New Solus Gnome user. My first big update since installing. I'm in total awe with your ability to respond and attend to the issues re the transition to 3.32. You guys are ridiculously good and dedicated. I was affected by the gnome-shell issue which I spotted on gitlab but did not think it was even worth reporting since it is basically upstream... The latest sync solved the issue afaik 😁

I'm left with one very minor problem : the app menu in the top bar (disabled by default in Solus but can switched on in tweaks) does not activate anymore - I know this app menu was revamped in 3.32 so maybe it's related to that, but it works ok in other distros... It serves basically no purpose except telling you the app in focus, which i happen to like 😀. Any help would be appreciated.

You guys rock, thanks !

    axelmeunier Regarding the AppMenu, it was forced on by GNOME Shell with no option for vendors to disable it, so I had to temporarily patch it out. This is actually quite ironic because the vast majority of GNOME app updates in the 3.32 series were to remove support for it and move that functionality into the headerbar.

    I'm sorry if that inconveniences you any, should a viable solution arise that doesn't require me to patch out the AppMenu completely, I'll implement the solution and ensure AppMenu is off by default (as it was with GNOME 3.28).

        After update cant open Grub Customizer do i need to reinstall ? SOLUS Budgie user.

          do i need to reinstall ?

          No, but I can't fix the issue unless you provide me some logs. Can you run it from the Terminal and see if it's just missing something (possibly just needs a rebuild).

              JoshStrobl Thanks a lot for your response, i understand and I can live with it for now !
              The app menu gives the top bar a sense of purpose though 😀

                @JoshStrobl
                the latest batch of updates that arrived in the last few hours, caused bugs with my gnome top panel

                this did not happen before...the clock which ive got on the right has similar issues
                edit: the panel fonts are all wrong too, not adhering to whats described in the theme

                  Lucien_Lachance That seems to be a fairly non-standard configuration. Could you elaborate more on your settings, what extensions you have set, etc.?

                    from left to right its frippery applications menu, gnomenu (2 entries) and the openweather extension. theres also an issue with gnome shell not respecting the -natural-hpadding: and -minimum-hpadding:
                    set in the themes, i always edit those cos i want the tray icons closer together, but it does its own thing now and not following the theme

                    Dug deeper and may be the result of the St changes. Given we've isolated the performance issues down to the GL MaxAllowFrames, it's probably safe for me to remove those patches and just wait until a new point release.

                    Was worth a shot I guess re. the St patches.

                        @Lucien_Lachance Try running sudo eopkg install https://packages.getsol.us/unstable/g/gnome-shell/gnome-shell-3.32.1-43-1-x86_64.eopkg and rebooting, lemme know if the St patches removal fixes it for you.

                          After the update my wifi broke. Using a Broadcom BCM43228, and the network applet sees the device but doesn't see any networks. Reinstalling broadcom-sta-current did nothing, and plugging in another wifi usb restored the connection.

                          Rolling back was not possible as gnome-themes-standard-32bit was not found in the repo.

                          E: checking and reinstalling broken packages found python3 and perl-to-ssl-socket as broken and reinstalled, but rebooting did nothing.

                          Peek doesn't want to save gifs. Save window (File manager) suddenly closes ~ 1-2 sec.

                            Solarmass Verified. Crashes on file dialog.

                            My Wi-Fi also stopped working on my laptop after the update; I can see networks, but I can no longer connect to mine. Intel 8265/8275 (Dell XPS 9365).

                            EDIT: Seems like it's an issue with hidden SSIDs, when I un-hide my wireless network, it works again. This wasn't an issue before the stack upgrade.

                              Resizing window width in the default "dual tiling" GNOME feature fails most times, and "decouples" them (cancels tiling)
