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.
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

Start to drag the file then ctrl+uppercase and drop it
sangheeta uppercase, as in caps lock? that doesent work here, nor does ctrl+shift
I think its one those features that went in the waste basket.
Lucien_Lachance Dolphin is the poster child for separate repos

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

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.
I have a weird issue by where when I activate Activities and I start to type to search, the first letter is always duplicated. For example ffirefox.
This usually happens on first boot or if I've locked the screen and come back to the PC.
Restarting GNOME Shell will clear the problem for the rest of that session.
djanben Weird. The package sound-juicer hasn't changed since April 4th.
Do you get any output if you run sound-juicer on terminal (on the machine where you can't use it)?
The message from sound-juicer indicates that the cdparanoia plugin for gstreamer is missing, and that did change in the GNOME 43 update. Thing is, I can't see that it ever actually existed in any of our gstreamer packages, so I'm at a loss as to a) what changed, and b) how it ever worked at all.
markdj I don't know if this applies, but there is a bug if you use the Dash to Dock extension in Gnome this happens:
EbonJaeger The missing package cdparanoia is also impacting Rhythmbox which now also refuses to play regular audio CDs like Sound-Juicer.
There are two gstreamer plugins for audio cd sources, cdparanoiasrc contained in gstreamer-abse package and cdiocddasrc contained in gstreamer-ugly package, which are both missing in current Solus for some reason.
