| darkxst | robert_ancell, I can drop the gnome-control-center.real wrapper from g-c-c? its not actually seeded on Ubuntu anyway | 02:37 |
|---|---|---|
| robert_ancell | darkxst, I think so? | 02:44 |
| robert_ancell | If it's not seeded it surely isn't in use anymore | 02:45 |
| darkxst | I suppose it mainly was part of the transition, and if there are still apps calling "gnome-control-center" from Unity they would already be failing | 02:46 |
| robert_ancell | exactly | 03:00 |
| robert_ancell | darkxst, how is 16.04 going for you guys? | 03:03 |
| darkxst | robert_ancell, Mostly good, its running really well, but beta1 was a nightmare, hopefully final beta is smoother! | 03:09 |
| robert_ancell | :/ | 03:09 |
| robert_ancell | darkxst, is GNOME Software seem like an improvement? | 03:10 |
| darkxst | I always tended to avoid USC anyway, but Software certainly fits in with our UI better! | 03:12 |
| robert_ancell | nice | 03:13 |
| darkxst | its still only showing installed apps though? | 03:13 |
| robert_ancell | darkxst, that should be fixed | 03:14 |
| robert_ancell | Fixing lots of small issues at the moment | 03:14 |
| darkxst | and I do wonder about the whole "restart & install" thing, that will annoy people | 03:14 |
| robert_ancell | darkxst, I think we plan on disabling that | 03:18 |
| darkxst | and just use update-manager? | 03:19 |
| robert_ancell | darkxst, yeah. You can update individual apps from gnome-software but for full updates just use update manager | 03:20 |
| darkxst | that what I would have expected, though currently you will get notified by both for updates? | 03:22 |
| QuadraQ | Anyone around to help? | 03:38 |

| Mia | I just downloaded the lastest ubuntu-gnome and installed it | 06:25 |
| Mia | but the gnome version on it seems a bit out of date | 06:25 |
| Mia | how can I update it to the latest gnome? | 06:25 |
| Mia | (properly) | 06:25 |
| darkxst | Mia, what version of ubuntu-gnome? | 07:05 |
| darkxst | 16.04 daily has the latest (stable) GNOME | 07:05 |
| Mia | oh | 07:08 |
| Mia | how can I download 16.04 then? | 07:08 |
| Mia | I have ubuntu-gnome 15.10 | 07:08 |
| Mia | cc darkxst | 07:09 |
| darkxst | cdimage.ubuntu.com | 07:10 |
| darkxst | its still in Beta atm, but pretty stable | 07:10 |
| Mia | okay that's good to hear | 07:10 |
| Mia | thank you! | 07:10 |
| darkxst | the other option is to install gnome3-staging ppa, but at this point that is likely buggier than 16.04 beta | 07:11 |
| Mia | I did install it but it messed up the whole os | 07:11 |
| Mia | a lot of missing UI parts | 07:11 |
| darkxst | well no it certainly shouldnt be that buggy! | 07:11 |
| Mia | hmm | 07:12 |
| Mia | http://news.softpedia.com/news/ubuntu-gnome-15-10-to-launch-to-gnome-3-16-how-to-upgrade-to-gnome-3-18-494377.shtml | 07:12 |
| Mia | darkxst, this is what I did on a brand new installation to virtualbox | 07:12 |
| Mia | and it has a lot of missing parts | 07:12 |
| Mia | I also tried installing gnome myself on ubuntu server | 07:13 |
| Mia | but I also couldn't make it | 07:13 |
| Mia | it was just black screen when I turned on the machine | 07:13 |
| darkxst | virtualbox graphics drivers are crap | 07:14 |
| Mia | what should I use | 07:14 |
| darkxst | vmware player is the best if you want 3D accelleration | 07:17 |
| darkxst | otherwise qemu/kvm work quite well | 07:18 |
| jback | Although that might not be the easiest locally | 07:26 |
| jback | That said, what does gnome boxes use? | 07:26 |
| Mia | I2ve installed 16.04 now, and looks like none of the animations are there any more? | 08:00 |
| Mia | should I be configuring something specific to enable UI animations ? | 08:00 |
| Mia | everything's so instant, no fade in fade outs | 08:00 |
| Mia | nothing | 08:00 |
| jback | what virtualization are you using? | 08:24 |
| darkxst | jback, boxes uses qemu | 08:31 |
| darkxst | via libvirt | 08:31 |
| darkxst | which works quite slow, but can be slow since it uses software rendering for the graphics | 08:31 |
| darkxst | ^"which works quite well" | 08:31 |
| darkxst | Mia, probably its using software rendering, so animations have been disabled | 08:32 |
| Mia | darkxst, how can I enable hardware rendering | 08:33 |
| Mia | becuae it works in earlier ubuntu-gnomes | 08:33 |
| Mia | I just installed 16.04 and it's not there | 08:33 |
| darkxst | in virtualbox? | 08:33 |
| Mia | yes | 08:33 |
| darkxst | what is your host system? | 08:34 |
| darkxst | you may need to install vbox guest drivers that match your host vbox, rather than using the included one | 08:35 |
| darkxst | and you may also need to enable 3D in the host UI (not sure if its set by default, I gave up on virtualbox years ago) | 08:36 |
| Mia | darkxst, my host is a 256gb ram i7 system, quite a beast with 4 gpu's -- | 08:36 |
| Mia | I enabled 3d accel in vbox settings and increased the mem to max | 08:36 |
| darkxst | Mia, I meant OS/Version | 08:37 |
| Mia | I mean I was using the exact settings in 15.10 ubuntu-gnome and it2s working fine --- os is win 8.1 | 08:37 |
| darkxst | try re-installing the virtualbox guest and see if that will override the included kernel driver | 08:38 |
| darkxst | or just try Vmware player | 08:38 |
| darkxst | it really is much better (And free for personal use) | 08:39 |
