darkxstd1ndra, there is pretty much no c++ in GNOME00:07
darkxstlots of c, vala, javascript (for gnome-shell) and a few python apps00:07
d1ndraI know C too, but I've heard that developing with C take in a lot of effort and one has to focus on a lot of details. Would it be a good idea to enhance my knowledge of Python and work on something using it?00:09
knittldarkxst: adwaita (default)06:36
darkxstknittl, I have heard reports but not been able to reproduce myself06:37
knittlhm. I will make a screenshot later today06:38
darkxstknittl, are they just transparent?06:38
knittldarkxst: yeah, the dark themed windows (for instance gnome-terminal) get a transparent title bar (still with title and buttons, but transparent background)06:39
darkxstyeh seen screenshots of that, but I am hopeless at theming, so can't fix unless I can reproduce06:40
knittlmy guess is some invalid css properties06:40
darkxstknittl, maybe its using the old adwaita, rather than the one that is now built-in to gtk package (for 3.14)06:41
knittlcould be a possibility06:41
knittlhow can I verify?06:41
darkxstI'm not entirely sure, you could just try removing the old gnome-themes package if its still installed?06:44
knittliirc it was a dependency of ubuntu-gnome-desktop06:44
darkxstknittl, let it remove that if needed06:45
knittlalright. will try in the afternoon06:45
darkxstknittl, ok let me know how it goes, I will be updating ubuntu-gnome-desktop for 3.14 in a week or 2 (on vivid) but can backport that to utopic ppa also06:47
knittlsure. thanks :)06:47
mgedminknittl, it's also worth running apt-show-versions | grep -v uptodate, to see if you've all the packages from the right archives06:48
knittlwill do (but I think everything is up to date)06:49
mgedmin(also it _might_ be a driver bug)06:56
knittlnvidia? how??06:57
mgedminI mean, if badly-drawn shadows can be a driver bug, why not badly-drawn titlebars?06:59
darkxstmgedmin, sure it could be, but I have not seen any bugs with nvidia blob07:02
mgedminknittl, do you use the blob or noveau?07:03
knittlmgedmin: proprietary nvidia07:04
knittlnouveau doesn't work on my system (forces hard reboots)07:05
mgedminok, that's interesting: my gnome-shell just crashed07:06
knittlthe hard reboots don't have anything to do with gnome-shell07:07
mgedminsegfault in shell_app_compare07:07
mgedminho ho ho UnicodeEncodeError in apport-retrace while printing the stack trace07:11
darkxstmgedmin, apport-retrace is pretty fragile07:15
darkxstand if the crash is from js code, you really need shell in a live gdb session so you can gjs_dumpstack()07:16
darkxstone day gdb might grow support to retrace those things (I think someone at mozilla is working on it), but right now its not that way unfortunaley07:27
mgedminmy disk hasn't got enough free space for all the debug symbols :/07:28
darkxstmost are pretty small except for bloody webkit07:31
mgedmininteresting message in /home/mg/.cache/upstart/gnome-session-GNOME.log during gnome-shell startup08:04
mgedmin(gnome-shell:30338): Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: Exception in callback for signal: startup-complete: Error: Requiring GSystem, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'GSystem' (any version) not found08:04
mgedminmissing dependency on some gir package?08:04
mgedmingir1.2-gsystem-1.0?08:06
mgedminyeah, installing that and alt-f2 r gets rid of the error08:10
mgedminI'll file a bug so this doesn't get lost08:11

ubot5Ubuntu bug 1388736 in Ubuntu GNOME "missing dependency on gir1.2-gsystem-1.0" [Undecided,New]08:15
darkxstmgedmin, or fix it and I will upload for you ;)08:46
darkxstthis month is a flurry of sorts, hopefully we will have all of core 3.14 in before alpha108:49
darkxstmgedmin, and I only have time to work on the real problems, that other team members can't do08:52
mgedmindo you keep the packaging bits in a repository somewhere?  I could send a git patch...08:53
[vbm]hi there, my 14.04 upgrade broke Gnome Do. I am running ubuntu with openbox + tint2 + docky and I can invoke Do with ctrl+alt+space but when I type something nothing appears. I googled it but couldn't find anything helpful. can anybody help?08:54
mgedminoh, gir1.2-gsystem-1.0 is not available on debian09:28
mgedminand here I was all prepared to report a debian bug09:28
=== prth is now known as prth|away
mgedminwelp, why is libvte in ubuntu so ancient (0.28.2)?  upstream is up to version 0.38 already11:03
mgedminand I want a bugfix from 0.35.1 (https://github.com/GNOME/vte/commit/a118544044e064ea1d3f36e959d961845ec9c317)11:03
mgedminnever mind I'm an idio11:08
[vbm]hi there, my 14.04 upgrade broke Gnome Do. I am running ubuntu with openbox + tint2 + docky and I can invoke Do with ctrl+alt+space but when I type something nothing appears. I googled it but couldn't find anything helpful. can anybody help?11:20
mgedmin[vbm], wouldn't know where to start :(11:21
[vbm]mgedmin, thanks anyway. I upgraded my X40 a couple of days ago and now I can't use do's shortcuts. It's a bit annoying as a I normally use it for everything that isn't on the dock.11:25
mgedminI can imagine11:26
mgedminis it gnome-do failing to find something?  or an input problem of some sort?11:26
mgedminhave you tried google?11:26
[vbm]gnome-do appears as blank. whatever I type appears in the box, but the usual autocomplete and with the 2nd box showing run does not appear11:29
mgedminany errors in, uh, ~/.cache/upstart/*.log?11:29
[vbm]google hasn't been particularly helpful. most links are about how great gnome-do is and how to install it :) checking *.log now11:30
[vbm]can't find upstart under .cache11:33
mgedminthen maybe ~/.xsession-errors11:35
[vbm]a couple of badwindow messages and a few "Cairo.Surface is leaking, programmer is missing a call to Dispose" but I'm not sure invoking do creates nay more entries on the log11:39
mgedmin[vbm], I suggest asking for advice on #gnome-do11:40
[vbm]thanks. will do. i didn't see that channel before. thanks.11:43
lindolhi all11:51
lindolHeavensbus, hi11:52
Heavensbuslindol: hi11:55
knittldarkxst: hi16:47
knittlI'm at my machine again16:47
knittlremoving gnome-themes-standard will also remove gdm*, gnome-shell*, and mutter* (to name a few)16:48
