Problem with installing plugin. #73

mijoharas · 2015-03-23T12:20:24Z

from .xsession-errors I have:

Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x2e00003 (GNOME Shel)
Window manager warning: meta_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed.
Window manager warning: Buggy client sent a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW message with a timestamp of 0 for 0x3000003 (GNOME Shel)
Window manager warning: meta_window_activate called by a pager with a 0 timestamp; the pager needs to be fixed.

There are other things that may be affecting it. My gnome-shell version is GNOME Shell 3.4.1 and my distro is ubuntu 12.05 LTS. any ideas?

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

mijoharas · 2015-03-23T12:27:37Z

To clarify, on clicking install on the web interface it then says error on the webpage after downloading, other plugins have been downloaded and work correctly (and putWindows works fine on my other computer).

mijoharas · 2015-03-24T15:56:22Z

confirmed this on a fresh installation. is ubuntu 12.04 LTS and gnome shell 3.4.1 supported?

negesti · 2015-03-24T16:18:47Z

3.4.1 should work.
have you tried to manually install the extension? e.g.
checkout from github,
copy/link to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/putWindow@clemens.lab21.org
enable using gnome-tweek-tool

mijoharas · 2015-03-24T16:36:19Z

I tried but it didn't work at the time. I'll try again and see whether it works, given your instructions. btw, where should I be looking for logs?

negesti · 2015-03-24T16:37:34Z

finding logs in gnome-shell is always a little bit hard.
the easiest way is to run gnome-shell from a terminal, and let it log there
e.g.
gnome-shell --replace &

the & is important ;)

mijoharas · 2015-03-24T16:57:31Z

so I get the same behaviour. I've been trying a bunch of things and can't seem to find the right logs either.

mijoharas · 2015-03-24T17:00:44Z

to be clear about the behaviour, the switch to turn it on or off does nothing, if I flip that switch (either locally or through the gnome-extensions web page) while the web-page is open I sometimes see an error symbol on the web page where there would normally be the check-box that turns it off or on. I can correctly open the settings of the application from the web-page.

I think this may actually be an error related to running rather than installation as I said before.

mijoharas · 2015-03-24T17:03:14Z

oh and running gnome-shell --replace & in a terminal (gnome-terminal) gives a bit of output but no more after that. it says:

Window manager warning: Log level 16: STACK_OP_REMOVE: window 0x5d not in stack

(gnome-shell:7450): folks-WARNING **: Failed to find primary PersonaStore with type ID 'eds' and ID 'system'.
Individuals will not be linked properly and creating new links between Personas will not work.
The configured primary PersonaStore's backend may not be installed. If you are u

and then gets cut off by the next input line and doesn't log any further.

negesti · 2015-03-25T08:09:03Z

very strange. i will install a virtual machine and try your setup.

negesti · 2015-03-25T08:31:01Z

how did you install gnome-shell? just apt-get install gnome-shell (from universe)

mijoharas · 2015-03-25T09:45:32Z

sudo apt-get install gnome hadn't made any changes to apt-get settings so I assume it's universe (I come from another distro, so not intimately familiar with apt-get).

Oh and one small thing, I assumed it shouldn't matter, but I kept lightdm rather than replacing it with gdm. I'm think since they're login managers it shouldn't make a difference, but thought I'd mention it.

negesti · 2015-03-26T09:34:03Z

installed a vm (with really bad graphic performance) and tested it.

The current develop version doesn't work. However you can checkout v15 and everything should be fine. Note, that in v15 the extension files are in a subfolder, you have to update your symbolic link

asuming you have checkout the repo into ~/workspace/gnome-shell-extensions-negesti

        git checkout v15
        ln -s ~/workspace/gnome-shell-extensions-negesti/putWindow\@clemens.lab21.org ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

restart the shell (alt + F2 -> r -> enter) and it should work

negesti · 2015-03-26T10:52:19Z

ok found it, develop should work now

mijoharas · 2015-03-26T12:13:46Z

hmm... that worked... not sure why it didn't work before. Thanks for the help, closing this. 👍

mijoharas · 2015-03-26T12:15:32Z

Oh, one more question, is it possible to move fullscreen windows to another screen (e.g. make window fullscreen with F12 and then Super+Shift+Right to move it)?

negesti · 2015-03-27T09:46:57Z

just found a problem with the padding calculation. you should pull the new version

mijoharas · 2015-03-27T10:12:18Z

Thanks!

mijoharas · 2015-03-27T10:41:39Z

Hmmm, not sure I should have closed this, I can't get it to work with develop, but can with v15. Just to eliminate me as a potential source of messing things up I'll show you what I did (there are also some bugs compared to how it works on my other machine, I'll document them here just in case that helps to figure things out). for develop, to install I do:

rm -rf ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/*
git clone git@github.com:negesti/gnome-shell-extensions-negesti.git
cd gnome-shell-extensions-negesti
git co develop
cd ..
cp gnome-shell-extensions-negesti ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/putWindow@clemens.lab21.org
# reset gnome-shell with `Alt-F2` then `r`
gnome-tweak-tool
# enable put windows plugin

This does not work (it seems enabled, but I cannot use the plugin, I tend to test with Super+Shift+Left or right, which doesn't work).
to install v15 which works for me (with caveats, see below) I did:

rm -rf ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/*
cd gnome-shell-extensions-negesti
git co v15
cp putWindow@clemens.lab21.org ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
# reset gnome-shell with `Alt-F2` then `r`
gnome-tweak-tool
# enable put windows plugin

So v15 doesn't work perfectly for me. I can do Super+Shift+Right and left, but only if the window is not already snapped to a side (with Super+Right). It can be moved between screens when maximised, but only if it hasn't been snapped to the side first.

mijoharas · 2015-03-27T10:44:59Z

I feel like I could be more helpful if I could give you logs, but as I said, gnome-shell --replace & does successfully replace the shell in the background, but doesn't log to the gnome-terminal after a few lines (always looks cut off). Let me know if there is another way to get logs, or if I'm doing something wrong.

73 · 2015-03-27T10:49:29Z

The extension does not work with snapped windows. Its a known issue.

ok, thanks. I've done a little more digging, looking into what's happening in my setup. It still doesn't work in develop, it does enable, it doesn't emit any errors (in looking-glass).

Ok, scratch that, it does emit errors, looking glass just handily lies to me and says it doesn't. I figured out the gnome-shell --replace & thing, (my modeline was overwriting it or something, I get output once I removed my .zshrc) The error I get is:

    JS ERROR: !!!   Exception was: TypeError: global.screen.get_monitor_index_for_rect is not a function
    JS ERROR: !!!     lineNumber = '327'

…ble for 3.4 #73

should be fixed.
feature back ported ;)

mijoharas · 2015-03-27T14:45:52Z

almost, I can now go from my left screen to my right screen, but not vice-versa 😄.

negesti · 2015-03-30T16:39:46Z

The problem is now that the way animations are initialized has changed since 3.4.

I will check that...

Sry for the many trial and error runs. But it's really hard to test it in my ***** vm. Btw why do you want to use ubuntu 12?

mijoharas · 2015-03-30T16:41:49Z

required for my job. 😒.

mijoharas · 2015-03-30T16:44:56Z

but thanks for helping to support me with the plugin, if there's anything I can do to help let me know. I've not worked with gnome-extensions much, but I know javascript pretty well, so if you can explain how to go about debugging it I'll try and help.

negesti · 2015-03-30T17:04:21Z

Every thing works expect the animation when chaning the focus.

Quick fix, disable it by commenting flashWindow in _activateWindow.

A little bit harder is to find out a way to make Flashapot work with 3.4 e.g. find an alternative for actor.set_pivot_point. Best shot would by looking glas and inspecting an actor (alt + f2 - lg). Or find an other extenstion rhat uses animation an copy with prid ;)

negesti · 2015-03-31T07:11:32Z

ok, removed the call to set_pivot_point. Animation still works and i can move the focus in 3.2

mijoharas · 2015-03-31T08:58:43Z

I still have problems with this, I can go still go in one direction (from left screen to right) but still cannot go in the other direction, it appears to "try" to move (you see the same things happening to other windows) but it will not move.

There don't appear to be any errors emitted. How do I inspect an actor in looking glass? once I can get myself oriented w.r.t. debugging maybe I can help a little more. 😄 .

One interesting point is that I tried moving the displays to be in the other orientation (put the left on the right and vice versa) and I could still only move from the screen to the left to the screen to the right (which are now different screens), except now it emits an error. I'm not sure if this is a valid error though, as I changed the orientation of the screen while gnome-shell was still running (but it does still get emitted after a shell restart (Alt-F2 r)). Error is below:

mijoharas · 2015-03-31T09:00:16Z

To reiterate, not sure if the error is a "real one" as it is after a screen reconfiguration.

negesti · 2015-03-31T10:10:31Z

that was a copy past error..
I can move the focus between two windows on the same screen. I tried to attach a second screen to my vm but failed...

mijoharas · 2015-03-31T10:58:33Z

Ok, I'll try and get a debugging setup going and send a PR if I can fix it. Thanks for your help. 😄
