Ubuntu :: Gnome-shell Using 95% CPU - Very Slow
Jun 18, 2011
gnome-shell seems to go into loco mode sometimes on my computer... among other problems I'm having this one is the worst. So far, it *seems* to happen after a flash movie is loaded in firefox, although I can't tell for sure if that's the case... Flash performance for some reason is crap anyways on here, I don't know if maybe I need a different version of flash? Anyways, if you guys have any clues as to wth is going on, that would be awesome! I'm a bit of a newbie so treat me nicely
Just a quick update - reloading with r seems to fix the CPU usage issue... until it happens again...

I followed instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir3-2/Meerkat , including the post install ones. Ubuntu with GNOME 2 runs fine, but some animations in GNOME Shell are very slow, like switching to and from Overview. I tried drivers from xorg-edgers and x-swat PPAs, but things are still slow. The most relevant solution I found is http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/SwatList. I applied the patch
Code:
$ cd ~/gnome-shell/source/gnome-shell
$ curl http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=157326 > shell-animations-nvidia.patch

Is there any way I can switch my desktop shell from unity to, say, gnome-shell? I can switch using other console shell I like (bash, csh, fish, etc.). Assume that there is a stable alternative desktop shell, I should be able to choose, too.
(For console shell, we goes to /etc/passwd. But for desktop, I can't find the way to config.)

is there some wiki page on GNOME or Fedora that list which graphics cards work without problems on Fedora 15 with GNOME Shell? I have tried 3 older cards and they all failed, so I would like to share this info with others so people know which cards to avoid if they want to use full features of GNOME 3 via GNOME Shell.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I need to get it straight. I've been reading and trying to find out more about these three new desktop environments, but still am rather confused. I have had Unity on my netbook for a couple of months now and know it inside out (more or less by now). The problem is: what is the main difference between Gnome 3 and Gnome Shell?
To my understanding Gnome 3 will be a continuation of the panelled Gnome we are so used to? But then I read the panels will be gone forever, so I'm confused again Gnome Shell is somewhat similar-looking to Unity, but I haven't had a chance to try it properly yet.

I'm a truly ordinary shell scripter (and unfortunately I know nothing about any higher-level language), but I have an important script to run to count the number of files in our client directories.
Problem is that while we've not got a lot of clients (circa 100), they might have a LOT (> 1000s) of files.
And my script is REALLY slow code...
PS How slow? Well I started a cron job at 0005 yesterday, and as of 0930 today its only a little over half-way through all our clients.

I installed Gnome 3 on Natty successfully, despite some minor glitches. It works fine, but recently I found some nice screenshots that looks quite different from which I get, and from others I saw before. You can found it in this link: [URL] Some one knows to what the differences are due?

I have seen many reviews of 11.04 beta with option to upgrade from 10.10. Can somebody confirm that it could be done without damaging the present gnome. I do not want Gnome shell/Unity as the DE in 11.04 too.

the whole "Unity" thing didn't appeal to me that much, i installed gnome-shell.everything went well except there doesnt seem to be any themes to windows and stuff now, the gnome-shell looks great, but open up a program or file browser and its all grey and buttons and menus are blocks, no minimize or maximize buttons (not sure if thats a gnome thing now) but just a blocky X in the top right corner to close windows.

I've noticed when someone calls attention to my name in xchat or if I get an instant message, I don't get a notification about it unless I happen to go into the dash. Then I see someone highlighted my name or instant messaged me. Is anybody else having this?
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 with the Gnome 3 PPA.

Since upgrading from Heron to Lynx (64 bit) Gnome is slow to start. It seems like it is waiting for some sort of automated timeout, since the harddrive stops in the middle of Gnome startup (after login) for around 10 secs or so. Is there a logfile of the startup-sequence somewhere that I could look at and/or post here?

I changed the resolution in Gnome to something that my monitor cannot recognize. However, I can get into the shell, and am wondering if their is a way to change the Gnome resolution via the shell commands.

I'm attempting to play around with Gnome Shell, both in Lucid, and now in the Maverick Alpha. However, when I attempt to install it (from software center), I get an error.
Code: Package Dependencies could not be resolved. This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time. Details > gnome-shell What dependency is missing from the repository?

I've updated to Maverick and I'm running Gnome Shell at login, the version from the repos.
My problem is that Tomboy in the tray does does not list the titles of my notes. There's just the yellow note icon. The rest of the text (Synchronize, Preferences, etc) all work normally.
If I log in to the normal Ubuntu desktop, there is no problem with Tomboy.

I just installed GS following the instructions here:[URL]... and the classic way of getting GS to start at login (adding gnome-shell --replace in start up applications) doesnt work.
To start GS now we have to use the command "~/gnome-shell/source/gnome-shell/src/gnome-shell --replace" via the terminal adding that to start up doesnt work either, does anyone know how to get GS to start at login?

I've searched and read lots about trying to get gnome-shell to run in Virtualbox(v4) with no success on my end. Lots of the posts are outdated and are using Virtualbox 3.
So anyone have any tips or hints for testing the Gnome-shell? (I'd prefer to test in with 10.10 in Virtualbox 4, but am open to upgrading to 11.04 if necessary)

I've seen lots of posts all over the Internet that advise users to check the "Run command as a login shell" checkbox in GNOME Terminal under Edit->Profile Preferences->Title and Command.
This makes gnome-terminal run bash/csh/tcsh/ksh as a login shell, which it does not do by default. In turn, running gnome-terminal as a login shell sources the system and user login scripts. This sets up things like colored ls etc.
It seems like gnome-terminal should be a login shell by default. Why isn't it? I've never seen a good explanation of why gnome-terminal isn't a login shell. The "Run command as a login shell" checkbox must be unchecked by default for some good reason, right?

After many failures, I succesfully compiled Gnome Shell from GIT. I already did about two months ago on the same machine and everything went ace. This time, when trying to finally launch it with ./gnome-shell --replace, the windows briefly disappear, the screen flashes for a few seconds but the Unity or the Classic Ubuntu desktop are restored normally. This is the output in the terminal:
Code:
giulio@giulio-902:~$ ~/gnome-shell/source/gnome-shell/src/gnome-shell --replace
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Window manager warning: Log level 8: gtk_style_context_add_provider: assertion `GTK_IS_STYLE_PROVIDER (provider)' failed

I'm running ubuntu natty with gnome 3 installed. I was installing some gnome 3 shell themes, and I now I want to revert back to the default gnome 3 shell theme (adwaita) but i forgot to back it up (I thought I had) I'm just wondering where I could find this shell online. How do I revert back to where I was.

I have run into problems building GNOME Shell from source on the Lucid Lynx. The Lynx has GNOME 2.30, correct? Well, ~/gnome-shell-build-setup.sh tells me that "GNOME 2.26 or newer is required to build GNOME Shell" when I already have 2.30. Just look at this screenshot [URL]...
