ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <jlemonde> Hi! I've been testing Ubuntu 21.10 and I believe I found a bug: when you "switch applications", which by default is Super+Tab, it would not bring Nautilus to the front. It works with all other applications, but not Nautilus. However, when you "switch windows" using Alt+Tab it works fine. Can you confirm?06:00
guiverc@jlemonde, I just did a QA-test install of ubuntu impish (gnome desktop) & don't notice what you describe  (i have rhythmbox/firefox/nautilus running and switch between them equally)07:08
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <jlemonde> I may have narrowed it down to being due to an extension, but I don't know which nor how to find out:  when I disable one by one, or when I cycle through all my extensions by only enabling a single one at a time, I always get the bug in all cases. The only way for me to not get the bug is disable all extensions. But perhaps I should restart new nautilus instances between each attempt with the extensions?07:32
guivercI'm not a gnome user so can't give authoritative advice.  I'd ensure the extensions are intended to work with the gnome/gtk used by impish; messages may exist in logs but I'm guessing 07:48
lotuspsychje@jlemonde: the first thing devs will ask to test is to disable extensions to debug it vanilla09:18
lotuspsychje@jlemonde: another idea rising to my mind is keeping a journalctl -f open, see if you can trace any issues while testing it09:21
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <jlemonde> Yes sorry, I narrowed it down to dash-to-panel, but earlier I failed at identifying it was due to a specific extension due to probably the fact that extensions may remain partly active after being disabled, so even if I disabled the buggy extension, the bug remained some time. May this be a Wayland thing? I am very disoriented by it not having a restart function (such as Xorg had Alt+F2 "r")09:24
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <jlemonde> So the above bug I mentioned has nothing to do with Ubuntu 21.10, only that this popular extension does not support GNOME 40 well.09:24
lotuspsychje@jlemonde: cool tnx for the testing, another handy extension from the repos you can try is workspaces to dock, i use it myself and found it pretty nice09:27
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> I've been improving Quickemu recently. With the Impish final release upon us, I thought it would be good to let you know some that Quickemu is better than ever for QA and testing.19:09
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> The project is here: https://github.com/wimpysworld/quickemu19:10
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> Here's the TL;DR for installing and using Quickemu to test Ubuntu MATE daily-live images, but all official flavours are supported.19:10
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> sudo apt-add-repository ppa:flexiondotorg/quickemu19:11
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> sudo apt install quickemu19:11
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> That will install Quickemu on Focal, Hirsute or Impish 👆19:11
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> To create and run Ubuntu MATE daily-live do the following:19:12
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> quickget ubuntu-mate devel19:12
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> quickemu --vm ubuntu-mate-devel.conf19:12
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> Replace ubuntu-mate with the flavour you want to test.19:13
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> quickget ubuntu-mate devel will use zsync to automatically sync new daily live iso images, even if the new series becomes available.19:14
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> You can replace devel with supported final release such as focal and hirsute.19:14
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> Copy/paste and file sharing between the host and guest is also available, just add --display spice to quickemu, like this:19:15
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> `quickemu --vm ubuntu-mate-devel.conf --display spice`19:15
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> If you need macOS or Windows then Quickemu can create those VMs in the same way.19:17
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> *Windows*19:17
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> macOS19:18
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> quickget macos catalina19:18
ubuntubridgebot_[telegram] <wimpress> quickemu --vm macos-catalina.conf19:18
