Thanks a lot I'm a little busy right now, but I expect upload some package in the next weeks.bugsbunny wrote:Journey of a new GNOME 3 Debian packager | apt-get install debian-wizardalr11389 wrote:I was thinking about if I can upload any package of gnome3 to debian experimental... or only can upload it the gnome team?
If I can upload it.. how I can do it? I have compiled gnome-shell with jhbuild tool and has around 100 packages. Do I need to package and upload it?
I would like to contribute
Quoting from the article:Help is still welcome
There’s still lots of work to do, you’re welcome to do like me and join to help. Come on #debian-gnome on irc.debian.org, read the documentation and try to update a package (and ask questions when you don’t know).
Re: how to install gnome3 in debian
You probably should'nt be installing it then, right now it is in the experimental repos and it's likely you'll break something if you don't know what you're doing. At least wait until it trickles down to sid.ashickurnoor wrote:From above discussion I have not get any idea to how to install gnome 3.

Re: how to install gnome3 in debian
Do you miss the minimize button?
Try this:
$ gconf-editor
Go to "desktop - gnome - shell - windows"
On "button_layout" type, for example, ":close,minimize" if you want to put the minimize button at the right of close button and at the right of the window. If you want to put your buttons at the left like Mac OS, "minimize,close:" (the minimize button are at the left of close button). You can play with these values, only read the description on gconf-editor.
Your configuration doesn't save?
# apt-get install dconf-tools dconf-gsettings-backend
It deletes dconf, but works after restart

So libimobiledevice2 *just* became installable. This was holding up gvfs-backends which meant no network browsing in Nautilus. Looks like #620065 will be closed.

Re: how to install gnome3 in debian
A number of packages still aren't even up-to-date in experimental or sid yet, so my guess is it will still be a matter of weeks:fabrixx wrote:How long between gnome 3 comes to testing?

Re: how to install gnome3 in debian
Actually, that's unlikely. The login screen you have been using is from the package gdm3 which has been in Debian for a while and is actually from Gnome3. Check the package description:fabrixx wrote:I have installed Gnome 3 from experimental but have an old style login screen.
What packeges i have to install to have Gnome 3 login screens style?
So, if you're not using it, then install gdm3.Next generation GNOME Display Manager
GDM provides the equivalent of a "login:" prompt for X displays
...
This package contains the next generation GDM, which was developed
using the technologies on which GNOME 3 is based.

Re: how to install gnome3 in debian
Ok i will try to keep it from experimental:

Re: how to install gnome3 in debian
Gdm 3 from experimental (3.01) give me correct login:

Re: how to install gnome3 in debian
I am trying to compile the gnome-shell on testing and everything works fine except I get some sort of error I never encountered before:
Anyone else encounter this or have a solution? I am using JHBuild to be noted.

Re: how to install gnome3 in debian
I used to build gnome shell using jhbuild, this guide helped me a lot. See the Possible Error 1 section, it might help.vbrummond wrote: Anyone else encounter this or have a solution? I am using JHBuild to be noted.

Re: how to install gnome3 in debian
Thanks a lot. I know most of the workarounds. I learned I can add some sort of LDFLAG to perhaps fix this however the exact one escapes me.

fglrx ?
I have installed gnome-shell gnome3-session gdm3 and gnome-themes-standard from experimental.
Then I removed some config folders from my home directory to the it running, and finally gnome3 started.
BUT, does anyone have any experience with fglrx and gnome3? I have an xorg.conf where this is specified, but I can see in the gnome3 system-settings it is using the VESA driver, and the grapchis is kinda borked.
"VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650"
"
lxinfo |grep -i render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
GL_NV_conditional_render, GL_NV_copy_depth_to_color,
"
--edit--
I have now tried, and currently using the radeon driver instead. It is working here. Not extremely quickly, and smooth, but it is working.

Re: how to install gnome3 in debian
I had a spare hard drive, so I thought I'd see if I could get gnome3 going on it. I installed squeeze, and upgraded to wheezy. I added the unstable and experimental repos, and installed gnome-shell. But I forgot to install an nVidia binary for 3D acceleration, and now I can't get a desktop (no fallback even though gnome-session-fallback is installed). I can login in with gdm3, but then I just get wallpaper (I don't remember gnome shell having any). There is nothing in the login for me to choose what session I want neither. I'm only on mobile broadband and that won't work until Gnome network manager starts.
Before I start again, any suggestions?

Re: how to install gnome3 in debian
Turns out the .config in the home folder needs removing. I got the fallback mode ok now, but even after installing the nVidia binary blob (version 280), I can't get the shell. All I have is a black screen with a mouse cursor.
