Verify behavior against upstream
This page describes how to root cause the origin of bugs.
Regolith is composed of several existing open-source projects plus some additional custom packages. Sometimes when a bug is found in Regolith, actually it’s a bug in an upstream project. Determining the source of bugs is a first step in getting them fixed.
Check gnome-flashback
Most of Regolith’s GNOME support comes from the gnome-flashback
project. To run a gnome-flashback
session, install the session and log back in to your account after selecting that session from the login screen.
- Install the
gnome-session-flashback
session:
sudo apt install gnome-session-flashback
- Restart your computer and then select the
GNOME Flashback (Metacity)
session as shown here:
- Verify your behavior against Regolith. If the problematic behavior also exists in
gnome-flashback
then the bug is likely there. If the bug does not exist in thegnome-flashback
then it’s likely to be in Regolith.
