[07:20] <lesmo>  Uhm... hi. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as to how to solve this "glitches" or "artifacts" of black spots in, so far just Gnome Tweak Tool and the splash of Ubuntu Tweak Tool? I just re-installed Gnome 3.12 after a fatal attempt of trying 3.14 http://i.imgur.com/nu8Eu5B.jpg
[09:42] <lindol> hi all
[09:55] <lesmo> My desktop won't show up when I choose "System Default" in the login screen, but works if I choose Gnome or Ubuntu. Any suggestions as to where should I look or search for solutions?
[13:58] <picsel_asdf> Hey, I've got the following problem: when I try to start deja-dup trough the gnome shell, it seems to crash. So I looked up the command in the .desktop-File (deja-dup --backup) and starting it manually through the console works without problem. Does somebody have an idea why it won't start through gnome shell? (I'm using Ubuntu Gnome 14.10; Deja-Dup is Version 32.0-0ubuntu1)
[14:06] <mjayk> in the desktop file have you tried terminal = true picsel_asdf ?
[14:11] <picsel_asdf> @mjayk: I added it to deja-dup.desktop and restarted gnome shell but still nothing
[14:11] <meetingology> picsel_asdf: Error: "mjayk:" is not a valid command.
[14:11] <picsel_asdf> mjayk: I added it to deja-dup.desktop and restarted gnome shell but still nothing
[14:20] <mjayk> picsel_asdf: after you added Terminal=true did it open a terminal window ?
[14:29] <eliasps> picsel_asdf try this. At first, on the desktop file set undo the change that you made on the file (terminal=true) and save the file. Then open a terminal type:
[14:30] <eliasps> deja-dup-preferences
[14:30] <eliasps> On the window that'll open set the switch to on. Then close the window, open the system settings and try opening "Backups" again.
[14:41] <mjayk> anyone know how to get corner snapping in gnome
[14:42] <eliasps> What do you mean mjayk? I don't get the "snapping" word.
[14:44] <eliasps> darkxst sorry if I bother you, but check out picsel_asdf 's issue. Same thing happens to me on 14.10. It gets solved the way I mentioned above. Do you want me to report it on launchpad?
[14:44] <eliasps> ...and provide some more info.
[14:45] <mjayk> sorry eliasps i ment like so i can move a window to a corner and it snaps to that corner of the sceen, like when you move it to the edge and it snaps to the sidef of the screen
[14:46] <picsel_asdf> mjayk: No, it didn't.
[14:47] <eliasps> mjayk I don't know how to do it by tweaking the code, but maybe you should check out if there is any extension available
[14:47] <eliasps> like this one
[14:47] <eliasps> https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/28/gtile/
[14:48] <eliasps> And no sorry needed. It's not your fault but mine, because English is not my native language and I get confused sometimes.
[14:49] <picsel_asdf> eliasps: I tried what you suggest, but again nothing.
[14:52] <eliasps> picsel_asdf what happens if you type gnome-control-center deja-dup on the terminal? what type of error do you get?
[14:56] <picsel_asdf> eliasps: Oh, good idea. It seems to be a segfault: http://pastebin.com/PwxSA2Qb
[14:57] <picsel_asdf> Speicherzugriffsfehler is german for segmentation fault
[14:58] <eliasps> I get exactly the same error as well. But it gets solved the way I mentioned above. The error still remains but the app doesn't fail to appear.
[14:59] <eliasps> To be exact.. the desktop file that runs the deja-dup is the gnome-deja-dup-panel.desktop not the deja-dup.desktop
[14:59] <eliasps> The first runs it through gnome-control-center (system settings). The second act likes an independent application launcher (independent from gnome-control-center)
[15:00] <eliasps> Like I said, the way I described above works for me.
[15:01] <eliasps> Another workaround you may try temporarily, is edit the deja-dup.desktop file and change the "NoDisplay=true" to "NoDisplay=false"
[15:01] <eliasps> Then, the application "Backups" will be on the application list of gnome-shell, but inside system settings as well. If you open it through system settings is still won't open, But it will if you open it through the application menu.
[15:02] <eliasps> Whatever the reason, I'd suggest to report is as a bug on launchpad. If you need help with that, I can help you. :)
[15:07] <picsel_asdf> Ok, I'll make a report tomorrow if I find some time. Thank you very much for your help!
[20:12] <darkxst> eliasps, I  guess that is bug 1379446
[20:13] <darkxst> don't know why the fix still hasnt been uploaded though
