* Add patch to allow setting volume above 100%: - debian/patches/70_allow_sound_above_100.patch, which allows the volume slider in the aggregatemenu to reflect and set correct current volume position. (LP: #1706524) * Add debian/patches/50_add_ubuntu_desktop_detect.patch to centralize current desktop detection. -- Didier Roche <didro...@ubuntu.com> Wed, 16 Aug 2017 08:29:17 +0200 ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1706524 Title: Enable switch option to set volume above 100% from media keys and gnome shell UI Status in GNOME Settings Daemon: Confirmed Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-session package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Some devices have very office-oriented hardware and so, low volume power speakers. The normal usage can make the sound unhearable on those configurations. We added in u-c-c an option to switch it above 100%, per max volume capability, and unity was picking up this value in its indicator and u-s-d. We desire thus to bring the same experience in the new ubuntu GNOME Shell session: gnome-control-center have a slider enabling setting the volume above 100%, however, this settings is only available in that panel, and if you use the media key or the GNOME Shell controls, volume is reset at 100% at max. Upstream GNOME doesn't seem to have genuine interests in enabling that feature (see the discussion on the linked bug report). The proposal is thus: - only enabling that feature in the *ubuntu* sessions. Don't let the sound (even if the key was enabled in the ubuntu session) goes above 100% in the gnome sessions to preserve upstream desired experience. - reuse the same gsettings key (as long as it's not upstream) as we used to have. Easy migrations, user's setting preservation and such - add this switch to gnome-control-center - modify GNOME Shell agregate menu (volume settings) to represent the % in the volume slider corresponding to actual setting. We approach this as a distro patch and not an extension. The extension approach was hacky (overriding a callback, copying logic), and may work badly with well-designed other extensions. Hence this untrusive distro-patch. - patch gnome-settings-daemon volume plugin for respecting this settings in the global OSD and react to media keys - add a dependency from the ubuntu-session package on the schema, as reading the schema is conditioned on the session name.
