[00:16] darkxst $ sudo adduser --system --group --home /var/lib/deluge deluge means the user deluge will be a member of system, group, and home groups? [00:19] anonee, not exactly, it will create a user and group deluge:deluge with system uid/gid's (i.e. < 1000) [00:20] however normally system users would not be added to a group [00:22] darkxst I followed this tutorial, for the second time, because i like deluge's performance, when the torrent is almost dead, it seems to work like "hoover", and I need it to run before I login, so I followed this tutorial http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/InitScript/Ubuntu%2011.04%2B%20%28Upstart%20Job%29 [00:22] also not sure why you are messing with those things..... the deluge packing would take care of it [00:24] this is the second installation, I've resolved this problem before, but that was with the help of someone, [00:24] which things? [00:24] creating users etc [00:25] please have a look at the page if you have 1 min, it's because I need it to run before i login [00:28] probably all you need to do is edit /etc/default/deluged [00:47] darkxst the file doesn't exist, do you think it's a good idea to create it? [01:00] no ubuntu forum to post, so here goes .. yesterdays gnome 3 ppa update of gdm now means that gdm does not start at boot. Funny thing is, neither does lightdm. Both start fine at command line after boot. any ideas? [01:01] this is only in my Virtualbox guest installs of Ubuntu 13.04 [01:04] the forums are still not back up? [05:13] darkxst are you still awake? [10:18] darkxst: I get this https://github.com/paradoxxxzero/gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet/issues/117 quite a lot [10:48] ricotz, hey! [10:48] darkxst, hi [10:49] darkxst: did you see my message? [10:50] will you do the cogl/clutter updates for 3.9.5? [10:50] matanya, yes [10:50] need any other info I guess [10:50] matanya, I can't fix arch bugs [10:51] it is an arch bug? [10:51] I thought it is a gnome issue. [10:51] matanya, what distro you on? [10:51] arch [10:52] ok, glad to sort that out. thanks, i'll report on the arch tracker [10:52] it is a bug in libgtop, that I have only seen reported by arch users [10:57] darkxst, i guess this was meant for me, so yeah, i can look at cogl/clutter, no releases though yet, but i will try to update the snapshots [10:57] darkxst, it will *require* a whole stack rebuild of cogl rdepends, therefore it is better to wait for a release where the soname is bumped as needed [11:03] ricotz, I meant with the upcoming release, but right I had no idea how many cogl redepends there are [11:04] darkxst, bpeel is working on a cogl release for today [11:04] so i will try to pick that up tonight [13:14] Hi. Approximately 3 days ago, my top-right corner User menu stopped showing the 'Suspend' item when I press ALT. I disabled all my extensions and confirm I am no longer able to suspend from this menu. Any idea why? Could that be a regression? Or maybe it's deactivated because Shell actually detects my hardware doesn't support suspend, and in this case what might be the culprit? This is a Dell XPS 1645 laptop, which has been functioning OK with Ubuntu and [13:14] GNOME 2/3 for years, and I am using Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 x86_64. Thanks for your help! [13:18] I precise I'm using the (stable, non-staging) PPA, which brings me to Shell 3.8.3 [15:28] darkxst: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/commit/d4d268e [15:54] jbicha, hi :), imo we shouldnt care about this thing [15:55] darkxst, pushed cogl 1.15.4 and clutter snapshot to ricotz/unstable if you want to build things against it [15:55] (the changelogs are not done though) [15:55] ricotz: yeah, Cinnamon is not my responsibility either except that we had to make sure cinnamon would build against the bumped-soname gjs [15:56] jbicha, i see, this just keeps packagers busy for no reason :\ [15:56] which? cinnamon or the soname bump? [15:56] jbicha, cinnamon! ;) [15:57] blame Debian for uploading it and abandoning it [15:57] jbicha, there is kind of a promise that cogl won't bump again this cycle [15:57] jbicha, why was it synced? :\ [15:58] jbicha, it can be removed easily for sure [15:58] Ubuntu release team aren't really willing to block it at this time (they're not even willing to block MATE) [15:59] jbicha, leaving it alone/broken is the way then [15:59] Cinnamon really needs at least one developer to care a bit about it [16:00] if it's still broken near release time it might be removed (but someone might just fix it at that point too) [16:01] i see [16:01] all those wild forks are pita [16:02] it's a crowded field, why would an Ubuntu developer run Cinnamon when he can run Unity, GNOME Shell, XFCE, etc.? [16:02] if he's a strong Cinnamon fan, he might just as well be a Debian or Mint developer instead [16:03] exactly, this is a mint linux things like unity is for ubuntu [16:03] and fighting with it in ubuntu and draw resources to it is not a good idea [16:05] jbicha, btw the mentioned cogl/clutter build are fully wayland enabled and should suffice as dep for the wayland-based mutter/gnome-shell branches [16:07] ricotz: so the idea is that it would make our life easier (for maintaining the gnome3 ppa) if the soname-bumped cogl would be in Saucy? [16:07] jbicha, exactly ;) [16:08] and given the promise of no further soname bump it should be done with 1.15.4 [16:09] jbicha, to have the wayland support there is need to get wayland/weston 1.2 in first [16:10] I like the week after GNOME *.90 (and Freeze) and before Ubuntu Feature Freeze [16:11] jbicha, that is fine as long it gets accepted [16:12] doing the transition in the ppa isnt too much trouble [16:12] Hi (repeating a message from 3h ago, not spamming, I'd like the opinion of jbicha & ricotz who are here now). Approximately 3 days ago, my top-right corner User menu stopped showing the 'Suspend' item when I press ALT. I disabled all my extensions and confirm I am no longer able to suspend from this menu. Any idea why? Could that be a regression? Or maybe it's deactivated because Shell actually detects my hardware doesn't support suspend, and in this cas [16:12] e what might be the culprit and how can I fix it? This is a Dell XPS 1645 laptop, which has been suspending OK with Ubuntu and GNOME 2/3 for years, and I am currently using Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 x86_64 + PPA, i.e. GNOME Shell 3.8.3. Thanks for your help! [16:14] The shell detects what capabilities the system configuration has [16:14] perhaps you updated something? [16:14] darkxst, hmm! [16:15] darkxst, you uploaded a systemd enabled gnome-shell to the main ppa? [16:15] darkxst, https://launchpadlibrarian.net/145965651/gnome-shell_3.8.3-1ubuntu2~raring1_3.8.3-1ubuntu5~raring1.diff.gz [16:17] ronj, sorry, the problem is the gnome-shell package which shouldn't be in that ppa [16:19] ricotz, wow that was fast! well no problem, glad I was of help pinpointing the issue, be sure I'll be back whining in a few days if the problem persists :) [16:19] ronj, ok ;) [16:29] ha, good catch [16:29] way to be awesome guys [16:47] darkxst, ronj, pushed g-s updates [16:51] cool, I guess it's building, dist-upgrade currently returns "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." I'll try it as soon as it's available. [16:52] thx guys I'm leaving, have a good day/night [18:21] darkxst jbicha ricotz : got the gnome-shell update and I confirm Suspend is back, wheeeeeeeee. Thx! [18:47] ronj_, nice job bringing up the issue quickly [18:56] ricotz: darkxst: I think I'm going to upload gdm 3.9.5 to saucy https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/tree/NEWS [18:58] jbicha, no concerns about the removed fallback greeter? [18:59] ricotz: no, http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/07/28/%23ubuntu-gnome.html#t21:55 [19:01] it's not been enabled in Saucy for a while anyway [19:03] jbicha, ok, you are aware of some lucky (gir) api breaks in regards of gnome-shell which will stay on 3.8 [19:03] i am not saying it is broken already, just saying it is possible [19:04] if all dependencies are served and it is compatible it seems fine to do [19:06] yeah I think gdm itself doesn't really do bleeding edge dependencies on things like gtk or g-s-d so far [19:06] what do you mean about gir? [19:13] jbicha, i mean gnome-shell uses the "introspected" libgdm which could break api like other things e.g gnome-desktop/gnome-bluetooth [19:16] you mean an upgrade to gdm could break gnome-shell? [19:17] my instinct is that the risk of that is minimal and it's easier to take the new version than backport the bugfixes here [19:17] yes, i am just saying they tend to break things as usual [19:17] e.g. gnome-shell 3.9 doesnt work with gnome-bluetooth 3.8 (without patching it) [19:17] :( I'm just hoping they're more distracted by working on other things this cycle ;) [19:18] the login screen doesn't have to be rewritten every cycle... [19:18] the revamped usermenu seems not have effected gdm, but things like that could though [19:19] afaik there were some talks about changing the login-screen too [19:19] which could rely on gdm changes [19:19] just speculations from my side currently [19:19] I hear you [19:20] jbicha, so updating to 3.8.3.1 seems better [19:20] if you arent targetting fixes in 3.9.5 [19:20] but I think it's ok to take gdm 3.9.5 with no guarantees that we'll take any future 3.9 or 3.10 upgrades and we'll still be better off than 3.8.* which may not be updated any more [19:21] although I see that halfline just pushed gdm 3.8.4 so maybe I'll do that instead [19:21] i mean 3.8.4 ;) [19:21] https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/log/?h=gnome-3-8 [19:22] yes, do that [19:22] ok [19:25] hi [19:25] hello everyone [19:25] i got a question cause i have a problem with gnome-shell desktop settings [19:26] Ubuntu 13.04 can't remember the settings and every reboot i don't see what i want - desktop with files, mounted drives etc [19:26] anyone got a sollution, please? [19:33] dconf sounds broken maybe [19:33] i reset settings and still the same [19:35] should i reset dconf? [19:49] ricotz: gdm 3.8.3.1 or 3.8.4 doesn't want to compile, silly fallback mode [20:03] jbicha, fails how? [20:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5930321/ [20:20] jbicha, you are sure libgdmsimplegreeter.so.1 gets installed [22:04] jbicha, I suspect gdm 3.9 would be find in saucy but probably best to wait for .90 [22:06] darkxst: it's funny, GNOME *is* rewriting the login screen again according to gnome-shell's NEWS [22:06] but so far they haven't needed to mess with gdm [22:08] yeh, thats all abstracted away in the js code
