| nanodrone | what's flatpakrepo? | 08:31 |
|---|---|---|
| fleetfox | repository for flatpak? | 08:59 |
| nanodrone | okay sorry ignore that question i asked it at #flatpak later :) | 09:01 |
| nanodrone | how do i stop gnome search from searching online? | 09:12 |
| JockeTF | I don't think it searches online by default. Or do you mean the "search the web" option when there are no results? | 09:22 |
| nanodrone | JockeTF, it was the software (app store) searches, i disabled them by default | 09:30 |

| jamie_1 | im updating to gnome 3.24, anything i should specifically watch out for? | 17:22 |
| jamie_1 | any major bugs or blockers | 17:22 |
| MichaelTunnell | probably heard by now but holy crap . . . | 17:35 |
| MichaelTunnell | holy crap! | 17:35 |
| MichaelTunnell | https://insights.ubuntu.com/2017/04/05/growing-ubuntu-for-cloud-and-iot-rather-than-phone-and-convergence/ | 17:35 |
| MichaelTunnell | this article essentially says "Unity8 and Mir are done" and Ubuntu 18.04 is switching to GNOME and Wayland | 17:45 |
| OerHeks | MichaelTunnell, join #ubuntu-discuss too. | 17:49 |
| MichaelTunnell | thanks | 18:03 |
| JockeTF | Congratulations, great work, and thank you?! :) | 18:08 |
| laserbeak4445 | So I guess Ubuntu GNOME 17.10 will be the last release since vanilla Ubuntu 18.04 LTS will switch back to GNOME? | 18:18 |
| MichaelTunnell | laserbeak4445: technically maybe not | 18:21 |
| MichaelTunnell | in a different irc channel someone said something VERY interesting. "The language of that post isn't entirely unambiguous. It could be that he means we're going back to GNOME-based Unity, not vanilla GNOME." | 18:21 |
| laserbeak4445 | MichaelTunnell: Good point. | 18:28 |
| laserbeak4445 | I hope this will be clarify soon... | 18:30 |
| ricotz | jbicha, I guess things will get easier | 19:25 |
| jbicha | it could benefit Kubuntu too as they were forced to use the qt version unity8 was targetting | 19:28 |
| ricotz | jbicha, yeah, I had qt5 in mind too and the consequences for it | 19:29 |
| ricotz | this is not the end of unity7 though? | 19:30 |
| jbicha | sabdfl's blog post was ambiguous about that | 19:33 |
| jbicha | a lot of people are convinced that unity7 will no longer be developed by Canonical | 19:33 |
| ricotz | I assume this doesnt concern compiz/unity7 immediately | 19:36 |
| jbicha | I think that's the #1 question :) | 19:36 |
| ricotz | although since they are not wayland-compatible ... | 19:36 |
| ricotz | still things like metacity are needed and will be | 19:37 |
| jbicha | if Ubuntu's default will be gnome-shell, then compiz/unity7 would become community-supported | 19:38 |
| ricotz | right and bamf | 19:38 |
| jbicha | and there's an opportunity for a Ubuntu Unity flavor, but I'm not sure whether there are enough developers to keep it running | 19:38 |
| jbicha | and if Ubuntu switches to gnome-shell, based on how things used to work, Canonical would want to customize it | 19:40 |
| ricotz | quite unfortunate to drop this news so late in the cycle with all the mir patching in gtk and mesa | 19:41 |
| jbicha | you're looking at it backwards :) | 19:41 |
| jbicha | it was announced at the start of the next cycle! | 19:41 |
| ricotz | hmm, correct ;) | 19:43 |
| jbicha | there's just enough time for them to pull unity8 from the default install if they wanted, but not time to really do much else | 19:43 |
| jbicha | I'm told that unity8 is better on 17.04 than 16.10 so it wouldn't be wrong IMO for 17.04 to still have unity8 available | 19:45 |
| ricotz | better wait for more facts if they come, instead of speculating :) | 19:45 |
| Menzador | darkxst: Congrats! | 20:21 |
| Menzador | We will finally be heard! :) | 20:22 |

| InventorTechie | Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is to ship with GNOME as default? | 22:49 |
| InventorTechie | This is a pretty big blow to the Ubuntu-Gnome project yea? | 22:51 |
| OerHeks | No, just a stirr-up | 22:51 |
