bhearsumi know it's offtopic for the channel, but anyone know how i can make something happen in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop3/+bug/888134? i don't know how to debug further19:59
ubot2Launchpad bug 888134 in gnome-desktop3 "automatic detection of plugged in / removed monitor is too aggressive" [High,Incomplete]19:59
alex_mayorgabhearsum: I'd say #ubuntu-x might be a better venue for your question20:21
bhearsumah, i didn't know that existed20:21
bhearsumthanks20:21
chrisccoulsonbhearsum, you don't have a dell by any chance do you?20:29
bhearsumi do, one of 24'' widescreens20:31
bhearsumU2410F20:32
chrisccoulsonbhearsum, do you dock it?20:33
bhearsumno dock, nope20:34
bhearsumVGA in this case20:35
chrisccoulsonah, ok20:35
bhearsum(i tried displayport too, but that had different issues)20:35
chrisccoulsonsome dells like to simulate a fake videomode keypress when you dock them, which screws up the monitor detection20:35
chrisccoulsonmine does this20:35
bhearsumyikes20:36
chrisccoulsonso, gnome-settings-daemon correctly configures my display, but then the fake videomode keypress immediately selects a configuration i don't want20:36
chrisccoulsoni was just wondering whether you might have a similar issue ;)20:36
bhearsumcan i look for a kernel event or something to confirm?20:37
bhearsumbecause that's _similar_ to what happens to me20:37
chrisccoulsonbhearsum, you could try starting your session with the media-keys plugin disabled in gnome-settings-daemon20:37
chrisccoulsonwhich ubuntu version are you on?20:37
bhearsum11.1020:37
chrisccoulsonok, so if you run "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys active false" and restart your session, that will ensure that the plugin which handles the videomode key is disabled20:39
bhearsumi will give that a try!20:41
chrisccoulsonhi m_conley, you about?21:54
m_conleychrisccoulson: hello!21:54
chrisccoulsonhi, how are you?21:54
m_conleychrisccoulson: I'm well, and yourself?21:54
chrisccoulsonm_conley, yeah, good thanks21:54
chrisccoulsonm_conley, i was just wondering whether you had looked at the addressbook related items on https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-p-thunderbird-enhancements21:56
m_conleychrisccoulson: I have indeed.  I have an attack plan on it, but I don't think I'll be able to do it until later next week.21:57
chrisccoulsonm_conley, ok, that's cool21:57
chrisccoulsonthanks :)21:57
m_conleychrisccoulson: np. :)21:58

chrisccoulsonbhearsum, any luck with the monitor stuff?22:50
bhearsumi didn't get a chance to test your suggestion yet22:51
chrisccoulsonah, no worries22:55
bhearsumgoing to try again tomorrow, with my home monitor this time :)22:56
chrisccoulsoncool, thanks22:58
chrisccoulsonit would be good if you have the same issue as me, because it's already on my list of things to fix ;)22:58
