Guest48239Hello all!15:49
Guest48239I have a question about a weird menu I get at the bottom of my Ubuntu 15.10 screen15:50
Guest48239everytime a program starts, it adds an icon to this menu (I never saw it before I ugpraded)15:50
Guest48239it has little left and right arrows to open and close it15:50
JohnnyComeL8lyThis isn't the Ubuntu channel.15:51
JohnnyComeL8lyUbuntu GNOME is different. (Better, imo.)15:51
JohnnyComeL8lyGuest48239: ^^^15:52
Guest48239I am running Ubuntu GNOME15:59
Guest48239fuck unity!15:59
Guest48239So, back to my question...16:04
Guest48239I have a small grey menue with icons of ostensibly (some) of my running programs16:04
Guest48239it shows hexchat but not Terminal or Firefox16:04
Guest48239how do I extirpate this dumb menu?16:04
Guest48239I am running Ubuntu GNOME, I have a small grey menue with icons of some of my running programs (not all, Hexchat is there, Firefox and Terminal are not for example). I wish to extirpate this menue entirely from displaying. Does anyone have an idea of how I might do so?16:13
Guest48239does anyone even know what menue I am talking about or what its called?16:18

JohnnyComeL8lyGuest48239, try right clicking on it.16:57
JohnnyComeL8lyThe menu, not the icons.16:58
JohnnyComeL8lyGuest48239, honestly I don't know what menu you've gotten to appear down at the bottom of the screen.16:59
JohnnyComeL8lyAnd please watch what you say.16:59
Guest48239does zero17:01
Guest48239what is the name of the menu or program generating it?17:01
Guest48239what is the menue called?17:01
Guest48239It is a gray menue with icons of some of the programs I am running17:01
Guest48239it is not a menue in the classical textual sense, it pops from left to right coming from the left and has only icons on it17:02
Guest48239when I move my cursor near it a small right arrow appears17:02
Guest48239when I click the arrow the menu pops out to the right17:02
JohnnyComeL8lyWait, do you access it from the top left corner?17:04
JohnnyComeL8lyIf so, that is supposed to be there.17:04

Guest48239bottom left17:05
Guest48239someone else told me its called the message tray?17:06
JohnnyComeL8lyLemme switch OSs I'm in Xubuntu right now.17:06
Guest48239ok, thanks!17:14
Guest48239welcome back17:23
JohnnyComeL8lyThanks.17:23
Guest48239I started hexchat, and then I see that dumb menue down there or message tray or whatever it is17:23
Guest48239I want to get rid of it entirely or move it so it doesn't overwrite the first part of the prompt when I am using gnome-terminal and am at the bottom line of the screen17:24
Guest48239I am fine to remove it entirely actually17:24
JohnnyComeL8lyI'm doing a qemu boot of Ubuntu GNOME... I was going to do a regulare boot, but I decided to just stay here. ;-)17:25
JohnnyComeL8lyI think it might not work... :-(17:27
Guest48239oh17:27
Guest48239I use vmware usually for virtualized stuff usually.17:28
JohnnyComeL8lyIt wasn't working, I'm just going to switch. I've done a test for easy2boot using it, but I'm not sure why it isn't working for this.17:28
Guest48239I am using Ubuntu GNOME 15.1017:29
JohnnyComeL8lyI forgot to say, that I'm using Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 (development version of course).17:31
JohnnyComeL8lyI was using Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 dev until it got released.17:31
JohnnyComeL8lyThen I "upgraded" to Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 dev17:31
JohnnyComeL8lyGuest48239, Just give me a few minutes, I've got a disk burning right now...17:32
Guest48239oh...17:32
JohnnyComeL8lySorry. it is progressing quickly though.17:33
JohnnyComeL8lyGuest48239, do you know how to switch your Nick?17:35
JohnnyComeL8lyYou could do something a little more personal than "Guest48239".17:36

johnjohn101when will 16.04 be on gnome 3.18?21:29
johnjohn101in the daily21:29
darkxstjohnjohn101, it is getting there, maybe 80% done21:40
johnjohn101darkxst: thanks. i'm enjoying 15.10 now.  seems to do well on vmware player except for an occasional xorg exception21:41
darkxstjohnjohn101, fwiw vmware needs a workaround to run on a 15.10+ host atm21:42
johnjohn101will it be easier to port once unity moves to qt?21:43
darkxstslightly easier21:44
