darkxsteliasps, you done any C programming?00:49
eliaspsdarkxst Yes, I have.00:50
darkxsteliasps, ok got a fairly simple bug for to work on then if you want00:50
eliaspsOk, good! I wanted to get involved with this. I'll work on it tomorrow morning first thing because it;s 3 am here. What is it?00:51
darkxstvino part of bug 151881300:51
ubot5bug 1518813 in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) "sharing panel fails to properly launch required daemons" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/151881300:51
eliaspsOk, bookmarked :)!00:52
darkxstvino-server needs to be patch to ignore the gsettings "enabled" key at startup when running under GNOME00:52
darkxstyou can get the current DE with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP00:53
eliaspsIt's GNOME, on xenial, so it's ok.00:54
darkxsteliasps, I mean you can check it from the C code, and then ignore the gsetting and just run server anyway00:55
darkxstsession = g_getenv ("XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP");00:56
darkxstif (session && strstr (session, "GNOME"))00:56
eliaspsOh, got it! Thanks. I'll ping you when I have something, because I might need some guidance on uploading the patch..00:57
darkxstsimple patches can be done with quilt new00:58
darkxstbut generally I just use git, then export to quilt00:58
eliaspsI'll use git as well at first then.00:59

freakyyno on xenial01:28
darkxstfreakyy, what do you want to know? just ask if you have questions01:29
LinDolah... okay01:29
freakyyi was jsut curious if theres any must have app or something01:29
darkxstwell we include app (what we believe) are must have apps in the default install01:29
darkxstanything else becomes, personal preference really01:29
freakyyok01:30
freakyyare u from the dev team?01:30
darkxstfreakyy, there is also lots of info on the wiki, but mostly aimed towards contributing to the project01:30
darkxsthead dev01:31
freakyyoh ok nice ;D01:31
freakyyi like ubuntu-gnome01:31
freakyybut im really new to it so01:31
freakyyi cant say much01:31
freakyymay i tell u waht i dont like?01:31
darkxstsure01:31
freakyyi dont like the title bar of windows beeing so big and wasting space somehow ... first u have the taskbar then the title bar ... and the title bar is even extra big01:32
freakyythats the only thing i dont like so far01:32
darkxstwindow titlebar or headerbar (the ones with buttons etc)01:33
darkxstthere are probably themes that can make the window titlebar smaller01:33
darkxstthe inconsistency of apps using titlebar vs headerbar is annoying, but can't do anything about that01:34
freakyyyes i need to ahve a look01:34
darkxstI have old school 4:3 monitors, so the height issue doesnt really bother me01:35
freakyyis this a theme i could use http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/zonColor+Themes+Pack?content=15618901:40
freakyy? i mean its said to be for unity too01:40
freakyyand its from 2013?01:42
darkxstfreakyy, it would need to specifically support GTK 3.1601:42
freakyyoh ok01:42
freakyyhm, i cant find a good theme01:52
darkxstnumix is quite popular01:52
freakyyok lemme check01:53
darkxstdon't know if it resizes titlebars though01:54
freakyyno it doesnt resize title bars02:04
freakyyalso firefox has a titlebar i dont think it should have one ... everywhere else the title bar was removed from firefox so itlooks like google chrome02:07
freakyybut yea i can live with it02:07
freakyymaybe one day it will get fixed ;D02:07
freakyybtw, is there any other popular theme?02:07
LinDolhttp://gnome-look.org/02:09
LinDolhaha This is supported to you for modifying themes :)02:10
darkxstfirefox still uses gtk2 on linux, so it will always have a titlebar02:10
darkxstone did when its ported to gtk3, it can be made to look like windows/chrome etc02:11
darkxst^one day02:11
darkxsthttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/htitle/02:12
darkxstno idea if that still works though02:12
freakyynah i dont wnna customize too much02:13
freakyyi will keep it like it is now02:13
LinDoloh02:14
LinDoldarkxst, This extension will be hide THE titlebar that filefox has?02:15
darkxstLinDol, only when maximised and its old, don't know if it has been maintained for recent versions02:15
darkxstfreakyy, try epiphany browser then ;)02:16
LinDoldarkxst, thank you for your suggestion :) I will try to put this extextion ;-)02:17
freakyydarkxst: no id like to stay with firefox02:19
freakyyit has all my stuff synced through windows and linux02:19

darkxst_thats probably less of a problem these days since we just backprort most packages after release09:34
darkxst_during development though its a minefield09:36
darkxst_that will start soon for xenial/staging09:36
freakyylk i added both repos and created an unisntall-upgrade.txt file where i collect the repos i need to purge09:40
