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

[17:22] <jamie_1> im updating to gnome 3.24, anything i should specifically watch out for?
[17:22] <jamie_1> any major bugs or blockers
[17:35] <MichaelTunnell> probably heard by now but holy crap . . .
[17:35] <MichaelTunnell> holy crap!

[17:45] <MichaelTunnell>  this article essentially says "Unity8 and Mir are done" and Ubuntu 18.04 is switching to GNOME and Wayland
[17:49] <OerHeks> MichaelTunnell, join #ubuntu-discuss too.
[18:03] <MichaelTunnell> thanks
[18:08] <JockeTF> Congratulations, great work, and thank you?! :)
[18:18] <laserbeak4445> So I guess Ubuntu GNOME 17.10 will be the last release since vanilla Ubuntu 18.04 LTS will switch back to GNOME?
[18:21] <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."
[18:28] <laserbeak4445> MichaelTunnell: Good point.
[18:30] <laserbeak4445> I hope this will be clarify soon...
[19:25] <ricotz> jbicha, I guess things will get easier
[19:28] <jbicha> it could benefit Kubuntu too as they were forced to use the qt version unity8 was targetting
[19:29] <ricotz> jbicha, yeah, I had qt5 in mind too and the consequences for it
[19:30] <ricotz> this is not the end of unity7 though?
[19:33] <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
[19:36] <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 ...
[19:37] <ricotz> still things like metacity are needed and will be
[19:38] <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
[19:40] <jbicha> and if Ubuntu switches to gnome-shell, based on how things used to work, Canonical would want to customize it
[19:41] <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!
[19:43] <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
[19:45] <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 :)
[20:21] <Menzador> darkxst: Congrats!
[20:22] <Menzador> We will finally be heard! :)
[22:49] <InventorTechie> https://insights.ubuntu.com/2017/04/05/growing-ubuntu-for-cloud-and-iot-rather-than-phone-and-convergence/
[22:49] <InventorTechie>  Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is to ship with GNOME as default?
[22:51] <InventorTechie> This is a pretty big blow to the Ubuntu-Gnome project yea?
[22:51] <OerHeks> No, just a stirr-up
