BUG: Eagle and Gnome 3 Error

e14 Contributor

I've had a quick search and haven't found anything which sheds any light on

this problem, and I'm sure it only affects a small minority of people. I've

upgraded a Linux Distro today and found that eagle doesn't work on the new

Gnome 3 window manager. (Pity as I'm kinda liking Gnome 3.)

 

Basically Gnome 3 can't display the Board window, only the Schematic

editor. I've not gotten too far into but basically turned tail and

installed KDE, on which eagle still works, beautifully image . I run between a

few netbooks, laptops and desktops and I'm currently migrating to more

recent distros. I tried this in OpenSUSE 12.1 with Gnome 3.

 

I can't offer any more then that but if you want specific info I can

reinstall on a machine and provide into if requested.

    Sorry for the delay been waiting to get back to a Gnome3 Machine

     

    Yes the beta version works when tested on Gnome3 on OpenSUSE 11.04 I'll try

    it on the latest OpenSUSE but I assume there should be no problem with it.

    Thanks a million for the pointer.

    Which EAGLE version did you install, 5.11?  Could you please try it

    with the current beta version which is available via:
