Trisquel 5.5 upgrade fubar
- Anmelden oder Registrieren um Kommentare zu schreiben
Hello, so I upgraded to 5.5 and now Gnome is completely fubar: Whenever I log in, I get a prompt that something has crashed on the Gnome panel and when I go to click on the Trisquel logo to select an application, I keep getting the same prompt. After three times of clicking the logo, the panel disappears and I can't do anything. None of my keyboard shortcuts that launch terminal or nautilus even work. Maybe I could just drop to emergency terminal and install a new UI?
Here's what I get:
"The panel encountered a problem while loading 'ClockAppletFactory::ClockApplet'.
Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration?"
And no matter if I choose yes or no, when I click on the logo, the panel disappears and then comes back and I get the prompt again. Even all my customizations are f****** gone. :(

customizations are f****** gone. :(

I get a similar error on Trisquel 5. The panel doesn't disappear though, the
clock or the indicator applet just keep crashing with the same error message
you posted.
You said you upgraded, right? Try a full install, or switch back to 5.0 until
gnome 3 gets more mature.
Do you know of a way I could re-install 5.5 without having to blow away the partition? Tired of having to shuffle crap around to install :P
Is your home directory in a separate partition? If so, you should be able to reinstall or start from scratch without your essential stuff lost since most installers leave it alone. Of course you will have to double check your other directories for things you may need to backup up externally before you wipe.

I get this error too, I click "Do Not Delete the Panel". The clock and
calendar are gone. I just log out and in again and they come back, without
the error.

You must have the old settings lying around. Just delete your gconf and
dconf, also the gnome spcific settings from your home directory.

I'm starting to lose faith in this whole open source thing. People
release software that companies can use without giving anything back(GPL
if internal, BDS regardless). You set up a list to support all your
software gifts and then people beat you down with "F" bombs
Not saying that I don't appreciate all the hard work. If that's what you are implying? o_O

so re-install and re-customize? It looks like your upgrade went wrong
which is likely to happen, you're trying to upgrade gnome2 and settings
to gnome 3 which might work partly, but since gnome-fallback is a gtk3
port of gnome 2's gtk2 panel implementation, the port probably isn't
exact, so things are likely to break. believe me, I tried upgrading
ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10 back in october, very, very bad idea. Lol

Frankly I am sick and tired of that solution. :P With every distro I have EVER used: Ubuntu, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Trisquel and more, that is always the solution and it is SOOOOO long and tedious.

There is no reason to believe that the packages were corrupted or incompatible.
I would try to reconfigure the DE experience from the defaults; depending on your configuration; I would put the configuration folders, the "." files from the "/home/user/.*" on a folder on desktop; at next login it should use the defaults an you can re-customise the desktop safe.
grave_123, these are my home's *clock* subdirectories. You can rename them to clock.old and see what happens.
$ find . -name *clock*
./.gconf/apps/panel3-applets/clock
./.gconf/apps/panel/applets/clock
Have fun :]
