Description

Hi, after the latest update (2019-05-03) I got some of the features of Gnome broken on my laptop. Here is the about, for quick setup:

After the mentioned update these features, along with others, got messed:

  • Windows are overlaying each other when in activities overview, instead of being arranged side-by-side
  • Windows close button themed as cartoon-ish in activities overview

  • When waking from suspend, the wallpaper gets a noisy modulation, especially in the activities overview, but also in the logging screen

Among other issues I can't remember now.

I tried to rollback using sudo eopkg history -t number where number is the previous update. But I got this:

System error. Program terminated.
Repo item gnome-themes-standard-32bit not found

It does not appear that you did a full upgrade as:

  1. The window button issue was fixed in an Plata update that we have.
  2. "When waking from suspend, the wallpaper gets a noisy modulation, especially in the activities overview, but also in the logging screen" - This was already reported on the meta task.
  3. No you can't rollback because there was package renames.

Using the package manager seems like I am up to date, as you can see in the below screenshots. Can you point me how I can fix it?

No you can't rollback because there was package renames.

Is there any fixes then?

Regarding the window button issue maybe a sudo usysconf run --force, possibly combined with logging out and in again, can help? (I know I had to run that command to fix some of the icons after the update)

JoshStrobl claimed this task.

I'm not sure why you re-opened this.

  1. The Plata issue was already fixed. One of the generally recommended / suggested steps is to run `sudo usysconf run -f', as noticed for when you also have issues with icons.
  2. The noisy background was already reported in the meta-task, keep it there. I only noticed that this occurs when one is using Electron-based applications, whether or not they're fullscreen, minimize, only in tray, etc. It was an issue before the stack upgrade. My only suggestions while I try to determine what in Mutter is causing the issue (because it affects Budgie as well) is to close all your Electron-based applications before suspending, or just simply restart GNOME Shell using Alt+F then r for restart. Budgie users just restart their WM.
  3. There is no solution for rolling back because rolling this back is not supported. We renamed a package, the only I already remarked on and you're once again pointing out. The index doesn't get rolled back, only the releases of specific packages, and therefore if the package no longer exists or is renamed, it isn't supported.
This task has been locked.
