[15:49] <Guest48239> Hello all!
[15:50] <Guest48239> I have a question about a weird menu I get at the bottom of my Ubuntu 15.10 screen
[15:50] <Guest48239> everytime a program starts, it adds an icon to this menu (I never saw it before I ugpraded)
[15:50] <Guest48239> it has little left and right arrows to open and close it
[15:51] <JohnnyComeL8ly> This isn't the Ubuntu channel.
[15:51] <JohnnyComeL8ly> Ubuntu GNOME is different. (Better, imo.)
[15:52] <JohnnyComeL8ly> Guest48239: ^^^
[15:59] <Guest48239> I am running Ubuntu GNOME
[15:59] <Guest48239> fuck unity!
[16:04] <Guest48239> So, back to my question...
[16:04] <Guest48239> I have a small grey menue with icons of ostensibly (some) of my running programs
[16:04] <Guest48239> it shows hexchat but not Terminal or Firefox
[16:04] <Guest48239> how do I extirpate this dumb menu?
[16:13] <Guest48239> I 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?
[16:18] <Guest48239> does anyone even know what menue I am talking about or what its called?
[16:51] <Guest48239> I 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?
[16:57] <JohnnyComeL8ly> Guest48239, try right clicking on it.
[16:58] <JohnnyComeL8ly> The menu, not the icons.
[16:59] <JohnnyComeL8ly> Guest48239, honestly I don't know what menu you've gotten to appear down at the bottom of the screen.
[16:59] <JohnnyComeL8ly> And please watch what you say.
[17:01] <Guest48239> does zero
[17:01] <Guest48239> what is the name of the menu or program generating it?
[17:01] <Guest48239> what is the menue called?
[17:01] <Guest48239> It is a gray menue with icons of some of the programs I am running
[17:02] <Guest48239> it is not a menue in the classical textual sense, it pops from left to right coming from the left and has only icons on it
[17:02] <Guest48239> when I move my cursor near it a small right arrow appears
[17:02] <Guest48239> when I click the arrow the menu pops out to the right
[17:04] <JohnnyComeL8ly> Wait, do you access it from the top left corner?
[17:04] <JohnnyComeL8ly> If so, that is supposed to be there.
[17:05] <Guest48239> bottom left
[17:06] <Guest48239> someone else told me its called the message tray?
[17:06] <JohnnyComeL8ly> Lemme switch OSs I'm in Xubuntu right now.
[17:14] <Guest48239> ok, thanks!
[17:23] <Guest48239> welcome back
[17:23] <JohnnyComeL8ly> Thanks.
[17:23] <Guest48239> I started hexchat, and then I see that dumb menue down there or message tray or whatever it is
[17:24] <Guest48239> I 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 screen
[17:24] <Guest48239> I am fine to remove it entirely actually
[17:25] <JohnnyComeL8ly> I'm doing a qemu boot of Ubuntu GNOME... I was going to do a regulare boot, but I decided to just stay here. ;-)
[17:27] <JohnnyComeL8ly> I think it might not work... :-(
[17:27] <Guest48239> oh
[17:28] <Guest48239> I use vmware usually for virtualized stuff usually.
[17:28] <JohnnyComeL8ly> It 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.
[17:29] <Guest48239> I am using Ubuntu GNOME 15.10
[17:31] <JohnnyComeL8ly> I forgot to say, that I'm using Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 (development version of course).
[17:31] <JohnnyComeL8ly> I was using Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 dev until it got released.
[17:31] <JohnnyComeL8ly> Then I "upgraded" to Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 dev
[17:32] <JohnnyComeL8ly> Guest48239, Just give me a few minutes, I've got a disk burning right now...
[17:32] <Guest48239> oh...
[17:33] <JohnnyComeL8ly> Sorry. it is progressing quickly though.
[17:35] <JohnnyComeL8ly> Guest48239, do you know how to switch your Nick?
[17:36] <JohnnyComeL8ly> You could do something a little more personal than "Guest48239".
[17:40] <JohnnyComeL8ly> Guest48239, 82% done
[17:47] <cap0> Guest48239: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/967/hide-legacy-tray/
[18:48] <Guest48239> I am checking the extension now
[18:49] <Guest48239> That thing moves it, what tool must I use to remove it entirely?
[19:09] <Guest48239> That thing moves it, what tool must I use to remove it entirely?
[19:09]  * Guest48239 That thing moves it, what tool must I use to remove it entirely?
[19:11] <Guest48239> I need to reboot
[19:11] <Guest48239> be right back
[21:29] <johnjohn101> when will 16.04 be on gnome 3.18?
[21:29] <johnjohn101> in the daily
[21:40] <darkxst> johnjohn101, it is getting there, maybe 80% done
[21:41] <johnjohn101> darkxst: thanks. i'm enjoying 15.10 now.  seems to do well on vmware player except for an occasional xorg exception
[21:42] <darkxst> johnjohn101, fwiw vmware needs a workaround to run on a 15.10+ host atm
[21:43] <johnjohn101> will it be easier to port once unity moves to qt?
[21:44] <darkxst> slightly easier
