GNOME 3.36.1 megaupdate is in updates-testing
by Kalev Lember 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

Hi all, GNOME 3.36.1 megaupdate just landed in F32 updates-testing last night. Would be awesome if people could test it and karma the update (https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-ed25e0cdcb) and also help fix up any issues that might come up. F32 final freeze starts next Tuesday so we should try to get this to stable before that. -- Thanks, Kalev

any shell extensions preferences can't be opened unless "gnome-extensions-app" is installed first
by Kamil Paral 01 Apr '20

01 Apr '20

Hello, in F32, if you install gnome-shell extension through a web browser or dnf and then want to display its configuration (a wrench icon next to it at https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ ), or if you want to configure some of the pre-installed extensions like background-logo, nothing happens after you click on the button. No configuration is displayed. You need to install gnome-extensions-app [1], which fixes the configuration dialogs, and you can finally display them (even from a web browser). Or you can install gnome-tweaks, which pulls gnome-extensions-app as a dependency. In the out-of-the-box state, though, you can't display configuration and it's not clear why. This seems like a use case that was not considered, and it looks broken from user PoV. I can see the following fixes: a) Include the ability to show extension dialogs directly to gnome-shell (that was the case in F31), and only distribute the application file in gnome-extensions-app. It seems that all that needs to happen is to move /usr/bin/gnome-shell-extension-prefs from gnome-extensions-app package to gnome-shell package. b) Install gnome-extensions-app by default (not ideal, people can uninstall it and it breaks the dialogs, that is obscure behavior) c) Make chrome-gnome-shell require gnome-extensions-app. This will fix the web browser use case. Note, chrome-gnome-shell is installed by default, so this would make gnome-extensions-app also installed by default. Only a) fixes all use cases, I believe. Because extensions themselves can have a button to show their configuration, I believe. If I remove gnome-extensions-app, which looks to be a *manager* for extensions, I wouldn't expect it to break the ability to show extensions preferences. But it will, unless a) is done. Which of the options is preferable? Or some other option? I'll file a bug according to your recommendation. It would be really great if you could fix this before F32 Final release. Kamil [1] I don't see "Extensions" app in gnome-software in a clean installation, only in an upgraded one. Why, I don't know - but this brokenness is very regular in gnome-software. A new user can't install it easily, though, that's the point.

f32 beta and volume beeps
by Matthew Miller 01 Apr '20

01 Apr '20

Hi everyone! In previous Fedora Workstation / GNOME, pressing the volume up or down keys would cause a beep at the new level. This doesn't seem to happen for me after an upgrade. I'm pretty sure it previously happened even with "System Sounds" set to off, but in any case, I've now turned those on and still get no beeps. (The buttons still work, and I get the visual indicator, but no audible one.) Is this an intentional change? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader
