[02:57] <jbicha> darkxst: why *do* we have gnome-shell depend on gdm3? I dropped that in artful for now and I'm thinking it might be good to SRU that back to xenial
[02:57] <jbicha> that debconf question is very annoying since I think many users don't know how to handle it
[03:03] <jbicha> people will still get the question if they install ubuntu-gnome-desktop unless we make that an alternate dependency
[05:11] <TheNumb> Didn't the lock screen depend on gdm?
[05:12] <TheNumb> I think it used to be the case

[12:24] <tony1> the package "nautilus-emblems" has a dependency issue. it will not work unless "gnome-icon-theme" is installed on the system, Whether or not it is used as the system theme icon set.
[12:25] <tony1> I hope devs are here?
[12:27] <jbicha> tony1: please file a bug
[12:31] <tony1> jbicha: where is the proper place?
[12:32] <jbicha> you can run ubuntu-bug nautilus-emblems
[12:32] <jbicha> We get the package from Debian so you could optionally file the bug there too
[12:33] <tony1> you could probably get more emblems installing more icon sets on the system.
[12:33] <tony1> ok will do
[14:04] <dreamcat4> hi. i just noticed that your official download links for 'stable release' are 16.04.2... however ubuntu has changed their policy (starting this .2 version)
[14:06] <dreamcat4> ... it seems that is a problem now actually! because this .2 gets less stable (newer) 4.8 kernel, etc like non-LSB releases and is not guaranteed for 5 years
[14:06] <dreamcat4> so where to download 'ubuntu-gnome' 16.04.0 from?
[14:06] <jbicha> dreamcat4: that's basically how 14.04 worked except that it's a bit better in 16.04 as it will automatically update the kernel and graphics driver
[14:07] <dreamcat4> oh ok
[14:07] <jbicha> if you want 16.04 without Hardware Enablement, you can download 16.04.1 from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/16.04/release/
[14:08] <dreamcat4> my graphics is screwed up on 4.8 (because ASPEED didn't get around to fix it yet)
[14:08] <dreamcat4> thanks
[14:09] <dreamcat4> actually ... this explain also makes me a great help for other broken driver back in 14.04.x
[14:09] <dreamcat4> (which was a dvb tuner card)
[14:10] <dreamcat4> they should call it 'hardware breakage' instead of 'hardware enablement'

[15:16] <tony1> dreamcat4: installing ubuntu-gnome 17.04 actually fixed some driver issues for me but the upgrade processes caused issues and I needed to install clean.
[15:17] <dreamcat4> unfortunately only LTS release has the live kernel patching... (at least for the time being)
[16:09] <elopio> jbicha: Hello! Like a month ago I sent you an email about the ubuntu testing days on fridays. We are talking about ubuntu flavours, and we would like to talk about gnome too, with you.
[16:10] <elopio> it's just a relaxed talk, 30 minutes tops. Like this one about mate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75zgIVHkXRA
[16:10] <elopio> jbicha: would you like to join us one of the following fridays?
[19:45] <tony1> with 17.04 where did the option go to right click and umount a share that is shown on the desktop?
