I am using archlinux with gnome shell 3.14.3-2 and I am unable to resize windows using eather alt+f8 or alt+space -> resize. Pressing alt+f8 and the moving the mouse moves the window, while it is suppose to (and used to) resize it. Same goes for alt+space -> resize. Has anyone even experienced the same issue ? Is there a known fix ?

I've successfully enabled fractional scaling on my GNOME 3.38 + Wayland in Arch as stated here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI#Wayland However, in gnome control center it now only shows 100% 125% 150% 175% and 200% whereas for my screen the best setup would be 250% (that I can set in Windows 10 for example). How can enable values above 200% in gnome control center or either set it manually?

I'm using GNOME on Debian 13 (Trixie), and I noticed that the icons in the Dash (on the left side of the Activities overview) are much larger than they were in Debian 12. I’m not sure why the sizing changed or how to fix it. I’ve tried editing the gnome-shell.css file directly to reduce the icon size, but I’m not sure which selectors or properties I need to modify to achieve the correct look. I’d prefer not to use third-party extensions like Dash to Dock — I want to keep the default Debian experience, just with the icon size fixed. Does anyone know what exactly I need to edit in the CSS (or any other method) to restore the normal icon size in the Dash? also here is a screenshot: and the css file

/* Dash */
#dash {
  padding-left: 6px;
  padding-right: 6px; }
  #dash .dash-background {
    background-color: #38383b;
    border-radius: 28px;
    padding-top: 12px;
    padding-bottom: 12px;
    padding-left: 10px;
    padding-right: 10px; }
  #dash .dash-item-container .placeholder {
    background-image: none;
    background-size: contain;
    height: 32px; }
  #dash .dash-item-container .empty-dash-drop-target {
    width: 32px;
    height: 32px; }
  #dash .dash-item-container .show-apps,
  #dash .dash-item-container .overview-tile,
  #dash .dash-item-container .grid-search-result {
    margin: 0 2px;
    padding-bottom: 12px; }

this is not the complete CSS.

I have been using the [gTile](https://github.com/gTile/gTile) Gnome shell extension. In gTile, I defined specific preset window positions, along with the keyboard shortcuts Super+1, Super+2, etc. to apply them. This was all working fine until a recent update of Gnome. After the update, some of my shortcuts now seem to do other random things, while other shortcuts don't seem to do anything at all. I looked in *Settings → Devices → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts*, but the Super+1, Super+2 shortcuts didn't even seem to be defined. I also uninstalled all other Gnome shell extensions (thinking that other extensions might be setting their own shortcuts) but that didn't help. **Why are these shortcuts un-remappable and how can I make them remappable again?**

I am using Debian 10.1 See the following screenshot. I am used to a Ubuntu environment where I do a right click and terminal opens. Is this kind of a thing possible for Debian environment. If it is possible please let me know how can I enable it? If the same can be added to context menu like in the screenshot I see following three options 1)Change Background 2)Display Settings 3)Settings Here can I add the option in black menu in screenshot to open terminal (I am not referring to the Ctrl+Alt+T to open terminal) some how tweaking gnome? **edit** based on discussion below package **gnome-tweak-tool** and **nautilus-extension-gnome-terminal** were installed. Then when required setting were not found as in videos here 1)https://youtu.be/scOYZZIyoM4 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scOYZZIyoM4&feature=youtu.be gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons has been set to true gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true Still the desired results have not been achieved. What I want is I do a right click on any area on my desktop and in the context menu I want to see an option to open terminal.

I lock my GNOME Shell 3.6.3.1 by Ctrl+Alt+L as usual but when I try to unlock it takes up to a minute before I get my desktop back. While waiting I get a black background and a mouse pointer. Any ideas what takes so long?

I've been using GNOME (in **Arch Linux**) for a while. There is something that really bothers me (that I used to disable in Ubuntu) and it's the capability to: - Maximize windows when dragging to the top of the screen - Fill to the half the screen when dragging to the side(s) See **Resizing Windows** here . Is there any way to disable that in GNOME 3.28.0? > The answers related with the change on gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.classic-overrides edge-tiling to false don't work for me.

Trying to move a window by grip-able button. On 2 other window managers, and no manager it works fine. Windows move anywhere you want pass display edge bounds. On GNOME Shell and Mutter(Gala) the window is confined to the desktop view with no part of it allowed past display edges. On Compiz I use _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE, other 2 are grab_pointer. The mutter variants won't work using _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE which is fine, but I can't figure out what property to set on the window to allow normal configure messages to get past display limits. Hint as to which it is would be appreciated, kinda would like to support the variant. Need a window_property_set or client message to root to be able to use configure_window. Using code:

#if USE_XLIB
  XMoveWindow(display, motion->event, values, values);
#else
  xcb_configure_window(session->connection, motion->event,
               XCB_CONFIG_WINDOW_X | XCB_CONFIG_WINDOW_Y, values);
#endif

This will only allow movement to the confines of 'maximize' window display. Moving left, negative x values get converted by GNOME to 0. Moving toward bottom, any value greater than window.y + window.height gets converted to display height - taskbar height - window height by GNOME. Verified by values received on configure notify. Do I need to delete a _NET_WM_STRUT property on my window or root window to use? Looking at gdk3 code they use the Xlib variant of code. **Solved**\ Problem is issue that GNOME only supports move of window correctly through their toolkit. It appears to lack proper support of both EWMH and ICCCM. Workaround is to use override-redirect, taking away its ability to mess with configure message.

I'm running Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS with the GNOME version 42.5 on a X11 Framework Laptop. In the Extensions Manager (Version 0.4.0) I can browse extensions and click on install but they won't install and will provide no feedback. On extensions.gnome.org I can click on the on switch, it will prompt me to install the package but it won't really install it. On the website I see a banner telling me "Your native host connector do not support following APIs: v6. Probably you should upgrade native host connector or install plugins for missing APIs. Refer documentation for instructions.". I have actually installed the gnome-shell-extension-manager@0.3.0-0ubuntu2.1, gnome-shell-extensions@42.1-0ubuntu1, chrome-gnome-shell@10.1-5 but it still doesn't install the extensions. I am kind of stuck. Any idea what could solve this? Any help is appreciated! Thx!

My computer freezes every 1 or 2 seconds for a short period as well. So 1 or 2 seconds working and 1 or 2 seconds not working. Everything stops working except for the mouse. ---------- The first time I discovered the problem was when I wanted to open a 1GB txt file with leafpad. The syslog (and other files) raised to 350MB with leafpad errors. I still don't really think it could be the cause but since then I have noticed it slow. I tried deleting those lines to make the files lighter but didn't work (ofc). The line was a repetition of: localhost leafpad: pango_tab_array_get_tab: assertion 'tab_index >= 0' failed ---------- **Gnome-shell debugging** (In the end I think the problem is not there) I have runned top to see the problem and my first guess was that gnome-shell. I have disabled all extensions on gnome and I have put Hidden=True on the gnome tracker. Reboot ofc but issue still continues. top - 11:37:47 up 16 min, 1 user, load average: 5.08, 4.53, 3.07 Tasks: 186 total, 1 running, 185 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 5.4 us, 13.6 sy, 0.0 ni, 78.8 id, 2.2 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st MiB Mem : 11894.0 total, 9255.9 free, 884.7 used, 1753.4 buff/cache MiB Swap: 0.0 total, 0.0 free, 0.0 used. 10597.3 avail Mem PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1467 root 20 0 3828560 258004 73056 S 16.9 2.1 3:00.91 gnome-she+ 1627 root 20 0 384600 23668 17328 S 13.0 0.2 1:31.00 gsd-xsett+ 1732 root 20 0 1190848 66960 31648 S 11.6 0.5 1:21.92 gnome-sof+ 2371 root 20 0 239576 28532 22080 S 9.0 0.2 0:49.61 leafpad 2282 root 20 0 1397692 79500 38488 S 8.3 0.7 2:27.84 nautilus 1618 root 20 0 452484 40448 13752 S 7.6 0.3 1:01.97 packageki+ 1643 root 20 0 384156 24452 17428 S 5.3 0.2 1:16.62 gsd-keybo+ 1636 root 20 0 236512 22152 17128 S 3.0 0.2 1:16.76 gsd-clipb+ 1269 root 20 0 343084 47552 32060 S 0.7 0.4 0:19.31 Xorg 9 root 20 0 0 0 0 I 0.3 0.0 0:01.07 rcu_sched 1176 message+ 20 0 18272 5276 3476 S 0.3 0.0 0:01.51 dbus-daem+ 1640 root 20 0 550896 24776 19364 S 0.3 0.2 1:18.79 gsd-color 2850 root 20 0 527664 39564 28252 S 0.3 0.3 0:07.43 gnome-ter+ 3048 root 20 0 15804 3484 3040 R 0.3 0.0 0:00.01 top 1 root 20 0 192548 9036 6632 S 0.0 0.1 0:02.95 systemd 2 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 kthreadd 3 root 0 -20 0 0 0 I 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 rcu_gp I have used the following to know where the issue was and it seeams openat takes the majority.

I can't change the PATH at gnome-shell level so I can execute programs in my ~/bin or ~/.local/bin folder from my .desktop files. I am able to easily define other variables through ~/.config/environment.d/envvars.conf e.g. TEXMFHOME. The problem is reported elsewhere and most recently on these pages: - https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/i2ybvc/cant_change_path_in_environmentd5/ - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/issues/385 - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/commit/349e6af855a1c1dbee9af3e5881e00b66482d155 I have changed these files:

~/.bashrc : 
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

~/.config/environment.d/envvars.conf:
PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
TEXMFHOME=$HOME/.texmf # this variable is available at gnome-shell level

~/.pam_environment
PATH        OVERRIDE=${HOME}/bin:${HOME}/.local/bin:${PATH}

/etc/environment
PATH=/home/farid/.local/bin:$PATH

And at my bash prompt in gnome-terminal, I get:

The TEXMFHOME variable set in ~/.config/environment.d/envvars.conf file is available to Gnome-shell but PATH seems to be overridden by some program. I am not sure if it's related to systemd or Gnome-shell, But in the reddit link I shared above, a person says the problem stems from Gnome-shell. I expect that when I press alt+f2 and type an executable name which is present in ~/.local/bin/ to be executed. I reported the bug to Debian gnome-shell package maintainers as well: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1104035 If I press alt+f2 and execute sh -c 'echo "$PATH" > /tmp/path', then the content of /tmp/path is:

cat /tmp/path
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

If I press alt+f2 and execute sh -c 'echo "$TEXMFHOME" > /tmp/TEXMFHOME', which is defined in ~/.config/environment.d/envvars.conf, then:

cat /tmp/TEXMFHOME
/home/farid/.texmf

I need to remove Suspend / Restart / Power Off… menu from Gnome Shell & GDM. I’ve been trying using Settings, Gnome Tweaks, Dconf Editor, but nothing found AFAIK. Trying to enter the Polkit conf file gave the same results. polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.power-off" || action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.reboot" || action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate" || action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.suspend") { return polkit.Result.NO; } }); Any clue? Thank you, Regards

For older versions of gnome shell, there were extensions to move the window buttons (like close, maximize and minimize) from the window's title bar to the top panel. - [Window Buttons](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/426/window-buttons/) - [Buttons to Panel](http://sourceforge.net/projects/buttons-to-panel/) This is especially useful with windows without title bars, like [Maximus](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/844/maximus-two/) causes fullscreen applications to be. Both do not work on gnome shell version 3.16 and seen out of active development. Is there any similar extension currently maintained?

I'm trying to install true-color-invert available at the GNOME Extensions website or similar tools . It does not appear in the Extensions application on my Debian nor the gnome-extensions list which returns "Extension... Does Not Exists". 1. downloaded for shell version 3.38 extension version 11, because gnome-shell --version returns GNOME Shell version is 3.38.6. 2. unzipped, and made sure the directory of the unzipped files had the same name as the uuid in metadata.json : true-color-invert@jackkenney. 3. moved the directory to the folder of system-wide extensions : /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/, where I also affirmed the location of extensions readily appearing in the Extensions application. 4. reboot **What I tried:** - I also tried creating the directory ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ and putting the extension here. - gnome-extensions install true-color-invertjackkenney.v11.shell-extension.zip [5] gave similar result as edit 1. did make the extension available. Other report similar issues. [6] [7] - it also does not install using preinstalled chrome-gnome-shell and the to-be installed browser extension for Firefox, although the website prompts "Your native host connector do not support following APIs: v6." that some say nevertheless should not be an issue on Ubuntu . - I tried multiple different extensions on the GNOME web. None worked. Someone has written at program at github that arguably fixes it , but I am a bit hesitant. - tried installing flatpak, then Extension Manager. But packages still won't install. What am I missing?

I use gnome-terminal on Ubuntu / Fedora. For color schemes I use [base16-shell](https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-shell) , along with its corresponding settings for my editor vi. I have configured my .bashrc to set the base16 theme on start up. I sometimes switch between themes by changing this bashrc file. This works for occasional changes to my color scheme, as I can just my .bashrc once in a while and all future windows open with the correct color. **What I want?** I want to be able to change color scheme on all open gnome-terminal windows with a single click / command. Is there a way to do that? **About my Workflow** I usually have a bunch of terminal windows open with different settings on them. Some of them have text editors open, and some text editor program (vim) in the background, to allow multi-tasking with multiple text editors on the same terminal window. Depending on the lighting in the room, I feel it is better to switch between two color schemes - A light color scheme during the day / brightly lit room, and dark color scheme during the night, not so well lit room. I don't want to go and type a command to switch color schemes on each open terminal windows. Besides some may have a program running in the foreground printing, which I may not want to interrupt. Is there a way to "signal" the terminal to switch to a custom color scheme? I understand it might be difficult to do it on terminals that have a program running actively in the foreground. But at least can I do it for all other terminals which have programs in the background, or no command running. I am willing to explore other terminals if that would help. I have been thinking of using gnome-terminal profiles, but can't seem to figure out how to achieve exactly what I want. Thanks in advance!

My Ubuntu since recently started to consume 5-6% of CPU while idle (I wouldn't have noticed if it didn't cause cooler to spin :/ ). Looking into the System Monitor -- it's gnome-shell. I've tried disabling all extensions (and of course rebooting) but it didn't help. So I've tried journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell -- and the log is full of the following line repeated **thosands of times per second**: gnome-shell: (../clutter/clutter/clutter-frame-clock.c:1143):clutter_frame_clock_dispatch: code should not be reached. It seems it takes 5-6% of CPU to solely log this. At this point I'm lost as there's only a single reference to this error in the Internet. AFAIU the code in question is https://github.com/GNOME/mutter/blob/main/clutter/clutter/clutter-frame-clock.c but I'm not in position to debug it. I won't ask if anyove has experienced it (but would appreaciate a solution of course :) ) -- but how to address it in general? File a bug? To where? Mutter or Gnome? Or Ubuntu? :/ My Mutter libraries versions:

$ sudo apt list | grep mutter

I would like to stream a video wirelessly from my Debian 12 laptop to a Miracast-compatible projector. I have no prior experience with this, and the easiest option seemed to be using **gnome-network-displays**. First, I checked that my laptop's hardware supports Wi-Fi Direct by running the command iw list and confirming that it includes P2P-client and `P2P-GO. Next, I verified that the projector has no issues receiving the stream. It works perfectly when I stream a video from my Android phone. Unfortunately, when I try to connect my Debian 12 laptop, I can detect the projector, but the connection cannot be established. Below is a relevant portion of the log. Can anyone assist? gnome-shell: Icon created: org.gnome.NetworkDisplays [org.gnome.NetworkDisplays] gnome-shell: Icon created: applications-system-symbolic [xdg-desktop-portal-gnome] wpa_supplicant: P2P-DEVICE-FOUND 1e:2f:b2:31:10:4f p2p_dev_addr=1e:2f:b2:31:10:4f pri_dev_type=7-0050F204-1 name='Smart_Projector' config_methods=0x188 dev_capab=0x25 group_capab=0x0 wfd_dev_info=0x0111022a0014 vendor_elems=1 new=1 wpa_supplicant: dbus: Register peer object '/fi/w1/wpa_supplicant1/Interfaces/5/Peers/1e2fa232104f' wpa_supplicant: wlo1: P2P: Reject scan trigger since one is already pending wpa_supplicant: P2P-DEVICE-FOUND 1e:2f:b2:31:10:4f p2p_dev_addr=1e:2f:b2:31:10:4f pri_dev_type=7-0050F204-1 name='Smart_Projector' config_methods=0x188 dev_capab=0x25 group_capab=0x0 wfd_dev_info=0x0111022a0014 vendor_elems=1 new=0 wpa_supplicant: P2P-FIND-STOPPED NetworkManager: [1736181554.0273] device (p2p-dev-wlo1): Activation: starting connection 'Wi-Fi P2P Peer 1E:2E:B2:32:10:4F' (0a529dcf-d1c2-4683-9872-b63508b0c344) NetworkManager: [1736181554.0275] audit: op="connection-add-activate" uuid="0a529dcf-d1c2-4683-9872-b63508b0c344" name="Wi-Fi P2P Peer 1E:2E:B2:32:10:4F" pid=49545 uid=1000 result="success" NetworkManager: [1736181554.0277] device (p2p-dev-wlo1): state change: disconnected -> prepare (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') NetworkManager: [1736181554.0279] device (p2p-dev-wlo1): state change: prepare -> config (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') gnome-shell: DEBUG net/DeviceMonitor.js::_loadDevices(100) 2 - lo: 52332 643 0 0 0 0 0 0 52332 643 0 0 0 0 0 0 gnome-shell: DEBUG net/DeviceMonitor.js::_loadDevices(100) 3 - wlo1: 2017189680 1881836 0 31 0 0 0 0 3033857339 1279643 0 0 0 0 0 0 gnome-shell: DEBUG net/DeviceMonitor.js::_loadDevices(100) 4 - p2p-wlo1-0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 gnome-shell: JS ERROR: TypeError: device is null _getIPAddress@/home/shevek/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/network-stats@gnome.noroadsleft.xyz/net/DeviceMonitor.js:176:13 _loadDevices@/home/shevek/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/network-stats@gnome.noroadsleft.xyz/net/DeviceMonitor.js:111:36 _connectionChanged@/home/shevek/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/network-stats@gnome.noroadsleft.xyz/net/DeviceMonitor.js:169:14 gnome-shell: DEBUG net/DeviceMonitor.js::_loadDevices(100) 2 - lo: 52332 643 0 0 0 0 0 0 52332 643 0 0 0 0 0 0 gnome-shell: DEBUG net/DeviceMonitor.js::_loadDevices(100) 3 - wlo1: 2017189680 1881836 0 31 0 0 0 0 3033857339 1279643 0 0 0 0 0 0 gnome-shell: DEBUG net/DeviceMonitor.js::_loadDevices(100) 4 - p2p-wlo1-0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 gnome-shell: JS ERROR: TypeError: device is null _getIPAddress@/home/shevek/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/network-stats@gnome.noroadsleft.xyz/net/DeviceMonitor.js:176:13 _loadDevices@/home/shevek/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/network-stats@gnome.noroadsleft.xyz/net/DeviceMonitor.js:111:36 _connectionChanged@/home/shevek/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/network-stats@gnome.noroadsleft.xyz/net/DeviceMonitor.js:169:14 (udev-worker): p2p-wlo1-0: Could not set AlternativeName= or apply AlternativeNamesPolicy=, ignoring: File exists ...

System Monitor or Tophat gnome extensions don't work in fresh installation of Alpine linux. I can see error: > Requiring GTop, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'GTop' (any > version) not found I have installed these two: apk add libgtop gcompat so I think that library is in the OS, however gnome shell extension can't see it. Any idea how to proceed with debug, how can I see what's wrong?

I have installed Zorin OS Core 17 and I am trying some customisations on it. I want to set an image as background on taskbar. I tried few things but could not find a proper solution. Below are the things I tried: modifying CSS in /usr/share/themes/ZorinGreen-Dark/gnome-shell/gnome-shell.css

#panel {
        background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 1);
    }

It seems taskbar is denoted with #panel. I currently have Zorin Dark mode with green accent active. On adding this code to CSS file, the color of taskbar changed to red. But this does not seem to work when setting color to transparent, or setting background-image property:

#panel {
    background-image: url('file:///home/username/Pictures/background.jpg');
    background-size: cover; /* Makes the image cover the entire panel */
    background-position: center; /* Centers the image */
    background-repeat: no-repeat; /* Ensures the image does not repeat */
}

The above code made taskbar grey in color. I also tried setting background-color: transparent on top of this, but no effect.

#panel {
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) !important; /* Fully transparent */
    background-image: url('file:///home/username/Pictures/background.jpg') !important;
    background-size: cover !important;
    background-position: center !important;
    background-repeat: no-repeat !important;
}

Similarly no effect due to above code. A workaround I found for this is to set the wallpaper with image of taskbar appended to its bottom, and then set taskbar transparent using 'Zorin Appearance' and setting taskbar opacity to 0, which makes it transparent and shows the image from wallpaper, mimicking image-on-taskbar effect. But this is a workaround, and in case of any other window behind the taskbar, covering the wallpaper, it will ruin this effect. Another observation: There is an extension zorin-taskbar@zorinos enabled that has some settings regarding transparency and image involved as found using LookingGlass. **It would be of help if someone could point out the way to actually put an image on background of taskbar.** *PS: I would appreciate someone guiding the way to debug and figure out custom UI tweaks for this Linux OS, as I am interested in making further tweaks and customisations.*

Minimize, Maximize, Close icons are missing in my GNOME desktop of Kali Linux. However, when I click in the place they are supposed to be, they do what they are supposed to do. Weirdly, Firefox is only missing the maximize icon! This may have been caused when I tried to install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics. This apparently removed kali-desktop-gnome but I could use gnome even after running the installing synaptics. Anyway, I installed kali-desktop-gnome again (which automatically removed xserver-xorg-input-synaptics but the issue is still here. PS: I would also like to know if it is possible to install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics without removing gnome because I want to enable my touchpad tap to click (synclient tapbutton1=1) in xfce too. Edit: Minimize and Maximize options are already enabled in Gnome Tweaks. Added as per requested by @iaeiou .
