Mirvcan someone check if https://code.launchpad.net/~timo-jyrinki/compiz/blacklist_remove_double_escape_from_xml/+merge/140139 makes sense? seems to work for me, although radeon's natural tear-freeness made it a bit difficult to test for me (plus that I can't actually use the default string but need to modify it for AMD)07:39
Mirvok, it makes sense from setting point of view but apparently not from compiling point of view, unfortunately :(10:28
Mirvsolvable at least by using just a dot instead, even though of course it means "any character" instead of the actual dot10:42

m000gleHi, I just wanted to contact the Unity Team to voice my concern regarding local Dash searches by default being sent to Canonical and/or Amazon for the purposes of returning online search results.17:28
m000gleAs a user currently living in a country with a less than democratic government, and fairly strong restrictions on the internet, this is a huge problem for me, even if these searches are finally SSL encrypted.  It is also a problem which will make me think twice about using the Unity DE and recommending it to less technically inclined users.17:28
m000gleThe problem is two-fold:  1. Any dash searches being sent unencrypted essentially become a keylogger and, even if I trust Canonical with my data, becomes a security issue when the "man-in-the-middle" is inevitably watching ... 2. The SSL encryption of searches is problematic if/when Canonical's SSL ports become blocked by government filters, as it could cause the network connection to be dropped for seconds/minutes at a time.17:29
m000gleI am well aware of how to disable this "feature", and technical means to get around the government issues, but not all users are.  As such, you should really consider making this "feature" opt-in, as opposed to opt-out, and possibly ask users during installation if they would like in enabled.  Any user who declines would not see the packages/functionality installed in the first place.17:30

popeym000gle, you'r better off adding this to a comment on bug 107059817:55

jrrhow might I disable alpha effects? don't see it in CCSM21:51
jrr(based on my experiments dragging windows around, I suspect alpha is responsible for much of the terrible performance I'm experiencing. intel i915.)21:53
bschaeferjrr, what you want is blur22:01
bschaeferin CCSM, under General -> Dash Blur22:02
bschaeferchange that to no blur, and you should see some improvements :)22:02
bschaeferand if you change that to no blur you'll want to change the Background Color above that setting to have more opacity so things wont be super transparent22:03
jrrI see no 'dash blur' (12.10)22:04
bschaeferhmm im pretty sure its in 12.10...let me check22:04
bschaeferjrr, o its under experimental in 12.1022:05
jrrneed I disable 'automatic plugin sorting' to get experimental things?22:05
bschaeferno, it should be under Unityshell plugin22:06
jrrI kind of like conflict handling22:06
bschaeferforgot to mention that22:06
bschaeferso in CCSM -> UnityShell Plugin -> Experimental -> Dash Blur22:06
jrrah! thanks!22:06
jrrs/UnityShell Plugin/Ubuntu Unity Plugin/22:07
jrrthis seems slightly better22:07
bschaeferopps22:07
bschaeferIm using an xml file to figure out where it is :)22:07
* bschaefer is on 13.0422:07
jrralthough now without the blur it's hard to read text on dash22:07
jrropacity?22:07
bschaeferjrr, yes, now look at Background Color22:08
bschaeferit is set to 0% opacity22:08
bschaeferwhich should also be under Experimental22:08
jrrah, wunderbar22:09
bschaeferyay! it should be a lot faster now :)22:10
jrrnow, when I drag windows around, they actually track my cursor22:10
jrrit was more of a leader-follower relationship before22:10
bschaeferhaha, that is not good!22:10
jrrIt's weird to me to see hardware requirements for a linux desktop.. I guess that's the cost of progress22:11
bschaeferthough you can blame the launcher blur for that, you might be able to get things to go faster if you set the launcher to auto hide as well22:11
bschaeferso it doesn't have to keep redrawing it22:11
