jbicharobert_ancell: that's what it looks like, yes00:03
robert_ancellThe transitions in GNOME Shell are really clunky...00:14
TheMusoI've run GNOME shell on a fast box here before, and found it sluggish when using the keyboard so whilst not the same thing, I don't feel that GNOME shell is performant.00:15
TheMusoThat was with a GPU with free drivers too.00:15
robert_ancellTheMuso, it's not the performance more the timing and lack of transitions in various places00:16
robert_ancellThough it is a little laggy too00:16
TheMusoOk, well it certainly feels sluggish when moving through the shell menus compared to say a menu in a GTK app.00:16
robert_ancellAnd the triple bar at the top for maximized window (system + app + menubar) feels like going back to the dark ages.00:20
robert_ancellThe overview is much nicer than Unity though00:21
jbicharobert_ancell: I think that duplication isn't a problem for the "native" GNOME3 apps00:21
robert_ancelljbicha, it's certainly less of a problem, but still visual overload to me being used to the tidy way Unity does it00:22
robert_ancellI'm here for good now though, so I can only complain through bug reports and patches :)00:22
jbichathere was a desktop-devel discussion about menus earlier this month because the GNOME3 way still has a major discoverability problem00:24
robert_ancelljbicha, what's wrong with the GNOME3 discoverability of menus?00:24
robert_ancelloh, the appmenu?00:25
jbichayes, important stuff is in there, but you kind of have to be told that it is a menu!00:25
robert_ancellyeah, they're a bit useless IMO00:25
jbicharobert_ancell: ok, gdm3 started after I installed ubuntu-gnome-default-settings00:27
robert_ancelljbicha, aha00:27
robert_ancellThat lock screen shield... What is the logic behind that?00:29
robert_ancellI think I'll have to get involved in Polari development, would be nice to finally kick xchat00:33

jbichalock screen ?00:36
jbicharobert_ancell: bug 1686257 !01:19
ubot5bug 1686257 in gdm3 (Ubuntu Zesty) "gdm3 fails to start when default session-name=ubuntu" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/168625701:19
jbichathat was not what I expected to find at all01:20
jbichaI wonder if that would fix cyphermox's problem with gdm3 ^01:23
robert_ancelljbicha, when you lock the screen you have to slide up before seeing the login box01:51
robert_ancellI'd hoped that would be gone by now.01:51
jbicharobert_ancell: you can just start typing01:57
robert_ancellStill it's confusing and pointless..01:57
jbichaI believe it's the same way Windows 8+ does it, except that Windows isn't as good at the "just start typing" part01:58
jbichaI assume it's useful if you ever install GNOME on a tablet01:58
dufluYou don't need to "slide up" in Windows... tapping space bar does the same thing02:27
dufluand is a lot more convenient if you're about to enter a password02:28
jbichaduflu: you don't need to slide up with gdm either02:32
dufluThat's good. I would expect everyone to produce a login screen that's keyboard-navigatable (if that's even a word)02:33
jbichanavigable :)02:35
jbicharobert_ancell: did you see the updates on LP: #1632772 ?02:36
ubot5Launchpad bug 1632772 in unity8-desktop-session (Ubuntu Zesty) "Login option 'GNOME on Wayland' does not start from LightDM" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/163277202:36
dufluIf only the lexicon was more navigable02:36
robert_ancelljbicha, I didn't read it in detail02:36
jbichait's Unity8's fault that GNOME on Wayland broke :|02:36
dufluI noticed when Gnome on Wayland finally started we're missing shadows and corner-decoraation transparency. Is there a bug for that?02:41
dufluI don't know the right Gnome packages to pick on...02:41
jbichaduflu: what theme are you using?02:43
robert_ancellduflu, it's the Ambience theming, use gnome-tweak-tool to reset it all to the defaults.02:44
duflujbicha: The default on a zesty installation. Yeah sounds like Ambiance isn't Gnome-Shell-ready02:45
jbichaduflu: set the GTK+ theme and icon theme to Adwaita, if LP: #1685272 doesn't describe that issue, please file a new bug02:48
ubot5Launchpad bug 1685272 in light-themes (Ubuntu Artful) "gnome-shell: no window border" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/168527202:48
dufluThanks. I don't need it to look nice right now. Just want to know that Ambiance will get fixed soon enough02:51
jbichait might not get fixed if the bugs aren't filed02:53
jbichano one's really maintaining light-themes right now02:53
duflujbicha, rest assured there are enough of us in the world who care about Ubuntu's appearance. It would get fixed soon enough :)02:55
robert_ancellduflu, we're not sure if we'll continue Ambience or start a new theme that works better with GNOME02:56
dufluYeah, fairy nuff02:56
robert_ancellIt's one of the things on the list to solve02:56
duflurobert_ancell, I do very much want to see Ubuntu look better than Adwaita though... it's so clunky. Red Hat (and others) dropped the ball02:58
robert_ancellI'm not loving the font02:58
* robert_ancell makes a zesty VM02:59
robert_ancellWe really have to update ubuntu.com - it still says we're the leading operating system for phones...03:01
jbichait's probably a good idea for a theme to use Adwaita as a base (as long as you don't mind (L)GPL-2.1+)03:02
jbicharobert_ancell: do you have fonts-cantarell installed?03:02
robert_ancelljbicha, yep03:03
jbichaotherwise, I think it defaults to Sans or something03:03
robert_ancellCantarell is just not as well done as the Ubuntu for for legibility I think03:03
* duflu can almost hear cimi saying "it looks shit" from here03:03
jbichayou can patch it to use the Ubuntu font, look in gnome-shell's data/theme/03:06
Trevinhoxnox: in your upstart branch, I guess you might also remove the UpstartWrapper at all, as it won't be there, or should I do it?03:11

willcookerain is good for me right now.  I put some grass seed down where I'd removed some large bushes.  I couldn't be arsed to water it every day and the pidgeons ate it all.  Put some more down on Monday and now it's been raining things should start to happen08:21
chrisccoulsonwillcooke, hah, I had the same problem08:22
willcookeI've been following your garden antics on Twitter :)08:22
chrisccoulsonI had to reseed my lawn and then it was dry for about 3 weeks. I could do with a warmish, showery couple of weeks really08:22
willcookeI think it needs to be above about 5 or 6 for the seed to germinate, so should be warm enough, just08:23
chrisccoulsonI have had some germinate now, but it's very slow. And I'm going to have to reseed again, thanks to the pigeons08:24
Laneythere was a segement on reviving lawns on GW the other week08:26

dednickgood morning all.08:46
Laneyduflu: The theme problems are known.08:51
willcookemorning dednick, how goes?08:51
dufluLaney: Yeah. I know it's annoying having people pick on things this early in the cycle.08:51
LaneyIt's fine08:52
LaneyBut they have been reported already08:52
dufluCertainly, given a choice I prefer to work entirely in bug reports and not be in IRC :)08:52
seb128who mentioned theme issues?08:56
dednickwillcooke: it goes well thanks, and you?08:56
seb128it feels like I missed the start of that discussion08:57
dufluseb128: It's totally not important. Just a bug in the pile08:58
dufluAt least now I know it's not as important as it looked08:58
seb128k, well in any case we have a stack of theme issues filed in launchpad08:59
seb128so feel free to check that list and file some more as needed09:00
* duflu tries to resolve his previous comment with the need for it to be High09:01
xnoxTrevinho, i did not want to break any of UpstartWrapper stuff in case you are going to backport this back to e.g. xenial.09:01
xnoxTrevinho, but also I'm not sure if we want to include removal of the UpstartWrapper in this release.09:02
* xnox only did the minimal amount of work.09:02
xnoxTrevinho, bileto is complaining about new commits in https://code.launchpad.net/~muktupavels/compiz/gwd-hidpi/+merge/323100 now09:05
dednickanyone that recently started using gnome notice their screen dimming to be a bit wonky? randomly dimming a few seconds when I stop using kb/mouse. I have it turned off in power settings fyi.09:08
Trevinhoxnox: yeah, in fact I wanted to backport that... But I'd skip that commit anyway09:08
Trevinhoxnox: so.... we can probably just get rid of it, and it shouln't cause problems09:09
Trevinhoxnox: about that, yeah... the provate key issue is back, sil2100 is on it09:09
sil2100Yeah, it should be *temporarily* fixed once again, but the real fix is ready for deployment09:09
willcookeduflu, FWIW kenvandine started using the tag "gnome-17.10" : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bugs?field.tag=gnome-17.1009:10
sil2100Trevinho: I suppose you can try building the silo now anyway09:10

LaneyIt's ubuntu-themes.09:11
willcookehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-themes/+bugs?field.tag=gnome-17.1009:12
willcookeyeah, I think I bookmarked the wrong page09:12
seb128hey dednick09:12
seb128dednick, I didn't use GNOME much yet but didn't notice that issue ... is that under wayland or x11?09:13
dednickseb128: x1109:13
dednickseems to be about 10 seconds after not touching :/  freaking annoying!09:14
dufludednick: Sounds roughly like some repowerd bug(s)... and I suspect repowerd is going away with unity809:15
dufluStopping repowerd might solve it09:16
dufluAnd eventually dropping it, perhaps09:16
dednicklooks like it's because i was on battery power.09:16
dufluYes, separate policies... but I guess we also have multiple power daemons fighting for control now?09:17
dednickbut...09:17
dednickduflu: repowerd a service? don't have it running?09:18
dednickduflu: and that's under unity right? I'm on gnome.09:19
dufludednick: You sure? I'm not even logged in and it's running on my zesty09:19
dufluOh, right. It might be absent in an Ubuntu Gnome install but on regular zesty with gnome packages added then repowerd is present09:20
dednickhm. i apparently just started it.09:20
dednickwasn't running earlier09:20
dednicki had unity running before though; added gnome later.09:21
dufludednick: Yeah me too. But the point is each power daemon has its own timeouts and policies. Your screen dimming will be chaotic if you have multiple of them present09:21
dufluI'm assuming Gnome uses... something else09:22
dednickthink it uses upower...09:22
dednickGNOME power manager - whatever that is...09:23
seb128gnome-settings-daemon is doing the handling09:23
seb128like handling of timeouts, levels, configs, etc09:23
seb128upower is the service it uses09:23
dednickalthough dont seem to have gnome-power-manager either.09:24
dufluI think repowerd was a great idea, but it's now redundant and unmaintained, and will cause bugs if allowed to run09:24
seb128gnome-power-manager is only an UI nowadays09:24
seb128show you battery graph and such09:24
seb128but the user service is gnome-settings-daemon09:24
seb128yeah, upowerd shouldn't be used09:24
dednickseb128: don't seem to have gnome-settings-daemon runnig either :/09:26
dufluStill, I would bet Gnome Shell is not designed to use Unity8's repowerd09:27
dednicki'm on Ubuntu GNome - not sure if that makes a diff09:27
muktupavelsthere is no one gnome-settings-daemon, it is split in small programms gsd-*09:27
dednickmuktupavels: woomp there it is.09:28
dednickgsd-power09:28
dednickso not i'm definitely going to be getting fights happening with repowerd and gsd-power running. :)09:29
dednickand kill.09:29
seb128yeah, uninstall powerd and stop it, we should make sure it's not left installed/started on upgraded systems09:31
dednickand now when i remove by power cable it's not dimming. nothing like being inconsistent!!09:31
dednickprobably something getting screwed up when resuming from suspend.09:32
dufluIn the least, make sure you kill repowerd. At a guess it will not see any shell it knows and will assume the system is idle; hence dim the screen repeatedly09:32
dufluAlthough I'm assuming Alexandros did not add Gnome Shell support09:33
dufluPerhaps he did09:34
LaneyDoes it really do things when any old random shell is running?09:34
dufluProbably shouldn't, but it came from a world where we owned the whole system... (shrug)09:35
dufluAnd I know it was a pain when I ran my own random shell09:36
LaneyI've got it running on my Unity 7 systems09:37
LaneyDidn't notice any particular problems09:37
LaneyBut if it is causing them and we just didn't find out yet, that would be a fix to SRU09:38
dednickLaney: it working fine on U7 for me as well. Probably came from having both on Ubuntu Gnome.09:38
dednickalthough it didn't seem to be running at the time...09:39
Laneyoh well09:40
ahayzenHey, me and a few others have been having an issue under GNOME Shell where sometimes when pressing Alt+Left/Right Arrow will result in the TTY changing. The workaround found is to run `sudo kbd_mode -s` but I wanted to report a bug for the issue and was wondering if someone would be able to suggest a package ? Or should i just report against gnome-shell ?09:41
willcookeahayzen, is the alt-f4 switching vtys as well?09:42
ahayzenwillcooke, it was for p_opey :-) i can't remember if it did for me09:42
LaneyI've had that under Unity before09:43
dufluIs Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right the expected combo for that?09:43
* duflu is thinking Ctrl is stuck logically09:44
dednicki think that's for moving windows between workspaces09:44
ahayzeni think Ctrl+Alt+F1/F2 etc is the normal09:44
Laneyalt-arrows is supposed to do it if you are on a VT09:44
Laneybut not if you are inside your desktop09:44
* duflu tries and finds VTs are broken. Must be a Wednesday09:45

davmor2willcooke, seb128, Laney: fix number one http://paste.ubuntu.com/24459500/ software installer wouldn't install it, went with dpkg and that won't either because it is missing deps10:27
willcookeInteresting, so Chromes new native notifications use libappindicator10:28
willcookeneat10:28
willcookedavmor2, "software installer" = GNOME Software?10:29
willcookeif so, known and fixed, robert_ancell will do a new release this week10:29
davmor2willcooke: I assume so it just offered me the install in software installer option in firefox I assume it is gnome-software10:30
jbichadavmor2: instead of dpkg, I usually use 'sudo apt install ./path-to.deb' because it can install dependencies; some people use gdebi instead10:30
jbichaoSoMoN: why is the Chromium 59 build using use_gtk3=false ?10:31
davmor2jbicha: yeap I'm actually on the hunt for issues while setting up my daily use machine so I'm not actually after solutions just highlighting issues as I go10:31
Laneyyes, use apt, dpkg itself never installs dependencies10:32
Laneythat's not an issue10:32

Trevinhowillcooke: ok, neat... :-)10:34
davmor2issue number 2 hexchat has no menu, issue number 3 the quit option in the gnome menu only shows on screen 1 when hexchat is open on screen 2 so even if it had the menu there I would not be able to see it obviously on the screen where the app is10:34
TrevinhoYeah, I mean... I've already spent some unity time on that, so... I can put some efforts in that too10:34
oSoMoNjbicha, I dunno, that was disabled at the time of the Cr 53 release but the changelog doesn’t elaborate on that change10:37
oSoMoNI can try turning it on10:37
jbichaoSoMoN: I haven't look at the Cr59 source but my understanding was that gtk3 was going to be enabled by Google by default in like 59 or 6010:43
jbichaso I would just remove the use_gtk3=false line from d/rules and see what happens?10:43
jbichaI was just curious, since Cr is the last gtk2 app I have installed (although Firefox still depends on gtk2, I assume for Flash)10:45
oSoMoNjbicha, I’ll give it a go10:48
oSoMoNindeed: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/0ff8b19608421be5fa5b53e90c097e4992723b90%5E%21/#F010:52

davmor2seb128, Laney, jbicha: any ideas on why gnome would be using 212 MB of ram for gnome software when as far as I can tell it's closed?  I'm assuming the dash is keeping it open would that be a good guess?13:22
ogra_*werent there13:22
seb128jbicha, can do, at least for the first line, need to look at those exfat ones not sure if we want to maintain that stack13:22
seb128davmor2, it's acting as a service13:23
seb128so can notify you about firmware updates and such13:23
davmor2ouch13:23
jbichagnome-software is always running in the background, it helps it start up faster :|13:23
seb128was the same under unity13:24
davmor2so of the 5.5GB of memory being utilised currently gnome-shell is using just shy of 400MB claws is using 350 but is syncing a lot of mail, Chrome is using more than on unity but a similar enough amount to not worry about, gnome-software 221.9 MB now and evo calendar factory is using 120MB13:26
willcookeIt's snowing!13:40
willcooke..and stopped13:42
mitya57Can someone please top-approve my no-change MP https://code.launchpad.net/~mitya57/indicator-applet/libpanel-applet3/+merge/323131 so that Bileto allows me to publish it?14:12
mitya57seb128, can you please? ^^14:12
seb128mitya57, done14:12
mitya57thanks!14:13
davmor2willcooke: oh ffs and app you open that is linked to an indicator of some sort keeps that apps memory footprint open and slowly leaks memory so gnome-calander is now at 373.6 MB14:52
willcookewow14:52
davmor2willcooke: oh wait no, it was syncing again dropped of the face of the earth now...that was scary for a second14:54
willcookephew14:55
davmor2hmmmm gnome software at 225.3 MB and tracker-extract is at 224.6 MB14:56
davmor2meh wth why are there foldery type things for system tools and sundry that list more apps in the apps view of the dash15:23
davmor2why are there only 2 categories15:23
davmor2Laney, seb128: Okay I'm confused on this.  K3b shows in the dash and in gnome-software, krita however only shows in gnome-software why would that be?15:33
Laneynot sure15:36
davmor2I'm looking for others to see if there is anything common with them15:40
davmor2Laney: blender does it too15:41
Laneyare you talking about gnome-shell?15:41
Laneysnap or deb?15:41
davmor2I'm wondering if it is that the dash doesn't understand snaps and the snap is shown in the list first in gnome-software15:41
davmor2Laney: yeap I only have gnome now :)15:42
Laneyok, well I don't think it's called the dash in shell15:42
* kenvandine wonders what it is called :)15:42
Laneyand try installing the deb, then you have some information15:42
kenvandineactivities overview?15:42
davmor2Laney: people refer to it as the dash in gnome videos so that was my assumption15:43
LaneyI think the launcher is the dash and the dash is the overview, in which you search15:45
LaneyICBW though15:45
kenvandinethat could be15:45
kenvandinewe need a unity -> gnome-shell cheat sheet :)15:45
davmor2Laney: ah yes you are right they shoe the overview but discuss the dash which is the launcher15:45
davmor2man this is gonna get confusing15:46
Laneyanyway15:46
Laneywhat is in $XDG_DATA_DIRS for you?15:46
LaneyI think that should have something about snap15:46
davmor2I have the rocketchat-client snap installed and that shows up fine in the overview, but I think the fall over is when you don't have either snap or deb installed but both are available15:47
davmor2installed krita.deb and now it shows in the overview15:48
xnoxTrevinho, sometime on the upgrade to zesty or to artful, tap to click got disabled.15:48
davmor2be right back need to reboot for nvidia blob install15:49
xnoxUpgraded to the 2730 bileto ppa and amazon webapp came back again.... *grumble* do we not remember that people removed it, still?!15:49
xnoxotherwise things look and work good.15:49
xnoxTrevinho, can we release the ticket? =)15:49
Laneydavmor2 doesn't respond to questions15:51
davmor2and back15:54
Laneytry logging in under X instead of Wayland15:56
willcookexnox, re: Amazon web app - I don't think we did remove that.  I think it remained even after we turned off dash searches by default.16:02
willcookeI'm going through my emails to try and find a record of that decision now...16:03
davmor2Laney: so where the hell do you switch from one to the other?16:15
Laneythe cog at gdm16:16
davmor2Laney: nope I see Gnome and Gnome Classic no other options16:17
Laneynot GNOME on Wayland?16:17
davmor2Laney: I'll pick it up again tomorrow16:18
davmor2willcooke: I assume the logo will change to an ubuntu one and away from the Shazam look alikey one right :D16:18
Laneywell for the record I think the problem is XDG_DATA_DIRS not containing the snapd entry16:19
davmor2Laney: might be as I say though I'll pick it up in the morning16:19
Laneyas you wish16:21
willcookedavmor2, yeah I imagine so16:22
* oSoMoN is done with bug triaging for today16:45
willcookenight oSoMoN16:48

GunnarHjIt was. :)16:54
seb128jbicha, if GunnarHj is fine with it, sure16:57
