| bhearsum | i 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 further | 19:59 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 888134 in gnome-desktop3 "automatic detection of plugged in / removed monitor is too aggressive" [High,Incomplete] | 19:59 |
| alex_mayorga | bhearsum: I'd say #ubuntu-x might be a better venue for your question | 20:21 |
| bhearsum | ah, i didn't know that existed | 20:21 |
| bhearsum | thanks | 20:21 |
| chrisccoulson | bhearsum, you don't have a dell by any chance do you? | 20:29 |
| bhearsum | i do, one of 24'' widescreens | 20:31 |
| bhearsum | U2410F | 20:32 |
| chrisccoulson | bhearsum, do you dock it? | 20:33 |
| bhearsum | no dock, nope | 20:34 |
| bhearsum | VGA in this case | 20:35 |
| chrisccoulson | ah, ok | 20:35 |
| bhearsum | (i tried displayport too, but that had different issues) | 20:35 |
| chrisccoulson | some dells like to simulate a fake videomode keypress when you dock them, which screws up the monitor detection | 20:35 |
| chrisccoulson | mine does this | 20:35 |
| bhearsum | yikes | 20:36 |
| chrisccoulson | so, gnome-settings-daemon correctly configures my display, but then the fake videomode keypress immediately selects a configuration i don't want | 20:36 |
| chrisccoulson | i was just wondering whether you might have a similar issue ;) | 20:36 |
| bhearsum | can i look for a kernel event or something to confirm? | 20:37 |
| bhearsum | because that's _similar_ to what happens to me | 20:37 |
| chrisccoulson | bhearsum, you could try starting your session with the media-keys plugin disabled in gnome-settings-daemon | 20:37 |
| chrisccoulson | which ubuntu version are you on? | 20:37 |
| bhearsum | 11.10 | 20:37 |
| chrisccoulson | ok, 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 disabled | 20:39 |
| bhearsum | i will give that a try! | 20:41 |
| chrisccoulson | hi m_conley, you about? | 21:54 |
| m_conley | chrisccoulson: hello! | 21:54 |
| chrisccoulson | hi, how are you? | 21:54 |
| m_conley | chrisccoulson: I'm well, and yourself? | 21:54 |
| chrisccoulson | m_conley, yeah, good thanks | 21:54 |
| chrisccoulson | m_conley, i was just wondering whether you had looked at the addressbook related items on https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-p-thunderbird-enhancements | 21:56 |
| m_conley | chrisccoulson: 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 |
| chrisccoulson | m_conley, ok, that's cool | 21:57 |
| chrisccoulson | thanks :) | 21:57 |
| m_conley | chrisccoulson: np. :) | 21:58 |
| chrisccoulson | interesting conversation about binary components on mozilla.dev.planning | 22:11 |
| chrisccoulson | not all binary components are bad ;) | 22:11 |

| chrisccoulson | bhearsum, any luck with the monitor stuff? | 22:50 |
| bhearsum | i didn't get a chance to test your suggestion yet | 22:51 |
| chrisccoulson | ah, no worries | 22:55 |
| bhearsum | going to try again tomorrow, with my home monitor this time :) | 22:56 |
| chrisccoulson | cool, thanks | 22:58 |
| chrisccoulson | it would be good if you have the same issue as me, because it's already on my list of things to fix ;) | 22:58 |
