<yura85> 16.04 - stable? 17.04 - not?
<fossfreedom> 16.04 is Ubuntu's Long-Term Support release.  So the packages are much older - but better tested.  It doesnt mean all bugs are fixed though.  17.04 has much more recent packages - generally the maintainers think more bugs are fixed... but maybe introduce new ones.

<new-budgieuser> Hi, I recently put ubuntu budgie 17.04 on my gfs
<fossfreedom> Hi and welcome new-budgieuser
<fossfreedom> gfs?  what is that?
<new-budgieuser> .....laptop, it works but hangs on the plymouth boot screen until esc is pressed repeatedly. I've just figured out from the logs that the swapfile failed to activate.  Not too sure where to go from there.
<new-budgieuser> Hi fossfreedom, thank you!
<fossfreedom> hmm - not really my area.  Sorry about that. You could try our gitter chat room as well - alternatively probably askubuntu.com can be helpful.
<new-budgieuser> OK, thanks - no probs, just thought I might try here first

<NAF1> is it not an option yet to have the system suspend the OS or hibernate when you close the lid on a laptop with budgie?

<p7f> hi, i've installed ubuntu budgie recently and i realized that the key "impr pant" does not work... in kubuntu and windows it works though... what could be happening?
<fossfreedom> p7f, don't really recognise the key name "impr pant" - probably a question for a much wider audiance such as askubuntu.com or ubuntuforums.org
<p7f> fossfreedom: sorry... i'm using latin american keyboard... it is the key that takes a picture of the screen when you press it
<fossfreedom> ah - the printscr key
<fossfreedom> yeah - budgie-desktop does not natively support that key
<fossfreedom> but there is a workaround
<fossfreedom> just a sec
<fossfreedom> you need to define a custom keyboard shortcut - https://solus-project.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1941
<fossfreedom> but I just use something like shutter
<fossfreedom> or the budgie-screenshot-applet
<p7f> i've installed budgie-screenshot-applet but nothing happened
<p7f> i cannot set a shortcut because the key is not even recognized when i need to input it for the shortcut
<p7f> there is a screen shot section in the place where you create shortcuts, but they dont work.. i cannot set another shortcut with same key.. should i delete them?
<p7f> Is there a way con configure available shortcuts commands?
<fossfreedom> p7f, once you have installed budgie-screenshot-applet, logout and login and then add the applet to your panel.  You can use the panel options to take screenshots
<fossfreedom> as to why the key is not recognised - sorry I don't know the answer to that.  askubuntu.com or ubuntuforums.org should be able to help here.
<p7f> thanks a lot!
<p7f> i'll just use the screenshot-applet

<xorios> hello
<xorios> I have a small problem with Ubuntu Budgie but I cannot find the origin nor the way to solve it
<xorios> the "menu bar" in some softwares (such as synaptic) is not spaced
<xorios> i.e. I have "FileEditPackageSettingsHelp" without spacing between these menu items
<xorios> I cannot find people having similar problem
<xorios> any ideas what's wrong and how to solve it?
<xorios> @fossfreedom, are you a Ubuntu Budgie dev?

<jbicha> fossfreedom_: have you heard any incompability between Budgie 10.3 and mutter 3.24.3?
<jbicha> maybe it's just a problem trying to log out than log in to the live iso :(
<jbicha> so I worked around that by installing gdm
<jbicha> and it works very strange with gdm (gnome-shell is running!)
<fossfreedom_> jbicha, no - no reports.  I see that 3.24.3 is in proposed.  Let me upgrade today's daily with mutter in proposed
<jbicha> it worked for me
<jbicha> except the login screen difficulty in the live environment
<fossfreedom_> you logged out of the live session and tried to log back in?
<jbicha> yes, that doesn't work well
<fossfreedom_> k - let me have a quick look
<jbicha> btw, the Try or Install screen looks like it uses the Adwaita theme
<fossfreedom_> yep - no idea about that.  Was wondering if it was a fallback theme.
<jbicha> it is the default gtk3 theme unless overriden
<fossfreedom_> k - today's daily - logged out of the live session and logged back in ok.
<fossfreedom_> odd - no 3.24.3 to upgrade to in proposed
<jbicha> mutter 3.24.3 is still building
<fossfreedom_> k - will wait and check later
<jbicha> I had trouble logging back in after reinstalling mutter
<fossfreedom_> jbicha, looks ok this side - installed libmutter and mutter packages (mutter-common pulled in) - logged out and logged in ok.  Works in live session and in an installed VM

<Hybrid> Hi
<MrLemur> Hello
<jonzen> live usb 18.04 resizing panel the icons do not enlarge with it    any help appreciated
<jonzen> would really like to give it a try installed but im old as dirt   eyesight sux   and little tiny icons on panel wont cut it  lol
<MrLemur> jonzen, let me have a check
<jonzen> ty
<MrLemur> what kind of computer/monitor are you using?
<jonzen> asus laptop i7 3.2ghz 6gb hdmi to 40 inch samsung 1080p
<MrLemur> Fraid not, doesn't look like icon scaling has been implemented.
<jonzen> ok  ty
<jonzen> any idea when it will be  im looking for a change and really like thsi budgie desktop
<MrLemur> This has been raised as issue #1398 on GitHub on 30th April, no timeline at the moment
<Hybrid> can somebody explains me why some applications can be pinned to a panel and some others not ?
<Hybrid> for example, LibreOffice Writer can be pinned but not LibreOffice Calc ?!?
<Hybrid> or how can I add shortcuts or pinned apps to a panel without using the "pin" option on a running application icon ?
#ubuntu-budgie 2018-06-02
<fossfreedom> Hybrid, some apps are pretty poor when using wmclass - they set it to weird value when they shouldnt be fiddling with it.  The pin option depends on the wmclass matching the .desktop file
<fossfreedom> there is an xprop trick you can use to workaround app issues - link embedded here https://discourse.ubuntubudgie.org/t/is-it-possible-to-pin-appimages-to-panel/98
<mpmc> fossfreedom: Just thought tell you this in case you didn't know; Certain applets 'hang' the panel at start up if no internet is available or really slow.
 * mpmc had to use mobile broadband for a few days.
<gacanepa> Hi everyone. A new Budgie user here. I have two quick questions. Not sure if this is the right place to ask?
<gacanepa> AnyoneÂ¡
<gacanepa> ?
#ubuntu-budgie 2018-06-03
<fossfreedom> mpmc, any thoughts on which applets? - I'll raise it here - please fill in the details.  TIA https://github.com/UbuntuBudgie/budgie-extras/issues/77
<TheSilentLink> Hi is there a way to not have steam and the game on the same icon on the plasma dock?
<taintedsushi> 'lo
<taintedsushi> Can anyone tell me if the power management issues I'm having with Budgie are a Budgie thing or an Ubuntu thing?
#ubuntu-budgie 2018-06-04
<flormynight> hey guys, any plans on migrating to gitlab?
<taintedsushi> Hello.  Anyone awake?
<TheSilentLink> does compositing get disabled when a game is opened?
<fossfreedom> TheSilentLink, doubtful - why would you think it should?  Full screen is different from windowed apps
<fossfreedom> taintedsushi, /o
<fossfreedom> TheSilentLink, plasma dock?
<TheSilentLink> doesn't having the compositor running in the background hurt performance
<fossfreedom> if performance is an issue - make sure you are running full screen - then no compositing issues
<fossfreedom> taintedsushi, what power management issues?  Most probably kernel related and would apply to all ubuntu variants
<TheSilentLink> right just asking cause in kde for example when programs can disable compositing to get better performance
<taintedsushi> Hey, power management seems to do nothing on my system.  I just did a fresh install of Bionic Beaver and nothing. Is it TLP that's being bad here?
<fossfreedom> doubtful taintedsushi - but you can test that easily by purging tlp
<taintedsushi> fossfreedom: I'll try that.  Can you suggest an alternative PM package?
<fossfreedom> If TLP is at fault then file a bug report otherwise it cannot be fixed.  If the kernel is at fault then similarly file a bug report (ubuntu-bug linux)
<taintedsushi> OK. Thanks.
<mpmc> fossfreedom: The budgie panel icon seems to be back, I've nailed it down to sysmonitor when trying to view the preferences.
<fossfreedom> mpmc - no idea how to fix - ideas are welcome - just a reminder that you raised it here https://github.com/fossfreedom/indicator-sysmonitor/issues/78

<pragomer> hi. I have choosen "minimal install" while installing ubuntu-budgie 18.04. But I now am missing some things (tilix-here in nautilus, screenshooting-tool). how can I easily install these packages?
<pragomer> AND: i got a very strange bug using gnome-screenshot tool: it only captures "black"
<mpmc> fossfreedom: I'd actually forgot I'd done that as it's not something I see every day :p
<Beagon> Hi there everyone. I've been using Budgie for a couple weeks now and I'm really satisfied with it, however I have a litte problem
<Beagon> I can't seem to rebind the print screen button to shutter... The default screenshotting tool is quite sub-par
<Beagon> For context: I disabled all the screenshotting bindings then tried to add a custom shortcut but the bind doesn't seem to pick up on my print screen button
<fossfreedom> Beagon, for your custom binding - is "Print" actually assigned?  If it is then it must be your command line you are using
#ubuntu-budgie 2018-06-06
<Beagon> fossfreedom: Afraid it's not bound. It doesn't seem to bind in any way. Let me try and take a small gif/video
<Beagon> I can;t take a video, sorry. But the problem is that it just doesn't detect the print button when I'm pressing it. It however does for already existing bindings. It only doesn't detect it if it's a custom binding. Other key combinations work though
<nano_> hello everyone
#ubuntu-budgie 2018-06-08

<hmac> Any ideas?
