Description Jeremy Bicha 2011-08-05 20:09:29 UTC
As reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=719675 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/816762

Alt+F2 no longer runs commands. The special developer commands (r and lg) still work but trying to run any other program returns "command not found."
Comment 1 Giovanni Campagna 2011-08-06 11:28:48 UTC
Can't reproduce it here, with jhbuilt gnome-shell master.
Comment 2 Jeremy Bicha 2011-08-06 15:44:21 UTC
I retested on Fedora 16 and Alt+F2 works there so I think this was fixed by Gnome Shell 3.1.4. I'm going to go ahead and mark this fixed then.
Comment 3 Anders Kaseorg 2011-08-07 22:33:46 UTC
This isn’t fixed in 3.1.4.  The problem I’m seeing is that GLib.shell_parse_argv(command_line) is returning a result like
  [true,3,command,with,arguments]
instead of what gnome-shell appears to expect:
  [true,[command,with,arguments]]
Is that a recent API change?

This is a change in gjs. We need to bump F15 to have the latest gjs.
Comment 5 Anders Kaseorg 2011-08-21 18:19:25 UTC
Huh.  Ubuntu oneiric upgraded gobject-introspection to 1.29.16-0ubuntu1 and gjs to 1.29.16-0ubuntu2, but GLib.shell_parse_argv(command_line) is still returning an explicit length.  What else could be wrong?
Comment 6 Anders Kaseorg 2011-08-21 18:49:49 UTC
Oh, never mind.  The problem is that Ubuntu crippled the GLib annotations in gobject-introspection with this upload:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gobject-introspection/1.29.0-0ubuntu2
Sorry for the noise.

Can you report the problem downstream please?
Comment 8 Anders Kaseorg 2011-08-21 19:54:42 UTC
Yep, already did.
