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

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)

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.

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

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.

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:

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)?

djanben

EbonJaeger Staudey palto42 thanks for the research and the fix!
I'm happy that this one got tracked down.

[deleted] sorry for the late reply, wasn't around the last days. There is no output when running from the terminal, but I guess this is not important anymore. Thanks anyway!

EbonJaeger

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.

palto42

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.

markdj

riffer Thanks for that! It does indeed look like Dash to Dock is the culprit.

Thanks for the research! I see now that libgstcdio.so was removed with the last package update to gstreamer-1.0-plugins-ugly

Update: Should be fixed by https://dev.getsol.us/R1088:a3859e48bd012f5f6715d0b30feed63c71f6a858 (at least sound-juicer works now)

@djanben pinging you as well so you see this message. Of course, the update will only arrive in the Stable repository with the next sync, which will be next week (as we have postponed it for kernel testing)

palto42

Staudey thanks for the quick fix, Rhythmbox also works 😃 🎶

djanben No problem, enjoy!

I hope this workaround isn't already mentioned somewhere in this thread...

Regarding Nautilus and other apps not respecting the GTK theme, you could add
export GTK_THEME=[the-name-of-your-theme] to the ~/.profile file.

Staudey

elusian Are you fully up-to-date? That should've been fixed in the last round of updates (and works fine for me). Assuming you're talking about the issue where it automatically enters the folder you're trying to drop a file on.

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!

Sebastian

Staudey I can confirm that the gnome calendar-bug where events were shown multiple times in sidebar and in week-view is gone. I can also confirm that renaming files in nautilus finally works again.
Concerning the Nautilus Favorites doubling issue: that one persists. Though it has changed a little bit and this I would say at least a week ago.
Files in favourite-directory get still visually displayed multiple times according to the number of open nautilus instances with open favourite-directory as I described first.
So if you have 4 nautilus instances showing favourite-directory running the instance you started first shows each file 4 times and the last started instance shows each file 1 time, the instances in between show each file accordingly 2 and 3 times.
What is new is: all instances except the first started one now also show "as first file" in the directory what appears to be a textfile. At leat it has the logo of a textfile. But this file has no filename. Only the logo is displayed. And this nameless "file" gets displayed twice in all nautilus instances except the first started one. The file-properties claim that this file is a directory. If you click on this file for opening it, all running nautilus instances crash.

Now that renaming in nautilus works again I have also noticed the following: Open nautilus and go to favourite-directory. Now rename any file in favourite-directory. The file you just renamed, and only this one, now gets displayed twice in favourite-directory.
Edit: actually that is not quite true: after renaming the renamed file does get shown twice, but once with old and once with new filename. After hitting F5 for refresh, the duplicate with old filename disappears.

Sebastian

Staudey I encounter again the gnome calendar-bug where events are shown multiple times in sidebar and in week-view. This happens by either clicking on any date in month view or after restarting gnome-calendar.
