 p14 | Oh, apologies for my mistake; I'm struggling to explain why I'm not getting debug output for bin/gdm in the display manager process. | 21:26:55 |
| p14 | I think I must have hallucinated this incorrect point from somewhere. | 21:27:19 |
 ElvishJerricco | p14: When I set services.xserver.displayManager.gdm.debug and services.xserver.desktopManager.gnome.debug I get debug output | 21:27:25 |
| ElvishJerricco | I am glad those exist because at one point either they didn't or I didn't know about them and getting debug output was proving impossible :P | 21:27:49 |
| p14 | I have those set. I have less debug output than I am expecting. I am experimenting with multi-seat and trying to determine why the second seat hangs immediately during login | 21:27:53 |
| p14 | Unfortunately it also produces no log messages. Maybe because it is hanging so early in the process? | 21:28:11 |
| p14 | I've found a helpful soul who is trying to help me to get it to working but they're claiming I'm missing logs. | 21:28:33 |
| p14 | (Which I'd believe because there are so few of them) | 21:28:38 |
| p14 | I'm sort of beginning to think this second seat's gdm is just not producing logs and I don't understand why | 21:29:41 |
| p14 | Right, there isn't a gdm-per-seat, it's just the one gdm... 🤔 | 21:30:58 |
 Salt | okay, new question about extensions... what is the timeline from merge of backport PR to actually being in nixpkgs? | 22:23:32 |
 Alyssa Ross | couple of days | 22:24:37 |
| Salt | kay, will try to be a bit more patient before checking whether a specific extension is breaking | 22:25:15 |
| Alyssa Ross | (assuming backport to a release branch, not to staging) | 22:25:18 |
| Salt | yeah, it appears to be a release backport | 22:25:51 |
| Salt | * yeah, it appears to be a release backport, merged 2 days ago | 22:27:16 |
| Salt | I just saw this comment while trying to track down a different package's backport state and was wondering it is the general consensus?
I don't think any of the GNOME packagers use stable so you are on your own testing the changes :-)
| 23:45:29 |
| Salt | hmm, is there a good reference for how packages pass through nix generally so I can potentially avoid some of these questions?
For instance I notice that when updating extensions the bot automatically opened a backport PR, however there is a large set of updates that was merged a couple weeks ago that doesn't appear to have a PR. And I presume without the backports PR things will only be available in unstable until the next release. So what steps can be taken to open a backports PR if one wasn't automatically generated? | 23:51:12 |

| ElvishJerricco | Is there a way to tell gnome to wake the screen from a udev rule? I've got a udev rule that does loginctl lock-sessions when I unplug my yubikey, but I also want it to wake the display when I plug it in. This particular machine would not be expected to be suspended. | 07:51:12 |
 uep | https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html is very helpful for such cases | 21:31:02 |

 Jan Tojnar | yes, that is correct. I try to add labels for auto-backports when it makes sense and when someone pings me, merge PRs to stable, but otherwise I avoid stable-related stuff | 00:38:31 |
| Jan Tojnar | I also usually ignore extension PRs for the same reason (testing them is time consuming) | 00:40:43 |
| Jan Tojnar | I would expect some D-Bus API to work. There is SimulateUserActivity on org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver but it appears g-s-d does not implement it | 00:47:36 |
| Jan Tojnar | maybe Inhibit would disable the screensaver even if already active? | 00:48:32 |
|  SigmaSquadron changed their display name from SigmaSquadron (Away until 2024-01-12) to SigmaSquadron (Away until 2024-01-11). | 22:15:45 |
| Salt | very cool, thanks | 22:36:10 |
| Salt | okay, well what would the best steps be for getting the changes made in this PR to be backported? | 22:38:13 |
| Salt | most importantly, Nautilus 74.1 fixes a fairly major bug that is triggered when resized using keys | 22:39:31 |
| Jan Tojnar | added a tag, let’s see if auto-backport works | 22:39:37 |
| Salt | * most importantly, Nautilus 47.1 fixes a fairly major bug that is triggered when resized using keys | 22:39:44 |
