| Tommeh | Ahoy | 13:54 |
|---|---|---|
| Tommeh | I was wondering why, at some point last week, autoremove marked 'gnome-themes-standard' as fit for removal, but not 'gnome-themes-standard-data'. Without the former package, GTK2 support under Adwaita seemingly broke. | 13:55 |
| Tommeh | Other themes were OK. | 13:55 |
| Tommeh | It only manifested in one of my applications; hexchat. | 13:56 |
| Tommeh | (I'm running 17.10 Artful beta, upgrading most days.) | 13:56 |
| jbicha | Tommeh: yes, I'm going to have gnome-session recommend gnome-themes-standard later this week so I think that will fix that issue | 13:58 |
| Tommeh | jbicha: ah, glad I'm not the only one. :) | 13:59 |
| Tommeh | A few more packages went with it, though as far as I can tell haven't caused me any grief (yet) | 14:00 |
| Tommeh | Well, I should say 'a few more gnome-* packages went with gnome-themes-standard: gnome-photos, gnome-music, gnome-initial-setup, gnome-characters | 14:01 |
| jbicha | hmm, ok welcome to Ubuntu 17.10 | 14:03 |
| jbicha | do you still have gnome-session installed? | 14:03 |
| Tommeh | Yes | 14:04 |
| Tommeh | If the others aren't used any more, that's fine :) | 14:04 |
| * Tommeh was just aiming to avoid any more brokeneness | 14:04 | |
| jbicha | those other packages are stuff that Ubuntu GNOME used to install by default but Ubuntu 17.10 doesn't | 14:05 |
| jbicha | you can still install them if you like them | 14:05 |
| Tommeh | I must've missed something political - is Ubuntu GNOME now officially just "Ubuntu 17.10 w/ Gnome" in light of the 18.04 shift to gnome-shell? | 14:07 |
| jbicha | yes, we should probably make an updated announcement | 14:09 |
| jbicha | https://ubuntugnome.org/ubuntu-gnome-17-04-released/ | 14:09 |
| jbicha | there's a vanilla-gnome-desktop package available now if you want something like the old Ubuntu GNOME but we do not plan to make ISOs for it | 14:10 |
| Tommeh | Ahh | 14:12 |
| Tommeh | I had read this, but must've skimmed over the bit about 17.10 being the shift point for non-LTS | 14:12 |
| Tommeh | My bad. I'm happy to stick with the mainstream - I was really only using Ubuntu Gnome because installing gnome-shell alongside regular Ubuntu was *terrible* | 14:13 |
| jbicha | we were a bit late with doing the switch this cycle | 14:14 |
| jbicha | but we figured that most people would rather have the supported Ubuntu now and we made a metapackage for those who don't | 14:14 |
| jbicha | but even installing gnome-session and logging in to GNOME works well too | 14:14 |
| Tommeh | I can imagine it does now. Well, unless you use Adwaita & HexChat :D | 14:19 |
| Tommeh | (Until that recommends bit is fixedup) | 14:20 |
| Tommeh | Well anyway, keep up the good work, and thanks for all of your efforts - I'll leave you in peace :) | 14:36 |
| muelli | hrm. I'm running the live CD but I can't do much with it, because /cow is running out of space very quickly. Can I somehow assign more space to /cow? | 19:13 |
| jbicha | muelli: there's a tool called mkusb that could help you make a live USB have persistent storage so that's there more space available | 20:24 |
| jbicha | (Ubuntu's live images are designed as a demo and installer, not long-term use) | 20:25 |
| jbicha | mkusb isn't in Ubuntu, you have to get it from a PPA | 20:27 |
| muelli | hrm. yeah, I'm trying to use the live cd as a demo for my app. But installing it seems to involve too many dependencies to fill the overlayfs :-\ | 20:40 |
