| Thatoo | Hello, I'm new to nixos and so far so good but I encounter an issue right now, spell check on all gnome apps are not working as the only available language is Hebrew (I don't know why hebrew as I set everything to french). Spell check work perfectly in Libreoffice and Thunderbird. | 16:30:23 |
| Thatoo | Should I add Enchant in environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
? | 16:34:08 |
| Thatoo | Well I tried. I even addedall three
enchant
hunspell
hunspellDicts.fr-any
and it didn't help at all, even after a reboot...

 ElvishJerricco | hmm something I wanted to try with gnome 46 was the experimental vrr support.
$ gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['variable-refresh-rate']"
No such schema “org.gnome.mutter”
Is this not a thing I can do with the branch right now?
| 04:59:02 |
| ElvishJerricco | oh, duh, I just have to do it with dconf | 05:02:42 |
| ElvishJerricco | no big deal | 05:02:44 |
| ElvishJerricco | and it works! | 05:02:47 |
| ElvishJerricco | though, in some cases this can be quite annoying: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1154#stutter-in-cursor-movement-with-passively-updating-fullscreen-clients | 05:26:25 |
 maxine (they/them) | I've been waiting for VRR to land in GNOME as an excuse to replace my monitor, but I am thinking of waiting one or two more cycles | 12:05:04 |
| maxine (they/them) | The only major blocker right now is IMO jxl support in gdk-pixbuf | 12:16:27 |

? You cannot generally expect installing extensions through environment.systemPackages to work. Libreoffice is patched to support finding dictionaries there but it is not a general thing. | 12:55:37 |
| Jan Tojnar | The Hebrew spellcheck is hspell enchant links against. If you want other languages, you will probably need to set DICPATH environment variable as described in https://discourse.nixos.org/t/aspell-dictionaries-are-not-available-to-enchant/39254 | 12:56:09 |

oh, duh, I just have to do it with dconf Yeah, we intentionally do not expose schemas globally (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/33277) | 12:57:12 |

 uep | 46 seems to be working well, other than breaking the pop-shell extension (no tiling is doing my head in, aaargh!) | 23:50:10 |

| SebTM | Hey, posting here for visability:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/300634
This bug really drove me crazy fixing my windows all the time - would be cool if it gets merged/backported before v46 relesed on nixos | 09:04:12 |

46 seems to be working well, other than breaking the pop-shell extension (no tiling is doing my head in, aaargh!) How soon is a merge planned? | 09:05:28 |
| maxine (they/them) | Good question. We have to at minimum wait until the next staging-next cycle IMO, but maybe we should land 46 via staging anyway - 24.05 is still far enough away. | 09:32:49 |
| maxine (they/them) | Basically besides libjxl support being a blocker (and currently existing in staging), I think there's no other problems right now. Still need to write release notes too, I suppose. | 09:33:59 |

 nadir | Tha's great to hear. Thank you for all your effort! | 19:46:37 |
| maxine (they/them) | Somewhat pertinent question I guess to merging 46 and requesting people test this - where do I request a hydra jobset be added for the gnome branch? cc Jan Tojnar since I figure you definitely know | 22:28:38 |

| maxine (they/them) | Thanks! All help is welcome. There are some notes in the PR description as to what should be mentioned | 23:27:14 |
