darkxstroasted, yup, no going to be possible to get gnome-control-center update into 13.1000:02
roastedI see00:04
roastedkind of a bummer that ubuntu gnome will seemingly be a continual race with PPAs00:04
darkxsthopefully things will improve with 14.1000:06
darkxstbut until then00:06
darkxstyeh00:07
roastedwhat would be different about 14.10?00:07
darkxstMir, which hopefully means Ubuntu will be less dependent on the gnome bits00:07
roastedyou mean, Mir landing in Ubuntu, so Ubuntu will distance from Gnome making Ubuntu GNOME easier to be more independent? Or that Mir is coming to Ubuntu GNOME?00:08
auscompgeekroasted: Mir would hopefully mean Unity would be less dependent on GNOME, making it easier to keep up with GNOME's release cycle00:10
roastedah00:10
roastedso is Ubuntu GNOME going Wayland?00:10
darkxstroasted, eventually yes00:28
bjsnideri could see them creating their own non-gnome qt-based file browser, and so forth00:30
bjsniderthat way they could get rid of systemd00:31
roastedso, question...00:33
roastedif Ubuntu going away from heavy Gnome dependency is key to Ubuntu GNOME being able to stay more in sync with upstream, what's stopping Ubuntu GNOME from doing that now? Can you guys not distance yourselves like Mint/Cinnamon 2.0 did from Gnome?00:33
bjsnidersystemd becomes a big problem with 20500:34
darkxstbjsnider, why?00:56
darkxstroasted, we share packages in the main archive like gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-control-center00:56
roastedis it necessary to 'share' them?00:57
roastedSeeing Cinnamon turn independent just made me wonder how Ubuntu GNOME couldn't be fully independent from Ubuntu's Gnome while retaining the Ubuntu base.00:57
darkxstunless Ubuntu forks them, yes00:57
roastedBut I'm also not a dev, so...00:58
darkxstWell Cinnamon forked gnome at about 3.401:00
roastedso forking it kind of changes the game plan I suppose?01:01
bjsniderdarkxst, something mbiebl mentioned. i'm trying to remember what it was01:02
darkxstwe can't fork, we want upstream01:02
darkxstbjsnider, I heard it currently has a dependency on systemd init, but that is fixable I believe (havent really been following closely however)01:03
bjsnideri don't have the message cached either, which sucks01:04
roasteddarkxst: right, I'm not suggesting to fork. I'm just beginning to make sense of this... forking (like Cinnamon did) gave them the ability to do what they want how they want without the version of Gnome packaged in Ubuntu (and therefore Mint)01:04
darkxstroasted, right and it also means they don't get any of the improvements that have happened since then01:17
roastedtrue01:18

bjsnideri wonder why every time i open a picture it opens scaled down to 99%03:12
Mibrucongrats on 13.10, is ubuntu-gnome rid of all things pertaining to unity?05:28
FrazerXD349I have Ubuntu Gnome with Gnome 3.10. How can I get all those new Gnome apps such Software Center and Maps, for example?08:40
ricotzbjsnider, hi, did you test the empathy package?09:20
ricotzthanks for looking into it, but it doesnt seem to be a good idea to disable all this stuff, and it is pretty broken (aka not working) for me here :\09:23
Gaelos4hi09:51
Gaelos4any issu with ati video card ?09:52
Gaelos4i have a hd667009:52
roastedoh how angry I've become11:18
roastedneed to print out a ticket for a conference I'm going to in approx 40 minutes and gnome says "failed to add printer" each time I try to add it11:18
nadrimajstorI've rolled Lucid trough out the office computers and had similar issue with regular users not being able to add printer... IIRC it was some privilege issue... Adding to that, unlocking changes in "Users and Groups" also didn't work...12:20
nadrimajstorFun times...12:20
nadrimajstorAnd that was a LTS... :D12:20
ricotzmaybe a missing "cups-pk-helper" package12:27
AbsintheSyringethinking of switching from debian sid to 13.10, however one of the first things I see is that "privacy" and "search" is missing from control center12:27
AbsintheSyringewhy is this?12:27
AbsintheSyringeok, adding gnome team ppa adds it12:38
bjsniderricotz, i've been running it for a few days, it doesn't seem broken. what's not working?12:57
bjsniderit won't play well with unity i'm sure. i don't run that so i haven't tested that side of it12:59
ricotzbjsnider, i simply upgraded and checked if my jabber account still works, unfortunately not14:49
bjsniderricotz, which account dialogue did it open? was it the uoa version or the gnome version?14:50
ricotzit is registered in both, the uoa dialog was broken, and goa one lists it too14:51
bjsniderok, i know why the uoa dialog is broken14:51
bjsnideri am preparing a revised debdiff14:51
bjsniderit was built with uoa=yes but the uoa files were not installed anywhere14:51
bjsniderhere i built it with uoa=no14:52
ricotzwhy did you drop the files?14:52
bjsnideruoa=no doesn't build them at all, and i assumed that they didn't exist anymore. i didn't understand the libaccounts-plugin thing14:53
bjsnideri do understand it now14:53
ricotzyou changed the package layout and missed to fix those?14:53
ricotzok14:53
ricotzso test and build it like it is suppose to go into the ppa ;)14:54
bjsniderit's pretty easy to fix though, because those packages are still there as transitionals, so they just get the files back in the new version14:54
bjsnideralso there are a couple of new files to install14:54
ricotzok14:55
bjsniderthe thing is i thought because of the uoa patches not working i culdn't build it with uoa at all, but that's not the case14:55
ricotzuoa is upstreamed14:55
ricotzok, let tim look at and upload it14:57
bjsnidernow i fully understand the differences between the ubuntu and debian packages14:57
bjsnideri think i did pretty well considering i've never dealt with empathy or libaccounts-plugin before14:59
ricotzbjsnider, don't worry, i wanted to make sure you are on it ;)15:02
ricotzbtw, how dare you to think i am running unity! ;)15:02
bjsniderit was the only thing i could think of at the time15:03
bjsniderthat went perfectly15:25
nadrimajstorAs Papa Smurf sed: "... , if the engineering leads on ubuntu want to switch to systemd that will be absolutely fine by me, ..."15:35
nadrimajstorCan we have a Ubuntu with GNOME and systemd? O:-)15:35
bjsniderit's hugely invasive and hardly justified, in case you haven't heard15:38
CountryfiedLinuxhey y'all15:59
CountryfiedLinuxI have an idea for the next Ubuntu Gnome15:59
CountryfiedLinuxI think it should have Docky or Plank dock by default15:59
CountryfiedLinuxFirst impressions are lasting ones, and lack of dock makes it very less "usable"15:59
CountryfiedLinuxThat is unless a user prefers to go into overview every time they wish to launch a favorited app and still not being able to minimize by clicking on the overview icon16:00
CountryfiedLinuxAnd perhaps a menu extension also16:00
CountryfiedLinuxOh yeah, and avconv doesn't work in 13.10 it says it dumps something, don't remember.16:01
bjsnideri think there's an extension to always display the dock, not just in overview16:03

ricotzbjsnider, please merge your changelogs and only mention the actual changes to 3.8.x package17:27
bjsniderdamn changelog17:38
bjsnideri'm just going to have one entry that reads "did some stuff."17:38
ricotzbjsnider, i know i might be annoying17:39
ricotzi really don't like "Removed most extra build flags as configure reported that they are meaningless"17:40
ricotzsince it *is* better to explictly enable things rather than relying on auto-detections in the buildsys17:40
ricotzalso keep the line-length < 80 in the changelog17:41
bjsniderno, the only build flags i removed were the ones that illicit this response: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options:17:45
ricotzbjsnider, http://paste.debian.net/plain/5958517:45
roasteddoes staging or next pull in the ubuntu online accounts?17:45

ricotzbjsnider, why is this needed? ^17:49
bjsniderthere's an extra schema to install17:49
ricotzbetter to add "org.gnome.telepathy-account-widgets.gschema.xml" explictly17:50
ricotzAC_ARG_ENABLE(goa,17:51
ricotz is still there17:51
roastedwhy does evolution-ews not get pulled in as a dependency when you add an exchange account in goa?17:51
roastednice, can't even install evolution-ews17:52
roasted3.8 in repos despite 3.10 installed17:52
bjsniderricotz, yeah it appears to be there, and it's listed in --help but when you run the script it says it's unrecognized, so i'm not sure if it's still working or not17:56
bjsnideri can ask them in their channel17:57
ricotzbjsnider, please just merge and reformat the changelog17:57
ricotzi will take a look17:57
bjsniderok17:58
ricotzand use http://paste.debian.net which doesnt require to login17:58
ricotzbjsnider, did you use my package as base?18:01
bjsnideri used the 3.8.418:01
ricotze.g. 39_default_to_freenode_for_irc.patch should be refreshed not dropped18:02
bjsniderthe file being patched doesn't exist iirc18:03
ricotzthe setting was moved to another file18:03
roastedhey, ricotz. You do work on eOS?18:05

ricotzbjsnider, http://paste.debian.net/plain/59597 ?18:22
ricotzbjsnider, ah what is the reason to remove "libunity-dev" ?18:23
bjsniderno need without the unity patch18:23
bjsniderit can be there but it will do nothing18:24
ricotzthis provides badges and progress indicator for docks18:24

bjsniderright, that doesn't apply18:24
ricotzit applies18:24
ronjHi! I just updated my raring ubuntu-gnome box to saucy + ppa-GNOME3 + ppa-GNOME3-next, went flawlessly :) . I have one single problem: keyboard shortcuts (as defined in the 'Keyboard' config applet) don't work. E.g. I even the default Ctrl+Alt+T bound to 'Terminal' doesn't work. Is this a known issue? Can you help me troubleshoot?18:25
ricotzbjsnider, are you ok with the changelog http://paste.debian.net/plain/59598 ?18:27
ricotzi applied your changes to my previous package update18:27
bjsnideryes but patch 23 applies now right?18:27
bjsniderthat line can go18:27
ricotzhuh?18:28
bjsnider+    - 23_idomessagedialog_for_voip_and_ft.patch,18:29
roastedricotz: mind if I ask you a question regarding that? (if not just ignore it) https://bugs.launchpad.net/plank/+bug/1204856 your comment about r891, I don't know what to do. What is r891 referencing? An update from update manager? Or an update I need to patch in manually?18:29
ricotz... , refreshed18:29
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1204856 in Plank "Auto-hide isn't reliable anymore after latest upgrade" [Low,Fix released]18:29
ricotzroasted, #elementary-dev18:29
bjsniderricotz, oh, i thought the - meant removed18:29
roastedyou got it - thanks.18:30
ricotzbjsnider, no ;)18:30
bjsnideri think this build will fail though18:30
ricotzyes it does18:31
ronj-Update after some research- After upgrading from raring to saucy + gnome3 PPA + gnome3-next PPA, my system-wide keyboard shortcuts work only partially. It seems the ones defined in DConf (org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings) do work (including for example Maximize, Close, etc.), but other ones (e.g. "Launch Terminal" or the whole "Custom" section) do not. Is it a known issue? Can I do something about it?19:21
ronjPrecising: all shortcuts defined in org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings work, and all shortcuts defined in org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys don't do anything19:27
ricotzronj, could you try restarting gnome-shell19:28
ricotzalt+f2 - r19:29
ricotzbjsnider, pushed and built19:30
ronjricotz, just tried restarting gnome-shell, that didn't help19:32
bjsnidercool19:32
ronjI tried re-setting them via the control center, didn't help either. I also noticed that the ones in org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys were defined as for example <Primary><Alt>o and tried switching to <Control><Alt>o, like in org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings, that didn't help either19:35
ricotzronj, hmm, i am occasionally experiencing that the media-keys arent working which seems to be a gnome-shell problem19:35
ronjok, good to know. Can I help? Do you want me to try asking #gnome-shell? Something else that might help narrowing down on the issue?19:36
ronjShould I try ppa-purging gnome3-next and see if it's specific to ubuntugnome shell's 3.10 ?19:37
ricotzronj, would be nice if you could mention that on #gnome-shell19:37
ricotzpurging wont help since this is more a gnome-settings-daemon <> gnome-shell interaction problem19:38
ronjok19:38
ronjWill do and come back here, this evening or tomorrow. Thx!19:38
ricotzi mean "won't help" to fix the real problem19:38
ricotzthanks19:38
bjsniderricotz, does your jabber account work now?19:53
ricotzbjsnider, yes19:55
bjsniderricotz, does empathy-accounts work?20:15
ricotzbjsnider, hmm, it crashes20:25
bjsnidersegfault?20:25
ricotzyes20:25
bjsnideri was able to test it without uoa for the past couple days20:25
ricotzin telepathy-glib20:25
bjsniderworked with no uoa20:25
bjsnideri mean it worked in the sense that it didn't segfault20:26
ricotzweird, i use the g-c-c panels, did it work in 3.8.4?20:27
bjsniderwell, that's what happens when it is run, is it calls up the gss uoa panel20:27
bjsnidergcc i mean20:28
bjsniderbut yeah, you can bypass it by going directly to gcc20:33
bjsnideri'm 99% sure it worked in 3.820:34
ricotzbjsnider, seems like the define of "TPAW_UOA_PROVIDER" gets lost or isnt set properly20:53
bjsniderbetter submit a bug to gnome about it20:54
ricotzcould be related to the autoreconf20:54
bjsniderguess this thing still isn't ready for prime time20:54
