[Bug 2040453] Re: Gnome 45 crash on restart in X11 session [Window manager error: Another compositing manager is already running on screen 0 on display “:0”]

2023-11-13 Thread m...@papersolve.com
I tested this with the very small patch indicated in #1 and it worked.

I did 
"apt-src install mutter"
applied the patch.txt file with "patch -p1 < patch.txt"
"apt-src build mutter"
it fails all the tests but apparently this is expected, so i just went into the 
obj directory and did "sudo ninja install" and it replaced all the versions 
from the original .deb package.  I logged out and back in, and then I was able 
to restart gnome-shell (alt+f2 and r) while I still had windows open.  

Their discussions about this issue seem to have gotten bogged down in
minutiae of what other bugs are related, does some other bigger patch
fix those bugs, no one tested it, etc.  So I think it might be a good
idea to carry this small patch for now, and hopefully by the time it
starts conflicting it will no longer be necessary because it will be
fixed some other way. :)

[Bug 2040453] Re: Gnome 45 crash on restart in X11 session [Window manager error: Another compositing manager is already running on screen 0 on display “:0”]

2023-11-02 Thread m...@papersolve.com
This bug is definitely important to me, being able to restart GNOME
Shell after it locks up, crashes, or updating an extension, _without_
losing any of my work or having to restart a large amount of open
programs, is one of the main reasons I still run it on X11.  Luckily I
was testing 23.10 in a VM while working on porting an extension and so
haven't updated my main machine yet.  But I won't be doing that until
this is fixed.  There is a patch on their gitlab but they have to test
it?  It's relatively simple so we could all test a PPA with the change.

It looks like the gnome bug does acknowledge it only works for 'click'
mode (I use sloppy) so presumably when that gets fixed (and it looks
like they're still thinking about it!) and released then both mine and
yours will too.

2023-05-24 Thread m...@papersolve.com
Hmm... unfortunately upgrading (both gnome-shell and mutter) to 44.1 did
not fix the main annoying bug for me where clicking titlebar doesn't
raise the window anymore (on X at least) - #2013216.

Also hitting the weird black bar issue that I didn't see under 44.0
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/5857
so I am going to revert to 44.0 and this should probably wait until that is 
fixed (I think it might require a new GTK to be released too?)

2023-05-15 Thread m...@papersolve.com
I've seen this in my logs too, QUITE a lot in fact

sudo journalctl --no-hostname --since "30 days ago" | grep "update stage
views actor" | wc -l

gives me back:  221915

But as far as I can tell it doesn't have any effect (GNOME 44.0
certainly has its problems but I was getting it in 43.x too and even
before that and it's not causing hangs or crashes).  Intel i915 kernel
driver and modesetting with X11.

The message is coming from gnome-shell, so I assume if you won't get it
if you run a different DE - but are other DEs also unstable or are they
fine?

If it is related to that - you should do 
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-new-windows 'strict'

(see

I'm here because I type in notification bubbles themselves, and since
gnome 3.34 these notifications do not have focus when I bring them up, I
have to explicitly click inside them (which doesn't always work).

Switching to Thunderbird is exactly what I did. :) But unlike the Arch
thread I don't have HiDPI enabled (scaling is 1 in gnome-tweak-tool for
both fonts and windows section). Epiphany works for me also. Do you have
HiDPI enabled? Does epiphany work for you? Also, for me evolution seems
to display a message or two (even HTML messages) and then hangs at
"Retrieving" (and this is for both of the accounts I have, one Gmail and
one Exchange).  I just want to confirm if this is the same bug or not,
if not I'll open up a new one.

this to work by removing all the Evolution configuration directories
(which did have some prior attempts at configuration from a long time
ago) and killing and restarting Evolution:

Unfortunately yes, at least for me.  In my case it definitely has to do
with the fact that I have a USB hard disk reporting itself as a
keyboard, this is confusing xklavier and causing gsd to crash.  I run
the command xinput --set-prop Western Digital My Book Device
Enabled 0 in my .xstartup and start gsd manually and this fixes it for
me but I don’t think for other people.  Gsd needs to handle errors
better from xklavier apparently.

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Here's a note I included in a similar bug (797947) that may help to
  diagnose as this might be a timing issue:

  I'd like to add that I can never get gnome-settings-daemon to start
  and stay running for more than 5 seconds, UNLESS i take the following
  actions, in which case it applies the themes properly and responds to
  theme changes and generally works just fine:

  1. start 'strace gnome-settings-daemon' in a window
  2. wait until the terminal appears to hang in the middle of the output
  3. switch to a virtual console (ALT+F1) and login
  4. pkill -9 strace
  5. switch back to X - everything is fine!

  This works about 95% of the time.

  This is a laptop that always gets this error on boot up and only has
  one screen, no docking station, so its not anything related to screen
  size I should think.

In my case, I can reproduce it and I included the backtrace above
yesterday.  I have found the issue is because an external USB hard disk
(a western digital MyBook 1TB Mirror edition, although other WD MyBook
devices also seem to have the same problem) is announcing itself not
only as a hard disk but also as an input device, confusing xklavier and
then this crashes gnome-settings-daemon.

Jared -- do you have the same issue?  If you do xinput list do you see
any devices that are not really input devices in that list?

[Bug 805894] Re: gnome-settings-daemon crashed with signal 5 in xkl_process_error()

2011-09-22 Thread m...@papersolve.com
After reading more of a related RedHat bug
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=657726) it would seem that
these crashes are in fact due to some bad messages coming back from
xklavier or xinput, and gnome-settings-daemon not being able to handle
them.  Here is a recent stack trace:

This probably reflects a bug in the program.

  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Now let's list what xinput devices I have connected to my computer:

mike@hawty:~$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer  id=2[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointerid=4[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ HP HP USB Laser Mouse id=10   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3[master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard   id=5[slave  keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button  id=6[slave  keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button  id=7[slave  keyboard (3)]
↳ daskeyboard   id=8[slave  keyboard (3)]
↳ daskeyboard   id=9[slave  keyboard (3)]
↳ Western Digital My Book   id=11   [slave  keyboard (3)]


What the hell? An external USB hard disk is reporting that it is a keyboard 
What happens if I disconnect it, then run gnome-settings-daemon again?

root@hawty:~# umount /media/MyBook   (unplugged it)

root@hawty:~# xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer  id=2[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointerid=4[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ HP HP USB Laser Mouse id=10   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3[master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard   

[Bug 797947] Re: gnome-settings-daemon crashes frequently with X protocol error

2011-09-22 Thread m...@papersolve.com
Since this is another crash related to xkl_ functions (xklavier) please
see my note in bug 805894 - its possible we are seeing the same issue
with xinput.

[Bug 797947] Re: gnome-settings-daemon crashes frequently with X protocol error

2011-06-28 Thread m...@papersolve.com
I'd like to add that I can never get gnome-settings-daemon to start and
stay running for more than 5 seconds, UNLESS i take the following
actions, in which case it applies the themes properly and responds to
theme changes and generally works just fine:

1. start 'strace gnome-settings-daemon' in a window
2. wait until the terminal appears to hang in the middle of the output
3. switch to a virtual console (ALT+F1) and login
4. pkill -9 strace
5. switch back to X - everything is fine!

This works about 95% of the time.

[Bug 735727] Re: Nautilus gets stuck in infinite loop on startup

2011-03-31 Thread m...@papersolve.com
Looks like this was corrected in the latest nautilus/nautilus-data
update in the gnome3 ppa (2.91.94). yay! :)
