[07:39] <Mirv> can 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)
[10:28] <Mirv> ok, it makes sense from setting point of view but apparently not from compiling point of view, unfortunately :(
[10:42] <Mirv> solvable at least by using just a dot instead, even though of course it means "any character" instead of the actual dot
[10:51] <mitya57> hi, can anybody please comment on lp:~mitya57/ubuntu-themes/remove-desktop?
[10:51] <mitya57> more specifically, is (will) there any code that's still using those icons?
[10:52] <mitya57> s/will/will be/
[11:28] <mitya57> Laney: they don't reply, so I'll just request their review in the MP
[14:58] <tuxskar> hello
[14:58] <davmor2> tuxskar: hello
[14:58] <tuxskar> someone has ever use "Mago" for test PyGTK apps?
[17:28] <m000gle> Hi, 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] <m000gle> As 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.
[17:29] <m000gle> The 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.
[17:30] <m000gle> I 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.
[17:55] <popey> m000gle, you'r better off adding this to a comment on bug 1070598
[21:51] <jrr> how might I disable alpha effects? don't see it in CCSM
[21:53] <jrr> (based on my experiments dragging windows around, I suspect alpha is responsible for much of the terrible performance I'm experiencing. intel i915.)
[22:01] <bschaefer> jrr, what you want is blur
[22:02] <bschaefer> in CCSM, under General -> Dash Blur
[22:02] <bschaefer> change that to no blur, and you should see some improvements :)
[22:03] <bschaefer> and 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 transparent
[22:04] <jrr> I see no 'dash blur' (12.10)
[22:04] <bschaefer> hmm im pretty sure its in 12.10...let me check
[22:05] <bschaefer> jrr, o its under experimental in 12.10
[22:05] <jrr> need I disable 'automatic plugin sorting' to get experimental things?
[22:06] <bschaefer> no, it should be under Unityshell plugin
[22:06] <jrr> I kind of like conflict handling
[22:06] <bschaefer> forgot to mention that
[22:06] <bschaefer> so in CCSM -> UnityShell Plugin -> Experimental -> Dash Blur
[22:06] <jrr> ah! thanks!
[22:07] <jrr> s/UnityShell Plugin/Ubuntu Unity Plugin/
[22:07] <jrr> this seems slightly better
[22:07] <bschaefer> opps
[22:07] <bschaefer> Im using an xml file to figure out where it is :)
[22:07]  * bschaefer is on 13.04
[22:07] <jrr> although now without the blur it's hard to read text on dash
[22:07] <jrr> opacity?
[22:08] <bschaefer> jrr, yes, now look at Background Color
[22:08] <bschaefer> it is set to 0% opacity
[22:08] <bschaefer> which should also be under Experimental
[22:09] <jrr> ah, wunderbar
[22:10] <bschaefer> yay! it should be a lot faster now :)
[22:10] <jrr> now, when I drag windows around, they actually track my cursor
[22:10] <jrr> it was more of a leader-follower relationship before
[22:10] <bschaefer> haha, that is not good!
[22:11] <jrr> It's weird to me to see hardware requirements for a linux desktop.. I guess that's the cost of progress
[22:11] <bschaefer> though 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 well
[22:11] <bschaefer> so it doesn't have to keep redrawing it
