Can you count your broken extensions?

      Are you facing an issue with Tiling Assistant, by any chance?

        Officially it should work, 45 is listed on the website. Just open the version selector.

        I haven’t updated yet, I’m waiting until tomorrow, GSConnect would be nice, I hope they release it? The PR is pulled 3 weeks ago.

      Why would you need extensions? I’m sure they listened to feedback and implemented basic functionality this time… right?

    Gnome users beware and upgrade libcue.

      Since that post was’nt available for me atm, just reposting relevant Github blog : 1-Click RCE on GNOME

      The TL;DR

      libcue is a library used for parsing cue sheets—a metadata format for describing the layout of the tracks on a CD. it’s used by tracker-miners: an application that’s included with GNOME.The index is automatically updated when you add or modify a file in certain subdirectories of your home directory, in particular including ~/Downloads. To make a long story short, that means that inadvertently clicking a malicious link is all it takes for an attacker to exploit CVE-2023-43641 and get code execution on your computer.

    I’m such an awful early adopter that I don’t mind extension breakage as long as I get the latest goodies.

    I haven’t used gnome in a while and decided to check it out again. I noticed that even though I’ve set the theme to dark apps like nautilus and gnome-control-center are always light-themed. Is that their intended behavior? If not, any ideas on what’s wrong?

      gtk3 apps need the old themeing from the tweaks app. The new option in settings only applies to gtk4 apps. Or something like that. So the theme option not affecting some apps is expected. You have to change to dark in the Tweaks app as well for backward compatibility.

      I use Night Theme Switcher which handles everything: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2236/night-theme-switcher/

      Are those apps installed as Flatpaks ?

        No they are official arch linux packages. There are no flatpak or snap packages on this system. The only AUR packages that could influence appearance on this system are the adwaita-qt* packages, but these should have no effect at all on gnome apps.

        If this is not a known issue, I guess I might have outdated options in config files or the dconf database. I’ll do a cleanup and see if it fixes it.

    It crashes beautifully. Might be an extension but I’m not eager for disappointment, I reverted the upgrade back.

    I thought we would get fractional scaling? I still only see the 100%, 200%, and 300% options in my display settings. Am I missing something or was this for a future release?

      Its been experimental for a while and can be enabled manually via some properties changes.

      It also looks like crap, they render at a lower res and scale up a bit poorly. I settled on just making my fonts scale fractionally and it looks better IMO.

        I thought Gnome fractional scaling was rendering at a higher res and then downsampling? Did they change this recently?

          Last time I checked they weren’t super sampling. If they are now they’re doing a terrible job scaling.

            Were you running X11 apps? I think there’s issues with low res on X11, but Wayland apps should be running at integer scaling and then scaling down to whatever fractional scale you’ve set it to.

        Oh ok. Yeah, I just scale my fonts too. It’s a shame since I heard from somewhere that they were going to fix that fractional scaling issue in this release, but I guess not.

      It is working fine on my setup.

    Does anyone know how to access the Image Viewer that the GNOME release notes are talking about? Right now, I have the Eye of GNOME set as my image viewer, but I was wondering if that should’ve been upgraded.

    I have two broken extensions: pop-shell and pano clipboard manager. I’ll miss pop-shell for automatic tiling big time. The other alternatives suck in comparison 😭😭😭
