| dzho | oh dear sweet fsm wtf has ubuntu done to me now | 15:45 |
|---|---|---|
| dzho | Activities | 15:45 |
| dzho | There's what is presumably a network manager icon in the bar across the top, on the right, but when I click it I get a volume control | 15:46 |
| dzho | everything that had been on the left hand side of the screen (eg, Terminal, browser, etc) has been reset to a set of defaults | 15:46 |
| dzho | w.t.a.f. | 15:46 |
| dzho | ahahahaha, so, I've logged out and back in again, which gave me opportunity to see that the login manager switched me from Ubuntu to GNOME | 20:04 |
| * dzho huggles Ubuntu now that he sees what they've been up against. | 20:04 | |
| Unit193 | Hah. | 20:04 |
| dzho | I'm still a little bit angry at them for throwing me into that but bugs happen. | 20:05 |
| dzho | sort of they-don't-get-any-dessert-tonight angry, rather than burn the fscker down angry | 20:05 |
| Unit193 | Why'd you get a new session anyway? | 20:06 |
| dzho | that's the bug, I think. I logged out in anticipation of the upgrades I applied requiring a restart. | 20:06 |
| dzho | I did the upgrades from a virtual terminal, all apt-get dist-upgrade like. | 20:07 |
| dzho | logged back in, and whoah, I guess this is GNOME eh? | 20:07 |
| dzho | logged back in via the login manager that is | 20:07 |
| Unit193 | dpkg -S the file under /usr/share/xsessions/? | 20:07 |
| dzho | there are four | 20:08 |
| dzho | $ ls /usr/share/xsessions/ | 20:08 |
| dzho | gnome.desktop gnome-fallback.desktop | 20:08 |
| dzho | gnome-fallback-compiz.desktop ubuntu.desktop | 20:08 |
| dzho | I have lightdm and gdm both. | 20:09 |
| dzho | I think my default is gdm, but how and why and when I set that may be lost to the mists of time. | 20:09 |
| dzho | but it would make sense for gdm to give you a GNOME desktop, except for my having set it differently in the past. | 20:09 |
| dzho | probably not a thing they test for because if you use gdm you use GNOME. Duh, right? | 20:10 |
| Unit193 | Well of course! | 20:11 |
| dzho | I feel a little less like the world is crumbling around me. | 20:12 |
