After release gnome 3.26.1 budgie desktop not start

[Ste74]

Operating System: Manjaro
Budgie version: 10.4

The issue encountered
budgie not start but revert on gnome this happen with gnome 3.26.1
Any idea @ikeydoherty

[ikeydoherty]

Lot of Arch people complaining about this. The Arch Budgie package is not properly maintained, and I don't know what package you're using in Manjaro - need details and logs please.

[olback]

Yeah, stopped working for me as well. I'd love to send the logs your way if only i knew where to look.

Distro: Antergos (Arch based)
Budgie Desktop v10.3.1-2 wont work at all. When logging in the screen just goes black and I get thrown back to the login screen.

Budgie Desktop v10.4 works a little bit better. After opening and closing one application the background disappears and comes back. Opening and closing an application one more time crashes Budgie and i have to login again.

Edit: Only crashing when closing maximized applications.

[tam1m]

You need to compile budgie-desktop against libmutter-1. The repo version does not work with the new libmutter after the gnome 3.26.1 update

Edit: closing maximized applications still crash as described by @olback

Same here:
package budgie-desktop 10.3.1-2:
instant crash and return to login
package budgie-desktop-git v10.4.r6.g9e2cc0f2-1:
Can login but closing maximized windows make it crash (sometime it arrive when opening).
Beside the crash their is cool new features...

[ikeydoherty]

What if you disable animations..?

[olback]

@ikeydoherty Did not help, are there logfiles we can provide?

[Ste74]

@tam1m I can re push mutter 3.26 instead 3.26.1 and rebuild budgie if this help

[philmmanjaro]

Maximized window issue was introduced with mutter/gnome-shell 3.26.1. So we have to see which commit created that mess. @Ste74: simply downgrading a package makes no sense. Better do a git-bisect to find the commit. If you turnoff animations via Tweaks, then crashing whilst maximised/tiled does not occur (or at least much harder to invoke a crash).

[Ste74]

Ok i can manage with this this evening ;)

Same issue with LightDM:
Distro: Arch
Budgie Desktop 10.3.1-2
Display manager: LightDM 1:1.22.0-1

I reported the bug yesterday. It's a shame that Budgie is not properly maintained on Arch Linux :(

[branchard]

So, do you have a solution for now ?
I had to install Mate Desktop to work this morning. What a waste of time ...

[Ste74]

If you turnoff animations via Tweaks, then crashing whilst maximised/tiled does not occur (or at least much harder to invoke a crash).

Temporary solution waiting finding the regression

[JeanBarriere]

Hi !
Same issue at first, but when i disabled the animations, it launches now with gnome topbar.
It does not crash but budgie does not launch.

[branchard]

Did you try with Budgie AUR?

[JeanBarriere]

@branchard Yes I tried but it does not compile anymore:

Project name: gvc
Native C compiler: cc (gcc 7.2.0)
Native dependency libpulse found: YES 11.1
Native dependency libpulse-mainloop-glib found: YES 11.1

Meson encountered an error in file subprojects/gvc/meson.build, line 31, column 0:
Sandbox violation: Tried to grab file gvc-channel-map.c from a different subproject.

A full log can be found at ....../src/budgie-desktop-git/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

[ikeydoherty]

Kinda looks like you're doing something janky with the packaging and not using our release tarballs

[JeanBarriere]

I use the following command : yaourt -S budgie-desktop-git
So I'm not doing anything weird with the package.

[ArtyomFR]

Same issue at first, but when i disabled the animations, it launches now with gnome topbar.

Same issue as me I think. We see budgie trying to start but crash directly.

Yes I tried but it does not compile anymore

I manage to compile it with meson from the 29th september.

[JeanBarriere]

I followed Brad Ford instructions on this bug https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/55906

HOWEVER, if you have recently updated meson (meson-0.43.0-1), the build will fail with the error:

# Meson encountered an error in file subprojects/gvc/meson.build, line 31, column 0:
# Sandbox violation: Tried to grab file gvc-channel-map.c from a different subproject.

If this happens, you will need to downgrade meson to meson-0.42.1-2 (or older). If you are lucky, you may have the old package in your package cache:

# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/meson-0.43.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

So I downgraded meson to version 0.42.1-3 and retried to install budgie-desktop-git version : it works.

[santisteban]

I can confirm that Brad instructions worked for me too.

After downgrading meson to meson-0.42.1-3 I uninstalled budgie-desktop with pacman (using -R), then installed budgie-desktop-git with pacaur (using -S).

I also have animations disabled and I have yet to experience a crash.

Arch Linux x86_64
budgie-desktop v10.4-6-g9e2cc0f2

[alunux]

@JeanBarriere @santisteban You can build the latest master branch using meson 0.43.0, now.

[Ste74]

Solved with mutter 3.26.1-2
