[Desktop-packages] [Bug 2017498] Re: crashes trying to open the mouse screen
This bug seems to have been resolved in the meantime, incidentally (for me, anyway). I haven't checked in a while, but after getting notification of the previous post in the mail, and running an update, I've rechecked and can use both Mouse and Multitasking panels without an issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2017498 Title: crashes trying to open the mouse screen Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: gnome-control-center crashes on ubuntu 23.04 when trying to open the mouse screen Steps to reproduce: 1. In GNOME Settings, navigate to the mouse screen. The control center crashes (i.e., the window closes instead of showing the mouse screen). 2. Start GNOME Settings again, e.g., using GNOME Shell or by running the following command from the terminal: `gnome-control-center`. The main window does not show. Instead, the commandline output prints an error message as follows: Commandline output: ``` gnome-control-center --verbose 21:10:51.6276 GStreamer-Play[32248]: ERROR: GtkGstPlay: 'playbin' element not found, please check your setup [1]32248 trace trap (core dumped) gnome-control-center --verbose ``` More observations: Note, this happens reproducably. I just recently upgraded to ubuntu 23.04, which means I am running GNOME 44. I am now unable to start the gnome-control-center. It happens in wayland and xorg sessions. I am using an intel x86 laptop, a lenovo thinkpad x1 carbon. Workaround: The following workaround allows to start gnome-control- center again, but does not allow to access the mouse panel. In dconf editor, reset `org/gnome/control-center/last-panel'. The control center will then open successfully. I think this indicates that the mouse panel causes gnome-control-center to crash.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1666681] Re: Restore interactive_search.patch (type-ahead search)
PPA patch is based on commit 20cd678 from https://aur.archlinux.org /nautilus-typeahead.git repo which is meant for 3.26.2 release; although it did apply on 3.26.3, it wasn't cleanly and the result didn't compile. Next marked commit is meant for 3.28.0.1, so I didn't play with it. The changes I remember making were to nautilus-list- view.c:nautilus_list_view_set_selection() (new path2 variable), and to nautilus-window-slot.c (unclean patch apply caused another instance of configure_event_cb() to appear instead of modifying the existing one - you can download the PPA source and see that I've left the 'wrong' instance commented out in debian/patches/restore-typeahead.patch instead of removing it by mistake). Nothing major, all in all. Guess I'll fork the AUR repo to Github? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181 Title: Restore interactive_search.patch (type-ahead search) Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Nautilus dropped the popular type-ahead search feature years ago. Ubuntu has been carrying a patch to revert that change. See bug 1164016 for the original LP bug and patch proposal. Nautilus is now under very active development. During the 3.22 cycle, that patch needed to be rebased. I tried to do it and what I came up with caused a crash (it didn't really crash for me, but ricotz and some others experienced it) and the first letter typed activated type- ahead search but the first letter was dropped. In other words, you would need to type "ddow" to activate the Downloads folder instead of just "dow" like in previous releases.

The Nautilus maintainer csoriano has said that the slots and views changed significantly during 3.22 and will likely be refactored more in the future. If there's no one available to maintain the patch, unfortunately, we'll eventually have to drop the patch to not be stuck on an ancient version of Nautilus.

I personally find this annoying. If I want to search, I'll click the search icon. Often I'm looking at a long directory listing and simply want to jump to a certain point in it, and type-ahead find works great for that. Would Ubuntu consider patching type-ahead find back in?
