2:07 PM

@jokerdino try again

(I've edited it)

jokerdino

oh

same

Mahesh

@jokerdino +=works only if you have one on either side.

jokerdino

hm?

Mahesh

and the list of lists, you do [[1],[2,3],['nonsense',7],'yuikh'] like thing.

arbitrary combination of elements, elements can be lists.

a=[]

b is a list.

a.append(b) adds b as a member to a.

@jokerdino one variable, one expression.

jokerdino

fix it @amith

Mahesh

2:17 PM

wait... append throws error???

Amith KK

I've fixed that

And I need to go in a few minutes

Mahesh

ok.

Amith KK

damn

Mahesh

you'll get tuples I believe

jokerdino

i am

Mahesh

2:17 PM

list of tuples.

@jokerdino yes, you are?

Amith KK

2:21 PM

Good Luck @Mahesh

jokerdino

tyx

Amith KK

I'll keep an eye on this chat from my mobile

jokerdino

you going off for dinner?

Amith KK

No, I'm going off to "You used too much of the computer today. Now go do something else"

jokerdino

what?

parent filter?

Mahesh

2:23 PM

lolz. :P

Amith KK

Yeah

jokerdino

jeez

Amith KK

Aww this is interesting

I have a feeling this will reach unity

:P

jokerdino

:P

Amith KK

Oh and there is no guarantee this will work

jokerdino

2:25 PM

it better

Amith KK

If this doesen't work, we need to start using gio

jokerdino

bring it on !

Amith KK

5 minutes later jokerdino: Is this even python?

jokerdino

it's not python?

what?

Amith KK

it is

it just looks scary to me :P

jokerdino

2:27 PM

ok then

i can pick up python

Amith KK

@jokerdino pickup line

lol

jokerdino

lol nope

Amith KK

python, will you marry() me?

jokerdino

return NULL

Amith KK

we need something more modular

Mahesh

2:29 PM

??

Amith KK

just doing confman reset unity and be done with it :P

whats going on here?

Random stuff

?!?!?!

?!

wat

BBL

jokerdino

2:30 PM

bye

Mahesh

what are we trying to do here?

jokerdino

reset unity conf

Mahesh

i just got randomly confused.. :(

jokerdino

you are welcome

Mahesh

what does this output?

gsettings list-keys org.compiz.session

jokerdino

2:35 PM

 $ gsettings list-keys org.compiz.session
Schema 'org.compiz.session' is relocatable (path must be specified)

Mahesh

gsettings list-keys org.compiz.session:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/

jokerdino

ignore-match
save-legacy

Mahesh

gsettings reset org.compiz.session:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/ ignore-match

jokerdino

oi

Mahesh

just trying to get the syntax correct

jokerdino

2:37 PM

those things are not activated

Mahesh

???

jokerdino

that plugin is not activated

Mahesh

what do you mean?

jokerdino

never mind.

it showed no error

Mahesh

okay. then it worked.

are you sure about the path? because I have a feeling it must be user specific.

jokerdino

2:39 PM

it doesn't work though

 gsettings reset org.compiz.unityshell:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/ launcher-hide-mode

it does nothing -^

@Mahesh i think so too

Mahesh

and resetting it through dconf-editor works?

jokerdino

yeah

dconf reset  /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/launcher-hide-mode

that works --^

Amith KK

uh

jokerdino

dconf write  /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/launcher-hide-mode 1

Amith KK

we just needed to use dconf

jokerdino

2:41 PM

i did iut

gsettings reset org.compiz.unityshell:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/ launcher-hide-mode

works

gsettings set org.compiz.unityshell:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/ launcher-hide-mode 1

works!!!

Amith KK

ok this script would work

jokerdino

we are going to be popular and awesome

Amith KK

you both are

Mahesh

wait.. why did it fail earlier?

Amith KK

I didn't really help now did I

jokerdino

2:43 PM

@Mahesh no full path

@AmithKK we are a team

Mahesh

:) we started things together. we do things together.

okay, end of senti stuff.

jokerdino

:))

you know, i was the last linking bit :P

Mahesh

so list keys was not being honest.

Amith KK

ok

I think list keys has a verbose mode

Mahesh

whats the problem with using just dconf?

jokerdino

2:45 PM

-v ?

@Mahesh i dont know

the devs say that is not clean

Mahesh

reference?

Amith KK

@mahesh its not well documented

jokerdino

check the bounty quesiton

Mahesh

great.

jokerdino

68

Q: How do I reset my Unity configuration?

I've been messing around with Unity and broke something, how do I "start over"?

Mahesh

2:47 PM

okay.

now, the dirty work.

jokerdino

Amiiiiiiiiiiiiiith.

Mahesh

lets get a list of all keys with full paths.

jokerdino

yeah!

one sec. sipping water

ok back

Mahesh

no neat way of getting full paths from gsettings.

gsettings cares only about schemas.

jokerdino

sigh

Mahesh

2:52 PM

dconf only about paths

and for relocatables, gsettings is a mess when you dont know the path.

jokerdino

fun time

Amith KK

manpage time
awwwwwww

so we use both

jokerdino

<3

yeah. no choice.

Mahesh

spit out dconf dump /org/compiz/profiles/unity/

Amith KK

or use gconf

jokerdino

2:54 PM

dconf dump /org/compiz/profiles/unity/
[/]

Mahesh

gconf is not being used.

jokerdino

@AmithKK gconf is depreciated stuff

Mahesh

@jokerdino thats all?

jokerdino

yeah

Amith KK

:/

Mahesh

2:56 PM

ok guys.

do a manual check of the two starred outputs.

jokerdino

like?

i am a natoob

Mahesh

we need to know if everything in first is covered in someway by second.

@jokerdino so am I

jokerdino

@mahesh, i think if i change something, they show up in that dump

Mahesh

@jokerdino yup. it is a snapshot of your current settings.

jokerdino

in default setting, nothing shows up

yeah

Mahesh

2:57 PM

you can save it to a file and then later dconf load it.

jokerdino

what?

Mahesh

the dconf dump can be used as a backup.

Amith KK

this is going to be in unity right?

Mahesh

dconf load accepts stdin and sets those values.

jokerdino

alright.

@AmithKK yippe

Mahesh

2:59 PM

in exactly the same format.

jokerdino

if not 12.10, def. 13.04

Amith KK

so unity wilare this at first run

Mahesh

dconf reset wipes everything.

Amith KK

*will make

jokerdino

@Mahesh it did

Mahesh

3:00 PM

dconf reset /org/compiz/profiles/unity/ should be clean.

jokerdino

 dconf dump /org/compiz/profiles/unity/
[/]
plugins-with-set-keys=['core', 'composite', 'opengl', 'decor', 'vpswitch', 'snap', 'mousepoll', 'resize', 'place', 'move', 'wall', 'grid', 'session', 'animation', 'fade', 'unitymtgrabhandles', 'workarounds', 'scale', 'expo', 'ezoom', 'unityshell']

Mahesh

it should reset unity, but leave apps untouched.

jokerdino

how do i load from file?

Mahesh

@jokerdino that looks like a clean entry with defaults.

Amith KK

wait a second

jokerdino

3:01 PM

@Mahesh yess

Mahesh

@jokerdino dconf load <file

jokerdino

nope

Amith KK

wwe can just reset compiz's profile

Mahesh

@jokerdino nope as in?

jokerdino

$ dconf load < /home/jokerdino/dconf.settings

(dconf:6936): GLib-WARNING **: (/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.34.0/./glib/gerror.c:390):g_error_new_valist: runtime check failed: (domain != 0)
error: dir not specified

Usage:
  dconf load DIR

Populate a subpath from stdin

Arguments:
  DIR       A directory path (starting and ending with '/')

Amith KK

3:02 PM

no need of any dconf or gsettings

jokerdino

@AmithKK ???

Mahesh

dconf load /org/compiz/profiles/unity/ <file

:P

@AmithKK ??

jokerdino

oh it works!

so we can just do this :P

load the default and stdin it back ;P

Mahesh

and imho, it should be the preferred way.

it just does a clean nice neat reset of just the part that we need.

jokerdino

yeah.

get back to coding minions

Amith KK

3:05 PM

nice

ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/quantal/universe/base/…

Mahesh

@joker dconf list /org/compiz/profiles/unity/

jokerdino

dconf list /org/compiz/profiles/unity/
plugins-with-set-keys

Mahesh

hmm...

jokerdino

i purged it

Mahesh

the only nice and neat way is to use dconf.

jokerdino

3:06 PM

it's the default value

Mahesh

i cant see how gsettings would be better.

@jokerdino I want you to change all keys to nondefault values under /org/compiz/profiles/unity/ and dump again.

jokerdino

oi

dconf dump /org/compiz/profiles/unity/

@mah -^

not everything but whatever i can

Mahesh

@jokerdino the difference?

jokerdino

what difference?

Mahesh

that gives us the full paths. :D

@jokerdino what do you mean when you say not everything?

jokerdino

3:12 PM

there are so many settings to change in ccsm

Mahesh

you skipped somethings or they were not editable?

ok.

jokerdino

i didn't edit all but just a few

Mahesh

so, this thing gives us full paths.

wait a sec.

jokerdino

i can't default it

dconf load /org/compiz/profiles/unity/ < default.txt

no workie -^

cat default.txt

Mahesh

load adds the values.

one sec

got the beast. :D

jokerdino

3:17 PM

;D

ok so

Mahesh

/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/<plugin-name>/<key> is the structure.

jokerdino

go on

Mahesh

gsettings reset <schema>:<path> key

is what we should do.

jokerdino

example?

Mahesh

the path will be /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/plugin-name

gsettings reset org.compiz.unityshell:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/ launcher-hide-mode

^that should work.

jokerdino

3:19 PM

win

didn't i post that earlier?

Mahesh

yup. you posted it earlier.

jokerdino

38 mins ago, by jokerdino

gsettings reset org.compiz.unityshell:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/ launcher-hide-mode

okay.

Mahesh

tell me another property.

i'll give the gsettings reset command.

jokerdino

zz

emblem in scale

icons, scale --> emblem

Mahesh

gsettings reset org.compiz.scale:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/scale/ emblem

emblem is the key name, right?

jokerdino

3:22 PM

emblem is not a property. it is the setting

Mahesh

the key name is?

jokerdino

overlay-icon

Mahesh

gsettings reset org.compiz.scale:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/scale/ overlay-icon

jokerdino

win

Mahesh

ok, now I have the pattern.

jokerdino

3:23 PM

cool

Mahesh

all that remains is to get a list of all keys.

that, gimme a minute.

jokerdino

sure

Mahesh

gsettings list-keys org.compiz.scale:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/

gsettings list-keys org.compiz.scale:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/scale

Mahesh

I'll do it.

jokerdino

3:26 PM

ok get started

Amith KK

how goes it

jokerdino

almost done

just need to do the scripting

awesome

yeah ;p

good work @Mahesh

3:32 PM

@jokerdino do you see scaleaddon in dconf?

@AmithKK :D thanks. I just got lucky.

jokerdino

i resetted and so no

Mahesh

use dconf-editor

jokerdino

when reset, no

but when i modify from ccsm, then yes

Mahesh

oh.. I see.

try modifying.

jokerdino

hm

when modified yes

Mahesh

3:35 PM

does dconf dump show it when modified?

jokerdino

yeah

@jokerdino what do you mean?

jokerdino

 gsettings list-keys org.compiz.scaleaddons:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/
No such schema 'org.compiz.scaleaddons'

Amith KK

I'm back

jokerdino

@Mahesh i think they removed that plugin in quantal

Mahesh

good. then list-relocatable-schemas shouldn't show it.

but it does. :(

jokerdino

:(

Mahesh

3:38 PM

gsettings list-relocatable-schemas |grep org.compiz.scaleaddons

jokerdino

yeah positive

Mahesh

thats a positive, right?

jokerdino

yesh

Mahesh

okay. I got a workaround.

jokerdino

good

Mahesh

3:39 PM

@AmithKK etherpad mightr be useful. we can code together.

jokerdino

oi @amith

Amith KK

Wait a second

@Mahesh amithkk.com:9001/p/js15ETIZyL

jokerdino

no resolve

Mahesh

I get it fine.

jokerdino

never mind

hm still no resolve

can you put it on port 80 @amith?

do ir eplace?

I use 4 spaces per tab and autoreplace tabs. Amith uses tabs.

python thinks tabs are 8 spaces each.

did it do the trick?

copy paste properly.

ypu moved a quote from line 5 at the end of word composite to line 7 after plugin.

okk

3:56 PM

lot of keys. spawning processes takes time. one process per key.

bad way.

Amith KK

Wait what

@jokerdino works? :D

why so many processes

one more time testing

yayayaya
