Amith KK

@Mahesh I'll give you a deb in a few minutes

Mahesh

#!/usr/bin/python

    resetter="gsettings reset-recursively "+schema+":"+path+"/"
    out,err=subprocess.Popen(resetter,shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()

jokerdino

hurry

faile

fail

Mahesh

4:01 PM

this. is. bad.

jokerdino

ath must not contain two adjacent slashes (//)
Path must not contain two adjacent slashes (//)

Mahesh

umm... wait what?

oops. my bad.

then thats the previous one.

#!/usr/bin/python

    resetter="gsettings reset-recursively "+schema+":"+path
    out,err=subprocess.Popen(resetter,shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()

okay. if this doesn't work, the dirty way is all we have.

Amith KK

@Mahesh Change Popen with call

Mahesh

looks like gsettings reset-recursively is not well

Amith KK

you dont need output now

Mahesh

4:05 PM

umm.. yup.

Amith KK

Wait a second, why are you accepting it as a variable

just run it

Mahesh

I was trying something else earlier.

yup, I dont need the output and stuff.

Amith KK

subprocess.call(resetter,shell=true)

Mahesh

you dont even need the shell option.

Amith KK

Yes you do

Mahesh

4:07 PM

#!/usr/bin/python

plugins=['core', 'composite', 'opengl', 'decor', 'vpswitch', 'snap', 'mousepoll', 'resize', 'place', 'move', 'wall', 'grid', 'session', 'animation', 'fade', 'unitymtgrabhandles', 'workarounds', 'scale', 'expo', 'ezoom', 'unityshell']
for plugin in plugins:
    schema='org.compiz.'+plugin
    path="/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/"+plugin+"/"
    resetter="gsettings reset-recursively "+schema+":"+path
    subprocess.call(resetter,shell=True)

oops.

Amith KK

otherwise that will fail

your not splitting up the command and the arguments

Mahesh

yup. I get it.

just checked.

@jokerdino if the above one doesn't work, we'll need to go back to the bad way.

the dirty version:

#!/usr/bin/python
import subprocess
plugins=['core', 'composite', 'opengl', 'decor', 'vpswitch', 'snap', 'mousepoll', 'resize', 'place', 'move', 'wall', 'grid', 'session', 'animation', 'fade', 'unitymtgrabhandles', 'workarounds', 'scale', 'expo', 'ezoom', 'unityshell']
for plugin in plugins:
    schema='org.compiz.'+plugin
    n="gsettings list-keys "+schema+":/org/compiz/profiles/unity/"
    out,err=subprocess.Popen(n,shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE).communicate()
    keys=out.splitlines()
    path="/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/"+plugin+"/"

so, what say @AmithKK ?

Amith KK

We need someone to test it

hold on

penreturn

how to test?

Amith KK

@penreturn Your on 12.10?

penreturn

4:14 PM

both

Mahesh

penreturn

yup

Mahesh

@AmithKK shall we try?

Amith KK

Just paste the script above to a .py file @penreturn

penreturn

Mahesh

4:17 PM

penreturn

then

Amith KK

run it

Mahesh

python filename.py

does anything happen?

Amith KK

@Mahesh amithkk.com:9001/p/test.py

Mahesh

how do you setup a local etherpad instance?

penreturn

4:24 PM

nothing

Mahesh

how do we know if it worked or not? :|

penreturn

:3

Mahesh

@penreturn did you have any fancy customisations like autohiding launcher, or stuff?

penreturn

no

fresh install

Mahesh

if you had any, they should be gone.

penreturn

4:26 PM

ohhh

Mahesh

ok. then it wont make any difference.

set launcher to autohide for example and try again. it should get reset when you run this.

Amith KK

Mahesh

penreturn

4:36 PM
