Is this ready to test? Asking because it's marked as draft.

bobby285271 · 2021-10-04T02:40:53Z

Yes, I am using this on my physical machine.

@ofborg test pantheon

does it make sense to have both?

maybe add a link where upstream has it defined?

This seem to work.

Tested:

booting several times
login
lock screen
suspend, resume
start applications
restart
shut down

The changes look good to me and work.

I updated the PR description. I guess I should close this for now to avoid confusions, I don't plan to merge this for now. I will re-open this or reflect this changes in other PR when ready. I am keeping the branch for anyone who wants to test this.

davidak · 2021-12-03T03:09:12Z

I noticed today that i can't always click, for example moving windows or make a different window active by clicking on it don't always work, i have to click in different places. Also, hotkeys for screenshot does not work anymore. Screenshots using the app work. Keyboard keys for volume up, down and mute don't work anymore. In the browser file save dialog, i can't click "Save", a workaround is to click once in the Name field.

Nothing related in logs.

bobby285271 · 2021-12-07T15:31:13Z

I can reproduce the keyboard keys issue but not other yet, also night light no longer works for me. I guess it will be nice to report the issue upstream as I don't know how to deal with these downstream currently. Anyway I am tracking this in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/projects/21#card-73471036 so we can make sure we revisit this when doing Pantheon 7 update.

davidak · 2021-12-13T19:05:25Z

The described problems are actually not related to systemd session. They also occur with latest stable NixOS 21.11.334139.1bd4bbd49be.

bobby285271 · 2021-12-14T01:22:04Z

For me, at least the keyboard keys issue happens only with --builtin removed...
For your information the filechooser has been redesigned in Pantheon 6.0.4.

bobby285271 · 2023-05-22T14:19:27Z

Now also applied #233981 (comment).

gnome-session!93 will likely happen in GNOME 46.

This is now needed as gnome-session 46 drops `--builtin` option.

…on for Pantheon See Nixpkgs pull request 233981.

@bindir

This is changed after we manage session with systemd, as [email protected] has `ExecStart=@bindir@/gala`.

Otherwise it doesn't autostart after user session managed by systemd.

Which is manually added in the nixos module.
