Fedora :: Can't Log In After Installing Gnome 3 Extensions
Aug 16, 2011
I installed Fedora 15, fresh install, today. Then I installed several Gnome Shell extensions along with Gnome Do through the package manager. I logged out, and tried logging back in. Received the Gnome Shell error message, "Fatal error" and was told to try again. Get taken back to login window.
I tried logging in as "root" so I could uninstall the packages I installed, but apparently you can't do that in Fedora. What's the best course of action?

I was watching a friend of mine install PHP on SuSE with YaST, and it appeared as though he was able to select the various extensions he wanted compiled into PHP for installation. I didn't know this was possible, I thought you pretty much had to take whatever extensions whoever built the package decided to include. Is it possible with CentOS to install PHP with a custom selection of extensions?

GNOME 3 issues, I got everything figured out and was trying to get some extensions installed. I successfully installed the alternative shutdown menu and the applications menu. I tried to install alternate-tab and user-theme and they both caused gnome3 to boot into IceWM...I removed all the folders from /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions and home/<user>/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions and it fixed it. I read somewhere about them being outdated if a GNOME 3 update was released.
The two extensions I did install were from New GNOME Shell Extensions That Provide A GNOME2-Like User Experience ~ Web Upd8: Ubuntu / Linux blog and not the GNOME 3 website. The extensions that crashed GNOME were from all over, INCLUDING the GNOME website. I'd like to get the system monitor and a weather applet in the panel and the alternate-tab and change themes but I can't find any that work. [URL]. I tried to use the themeselector extension from here and I think another one or two, however, they were also a few that crashed my GNOME...

The gnome-shell-extensions have been accepted into the stable repository and should appear soon along with an updated gnome-shell. Now, if you installed the extensions for my factory branch whilst I was working on the extensions, you need to remove the repository and remove the installed packages as there have been some name changes to the extensions. I don't recommend the xrandr extension, it will crash the shell! If you do try it, you only need to do a ctrl+alt+F1 and login as root user and zypper rm, logout and ctrl+alt+F7 and login.

Does anyone know of a way to perform a search for multiple file extensions at once in Gnome? I know that M$ Windows Explorer had this capability, but I'm just not sure how to do it in Gnome, or if it's possible. I just want to be able to perform searches for Video, Music, and Document file types, without having to perform a separate search for each file extension. Example: When doing a search for Video file types (.avi,.mp4,.mov,.wma, etc.), I would like to do one search for all files that have these file extensions, instead of doing one search for .avi files, a second search for .mp4 files, another for .mov files, etc.

I'm using Debian Jessie and I'm trying to install some Gnome Shell Extensions from this site: [URL] .....
I click on the extension and it shows a button that I can turn ON or OFF. It's OFF by default. Then I click it, it turns ON and I'm asked if I want to download and install that extension. I say Yes! But then nothing happens. If I visit "Installed extensions" session, it says there are no extensions installed. And if I refresh the extension page, the ON button becomes OFF again. No matter how many times I try to do this, the result is the same. I tryed it with Iceweasel (v. 24.2.0) and Google Chrome (v. 32.0.1700.77) and default gnome-shell (v. 3.8.4).

I have a directory of a load of files without extensions. I know what the filetype should be, so is there any way of batch renaming the files to append a given extension onto it. i.e. text would be renamed as text.txt?

I recently decided to install xfce-desktop as a fallback alternative whenever Gnome 3 has problems. Now I have the Thunar file manager opening up by default even when logged into Gnome (for example when using Alt-F2 and typing in a folder name, or when plugging in an iPod.) I've searched around for days but can't find any place to set a default file manager. The Default Applications dialogue doesn't include file manager, only web browser, video etc.)

I wanna see the wifi signal strength.But when i run the command iwconfig , it tells me 'no wireless extensions'.By googling I found that I need to enable config option CONFIG_NET_RADIO.I see that this has to be done in boot which has config files.So I typed the command grep CONFIG_NET_RADIO /boot/<config-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686> (my fedora version is 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686).But I got the error as "bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' ".I dont know the reason.I also want to know if I have to install driver(ndiswrapper)for viewing wireless signal strength.I thought that the drivers will present default(am not sure).

In Xorg.0.log, if you have an extension disabled in the configuration file, you will see: (**) Extension DAMAGE disabled In the first few lines ... however, later on you see (II) Initializing built-in extension DAMAGE So which is it? Is there a memory map or something I can dump and view to see which extensions are actually loaded into the X server? Is there a delineation between "disabled/enabled" and "initialized"? OK I found it:
xdpyinfo -queryExtensions | awk '{print; if (NF<=1) exit;}'

A friend of mine have just migrated to Linux, and as recommended by me, He's trying Fedora 15 KDE. Everything runs just fine, he loved the OS, but there's a sad problem, his network card seems to have no "wireless extensions", which makes the system impracticable to use. I've tried searching around which card JMC250 is a single-chip PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
with lspci
and which driver for this card
JME
is installed, with modprobe list
I've tried loading this driver with modprobe jme, no errors. And I've also tried compiling a driver I got from the manufacturer. No changes.

I'm a PHP developer trying to switch from Windows to Linux. So I'm new with Linux. I tried to google for a solution and tried the suggested wiki FAQ but with no success.I wanted to install zend-server-ce-php-5.3 today with yum. This worked okay.After this I tried to install php-5.3-extra-extensions-zend-server. This seemed to work.

I managed to mess up GNOME on my ubuntu laptop. Now, I can't connect to the internet because the network manager applet is removed. Is there anyway to reinstall gnome from the livecd of ubuntu? Also, I want to uninstall GNOME and install LXDE, is there anyway to do this without uninstalling any of the applications that are installed by default with gnome, such as openoffice.org or firefox?

Just wanted to know whether I can install KDE along side GNOME in Debian Lenny? The reason I ask is Gnome was installed by default and I didn't get an option to install KDE during the text based setup. So I put in the dvd and to see if there was an option to install kde, and it does Install with KDE Environment (to that affect). Would it currently erase the current Debian installation with Gnome or will KDE install as a second desktop option to use?

In order to get multiple monitor/display support which is not available in the version of gnome available with centos repos, I decided to try KDE. I tried just adding it with yum without removing gnome. Now I don't seem to get a display after "starting udev (OK)" message during boot. As a newbie I don't know how to go about backing out of this update. is ther some way to boot to a console? Then what would I do - yum uninstall kde? And I suppose I also need advice on what I should be doing to get kde going to support my two monitors.

I installed Debian 6.0.1.a on Friday, but the problem is that installing xfce installed a few packages that have nothing to do with it, like Brasero and metacity. I'm using the xfwm but why were these extra packages installed? All I installed at the time were wicd, gdebi, xorg and xfce4. Everything is working fine...but why the extra bits?

opensuse v11.2 The Gnome help describes how to install fonts: copy the font files to </usr/share/fonts>. I have some Type1 fonts with PFB, PFM, AFM and sometimes INF face files. The only ones I see in the <Type1> directory are AFM and PFA. Which font files does Gnome actually require? Is a PFA needed? Are the font files moved/deleted from </usr/share/fonts/> after installation? Is there a more obvious way to install fonts in Gnome?
