The default Clutter backend was changed from X11 to GDK in GNOME 3.16.
Ah okay let me try and update and see how it goes. can't believe I didn't see that in my research. thank you
turns out Gnome is already updated to GNOME 3.16. I did a full GNOME install from PacMan in Arch Linux, without the GNOME extras. Is there something I should verify?
so does that mean I would have to downgrade GNOME to 3.14.12? Im not sure I understand, do I not want GDK as the backend or do I?
export CLUTTER_BACKEND=x11
may get it work, but I think we should also try to fix the error.
very good, thank you very much. so simple yet perfect. Worked great indeed.
I saw this during my researching this may be a good starting point GDK3 - X Windows System Interaction
it included this if else statement
#ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_X11
if (GDK_IS_X11_DISPLAY (display))
{
// make X11-specific calls here
}
else
#endif
#ifdef GDK_WINDOWING_QUARTZ
if (GDK_IS_QUARTZ_DISPLAY (display))
{
// make Quartz-specific calls here
}
else
#endif
g_error ("Unsupported GDK backend");
maybe this could set this could be used to set this variable on first run.
this seemed to fix launching it, and seemed to run okay as far as i can tell based on the little testing, but on close this is the output in terminal now:
** Message: TerminalOutput.vala:386: Command mode entered
** (finalterm:4575): CRITICAL **: line_container_real_set_adjustments: assertion 'hadjustment != NULL' failed
(finalterm:4575): Clutter-CRITICAL **: clutter_container_add: assertion 'CLUTTER_IS_CONTAINER (container)' failed
im going to test some more and see how stable i can keep it with this env variable.
I remember the change is needed because they want to make whole GNOME 3.16 desktop run in wayland. (GTK+ and Clutter in GNOME 3.14 uses Xwayland)
i built finalterm from the git source here. I believe all the dependencies should be installed im on Arch Linux latest in Gnome 3 DM.
When launching the application from activities nothing happens, but when i run finalterm
from the terminal I get this error:
I did some heavy researching but was unable to find anything that references how to fix this. Just not sure what the next step is.
Thanks
