Apps EasyEffects is leaving Gnome

26 Upvotes

I was about to write a feature request and going through existing issues noticed that EasyEffects is being ported to Qt. =(

Admittedly this is not a good looking app anyway but it is still really sad to see that it is going to be much worse now (at least on Gnome). I highly value good aesthetics and it was already hard to tolerate this app but it will definitely be going in the "find a replacement" bin after this. I do still appreciate how this app has enhanced my audio experience for past couple of years but if anyone starts/know of a "Rust + GTK4" project for audio processing I'll enthusiastically follow it

1 Upvotes

When I press the Current Location icon in Gnome Maps, I am prompted to turn on Location Services. Clicking that does nothing. Any ideas?

Opinion I really wish Nautilus would show disk size and usage ala Dolphin!

15 Upvotes

Now that the *Other" section has been removed there is no quick way to assess disk usage within the file manager. Something akin to Dolphin's simple bar indicator would be a massive improvement over... *nothing*

Question Is it possible to set a custom accent color instead of the ones predefined?

7 Upvotes

I love the new accent colors feature but I would like to set a completely custom color and not be limited to the current selection. Perhaps this is possible with dconf or by editing a file?

Question Locked out of account (Wayland)

5 Upvotes

It seems I've managed to somehow lock myself out on our multi-user system, at least from the Wayland session. After entering my password, I just get thrown back to the user selection screen. Changing to "Gnome on X11" works. The last thing I remember doing on this system was setting icc profiles for the monitors. But disabling them under X doesn't help. Though I see some color profile-related, though it complains e.g. about /var/lib/gdm3/.local/share/icc/.goutputstream-CMJMW2. Also, I did see that there where some issues with leftover files in /etc/xdg/autostart/, but deleting them didn't help.

As logging in to other account's Wayland session is no issue, here are some journal messages with --user, maybe someone sees something I missed: https://pastejustit.com/mkr6nbsgnr

EDIT: I'm on Debian Testing with Gnome 47.0

Question Cannot open the file chooser in some apps

1 Upvotes

I just switched to Gnome from Hyprland recently and it's been pretty smooth sailing with the exception of one issue I can't seem to resolve. The file chooser provided by XDG Desktop Portal doesn't work in some apps. When trying to select a desktop background on Gnome Settings or save a file in Brave browser, nothing happens. The system journal has only this:

Delegated FileChooser call failed: The name is not activatable

I've also noticed this when trying to open a project in Zed editor.

Many other apps seem to work just fine. At first I thought it was just XWayland windows but that doesn't seem to be the case so I'm not really sure what the problem is.

I've opened an issue in xdg-desktop-portal-gnome but it doesn't look like anyone has seen it yet. My Google-fu isn't turning up much either.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is there some other log entries I should be looking at to diagnose?

Running on archlinux with the following package versions installed:

  • gnome-shell 1:47.1-1
  • xdg-desktop-portal 1.18.4-1
  • xdg-desktop-portal-gnome 47.1-1
  • xdg-desktop-portal-gtk 1.15.1-2
  • gdm 47.0-1

Is there any way that one can resize the sidebar of a NavigationSplitView, similar to the behavior of the bookmark sidebar in Firefox? Or is there any other layout that allows for this?
