[03:29] <maiki> Hiya folks. I am trying to find the preferences in gedit.
[03:30] <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
[03:31] <maiki> It just says quit.
[03:32] <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.
[03:33] <maiki> Er, Ubuntu Gnome.
[03:34] <maiki> GNOME Shell 3.8.4
[03:36] <ennova> Well, afaik the preferences are in that menu, Is there a Gear icon on the right top corner of the window
[03:39] <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.
[03:40] <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.
[03:43] <ennova> Had you by chance installed unity
[03:45] <ennova> This might help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2170457&p=12769702&viewfull=1#post12769702
[04:13] <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.
[04:14] <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.
[07:32] <pratnala> hello
[07:36] <pratnala> is ubuntu gnome 14.04 shifting to mir as well?
[07:37] <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?
[07:55] <c_smith> pratnala, I think it's a bit early for most people to know that stuff.
[07:56] <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?
[07:57] <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.
[07:58] <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.
[07:59] <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?
[08:00] <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.
[08:01] <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.
[08:02] <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...
[08:03] <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?
[08:04] <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.
[08:05] <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
[08:06] <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
[08:07] <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.
[08:08] <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
[08:09] <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
[08:10] <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.
[08:11] <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. :)
[08:12] <pratnala> i found something called light themes in synaptic but that didn't add cursor themes :(
[08:12] <pratnala> i want a white cursor.
[08:13] <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
[08:14] <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?
[08:15] <pratnala> please do so!
[08:15] <c_smith> http://www.noobslab.com/
[08:15] <c_smith> that site has got a decent selection,
[08:16] <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!
[08:17] <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.
[08:18] <pratnala> thanks again!
