ulyssesHey guys, I'm wondering why some Gnome 3 apps aren't themed, any ideas?05:06
ulyssesAlso have a icon in the upper right of all of my windows, how do I get rid of that?05:06
dufluulysses, which apps aren't themed?06:09
ulyssesHey!06:09
ulyssesPolari, Gnome Books06:09
ulyssesthat's what I can tell so far06:09
dufluulysses, also do you mean this large icon? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/171823806:10
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1718238 in mutter (Ubuntu) "Giant terminal icon is blocking out the Terminal window buttons" [Medium,Triaged]06:10
ulyssesIt's an icon to the upper right corner of the window, like that, but even non gtk 3 apps will have a window menu in that place06:11
dufluulysses, please log a bug with screenshot so we can figure it out06:11
ulyssesSee, I installed the MATE desktop, then purged it, and I think that may have something to do with it?06:12
ulyssesI'll do that06:12
dufluulysses, I installed those two apps in 18.04 and they are themed. Please log a separate bug for that issue too06:14
ulyssesOk, would this happen to have anything to do with QT?06:15
ulyssesAlso, how's 18.04?06:15
dufluulysses, I don't know but since we can't get a clear idea of the problems you're experiencing you will need to log bugs with screenshots06:17
ulyssesOk ok06:17
duflu18.04 is great06:17
ulyssesGetting there06:17
ulyssesIs it stable this early in the builds?06:17
ulyssesAny fun features planned for the release?06:17
dufluulysses, yes it's been stable for a couple of months. Only one problem compared to 17.10 comes to mind -- hardware accelerated video playback in 18.04 broke this week06:18
dufluSo "stable" is relative06:18
ulyssesThat sucks, I'm sure they'll get it ironed out though06:19
dufluYes, we'll fix it soon. Have already tested the fix06:19
ulyssesIs it doing well on AMD hardware/06:21
ulysses*?06:21
tjaaltonduflu: 18.0.0-rc4 released without the fix, so I'll distro-patch it for now06:21
duflutjaalton, ta muchly06:21
dufluulysses, I don't have AMD to test on, but when we asked the community for testing it was positive feedback about AMD06:22
ulyssesAlways good to hear06:22
ulyssesI'm dorking about in dconf, where are the preferences for window buttons and the like?06:23
ulyssesI think I can solve one problem there06:23
dufluulysses, install 'gnome-tweak-tool' and just run that I think06:24
ulyssesI have that weird additional window menu, and I think if I can find whatevers making it pop up, I can just delete that line of text and get rid of it06:24
ulyssesHa! Ok06:26
ulyssesGot rid of the app menu06:26
ulyssesThat's fixed06:26
ulyssesI'll be back, I'm going to pop out and pop back in to see if my QT installs did anything to affect the windows not being themed06:27
ulyssesThank you for your help by the way06:27
ulyssesAlright, and I'm back06:32
ulyssesI think it's a qt issue, as no qt app is themed06:32
flocculantulysses: I used qt5-style-plugin, install and logout, but that's Xubuntu - not sure it'll help in Ubuntu06:44
ulyssesProbably will06:44
ulyssesI'm figuring it out a step at a time06:45
ulyssesI think the Gnome apps that weren't being themed are FlatPak apps06:45
ulyssesIs there a PPA for QT5?06:49
flocculantno idea - just installed normally06:50
ulyssesI figured I might as well solve my QT apps looking weird while I'm at it06:50
ulyssesYou guys know how to make FlatPak look good?06:51

seb128hey duflu09:26
dufluHi seb12809:26
seb128good morning desktopers, people starting to me and it seems I forgot to say hi here :)09:26
seb128duflu, how are you? had a good friday? ready for the w.e?09:26
dufluseb128, been slightly unwell. But the good news is I will propose one tiny mutter fix tonight, and then the big one(s) next week. Everything is starting to become silky smooth09:27
willcookehope you feel better duflu09:27
seb128get better duflu! and nice for the upstream fixes :)09:28
seb128I hope you get more luck than for the dock/panel refresh ones09:29
dufluWeirdly the fix for my big branch was my little branch I had discarded because it didn't help enough (before the big branch)09:29
dufluseb128, these are a bigger deal than the CPU fixes. I will return to those09:30
seb128k09:30
willcookeif someone wants to use synaptics on 17.10/18.04 under Unity - do they need to remove libinput?09:30
dufluwillcooke, nope. It coexists09:30
willcookethanks duflu09:30
dufluXorg sessions use it and Wayland uses libinput09:30
dufluAlthough that seems to imply prioritization... which seems to work09:31
seb128willcooke, duflu, it's the other way around, synaptic is having a higher priority than libinput so if it gets install it screws GNOME09:31
seb128so it's like libinput was not installed09:32
dufluYes, that's what I was trying to say09:32
seb128I don't like much to keep to option for users to shoot themself in the foot without knowing how/why09:32
* willcooke hands the user a gun 09:33
willcookeWe need U7 settings to support libinput I think09:33
dufluI think coexisting is ideal, if the settings dialog shows some kind of warning as to why things won't work09:33
seb128like people are going to install it because they read something on the internet that says to do that and not understand why their GNOME settings get missing and blame us for providing a buggy desktop09:35
seb128right, having the warning lowers the issue but still isn't a good experience09:35

dokognome-software wants a MIR for gtkspell13:10
jbichadoko: looking at the diff of the new gnome-software, it looks like gnome-software was missing its gtkspell3 binary dependency because of a bug (in the meson conversion?)13:11
jbichagtkspell was already in main in previous Ubuntu releases because of gnome-software. Could you please promote it again?13:11
seb128GunnarHj, hey, I can have a look in a bit, btw you probably saw but I fixed pkgbinarymangler, it was an easy change once I figured out the issue :)13:49
seb128jbicha, hey, right, we should probably comment it out for now, it doesn't look like anyone who understand the code is wanting to update it and nobody cared enough to upstream report an issue and the change, that's what you get in return...13:58
GunnarHjseb128: Nice. The "figure out" part was the tough one.14:05

jbichaseb128: so you want me to upload NM 1.10 now?15:13
seb128jbicha, if you want sure, I can have a look to the diff first if you prefer, also I didn't read the changelog yet but maybe put a rational on the patch disabling saying it was not upstreamed and the people understanding the issue can't help updating it and the issue is less important than the update15:29
jbichaseb128: I've updated the changelog with an explanation for disabling the patch15:41
seb128jbicha, looks fine to me, I would have added a note that the issue/patch was not upstream but I guess that doesn't matter much, I can tell that to Steve or whoever complains we commented it out15:51
willcookeDid we ever talk about switching the date to show in the top bar by default?  Tweaks has a toggle for it, so I assume it's just a setting?15:58
willcookeSide note: Seems I dont know what the date is most of the time15:59
seb128I don't think that has been discussed15:59
seb128I personally like to have it as well, unsure how representative that is16:00
mdeslaurFYI, I turned on the date as well16:01
willcooke100% of people who responded wanted it switched on.16:04
willcookeSHIIIIIIIIP IIITTTTT16:04
kenvandine+116:05
willcookejbicha, wdyt? ^16:05
* kenvandine is often annoyed it's not there16:05
mdeslaurhehe16:05
willcookeHonestly, it's going to save me about 5 or 6 clicks *a day*16:05
jbichabtw, GNOME 3.27 has an option to hide the weekday, but it was a bit buggy so I didn't add a switch for that to Tweaks. See GNOME bug 789311 & GNOME bug 78932416:05
ubot5Gnome bug 789311 in libgnome-desktop "3.27: clock-show-weekday only updates once per minute" [Normal,New] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78931116:05
ubot5Gnome bug 789324 in libgnome-desktop "3.27: clock: date shouldn't show weekday if weekday is turned off" [Normal,New] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78932416:05
willcookeI'm ok with what day it is generally, but just having the DOM up there would really help16:06
willcookeIM16:06
willcookeO16:06
jbichacould someone that cares at least mention this in #gnome-design to know if there is a reason they don't enable the date by default?16:06
willcookesure I can do that16:07
seb128we didn't have it on by default in Unity either right?16:07
seb128but at the same time unity had a setting for it16:07
willcookethat ^16:07
seb128when in GNOME you need to find/install tweaks16:07
kenvandinewillcooke, i just asked :)16:08
jbichaquick, let's ship Tweaks by default ;)16:08
seb128lol16:08
willcookethanks kenvandine - I'm struggling to add a new server to hexchat because menus16:08
willcookejbicha, :D16:08
kenvandinelol16:08
seb128is there any other OS that requires you do install tweak apps to enable showing the date?16:09
seb128I wonder what windows/macOS do there16:09
seb128oh well, I'm not going to start a GNOME ranting now16:10
mdeslaurseb128: https://www.igeeksblog.com/add-date-to-menu-bar-in-mac-os-x/16:10
seb128good16:11
seb128it's maybe yet another setting we should try to convince GNOME to add to g-c-c next cycle16:11
jbichaI guess part of the problem is that Tweaks has such a variety of stuff16:12
jbichathe GNOME "cabal" has this concept of tweaks which they don't want to have in g-c-c even though some are popular choices that other desktops would show in their settings apps16:14
jbichaalso, Tweaks can have somewhat disorganized stuff, but Settings has a higher design baseline16:15
jbichaSettings > Date & Time does have empty space though …16:16
seb128well, splitting settings in 2 apps, useful & less useful settings is a weird concept16:17
seb128especially with GNOME choice of "less useful" ones16:17
* didrocks doesn't really like having a date by default, but unsure how popular this is16:17
seb128didrocks, because of the symetry? ;)16:17
seb128or you don't like to know that today is not friday16:18
seb128well except today :p16:18
didrocksseb128: not even… I like having less stuff on top panel, maybe16:18
didrockswell, I have the day of the week, (maybe it's even too much)16:18
didrocksI only care about the time16:18
kenvandinedidrocks, aday doesn't seem to even want the day of the week16:18
didrocksI would agree with him :)16:18
didrocksbut I'm unsure how widespread this idea is16:19
gQuigsI'd rather have just the date and not the day..  obligatory https://xkcd.com/1179/16:19
didrocksit's weird to only have the day of the week + hour and not the whole date OR just the hour, though16:19
didrocksbut this is really IMHO16:19
jbichasome users really don't like seeing the DOW (day of the week) in the top bar16:20
kenvandineyeah, i don't find the day useful16:20
didrocksI guess it's either whole date (DOW + date + hour) or just hour16:20
kenvandinebut the date would be useful to me16:20
didrocksthe current situation is weird IMHO16:21
kenvandineagreed16:21
didrocksso yeah, I would be in aday's camp :)16:21
jbichadidrocks: I mentioned earlier that in GNOME 3.27 you can get date without weekday16:22
seb128that wouldn't even be a discussion/issue if they accepted that users have different preferences and added common settings to g-c-c16:22
seb128k, I need to step out for half an hour, bbl16:23
didrocksjbicha: yeah, but it's a settings still… I try to run our default experience :p16:24
