PlainDaveI've found that Mate somewhat bogs my slow computer down a bit, as opposed to Ubuntu with Unity/Gnome. Otherwise, I love Ubuntu w/ Mate.00:32

alkisgflexiondotorg: Hi, can I go ahead and commit the fix to this bug that I reported, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-mate-settings/+bug/157771508:56
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1577715 in ubuntu-mate-settings (Ubuntu) "ubuntu-mate.gschema.override should begin with a "nn_" number" [Undecided,Confirmed]08:56
alkisg...directly in https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mate-dev/ubuntu-mate/ubuntu-mate-settings ?08:56
alkisgWould you prefer a merge request instead?08:56
flexiondotorgalkisg Not yet.08:57
flexiondotorgThe issue really need fixing in Debian and the plan is to do that after Debian 9 is released.08:57
alkisgflexiondotorg: there are 2 files affected; one is in debian, the other is in that bzr branch, ubuntu-specific08:58
alkisgAlso, we'll need an SRU for Xenial in any case, and that SRU schedule isn't related to the debian release cycle...08:58
alkisgI can do the work involved; I just don't want to step on any toes, so if you just mention how you would like me to do things, I'll do them that way08:59
flexiondotorgIf we number the override in ubuntu-mate-default-settings it will be overridden by the file from Debian.09:00
alkisgWe can set a priority from dh_installgsettings09:00
alkisgAnd the file from debian will be in the SRU09:00
flexiondotorgalkisg OK, if you preper a merge proposal that would be great :-)09:00
alkisgSo that one will have the correct priority as well09:00
alkisgflexiondotorg: cool, so, for ubuntu-specific things I'll file merge requests on launchpad, and the related SRUs for debian things. Now for the debian packaging fixes, so that they're fixed in stretch, would you like me to file them in bugs.debian.org, or maybe send a merge request there too?09:02
alkisgWhere is that packaging maintained, in anonscm?09:02
flexiondotorgalkisg The maintainer in Debian is sunweaver.09:03
alkisgCool, I'll ping him, thanks,09:03
flexiondotorgalkisg Thanks for helping.09:03
alkisgI'll be spending the next couple of months filing bugs / sending patches etc for mate, so it'll be best to do it in the most effective way :)09:04
alkisgnp; thank you for your awesome work too09:04
alkisgflexiondotorg: by the way, the debian packaging provides a specific ubuntu-mate.gschema.override for ubuntu, why do we additionally have an mate-ubuntu.gschema.override?09:05
alkisgCan't we just tell sunweaver to merge it to his debian packaging?09:06
flexiondotorgalkisg Before my time, so can't say why there is mate-ubuntu.gschema.override.09:43
flexiondotorgBut I don't want to merge the overrides for Ubuntu into the Debian packaging.09:43
flexiondotorgAll Ubuntu branding/settings I want to maintain in Ubuntu where is can be updated at will.09:44
flexiondotorgAnd not requiring sponsorship in Debian.09:44
alkisgflexiondotorg: the ubuntu packaging is already in debian09:49
alkisgflexiondotorg: if you want to remove that, then I should file a different bug report09:49
alkisgNow you have ubuntu packaging in both debian and in ubuntu09:49
alkisgWhat I'm saying is, there's no reason to have it in 2 places09:49
flexiondotorgWell, there is.09:51
alkisgIf you want the ubuntu settings to be in the debian packaging, you need to merge ubuntu-mate.gschema.override into mate-ubuntu.gschema.override09:51
flexiondotorgThe overrides in Debian give you somewhat sane default for MATE when it is installed on Ubuntu.09:51
alkisgIf you want the ubuntu settings to be in the ubuntu packaging, you need to merge mate-ubuntu.gschema.override into ubuntu-mate.gschema.override09:51
alkisgflexiondotorg: the debian packaging has an "if"09:51
flexiondotorgThe are MATE defaults, not Ubuntu MATE defaults.09:51
alkisgIf installing on debian, use the debian file09:51
alkisgIf installing on ubuntu, use the ubuntu file09:51
alkisgThey have a different file there just for us09:52
flexiondotorgI do not wish to maintain the Ubuntu MATE branding/settings in Debian :-)09:52
alkisgflexiondotorg: but currently you do09:52
alkisgThat's what I'm saying09:52
alkisgI don't know who wrote debian/rules that way09:53
alkisgBut they wrote it so that the ubuntu maintainer would maintain the ubuntu settings in the debian package09:53
flexiondotorgIndeed.09:53
flexiondotorgBut I do not want to do that.09:53
alkisgRight, so we have to file a bug report in debian to change that,09:53
flexiondotorgAnd I think that capability was added by the previous maintainers.09:54
alkisgto tell them to delete all ubuntu references in debian/rules, and copy them to our ubuntu-mate packaging09:54
flexiondotorgalkisg Hold up a sec.09:54
flexiondotorgLet me explains.09:54
alkisg(we're doing the same thing in LTSP, so I know how this goes...)09:54
flexiondotorgmate-ubuntu.gschema.override has a purpose.09:54
flexiondotorgThose people install MATE, not Ubuntu MATE, on Ubuntu will get somewhat sane default for MATE.09:55
alkisgOf course. But what is the purpose of ubuntu-mate.gschema?09:55
flexiondotorgFor example installing mate-desktop-environment-core on Xubuntu.09:55
alkisgWait, are you saying that installing mate on xubuntu will give me different defaults from ubuntu-mate?09:56
flexiondotorgThe purpose of ubuntu-mate.gschema.override is to provide the Ubuntu MATE branding and settings, specifically for Ubuntu MATE.09:56
alkisgWhy would that be the case?09:56
flexiondotorgalkisg I depends how you install MATE.09:56
flexiondotorgThe Ubuntu MATE meta packages (created from seeds are) ubuntu-mate-core and ubuntu-mate-desktop.09:56
flexiondotorgThose do not install mate-desktop-environment-core09:57
flexiondotorgI do not want mate-desktop-environment-core in Ubuntu MATE.09:57
flexiondotorgUbuntu MATE is not a "pure" MATE implementation. It is augmented.09:58
alkisgubuntu-mate-default-settings: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ubuntu-mate.gschema.override09:58
alkisgmate-desktop-environment-core: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/mate-ubuntu.gschema.override09:58
flexiondotorgYes.09:58
alkisgWhich of those 2 are in ubuntu-mate and which of those in xubuntu with mate?09:59
alkisgI have both of them, in ubuntu-mate09:59
flexiondotorgalkisg It depends.09:59
flexiondotorgIf you install mate-desktop-environment-core on Xubuntu then only /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/mate-ubuntu.gschema.override is present.09:59
flexiondotorgIf you install ubuntu-mate-core then both are present, but ubuntu-mate-default-settings overrides mate-desktop-environment-core.10:00
flexiondotorgBecause alphanumerically is comes later.10:01
alkisgmate-ubuntu.gschema.override only has 16 lines, while ubuntu-mate.gschema.override has 17310:01
alkisgSo in the first case, xubuntu wouldn't really have the appropriate mate settings10:01
flexiondotorgSo, my concern with use nn_ prefixed (which I understand is the correct convention) is that the Ubuntu MATE overrides get overridden by the those shipped in the Debian packaging.10:02
alkisgIt sounds strange to me, but if that's an actual use case, ok10:02
flexiondotorgalkisg MATE would have the correct settings on Xubuntu because MATE ships defaults.10:02
alkisgBoth should be renamed, with 10_ in front10:02
flexiondotorgI agree, but should be renamed for nn_ prefixes.10:02
alkisgI still haven't understood what is the use case to only have mate-ubuntu.gschema.override installed, but anyway,10:03
flexiondotorgBut the Debian change has to land first otherwise the Ubuntu MATE settings will be overridden where the same keys are set in both.10:03
alkisgso if they both are renamed properly, then there's no reason for concern, correct?10:03
alkisgRight10:03
flexiondotorgCorrect.10:03
alkisgSo, the debian change will need to go to zesty first, because of the debian freeze,10:03
alkisgthen, SRU'ed to 16.04,10:04
alkisgand finally the ubuntu change can land10:04
alkisgSounds like a plan?10:04
flexiondotorgIn order to SRU, both packages need updating in 16.04.10:04
alkisgDo you mean in 17.04 there?10:04
alkisgSRUs need to appear in zesty first, yes10:04
alkisgSo both of the fixes need to get applied to 17.04 first, and then both to be SRUed to 16.04, but the debian one need to be SRUed first (or, both of them together)10:05
alkisgflexiondotorg: OK, the two bug reports are ready to be committed to zesty:10:40

pulimhi all - running into very basic problem trying to install php 5.6 and phpmyadmin.15:35
pulimWhen I try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php15:36
pulimI get ERROR: '~git-core' user or team does not exist.15:37
pulimThen if I do :  ping -c3 us.archive.ubuntu.com15:38
pulimI get an error: unknown host us.archive.ubuntu.com15:38
ouroumovhi pulim15:53
ouroumovThis looks like two separate issues.15:53
ouroumovpulim, first do you have git installed?15:54

sachinHello guys, earlier today I installed xfce4 and gnome-desktop environment on my ubuntu mate 16.04, I removed those just now and my pop up notification is messed up. Any idea whats the issue?16:24
BurazenJust a quick question, what email client do you use?16:37
BurazenWhat integrates well with Ubuntu Mate for you?16:37
ouroumovBurazen, I don't know if it "integrates", but I use Thunderbird16:38
alkisgsachin: ideally, all desktop environments would properly cooperate with each other, in practise it's best to only have one of them installed16:46
alkisg(or, be ready to file bug reports for whatever issues arise16:46
sachinI know that... I logged in using mate and I saw I had xfce like notification pop up. Then I uninstalled both xfce and gnome, now struck with messed up pop ups.16:48
ouroumovsachin, does the "notify-send blabla" command does something?16:48
sachinyeah it does.. but not the way it used to. I cant even change position of pop-up or notification pop up theme.16:49
sachinI doubt it is remain of gnome..16:50
pulimhi ouroumov16:52
alkisgThere's notify-osd and notification-daemon, those two fight with each other on various flavors16:52
pulimit is two separate issues - it seems the first thing is to configure ubuntu so that it can reach outside websites.16:52
pulimunfortunately I did not set up the DNS, so I am waiting on some advise from IT people16:53
ouroumovpulim, DNS should be automatically configured if you're using DHCP, are you using static addressing?16:55
sachinI removed both notify-osd and notification-daemon16:56
pulimouroumov, yup - static16:59
ouroumovpulim, so for starters go to The Network Connection settings, select your ethernet connection, click "edit", go to IPv4 settings and add the google DNS servers 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 or whatever DNS server your ISP provides.17:04
sachinuninstalled notification-daemon and notify-osd and REbooted , problem solved.17:08
sachinthanks for help.17:09
Burazenouroumov i was thinking anything but the thunderbird, i forgot to say that. Im looking for suggestions.17:13
