Re: Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 regressions
6. When GEdit is set to use the system font, it does so -- but does not respect the "Scaling Factor" set in the Tweak Tool (worked fine in 16.04).

Re: Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 regressions
Actually. the SMPlayer crashes happen on X11, too, though less frequently. If I click "next track" or sometimes just switching from fullscreen to windowed, the Shell crashes. (Unlike in Wayland, the Shell restarts again with all applications still open.) More issues: 3. Changing the default app for Video Player in setting seems to have no effect. (I switched from SMPlayer to VLC, but SMPlayer is still being used.) 4. In Nautilus it is impossible to change the default app to open a file. I click on Properties, then Open With, and see a lit of all applications. But even if I mark VLC and click "Set Default", it jumps back to SMPlayer. 5. The right-click menu for files in Nautilus shows the "Compress..." option twice. Each option opens a slightly different dialog.

Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 regressions
Before, I was using Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 upgraded to GNOME 3.20 via the PPAs. The following things worked fine before, but are broken now: 1. SMPlayer/mpv crashes the entire Shell in Wayland when playing a video. It doesn't matter which output driver I use. Interestingly enough, mpv works find standalone! Because I can't live without SMPlayer (ha!) my workaround is to use the X11 session. I can understand view errors, but why does the Shell crash? 2. Eclipse IDE cannot handle Hi-DPI properly, lots of bugs with font sizes. (Worked fine in 16.04.) My workaround for now is to set Eclipse to use GTK+2 (SWT_GTK3=0). I imagine there is something in the new version of GTK that ships with Ubuntu that prevents Eclipse from reading scaling values. Could it be an Ubuntu GNOME configuration issue? Otherwise, font rendering is *very* different from Ubuntu GNOME 16.04. It's not necessarily bad, just ... different. Just letting you know in case this wasn't intentional. -- Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list Ubuntu-GNOME@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome
Re: 18.04: Ubuntu GNOME --> Ubuntu ?
I think it's far too early to guess just how Ubuntu will end up packaging GNOME. Some options/questions: 1) plain vanilla defaults? 2) with a special Ambience theme? 3) with special extensions? 4) Wayland as the default session? Depending on these choices, Ubuntu GNOME may or may not be worth pursuing as a separate flavor. All I know for sure is that interest in the Ubuntu GNOME flavor is going to skyrocket as many users will prefer to switch ASAP rather than stay with a UI that they know is going to be phased out. :) -- Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list Ubuntu-GNOME@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome
Re: Proposal to drop 32-bit Ubuntu GNOME support after 18.04 LTS
Is support for 32bits seriously stressing the dev/QA resources of the small Ubuntu GNOME team? If yes, then please drop it! There are enough solutions out there for those who want GNOME on Linux in 32bits. (And I'm not even mentioning other DEs that might be more suitable for 32bits, such as the terrific Xubuntu project.) 32bit Ubuntu users especially devoted to GNOME can even build it on their own. The point is that the good folk who make Ubuntu GNOME should enjoy their work and feel focused and productive. You're not leaving 32bit users in the cold -- they'll shall survive. If the decision to drop 32bits is just a matter of principle, because the number of users is small, then perhaps it's premature to drop. Even if there is just a handful of users who are grateful for being able to run a modern desktop on their older machines I think it could be wonderful and worthwhile to continue to support them. Thanks, team. I will support whatever decision is best for you and your priorities. -- Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list Ubuntu-GNOME@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome
Re: GNOME 3.20 crashes with NVIDIA propriety driver
I think it's a bad idea to use it one its own. You should use the whole repository: https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3-staging But if you insist, you can find the .dsc, .deb, the tarball, and the diff all there.
