| c_smith | so, for discussion on Ubuntu GNOME 13.10, should I just use #ubuntu+1 ? | 03:25 |
|---|---|---|
| bjsnider | no, development is focused on saucy in here, so this channel is fine | 04:26 |
| c_smith | bjsnider, cool | 04:31 |
| c_smith | didn't know about Ubuntu GNOME until 13.04 was released, and man, gotta say, Gnome 3.8 is pretty cool | 04:32 |
| c_smith | strangely enough, I haven't run into a bug yet in 6 hours of using the machine as I usually would. XD well, aside from the issue that fglrx 13.8 needs extra patches to work properly with the 3.11 kernel. | 04:33 |
| c_smith | the fglrx issue is fixed with a set of patched packages from xorg edgers (whose ppa I borked my system with many times in the past. XD) | 04:33 |
| bjsnider | doesn't radeon work better than fglrx? | 04:35 |
| bjsnider | unfortunately this is not the best hardware to have on linux | 04:36 |
| c_smith | bjsnider, not for my Radeon HD 6670, there's a noticeable performance hit. | 04:37 |
| c_smith | it isn't. but I don't have the money currently to buy a new GPU. | 04:38 |
| bjsnider | if your board has an onboard intel chip it might be better | 04:39 |
| c_smith | bjsnider, I wasn't that lucky with this PC, onboard Radeon 3000 | 05:18 |
| c_smith | my laptop, though, has a muxless Intel/Radeon pair, | 05:18 |
| c_smith | decent laptop, might I add. | 05:18 |
| darkxst | jbicha, hi | 22:58 |
| darkxst | can you upload the g-c-c update for seperate backgrounds? | 22:59 |
| jbicha | darkxst: I stumbled across a bug with that feature | 23:06 |
| darkxst | jbicha, what is the bug? | 23:06 |
| jbicha | if you change the lockscreen backend and immediately lock the screen, it's possible for the lockscreen to be white instead of the picture it's supposed to be | 23:06 |
| jbicha | it felt a little harder to trigger that bug with g-s-d 3.8 so I was thinking about holding off on the g-c-c update until we get approval for g-s-d | 23:07 |
| jbicha | if someone hits that bug, things clear up after logging out and logging back in; it's just a temporary glitch | 23:08 |
| darkxst | jbicha, backgrounds are not done by g-s-d anymore, however g-s-d from the archives is still loading the background plugin | 23:11 |
| darkxst | that said it shouldnt know anything about the screenshield backgrounds | 23:11 |
| c_smith | only bug I've found that I haven't reported is one that's been present for some time (currently affects 12.04, 13.04 and 13.10), and the bug is that Empathy doesn't connect to FB, is this a known issue that has a fix? or should I go ahead and report it? | 23:13 |
| c_smith | this bug even affects Arch, so my guess is either that it's a GNOME bug, or FB changed something again. | 23:14 |
| jbicha | ok, maybe g-s-d has nothing to do with it | 23:14 |
| jbicha | c_smith: if you don't know whether a possible bug has been reported or not, you can search for whether it's been reported | 23:15 |
| jbicha | if you don't find anything, go ahead and report it; if it's a duplicate bug triagers will mark the bug and you'll be able to follow the original bug easily | 23:16 |
| jbicha | by default, if a bug is marked duplicate you'll be subscribed to the original bug | 23:16 |
| c_smith | jbicha, main thing I'm not sure of is whether to report it upstream, or locally | 23:16 |
| jbicha | both would be great :) | 23:17 |
| c_smith | cool | 23:17 |
| c_smith | reason I was confused is because this also affects a relatively unpatched distro (Arch) | 23:18 |
| jbicha | well that's a clear sign that it's a gnome bug then but it might only be fixed in the 3.10 series; for saucy and previous we'd probably need to backport the fix so having a launchpad bug would help us see that | 23:19 |
| c_smith | hmmmmm..... on the Launchpad part, I just realized I've no freaking clue where to report it to. XD | 23:19 |
| jbicha | ubuntu-bug gnome-online-accounts | 23:19 |
| c_smith | kk | 23:19 |
| c_smith | keep forgetting about that program. XD | 23:19 |
| c_smith | I get so used to making my bug reports pretty much from scratch. | 23:20 |
| darkxst | c_smith, always use ubuntu-bug, it collects important information from your system! | 23:21 |
| c_smith | will remember to. | 23:21 |
| c_smith | I made a bug on with Ubuntu-bug and put essentially a lightly modified bug on the Gnome bug-tracker. | 23:48 |
| c_smith | now to hope that this isn't something that the devs at FB did. | 23:48 |
| c_smith | I noticed recently Pidgin doesn't connect properly either, so I'm getting the feeling it's something on the FB end. | 23:49 |
