Hi and thank you for keeping your awesome work through all these years! And now for this round of things not (yet) compiling :

• gnome-contacts-3.26
  Same problem already reported by At4ri and same fix by saboya.
  
  
• simple-scan-3.25.1
  ebuild needs to be ported to meson:
  

  Code:

  >>> Configuring source in /var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/simple-scan-3.25.1/work/simple-scan-3.25.1 ... grep: ./configure: No such file or directory grep: ./configure.*: No such file or directory grep: ./configure: No such file or directory grep: ./configure: No such file or directory grep: ./configure: No such file or directory grep: ./configure: No such file or directory grep: ./configure: No such file or directory

  
  
  
• nautilus-tracker-tags-2.0.1
  

  Code:

  >>> Emerging (1 of 1) gnome-extra/nautilus-tracker-tags-2.0.1::dantrell-gnome-3-26  * tracker-2.0.1.tar.xz SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL size ;-) ...                                                                                       [ ok ] >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking tracker-2.0.1.tar.xz to /var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/nautilus-tracker-tags-2.0.1/work >>> Source unpacked in /var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/nautilus-tracker-tags-2.0.1/work  * ERROR: gnome-extra/nautilus-tracker-tags-2.0.1::dantrell-gnome-3-26 failed (prepare phase):  *   The source directory '/var/tmp/portage/gnome-extra/nautilus-tracker-tags-2.0.1/work/tracker-2.0.1/src/plugins/nautilus' doesn't exist

  
  Actually the whole ${S}/src/plugins is missing from tracker source code, so I don't know?

Gnome-tweak-tool did work for me yesterday (but refused to relaunch after closing it for some minutes)

I wasnt able to replicate this misbehaviour but will see if i can test this and other things later again.

[Shibotto]

Something I didn't realize right away, but I noticed now that I finished compiling on my laptop: thumbnailers or whatever is calling them seem to be broken. Already generated thumbnails display fine though.

adding my google account in gnome-control-center it crashes with segfault
reopening it shows that the account has been added successfully.

i wasn't able to reproduce the gnome-tweak-tool error

trying to start gnome-photos via cli:

I'm having some weird crashes / hangs in my laptop, Intel onboard GPU (i5-4210U).

Today I realized my Nautilus isnt generating thumbnails for videos anymore. It works with images and PDFs, but not with ANY video file. Actually, I cant play any video file with Totem, but mp3s and FLACs do work. Im not sure when it started acting like this, I havent used Nautilus in a long time, but Im sure it used to work!

I remember updating ffmpeg last week, and had to re-emerge mpv to get it work without ABI errors. I tried re-emerging Totem but it didnt help. Actually, Im not sure if Totem even uses ffmpeg, think its using GStreamer.

Im on gnome-3.22 currently. Anyone else having errors? Anyone have ideas whats going on?

Hi and first of all, thank you for the great work

I'd like to install gnome without systemd, but still keep my plasma 5, so I am wondering, how I could do this. I cannot switch the profile, as I loose all the useflags from the default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma profile.

Thanks in advance for any useful hint.

Dantrell you magician! :)

Thanks for still supporting gnome-3.22. It works perfectly for me so I dont want to upgrade. I dont use totem to watch videos but I knew Nautilus by default uses totem to make thumbnails. I synced up, and upgraded, and now everything gets thumbnailed! Thanks so much!

Combination of profiles sounds promising, but I have problems in understanding and reproducing step 3. Especially as I cannot locate the dantrell-gnome:default/amd64/3.26 (and or /extended) to combine it with the plasma profile. I added overlay with layman and with eselect profile list they show up.

Edit: Had another idea, and selected 3.26/extended profile, did an emerge --info, and switched back to my plasma profile and compared.

Result: Following uses from dantrell-gnome-3-26-extended were msising compared with plasma profile so I added them in make.conf.
