[solved] Upgrade-Warning: gnome 3.12 transition

[terroreek]

I thought I'd point this out, anyone using wine should know there is a full screen bug with gnome-shell, looks like 3.10 and newer.  The quick workaround is to alt tab to the wine window.  However if anyone here like me uses pipelight, to watch netflix you need to alt-tab to the get your fullscreen window back.

There is a workaround in the that bug report.

Ok so if anyone is still getting empty or blank tab titles in gnome-terminal, I added this to my .zshrc (I use zshell with prezto)

Code Select Expand

case $TERM in
    xterm*)
        precmd () {print -Pn "\e]0;%n@%m: %~\a"}
        ;;
esac

fixed it for me, this gnome bug report will also shed some light in the matter

Using the set Title will not work via the menu in gnome-terminal, you can change it by xtermset -T 'some title'.  You may need to install xtermset (apt-get install xtermset).

Anyone with a customized shell can refer to this to help;

Hello,

i found an issue with gnome-control-center: the users control would not allow to change my password.

Running the control center from the commandlline helped:

Code Select Expand

/var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict.pwd: No such file or directory

I discussed my observation in #debian-gnome and got the solution: cracklib-runtime was missing. Debian has to add a recommends: cracklib-runtime in the gnome-control-center but this still will not install it in siduction. So siduction users need to install the package if they want to change their password.

Code Select Expand

apt-get install cracklib-runtime

I added issue #1644 in the siduction bugtracker.
