| auscompgeek | oh yeah, I was going to mention this a while back, but forgot | 06:29 |

| auscompgeek | wubi doesn't have Ubuntu GNOME in its list of Ubuntu flavours, but it does install after adding it in | 06:30 |
| x-Na_ | Hello, is there anyone awake? | 09:32 |
| === x-Na_ is now known as x-Na | ||
| x-Na | I finally got around investigating my problem with gnome-shell crashing when changing users, as this is a multiuser computer. | 09:33 |
| x-Na | And it seems that whenever I change from LightDM to GDM, it causes the gnome-shell of the first logged in user to crash | 09:33 |
| x-Na | ...when user is switched | 09:34 |
| x-Na | This does not happen when running same setup in Virtualbox, though | 09:34 |
| x-Na | So first thought I get is that it is a combination of GDM and NVidia drivers, probably | 09:34 |
| x-Na | I haven't found any relative bugs from launchpad, though. The problem is that it is REALLY hard to find any help with a multiuser setup, seems almost that it is not very common for people to run multiuser setups | 09:36 |
| x-Na | But anyways, I want to file a bug about this, but I'd appreciate any help so that I get all the necessary information along so that it won't get just closed as invalid etc | 09:37 |

| cxexa | Hi all. Are the instructions here the best way to go about checking out 3.10 on a fresh Ubuntu Gnome install? http://www.webupd8.org/2013/09/how-to-install-gnome-310-in-ubuntu-1310.html | 16:55 |
| cxexa | short version: still need to add next and staging PPAs? | 16:55 |
| roasted | I'd be so happy to help answer if people would stick around long enough :( | 17:39 |
| teemperor | roasted: it's hard | 17:58 |
| teemperor | :) | 17:58 |
| MaverickPT | hi | 18:18 |
| x-Na | roasted, well I've been here all day after I explained my situation :D | 18:22 |
| teemperor | hi MaverickPT | 18:27 |
| teemperor | x-Na: and it got solved? :) | 18:27 |
| MaverickPT | was just wondering how long each release is supported until but I found it all by myself | 18:28 |
| MaverickPT | you guys running 13.10 yet? | 18:29 |
| teemperor | MaverickPT: sticking on the LTS :) | 18:31 |
| x-Na | teemperor, nobody answered anything :) | 18:45 |
| teemperor | x-Na: that's sad, what's your problem? | 18:45 |
| x-Na | Switching to GDM cause the gnome-shell of the first logged user to crash (disappear completely, leaving desktop unusable) when switching users | 18:46 |
| x-Na | Happens on 3.8 and 3.10 | 18:46 |
| x-Na | ...and silence again... | 19:18 |
| x-Na | I am suspecting that at some point I will have explain to my wife why we do not use windows. And this does not really improve the situation... | 19:19 |
| x-Na | +to | 19:20 |
| SonikkuAmerica | x-Na: GDM knocks off a current session? How? | 19:20 |
| SonikkuAmerica | One second... | 19:20 |
| x-Na | session stays, but gnome-shell crashes and leaves an empty white backgound | 19:20 |
| teemperor | x-Na: you can ping people :) | 19:20 |
| teemperor | x-Na: sometimes people get busy anf forget stuff :D | 19:21 |
| x-Na | i know | 19:21 |
| x-Na | with kids and all | 19:21 |
| teemperor | x-Na: using another greeter? lightdm has a lot of nice ones | 19:21 |
| x-Na | hbut | 19:22 |
| x-Na | lock screen works only with gdm, right? | 19:22 |
| x-Na | wife was wondering where it had gone | 19:22 |
| x-Na | hence this situation | 19:22 |
| teemperor | x-Na: AFAIK it uses the gnome lockscreen even with lightdm | 19:22 |
| x-Na | 3.8 does not | 19:22 |
| x-Na | earlier the situation was different | 19:23 |
| x-Na | It seems to have changed from 3.8 onwards | 19:23 |
| x-Na | I would use 3.10 but it needs GDM | 19:24 |
| x-Na | works like a charm as long as there is only one user logged on | 19:24 |
| x-Na | cant reproduce on virtualbox | 19:24 |
| x-Na | And I am losing my battery on my phone. | 19:25 |
| teemperor | x-Na: hmm, weird | 19:27 |
| teemperor | i'm using 3.4 | 19:27 |
| teemperor | kinda | 19:27 |
| x-Na | With 3.6 there were problems with GDM too, it had problems, but it worked in sense of logging and switching users | 19:29 |
| x-Na | But as I said, usually multiuser setups get neglected, IMHO | 19:29 |
| teemperor | x-Na: as the guy making the pantheon-greeter | 19:29 |
| teemperor | yes | 19:29 |
| teemperor | priority is low | 19:29 |
| teemperor | :( | 19:29 |
| x-Na | Which is sad, though | 19:30 |
| teemperor | x-Na: yeah, multi-user systems with graphical display are not thaat common | 19:30 |
| x-Na | I wouldn't want to switch to Windows for reasons like this, have been GNU/Linux only since 2004. | 19:30 |
| teemperor | that* | 19:30 |
| x-Na | But in 2004 things worked | 19:30 |
| x-Na | What happened in these 9 years | 19:30 |
| teemperor | x-Na: true, so much stuff gets broken | 19:31 |
| teemperor | x-Na: i would say: use elementary OS but you were already in #elementary because of bugs ;) | 19:31 |
| teemperor | and it's not my job to play the advocate in a gnome channel. Just helping out because it seems that gnome-ubuntu is low on manpower | 19:31 |
| x-Na | I fell in love with Linux almost instantly, when I started back in 1998 | 19:32 |
| teemperor | btw, is the bug also happening on other distros? | 19:32 |
| teemperor | fedora? arch or something? | 19:32 |
| x-Na | I haven't tried | 19:32 |
| x-Na | As I have only one desktop-pc that needs to work | 19:32 |
| teemperor | if you have another system, you can push that bug to the gnome devs (instead of the gnome-ubuntu devs) | 19:32 |
| x-Na | And I really do not want to go rpm | 19:32 |
| teemperor | nobody wants, rpm is fugly | 19:33 |
| teemperor | you could try debian :) | 19:33 |
| x-Na | It does not have 3.10 | 19:33 |
| x-Na | I switched to ubuntu back in the old days as it got me the latest Gnome faster | 19:33 |
| teemperor | yeah, not the latest, but you enjoy stability :) | 19:33 |
| teemperor | ubuntu turned the non-LTS to a beta-test thingy | 19:34 |
| x-Na | Well | 19:34 |
| x-Na | No comment on that | 19:34 |
| x-Na | So far everything else has worked | 19:34 |
| x-Na | But as they focus on Unity... | 19:34 |
| x-Na | Which just does not appeal to me at all | 19:34 |
| x-Na | Debian might have 3.8, though | 19:35 |
| x-Na | but I don't want to go through the hassle of installing and reinstalling just for test... | 19:36 |
| x-Na | I did file a bug, but let's see what happens | 19:38 |
| teemperor | x-Na: gnome bugtracker? | 19:39 |
| x-Na | No, ubuntu-bug | 19:41 |
| Ben10 | hi where do i report a bug on the latest ISO | 20:07 |
| Ben10 | if anyone sees this later, the entire X Window System freezes when columns are dragged in GNOME System Monitor. This affects the 64 and 32 bit versions | 20:12 |
| carlosmtnz | hi | 22:26 |
