arm1eHello everyone10:54
diogenes_hi10:55
arm1eI have been having theming issues for the past few weeks on the new beta. Many times, when I want to try a new theme it will not install properly, missing controls, or not changing the colour of the indicators applet to match the panel10:56

diogenes_did you close and re-open ff?14:28
arm1eyup14:28

diogenes_no clue about check boxes, I don't even use ff, it's all I remember from those older days when I was using ff14:30
diogenes_arm1e, you still there?14:32
arm1eyeah14:32
diogenes_try to replace userContent.css with this: https://gist.github.com/olegantonyan/f27d359fd3cfa5340a0a28e11038da2914:32
diogenes_tell me if that fixes the thing14:32
arm1eI want to use a light theme, but I keep running into issues. The main one is that the indicator plugin in the panel ignores the panel colour14:32

Fretegihowdy guys18:46
Fretegi so I need to update gnucash to 3.0 on an ubuntu 16.04 system.  currently its installed from the ubuntu repos.  if i just download the tar's and build it manually will it bring bring over my current configs etc?18:51
alkisgFretegi: check if you can install it from https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gnucash19:17
alkisgI.e. if the dependencies of the bionic (18.04) version are satisfiable in 16.0419:18
Fretegithats for version 2.19 thought right?19:19
alkisgIt's the latest version available in ubuntu; what's the last upstream?19:29
Fretegignucash 3.019:32
Fretegiusually i dont care about having the latest and greatest stuff.  But in this case gnucash actually alters the format for files that it saves, pre 3.0 versions cannot read 3.0+ versions.  on another machine i use i was forced to upgrade to 3.0 for other reasons... so just trying to have it be consistent is all19:33
Freteginow one can always just build it from source.  The necessary files are on the gnucash site.. and i dont mind that.  i will be upgrading ubuntu to 18.04 when it goes stable so was hoping that would be part of it so i dont have to bother with addressing none repo software down the line19:34
alkisgFretegi: as you can see in the link above, 18.04 doesn't have gnucash 3.019:38
alkisgIt's currently only available in debian experimental: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gnucash19:38
alkisghttp://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/g/gnucash/gnucash_3.0-1_changelog says it's pretty fresh, 08 April.19:39
Fretegithats alright.  is there a way to add that as a repo for just that one piece of software?19:40
Fretegignucash that is19:40
alkisgYou'd download the .deb, not as a repo19:40
Fretegithatll work... now is APT smart enough to see that this is installed and automatically pick up install a later version when it does come available via the normal ubuntu repos?19:41
alkisgIn Ubuntu 20.04, a new version will come, and it will be automatically updated, yes19:42
Fretegiwell that will work..  so now with the current 2.6 version i have, if i run the deb for the 3.0, it will just upgrade and not have 2 versions installed then right?  so in theory should pull in configs etc.19:43
alkisgRight; note that you'l need to verify the dependencies first19:44
alkisgWhat's your arch? dpkg --print-architecture19:44
Fretegiamd6419:45
alkisgOK so you go to https://packages.debian.org/experimental/gnucash, click on amd64 at the bottom, download that .deb,19:46
alkisgthen follow the dependencies and also download https://packages.debian.org/experimental/gnucash-common etc etc,19:46
alkisgand when you've collected all the necessary .debs, you put them in a folder, and run sudo apt install *.deb19:46
alkisgAnd see if apt can satisfy the dependencies, or if something's wrong19:46
Fretegioh thats a neat trick19:50
Fretegistill getting the hang of how apt and .deb's work.  most of my linux experience is with gentoo.  portage is a completely dif animal.  thanks for that tip buddy19:50
alkisgnp19:51
alkisgIf you're that used to compiling, you could also fetch the source package from experimental, then run `sudo apt build-dep gnucash` to fetch the build dependencies, and finally run `debuild -b -tc` to generate the .debs yourself19:52
Fretegialkisg, and then have to run the .deb to install?20:11
Fretegiso i have to downloadall like 20 of these .deb's?20:14
Fretegialkisg, what about this?20:28
Fretegihttps://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building#Ubuntu_16.04_LTS_.28Xenial_Xerus.2920:28
Fretegicatch though is, the instructions dont seem to mention saving the .tar for the source or where to place it etc20:29
