Instead of displaying my favorite applications on the bottom dock, it only displays the "applications" icon. Running applications are also not displayed. I found a solution: * In the Gnome activities search bar, look for "Extensions" and run it. * Select the gear icon / settings for Dash to Dock. * Select tab "Appearance". * Enable "Use built-in theme". It seems the details of the theming engine were changed in recent Gnome and you now have no choice but "Use built-in theme".

I'm not sure how this is a bug in Guix. Dash-to-dock 71 is the latest release from upstream taking extensions.gnome.org as the source of truth [1]. There appears to be a related issue upstream [2], perhaps you're encountering that? Cheers [1] Actually, whatever the git repo claims to push towards extensions.gnome.org [2] https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/issues/1522 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

The solution found there (disable Ubuntu Dock) does not work for me --- there is no Ubuntu Dock in Guix, LOL. It may be a *related* bug, but this may also be unique to how Guix packages both programs. So I want to know if other users on Guix are seeing the same thing as well. Guix version is e675030fba924a1aef2677f8ab912eaa3c46403c. Given the default `(service gnome-desktop-service-type)`, where does `gnome-shell` put its logs? There are no logs for Gnome Shell specifically on `/var/log`, it does not print anything in `/var/log/Xorg.0.log`, and `info guix` does not describe any log output directory for `gnome-desktop-configuration`, so I don't know where Gnome Shell on Guix puts its logs. Does it just get printed to console? Thanks raid5atemyhomework ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

There's your ~/.local/share/xorg logs that you haven't mentioned yet, but I doubt something like an extension misbehaving (i.e. not even raising an error that GNOME Shell detects) would end up there. I'm not aware of any other GNOME-specific logs and their locations, but since it's either /var/log or somewhere in your $HOME/.something, I don't think Guix would do anything to manipulate the output path. You could try checking for logs in GDM's home as well, which requires sudo to ls. Cheers ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

It's probably because "Use built-in theme" is default-enabled and this bug seems to appear with this setting disabled. Disabling the setting lets me set up some more settings for the dock which is why I prefer this setting disabled. > > Given the default `(service gnome-desktop-service-type)`, where does > > `gnome-shell` put its logs? > > There are no logs for Gnome Shell specifically on `/var/log`, it does > > not print anything in `/var/log/Xorg.0.log`, and `info guix` does not > > describe any log output directory for `gnome-desktop-configuration`, > > so I don't know where Gnome Shell on Guix puts its logs.

You could > try checking for logs in GDM's home as well, which requires sudo to ls. The github issue you linked to asks for logs as well, so presumably they print *something* on the logs that might help them. Nothing in my normal user `~/.local/share/` has xorg in it, and `root` has no `~root/.local`. My user has `~/.local/share/gnome-shell` but it has no logs either. I also looked into `~/.cache` and `~/.local` for both my user and `root` -- no dice. I don't use GDM since it keeps wanting to suspend the computer, and the computer is intended to be a fileserver and printserver, the Gnome Shell is just there for ease-of-use since the printer is a scanner/printer and you can't really remotely use the scanner usefully since you have to feed the papers to scan into it one by one anyway. Looking at my console, flipping the "Use built-in theme" shows a bunch of error messages on the console. Sigh. Looks like `gnome-shell` on Guix prints its logs to console, which makes it a headache to copy-paste messages off for bug reports. Re: > but I doubt something like an extension misbehaving (i.e. not even > raising an error that GNOME Shell detects) would end up there. It's JavaScript. If you have a browser and open its console while browsing most websites, you'll see a fair number of error messages there, even though the site may be operating perfectly well as far as you can tell --- errors don't cause a typical JavaScript application to crash because an error will just send it back to the event mainloop and it will keep on going on despite bunches of JavaScript errors. That's why logs for `gnome-shell` are fairly vital, and it's getting thrown into the console where they are not recorded. Sigh. More coding to do to make Guix useful.

I think you're missing the point here; typically, GNOME Shell has the ability to detect errors in the initialization of extensions and report them through looking glass, and as far as I know GNOME also writes to Xorg logs. Even with that said, I doubt you will find any useful logs anywhere due to the nature of what you're trying to debug rather than Guix trying its best to get in your way of debugging. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
