I am getting "an error occurred while loading this extension" in Extension Manager for Fly-Pie. It started and is loaded and everything seems to work fine. I am able to make and use menus and all that. I have been searching for like an hour and JavaScript and HTML keep coming up. I can not find anything that would help fix the error even though it doesn't seem to have issues. Any help is appreciated submitted by /u/dragon2777 [link] [comments]

I have a pretty bog standard install of Fedora 41 Workstation with GNOME 47 using version 48 of the Night Theme Switcher GNOME extension. If it matters, I'm using Wayland. I figure I'm missing something obvious since I don't see any other reports of this issue online. Maybe the extension might be pulling my time zone from a specific file that I don't know about, or the Fedora installer writes the time zone at the time of installation to a file and the extension uses that. Behaviour It's 11:00 in the morning here, but Night Theme Switcher has night mode enabled right now. Things I've tried Toggling the extension off and on Removing and installing the extension Specifying my shell and extension version to install When I run timedatectl, I see my RTC is set to UTC and my local time zone is correct The offset in the extension's hidden settings are set to the default 0.4 Since automatic location isn't available, I manually set my coordinates in the extension's hidden settings and confirmed that they're correct. submitted by /u/jstncrdible [link] [comments]

Not sure if this is a gnome issue or not but hopefully someone can help. I'm using Arch Linux and gnome. For some reason automatic suspend after a timer doesn't work. The screen doe go blank after 5 minutes and locks, but even though the power settings is set to suspend after 15 minutes nothing happens. I can manually wake and suspend the pc, and the power button that's set to suspend also works fine when pressed. It just won't sleep automatically for some reason. I have caffeine installed but it's off, otherwise the screen wouldn't lock, and the power thing is set to balanced. I used to have Plasma on this computer but i had enough and removed it and installed gnome back without reinstalling the entire system. Sleep worked normally there and i was thorough when removing it. The only other DE besides gnome installed is COSMIC, but I'm not sure it has sleep functions yet, i dont use it that much. submitted by /u/Veprovina [link] [comments]

Coming from yaru(ubuntu), not really looking to stick with it though. I love adwaita, all other themes are way worse in most factors. My only problem is that adwaita “dark” is best described as light gray. Is there any untouched adwaita recolors that are darker(or even completely black)? submitted by /u/Kilgarragh [link] [comments]

For some reason, no matter how many unread emails there are, Betterbird (fork of Thunderbird but without the telemetry and with some other improvements) always shows "3" in the dock icon badge. Is there an easy way to make it show the actual unread email count? (This does appear to be a Gnome specific issue). submitted by /u/newcomms [link] [comments]

Add picture does not open file manager, image viewer can't set background, and gnome-tweaks doesn't open file manager. Any advice? (I did change my file manager from Nautilus to Nemo a while back.) submitted by /u/Tadpoles911 [link] [comments]

Is it just me or does GDM need a serious facelift. submitted by /u/mecnola [link] [comments]

This seems like a basic feature but I am not sure if it exists. You can create custom shortcuts in "GNOME Settings: Keyboard: View and Customize Shortcuts: Custom Shortcuts". Those shortcuts have commands. I need to pass the current user's home directory path to one of those custom commands WITHOUT HARDCODING IT MYSELF. Like "somecommand "%home/Pictures"". Is there some way to do it? --- I have tried and failed all these in the keyboard settings Command field, none of them get expanded: ~/foo $HOME/foo --- Edit: The only solution seems to be to launch a shell to do the parameter expansion. So setting the command to any of these works: sh -c 'notify-send "$HOME/Pictures"' sh -c 'notify-send "$(xdg-user-dir PICTURES)"' The xdg-user-dir solution is better because it works internationally with all languages. Thanks meskobalazs for this idea. submitted by /u/pilkyton [link] [comments]

I'm setting up a .desktop file for an appimage (bambu labs studio). The file is created, and working save for one thing. The base icon pinned to my dock is correct but WHEN I run the app it appears as a separate generic icon. What steps do I need to set the icon on the active/running app? https://preview.redd.it/qhyxe9jjut1e1.png?width=176&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba6dda13e2bfe8af08e62a095d3b2bd1bc23ca9c submitted by /u/fliberdygibits [link] [comments]

EDIT: they don't work when launched from GNOME's launcher either. EDIT2: I've deleted the launcher, confirmed that chrome no longer shows in the app overview, recreated the launcher (with the flags) and confirmed that now chrome shows, and launched it—this suggests it's actually referencing the .desktop file with the flags. But the flags are not active. EDIT3: I've created an entirely new minimal custom launcher with nothing but the minimum required details and the exec line that includes the flag. It launches chrome WITHOUT the flags. This is so weird because gtk-launch menulibre-new-launcher DOES use the flags—confirming further that the .desktop files are functional, but the flags are somehow being ignored when launched via icons. EDIT4: vanilla arch, gnome, wayland EDIT5: Also tried making the Exec line just act as a wrapper that calls a custom script which explicitly uses /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --enable-features=TouchpadOverscrollHistoryNavigation %U which we know works—it still doesn't work. At this point I'm totally lost. 🤷‍♂️🫨🤯 Running gtk-launch google-chrome from a terminal will launch chrome using the Exec line from /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop: Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --enable-features=TouchpadOverscrollHistoryNavigation %U But pinning the resulting icon, then launching chrome using that icon never launches with the flags. submitted by /u/Virtamancer [link] [comments]

hey! encountered this weird issue after fresh arch install. could you help me fix it? the thing is, whenever i go into "suspend" mode, the system crashes, it becomes unresponsive. this happens whenever i close the lid of my laptop, wait 5 minutes until the screen goes dark or press the power button. my system: freshly installed arch with gnome and gdm (literally no other packages aside from telegram and firefox), no drivers updated, no extensions installed, no settings tweaked. i use Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ACH6H, it has Nvidia RTX3060, 32GiB of RAM, allocated 4GiB for swap (i've heard that my swap being too small might be the issue with hibernation not working, but suspend..?). output of sudo journalctl -b: https://pastebin.com/ETfffQSe submitted by /u/Desperate_Price_5429 [link] [comments]

Hello! tl/dr: Which version of what do I need to make GUI apps with GTK and Glade in C#, or should I be using something else? Ive been using C# with Unity3D and Godot over the last few years on Ubuntu 22.04. After a break Im easing back into coding by looking to learn somehing new, making desktop apps. I was lead to GTK and Glade using C#, which as a combo seem to be exactly what Im looking for. After many hours, Im able to build a GTK .cs file, I can use Glade. But getting them to work together I keep hitting roadbloacks. I have Glade 3.40.0 setup to use GTK 3.24, and have GTK 3.24.33-1ubuntu2.2. Trying to follow the below tutorial (sorry, Reddit wont let me link), currently having errors and really hoping to get to the creating and coding part. https://www.mono-project.com/docs/gui/gtksharp/beginners-guide/ Sorry If this post is vague, but as Ive messed around Ive gone from one lot of terminal errors to another. Can post current errors/give more details after work. This post is big enough for now. Thank you for any ideas/directions submitted by /u/_RandomOne [link] [comments]

I recently just downloaded Nobara GNOME version, and I like the UI so far and how customizable the UI is, but I have a huge issue that I can't seem to resolve How do I make my lid when shutdown, just turns off the screen and not suspend it? I've tried Caffeine extension editing logind.config And still the same issue. submitted by /u/SakataZeby97 [link] [comments]

I think I'm encountering a possible bug with GNOME 47 on my Fedora laptop. It seems that whenever a new desktop notification appears, it will wake the display from sleep and prevent it returning to sleep until I've dismissed the notification. My settings are to blank the screen after a suitable interval, but not to automatically lock after blanking. I've had it set this way for a couple of years and not seen this issue before. Now, I frequently return to my laptop to find the screen awake and a notification popup sitting at the top of the GNOME desktop. If I re-enable automatic screen lock or deliberately lock the desktop with Super+L, any new notifications cause the display to wake up to the lock screen, but after about 15 seconds it goes back to sleep again, which seems to be normal behaviour. Has anyone else observed this issue? I know I'll need to report it through more official channels if it's to be looked at by the developers, but I wanted to find out if I was the only one seeing it. submitted by /u/ChunkyBezel [link] [comments]

How to have the (one and only) user automatically selected upon login like in image 2? Not talking about auto-login (which is the only Google result throws back at me). Simply just auto selected as displayed in the image. i.e. I want to skip the first unnecessary step as in image 1. Also, how to have default workspace (image 3) automatically selected? On Ubuntu 24.04, x11, Gnome 46. Any suggestion appreciated https://preview.redd.it/daa4x8h1sp1e1.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76ceccf697c32548270b2936efbef84b108faff4 submitted by /u/Hfnankrotum [link] [comments]

What I want it to look like: I did this by swiping from a workspace that doesn't have a fullscreen window What it looks like right now: I did this by swiping down and holding with three fingers on the trackpad I noticed that Ubuntu has the desired behavior, but I'm using vanilla gnome with Debian now and want to add it back so I can see the time in windows that are white on the top. Is there an extension that does this? submitted by /u/jcouch210 [link] [comments]

I have a Surface Pro 3 running Fedora 41 and Gnome 47. The physical keyboard is detachable, and also folds all the way back, so I can use it as a tablet. Sometimes the OSK pops up when I have activated a text input area, but not always. I am looking for a Quick Setting to toggle Tablet Mode, so Gnome knows the physical keyboard is not an option, or a Gnome Extension so I can toggle the OSK to pop up. I have tried a few extensions, but they have not been compatible with Gnome 47, even when I modify the metadata.json file to include "47". submitted by /u/dharborne [link] [comments]
