GNOME Settings Daemon Changelog

What's new in GNOME Settings Daemon 3.34.2

Dec 30, 2019
  • Media-keys:
  • Place spawned processes into a systemd scope. For this to work, gnome-settings-daemon needs to be build with libgnome-desktop >= 3.34.2.1, as the API was added in that release.
  • Fixed saving screenshots to clipboard on wayland. For 3.34, this feature was fixed by using the X11 clipboard, saving to clipboard will indefinitely raise Xwayland if the Xwayland-on-demand experimental feature was enabled, and will not work at all if --no-x11 is passed to gnome-shell.

New in GNOME Settings Daemon 3.30.1.2 (Oct 5, 2018)

  • This release by default *removes* the new feature that was added in 3.29.0 to use SuspendAndHibernate when available. You can re-enable the feature using the "experimental_suspend_then_hibernate" meson option again.
  • There are two major issues with the new feature in the current form, and fixing it will require more changes that are not feasible in the stable release cycle.
  • The two main issues are:
  • * Hibernation is often not properly supported. The reasons range from it being simply impossible (secure boot), to driver and firmware issues when resuming and also distribution issues where the system is not correctly set-up and we cannot detect the issue.
  • * It was missed that the support added into g-s-d is incomplete and therefore creates an inconsistent user experience. In particular, we have four major methods to suspend the machine, but only two are affected:
  • - hardware power button: will use suspend-then-hibernate if enabled and available
  • - idle suspend: will use suspend-then-hibernate if enabled and available
  • - suspend in gnome-shell: always suspends
  • - lid closing: always suspends (systemd)
  • Also relevant in this discussion is the proposed change in upstream systemd to allow disabling hibernation even if it is detected to work: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/10262
