| Patero-ng | why do most people hate unity? | 08:24 |
|---|---|---|
| Patero-ng | many have switched to debian | 08:24 |
| smspillaz | Patero-ng: Personal preference. It happens to be a vocal minority | 08:35 |
| smspillaz | the best thing the developers can do and what they are doing is continuing to make it better. It takes a little while with lots of feedback to get it right | 08:35 |
| Patero-ng | I can't find my advanced settings it doens't look organized seems easy to fix maybe in a later update? | 08:39 |
| tjaalton | guess everyone is on holiday, but I've seen a couple of times an issue with unity, where the launcher icons vanish, and it happens for both logged on users.. | 10:43 |
| tjaalton | though the launcher still works, with an offset | 10:44 |
| tjaalton | this is with quantal | 10:44 |
| tjaalton | unity --replace didn't help | 10:46 |
| tjaalton | wondering if the intel driver is having issues, since it's happening on two separate user accounts | 10:46 |
| smspillaz | tjaalton: if the icon is working but not visible that indeed sounds like a driver bug | 11:25 |
| tjaalton | smspillaz: yeah, and would match with the issues I'm sometimes having when opening new windows; they only have borders and appear transparent | 12:17 |
| smspillaz | tjaalton: that would be something quite different :) | 12:27 |
| smspillaz | tjaalton: do their contents appear once you intereact with them ? | 12:27 |
| smspillaz | *interact | 12:27 |
| tjaalton | smspillaz: no, but closing some window and reopening the new one does | 12:52 |
| tjaalton | or minimizing it | 13:08 |
| smspillaz | tjaalton: resizing it too ? | 13:27 |
| tjaalton | smspillaz: nope.. | 13:28 |
| tjaalton | I've seen such a bug with nvidia a long time ago tho | 13:29 |
| smspillaz | huh, that doesn't sound like a driver problem to me | 13:29 |
| smspillaz | what windows does it happen with ? | 13:29 |
| tjaalton | evince, firefox | 13:29 |
| smspillaz | tjaalton: next time it happens run xwininfo -all and click on the window | 13:29 |
| smspillaz | and then run xwininfo -id (parent window id minus 1 in hex) -all | 13:30 |
| smspillaz | and post the output in a pastebin so I can look at it | 13:30 |
| tjaalton | smspillaz: ok, thanks | 13:30 |
| tjaalton | smspillaz: now I got one of the (fullscreen) firefox windows in a weird state after running unity --replace again (accidentally killed it on a terminal where I had started it) | 13:57 |
| tjaalton | http://pastebin.com/C2thbgi4 | 13:58 |
| tjaalton | can't interact with the window in any way | 13:58 |
| smspillaz | tjaalton: was it minimized before ? | 14:32 |
| smspillaz | (sorry for the answer delay, I'm working on a few other things too) | 14:33 |
| smspillaz | tjaalton: if it was minimized before then this is a known thing really. Since the compiz process is killed, we don't know the old input shape to restore | 14:34 |
| smspillaz | I suppose we could do that trick that a few other compiz plugins do and save the input shape rectangles in a property | 14:34 |
| smspillaz | I really need to rewrite the input shape removal code though, its a bit of a mess | 14:37 |
| smspillaz | I suspect with the under-resourced development process getting that done is going to take months to get through review :( | 14:37 |
| smspillaz | hah, I've got compiz running so fast that I forgot I was running it in valgrind | 14:43 |
| Klap-in | so without valgrind it is blowning you away :) | 15:23 |

| tjaalton | smspillaz: don't think it was, there are a couple of other firefox windows gone apparently due to that feature though. this one was fullscreen, and the content shows a snapshot of the window/desktop below, mouse cursor changes when moving around (recognizes links?) etc | 22:05 |
