In GNOME 47 Files becomes a File Chooser! FileChooser Implementation

Solution:
Apparently it is by design! I had to use “Unblank” extension to change the behaviour.

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing an issue with GNOME 46 where my screen goes black immediately after locking. Here's a bit more detail about my setup and the troubleshooting steps I've already taken:

System: Manjaro Linux Release: 24.0.4
Display: Single monitor setup (1920x1080 resolution)

Steps Taken:
Checked and adjusted Settings > Power > Blank screen and Settings > Privacy > Screen Lock settings.
Ensured monitor configuration is correct in Settings > Displays.
Updated system.
Disabled all GNOME Shell extensions.
Verified GNOME Shell and related packages are up to date.
Reviewed logs using journalctl -xe but found nothing conclusive.
Reset GNOME settings with dconf reset -f /org/gnome/.
Checked and updated graphics drivers.
Disabled lock screen fade animation with gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-delay 0.

Despite all these efforts, the issue persists. Has anyone else encountered this problem or have any suggestions on how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

This post is in part a response to an aspect of Nate’s post “Does Wayland really break everything?“, but also my reflection on discussing Wayland protocol additions, a unique pleasure that I have been involved with for the past months1.

I've been using Gnome for about 10 months and it always bothered me that my city (with more than a million inhabitants) was not found in the Weather program.

I looked for solutions several times and never found them, until I found this thread yesterday. That the user Julian made a script that solves this problem. you just have to run and enter the name of your city and then confirm.

#!/bin/bash

if [[ ! -z "$(which gnome-weather)" ]]; then
	system=1
fi

if [[ ! -z "$(flatpak list | grep org.gnome.Weather)" ]]; then
	flatpak=1
fi

if [[ ! $system == 1 && ! $flatpak == 1 ]]; then
	echo "GNOME Weather isn't installed"
	exit
fi

if [[ ! -z "$*" ]]; then
	query="$*"
else
	read -p "Type the name of the location you want to add to GNOME Weather: " query
fi

query="$(echo $query | sed 's/ /+/g')"

request=$(curl "https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=$query&format=json&limit=1" -s)

if [[ $request == "[]" ]]; then
	echo "No locations found, consider removing some search terms"
	exit
fi

read -p "If this is not the location you wanted, consider adding search terms
Are you sure you want to add $(echo $request | sed 's/.*"display_name":"//' | sed 's/".*//')? [y/n] : " answer

if [[ ! $answer == "y" ]]; then
	echo "Not adding location"
	exit
else
	echo "Adding location"
fi

id=$(echo $request | sed 's/.*"place_id"://' | sed 's/,.*//')

name=$(curl "https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=$id&format=json" -s | sed 's/.*"name": "//' | sed 's/".*//')

lat=$(echo $request | sed 's/.*"lat":"//' | sed 's/".*//')
lat=$(echo "$lat / (180 / 3.141592654)" | bc -l)

lon=$(echo $request | sed 's/.*"lon":"//' | sed 's/".*//')
lon=$(echo "$lon / (180 / 3.141592654)" | bc -l)

if [[ $system == 1 ]]; then
	locations=$(gsettings get org.gnome.Weather locations)
fi

if [[ $flatpak == 1 ]]; then
	locations=$(flatpak run --command=gsettings org.gnome.Weather get org.gnome.Weather locations)
fi

location="<(uint32 2, <('$name', '', false, [($lat, $lon)], @a(dd) [])>)>"

if [[ $system == 1 ]]; then
	if [[ ! $(gsettings get org.gnome.Weather locations) == "@av []" ]]; then
		gsettings set org.gnome.Weather locations "$(echo $locations | sed "s|>]|>, $location]|")"
	else
		gsettings set org.gnome.Weather locations "[$location]"
	fi
fi

if [[ $flatpak == 1 ]]; then
	if [[ ! $(flatpak run --command=gsettings org.gnome.Weather get org.gnome.Weather locations) == "@av []" ]]; then
		flatpak run --command=gsettings org.gnome.Weather set org.gnome.Weather locations "$(echo $locations | sed "s|>]|>, $location]|")"
	else
		flatpak run --command=gsettings org.gnome.Weather set org.gnome.Weather locations "[$location]"
	fi
fi

It occurred to me that some people might not know how to run scripts, so here's a brief tutorial:

It's exhausting and demanding but it's easy.

I hope I'll make it to my first real app! I can read and write code but I have only basic experience in app development. But the process is well documented and easy to understand. Thanks!

I Gnome 44, when I double click a archive, the archive is extracted in a subdir of the current directory. Is it possible to change that behavior, so that a window opens with the contents of the clicked archive?

My usual workflow involves quite a good deal of side-by-side windows:

For each "thing" I'm working on, viewing, doing, I use a separate desktop w/ all the required windows in there. For example when coding, for each project I usually have got an Emacs window, a Firefox window, often a Nautiuls window and occasionally an Alacirtty window open.

Managing that kind of window placement has always been a hassle for me. The default snap-to-edge in Gnome works quite well but is limited.

That's until I found out about Tactile a few days ago: it's a Gnome Shell extension that helps you place windows in a configurable tile set.

I've been using it for a couple of days now and it has really upped my workflow substantially. Here's a shout out to the developer 👏

• Practical and smart idea
• Stable implementation
• Easy to use - gets out of your way
• Reasonably configurable

Definitely worth trying out ✅

I saw the issue open here regarding a configurable Zstandard compression level for Nautilus Compressor, but I'm not sure how to reveal Zstandard compression in Nautilus as a compressor option in the first place. Is this possible? If so, how can I do it? I'm already aware nautilus-scripts is a thing, but I'm looking for a solution specifically in this dropdown menu. Thanks!

How can I see how much memory each extension is using?

This is a fork of QGnomePlatform updated to the new LibAdwaita look

There's no flatpak version yet (which is why it doesn't work in flatpak applications) but the developer said on Reddit that he's gonna make one

Is there a way to make those title bars look more like GTK 4? Here's what they look like:

It doesn't really fit into the desktop because of the gradient and the buttons.

I recently purchased, ripped, and almost finished transcoding the entire series of Friends. I’m currently in the process of converting subtitles with Subtitle Edit. I’d like to save myself a bit of work by taking the last 13-14 characters off the ends of the file names.

For example, I’d like to take track13[spa] off of the following filename: 03x10 - The One Where Rachel Quits_track13_[spa].sup

Or is this not possible with Nautilus?
