Public bug reported: gnome-shell's extensions system, as well as some of the advanced tweaks, sometimes require restarting the shell (through Alt+F2 r) in order to take effect. If guake was already open when gnome-shell is restarted (whether hidden or not), then guake becomes somehow unusable.
Whatever processes were active in guake's tabs continue without problem, but keyboard shortcuts like moving between tabs are not possible. Also, it's not possible to open new tabs either. Finally, selecting "Quit" from guake's tray icon doesn't have any effect and the only way to end it is by killing it ---which is not so straightforward, since the name of the process is simply "python". ...:~$ uname -rsvpm && lsb_release -rd && apt-cache policy guake Linux 3.0.0-10-generic #16-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 2 18:32:04 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 Description: Ubuntu oneiric (development branch) Release: 11.10 guake: Installed: 0.4.2-5 Candidate: 0.4.2-5 Version table: *** 0.4.2-5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: guake 0.4.2-5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-10.16-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-10-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 1.22.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Sep 12 12:02:15 2011 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Alpha amd64 (20110829.1) ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: guake UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: guake (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug oneiric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/848142 Title: Restarting gnome-shell renders guake unusable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/guake/+bug/848142/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
