| maiki | Hiya folks. I am trying to find the preferences in gedit. | 03:29 |
|---|---|---|
| maiki | It isn't in the edit menu, nor any other place. Is there another package I should install? | 03:30 |
| ennova | maiki: Click on the Gedit icon beside the Activities button on the top panel | 03:30 |
| maiki | It just says quit. | 03:31 |
| ennova | Which gnome version are you using? | 03:32 |
| maiki | Without looking it up with --version, it is the one that came with Gnome Ubuntu 13.10. | 03:32 |
| maiki | Er, Ubuntu Gnome. | 03:33 |
| maiki | GNOME Shell 3.8.4 | 03:34 |
| ennova | Well, afaik the preferences are in that menu, Is there a Gear icon on the right top corner of the window | 03:36 |
| maiki | Nope. I am stumped. | 03:39 |
| maiki | Figured I was missing something obvious, but I've gone over all the normal things. Odd that it isn't in the edit menu, though. | 03:39 |
| maiki | I was thinking of removing and installing again, but when I go to remove it, it wants to remove ubuntu-gnome-desktop as well. | 03:40 |
| maiki | That sounds scary. | 03:40 |
| ennova | Had you by chance installed unity | 03:43 |
| ennova | This might help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2170457&p=12769702&viewfull=1#post12769702 | 03:45 |
| maiki | Thanks ennova. I guess I can try to edit it with dconf-editor. Would you happen to be able to check the color schemes? I can put in a string, and the default is classic. I am not sure what the others are called. | 04:13 |
| maiki | Also, does no one else have this issue? I thought it would be wide-spread, can't figure out what is different on my system. | 04:14 |
| pratnala | hello | 07:32 |
| pratnala | is ubuntu gnome 14.04 shifting to mir as well? | 07:36 |
| pratnala | what are the implications for mac users? will gnome continue to run on a mac as it does now? | 07:37 |
| pratnala | and why isn't there a gnome amd64+mac iso like ubuntu has? | 07:37 |
| c_smith | pratnala, I think it's a bit early for most people to know that stuff. | 07:55 |
| c_smith | 14.04 hasn't even hit an alpha milestone. | 07:56 |
| pratnala | hmm. fair enough. | 07:56 |
| pratnala | and why no special mac iso like ubuntu? | 07:56 |
| c_smith | pratnala, the mac isos afaik were for booting with efi (not UEFI) where the multi-catalog part hadn't been figured out, might be wrong there, though. | 07:57 |
| c_smith | pratnala, how new is the mac you're asking this about? if it's newer, it SHOULD have uefi and no issue with booting the regular image. | 07:58 |
| pratnala | mid 2012 | 07:58 |
| pratnala | ubuntu gnome runs fine but sort of hangs up sometimes. | 07:58 |
| pratnala | the windows just disappear | 07:58 |
| pratnala | i have to restart gdm then | 07:58 |
| c_smith | ah, well, tbh, I'm not a mac user (built my own pc) so I don't know much about them. | 07:58 |
| c_smith | pratnala, I have that issue on both my laptops, that isn't a EFI or bootloader issue, that's most likely a bug. | 07:59 |
| c_smith | pratnala, I recommend filing a bug about it. | 07:59 |
| pratnala | ahh okay. thought it was a bug on my mac | 07:59 |
| pratnala | where do i do that? | 07:59 |
| c_smith | pratnala, launchpad.net | 08:00 |
| pratnala | here? https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team | 08:00 |
| c_smith | pratnala, you'll need a launchpad account there, though. but be sure to give as much info related to the issue as possible. | 08:00 |
| pratnala | i have a launchpad account already. | 08:01 |
| pratnala | sure i'll try to give as much details as i can. but it is really very random | 08:01 |
| c_smith | pratnala, only if you're using a ppa they maintain (i.e. gnome 3 staging, gnome 3 next) | 08:01 |
| pratnala | i found a similar issue on askubuntu, http://askubuntu.com/questions/235443/disappearing-windows-in-gnome-3 | 08:01 |
| c_smith | pratnala, give me a sec. | 08:01 |
| c_smith | gonna look at that last link | 08:02 |
| pratnala | i installed from ubuntu gnome and then added ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 | 08:02 |
| pratnala | okay... | 08:02 |
| c_smith | pratnala, then yeah, I'd submit a bug report to the gnome3 team. | 08:03 |
| pratnala | but yeah i had this bug before adding that ppa too | 08:03 |
| c_smith | and if you are feeling especially helpful, put a bug in to upstream at the Gnome bugzilla. | 08:03 |
| pratnala | so which is the best place to file a bug? | 08:03 |
| c_smith | pratnala, I don't have that offhand, but I'll get it, give me a few to grab it, launchpad can be that complex, lol | 08:04 |
| pratnala | haha okay | 08:04 |
| c_smith | pratnala, I'm assuming you'll be having the issue with gnome shell itself. | 08:04 |
| pratnala | yes gnome shell | 08:05 |
| c_smith | there's a launchpad page for that. | 08:05 |
| pratnala | it happens once a day at momst | 08:05 |
| pratnala | most* | 08:05 |
| pratnala | where's that? | 08:05 |
| c_smith | this is the package on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/gnome-shell | 08:05 |
| c_smith | if you report it there, and the devs deem it's a bug in a different package, they'll move it. | 08:06 |
| pratnala | alright. thanks a ton! | 08:06 |
| c_smith | no prob! feel free to come back here if you have other issues. :D | 08:06 |
| pratnala | one last question. | 08:06 |
| pratnala | this isnt a bug. | 08:06 |
| c_smith | alright. ask away | 08:06 |
| pratnala | how to get the default ubuntu themes (ambiance and radiance)? gtk and cursor theme | 08:07 |
| c_smith | that's a simple set of packages if I recall correctly. | 08:07 |
| Waterbottle | Hello guys, before I download this: does this have Amazon integration and does it support UEFI booting? | 08:08 |
| pratnala | c_smith, which packages? | 08:08 |
| pratnala | sorry i dont have any idea | 08:08 |
| c_smith | pratnala, for radiance, you'd either search for it in the software manager by the theme name, same with ambiance. | 08:09 |
| pratnala | Waterbottle, I think amazon is unity specific but UEFI should work. | 08:09 |
| c_smith | I believe both include the cursor, not 100% certain. | 08:09 |
| pratnala | c_smith, in the ubuntu software center? | 08:09 |
| c_smith | pratnala, yes, or synaptic if you chose to go that route. both would work. | 08:09 |
| Waterbottle | Sweet, thanks Pratnala. I'd hate to have to disable the whole load of settings just to dual boot | 08:09 |
| pratnala | c_smith, okay thanks again! | 08:10 |
| c_smith | Waterbottle, yeah, that's the main reason I prefer Gnome. lol | 08:10 |
| c_smith | pratnala, no prob. :D | 08:10 |
| pratnala | Waterbottle, no problem buddy! just switched from Ubuntu to Ubuntu Gnome full time and am loving it :D | 08:10 |
| pratnala | Gnome sure feels more professional and clean | 08:10 |
| c_smith | Waterbottle, also, just a recommendation, but check out extensions.gnome.org when you install it. | 08:10 |
| c_smith | that's the site for gnome shell extensions. | 08:11 |
| c_smith | pratnala, true story, feel free to come back to this channel if you have more questions about Ubuntu Gnome. :) | 08:11 |
| pratnala | i found something called light themes in synaptic but that didn't add cursor themes :( | 08:12 |
| pratnala | i want a white cursor. | 08:12 |
| c_smith | ah, that might be in the default install, don't know for sure, getting ready to wipe windows off this machine and put Ubuntu Gnome back on it. | 08:13 |
| pratnala | thats called dmz cursor. found it :D | 08:13 |
| c_smith | pratnala, nice! | 08:14 |
| pratnala | i really like the mac style mission control in gnome! :D | 08:14 |
| c_smith | pratnala, mind if I give a recommendation on a place to get some decent gnome and gtk themes, and cursor themes? | 08:14 |
| pratnala | please do so! | 08:15 |
| c_smith | http://www.noobslab.com/ | 08:15 |
| c_smith | that site has got a decent selection, | 08:15 |
| pratnala | why doesnt tweak tool have a setting for window theme? it was there when i slapped gnome on top of unity. | 08:16 |
| pratnala | thanks for that! | 08:16 |
| pratnala | now my title bar looks like adwaita and window looks like ambiance lol | 08:17 |
| c_smith | no clue. | 08:17 |
| c_smith | anyway. you're very welcome. | 08:17 |
| pratnala | thanks again! | 08:18 |
