Gnome-shell on Natty Narwhal

I just switched myself to Natty. I have used Gnome-shell in Maverick, installed from official repos. It works fine, though the source might be a bit outdated. Now with the toolchain updated from Natty repos, Gnome-shell works no more. This is what I get in terminal:

 JS ERROR: !!! Exception was: Error: Requiring Clutter, version 1.0: Failed to load typelib file '/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/Clutter-1.0.typelib' for namespace 'Clutter': Typelib version mismatch; expected 4, found 3

Does this mean clutter is too old?

Natty is still very much pre-alpha , many packages haven't been built/updated yet just keep updating and trying every few days .More packages will probably start coming through after UDS next week .

Lucky you UDS is right in your backyard. Is this open to all or just developers only?

heck if I know but I'll drop in anyway :lolflag:

UDS is always open to the public.

I was tempted to make yet another thread here, but I can't even compile it from source in 10.10.``` * Configuring gdk-pixbuf * [7/23] ./autogen.sh --prefix /home/merk/gnome-shell/install --libdir '/home/merk/gnome-shell/install/lib64' --disable-static --disable-gtk-doc ./autogen.sh: 113: autopoint: not found * Error during phase configure of gdk-pixbuf: ########## Error running ./autogen.sh --prefix /home/merk/gnome-shell/install --libdir '/home/merk/gnome-shell/install/lib64' --disable-static --disable-gtk-doc * [7/23]

compile it from source in 10.10.

./autogen.sh: 113: autopoint: not found

builds ok here (jhbuild do you have autopoint installed

I may not be overly fond of GS but I sure hope you get it going and restart your thread.

A testing forum with out that thread is just not quite right.

It is a tradition, respect tradition and git er done.   Please.

Yes ... autopoint is another required thing ... just apt-get install autopoint. This is required since a few weeks :-)

Does this mean clutter is too old? Well I made a bug report on this clutter problem: Bug # 661698 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clutter/+bug/661698

OK--finally got all of it to build--won't run with a error I've not seen before:

Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module":  libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file  or directory

The module is in /usr/lib/gtk2.0/modules--I copied it to the main /usr/lib & still no-go.....Ideas anyone?

IIRC that error shows up on most GS instances and shouldn't result in failure.

Good to know-I'll do another complete rebuild tonight--must be b0rked somewhere...

install libcanberra-dev.

Checked & it is installed.....will be rebuilding GS within the hour......

_A little advice for everyone:_

Compile a whole GS ('jhbuild build') only if needed (GS require a new libs... etc).

Usually enough is to compile only gnome-shell module:

jhbuild buildone gnome-shell

In that way you can save a lot of time and nerves :-)

_And ... compiling 'datetime' branch._

In the same way as compiling overview-relayout branch you can compile other branch - 'datetime' - it's very development at this moment but you can see work progress on date/time panel.

About compiling overview-relayout (post which I made):

http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9944930&postcount=813

and in case of 'datetime' branch just change step 3 :

git clone git://git.gnome.org/gnome-shell -b datetime

If you're wanting to test different branches at the same time you can

cd ~/gnome-shell/source/gnome-shell
git checkout <branchname>
git reset --hard HEAD

Then all you need to do is the above

jhbuild buildone gnome-shell

If you're code savvy and know how to work with git I can testify that master, overview-relayout, and datetime can all be merged without much trouble.

until then I can't build and as such no thread from me, though maybe it's too late for me to make one anyway.

Already said:

sudo apt-get install autopoint

Yay it finally built! It... looks the same?

OKay with that, anyone want me to make my usual thread or no?

I'd say go ahead.

100% YES---I'd say that the changes will be in fairly soon, so just do a copy/paste for now with the current mods--then update when the GUI change happens....

Master branch looks the same. If you want look at the future you should try 'overview-relayout' branch.

It's good to have complete step by step instruction. Do it (GNOME-SHELL thread):-)

+1 for the gnome-shell thread :)

Hmm, getting this error in gtk3:

EDIT: Also getting errors in gconf and gjs

for this error do this:

select the "shell" option, then type "make -k install", after that exit and select option 1, and it should work. it seems to be a libtool error.

Thanks! That worked like a charm (in Maverick, too :-))
