[00:31] <maetthew> Anyone got a solution for when icons on the desktop get partially obstructed by Plank? I'm on Budgie 18.04 (screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/mYJenv6)
[00:31] <maetthew> Also when new icons appear they get stacked on top of each other. For instance when a usb stick gets mounted
[09:40] <fossfreedom_> maetthew: I'm guessing you have plank with autohide/window dodge?  You have to use plank as a fixed dock for desktop icons to take into account the dock size
[11:27] <maetthew> @fossfreedom_ Ah thanks. I had been looking for something in that regard, I missed the on/off switch for "hide dock". I was looking in the drop down for a "fixed" setting.
[11:35] <maetthew> That also fixed the stacking of new icons
[13:31] <maetthew> I'm trying to add "Online accounts" but they don't seem to actually get saved. For instance, trying to add a NextCloud account. I set up all the settings and press "Connect". It seems to validate the connection but it doesn't get saved. How would I go about to troubleshoot this?
[13:32] <maetthew> (and yes I've tried other accounts like Google and Facebook with the same result)
[13:36] <fossfreedom_> maetthew: not really sure.  Connecting my google account via online accounts works here.  So I don't know what is/isn't happening for you.  Seems like a generic enough question i.e. not UB specific - recommend ubuntuforums.org or askubuntu.com
[13:38] <maetthew> fossfreedom_: Hmm ok. Trying to do permanent switch from Windows to Ubuntu enviroment. Don't have much experience with desktop enviroments and the difference in UI between Budgie and Ubuntu. I'll try your suggestions thanks
[13:39] <fossfreedom_> The online accounts stuff isnt budgie specific - it is part of GNOME - so your question would equally apply to GNOME-Shell i.e. Ubuntu's default interface
[13:39] <maetthew> Thanks
[13:45] <maetthew> fossfreedom_: Is there a resource where I can learn more about the Budgie specific stuff somewhere?
[13:50] <fossfreedom_> maetthew: nothing official ... however this site has a pretty good overview - its a series - so 3 articles in total so far to wander through http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2018/11/a-journey-on-budgie-desktop-1-top-panel.html
[13:51] <maetthew> fossfreedom_: Seems like a good start anyway. Cheers
[14:56] <maetthew> fossfreedom: If youre interested, the problem with online accounts is that gnome-online-accounts is not installed with minmal installation. Should I report this somewhere maybe?
[15:06] <maetthew> Posted a bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntubudgie/+bug/1809264
[15:12] <fossfreedom_> maetthew: ah - yes, that has been resolved in the latest bionic daily build and will be in 18.04.2 released in Jan/Feb
[15:12] <maetthew> fossfreedom_: Ah nice. Should I change status on my bug report to "fix commited"?
[15:14] <fossfreedom_> maetthew: I've updated the report
