GNOME 3.38 support, please. Don't works on 3.38. about drop-down-terminal-x HOT 15 CLOSED

Also getting this

vfunc_paint extension.js:158:39
JS ERROR: TypeError: Object 0x2c2197673df0 is not a subclass of GObject_Object, it's a GFundamental_Object

looking for a solution

from drop-down-terminal-x.

Here is the root cause: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/-/issues/353

So the SouthBorderEffect is probably not going to work until a fix is released upstream. I'd disable it until further notice.

#82 fixes the problem for me

#82 fixes the problem for me

But not fixes the problem for me on 3.38. The immediately extension hangs when opened by hotkey. Then only reboot or relog helps...

from drop-down-terminal-x.

Here is journalctl -a | grep 'terminal-x\|JS-ERROR' output on Archlinux with #82 applied: https://pastebin.com/GJJCF1eP

Steps:

• Hotkey to activate extension

Notes:
The terminal is present but is not rendered. Its presence is noticeable because the space occupied by it captures mouse events to windows below it. It seems to work as expected (verified by running commands), it's just completely transparent.

The two locations mentionned in the log (lines 120:39 and 733:9) are reproduced below.

You are using wayland or x-session?

you could try this solution

Tried both, both don't work.

Maybe later...

Can make the extension work by applying the Tweener => Clutter changes plus removing the SouthBorderEffect that is causing those warnings.

patch.txt

(I'd also take a moment to mention that I hate each year more and more Gnome developers for being incompetent asshats at maintaining a semblance of backwards compatibility or of care about anyone but themselves)

from drop-down-terminal-x.

fixed in d6d1a1b, but I need to test it in previous gnome versions before I can publish it.

Published

Thanks. Note that GJS fixed the bug in version 1.67.1, so I think only version 1.66.1 is affected. You could re-implement skipping that version for the border. But IMHO I don't see any difference without the border, and less code is better :)

@bigbn Thanks, but your extension works on GNOME 3.38 only if manually installed from your repo, but I can't install it from extension's web page.

The extension does not work for me on Fedora 33 with wayland.

The log output shows:

I got the same problem on a Gentoo system (gnome-shell 3.36.5 on wayland).

Nasty workaround: Delete the extension under https://extensions.gnome.org and reinstall it there (after the gnome-shell wayland-session is started).

Maybe we have to open a new issue?
