Gnome 3 and Shell now being used by LMDE_SID

trying to figure out how to drag and drop ICON ???:idea:

To put an icon on the desktop?

I cant drag or drop either.
I can right click and make a launcher.

Well after all the updates, this is the only problem it gives me, but I don't use any encryption and haven't noted anything wrong yet for it not working.

sudo: pam_mount.c:417: modify_pm_count: Assertion `user != ((void *)0)' failed.
Aborted

I have no idea on that one.

wyrdoak, are you using lightdm?

Sorry light dim not installed. I'm still trying to figure it out though.

I finally found what's wrong:

~ $ su
Password:
su: Authentication failure

sudo and gksu work but not su.


EDIT: also can't get to root in recovery mode.
EDIT: well I fix everything but the original problem

To enable root password:
sudo passwd root
enter new password and again to confirm.

Not really, since all icons appear already in application, what I was trying to do is drag icon to the top taskbar for ease of one-click-to-open-apps.
anyway figure that out, just drag from application whichever icon to the favorite on left hard side, it automatically appear on top taskbar..

thanks Gene

Hi Wayne.

There is an 'extension' that puts 'favorites' (from Shell right hand 'launcher') on the panel.


LOOK HERE http://intgat.tigress.co.uk/rmy/extensions/index.html
Its a part of the 'Frippery extension package'.
So far, its the only way I know of to put application icons on the panel.

Oh! I think you already figured that out.

For me the debian gnome kræptuːl is working now. I installed the shell extensions from here

http://intgat.tigress.co.uk/rmy/extensions/index.html

the frippery 0.2.5.tgz. To enable the user theme extension i use this package

http://pkgs.org/fedora-15/fedora-i386/g ... h.rpm.html

Now i'm able to test gnome shell themes from deviantart and i like this theme

What i don't like is the colored notification area within the lower range of the screen. I would like to have it transparent,
red that i have to edit the gnome-shell.css but don't know and can't find informations what to edit

Is there somebody out there who knows what to do?

Edit: I have it, in the section 'Message Tray' i deleted the content and filled in the content from another theme with
transparency message tray.

#message-tray {
background-gradient-direction: vertical;
background-gradient-start: rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
background-gradient-end: rgba(0,0,0,0.;
height: 34px;
color: white;

- hey, hey, where the smiley is, should be 8

Thank you Gene, i'm fine now with extensions and shell themes.

What i'm really missing is a working gnome alsamixer. The problem seems to be python-gobject and some girl stuff. If i want to
update it from experimental the gnome shell wants to be updated too. But the current version of python-gobject crashes
the shell
