Porteus-v5.0x86_64_bugs reports

Post#226 by **fulalas** » 09 Aug 2023, 14:13

@Majestic, there's a reason why Porteus uses gtk3-classic. If you change anything system-wise it will break the whole purpose of gtk3-classic.

AFAIK, there are only 2 solutions. Either we change how Firefox handles these buttons (see my workaround above) or we fix gtk3-classic to handle this specific issue.

Now it works for Cinnamon and LXDE in the gtk+3-classic, you need to add to /etc/profile, export GTK_CSD = 1

I confirm that.

I added

Code: Select all

export GTK_CSD=1

to /etc/profile and now (after reboot) I don't have issues with double title-bars

But it's broken some decoration of DE

Thanks to Majestic

Hi,

what if you just prefix the firefox or thunderbird command with that? ie.

Code: Select all

env GTK_CSD=1 thunderbird

ncmprhnsbl, thanks.
Now I fixed simple-scan.

i've now changed the update-firefox-live script so that the mozilla-firefox.desktop Exec line is:

Code: Select all

Exec=env GTK_CSD=1 firefox %u

this should allow 'tabs in titlebar' (which is turned off by default via distribution.ini) to work in cinnamon without double window decoration and to appear as an option in openbox/lxde/lxqt, for those that want it.
thanks to Majestic for the insights

note about cinnamon and gtk3-classic:
gtk3-classic patches don't remove any features, just change some defaults ( eg CSD off, overlay scrollbars off, file open dialog layout etc..)
afaiui, cinnamon apps have their own internal way of using(or not) gtk3 features eg. overlay scrollbars are used regardless of gtk3-classic and CSD is suppressed even using plain gtk3.
but these internal settings can be overridden by setting env variable.

What does CSD stand for in this context?

"client side decorations", meaning window decorations like titlebar being set by the "client" ie. the application rather than the window manager, eg. "tabs in titlebar" of firefox.

i noticed that this breaks the function of /opt/porteus-scripts/xorg/browser for firefox, so instead of using the .desktop method, we now have a script called 'firefox' in /usr/bin replacing what is usually a symlink to /usr/lib64/firefox-<version>/firefox
eg.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
exec env GTK_CSD=1 /usr/lib64/firefox-116.0.3/firefox "$@"

Maybe there's an easier solution:

Tell Firefox to use the window title bar by right clicking the tab bar → "Customise Toolbar..." and then checking "Title Bar" in the bottom-left.

that is already set as default in distrubution.ini
the point of enabling CSD as above is:
to allow you to uncheck "Title Bar" in the bottom-left if you want 'tabs in titlebar' without in cinnamon getting the 'double titlebar' and in DEs using openbox, allowing that option to appear.

Porteus XFCE v5 64bit, taken from the latest ISO at http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/current/ and installed as a VMWare virtual machine. Tried to download, install and run Chrome via Browser Selection Tool but got nothing visible after clicking on the corresponding browser icon. However, when I tried to run the executable file explicitly I got tons of weird errors (see the log). What's wrong with my installation and how to have it fixed?

e.g.about this one

Code: Select all

/opt/google/chrome/libGLESv2.so: /opt/google/chrome/libGLESv2.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied

Can you do a

Code: Select all

ls -l  /opt/google/chrome/libGLESv2.so

and post the output?
I presume you are user guest when trying to get chrome to run, then also be user guest when executing the ls -l as described above.
The error sounds like user guest has no read permission for /opt/google/chrome/libGLESv2.so
Or it could be the folder(s), then also check via ls -ld the folders:

Code: Select all

ls -ld  /opt/google/chrome/
ls -ld  /opt/google/

/opt/ should be readable for user guest.

Added in 3 minutes 58 seconds:
The "-d" option for the folders is crucial since you want the ls on the folder itself and not on the contents of the folder (as would be the case without the -d option)

works okay here in VirtualBox (as root and guest) .. i don't know anything about vmware setups.
your shasum looks correct.
a lot of those errors look like chrome doesn't like your virtual hardware.
