| melodie | hi | 12:26 |
| melodie | does someone know what is the best way to get the GNOME/Openbox session to work? After installing Openbox, and the Openbox configuration files from /etc/xdg/openbox, the said session does not provide a panel. I am not sure why? | 12:27 |

| majod | hi | 15:06 |
| majod | the random keyboard switching bug is still present, so it didnt solve on its own. however i found another bug which i can reproduce every single time but id like to ask if someone else can reproduce it to...i cant change wallpaper from firefox | 15:07 |
| mgedmin | maybe firefox writes to the old gconf key instead of using gsettings? | 15:11 |
| majod | firefox saves the image as Firefox_wallpaper.png to home folder...even when i open the file and set it as background, it doesnt change | 15:12 |
| majod | only after logout and login | 15:12 |
| mgedmin | hm, some kind of caching? | 15:12 |
| mgedmin | gnome-shell doesn't get a notification about the desktop change because what firefox does is (1) overwrite the existing image file, and (2) set the gconf/gsettings key to the same value it was set to previously | 15:13 |
| majod | ive no idea. maybe. the background does its fade animation from current background to blue color and back to current wallpaper, not to the new one | 15:13 |
| mgedmin | https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710756 | 15:13 |
| ubot5 | Gnome bug 710756 in background "Changes to current background wallpaper source image not detected consistently" [Normal,Unconfirmed] | 15:13 |
| mgedmin | looks like the fix is a work in progress | 15:14 |
| mgedmin | probably stalled since there were no updates since Dec 2013 | 15:15 |
| mgedmin | you may try talking to people on irc.gnome.org, in the #gnome-shell channel | 15:15 |
| mgedmin | that's where the developers are | 15:15 |
| majod | im reading about the bug its something different | 15:15 |
| majod | that guy wants gnome to automatically detect changes in the file | 15:16 |
| majod | but i manually set the file as desktop background and it doesnt work | 15:16 |
| mgedmin | I thought you used firefox? | 15:16 |
| majod | yes | 15:16 |
| Greylocks | majod: <ALT-F2-r> might set it. Have you tried that? | 15:16 |
| majod | but like i said, even opening the file and setting it as a wallpaper doesnt work | 15:16 |
| mgedmin | because you're changing the picture-uri key to the same value it was already set to, which looks like a no-op and so dconfd doesn't send any notifications (AFAIU) | 15:17 |
| majod | i get the "the image Firefox..." has been set as backround"...but it didnt | 15:17 |
| mgedmin | try setting it to a different image and then selecting the one firefox uses | 15:17 |
| mgedmin | but if this bug was fixed, you wouldn't need any workarounds | 15:17 |
| majod | Greylocks: yes it works that way | 15:19 |
| majod | logging out and back in also solves it | 15:19 |
| majod | renaming the file also solves it | 15:20 |
| majod | so youre right | 15:20 |
| majod | restarting gnome messed my terminal, brb | 15:20 |
| mgedmin | https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725652 is also interesting, might be a dupe, or might be something else | 15:21 |
| ubot5 | Gnome bug 725652 in background "Set as wallpaper breaks sometimes" [Normal,Unconfirmed] | 15:21 |
| mgedmin | terminal messup? I've seen some of those after an alt-f2 r, nasty | 15:21 |
| majod | ok so thanks guys for your help...i will try to report to gnome | 15:22 |
| melodie | hi | 16:14 |
| melodie | I see a few more people now maybe could I ask my question again? | 16:14 |

| darkxst | melodie, if it is using gnome-panel, then you probably want to set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity | 21:45 |
| melodie | darkxst even if it does not use Unity? | 22:01 |
| darkxst | yes | 22:01 |
| melodie | is that to be added to the environment file in the .config/openbox directory? | 22:01 |
| darkxst | any GNOME2 based session should use that | 22:01 |
| darkxst | its set by gnome-session/Xsession configuration | 22:02 |
| melodie | then how do I have to set it up? | 22:02 |
| melodie | what puzzles me also is that the autostart file from openbox says things about "if this and that /usr/lib/openbox/gnome-something-daemon" (I don't have the distro right under my sight now, excuse me being approximate) but there is not such file at that place | 22:04 |
| melodie | gnome-settings-daemon ! | 22:04 |
| darkxst | edit X-LightDM-DesktopName in /usr/share/xsessions/.deskop | 22:04 |
| darkxst | openbox.desktop | 22:04 |
| darkxst | and DesktopName in /usr/share/gnome-sessions | 22:05 |
| melodie | darkxst thanks, I'll look tomorrow. I keep all my logs from IRC so it won't be long to find your information (here it's paste midnight now :) ) | 22:23 |
| melodie | one more question and that's it, how can I know if originally it was a Unity turned into a Ubuntu Gnome, or if it is an original Ubuntu Gnome? (the edition is 13.04, and yes, I know it's not supported anymore, just for now it will stay there because it needs to have all the user date copied elsewhere) | 22:26 |
| darkxst | melodie, I don;t think you can | 22:49 |
| ahoneybun | hey darkxst | 23:17 |
| darkxst | ahoneybun, ni | 23:28 |
| darkxst | hi | 23:28 |
| ahoneybun | I got polari to compile | 23:29 |
| ahoneybun | and install | 23:29 |
| * ahoneybun knows it is not a big deal but is happy he could do it | 23:29 | |
| darkxst | ahoneybun, with debian packaing? can add it to the ppa if so | 23:30 |
| ahoneybun | I got it from source gnome site in tar.gz | 23:31 |
| ahoneybun | got my way into #ubuntu | 23:33 |
| ahoneybun_ | nice now I'm in here with polari | 23:34 |
| ahoneybun_ | darkxst: should I upload it to that ppa then? | 23:34 |
| darkxst | it will need debian packaging first | 23:35 |
| ahoneybun_ | oh | 23:37 |
| * ahoneybun_ looks on ubuntu wiki | 23:37 | |
| darkxst | ahoneybun_, probably easiest to start with 'debian/' folder from another gjs app like gnome-weather | 23:39 |
| darkxst | and then go through all files and rename things | 23:39 |
| ahoneybun_ | sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-weather? | 23:40 |
| darkxst | apt-get source gnome-weather | 23:40 |
| ahoneybun_ | I'm still surprised it built lol | 23:43 |
| ahoneybun_ | just throw debian/ into the polari directory? | 23:45 |
| darkxst | yes | 23:45 |
| darkxst | then s/gnome-weather/polari/ | 23:45 |
| darkxst | check dependencies in debian/control against configure.ac | 23:45 |
| ahoneybun_ | s/... ? | 23:46 |
| darkxst | replace all occurrences of gnome-weather with polari | 23:46 |
| ahoneybun_ | as in? sorry just a bit slow understanding this | 23:48 |
| ahoneybun_ | in configure.ac I don't deps in there like in control | 23:50 |
| ahoneybun_ | oh replace gnome-weather in control with polari? | 23:50 |
| darkxst | you only edit the files in debian/ folder | 23:52 |
| darkxst | the PKG_CHECK_MODULES in configure.ac, defines the build-deps that need to go in debian/control | 23:55 |
| darkxst | but using ubuntu package names not the packageconfig names | 23:55 |
| ahoneybun_ | but replace all gnome-wether with polari? | 23:56 |
| ahoneybun_ | I know their is a command to give you the ubuntu package names | 23:57 |
