Online Accounts - Google Drive
by wgelpi＠redhat.com 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

At present I'm on Fedora 25 (Gnome 3.22.2) with all updates applied. I'm using a Lenovo T440s with 12GB of RAM. I am experiencing spotty reliability when trying to connect to Google Drive via Online Accounts. I have had success mounting the "drive" and gaining access to my documents. However, I do not have success when trying to "Print to PDF", for example, and saving to Google Drive folder. I don't experience any error messages, but it just eventually times out. Anyone else experiencing this or know of any bugs logged for this that I can follow?

Distro policy regarding GNOME shell extensions
by Alexander Ploumistos 17 Feb '17

17 Feb '17

Hello, Some time ago (not really sure when) the GNOME shell integration Firefox add-on stopped working. That made it impossible to install or update extensions from extensions.gnome.org and users had to either settle for the extensions provided by GNOME software or hunt down zipped packages from the extension creators and install them manually. Then internet posts started appearing, telling people to install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/gnome-shell-integration/ which obsoletes the Fedora-provided add-on of the same name and which also requires Fedora users enabling a copr repo and installing the connector. However, the version of the connector in copr is buggy and crashes firefox on shutdown. Even the current github snapshot has its issues, e.g. on startup you get these messages: firefox.desktop[30690]: 1486903163318 addons.webextension.chrome-gnome-shell(a)gnome.org WARN Loading extension 'chrome-gnome-shell(a)gnome.org': Reading manifest: Error processing background.persistent: Event pages are not currently supported. This will run as a persistent background page. firefox.desktop[30690]: 1486903163324 addons.webextension.chrome-gnome-shell(a)gnome.org WARN Loading extension 'chrome-gnome-shell(a)gnome.org': Reading manifest: Error processing author: An unexpected property was found in the WebExtension manifest. firefox.desktop[30690]: 1486903163325 addons.webextension.chrome-gnome-shell(a)gnome.org WARN Loading extension 'chrome-gnome-shell(a)gnome.org': Reading manifest: Error processing externally_connectable: An unexpected property was found in the WebExtension manifest. firefox.desktop[30690]: 1486903163325 addons.webextension.chrome-gnome-shell(a)gnome.org WARN Loading extension 'chrome-gnome-shell(a)gnome.org': Reading manifest: Error processing optional_permissions: An unexpected property was found in the WebExtension manifest. and it too leads to Firefox crashes, albeit fewer and farther between. Has there been any "official" recommendation regarding this situation? I have been getting input from users frustrated because either they can't update their extensions or their Firefox crashes whenever they close it. Given that Workstation comes with GNOME and that GNOME extensions are really important to the user experience, we can't have a semi-official, un-reviewed package popping up to provide core functionality, halfway through a stable release. Best regards

Pagure repo for WG issues
by Paul W. Frields 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

I went ahead and imported the old Fedorahosted repo for Workstation WG issues to Pagure, since FH is being sunsetted soon. The new repo is located here: https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation The Issues tab contains our old tickets. These probably need refresh, but the first step was getting them to a supported app. When I get a chance, I'll create a README.md for the repo as well, so it's easier for people to understand what to do (and not do) with it. -- Paul W.
