| Ponch0 | hey guys so I installed 13.04 gnome remix, I added a ppa for the new gnome web browser - did sudo update & and upgrade - and gdm wouldn't start being a noob that I am, I had to reinstall - in that case what are my options? I was able to get into the terminal with f1 | 00:24 |
|---|---|---|
| Ponch0 | gdm wouldn't start after restart that is. | 00:25 |
| Ponch0 | i had the mouse cursor | 00:25 |
| darkxst | Ponch0, did you use 'dist-upgrade'? | 00:26 |
| Ponch0 | Also - one more question - what is a staging PPA I can add that will keep me up to date with gnome 3 staging | 00:27 |
| Ponch0 | nope just 'upgrade' | 00:27 |
| darkxst | Ponch0, you must do 'dist-upgrade'! | 00:27 |
| Ponch0 | that will keep me up to date with gnome 3 updates without adding that unity gunk. | 00:27 |
| darkxst | staging ppa is for things that still have regressions and/or known issues | 00:27 |
| Ponch0 | oh than the 'stable' ppa? | 00:27 |
| Ponch0 | oops on the upgrade - good to know for future reference I probably installed lightdm and there was some type of conflict. | 00:28 |
| darkxst | Ponch0, just run it now, it should fix things | 00:28 |
| Ponch0 | I already reinstalled the system I have to set everything up again hehe. | 00:28 |
| darkxst | oh | 00:29 |
| Ponch0 | I couldn't get on the computer to look up what I could do - it was my only option. | 00:29 |
| Ponch0 | I couldn't get to the part where it asked me for login. | 00:29 |
| Ponch0 | so is there a PPA I could add that will add the stable gnome apps - it seems pretty bare which I guess isn't a bad thing. | 00:31 |
| Ponch0 | and stable updates? or is that already covered? | 00:31 |
| darkxst | Ponch0, gnome3 PPA is stable | 00:31 |
| Ponch0 | and if I add that - it won't mess up my install with some unity gunk right? | 00:31 |
| darkxst | Ponch0, why would we have unity gunk in a gnome3 ppa? | 00:32 |
| Ponch0 | lol because somehow I just ended up without being able to log in by just adding the gnome web browser ppa | 00:33 |
| Ponch0 | but now I know that wasn't the reason. | 00:33 |
| Ponch0 | darkxst: anyway thank you for answering my seemingly silly questions. | 00:35 |
| darkxst | np | 00:36 |
| Ponch0 | so a quick recap - I should never do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" but rather "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"?? | 00:39 |
| darkxst | jbicha, ok to copy updated g-c-c to staging? | 01:01 |
| jbicha | darkxst: I didn't test it, but I trust your judgment | 01:06 |
| jbicha | you have to have a hard-coded list of possible external panels? | 01:06 |
| darkxst | that is only for the launchers | 01:07 |
| jbicha | and things work fine if those external panels aren't installed? | 01:07 |
| darkxst | actual .so panels get loaded dynamically. | 01:07 |
| darkxst | jbicha, sure, it will just ignore any entry it can't find the desktop file for | 01:08 |
| darkxst | the only other alternative was to bring back the gmenu code, and scan all desktop files. | 01:12 |
| darkxst | and that is overly complicated and messy code. | 01:13 |
| jbicha | it might be better; that way we can tell apps that only provide external launchers to ship a separate .desktop with NotShowIn=Unity; and the settings panel with NotShowIn=GNOME; | 01:14 |
| jbicha | gufw (gui-ufw) is another one | 01:14 |
| jbicha | myunity was one but that only lasted a few months | 01:15 |
| darkxst | yeh I got gufw in the patch already | 01:21 |
| jbicha | oh it doesn't need to be renamed to match the new naming convention? | 01:22 |
| darkxst | no, launchers dont need to have a specific name format, since they are just read from the list. | 01:26 |
| jbicha | ok | 01:31 |
| jbicha | darkxst: there's an interesting patch at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692253 I don't think I'll be able to look into it at the moment | 01:36 |
| ubot5 | Gnome bug 692253 in User Accounts "user-accounts: empty login history window" [Normal,Unconfirmed] | 01:36 |
| jbicha | darkxst: you're not on saucy yet are you? | 01:56 |
| darkxst | yeh | 01:56 |
| jbicha | I might have broken gnome-shell 3.6 by uploading gjs today | 01:57 |
| darkxst | gjs 1.36? | 01:58 |
| jbicha | yes | 01:58 |
| darkxst | 3.6 works fine with that, however there was one redundant line in the JS that needed to be removed | 01:58 |
| darkxst | not sure if that was fixed upstream | 01:58 |
| darkxst | jbicha, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5621204/ | 02:02 |
| jbicha | darkxst: do you want to make a debdiff for that? | 02:04 |
| darkxst | sure | 02:04 |
| darkxst | jbicha, http://pastebin.com/rutneiZR | 02:10 |
| jbicha | cool, gnome-control-center works | 02:15 |
| jbicha | darkxst: thanks, good night | 02:21 |
| darkxst | np, good night | 02:22 |

| FrozenFire | Is it possible to disable notifications of Empathy contacts coming online/going offline? | 16:21 |
| FrozenFire | That's my biggest beef with Empathy and the notification system on gnome-shell, because the notification area blocks the most important part of my screen. | 16:22 |
