| snadge | how do i move the unity bar thing from my secondary monitor to my primary one ? | 02:59 |
|---|---|---|
| snadge | xrandr --output HDMI1 --primary (apparently) | 03:08 |
| snadge | how intuitive ;) | 03:08 |
| spikeb | haha | 03:15 |
| RAOF | snadge: Yeah, the launcher's always on the primary display. | 03:19 |
| RAOF | That'd be perfectly intuitive if there was actually a GUI for setting the primary display :) | 03:19 |
| snadge | yeah its just there doesnt seem to be an easy way to set the primary display | 03:19 |
| snadge | lol yes | 03:19 |
| RAOF | (There is in gnome-control-centre 3.0) | 03:19 |
| Omega | jcastro: You here? (I know you're busy with organizing uds, this is about that) | 03:20 |
| snadge | im assuming gnome 3 didnt make it to 11.04 | 03:20 |
| Omega | jcastro: I wanted to ask if you saw this: http://thomas.apestaart.org/log/?p=1329 | 03:20 |
| RAOF | snadge: It indeed did not make it. Too much crazy porting changes needed :). | 03:20 |
| snadge | with compiz 0.9 AND the unity changes combined.. thats more than enough fail i think for this release ;) | 03:21 |
| snadge | desktop interface appears to be smooth on my g34/g35 after booting into the livecd.. so im thinking it was perhaps a borked dist-upgrade from 10.10 | 03:22 |
| snadge | im presuming there will be still window jerky issues if i load quanta or amsn though | 03:23 |
| * Nafai gets the crazy idea to use Emacs' dbus interface to talk to Unity to do dynamic quicklists | 03:37 | |
| * RAOF was about to go “emacs has a dbus interface”. Of *course* emacs has a dbus interface! | 03:38 | |
| Nafai | :) | 03:38 |
| Nafai | http://emacs-fu.blogspot.com/2009/01/using-d-bus-example.html | 03:39 |
| Omega | emacs is a nice piece of software :) | 03:39 |
| Nafai | indeed it is | 03:40 |
| Omega | Maybe we should hold a session/meeting on evaluating GNOME Shell, and looking at the things they did right, and incorporate those things into Unity. | 03:43 |
| OverTheHillAndFa | where to find kick ass nice brushed metal materials? | 04:02 |
| Omega | OverTheHillAndFa: Wrong channel? | 04:03 |
| OverTheHillAndFa | he he | 04:03 |
| OverTheHillAndFa | yes | 04:03 |
| OverTheHillAndFa | sorry | 04:03 |
| snadge | i was just discussing with a friend.. how nice it would be to be able to optionally embed the gnome panel.. in between where the application menu goes, and the indicator applet | 04:33 |
| snadge | so you can add your cpu frequency scaling apps.. weather.. etc.. into unity | 04:33 |
| snadge | you can sort of do an equivalent thing.. but just running the gnome-panel, and deleting the top one.. but on high resolution desktop systems, it would be nice to be able to use some of that wasted space up the top | 04:34 |
| snadge | i think i'll just use gnome classic desktop in the meantime.. its cute for netbooks though | 05:07 |

| hicham | morning didrocks | 10:31 |
| didrocks | hey hicham! | 10:31 |
| hicham | didrocks: I didn't figure out yet how to start unity properly on a livecd for example. Should compiz be using gconf backend to be able to do that ? | 10:34 |
| didrocks | hicham: it should just use a profile where the unityshell plugin is activated by default | 10:35 |
| didrocks | which, in ubuntu, is a compiz profile stored in gconf for instance | 10:36 |
| hicham | didrocks: so compiz is set to use gconf by default in ubuntu ? | 10:36 |
| didrocks | hicham: yeah, it's the default backend for both sessions (default one, which is used in the gnome-classic session and the ubuntu one, which just adds unity) | 10:38 |
| didrocks | hicham: you should try a livecd, and look at the compiz default gconf settings | 10:38 |
| didrocks | hicham: and the COMPIZCONFIG_PROFILE value | 10:39 |
| didrocks | this is what define the default profile | 10:39 |
| didrocks | and what's in the profile, which backend is used | 10:39 |
| hicham | didrocks: from what I have seen, COMPIZCONFIG_PROFILE is set by Xsession, and unity startup scripts take it and loads the settings from gconf | 10:40 |
| didrocks | hicham: right, look at /etc/compizconfig/ | 10:40 |
| didrocks | hicham: it's whete compiz is using COMPIZCONFIG_PROFILE to define that this profile is the gconf backend | 10:41 |
| didrocks | hicham: and then, look at the package, it has some gconf configuration for list of plugin enabled | 10:41 |
| hicham | didrocks: the issue for me is, we won't probably set compiz to use gconf by default, because it is used in other DEs as well | 10:41 |
| hicham | didrocks: in that case, I think I need to use an ini parser | 10:42 |
| didrocks | hicham: each profile define which backend is used | 10:42 |
| didrocks | as I just told above ;) | 10:42 |
| didrocks | hicham: did you look at what's in /etc/compizconfig/ ? | 10:42 |
| didrocks | /etc/compizconfig/config | 10:42 |
| didrocks | [general] | 10:43 |
| didrocks | backend = ini | 10:43 |
| didrocks | -> default profile (variable unset), use the ini backend | 10:43 |
| didrocks | [general_ubuntu] | 10:43 |
| didrocks | backend = gconf | 10:43 |
| didrocks | profile = unity | 10:43 |
| didrocks | -> ubuntu profile (from COMPIZCONFIG_PROFILE) use the gconf backend, using the unity profile in gconf | 10:43 |
| didrocks | I know, it's confusing, compiz has two "profiles" notions | 10:44 |
| kcin1 | hi,how can i disable unity-2d-spread | 10:46 |
| hicham | didrocks: what is the new workspace switcher ? | 10:50 |
| hicham | didrocks: I looked for it in compiz plugins, couldn't find it | 10:50 |
| didrocks | hicham: we are using the compiz "wall" plugin, nothing really fancy | 10:51 |
| didrocks | hicham: unity is depending on the "largedesktop" feature, which are provided by both cube (not really tested/integrated) and wall | 10:51 |
| hicham | didrocks: I am using wall+expo | 10:51 |
| didrocks | yeah, that's what we are using with unity | 10:52 |
| kcin1 | is there a way to disable unity components | 10:54 |
| hicham | didrocks : no luck | 11:13 |
| hicham | didrocks: I added [general_unity] to /etc/compizconfig/config | 11:13 |
| hicham | put the Xsession file | 11:14 |
| hicham | but profile doesn't seem to get switched | 11:14 |
| hicham | I also used unity as default window manager in the session file | 11:14 |
| didrocks | hicham: does the Xsession file set "unity" in your session? | 11:25 |
| hicham | didrocks: http://fpaste.org/dw6C/ | 11:28 |
| didrocks | hicham: and you have a unity.desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions/ right? | 11:28 |
| hicham | didrocks: http://fpaste.org/cPN0/ | 11:30 |
| didrocks | hicham: ok, and I think the name is unity.desktop isn't it? the pastebin doesn't show that | 11:31 |
| didrocks | hicham: I need to go now (lunch time). but if it's the case, ensure that your gconf "unity" profile have unityshell by default as in the ubuntu package | 11:32 |
| didrocks | (compiz ubuntu package) | 11:32 |
| hicham | exit | 12:07 |
| hicham | exit | 12:07 |

| jamalta | Pretto: you can open a Terminal, and run unity --replace | 19:11 |
| Pretto | jamalta: i will try | 19:14 |
