Gnome 3 -The switch!

[dedanna1029]

I have the some network problems. Sometimes the network is not started and I cannot find anything in the menus that helps at all - (that is bad). So I have to do a

Code: Select all

 ifconfig eth0 <ip> netmask 255.255.255.0

and

Code: Select all

route add default gw 10.0.0.1

That does start the network even if the network indicator in Gnome3 does not show up.

Access Network Connects

1. Press alt+f2

2. Enter (without apostrophes) 'nm-connection-editor'

3. Press 'Enter'

Any love with that?

Also, you didn't need to go to the hassle of AWN for gnome-session-properties (unless you really happen to like it). It's still in the Applications menu under "Other", just that it's unticked in there, so it doesn't show up in the menu. Right-click "Applications", go to "Edit menus", scroll to "Other", and highlight it on the left. On the right, scroll to "Startup Applications", and put a check mark by it. It will show up in the Applications, then "Other" menu once you close that out.

You really need to be specific when you talk about Gnome3. I use the Gnome3-SHELL and there are no "applications" there to right click.
Thanks for the other tips I have tried them. The best thing is to add the ArchLinux Daemon Manager to the favorites and just restart networkmanager.
For some reason that Manager stands as loaded -on some occasions- in the daemons, when it is not!
I have backgrounded it in rc.conf, and that could be it, but I will take the speed any day and do the occasional restart.

[dedanna1029]

Definitely.

There is a way to get the Applications menu to replace the Activities one...

Gnome 3 just lost ALL credibility with me, so I am hereby out of this discussion, and no longer updating anything at all until I can figure out either what alternative OS I want to run, or what alternative WM to run, one of the two. NO respect or love whatsoever here. Fedora 15? Nope.

What has been annoying me is the lack of minimize and maximize button on the windows in gnome shell. Some sanctimonious DH has decided that I don't need them. While Gnome3 is just fine; I really dislike that attitude
So I had to tweak them back:
Open the configuration app (gconf-editor) and pick desktop->gnome->shell->windows
edit button_layout to look like this:

Code: Select all

:minimize,maximize,close

Now they are back!

Been there tried that, bought the farm.

Ended up with Emerald on Compiz. Staying with that (when I use it, which is very rarely right now).

[viking60]

Yes in fallback mode you don't have to do anything because it is there - I think.

[dedanna1029]

No, it isn't in fallback mode without compiz or anything.

It's there in my Emerald theme though.

[viking60]

Ah ok the tweak must have worked both ways then.

[dedanna1029]

It's always been there with Emerald. Ever since 2.x, whatever. That Emerald theme that I use just happens to have those buttons. If I'm not using it though, I don't have them (which is why I rely on it now to do what I need it to do when I'm in Gnome3).

Hmm In the address bar of Nautilus I have always been able to ssh into other computers with ssh://some_pc/ Now I get a ssh error message. It is like fish://some-pc in KDE.
This is new in Gnome3 - Probably some dev. has decided that I don't need it again.
It works perfectly fine in CLI so this must be a Nautilus thing.
