IMPORTANT: Issues with latest update / GNOME / Budgie / GTK apps

niobleoum

Since most of the issues mentioned here concern nautilus I was wondering if anyone got similar issue with firefox after the last update, namely after some time the right click menu will bug and wont launch* in browser, also certain pop up elements such as downloads list, saved logins list etc. suffer the same issue, restarting the browser fixes that but only for a while until it occurs again.
*-to be more precise it launch & disappear immediately making it unusable.

niobleoum Is this on a GTK-based desktop (basically everything but Plasma)? Personally I haven't noticed any issues with Firefox on Budgie, but I'll keep an eye on it.

@everyone: I'm going to delete some of your messages because this thread is starting to become unfocused. As I've said in the original post, I don't want off-topic discussion, "me too!", or similar messages. Just new problems and actual solutions. It becomes hard to track those when they're interspersed among dozens of other posts. So far I have let this slide somewhat, but it seems to just get worse and worse without intervention.

I'm as guilty as anyone here. And fair enough. I thought there was some troubleshooting value in posts/replies that could/could not corroborate? But I can see where, on the other hand, they could be a distraction as well,

gnome-calendar shows all events multiple times in week-view and in sidebar-preview on the left

I have an issue with the gnome-calendar. When I open it after boot, everything is just fine.
Then I close it and open it again: all events in week-view and in preview in sidebar on the left are shown twice.
Then I close it and open it again: all events in week-view and in preview in sidebar on the left are shown three times.
Then I close it and open it again: all events in week-view and in preview in sidebar on the left are shown four times.
And so forth....
In month view everything is just fine. This does only affect week view and the sidebar.

Sebastian Huh, that's weird. Yeah, I can reproduce that. Gonna add it to the list and look if there's already a fix available. Thanks!

Staudey

Some things that should be fixed after the next sync (and I think I forgot to notify people about some previous fixes, but you probably noticed yourself):

Sebastian After the latest glib2 updates I can no longer reproduce the issue with gnome-calendar. So hopefully this means it's fixed (btw, maybe this also takes care of the Nautilus Favorites doubling issue? I haven't checked that one).

@infinitymdm Seems like we finally have a fix for the Nautilus crash on renaming. The issue was in libgtk-4. With the patch I can no longer reproduce the crash. If it still happens for you (after the update and a reboot/relog), please tell me, thanks!

nautilus: files marked as favourite appear multiples times in "favourite directory"

steps to reproduce:
open nautilus
click on the favourite bookmark in the sidebar on the left
all files marked as favourite are shown once (supposed behaviour!)
open another nautilus instance (new window)
also click on the favourite bookmark in the sidebar on the left
in the new window all files marked as favourite are shown once BUT now in the first window all files marked as favourite are shown twice

If you now open another instance of nautilus and click on the favourite bookmark, new window shows favourites once, the second windows shows favourites twice and the first started instance shows favourites three times.
And so forth I guess.

I have a weird issue that I'm not even sure if it is a Nautilus or a Budgie bug.
If I open a terminal, either from Nautilus or normally, it goes in front of all windows, as expected. If I open another, it goes in front, as expected.
If I close either of them, now every terminal I open from Nautilus will go in background and I need to select it from the task list, until I close all terminals.
It's not a serious issue, but it's very annoying since I open a lot of terminals from Nautilus...

anyone found a way to drag/drop in nautilus and create a link? you used to be able to hold down the alt key and this little menu appeared

Lucien_Lachance anyone found a way to drag/drop in nautilus and create a link?

I didn't see anything about creating a link with Nautilus. Even in the context menu, there was only a way to create a new folder.

In Dolphin, there are several options for creating a link. I don't kow if there's a way to do it with drag 'n' drop, but perhaps one of these will work for you. Installing Dolphin might bring with it a fair few dependencies, but on the whole, I think it's a better file manager.

Start to drag the file then ctrl+uppercase and drop it

Lucien_Lachance

WetGeek im very familiar with dolphin, it s***s all over nautilus, but im not going to install that on gnome
you used to get that little menu (move/copy/link) - just like you always get in dolphin in nautilus too, by holding down the alt key. but not anymore

brent

Lucien_Lachance Dolphin is the poster child for separate repos

i just discovered that you can right-click copy a file(or several), and then right-click 'paste as link' in another dir. i guess that will suffice, and one of my biggest problems with nautilus43 solved.
maybe that function has always been there, i dont know

Lucien_Lachance

sangheeta uppercase, as in caps lock? that doesent work here, nor does ctrl+shift

sangheeta

Lucien_Lachance
Yes, sorry, it's ctrl+shift. My french make me write mistake. 😅
So now, I don't understand why it doesn't work for you, I'm on budgie and it does, I can even make a ctrl+z after and it ask me if I want to delete permanently the created link.
The trick is to really press ctrl+shift after starting dragging the file.

I think its one those features that went in the waste basket.

I must say the the amount of new bugs we got in Nautilus/Files is overwhelming. I was perfectly happy with how it was before. The glitching menus are super annoying.

Also is it just me or you can't hide the sidebar by hand anymore? I don't mind it's not resizable, but the F9 keyboard shortcut simply does not work.

juampiursic Isn't vanilla GNOME an option? Would it be so terrible?

As I understand it, almost all of these issues and regressions stem from GNOME's decision to switch everything to libadwaita. This is an intentional design decision. From now on, these are vanilla GNOME.

Just noticed that sound-juicer is not usable. It keeps showing an error popup:

Could not start Sound Juicer
Reason: The plugin necessary for CD access was not found.

When trying to roll back to before the gnome stack update, eopkg couldn't find certain Nautilus packages on the server. At this point I stopped the roll-back. Thus, I can only suspect that the issue was introduced with the stack update.

Staudey

djanben Hmm, yes, I can reproduce that. When could you last successfully use sound-juicer (approximately, just to rule out other things than the GNOME stack update causing it)? Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be solved by a few quick rebuilds and I'll have to dig further.

@juampiursic Well, the thing is that this IS pretty much vanilla GNOME. The days of carrying huge amounts of patches to e.g. remove libhandy from everything are over. Still we run into a lot of trouble.
(and just to reiterate, this thread is only for concrete issues and solutions in respect to the GNOME stack upgrade)

djanben

Staudey Thanks for confirming! My son can still run sound-juicer on his laptop. However, I don't know when he last updated. I'll check with him tonight or tomorrow.

djanben

Staudey The laptop on which sound-juicer is still working was last updated on 2022-09-26 17:57 CEST.
