Andy80hi guys09:02
Andy80do you know how to remove the keyboard layout indicator from the GNOME top-right bar? Thanks09:02
u-k-i-tThe 'en1' symbol?09:10
u-k-i-tIf it is that symbol that you want rid of. Click on it and click on it's settings. Go to the 'Input Sources' tab and remove the layout you don't want. I get it with 13.10 and have to remove a US one.09:13
Andy80u-k-i-t, yeah it09:14
Andy80let me try...09:14
Andy80yep :)09:15
u-k-i-tSorted :-)09:15
Andy80thanks!09:15
* u-k-i-t goes back to trying to reproduce a bug. Back later.09:16

ewethi, does the gnome activities thing honor mimeapps.list? because if I open an opden document template in nautilus it's starting LibreOffice but if I open it in the activities (search) it opens up in "Documents"14:49
Andy80what do I have to install/enable to have file/documents search in GNOME (is it the same textbox that I use to launch and application?)16:02

gonyerejbicha ping17:06
jbichagonyere: hi17:10
gonyerehey there17:12
gonyereso, i'm trying to burn the ubuntu gnome 13.10 beta to a usb stick and it seems to go ok17:12
gonyerebut when i go to boot off if it i get 'isolinux.bin missing or corrupted'17:12
gonyerei've now downloaded twice... any ideas</17:13
jbichahow are you getting the image to the usb stick?17:13
gonyerecommand line - dd if="" of""17:14
jbichaI don't know then, usb booting doesn't work in too many cases :(17:19
neosergiogonyere, what application are you using to burn the image into usb stick?17:44
gonyerei tried with the command line and with opensuse's  software image studio17:46
gonyereoh and with netbootin17:47
gonyerei finally broke down an used a dvd and it worked, i just don't get why all of a sudden usb sticks won't...17:48
neosergioThat's probably because of image studio or netbootin17:48
gonyereyeah but it gave the same error with dd if="/home/emily/downloads/file.iso" of=/dev/sdb117:49
gonyerejust wierd17:49
neosergioyep that's weird17:50
neosergiobut probably related to this knowed issues https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick17:50
neosergio*known17:51
gonyereinteresting... the wierdest thing of all is that i've used these usb sticks to do this before... and now all of a sudden its a no-go17:53
snwhjbicha, you were right, I got used to the waterdrop after all ;)17:57
ikbenbenhi everyone.19:27
ikbenbenthe other day i discovered, thanks to bjsnider, that i was running the ricotz ppa version of gnome3 and it was causing me issues. I ended up running ppa-purge to get rid of that ppa and packages were downgraded19:31
ikbenbenhowever i think i still have some ricotz packages installed19:31
ikbenbenif i run "dpkg -l | grep ricotz | wc -l" i get 21 packages19:32
ikbenbenthey are related to wayland and pango19:32
ikbenbenfor the most part19:32
bjsnidersounds like maybe xorg-edgers19:32
ikbenbenwhat is the best way to clean these up19:32
bjsniderdid you have xorg-edgers ppa at some point?19:32
ikbenbendon't recall ..looking at history now19:33
ikbenbendoesn't look like it19:34
ikbenbenbut i still see ricotz-testing-raring.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d19:34
bjsniderhe's got pango and wayland19:35
ikbenbenthe file is empty though..no ppa repositories defined in it19:36
bjsniderwhat happens if you try to purge them?19:36
ikbenbenthrough apt-get?19:36
ikbenbenis wayland being used on the gnome3 ppa?19:37
ikbenbenor is it still using xorg19:37
bjsniderxorg19:37
ikbenbenif i try to run "sudo apt-get purge libwayland-client0" it wants to remove 315 packages..some of which i'm pretty sure i don't want removed19:39
bjsniderguess you'll have to add the ppa again and ppa-purge it again19:43
ikbenbenthe ricotz one?19:43
bjsnideryes19:46
ikbenbenwill give it a go...i do see it is trying to download wayland but an error is happening19:48
ikbenbentrying to see if i can sort it19:48
ikbenbenits trying to downgrade to libwayland0_1.0.5-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb but i'm guessing that does not exist19:50
ikbenbenso it fails19:50
bjsniderwhat's the error?19:51

bjsniderok, use pastebin please19:52
bjsniderdon't spam that stuff in the channel19:52
ikbenbenusually i don't go for support...pastebin.com?19:52
bjsniderthat's one19:53
ikbenbenhttp://pastebin.com/MKDuxZxi19:53
bjsniderthe packaging is different between the old wayland and the new one19:55
bjsnideris it possible to remove libwayland-cursor0?19:56
bjsniderprobably not19:56
bjsnidertry just removing everything with wayland in the name19:56
ikbenbennope...314 packages to be removed19:56
ikbenbenunity packages, libmesa, nautilus, rhythmbox, gnome packages...19:57
ikbenbendon't think i want to do that19:57
bjsnidercursor0 can't be removed either?19:58
ikbenbennope..314 packages depending on it19:58
bjsniderwell, this might not be too bad19:58
bjsnideryou can put them back immediately19:58
bjsniderso if you purge the ppa and then reinstall ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-gnome-desktop you'll probably be ok19:59
bjsniderdepending on which 314 packages19:59
ikbenbennot sure i want to risk that on my prod machine..maybe later when not so busy :)19:59
ikbenbenhowever, thinking about this...if wayland is not being used then i'm not sure it matters that it is still installed...pango is the same i think..it is used by wayland?20:00
ikbenbenif the packages aren't being used the there isn't any harm leaving htem20:00
ikbenbenthem20:00
ikbenbenthoughts?20:01
bjsniderthe ppa carries a bunch of warnings about breakage and needing to be an expert and so forth20:01
ikbenbenwell. i think i'm pretty good to be honest. i've been rocking linux for 20+ years. used to do gentoo a lot. usually i search through forums to get my answers but gnome was pointing me to this irc so thought i would give it a try20:02
ikbenbenthe ricotz ppa has been purged20:02
ikbenbenso it is not being used in upgrades anymore20:02
ikbenbenthere are just a few stray packages20:03
ikbenbenbut i don't think the system is using them20:03
ikbenbenso i can leave them for now20:03
bjsnideri dunno, which packages other than pango and wayland?20:03
ikbenbenlibmutter which looks to be a window manager20:04
bjsniderwhich version of libmutter?20:04
ikbenbengir ; libgjs ; libmozjs20:04
ikbenben3.9.91+git20130904.f96dc97c-0ubuntu1~13.04~ricotz020:05
bjsnideri'm glad that's not my production machine20:05
ikbenbenthanks :)20:06
ikbenbenlol20:06
bjsnideryou've got a mixture of 3.6, 3.8, and 3.10pre20:06
bjsnideri'm amazed it's running20:06
ikbenbenwell i have been using unity the past 2 days while at work20:06
ikbenbenthought i would look at the gnome tonight again20:07
ikbenbenbut it seems to be running fine20:07
ikbenbeni'll leave it for now...see how it goes20:07
ikbenbenthank you for your help20:08
ikbenbenis there a way of recognizing your effort?20:08
u-k-i-tHi all sorry I missed this one from earlier - was asleep. :-) For gonyere if he returns and all. I always boot from usb and unlike what was said it should work all the time / every time. For instructions on how to burn to usb see: https://googledrive.com/host/0BxxMpTV-rQ8DcjdGWEJpUmsyc28/ukit-tut-0000001.pdf There is a bug that hits some including me at present on 13.10 iso images which fails boot on some hardwa20:12

u-k-i-tHi jbicha. I am sorry about the bug you mentioned yesterday (back read). Just can'r reproduce.22:15
u-k-i-ts/can'r/can't22:16
u-k-i-tHmm... Can we get rid of xterm and xdiagnose out of the default install?22:20
darkxstu-k-i-t, I don't have access!22:21
u-k-i-tdarkxst: No worries. Already sorted.22:21
jbichawe do hide xterm by default22:23
u-k-i-tjbicha: Here is the issue. I decide what I or others want. Hiding is not good and adds to the install image. Lets drop the thing and have done with it?22:24
jbichaI believe it's necessary for minimal functionality if X fails to start22:27
jbichasince we hide xterm it doesn't hurt any one22:28
u-k-i-tjbicha: Tell me xterm's advantages for x fails over a basic terminal or other?22:30
jbichawell you can't run gnome-terminal in that situation22:31
u-k-i-tThat is what busybox and drop backs are for.22:32
u-k-i-tThe whole xterm thing is an ubuntu maybe and not needed.22:33
jbichabut what does it hurt to have term installed?22:34
u-k-i-tjbicha: It hurts because it is not needed and people don't want it. My main dev box is 6 core AMD with 12 Gb RAM and a primary hdd of a sata 3 of 64Gb with a secondary 500 Gb hdd. I look a size all the time on purpose for my customers. I don't mind things installed if useful to me and them but hate what's not.22:38
u-k-i-tjbicha: I am of an age that used systems that were smaller and were limited and don't like bloat. ;-)22:40
jbichawell in that case you'll be happy to see that UG 13.10 is 80MB smaller than 13.04 was22:41
jbichahttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/13.04/release/22:41
jbichahttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/daily-live/current/22:41
u-k-i-tjbicha: I know. I install the daily images and love the way ubuntu-gnome is going.22:42
u-k-i-tjbicha: I sync my images daily with zsync at 1800 hours via cron. ;-)22:43
jbichabut xterm is like 1 MB22:44
u-k-i-tjbicha: And? I still don't want it. Maybe me alone on this one but I have not used it in years so should not be default installed. I can pull it in if needed.22:45
u-k-i-tThis is a canonical thing of deciding what I want. They install stuff we don't need. Kubuntu is stripping this kind of stuff.22:47
darkxstu-k-i-t, gnome-terminal won't run if dbus session is missing22:49
jbichaUbuntu has always been about having decisive defaults22:49
u-k-i-tOne thing to look at that is annoying me. bug 122319922:49
ubot5bug 1223199 in mesa (Ubuntu) "libegl1-mesa-dev should not depend on libmirclient-dev" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/122319922:49
jbichathese days you can now uninstall xterm; it's not a hard dependency22:50
u-k-i-tdarkxst: Not a clue what your on about.22:50
u-k-i-tjbicha: I know that I purge it first run after install.22:50
jbichaok, but you're asking that we break something because you want to skip doing one thing post-install22:51
u-k-i-tjbicha: No. I am asking for a drop to make the install smaller and allow people to install if needed only.22:52
jbicharemoving xterm definitely does not make the install smoother and people that need xterm do not know that it exists22:53
u-k-i-tI said smaller not smoother. Those who do not know it exists would never use then if hidden as you said. So why bother as those who know will easlily do the apt-get ibstall of it?22:54
u-k-i-ts/ibstall/install22:55
jbichaxterm is part of a fallback feature so that the computer is still minimally usable even when X doesn't start22:55
jbichausers don't need to worry about the technical details of how that feature works22:55
u-k-i-tWho told you that. Because that is rubbish.22:57
u-k-i-tJust going to push some rhythmbox fixes. bbl.23:09
bjsniderxterm is what is seen during fallback? didn't know that23:32
u-k-i-tbjsnider: No it's not. On X death you drop back but not to xterm. I can prove that on an old box I have a system that dies with graphics driver issues.23:36
bjsniderwhat is it then?23:37
bjsniderit's some kind of terminal23:37
u-k-i-tIt's an old intel in built. I have a bug against it. I may boot it later.23:37
bjsniderno, i mean what is it falling back to if not xterm?23:38
u-k-i-tbjsnider: I always drops back to bash / initramfs busybox.23:38
bjsniderusing a distro since they introduced fallback?23:39
u-k-i-tI run redhat 9 still with own patches. ;-) I also run ubuntu / kubuntu / ubuntu gnome stables and devs. ;-)23:41
u-k-i-tbjsnider: I swap out the redhat system this month to an ubuntu server. Customers can be tight and wait. :-D23:43
u-k-i-tShould I mention how many versions of debian I run or is the list enough?23:49
bjsniderit's not what i was asking23:52
bjsniderbut you can keep going if you want23:52
bjsnideri think graphical fallback mode was introduced with karmic iirc23:54
bjsniderso as long as you're using a newer ubuntu than that you can check if xterm is used for it23:54
u-k-i-tbjsnider: I ask for essentially a situation of failure that would throw back an execute xterm and I could pid verify that. Bet you you lot can't?23:59
