Hi everyone,

I’m really enjoying Gnome on Fedora and everything is almost perfectly set up.

One of my only problems with my Webdav access to kdrive (cloud storage) in the file manager.

It works fine but it’s not mounted automatically on startup. On the web, I’ve found that you should go to the disk utility to enable that but it doesn’t appear there.

I’d want to do it on the GUI as I’m not knowledgeable enough to do it in the terminal.

Can anyone help me?

Until Gnome 45, I was using Tiling Assistant. It was mostly useful for separating my screen in two windows to compare two files.

That extension ain’t working in Gnome 45 and it forces me to change my workflow. I mostly move between workspaces, but sometimes having two files opened on the same workspace was really useful.

What extension are you using now and do you know if Tiling Assistant is gonna be ported to Gnome 45?

It’s a shame important extensions are broken because of an update.

I love Gnome though.

The GNOME 45 Beta is out today as the latest development milestone ahead of its stable debut in September.

Hi there, with the Debian update from 11 to 12 came the switch from Gnome 3 to 4. This causes a huge performance problem in the "Activities" action I need to perform literally all the time, to switch between application windows. In the old system, this was very snappy, in the new system already four or five windows mean the computer practically freezes for a few hundred milliseconds including a frozen mouse pointer. It feels very awful. I would estimate the old version was at least four to eight times faster.

I'm on an HP laptop with Intel onboard graphics. I didn't change anything with the Debian 11 to 12 update. Any help fixing this issue is appreciated. Ideally the overview would come immediately and the windows would be refreshed asynchronously, because now, if I have like ten PDFs open, it's completely unusable. I would prefer not to switch window manager, just because Gnome 4 assumes everyone got a ten times faster machine than five years ago. I am sure this a bug somewhere.

It’s great to see people face to face after a long time. Kicked off the first day with an ADHD trip of a talk. Rather than putting links in my slides, where nobody has the chance of actually follow, I’ve assembled them here. Enjoy!

Hi there. Another Gnome 3x -\> 4x question. While I appreciate that Nautilus finally allows me to sort search results, it seems it now forgets the way I sort the columns, and instead always resorts to alphabetical sorting. So every damn time I open Downloads, which is like a hundred times a day, I have to press twice on 'Modified' and then find the tiny scrollbar to go up to the top again. So annoying. Tell me I'm missing something, and I can make it remember I want a particular sorting order for a particular directory?

Hi there. I've got two types of applications after updating Debian from 11 to 12, and consequently moving from Gnome 3 to Gnome 4. Those that seem fine and show the expected mouse point (system, Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice etc.):

nice-cursor

and others that now show a very ugly "fat penguin" kind of cursor, which also moves quite sluggishly (Mixxx, FreeCAD, OpenSCAD):

ugly-cursor

I looked threw "Tweaks" but didn't notice any particular setting that might affect this. Any idea how I can make those applications use a descent mouse cursor?

It turns out that one the #performance issues I discovered some days ago in #GNOME #Web (where resources are not freed when closing a browser window) was caused by… a speed optimization previously made in the #Epiphany #opensource #Linux #browser … nearly 20 years ago 👀 No surprise then that it wasn't a #WebKitGTK issue, it even predates #WebKit ! 😂 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/2130

The GNOME Foundation has been sponsoring a hosted macOS CI runner for a few years, but the admins are now planning to retire it for a couple of reasons: the hardware is getting long in the tooth (it’s still an x86\_64 machine) it’s a shared bare metal environment, for licensing purposes (you can only virtualise macOS on an Apple machine running macOS), so CI pipelines compete for resources and tend to clobber each other unless the dependencies are shared or are completely isolated and never ins...
