Meta.Rectangle is deprecated, use Mtk.Rectangle instead

[Daniel van Vugt]

[ Impact ]

The gnome-shell 45.rc log fills with:

Meta.Rectangle is deprecated, use Mtk.Rectangle instead

[ Test case ]

Run ubuntu with ubuntu extensions enabled (only).
journalctl /usr/bin/gnome-shell should not contain any reference to Meta.Rectangle deprecation

[ Regression potential ]

Introspected types are not defined and so extensions may try to use undefined code.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hey, gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock is not something that we (release team) are planning to accept ahead of Mantic release, so we're going to let it be in the unapproved queue and consider this for a 0-day SRU.

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

Corrado, I think this is not a big deal. The deprecation warning is just a warning, so everything should still work even when using Meta instead of Mtk.

This is an update that we can also get at later point, so I think Utkarsh is fine to wait (and I also was expecting this to happen, thus I adapted the bug report to the SRU template).

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

Yes The deprecation warning is just a warning, but I have the log full of warning messages and i want debug a problem my journalctl is almost unusable

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Only if a message happens frequently will it be a big performance problem. Because then it's triggering a filesystem journal flush every 5 seconds, which blocks in the log write, which blocks the shell, which is seen as screen stutter.

[Andreas Hasenack (ahasenack)]

This bug is ready for verification. Due to the status mantic was in when the package was accepted, the tooling failed to add the template comment to this bug, and add the tags, and I did all of that manually now.

how can I install gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock (87ubuntu2) for mantic? I don't see it in proposed.

[Pablo Hörtner (redtux2000)]

Hi Angel, maybe your sources list needs to be adjusted accordingly? I have it in the sources:

apt policy gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock
gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock:
  Installed: 87ubuntu1
  Candidate: 87ubuntu1

Regarding the bug, I can confirm that by removing the gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package I could get rid of those log warnings (although the ubuntu-desktop-minimal package depends on gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock).

[Angel D. Segarra (angel-segarra)]

Thanks Pablo, I must've done something wrong. Installed it now and issue solved for me on mantic.

Hello,

The priority of manic-proposed is lower (100) than mantic (500). You can override it in `/etc/apt/preferences.d`, see `/usr/share/doc/apt/examples` or manually install the package you want from mantic-proposed:

```
apt-get install gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock=87ubuntu2
```

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

Thanks, after new install and restart problem is solved
thanks again

[Angel D. Segarra (angel-segarra)]

Hi, should gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock 87ubuntu2 have already migrated from mantic-proposed? I'm assuming this process is automatic. Thanks.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

It was blocked waiting on bug 2038783 verification but is unblocked now.

[Andreas Hasenack (ahasenack)]

The verification of the Stable Release Update for gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock has completed successfully and the package is now being released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regressions.

geoleo0, please file a new bug if you are experiencing an issue, because comments on closed bugs might not be seen.

If you do file a bug, I encourage you to provide details in English. I believe you can prefix a command with something like LANGUAGE=en so like this:

$ LANGUAGE=en sudo apt install

Please note that you need to log out and log back in after installing this update.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

geoleo0, you can find the cause with:

grep -r Meta.Rectangle /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄 (popey)]

Why do we have to file a new bug for this. The task for mantic says it's fix released, but it clearly isn't.

This bug was filed against mantic, it's a mantic bug. So the status of 'fixed released' is clearly just incorrect, surely?

Alan, the fix for mantic is released in version 87ubuntu2, not 87ubuntu1. It was published to mantic updates last November so I'm not sure why you wouldn't have received it yet.
