 piegames | I think the most important change was the Gtk3 -> Gtk4 migration? And also the new overview, for all extensions that had their fingers in it | 11:02:51 |

Josh Ponelat: I think not so much changed between 3.38 and 40 for extensions, so often it might be sufficient to just add 40.0 to shell-versions in metadata.json. That is basically how Pop_OS! Shell added GNOME 40 support and that is probably the most complex extension out there: https://github.com/pop-os/shell/commit/0143b0b5eb14291cbd9e0b8328eeec93c4871ba9 Thank you kindly! I'll look into that (and yeah, I'm interested in pop shell too 🙂 ) | 11:03:41 |

 maxine (they/them) | How does nix deal with packaging things that have circular dependencies? I am looking at bumping gupnp, but through gssdp it depends on gtk4 now, which ends up eventually depending gupnp again (via gst-plugins-bad). Is the solution providing some sort of "minimal" gtk4 derivation to get things untied? | 23:52:50 |
| 24 Jul 2021 |
 symphorien | That or you could make the gtk unwrapped derivation a distinct attribute set. I suppose that the dependency on gst only comes through wrapGappsHook ? | 02:52:13 |

|  Sridhar Ratnakumar changed their display name from srid (on hiatus) to srid. | 01:28:10 |
| maxine (they/them) | symphorien: I don't think so, it looks like 4.x depends on gst_all_1.gst-plugins-bad explicitly | 17:54:57 |
| symphorien | Hum weird | 17:55:42 |
| maxine (they/them) | But also we set -Dmedia-gstreamer=disabled? I'm not quite sure I understand tbh | 17:59:12 |
| maxine (they/them) | Oh, only on darwin | 18:00:15 |
| maxine (they/them) | I guess we need a media-backend-free derivation for the sake of gupnp/gssdp then | 18:01:16 |

 hpfr | how can I use gnome x11 on NixOS? was looking for an option or something | 02:31:06 |
 Zhaofeng Li | Not using GNOME right now so can't check, but it should be an option in the cogwheel menu in gdm | 02:40:20 |
| hpfr | do I need non-wayland gdm? | 02:40:18 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Wayland gdm should show it as well | 02:40:36 |
| hpfr | ok I'll look | 02:40:53 |
| hpfr | are there things I can do in my config to e.g. dynamically switch firefox packages depending on which session is launched? | 02:41:43 |
| Zhaofeng Li | If you are talking about MOZ_USE_WAYLAND, I think it *should* work in X11 as well (it just won't use wayland)? | 02:43:55 |

| hpfr | debugging game performance issues | 02:48:35 |
| hpfr | I'm getting significantly better perf in gta on i3 than gnome wayland, want to try sway and gnome X11 as well to see if I can narrow things down a bit | 02:49:52 |

| papojari | I dunno why but I suddenly can't launch GNOME apps anymore. GNOME Terminal, GNOME Chaarcters, Geary, ... all don't launch. I don't get any errors when starting in the terminal. | 22:16:42 |
| papojari | Also GDM doesn't show any users and resets my default option for the window manager/desktop environment. | 22:19:31 |
