TheMusoI am starting to hate the new nautilus.00:20
TheMusoI want my keyboard shortcut accessible menus back.00:20
kenvandineTheMuso, yeah i thought i liked the new nautilus but have changed my mind00:34
TheMusoHow are people going to know that all the various menu bits that they want are available by clicking the gear icon. Intuativenot IMO.00:38
jbichaTheMuso: wow I didn't realize that gear menu thing wasn't really keyboard accessible :(01:08
jbichathose embedded Edit & View menus are pretty horrible too01:09
RAOFOh, wow.01:11
RAOFYes.01:11
RAOFYou know, there is actually a reason that menu bars exist :/01:11
jbichaepiphany's is a bit better because there aren't as many options (& they can kinda follow what Chrome has done)01:12
RAOFI don't think I like what they've done with the application menu, either.01:15
TheMusoI originally thought the menu proxy was making things screwy, so I launched an instance of nautilus with it disabled, which made no difference.01:31
RAOFYeah, I think that single menu is what's meant to be there.01:32
TheMusoYep.01:32
TheMusoBut I thought the menu proxy may have blocked shortucts that may have worked to open the gear menu and submenus...01:32
TheMusoshortcuts01:32
robru I actually like the new nautilus, but yeah it does need some help with the keyboard shortcuts. then again, perhaps I'm biased as my own personal application I developed to not have a menubar, only a simple toolbar and a tiny shell menu.01:33
TheMusorobru: Please please please whatever you do, test with the Orca csreen reader, and check keyboard accessibility for comon functions.01:33
TheMusogah my typing sucks today.01:34
robrunever used orca, good call. I'll give it a shot.01:34
RAOFOoh, it looks like nautilus' type-ahead-find got better, at least.01:34
TheMusoIt did? Not in my experience so far.01:34
RAOFHm. Or, rather, different.01:34
TheMusoIMO its worse.01:34
robruI do make sure to have reasonable keyboard shortcuts though.01:34
RAOFIt's now a true recursive search, but you don't get the awesome behaviour of highlighting the thing that you want.01:35
RAOFUrgh. Also, no backspace. That's going to trip me up *all* the time.01:35
TheMusoYep me too, I use backspace a lot to go up in the directory tree.01:37
RAOFThere's no longer *any* button to go up the directory tree, either.01:37
TheMusoAwesome.01:38
brycehsounds like nautilus ought to be reverted01:38
TheMusobryceh: If we value our user's sanity, perhaps.01:38
TheMusoHell if we value our own sanity.01:38
RAOFOh, I guess there *is* the breadcrumb bar, which is kinda go-up-a-directory.01:38
chrisccoulsonhah, oh, nautilus :(01:39
chrisccoulsonhttps://twitter.com/chrisccoulson/status/227446961849122817 ;)01:39
TheMusochrisccoulson: Yeah agreed, plus the above. I can't get to menus with the keyboard, which is a show stopper. Well, not easily anyway. I can do so if I tab around a bit, and trya and work out which button in the toolbar has focus.01:40
chrisccoulsonTheMuso, yeah. i can normally adapt to most things, but I think i'm going to struggle to like the new version :/01:41
TheMusoLooks like I'll be using the terminal for all file management now. I enjoyed using nautilus for file management.01:44
robruwell, yeah. Where else are you going to write perl one liners for batch renaming files? ;-)01:45
chrisccoulsoni hate the separation of the appmenu and the gear menu too01:45
chrisccoulsonalthough, i dislike the gear menu entirely in nautilus. it only really works if it's not full of submenus01:45
RAOFYeah.01:45
TheMusoAgreed to both the above.01:46
TheMusorobru: Batch renames are always terminal of course. :)01:46
RAOFIf you've got a couple of menu items a single menu makes sense; if you've got a significant amount of functionality in a couple of different categories exposed there, it doesn't.01:46
chrisccoulsonthere's a reason why we disable the firefox button in firefox (because it sucks for basically the same reason as the gear menu)01:46
TheMusoBut nautilus is useful when one has to move large files, as one doesn't neet to keep a terminal open, and one gets a progress update for the most part.01:47
TheMusoI'd love to see the design team's reaction when they see these changes.01:48
robruTheMuso, I don't feel that it's design is flawed per se, it just seems to me like a few implementation bugs. better keyboard shortcuts and then boil the menus down to the more simpler essentials and it could be just fine.02:09
jbichaok, I reported https://bugzilla.gnome.org/680567 & https://bugzilla.gnome.org/68056802:36
TheMusojbicha: Thanks, the latter was one I was going to file, but I was going to do so after the break I just had. Thanks.02:44
* jbicha wonders what Ubuntu Online Accounts is, and finds it humorous that it's included in GNOME (empathy) but currently disabled in Ubuntu02:49
* RAOF is a bit sad about gnome-online-accounts02:51
micahgkenvandine: it seems like the pointer isn't being restricted to the contents that it should02:51
micahgkenvandine: in the 3 instances I've seen, there's junk appended past the end of where the data should stop02:54
kenvandineinteresting02:55
* micahg wonders why it would be i386 only02:55
kenvandinethat is what is most odd02:57
* micahg wonders if something isn't null terminating a string somewhere, but that should be on all archs vs just i38602:58
kenvandineyeah, it is strange02:58
kenvandineif you figure it out... please fix it :) if not i'll work on it more tomorrow02:59
micahgunfortunately, I can't spend more time on it, I can file a bug upstream though03:00
kenvandinei plan to talk to upstream tomorrow03:00
micahgah, ok, I'll leave it for you then03:00
kenvandinei am also curious to see if 0.19.3 has the same problem03:01
kenvandinewhich built before03:01
kenvandinei have to finish some libaccounts stuff now though :)03:01
micahgkenvandine: I've just kicked off a test build, will let you know03:02
kenvandinecool03:02
kenvandinethx03:02
* micahg looks inquisitively at --disable-Werror03:06
micahgkenvandine: 0.19.3 passed03:10
kenvandinegood03:10

ShinobiI've installed gnome shell from the launchpad ppa, but when I login via the Gnome (as opposed to the Gnome Classic) desktop, it only goes the the fallback gnome, not the full blown gnome3. Am I missing something?21:38
jbichaShinobi: you need to have working 3D graphics, you probably don't need a PPA though to use gnome-shell21:47
Shinobianyway to check if I have the hardware I need?21:59
