[02:21] <ToeSnacks> how do I disable desktop icons in Gnome?
[09:00] <StrangeNoises> in gnome tweaks
[13:49] <StrangeNoises> grr. arg. well i pulled out my nvidia card and stuck in an old radeon hoping that it would be happier with wayland... which it is, but i think i exchanged one set of problems for another.
[15:51] <ktechmidas> Anyone here know if there's a way to move/autohide the top panel?
[15:52] <Hans-Martin> hi folks, just upgraded to 17.10 and like it so far. One thing I miss is a workspace grid for gnome shell. I have googled a bit and found that there are extensions, is there something that is generally recommended?
[19:03] <chotaz> hello everyone, I've decided to give 17.10b2 a spin and my laptop keeps freezing at the plymouth splash whenever I try to restart or shutdown the machine. I tried switching to texhere are X jobs pending. How can I find out what's causing this?
[19:04] <chotaz>   switching over to text mode but there are no error messages only a indication that there are a number of jobs pending*
[20:49] <chotaz> Evening guys, I've managed to debug my restart/shutdown hanging issue a bit further by activating the debug shell and checking the syslog after 5mins waiting for a restart. Aparently there are a bunch of kword stopping jobs that get 'blocked for more than 120 seconds'. What does this mean and can I fix it somehow to prevent having to REISUB everytime I want to restart?
[21:11] <Faux> "kword stopping jobs" doesn't make any sense to me, do you have a service named kword?
[21:25] <chotaz> Faux: sorry, `kworker` was the process name.
[21:26] <Faux> kworker represents kernel threads, them hanging is normally very bad news. sysrq+w will give you their stacks.
[21:26] <Faux> But they're probably being spammed all over dmesg anyway, as linux doesn't like it when that happens.
[21:26] <Faux> Also it's probably because a hardware driver has gone NUTS, so good luck.
[21:31] <chotaz> I suspect it might be my wireless driver? I've seen other kword jobs hanging in dmesg on the debug shell but most of the times I get 3 jobs that hang all related to networking/network-manager
[21:32] <Faux> Seems plausible.
