 winston | ok so turns out accessibility stuff broke on gdm with the 50 bump, opened a fix https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/521789 | 02:33:11 |
 emily | this looks like it doesn't make them share a home dir? | 03:17:59 |
| emily | so settings will apply or not depending on which one you roll? | 03:18:13 |
| winston | hm maybe, but with them sharing the home directory I see permission errors in journalctl
and clicking accessibility buttons doesnt do anything, i assume because it cant write that state or access dbus sockets | 03:32:17 |
| emily | the home would need the right permissions to be shared yeah. it sounds kind of awkward | 04:12:20 |
| emily | how is the config saving meant to work when it uses dynamic users? | 04:12:31 |
 9lore | I have no idea if mac users would want to use gnome apps, b ut if thats not the case id say adjust meta.platforms? Id say this would be breaking tho | 05:48:15 |

| winston | I reworded commits on that PR to explain more things as I understand them
I don't think you "roll" a random gdm-greeter each time, for a graphical session you usually get gdm-greeter, the other ones can be used for gnome-remote-desktop system sessions | 15:52:32 |
| winston | I've also added that warning about pulse, figured it can't hurt | 15:52:59 |
| winston | speaking of gnome-remote-desktop, I've played around with patching a few things so you one can use the Gnome Settings panel to manage the user config, rather than having to use grdctl, that was easy enough | 16:07:58 |
| winston | the system-wide service is trickier since it tries writing into etc/systemd/system/graphical.target.wants/gnome-remote-desktop.service | 16:08:57 |
| winston | I guess I could hide that tab to not cause any false expectations that it should work, and update the gnome-remote-desktop nixos module so it does more than just having an enable switch | 16:10:15 |
 ortolanbunting3002 | Could someone please have a look at this? Or tell me where I should go ask for help with this? This is a one line change and I have gotten 0 feedback from anyone in 6 weeks. | 20:10:45 |

| 9lore | btw does papers have feature parity by now? | 02:20:11 |
| winston | i believe so https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Releng/AppOrganization/-/work_items/24 | 08:34:53 |
| winston | evince is still present in the default gnome.nix module via sushi, but that should also soon use glycin and GTK4 | 08:37:21 |
| 9lore | iirc papers became default upstream in 49 | 08:39:14 |
| winston | yep | 08:39:20 |
| winston | thats what the issue i linked is about | 08:39:50 |
| winston | the backport for this hasn't been merged yet, don't think anything's blocking it https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/522872 | 19:18:00 |
