davidarinoHi everyone, any developers here? Got some positive feedback00:55
davidarinoanyone in here?00:57
zerwasSure.00:57
zerwasBut I'm just another user like you.00:57
davidarinokk00:57
zerwasdavidarino: Tell us about it!00:58
davidarinoI'll paste the feedback in, and hopefully a dev will see it00:58
davidarinoThis comes from see a swarm of negative comments about people's preferences with the OS they use00:59
davidarinoMe = linux noob in about 201200:59
davidarinoI started with ubuntu, as it was easiest to migrate to using wubi as a hack to begin with then learning how to do it properly with live usbs.00:59
davidarinoI've learnt a lot with ubuntu, but to be honest I didn't like the interface that much.00:59
davidarinoI understand its more aimed at a touch interface01:00
davidarinoand that's just fine01:00
davidarinoI've tried a few flavours then finally, thank goodness tried gnome.01:00
davidarinoI think its excellent, and if I was developing an OS flavour I imagine I would come up with something very similar given I had enough time to write it01:01
davidarinoI also really appreciate that gnome ubuntu people offer previous "classic" interfaces at login for people who aren't inclined to change just yet01:01
davidarinoSo for any developers out there, well done! I appreciate huge amount of hours coding something to be that stable and pretty, as well as open source.01:03
zerwas:-)01:04
davidarinoIt actually a little ridiculous that you can have it for free, and for all the people who want it this way or that way or tweak it, including gnome tweak tool as well as extensions was a very good idea.01:04
davidarinoMmmmm, that's it I hope they find it, as I didn't think this was appropriate for a mailing list01:06

ramrebol_Hi. Someone uses something like "Workspace grid" https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/484/workspace-grid/  ?  I'm looking for something like that, but that is outdated02:38
ramrebol_:'(02:45
ramrebol_nobody has that problem?02:55
zerwasramrebol_: did you look at the comments?03:16
ramrebol_thanks for answer zerwas. I read the "fakedrake" answer (2 moth ago) and installed "Worspace grid", but appears "!" symbol http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=zx4312&s=8#.U-BO5taNHeQ03:27
ramrebol_(I did CTRL+F2 + r to reload gnome-shell)03:28
zerwasAre you on 3.12?03:29
zerwasIf you hover over the warning symbol, what does it say?03:29
ramrebol_Says "Extension does not support shell version"03:31
ramrebol_and I have GNOME Shell 3.10.403:32
ramrebol_(comes with ubuntu gnome dvd version 14.04)03:32
ramrebol_do you think that if I upgrade my gnome-shell yo 3.12 version this would works?03:36
ramrebol_now I'm ungrading03:38
ramrebol_wish me look03:38
zerwasramrebol_: wow, you are upgrading GNOME because of one extension?03:39
zerwasramrebol_: How are you upgrading?03:39
ramrebol_I guess (or I hope) that updating does not explode. I see that the version 14 is stable :/03:44
ramrebol_I just add one repository and upgrade (I using ubuntu with gnome)03:45
ramrebol_Do you think that was a bad idea?03:45
ramrebol_(version 3.12 not 14)03:47
ramrebol_this is a bad idea?03:49
ramrebol_I-ll be back un 2 minuts03:54
zerwasramrebol: No, I'm using 3.12 via the PPA, too. But not everyone should/wants to do that03:57
ramrebolI cut the upgrate and download the paa. I need a lot the pc this week and I can't reinstall the system if the upgrade fail :(03:59
zerwasI see03:59
ramrebolbut has two rows of workspaces is very comfortable to me. Do you know another way to achieve this?04:00
ramrebol(my english is terrible, as you see )04:01
zerwasYour english is fine, don't worry :-)04:07
zerwasSorry, I normally don't use workspaces at all04:07
ramrebolthanks for your kindness (about my languaje )04:08
ramrebolso, you must to start to use worspace, hehe04:08
zerwasI just saw that the bitbucket version only has 3.12 in metadata.json, maybe it works if you add 3.10 there04:08
ramrebolI'm looking inside of the files04:16
ramrebol? edited something, but without look.04:17
LinDolhi all13:04
ramrebolhi zerwas: do you remember me?14:52
zerwasramrebol: welcome back :)14:53
ramrebolyesterday you gave me the idea (noting that my version of gnome is not the last one). Just searched the version of "workspace grid" to gnome 3.10 (mine gnome version) and it worked perfect whole.14:57
ramrebollook http://tinypic.com/r/dyqiyh/814:58
ramrebolthanks for the idea!14:58
ramrebolworks perfect!14:59
zerwasramrebol: Great! Without updating to 3.12 :)14:59
ramrebolyea. You have right, it was too risky to upgrate the version of gnome (whichalready runs perfect to me) only for detail.15:02
ramrebolthe only detail is the transparent background of terminals (does not work), but I can survive with that15:04
DASPRiDramrebol, there's a workaround15:05
ramrebolDASPRiD: yea? an easy way?15:12
DASPRiDyep15:12
DASPRiDlemme see if i find the link again15:12
ramrebol(so, do you are using that?)15:13
DASPRiDyep15:13
DASPRiDramrebol, http://forum.pinguyos.com/Thread-Get-Back-Transparent-Terminal15:13
DASPRiDbasically: install devilspie, tell it to make all terminals transparent bei 99% (not noticable); then transparency works again15:13
DASPRiDthat's for gnome 3.10 btw15:14
DASPRiDfor 3.12 there's a PPA with a fixed gnome-terminal15:14
ramrebolthanks DASPRiD, I going to logout now to prove15:27
ramrebolNow I have the terminal transparency.15:31
ramrebolterrific!15:31
DASPRiDramrebol, you're welcome :)16:43
