| dreamcat4 | confused about something: upgraded fro 18.04 to 18.10. and it forgets the number of workspaces, sets it back to 1 after each reboot | 12:27 |
|---|---|---|
| dreamcat4 | this has broken for me | 12:27 |
| dreamcat4 | but also: cannot add new workspaces anymore with everything except for the official workspace switcher app | 12:28 |
| dreamcat4 | which i hate | 12:28 |
| dreamcat4 | the ones i use are compact workspace switcher and workspace overview | 12:29 |
| dreamcat4 | so for some reasons: this has changed. the default gnome keyboard shortcut also no longs dynamically adds new workspaces | 12:29 |
| dreamcat4 | @ /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/move-to-monitor-left (in dconf) | 12:30 |
| dreamcat4 | used to do that on 18.04 | 12:30 |
| dreamcat4 | so what new mechanism is the official workspace switcher app using now for 18.10 ? | 12:31 |
| fossfreedom | dreamcat4, hmm. odd. Thought I checked that back in sept/oct time. Can you raise this on our version of github https://github.com/ubuntubudgie/budgie-desktop - need to investigate further with you. | 12:32 |
| dreamcat4 | thanks fossfreedom | 12:32 |
| dreamcat4 | although i dont have time to raise that issue right now, as it requires filling in all that system information. can do it later | 12:33 |
| dreamcat4 | its this though ? the official 18.10 'workspace switcher applet' | 12:34 |
| dreamcat4 | https://github.com/UbuntuBudgie/budgie-desktop/blob/master/src/applets/workspaces/WorkspacesApplet.vala | 12:34 |
| fossfreedom | no worries ... very busy this holiday season - so I'll try to get to it sometime soon once family time is done. | 12:34 |
| dreamcat4 | just wanted to see if there was a different underlying command i could call now | 12:35 |
| dreamcat4 | to do what that applet is doing. since its the only one that works anymore | 12:35 |
| fossfreedom | 18.10 is in the mutterIIredux branch | 12:35 |
| dreamcat4 | thanks! | 12:35 |
| dreamcat4 | i really needed to know that | 12:35 |
| dreamcat4 | mutter redux 330 2 or 3? (ii or iii) | 12:36 |
| fossfreedom | 2 | 12:36 |
| dreamcat4 | this is very helpful. because also wanted to check that branch for something else. not-related to this | 12:37 |
| dreamcat4 | which was mutter patch for removing 60hz locked | 12:37 |
| dreamcat4 | cannot go above 60hz | 12:38 |
| fossfreedom | k - that wouldnt be in budgie-desktop - that would be in the mutter source package | 12:38 |
| dreamcat4 | this is where my understanding of how you use mutter is entirely missing | 12:38 |
| dreamcat4 | so you link to mutter.so libs ? | 12:38 |
| fossfreedom | remember budgie at the moment is basically a plugin to mutter - at least the window management part | 12:38 |
| dreamcat4 | ah. i didnt know that | 12:39 |
| dreamcat4 | i still need to find out what version of mutter you are using. to know when mutter has fixed this, and if the fix is present on my local system | 12:39 |
| fossfreedom | apt-get source mutter | 12:40 |
| dreamcat4 | ok thanks again for that other help. have to go now. see you later | 12:41 |
| fossfreedom | yw | 12:41 |
| dreamcat4 | ah. before raising an issue, i should first try logging in with a brand new user account. | 13:33 |
| dreamcat4 | forgot to do that | 13:33 |
| dreamcat4 | unfortunately those other diligence steps did not fix these broken workspaces. so have raised that github issue now https://github.com/UbuntuBudgie/budgie-desktop/issues/43 | 17:52 |
