[12:27] <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
[12:28] <dreamcat4> but also: cannot add new workspaces anymore with everything except for the official workspace switcher app
[12:28] <dreamcat4> which i hate
[12:29] <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
[12:30] <dreamcat4> @ /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/move-to-monitor-left (in dconf)
[12:30] <dreamcat4> used to do that on 18.04
[12:31] <dreamcat4> so what new mechanism is the official workspace switcher app using now for 18.10 ?
[12:32] <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
[12:33] <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
[12:34] <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.
[12:35] <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
[12:36] <dreamcat4> mutter redux 330 2 or 3? (ii or iii)
[12:36] <fossfreedom> 2
[12:37] <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
[12:38] <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
[12:39] <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
[12:40] <fossfreedom> apt-get source mutter
[12:41] <dreamcat4> ok thanks again for that other help. have to go now. see you later
[12:41] <fossfreedom> yw
[13:33] <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
[17:52] <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
