darkxstjbicha, ha finally fixed the crappy gdm -> login transition ;)00:00
darkxstoh yay user sessions break XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP :(00:53
bjsniderwhy does it break it?01:55
bjsniderwhat is it set to? here it's gnome01:55
darkxstbjsnider, its no longer set withingthe environment that gnome-settings-daemon runs02:25
darkxstlightdm was patched, to fix this issue, but obviously not gdm02:26
jbichaI've had issues with $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for a while now in Saucy, some times it wouldn't seem to work right for apps run from a terminal02:31
jbichabut it's working fine here now02:31
jbichaI think it would be a bit better if we sniffed dbus for whether Shell is running instead of using XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP02:32
jbichabecause Flashback is closer to Unity than GNOME Shell in many cases02:32
darkxstjbicha, this is a slightly different issue, gnome-session set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP02:39
darkxstso anything run as a upstart user session, won't have it set02:39
darkxstby all accounts Flashback is going to be messing no matter what we do!02:40
darkxstalthough perhaps it should just set its desktop session as unity02:40
darkxstjbicha, anyway have patched gdm to provide equivalent functionality02:45
jbichayeah we could ping Edubuntu about whether they want to just pretend to be Unity; it might be too late to mess with this cycle02:54
jbichadarkxst: syslinux is still the Ubuntu purple with today's daily here03:02
darkxstjbicha, no way, you must have yesterdays03:03
jbichaI just zsynced, i386 and amd64 both03:05
jbichathe plymouth bootloader is the nice new one, but I still get the purple Ubuntu "press any key for accessibility" symbolic screen when booting the iso03:06
jbichaalso with amd64 I'm getting the unity-greeter-style accessibility and network menus in ubiquity-standalone instead of the gnome-shell mode that I get with the i386 image03:13
darkxstjbicha, really sounds like you have an old image03:14
darkxstsyslinux is now great03:14
darkxstgrey03:14
jbichaoops, wrong directory03:16
jbichaI zsynced from my ubuntu directory not the ubuntu-gnome one03:17
darkxstlol, that would do it ;)03:25

ubot5bug 1212408 in gdm (Ubuntu) "lightdm/gdm needs to set $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/121240803:25
darkxstpatches are in there, although I guess where blocked by the freeze right now03:26
jbichagdm's easy to get pushed through since no one else uses it03:27
jbichaand XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP not working is a fairly important bug03:28
jbichayou said you figured out a way to suppress the default wallpaper popping up during boot?03:29
jbichano, maybe you just meant the zoom-in effect on login?03:30
jbichathe zoom effect is annoying because my computer is working too hard loading everything on login that the zoom effect loses too many frames to look cool03:31
darkxstjbicha, g-s-d was loading the background plugin03:35
darkxstI have disabled it03:35
darkxst(nothing to do with the zoom effect)03:35
jbichawhat does that fix? and we still need the background plugin, right?03:35
darkxstjbicha, backgrounds are done in mutter03:42
darkxstthe default background that was display before and after gdm was coming from g-s-d03:42
darkxstjbicha, so essentially we were running 2 different background plugins!03:49

checoimgHi16:59
checoimgI'm having trouble with Hibernation. The session saves fine but the networking applet says "Unmanaged" and can't get the command to make it get managed again. should I file a bug and where to ?17:00
jbichachecoimg: you might be able to workaround that resume bug by running sudo pkill NetworkManager17:01
jbichayou can report the bug by running ubuntu-bug linux17:02
checoimgand then Alt+F2 : NetworkManager ?17:02
jbichaif that command works right, it should automatically restart NM17:03
checoimgOk17:03
checoimgI'll try now17:03
checoimgThe bug appears to happen with hybrid hibernate because when hibernation is done the suspend session doesn't have anything on networking but that's just a guess17:13
checoimglet me try hybrid hibernation since I tried pm-hibernate17:13
checoimgback in 10 minutes17:13
checoimgjbicha : Thanks17:27
theenduseris there a keyboard shortcut for the notification bar (or w/e it's called)?19:33
bjsnidertheenduser, super+m19:50
theenduserthnx again bjsnider :)19:53
theendusersaucy's rock solid atm19:53
theendusersome glitches w/ tweak-tool but that's it19:53
darkxstjbicha, seem input switching is just broken under Unity even without g-s-d 3.8?21:38
