[VMGuy23]I forgot about Wobbly Windows until yesterday. First tie I used it was on 5FPS though, but now Wobbly Windows is smooth! GNOME extensions can do this08:56
lotuspsychjeshould still work on unity too09:00
[VMGuy23]I prefer GNOME but have to say, kinda like unity09:01
lotuspsychje[VMGuy23]: i saw you commented that dock bug yesterday09:04
[VMGuy23]Yeah09:07
[VMGuy23]Still got ot09:07
[VMGuy23]*it09:07
[VMGuy23]I'm guessing that installing open-vm-tools is normal for a VM install after a reboot.09:18
lotuspsychjei would like to bring this topic back on for bug #124440 i'm testing a logitech mouse with scroll wheel and its pretty slow on all browsers, any idea to revive this wontfix bug?13:19
ubot5bug 124440 in gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) "[enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse wheel scrolling speed" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/12444013:19
lotuspsychjeright now i have to manual go tweak firefox about:config and set mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount to 50 scrolls decently now13:20
tomreynlotuspsychje: Xorg or Wayland? Have you tried the other one?14:16
lotuspsychjetomreyn: i'm on xorg 20.04 right now14:17
lotuspsychjetomreyn: its just that gnome settings doesnt have a speed setting for mousewheels14:17
tomreynhmm i guess it could have this, yes. but then gnome is gnome, they hate settings.14:18
lotuspsychjetested chromium and brave too where scrolling is slow the same14:20
lotuspsychjebit unlogic to go manual tweak all browsers right14:20
lotuspsychjetomreyn: in gnome settings, scrolling seems faster by default14:21
tomreynso it's just web browsers?14:24
lotuspsychjeits app related so it seems tomreyn14:28
tomreynhmm, hadn't expected that. but i know too little about libinput / xinput to get this anywhere.14:31
lotuspsychjewell im not really searching for a fix, just wanted to discuss if there's change that bug can get a second life14:32
lotuspsychjeor at least understand the logic behind the wontfix14:32
tomreynthe "won't fix" refers to the ubuntu-system-settings package, which last existed in xenial14:42
tomreynif you think there should be a wishlist bug on this (and it realistically has any chance to be developed by either upstream or the ubuntu desktop team) then you should most certainly file a new bug report on it (unless there is a newer one already)14:45
lotuspsychjeallright tomreyn you dont think they will dupe it to this one?14:47
tomreynhmm, maybe yes. i had missed the 'kind of recent' comments on it.14:49
tomreynif your bug report refers to a current release and describes the problem well there's a chance the opposite will happen.14:50
lotuspsychjemaybe there's some logic into it they dont continue?14:50
tomreynmost likely just priorities14:51
lotuspsychjeright14:51
lotuspsychjeit would be weird to go file bugs against individual browsers fro the scrolling right?14:51
lotuspsychjecause the gnome devs could think, scrolling works on our system, the rest is up to other devs?14:51
tomreynapparently that's their position already14:52
tomreynfrom what i read, gnome says this is libinputs'/xinput's bug, who say it's up to the wayland compositor to solve it.14:54
lotuspsychjeah, well let me go test some wayland tests first, then i might consider a new bug14:56
lotuspsychjetnx for the think along tomreyn15:00
lotuspsychjefood!15:03
tomreynit would be good to establish whether scroll speed really differs by application, since that would be a different bug (at least i did not see that discussed on the bug report)15:07
lotuspsychjetomreyn: bug #1682935 also gets duped to that older bug17:53
ubot5bug 124440 in gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #1682935 [enhancement] Ubuntu needs a way to set mouse wheel scrolling speed" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/12444017:53
lotuspsychjelogged into wayland, but seems like its behaving the same as on xorg17:54
tomreynlotuspsychje: so the demand for a GUI control to manage mouse wheel scrolling speed, as it's phrased in the title of the 1682935 bug report, still stands. some of the upstream bug reports this ubuntu bug refers to discuss different situations, where different scroll speeds are reported on xorg vs. wayland.18:14
lotuspsychjei just found something tomreyn https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/101618:15
lotuspsychjethat last comment, is just what i wanted to point out18:18
tomreynlotuspsychje: it might be good to replace the upstream link in the ubuntu bug tracker by this one (adding a note on the change as an update/comment)18:24
tomreynit currently links to gnome's bugzilla, which is basically dead and only used as a reference now. instead, they use their gitlab. also, the software name changed from gnome-control-center to gnome-settings18:25
tomreyn(or rather it's a follow-up project)18:26
tomreynhmm, no, actually just a name change for what i can tell, same code base18:26
tomreynor maybe it's just this silly seperation of project and display names18:28
lotuspsychjehow about i just comment the upstream link tomreyn this is a bit over my head really18:28
tomreynlotuspsychje: i updated it.18:42
lotuspsychjetnx tomreyn +118:56
