. I thought that I could find on this
mailing list some DD that have experience of this type of package. ;-)

If you are interested, please find the relevant RFS:
muffin: http://bugs.debian.org/680544
cinnamon: http://bugs.debian.org/680546

Cheers,
