| georgeowell | why is there so much "broken" software in the Ubuntu repos? | 01:10 |
|---|---|---|
| georgeowell | Like for example a certain application that's non functioning on a specific version | 01:11 |
| georgeowell | As somewhat of a Linux newbie, I'm surprised some of this stuff doesn't get fixed. Is it just lack of resources? Some applications have been broken for years. | 01:12 |
| micahg | lack of resources, is there something specific? I would suggest filing bug reports and/or if you know it's fixed in a later version, you can request a backport | 01:23 |
| micahg | over 75% is imported unchanged from Debian | 01:27 |
| georgeowell | Yeh, I've come across quite a few. One that springs to mind right now is the Seahorse encryption extension for nautilus. | 01:27 |
| georgeowell | Maybe that's more of a Ubuntu-Gnome specific bug | 01:28 |
| georgeowell | oh that's interesting. Do they take them from Debian testing? | 01:28 |
| micahg | unstable unless it's an LTS release | 01:28 |
| micahg | which release? | 01:28 |
| georgeowell | 14.10 | 01:28 |
| georgeowell | All my PGP stuff is set up correctly | 01:30 |
| georgeowell | Are all the Ubuntu bugs handled through launchpad? | 01:31 |
| micahg | yes | 01:31 |
| micahg | any of these? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse-nautilus | 01:32 |
| georgeowell | I'll have to start submitting some stuff. | 01:32 |
| georgeowell | ah yes | 01:33 |
| georgeowell | thats it | 01:33 |
| georgeowell | two of them are the same bug | 01:33 |
| georgeowell | Oh cool, Launchpad is actually pretty good. | 01:35 |
| georgeowell | Someone has submitted a patch but it hasn't been pushed out | 01:39 |
| micahg | which bug? | 01:39 |
| georgeowell | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcryptui/+bug/1394582 | 01:39 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1394582 in libcryptui (Ubuntu) "patch - fix logic flaw, make seahorse-tool's encrypt command work" [High,Confirmed] | 01:39 |
| georgeowell | Is it awaiting review? I can't really make it out. | 01:42 |
| micahg | hrm, it seems like it was never fixed if it was actually an issue | 01:44 |
| micahg | it does look like there is a logic flaw, but I'm not sure that's the correct solution | 01:46 |
| georgeowell | Would that usually be because not many people are using it? Its a shame if it the patch exists. I mean obviously you can't say for sure :) | 01:48 |
| micahg | idk, one of the Ubuntu GNOME devs might be better able to help, it's also been forwarded to Debian, so #debian-gnome on OFTC might be able to help with the Debian bug and evaluate if it's correct or not or maybe forward it upstream if appropriate | 01:53 |
| micahg | my bugzilla fu is a little out of practive | 01:53 |
| micahg | *practice | 01:53 |
| georgeowell | I'll give it a go | 01:58 |
| georgeowell | Its fascinating learning how this system works as a newcomer | 01:59 |
| georgeowell | Thanks for your help | 02:04 |
| micahg | you're welcome, good luck | 02:04 |
| darkxst | Noskcaj, yeh uploaded gnome-backgrounds, and also squeezed in the gnome-shell update that appeared this morning ;) | 07:32 |
| darkxst | ricotz, ok, I left the -g1 i386 only, since the symbols for amd64 can be useful on the retracer at times | 07:33 |
| Noskcaj | :) | 07:36 |
| darkxst | georgeowell, patch like the logic fix in that bug, really should be filed upstream! | 07:37 |
| darkxst | georgeowell, ie at bugzilla.gnome.org | 07:44 |
| darkxst | georgeowell, and looking at the code, that patch is not correct | 07:56 |
| darkxst | its clearly breaking the api:@symmetric: Variable in which to store if symmetric encryption is requested. | 07:57 |
| darkxst | * Set to NULL to disable symmetric encryption. | 07:57 |
| darkxst | I think the real logic error is in seahorse-nautilus | 08:03 |
| taharqa | hi folks , do you know where in gnome-shell I disable the behaviour that raise bottom message bar when mouse touch bottom screen edge ? | 09:13 |
| darkxst | taharqa, you can't unless there is an extension for that | 09:14 |
| darkxst | btw message bar is gone in 3.16 | 09:14 |
| taharqa | darkxst: I saw somewhere this can be customized | 09:17 |
| taharqa | darkxst: like triggered by a key combination | 09:18 |
| mgedmin | there's a key combination _and_ mouse pressure-based activation | 09:18 |
| darkxst | and I don't believe you can disable the mouse activation | 09:18 |
| mgedmin | it's not touching the bottom row, it's actively pushing against the bottom that's needed to activate the message tray | 09:19 |
| mgedmin | (unless you're on an old X server version that didn't support pointer barriers) | 09:19 |
| mgedmin | (or an old gnome-shell version that didn't use them) | 09:19 |
| taharqa | I'm using ubuntu gnome 14.04 | 09:19 |
| mgedmin | that has what, gnome 3.8? | 09:20 |
| taharqa | let me check this | 09:20 |
| darkxst | mgedmin, 3.10 I think | 09:20 |
| mgedmin | oh right | 09:20 |
| taharqa | 3.10.4 | 09:20 |
| darkxst | I would think 14.04 has the pressure barriers | 09:23 |
| taharqa | darkxst: mgedmin : found this https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/616/insensitive-message-tray/ | 09:35 |
| taharqa | and it works as expected ^^ | 09:36 |
| mgedmin | excellent! | 09:36 |
| taharqa | The "There's an extension for that" syndrom ^^ | 09:36 |
| taharqa | just a 30 line js file | 09:37 |
| dz0ny | anyone noticing this gnome-session-c[10730]: segfault at 0 ip 00007fb9917fb51f sp 00007fffe2c8f3d8 error 4 in libc-2.21.so[7fb991765000+1c0000] | 14:35 |
| dz0ny | with latest build from staging? | 14:35 |
