[10:19] <wardster> hey guys anybody gpt a min to answer a question?
[10:19] <wardster> im just looking at running unity 8 on my laptop.. which sistro is best to test on 16.04 or 16.10
[10:20] <wardster> *distro
[10:30] <Saviq> wardster, they are mostly equal, provided you add the "overlay" ppa on 16.04
[10:30] <Saviq> wardster, see http://mhall119.com/2016/05/dogfooding-unity-8/
[10:30] <wardster> thats the one i followed that did work but a update has killed my application scope app so cant run any apps now! so not sure what i need to do - reinstall?!
[10:39] <Saviq> wardster, there was a temporary issue yesterday related to a Qt upgrade
[10:39] <Saviq> wardster, do you have "unity-scope-click" installed?
[10:40] <wardster> thats what ill need how do i reinstall that and it will be working again ! :)
[10:40] <wardster> thankyou :)
[10:40] <Saviq> wardster, please install that, also run `gsettings reset com.canonical.Unity.Dash favorite-scopes` in case your list of favourites got mangled
[10:41] <Saviq> you can check what the value is with `gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Dash favorite-scopes`
[10:41] <Saviq> "scope://clickscope" should be the first one
[10:44] <wardster> what command do i use to reinstall or install unity-scope-click
[10:46] <Saviq> wardster, sudo apt install unity-scope-click
[10:49] <wardster> thank you :)
[10:50] <wardster> ill get this done when i get back, its funny im getting so used to using unity 8 as my main desktop now !! :)
[10:55] <wardster> ive tried on a clean install but cant install unity 8 becuase cant install address book app and unity-scope-click - is this the QT problem that blocks installing unity 8
[10:57] <Saviq> wardster, it should be gone now
[10:57] <Saviq> (the problem, I mean)
[10:58] <wardster> there is still a problem ive added the ppa to 16.04 and tried to install but cant install as it needs addres-book-app etc
[10:58] <Saviq> when did you try?
[10:58] <Saviq> anyway, I'll try right now, will verify that unity8-desktop-session is installable on a xenial machine
[10:58] <wardster> one  minute ago
[10:59] <wardster> on 16.04
[11:00] <Saviq> wardster, it might be upgrading when it was wrong got you in a bad state
[11:01] <Saviq> let me write down a few steps that will hopefully help

[13:25] <mterry> cimi: is silo 78 open for newly approved branches?
[13:26] <cimi> mterry, yesss
[13:26] <cimi> i'll add both branches
[13:28] <mterry> the default-wallpaper and infographic ones?  Cool.  The default wallpaper has two more required (approved) non-unity8 branches and one more semi-related (approved) non-unity8 branch that I'd like to stick in there with it.  Let me know when you're done editing and I can add them
[13:28] <mterry> cimi: ^
[13:35] <cimi> mterry, I added those unity8 branches
[13:36] <mterry> thanks!
[13:36] <cimi> mterry, I can add the two deps
[13:36] <cimi> mterry, shall they live in the same silo?
[13:38] <mterry> cimi: added em.  Yeah, they are companion branches to default-wallpaper
[13:38] <mterry> Updating the boot screen and system settings to handle new wallpaper

[20:04] <mterry> josharenson: heyo, are you looking for something to review by any chance?
[20:05] <josharenson> mterry: I claimed your greeter branch earlier
[20:05] <josharenson> mterry: working on it now, my wifi has been spotty and it wasn't cloning
[20:05] <mterry> josharenson: oh the greeter-arrangement one?  very cool, thanks
[20:05] <josharenson> mterry: anything else I should take a look at though?
[20:06] <mterry> josharenson: I have another up and coming branch that causes some crash with lightdm but I'm digging into it.  But the code won't change much (crash is probably on lightdm side)
[20:06] <mterry> josharenson: https://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/unity8/session-lightdm/+merge/300072
[20:06] <mterry> This is well suited for you since you may be the only other person that understands our plugin layout with lightdm
[20:06] <josharenson> mterry: ack
[20:06] <mterry> there's a silo for it, let me add that to the desc
[20:10] <mterry> josharenson: thanks  :)
[20:56] <mterry> josharenson: you said you were looking at greeter-arrangement?  I'm going to do some tweaking to it as I finish testing on different tablet layouts (I don't have a tablet, so I haven't done much testing there yet).  Code won't change that much I hope, but just heads up.  Might be worth waiting a tad
[20:56] <josharenson> mterry: ok, I've only gone over it briefly/syntactically so far so no worries
[20:57] <mterry> cool
[20:57] <josharenson> mterry: I'll work on the other one
