I received the update last night. So far all good, except for Ubuntu Dock (and Dash to Dock too) crashing. Also desktop icons is not being loaded. I imagine there are still some incompatibilities.
This is what I can read in the logs from Gnome Software:
not GsPlugin error g-io-error-quark:36: GDBus.Error:org.gnome.Shell.DownloadExtensionError: 404
Extensions installed or updated from the GNOME Extensions website seem to have caused most of my upgrade problems over the last year or two. I’ve removed some of my local extensions and full functionality has been restored by relying mainly on those extensions provided by the Ubuntu repositories.
Removing all extensions seems to be a good idea before upgrading. And waiting for the final 3.34 release especially with the extensions from the Gnome-shell extension website.
I will certainly do that before upgrading myself. Maybe this weekend already, because your reports indicate an experience that is more than acceptable.
Everything went reasonably well with just some scary moments when my user was logged out during the install and when I resumed update-manager it gave some scary sounding errors and my system froze:
But after a complete shutdown the install was completed and everything is rather fast and stable now and the new folder management in the desktop grid is great.
I am not too sure if I like it that all my mounted hard partitions are always shown in the dock now. I would have that rather limited to external drives like USB sticks.
One other thing I noticed with the docK: do you feel that the icons are harder to be moved around with Eoan?
When bringing up the Date/Time popup, different time zones and the weather were always shown within the popup, but now “Add world clocks…” and “Choose place…” are shown instead. I have to bring up gnome-weather and gnome-clocks themselves to see that information. Is that a problem for everybody? Or is it just me?
Two themes at the same time. Not a bug, I believe.
And, Ermine looking on.
Touchscreen movements, such as zooming, scrolling doesn’t work with Firefox, but works normally with Vivaldi. Also works with Nautilus, such as expanding, moving around etc.
Can put different apps in a folder, still unnamed, just by dragging in. Don’t know how to rename that “Unnamed F…” yet. No more than 10 characters are shown. (This might be a bug.)
EDIT: Found how. org>gnome>desktop>app-folders>folders and changed the name to Accessories.
For the moment, I rename the Category folders with 10 characters or less. Found how to do that.
Can understand why the “upstream” doesn’t add more than 2 folders, Sundry and Utilities, even though one can now drag and drop app icons to make folders. If they added System Tools, there’d be a problem with “System T…”
You are right. Checked that in other distros too. Had not been using Firefox for last 5-6 years. It comes as default with distros, sometimes gets uninstalled, sometimes just stays there.
