New ubuntu-unity iso

Desktop Ubuntu Unity Development

Ah. Sorry about that. I just need to recompile all packages in the ppa. But Dale, I think we should wait for vino sharing screen merge for unity-control-center.

64

Can you do away with vino?

65

I just updated those files. We didnā€™t merge.fix/release until a month before the last release -but anyways ā€¦ there they are. So I agree with how you are structuring all of this.

Thank you for the update.

Hi all,

mac4man from UbuntuForums has created a ppa with experimental demo for a file manager called nemo. I have tested it and it works very fine. Khurshid and I talked about that we could use it for 18.10 development release cycle but since it is so stable I think we can do some pre-testing for any one who wishes to do so. You can go to the RoadmapLink and click on NemoDemo and do it manually or wait until I build a new ISO with nemo pre-installed.

Regardsā€¦

Dale, hasnā€™t this bug already been fixed? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1716986

68

No. Not that I know of. I fixed unity-greeter and unity-control-center version update and was about to look at gnome-session. Thing is , since the meta-package, I have been using the unity7 ppa and lightdm standalone and not installing unity-session. The logo is not on the standalone unity7 installs either. I will look at it.

Sidenote: Am currently uploading image file with nemo installed.

@khurshid-alam

The last time I was in gnome-session I edited in /unity_recommend_zeitgeist/ and I canā€™t find the pointer file to which bug you are referring. Can you point me to the name of the file I need to look at? or Iā€™ll ask seb.

69

Uploaded new image file with nemo in the archive.

ubuntu-unity-nemo-amd64.iso

  • Live: Open terminal Ctrl+alt+t and enter nemo then lock to launcher. The same proceedure for full install.

The bug is about to have a logo for unity at lightdm + unity-greeter login. Something like this:
http://ubuntuguide.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/unity-greeter-sessions.jpg

I am not sure where this logo comes from. @jbicha do you have any idea?

71

/usr/share/unity-greeter cof.png

Itā€™s being called by ligthdm but there are a lot of files in there so I am trying to track it down.

72

Yes. But how do we make unity-session use that logo? May be by changing /usr/share/xsessions/unity.desktop ? Gtk greeter can be changed from /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf. But not sure about unity-greeter.

73

Yes ā€¦ it is being called by lightdm so it must be commented out when they switch default to gnome3 or somthing to that effect. Im looking at lightdm(n) now.

lightdm (1.24.0-0ubuntu1) artful; urgency=medium

lightdm (1.22.0-0ubuntu6) artful; urgency=medium

  * debian/lightdm.config: When upgrading to this version, don't show the DM
    selection prompt. We're trying to suppress the prompt and switch Ubuntu
    desktop users to gdm3 smoothly, but lightdm's prompt is showing up as gdm3
    is on the system when lightdm.config is executed. This means that if there
    is a situation when upgraders to this version *should* be shown the
    prompt, they won't be. If that is the case, we'll need to think again
    about how to implement this.

@khurshid-alam

Iā€™m fishing through a plethora of filesā€¦ so perhaps we should wait if @jbicha or someone else gets back to us. Could be that they assigned the *.png to a function and it could be being called form another session-type completely.

Hi Robert,

We sure could use your help with this:

77

You can distribute an icon for the unity session by shipping the file /usr/share/unity-greeter/custom_unity_badge.png in the same package as the /usr/share/xsessions/unity.desktop file. Or modify Unity Greeter to add it to the hard-coded list.

See http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-greeter-team/unity-greeter/trunk/view/head:/src/session-list.vala#L127

Thanks Robert. I will modify the source and unity to the list.
