micahgjbicha: ping04:57
jbichamicahg: hi04:58
micahghi jbicha, was looking at your gnome-shell branch, but it seems it already got upload05:00
micahgso, nevermind :)05:00
micahgjbicha: actually, do you want to rebase for the other changes?05:00
micahgmy question was going to be the reason for bumping the deps05:01
jbichathanks for looking at it!05:02
micahgit seems like your first revision was uploaded before the second got added05:03
jbichagnome-shell won't run with 1.29.15 and I don't think it's tested at all except if you run the lastest release of everything05:03
jbichayes, two people were looking at the merge simultaneously so I figured I'd just wait on bumping the deps for the next upload05:04
jbichagnome-shell has too many dependencies :-(05:04
micahgjbicha: well, it's upstream's version of a meta package05:05
micahglike our ubuntu-desktop05:05
micahgjbicha: a suggestion would be to review the diff in configure before uploading a new version05:05
jbichain this case, gnome-shell didn't bother upping the gjs dependency but I try to look at the configure diff, sometimes I forget05:06

jbichadesrt: I can't figure out how to get dconf locks to work in Ubuntu16:50
desrtjbicha: i solved your bug already :)16:55
desrtjbicha: and see https://live.gnome.org/dconf/SystemAdministrators16:56
jbichadesrt: I followed the two paragraphs at the end but I can still change my background16:59
desrtjbicha: interesting17:00
desrtdid you logout/login after setting up the new profile?17:00
jbichaI created a file, /etc/dconf/profile/system.d/locks/file , let me try rebooting too17:01
desrtwait...17:01
desrtsigh.17:01
desrtworks better when you read the whole thing....17:01
chrisccoulsonhi desrt17:03
chrisccoulsonhow are you?17:03
desrtpretty good17:03
desrtjbicha: please read the entire page17:03
desrtit won't work if you just follow the last couple of paragraphs17:03
jbichadesrt: oh so it's a bit more complicated, thanks17:04
desrtjbicha: usually people don't lock down settings without first having settings to lock down17:07
desrt:)17:07
desrtjbicha: in anycase, the restart is needed to get the new profile noticed.  after that, you can make changes without restarting17:08
chrisccoulsonhmmm, why do my daily builds always break at the weekend?17:08
micahgchrisccoulson: because they're lonely17:21
jbichadesrt: I can't get my local profile to compile anything to /etc/dconf/db17:30
jbicha/etc/dconf/profile/local says user local on 2 lines & I have settings stored in /etc/dconf/profile/local.d17:32
desrtwhat happens when you say 'sudo dconf update'?17:33
jbichanothing prints out and I don't see any changes17:33
desrtodd.17:34
desrterm.17:34
desrtplease read the docs more carefully :)17:34
jbichaI'm trying! ;-)17:34
desrtlocal.d goes in /etc/dconf/db/, not /etc/dconf/profile/17:34
desrtThe remaining lines of the profile describe system databases. These databases are found in /etc/dconf/db/. Again, the name of the file to open in that directory is exactly as it is written in the profile and the file is expected to be in GVDB format. In our example, the files "/etc/dconf/db/local" and "/etc/dconf/db/site" would be opened.17:35
desrtand17:36
jbichaoh, it does say that17:36
desrtTo support the ability to configure the system with a text editor, dconf has introduced key file directories. For any given system database, a corresponding directory can be created (with ".d" added to the filename).17:36
* desrt clarifies by giving an example of a valid directory name in that second paragraph17:36
desrti grok that it's hard to read through paragraphs of text and remember everything :)17:40
=== abhinav_ is now known as abhinav-
jbichadesrt: the locks subdirectory should be in /etc/dconf/db/*.d not in profile/*.d/  right?18:12
desrtthere should be no /etc/profile/*.d/ at all18:12
desrtet.  dconf/profile18:12
jbichaok, I updated the wiki for that then, I got it to compile but I still can't get the setting to lock http://paste.ubuntu.com/687055/18:15
desrtOn startup, dconf consults the DCONF_PROFILE environment variable. If set, dconf will attempt to open the named profile, aborting if that fails. If the environment variable is not set, dconf will attempt to open the profile named "user".18:16
jbichado I have to set a variable for everyone?18:18
desrtmuch easier would be to name your profile "user"18:18
jbichaok, I'll try that18:18
jbichait still doesn't lock: http://paste.ubuntu.com/687080/ :-(18:25
desrtand you logged in/out after renaming everything?18:25
jbichayes and rebooted, does it work on your computer?18:25
desrtyes.18:25
desrttake some program that you are running inside of gnome and grep for dconf in its 'maps' file in proc18:26
desrtlike grep dconf /proc/`pidof gnome-terminal`/maps18:27
desrt!!!!18:27
* desrt sees the problem18:27
desrtyou really have to read more carefully :(18:28
jbichayou know I can't read!18:28
desrtThe first line is the name of the user's database.18:28
desrtThe remaining lines of the profile describe system databases. These databases are found in /etc/dconf/db/.18:28
desrtyou only have one line.  the first line.18:28
desrtThese databases are found in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/dconf/ (typically ~/.config/dconf/).18:28
desrtso it's not looking in /etc/dconf/db at all18:29
desrtdo this:18:29
desrtrename your db files back from user to 'local'18:29
desrtso you have /etc/dconf/db/local.d and /etc/dconf/db/local18:29
desrtthen put in your /etc/dconf/profile/user:18:29
desrtuser18:29
desrtlocal18:29
desrt(end of file)18:30
desrtie: almost exactly what is described on that wiki page...18:30
desrtminus 'site'18:30
jbichadesrt: thanks, that works, no /etc/dconf/profile/local needed at all18:34
desrtjbicha: i don't think the instructions ever suggested to create one :p18:36
jbichawell it did throw me on a rabbit trail with /etc/dconf/profile/system.d/locks but that's fixed now18:39
