EriC^^oh04:45
EriC^^i'm more of a nintendo guy04:46
daftykinsthose guys have a new console coming too!04:46
EriC^^i grew up playing golden eye, fox64, mario, stuff like that04:46
lotuspsychjeall consoles had cool games04:46

EriC^^lotuspsychje: yesterday i tried putting the 42" in the living room04:48
lotuspsychjeoh?04:48
EriC^^it wasn't all that bad, you can still pass on both sides04:48
lotuspsychjegreat!04:48
EriC^^yeah i was pretty bummed, i cant stand the 32" i feel like punching it sometimes04:48
lotuspsychjefull screen smplayer working nice?04:48
EriC^^should have gotten a 40" 108004:48
daftykinsall the peas! all the inches!04:49
lotuspsychjei got a 27" HP lcd for my desktop04:49
lotuspsychjefull screen movies does the trick for me04:50
EriC^^32" feels like you're watching a micro tv from a distance a little04:50
EriC^^like you're looking into something04:50
EriC^^42" is like in your face watching something04:50
lotuspsychjedepends how far you sit of course04:50
EriC^^32" i feel like saying hi little guy how are you doing?04:51
EriC^^then maybe smack it with a baseball bat and put it out of its misery04:51
EriC^^lol04:51
daftykins:)04:51
lotuspsychjelol04:51
daftykinsd'aww poor little TV, gift it to someone in need :P04:51
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: yeah man, sell it again, buy your wish04:52
EriC^^i really like the plasma though04:52
lotuspsychjedont you have a second hand website in lebanon?04:52
EriC^^there is but i dont think it'll sell for much04:52
daftykinsi always found an idle buzz and too high power consumption in plasma04:52
EriC^^i got it for like $24004:52
daftykinsold tech getting killed off now too04:52
EriC^^it'll sell maybe $100 i guess04:52
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: screen wash, pût in original box and ask 20004:53
lotuspsychjehow old is it?04:53
lotuspsychjemonths?04:53
EriC^^not worth it really, dunno what to do with it though, for the saloon i want to eventually maybe get a 55" , i can maybe put it on the closed balcony04:53
EriC^^yeah04:53
lotuspsychjeso there's still 2 years warranty, for someones kitchen04:54
EriC^^daftykins: yeah it feels hot, yesterday it even made the living room kind of warm04:54
daftykinshehe04:54
EriC^^but i love how there's a glass at the front of the screen04:54
daftykinsi've a 55 in my lounge04:54
EriC^^the 32" feels so cheap and odd04:55
EriC^^it's like plastic and very matte colored04:55
EriC^^the plasma feels more like an old fashioned tv somehow, and the picture feels more vibrant and warm at the same time04:55
lotuspsychjeor...get real angry in the store and say you got wrongly informed lol04:56
lotuspsychjeand ask another tv04:56
EriC^^lol04:56
lotuspsychjeyou said 32 was going big!04:56
lotuspsychjei need a 55!!04:56
EriC^^if i knew someone who worked there probably could get a sweet deal04:56
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: there's a dutch online store with a takeover formula for phones also04:57
EriC^^55 is sick04:57
lotuspsychjeEriC^^: send back your 'older' smartphone and get a voucher for a new buy04:58
EriC^^i used a meter to see how big it would be04:58
EriC^^crazy04:58
EriC^^daftykins: it is a 55" 1080 samsung?04:58
daftykinsyep, 2012 model04:58
daftykinsUE55ES680004:58
EriC^^sweet04:58
lotuspsychjei got UE8000 40" also from older year (1600$)04:59
lotuspsychjebut the blurays playing flawless04:59
lotuspsychjewith this mediaplayer: http://www.mede8er.eu/en/05:00
lotuspsychjeplays all codecs and formats05:00
lotuspsychjeup to 2TB hd you can place inside05:01
daftykinsi remember the 8000 was the 2013 model with voice control and all the gimmicky stuff05:01
lotuspsychjei got only 3D and smarttv05:02
lotuspsychjebut the smarttv feels old05:02
lotuspsychjenewer models are faster, better05:02
EriC^^wow the amount of games exclusive to either ps4 or xbox one are massive05:02
EriC^^i thought it was just gran turismo for ps4 and a couple games for xbox05:02
EriC^^ps4 seems to have more exclusive games though05:03
EriC^^not sure of quality of them though05:03
EriC^^http://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/PS4_Games_vs_Xbox_One_Games05:03
lotuspsychjei never liked xbox myself05:03
lotuspsychjeps4 or steambox05:04
EriC^^i only played it once05:04
EriC^^the new controller i saw looked a little like the sega dreamcast's controller a little also a little nintendo64-ish05:04
EriC^^i have a good idea05:05
EriC^^i'll go to the store that has those dvd's i was talking about yesterday05:06
EriC^^i remember they had a bunch of games too, i think xbox 36005:06
EriC^^if they have games for xbox one i'll get an xbox one05:06
EriC^^fuck gran turismo i'll get the gran turismo 6 for the ps3 if i want to play gran turismo style car05:07
lotuspsychje:p05:07
EriC^^we should sell games online05:08
EriC^^buy them from there for $5 or something05:08
EriC^^then rip them and upload them for a price05:08
EriC^^or make sketchy international orders05:08
EriC^^"used games for sale"05:08
EriC^^make a website for movies05:09
EriC^^the movienight.ws site got like 1mil for deadpool views05:09
EriC^^that's $2000-$3000 in ad revenue05:09
lotuspsychjethats gonna cost you copyrights05:10
EriC^^probably can put it on a local server here with some corporate line, i'll actually manually rip the dvd's05:10
EriC^^and nobody would care cause this is lebanon05:10
lotuspsychjerisky idea :p05:11
EriC^^when i was like 14 i got the sega dreamcast05:11
EriC^^cause i heard you could rip games for it from online05:11
lotuspsychjealot of online services want this to happen, that users pay for recent movies/series05:12
EriC^^after like a dozen failed cd's it finally worked05:12
EriC^^i started selling them at highschool05:12
EriC^^made a shit ton of $$05:12
lotuspsychjelets use the other chan05:12
EriC^^well not a shit ton, but good for a 14 yr old05:12

lotuspsychjestill stable for now..05:39
brushdemonwait, so what happens if the discover gets a response? It still loops?06:03
lotuspsychjeafter network-manager restart it just connects and stops looping06:05
brushdemonoh, I see06:05
brushdemonlotuspsychje: try setting your ipv6 to link local06:10
lotuspsychjei did06:10
brushdemonhmmm06:11
lotuspsychjenow waiting for it to happen again06:11
lotuspsychjeworking now06:11
brushdemonah I see, you actually get a link-local address assigned then it 'withdraws' it for "reason 'none'"06:12
lotuspsychjenot sure why it does it06:12
lotuspsychjeits not every boot neither06:12
brushdemonwell, layer 1 seems to be fine if you can get it working at all, l2 is probably okay since the driver is working and your NIC seems to work06:13
brushdemonthat's an interesting bug06:14
brushdemonlotuspsychje: have you tried disabling ipv6 completely?06:15
brushdemonunless you need to use ipv6 ofc06:15
lotuspsychjebrushdemon: yes, its set to ignore now06:15
daftykinsjust the other day i tore out some notes i had on how to disable the ipv6 module, from when it was separate and not in the kernel :)06:16
daftykins8.04!06:16
brushdemonhmmm, I'm honestly more concerned that it doesn't just fail after a few retries06:16
brushdemonold time :p06:17
brushdemon8.04 was my very first clash with anything not windows06:17
brushdemonI'm not 100% sure on how ubuntu does it but I know that the ipv6 module in the kernel is well... a module06:17
brushdemonso you can technically blacklist it06:17
brushdemonI haven't took a look at the .config for the ubuntu kernel in a while06:18
lotuspsychjethis isnt normal behaviour, devs should fix this by default06:18
brushdemonlotuspsychje: I'm aware, it should fail and not infinitely loop06:19
daftykinsmy ISP seems to have no plans to implement v606:19
Ben64my isp can't get a patch out to fix ipv6 on my modem06:20
brushdemonouch06:20
Ben64comcast released the patch october 201506:20
Ben64:(06:20
daftykinsbut you don't want to use it, or?06:23
brushdemonlotuspsychje: I would honestly go to say that it's the dhcp implementation that's messing up here based on the logs. I'm not a dev though so we can see if I was right or not once they get around to it :)06:25
lotuspsychjebrushdemon: ipv6 ignore fixxed this for now...lets see the next days if it occurs again06:25
brushdemonwell, it's an okay work around06:26
daftykinslotuspsychje: does your ISP use v6?06:26
daftykinsi tend to fully disable it on my Windows hosts since there's no reason to bother06:27
brushdemonI wonder if it's possible that it's failing with v6 due to one of v6's auto-allocation methods06:27
daftykinswell you'd think that wouldn't be possible to fail06:27
daftykinslink local v6 should surely just assign an address itself and be done06:27
brushdemonyou also have stuff like slaac06:27
lotuspsychjedaftykins: no06:28
lotuspsychjedont need ipv6 myself06:28
brushdemonbut you are right, there should be priority with slaac and dhcp on the client side06:29
brushdemonthis really shouldn't be an issue at all06:29
lotuspsychjetrue06:31
de-factoMorning Guys :)06:32
lotuspsychjehi de-facto06:33
* daftykins stands to attention06:36
de-factojust found out t-mobile probably is the only mobile ISP in germany which gives you a public ip where you can open ports when you choose the correct APN (internet.t-d1.de) for auth. Also it seems both vodafone and o2 employees are astonishingly incompetent, they dont even know what a IP address is, leave alone NAT or ports :P06:38
lotuspsychjeoO06:38
lotuspsychjeok breakfast guys06:40
lotuspsychjehave a nice one!06:40
de-factoenjoy :)06:40
lotuspsychjetnx06:40
brushdemonbut NAT is extremely old now by tech standards06:55
daftykinswell sure, they are there to sell and let people text and call - they're not network admins06:56
de-factothey all permit outgoing connections, but usually you get a private ip in their cellular networks (like 10.x.z.z) and are with another ip in the internet (like 80.a.b.c), hence they use NAT in their APNs and you cant open ports (e.g. for reaching the endpoint via ssh or such).06:59
Ben64my cell phone gives me a real ipv4 and a real ipv607:01
Ben64ooh maybe not07:02
Ben64looks real, but isnt07:02
de-factosome give you just a private ip behind a nat (O2), some a transparent public IP without NAT (I read vodafone with cda.vodafone.de), but block ports, others give you a public IP and let you open arbitrary ports (like internet.t-d1.de)07:02
de-factothat is in germany07:02
Ben64ipv6 is real07:02
Ben64ipv4 the phone has is 100.x.x.x, but when i go to my server, server sees 70.x.x.x07:02
Ben64can't traceroute the 100.x, it goes in circles07:03
de-factocan you reach a service on it (like ssh helper) when you open a port on your phone with that public ip from another computer (like your desktop )?07:03
Ben64NetName:        SHARED-ADDRESS-SPACE-RFCTBD-IANA-RESERVED07:03
Ben64ah, it's a small reserved section i didn't know about07:04
Ben64NetRange:       100.64.0.0 - 100.127.255.25507:04
Ben64de-facto: if i put it on ipv6 i bet it would work07:04
daftykins"my ip" in google also handily gives you your internet facing IP07:04
Ben64i have a server that is easier and lighter than that :D07:05
Ben64http://ben64.com/ip.php07:05
de-factoyeah no need for NAT with v6, but still i guess the ISPs dont want you to open ports and such, for whatever reason07:05
daftykinsah har07:05
daftykinswonder if there's a non-PHP way07:06
Ben64whats wrong with php07:06
daftykinsnothing, just in case it's not on a given host is all07:06
de-factowebrtc with stun server?07:08
Ben64* Ace0 has quit (Killed (Sigyn (Spam is off topic on freenode.)))07:08

Ben64??07:13
Ben64<?php echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>07:14
daftykinsXD07:14
daftykinsone liner > essay07:15
de-factohalf js with webrtc (to get private ip in wlan/lan), half php to reflect public ip and headers07:15
daftykinswell the former is actually rude07:15
de-factoalso you probably can use nginx with echo module or such if you dont want php07:16
de-factodaftykins why rude?07:19
daftykinsthey call them private IPs for a reason (:07:20
de-factoyeah, but its just displayed client side, so no leak (well except for the sdp request done in background)07:23
daftykinsi wasn't looking at that code specifically07:25
rillehI can't seem to get iTerm2 shell integrations to work in Ubuntu08:12
daftykinsthat sounds a bit like a support question08:12

crocodilehunterhi there. who would like to discuss the state of ZFS?11:27
=== JanC is now known as Guest23785
=== JanC_ is now known as JanC
BluesKajHey folks11:29
crocodilehunterhi11:30
daftykinsnot me!11:30
crocodilehunteri have spent all day trying to boot ubuntu 16.04 off ZFS root...11:31
daftykinssuch storage is better as solely storage, with an OS outside of it11:31
daftykinseasier to fault find from and so on11:32
crocodilehunteryes. there has definitely been a learning curve..11:33
crocodilehunterthe way people were talking about 16.04, i thought it was going to be an option in ubiquity11:36
crocodilehunteri'll just have to use it as a seperate storage for LXD...11:36
lotuspsychjecrocodilehunter: talk to ducasse11:37
ducassezfs on root is a nightmare right now.11:37
crocodilehunterwhat do people on this channel usually discuss? any dev stuff?11:37
lotuspsychjecrocodilehunter: ubuntu stuff11:37
crocodilehunteris ZFS on the ubuntu roadmap for full integration?11:38
daftykinsi thought the license hassle would prevent that ever being a thing11:39
daftykinsyou should move distro if you want that11:39
crocodilehunterdo you think that we would be at a disadvantage not supporting a feature like ZFS?11:40
daftykinsZFS is niche11:40
OerHekscrocodilehunter, what guid did you follow?11:40
OerHekshttps://github.com/zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs/wiki/HOWTO-install-Ubuntu-16.04-to-a-Native-ZFS-Root-Filesystem11:40
crocodilehuntermove distros??11:41
crocodilehunteri tried all the guides including the one linked.. i guess it's not that important to boot of a ZFS /, but I was hoping to learn a repeatable method so i could contribute to documenting it...11:43
daftykinsas i said, run a standard root and make a storage volume ZFS to tinker11:43
crocodilehunteri wouldn't move distros, i am a stakeholder in ubuntu just like you. what im trying to highlight is that storage is a pretty big component of an OS, and there's no denying that ZFS  is unrivalled when it comes to storage....11:46
crocodilehunteryes, i guess i will have to.11:47
daftykinsstakeholder sounds like a financial connection :P11:48
BluesKajor a serious dependency11:48
daftykinsi think it's only justified based on your specific setup11:48
daftykinsZFS isn't for everybody11:49
crocodilehunternot stake doesn't mean financial, i guess 'vested interest' would be a more appropiate term...11:49
daftykinsyeah11:50
* BluesKaj has no desire to fooll with fringe filesystems just because theyre exotic and promise faster speeds etc11:50
ducassezfs isn't really 'fringe'.11:51
BluesKajto me it is :-)11:51
crocodilehunteri guess ZFS isnt for everybody, but i just thought withZFS being suggested to be used with LXD, that there would be more official docs...11:51
daftykinssorry but to claim otherwise you can't be considering home users in that11:51
crocodilehunteri would rather use zfs for /home than btrfs...11:52
ducassecrocodilehunter: second that, usage with lxd is poorly documented.11:52
Ben64i'd rather use ext411:52
crocodilehunterconsidering i dont talk to much people these days i plan to hang out on irc more, and i happen to be an ubuntu user...11:54
lotuspsychjeless hunt the crocodiles :p11:54
BluesKajcrocodilehunter:  what's so fascinating about zfs, anyway ..just curious11:55
Ben64it's got a z in it11:56
crocodilehunterit just happens to be what i've been working on. but i was hoping to learn myself so i could contribute to the docs....11:56
lotuspsychje!contribute11:57
crocodilehunterlicensing aside, its more about LXD, than ZFS. i think LXD is a killer app that will put ubuntu even further in front....11:59
daftykinsi'm not even aware what that is just by the letters :>11:59
BluesKajoh the container thing11:59
crocodilehunterbut like i said, im surprised because alot of the official ubuntu PR mentioned  native ZFS support and i thought there would of been more resources on it...12:00
crocodilehunteram i on the wrong channel? i want to contribute to ubuntu. is there another channel where they talk about projects and such?12:02
daftykins!channels12:02
daftykinshrmm.12:02
daftykinsthere's a list of the channels on the website12:03
daftykinsi think the wiki could use some work everywhere :)12:03
crocodilehunteri'm concurrently on 5 ubuntu channels, but this channel is the only active one....12:03
daftykinswell #ubuntu is the main support one, #ubuntu-server for server support... and so on12:04
crocodilehunteri want to get involved..12:04
daftykinsthose are the more active ones12:04
crocodilehunterthanks..12:05
crocodilehunteractually, i used to use centos, i tried to get involved on the forums, but i didnt find them to friendly..12:06
daftykinsno idea on a more specific one though, it's not really the kind of thing i've tried to look for before12:06
crocodilehunter"i have a dream".... to contribute to linux...12:07
daftykinsif the bot were working there'd be factoids i could trigger12:08
daftykinsnot quite sure what's up with that12:08
BluesKajcrocodilehunter: perhaps #ubuntu-devel might be right for you12:11
crocodilehunteri was just about to type that in... im a bit apprehensive about bothering them.. oh well, worth a shot12:12
BluesKajwell, if you want to get wet , the best way is to dive in , if it's too deep you'll find out soon enough :-)12:14

TJ-Unity is quickly pissing me off! It has no concept of maintaining user input focus in the correct control13:48
BluesKajunityand gnome pissed me off a long time ago :-)13:55
TJ-I'm only using it because for 16.04 it has the only desktop that can correctly adjust pixel pitch on a high-DPI screen13:58
BluesKajoh fancy, afraid my TV/monitor is only 1920x1080 capable, but it still looks quite good14:05
JanCTJ-: what do you mean with the user input focus?14:48
TJ-JanC: where a user-initiated action results in either 1) the launched application window being behind the 'current' window (example: using firefox, then go to System icon  > System Settings ... or Bluetooth icon  > Bluetooth settings...) or 2) using Thunderbird + Enigmail, have an encrypted email selected in the mail list, go to the Enigmail menu > Decrypt/Verify, Passphrase dialog opens on-top with15:17
TJ-highlighted focus in input text box, cursor flashing, but typing goes nowhere until actually interacting with the dialog with the pointer15:17
TJ-I'd say (1) happens about 75% of the time and (2) 100%15:17
JanC(1) happens when you click (or somehow otherwise focus) the current window after launching the other application15:19
TJ-that's what is supposed to happen, but I'm seeing the launched GUI appear in the launcher but behind everything else, without having moved the pointer or 'accidentally' pressed mouse buttons15:25
TJ-It seems to happen in fits and spurts, as in it will be fine then there'll be a period where it does it constantly, no matter what I launch. The only commonality is the applications are started from the iconic taskbar top-right15:26
de-factoyeah "fake focus" is quite annoying15:29
de-factohappens in gnome shell too15:30
TJ-so likely caused by the underlying Gnome then?15:30
de-factogood question, idk15:31
TJ-it's damned annoying when doing decryption and hitting the keys to type the secret passphrase and it goes someplace else; it could accidentally be delivered to chat for example, although I've never seen any process actual consume the typing - that's the other annoying part about it - does it just disappear, or is it being directed to another process15:32
de-factoit may depend on how you loose focus mabye?15:32
TJ-with the passphrase every visual indication is the dialog, and its text box, has got focus.. the I-beam cursor is flashing, the border is highlighted orange15:33
de-factodoes it depend on where the real focus acutally sits? like another window or say unity somewhere?15:34
TJ-I don't think so, as in Thunderbird main window has focus, it's menu is stolen by Unity into the top bar, I click on Enigmail, sub-menu shows, I click on Decrypt/Verify, the passphrase dialog appears15:35
TJ-the common thread is unity menu/taskbar is involved15:36
de-factoi dont have thunderbird installed currently, so cant verify that on gnome shell15:36
de-factofor me it happens on firefox and chromium15:38
de-factoboth arent quite native gtk apps i guess they implement their own way of focus somehow15:39
TJ-Yes, I've seen it there too but I probably don't have a workflow that provokes it so reliably15:39
TJ-and debugging GUI event/focus loops is not the easiest of jobs at the best of times so I'm gritting my teether, swearing, and getting on with fixing other bugs :)15:39
de-factoboth move away from being native and implementing more and more their own ways i guess. same might apply to libre office maybe15:40
de-factobut thats just wild guesses15:41
de-factomaybe you can script a reliable way to reproduce with xdotool, but that might be overkill15:42
TJ-once I find time to figure out why the high-DPI scaling isn't working well in XFCE or LXDE I'll switch to one of those.15:44
TJ-I work at the CLI in tmux mostly, so apart from web access, I can do everything else in a terminal15:45
de-factoonce i got used to gnome shell it became quite convenient for me, plus i like the extensions idea15:46
de-factothere are even some extensions for tiling support in gnome shell15:47
de-factoshellshape15:47
TJ-aha! just found another example! Using firefox and noticed an email notification in the taskbar, click on the mail icon that shows a sub-menu with 2 'folders' listed with new mail... click on one, the Thunderbird icon in the launcher 'wiggles' but doesn't come to the front15:48
de-factomaybe because the notification is not a "real window"? not sure...15:50

JanCTJ-: your (2) I didn't address because I don't use Thunderbird, but that _might_ be a Enigmail bug (e.g. setting focus to the dialog instead instead of to the entry box)16:21
JanCor some other Xul bug16:22
JanCone possibility is also that some of the focus stealing prevention is too aggressive16:26
lotuspsychjewb16:43
lotuspsychjeyou can smell when im online? telepathy? or i need a shower?16:44
TJ-JanC: the indicatations for the passphrase dialog is the text-box *has* the focus, as I said. Orange border, I-beam cursor blinking in it16:47
lotuspsychjebbl pizzatime!!16:48
JanCright, but that *could* be a/the bug also16:48
JanCit would be interesting to figure out where the actual focus is  :)16:49
TJ-Enigmail doesn't have control of *how* the focus point is indicated16:49
JanCTJ-: it has to some degree16:49
TJ-yes, I'd rather like to know that too :)16:49
JanCactually, applications can quite easily pretend to have focus when they don't  ;-)16:50
TJ-JanC: no, in GUIs you can do component.focus() to tell the toolkit to give it focus, the toolkit paints the indications and draws the input cursor if appropriate. If gnome is doing something else it's very broken16:50
TJ-I think it's the same issue as (1) but as the passphrase dialog is modal it is forced to be in front of everything else16:51
JanCTJ-: you can change the theme, you can create your own widgets for whatever reason, etc.16:51
TJ-it's as if the menu that launches it keeps the input focus. Maybe it captures it and doesn't release it appropriately, or releases too late. I know there are other event timing related issues in Unity so it wouldn't surprise me16:53
JanCand contrary to what you think, it's not always the toolkit painting that indication (and in case of Xul-based applications, you have something that tries to emulate another toolkit, but sometimes fails to do so :) )16:54
TJ-the well known Gnome Terminal minimize/maximize bug is due to event timing. I've seen the same thing using non XUL applications. I thought it was me glitching when I was using the System Settings applets just after installation, but I suspect that was the same lost-focus issue16:55
TJ-damned thing is so hard to capture debug data on, which makes it worse16:56
TJ-ahhh, and I recall something else that had this focus that isn't brought to the front issue - the on screen keyboard16:58
JanCthere is a GNOME terminal minimize/maximize bug?17:02
TJ-yes, it is very popular :D17:04
TJ-I think lotuspsyche and others first told me about it, I had assumed it was normal behaviour17:05
JanCI've never had any focus issues with it?17:05
JanCso please explain?  :)17:05
TJ-no, it's an event timing bug. Start the terminal, change its size to be appreciably smaller than the screen. Maximize it. Now restore it17:06
JanChm, never had any issues with that17:06
JanCwhich is possible with timing-related bugs, of course17:07

TJ-there's another bug affecting the greeter where it resizes the greeter unexpectedly17:11

ubot5bug 1571640 in unity-greeter (Ubuntu) "lightdm changing resolution" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/157164017:13
nicomachusdidn't realize until he started looking for cputemp modules and couldn't find the directory they were supposed to be in. but I don't think he ever fixed it17:14
TJ-nicomachus: had the user done a purge of the kernel packages then?17:14
TJ-all modules are at /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/17:15
TJ-linux-image-<version> installs /boot/vmlinuz-<version> and modules to /lib/modules/<version>/17:15
TJ-so the system was booted and then the running kernel's packages were removed17:16
JanCTJ-: I wonder where those gnome terminal windows are located on the screen & how big they are for the people who see that...17:16
nicomachusTJ-: he had upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04. :/17:18
TJ-JanC: can be anywhere, but always restores to a size a few pixels less than maximum17:22
JanCTJ-: so based on Marco's explanation, there actually is a bug in gnome-terminal and/or in Gtk3 ?17:22
TJ-Yes17:22
TJ-It happens 100% of the time for me; as I said, I assumed it was an annoying but intentional 'feature' since I've not used Unity in years17:23
JanCI've never seen that bug17:23
JanCI wonder if some Compiz/Unity settings make it better or worse17:23
TJ-Did you fresh install or upgrade? Maybe there's an inherited config value that prevents it. Mine was a fresh install from ISO17:24
JanCthis was a fresh install17:24
JanCalthough I did move some config back (but no Compiz stuff, I think)17:25
JanCOTOH, I did change some settings right away...17:26
TJ-I've not touched anything except setting the Display scaling factor to 1.15 or so, since this thing has a 2560x1440 11" LCD17:33
TJ-Maybe it would trigger in a guest session?17:33
naccsometimes i wish people would realize that doing something outside of a distribution's control implies you are supporting yourself...18:22

TJ-1/2 or more of support issues are due to that :D18:25
naccit's a fool's hope, i know -- but a distribution is just that, a bundle of stuff that is supposed to go together18:25
naccTJ-: 100% ack :)18:25
