<mikec>
would anyone happen to know why, when i do an "apt-get remove compiz" it also removes ubuntu-desktop? I tried adding ubuntu-desktop back, but it will also bring back compiz
14:42
now its getting more odd, since i'm trying to install ubuntu-desktop (and thus get my ubuntu-2d environment) it never shows up in my sessions options in ldm
14:42
only shows my failsafe mode
14:42
so when I log in im getting just the blank desktop screen
14:43
usually when i "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" I can then see Ubuntu 2D as an option, but thats no longer happening
14:44
actually the command I ran was apt-get install remove --purge compiz

<highvoltage>
mikec: ubuntu-desktop depends on unity which depends on compiz
15:05
mikec: ubuntu-2d was removed in 12.10, so it's just an empty package there
15:06
<andygraybeal>
do i need to worry about network-manager in ubuntu 12.04 desktop?
15:06
if i do a apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ?
15:07
<mikec>
so what should I be installing in order to get a working desktop environment? I would like it to automatically load that environment when users log in.

mikec: well, that's a problem these days.
15:37
I'm facing it at work myself.
15:37
Currently, I'm helping out over in #mate, on the Mate desktop.
15:38
http://mate-desktop.org/
15:38
which is basically a re-invigoration of the older gnome-2 desktop.
15:38
Which should work fine with LTSP.
15:39
There are packages for quantal

<gvy>
sbalneav, yay, glad to know you're there ;-)
15:40
next mainstream altlinux release will ship with mate as the main desktop, btw
15:50
<||cw>
interesting. can the apps be used on their own? I do miss the old Nautilus
15:51
the rest I'm not sure why they forked, especially terminal

sbalneav: how much future does a gtk2-based DE have? Are there any plans for a future gtk3 port?
16:14* alkisg would rather see mate developers help out with gnome-fallback in gnome3...
16:15
<andygraybeal>
alkisg, are you using fallback or unity?
16:15
or both?
16:15alexqwesa_ has joined IRC (alexqwesa_!~alex@109.172.12.47)
16:15
<alkisg>
andygraybeal: fallback, I couldn't get used to unity, and it doesn't work with thin clients anyway
16:16
We even made a custom CD for Greek schools with fallback preinstalled + preselected
16:16
<andygraybeal>
ah why doesn't it work with thin clients? (i got it to work with thin client in my test environment)

16:16
<alkisg>
You probably got unity-2d working
16:16
<andygraybeal>
ah yes, unity-23
16:16
err 2d
16:16
<alkisg>
...which was dropped from 12.10 on
16:16
<andygraybeal>
oMG crap.
16:16
okay
16:17
thank you for letting me know. i didn't mind unity 2d.
16:17
<alkisg>
If unity-2d was to get wide support I wouldn't mind trying harder to get used to it
16:18
But now that it's being dropped, and with unity-3d not running on thin clients or older hardware or nouveau based hardware etc etc.... it's not worth it
16:19
<andygraybeal>
alkisg, okay good. thank you.
16:19
<alkisg>
And with gnome-fallback also going away in the future, we'll probably switch to LXDE for 14.04
16:19
<sbalneav>
alkisg: How much future does *anything* have? :) As much as people are willing to put work into it, I suppose. IceWM's still around and kicking. Ubuntu barely supported unity-2d for 2 years before they dropped it.
16:19
<andygraybeal>
ah lxde ... my users will love me.
16:20
i'll follow whatever you guys do. that's all that matters to me.

16:24

aah.. can i install 'gnome-session-fallback' without installing 'ubuntu-desktop' meta package first?
16:24
i should just try it.

Ubuntu Developers Realize Need For Non-3D Desktop
16:36
Rather than maintaining Unity 2D or some other desktop, some developers during the UDS session basically decided to just use Lubuntu, the LXDE version of Ubuntu.
16:36
<andygraybeal>
interesting.
16:36
i'm not saying your making a bad decision, i hope you don't think that... i/m saying that i need to get used to LXDE :)
16:36
i will read the article now
16:39
<alkisg>
As long as there's support for non 3d desktops in gnome, I'll stick to gnome too, but since they're dropping unity-2d and gnome-fallback, I don't see any alternatives...
16:39
Cinnamon also requires 3d, and I'm not sure if mate will be supported longer than unity-2d did
16:44
<gvy>
alkisg, just in case there's also razor-qt
16:45
<alkisg>
gvy: but are there any good non-KDE apps for Qt? Or does it require pulling all the KDE libs in the end, which in turn pull 600 Mb on each login etc?
16:45
(recent KDE versions behave very bad with ltsp)
16:46
I think since nokia dropped qt, the developers are switching away from it...

17:02

okay, i don't undrestand what you said. i was thinking aloud i guess. especially with this 12.10 sends 'search information' to advertisers?

<mikec>
so if im still running Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (precise), i should be able to still run ubuntu-2d right? After I install ubuntu-desktop, I still don't get anything in my sessions drop down menu on the ldm login screen. all i get is the failsafe or default.
19:28
i guess im just really confused as to the point of any of this when there is no good desktop

<mikec>
trying xubuntu right now
19:42
installed xubuntu, booted the thin-client, and still no other option listed in the Sessions pull down menu
19:42
what do I have to do to get this thing to refresh?
19:43
<vagrantc>
installed on the server?
19:43
<mikec>
on the app server yes
19:43
didn't have this issue a few weeks ago
19:43
seems like no matter what i install/remove for desktop managers, this little pull down menu doesn't update anymore
19:44
<vagrantc>
on the server, does /usr/sbin/ldminfod return the appropriate sessions?
19:45
<mikec>
yes
19:45
neat, havent' heard of that little command before
19:45
but still makes me stumped
19:45
<vagrantc>
in your chroot, do you have /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop files?
19:46
the presence of those might trigger it to think it's a fat client.
19:47
<mikec>
checking...
19:47
<vagrantc>
you should be able to force thin-client behavior with LTSP_FATCLIENT=false in lts.conf
19:48
yay. ltsp and ldm were accepted into backports.debian.org ...
19:49
so now you should be able to use the newer LTSP on the current stable version of debian...
