Re: Are there any plans to palliate the interface shift on the transition from Unity to GNOME Shell?

[Alfredo Hernández]

In short, we are considering shipping​ a few extensions by default (nothing
crazy; Dash to Dock and a couple more) to both improve a bit the UX, with
the goal to ease the transition from Unity (also some of the criticisms​ on
GNOME Shell are fair). But this still has to be studied further.

Cheers,
Alfredo

Extensions are a huge attraction of Gnome. They let you tweak the desktop
to your liking. For example, this extension
 displays the
taskbar by default. Perhaps a short how-to guide can be shown upon boot-up
for new Ubuntu installations.

I believe that with good on-boarding documentation and some open-minded
experimentation, users will be able to make the shift smoothly.

Re: Fwd: Re: Proposal to drop 32-bit Ubuntu GNOME support after 18.04 LTS

[Alfredo Hernández]

As Pander has stated, a notice in future releases (17.10 and 18.04 LTS) of
the 32-bit version would be ideal.

As ideal as it would be to support a 32-bit ISO, our resources are limited
and realistically, 32-bit-only hardware will run much smoother on XFCE,
LXDE, or MATE.

Cheers,
Alfredo

Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.2 LTS Released

[Alfredo Hernández]

The Ubuntu GNOME team is proud to announce the release of Ubuntu GNOME
16.04.2 LTS. This update is recommended for all users.

As usual, this point release includes many updates, and updated
installation media has been provided so that fewer updates will need
to be downloaded after installation.  These include security updates
and corrections for other high-impact bugs, with a focus on
maintaining stability and compatibility with Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS.

Further maintenance updates will be provided periodically until April 2019.

What's New
===

If you have previously installed 16.04.1, all you need to do to opt in
to the new kernel is install linux-generic-hwe-16.04. The new graphics
drivers are just regular updates; no need to install anything else.

GNOME Maps has been included in Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.2.

Where to Get It
===

To download Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.2, visit:

https://ubuntugnome.org/download/

We recommend that all users read the 16.04.2 Release Notes, which
document caveats and workarounds for known issues, as well as more
in-depth notes on the release itself.  They are available at:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuGNOME

If you have a question, or if you think you may have found a bug but
aren't sure, you can try asking in any of the following places:

#ubuntu-gnome on irc.freenode.net
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome
https://askubuntu.com

On behalf of the Ubuntu GNOME team,

Re: Wiki Updates

[Alfredo Hernández]

Thanks for helping, Awjin!

Actually, one of our plans with the new website (our web dev guy has been
busy lately, thus the delay) is to move the wiki infrastructure to
self-hosted wiki page (using MediaWiki most probably). This will allow us
to have better control over the users that can edit it (we would use a
Launchpad
Team  team to give the
proper access to it) and to simplify the localisation/translation process
(I think we all agree that Ubuntu's wiki is a hell in that aspect).

Anyway, the changes and improvements are much welcome! I wouldn't bother
too much with CSS (actually, I'm pretty sure you can't edit it in
wiki.ubuntu.com).

We are not exactly sure *when *will our own wiki become a thing, but when
it does, I'll let you know to help us in the process (feel free to join our
Slack channels, just ask me and I'll invite you). I think it's safe to
reorganise the current wiki, as it will ease the migration process when
time is due.

Cheers,
Alfredo

PS. I've been digging a bit in the wiki and I love how you've simplified
some of the pages :D

[Anouncement] Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 released!

[Alfredo Hernández]

The Ubuntu GNOME team is proud to announce Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 is ready to
download!!

Tons of apps have been updated to 3.22, Videos, Maps, Photos, Books, and so
much more. The core system (GTK+, GNOME Shell, Control Center and Nautilus)
is still at 3.20 for stability reasons.

Re: Who is the Project Leader?

[Alfredo Hernández]

Hi, Gabor

The Project Leader is Tim Lunn.

I imagine you are contacting us for the possibility of selling Ubuntu GNOME
T-shirts in HELLOTUX . As the Marketing Team
Leader, I'll be more than happy to continue this project as well. I don't
know if Ali mentioned it at the time, but one thing that keeps us from
selling T-shirts (and stickers, for instance) is the Trademark Agreement we
have with GNOME.

I guess it would be alright to sell T-shirts with just the roundel symbol,
but obviously, being able to work with the whole logo would be ideal in
terms of flexibility for both you and us.

Tim Lunn right now is busy relocating, and this is something we should
definitely discuss with him; we'll let you know when he comes back from his
break.

Cheers,
Alfredo

Re: Eager to help

[Alfredo Hernández]

Welcome! Don't worry about the wiki, it's been blocked for almost everyone
because there's been a trolling situation these days.
We are actually going to totally restructure the wiki (as we are also
restructuring the teams' organisation), so don't bother trying adding
yourself to the list right now.

Currently, we are using Slack  for our communications;
I've sent you an invitation to join the Ubuntu Team there, you'll find us
in the #gnome channel.

Cheers!

[Update your systems] Important kernel update

[Alfredo Hernández]

As you may have already seen in our social media channels, Canonical
published a new security notice to inform the community about the
availability of an important kernel update for the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial
Xerus) operating system that patched 15 vulnerabilities.

*If you are using Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS, you should update your system as
soon as possible*. If you're not offered the dialogue about updates, click
on *Activities* and type in updates in the search bar that will appear.
Then select *Software Updater* and follow the prompts. You will need to
reboot after this update.

[Wiki] Translation Status

[Alfredo Hernández]

Hi all,

Recently we've been planing restructuring the wiki (
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME) to ease its readability and reduce the
amount of sub-pages (we have more than 180 pages, which is a lot). For
instance, downloading the ISO from the wiki (which won't be necessary any
more with the new website, anyway) shouldn't be a 10-ish-click long
process; the same could be said for the process of joining the community.

Having said that, *we ask our translation team members to stop translating
the wiki.* The reason behind it is that we don't know yet what information
is gonna survive the makeover and we don't want you to waste your time in
something that may be deleted in the near future;
*the Release Notes are always important, so keep translating them.*

Thanks for all your help in making Ubuntu GNOME better. Keep tuned for more
information.

Cheers,
Alfredo

Re: translation error ubiquity-slideshow nb-no

There's a delay between the code in Launchpad.net and the actual code in

Re: Unable to edit Ubuntu Gnome wiki

[Alfredo Hernández]

Are you able to edit any page at all or the issue is just for the Korean
ones? I just tried it and I have the ability to edit them, and
theoretically anyone should be. For instance, just updated the Korean
Header to stop showing the Brainstorming page (as it's no longer used):
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Header/Korean

Maybe it has something to do with your browser.

Cheers!

Re: Slack

[Alfredo Hernández]

Any updates about this?

Has Slack been set up for Ubuntu GNOME? Are there any (unlimited + free)
alternatives?

Ali has a point, Slack (and similar products) are just better for dealing
with large teams, allowing natively to set up schedules, tasks, etc.

Re: Slack

[Alfredo Hernández]

Some people choose GNU/Linux because it works better, simple as that. The
purpose and inception of Ubuntu GNOME was not to offer a free desktop, but
a desktop that works better than the alternatives.

Any way, thanks Andrés for your concern in this (not) potential issue! We

Re: [Planning - Email #3] Changes to the structure of Ubuntu GNOME sub-teams

Hi Ali,

Shouldn't we update the Wiki pages and the Launchpad teams (when possible,
as stated by Tim in his first response) to the new structure?

Cheers.

Re: Curtains off

[Alfredo Hernández]

Installing LightDM should be relatively easy. I haven't tried it, but some
distros (e.g., Antergos) ship GNOME Shell with it instead of GDM.

Re: Image size limit

[Alfredo Hernández]

Actually it's quite hard to find 1GB USB Keys (I've personally tried to buy
1GB pen drives precisely to fit LiveUSBs of different distros). Having said
that, I agree about increasing the limit, but we should always have in mind
that not everyone has fast Internet access, so it's always good to keep the
size as small as humanly possible.

Cheers,
Alfredo

Re: Dedicated to the drivers/leaders of Ubuntu GNOME sub-teams

[Alfredo Hernández]

I also prefer to send a quick report. I've been surprisingly free these
past days, but I'm working full-time this week helping my father to build
his new house, so I won't be available at a reasonable time in Australia
(I'm UTC - 4 or so right now, and I don't want you to stay awake late,
Ali).

Right now I'm leaving to buy some construction materials and I won't be
home till evening probably. I'll write the report when I get home, unless I
return home to hear something different from this list.

Re: Wallpaper Submission for 15.10 Release

Thanks for your email, Noah. As Ali said, we haven't started yet the
community wallpapers competition. I'll make sure you post the wallpaper
where it belongs to when time comes. In case I forgot to let you know
personally, you can always check our social media sites to be aware when
the contest begins.

Thanks again for your contribution.

Re: Call for a meeting (IRC/Hangout)

[Alfredo Hernández]

We stay with this system because it simply works. You see, the core members
of the team are spread around the world (from America to Australia), we
need a communication system that is open and simple to use at any time of
the day by anyone around the world. We have experience with this and we
know which communication systems work and which do not. I'm sorry man, but
you are not entitled to come here and tell us that the MO that has worked
for us for years doesn't work. Sure, hangouts and voice meetings in general
are very handy (and we use them from time to time when it's justified), but
it's impossible to have a voice meeting with more than 10 people at the
same time (hell, it's even a pain in the arse in a face-to-face meeting);
IRC works perfect in this matter:


   - It relatively destroys the time barrier. Any person can make the
   effort to stay late or wake up earlier than usual and attend a chat; we
   won't force any member to stay awake till 2/3 in the morning to have video

I'm not here to make waves or criticize.

But that's precisely what you have been doing over the past e-mails.
There's a huge difference between giving useful criticism as a new member
and just telling us we are doing things wrongly and when we refuse
your *advices,
*you plainly say we're going through the Küber-Ross stages of grief.
Really? I thought we were all adults here.

Re: Feedback Results

[Alfredo Hernández]

I feel terribly sorry for not being able to watch the video any sooner. Any
way, *talking as the the Artwork Team*, I'm glad to see what the users
think about the visuals (and that makes us rethink all our previous
philosophy about what the Ubuntu GNOME desktop experience really means) I
think we will totally deliver; this cycle will ship the new logo,
(probably) the new website, new wallpapers, etc. And *we have big plans for
16.04 LTS* (but that totally belongs to another e-mail and to the future,
mostly).

Thanks for your constant work, Ali.

Cheers.

Re: [Artwork] Ubuntu GNOME - the new logo by Patrik Bubak

[Alfredo Hernández]

Sorry guys, but the whole point of having an Artwork and Design Team is to
work in this stuff. The proposals have no purpose; we have a ton of things,
both design wise and legal wise to do the logo as we are doing it.

Please understand, I'm not saying that feedback is not appreciated; it
totally is. But we need constructive criticism, not "I'll totally ignore
what you have been working for months and throw my two-minute proposal",
that's totally unproductive to us as a community and specifically for our
team.

Cheers,
Alfredo

Re: Duplicate Sublime Text icon in Dash

[Alfredo Hernández]

This is definitely a problem with Sublime Text. Another way to reproduce
this issue is to restart the environment (Alt+F2 and type r). I can't help
you with the technical details, but, some other apps behave (or used to)
like that; one that comes to my mind is Chrome (older versions, I reckon).

I hope someone can help you find a solution to this issue.

Alfredo

Re: default applications for 15.10

[Alfredo Hernández]

Leo, you can't set the music library and never will (at least from GNOME
Music itself) because it's Tracker the daemon that takes care of everything.

I agree on Photos; it's still very basic, but that should end really soon
(see
https://github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/blob/master/photos/wires-editing.png
).

Re: default applications for 15.10

[Alfredo Hernández]

I have mixed feelings about GNOME Music, but in terms of UX, it just kills
it; it's dead simple and it just works.
I like GNOME Photos, a lot, but I don't know if 3.16 is good enough
(comparing with the 3.18/20 image editing stuff) as an alternative to
Shotwell.

In my opinion, just go for it. Replacing Rhythmbox and Shotwell would also
help us killing some dependencies, which is always thanked.

Cheers.

Sorry Charlie, but you've lost months of discussion and legal problems.
Using the GNOME foot is not something my team will do.

And BTW, Tim using the GNOME font is alright, as it is accompanied by a
variety of other elements (actually, IIRC, they were very explicit in
making sure we used it).

 I'm new to the group, so have no knowledge of previous discussions. All
 I can say, from one user's perspective, is that the present logo is
 excellent. The footprint says 'gnome' and the circle says 'ubuntu'. I'm
 even planning of making myself a t-shirt with just the logo. Obviously,
 this just one person's subjective opinion.

 *Charlie*

Re: Getting Involved

[Alfredo Hernández]

Welcome aboard, Charlie!

I don't know what our "official" position about Official Tutorials is, but
I think it would be brilliant. If Tim and Ali (the "bosses" :P) think it
would be a good idea, then you can count on us (the Artwork Team) for any
related material you may need for the videos.

Cheers,
Alfredo.

Re: Feedback Time

[Alfredo Hernández]

I agree with Julien. Our purpose is to give a pure GNOME experience. The
average user doesn't care if they are using Totem or VLC, they want a Video
Player and they will most probably have only one video player installed.

All right, it's fine if you use the (not already) old logo, then. Good luck
with your paper.

Re: HiDPI issues

Not really. They depend on the version of GTK/Qt the actual program uses.
Ideally it would work as you say, but I don't know if that's doable for
technical reasons.

Re: HiDPI issues

I reckon most if these errors are because of GTK+2. All of the issues
you've listed seem to be directly related to apps not updated to GTK+3.

Re: 3.16 Legacy Notifications

[Alfredo Hernández]

This is how the GNOME folks felt it was better to be implemented. There's
nothing we can do about it.
I don't really see how the Dash to Dock is broken with the systray
implementation. It works pretty well here.

Cheers.

Re: Ubuntu GNOME new logo concept (preview)

[Alfredo Hernández]

Yeah, that's a serious problem. We can't use a logo that can only be used
in a very specific way, and even if we did, we cannot guarantee that
external people are going to use it properly. But yes, you are technically
right.

BTW, what do you think about Patrik's concept?

The old one can't be used. We've explained the legal reasons behind it tons
of times.

Re: Ubuntu GNOME new logo concept (preview)

[Alfredo Hernández]

We've talked a lot about this and the GNOME foot is so specific that is
becomes almost impossible to create something that reminds the shape whilst
being unique; the GNOME foot is not abstract as other DE logos are and we
have to deal with that.

I personally think that the concept Patrik has created is gorgeous and can
definitely tell our story. We are what Ubuntu might have become if Unity
hadn't been created, we are Ubuntu, but with GNOME. The G shape formed from
Us is very, very clever and hard to beat.

Re: http://ubuntugnome.org

[Alfredo Hernández]

As Patrik said. The website is already being coded. It's worth noting that
we are, despite what it might seem, actively working and discussing design
matters in the shadows.
Don't worry, Ali. Now we are a proper team and everything is covered nicely.

Best regards,
Alfredo.

I will not be able to attend the meeting, as I have a flight that very day.
Hopefully, Tim and Ali (and other members of the team) will be able to
attend.

Re: Nautilus "open in terminal" not working correctly, how to fix?

[Alfredo Hernández]

Vanilla Nautilus does indeed have the Open in Terminal feature since 3.14,
no need to install nautilus-open-terminal at all. If you install it, you'll
get the double text, no way to get rid of that.

Any way, it seems that the built-in Open in Terminal is having a bug with
zsh; feel free to open a bug report.

Are you using the PPAs? I say this because I use them and everything works
fine, and it may be a bug in the default system version we ship.

Re: [Ubuntugnome-comms] [Idea] Introducing a new volunteer to Ubuntu GNOME

[Alfredo Hernández]

Agreed. My apologies for asking for a web designer, but we need the website
done and we also needed someone with a very specific set of skills.

PS. Once we exactly know if we will have Niels or Niels + Justin, I'll make
the proper announcement of the website dev team (I'll also ask them to
introduce themselves; I believe Niels has already intoduced himself like a
eon ago, hehehe).

Thank you, brother, for all your hard work.

[Alfredo Hernández]

Thanks for all the insights, guys. We'll stick to the original plan, then :)

Best regards.

Re: Still waiting for a go on the design

[Alfredo Hernández]

I was thinking about it... and I thought... why don't we go big and build
the website using Polymer [1]? Our design is already quite minimalistic and
simple and could be easily adapted to use Polymer. Here are some live
examples of Polymer in action:

Re: Still waiting for a go on the design

[Alfredo Hernández]

Oh, just realised Niels was only replying to me. Niels has presented a
design. I think we could have a small team of two-three people working on
the website to have the best website ever, don't you think guys?

The link of the live design of the current design: http://188.226.238.182/.

Re: Still waiting for a go on the design

[Alfredo Hernández]

Yeah, I assume of this issue. Maybe it's time to find a fix website
designer for the artwork team? Now I'll go to sleep, if you want I can make
an announcement in our social media pages. The website is a high priority
in this cycle and we need it as soon as possible; making a website might
take some time, so we need a designer ASAP!

Re: [Proposal] Ubuntu GNOME Beginners Team or Ubuntu GNOME 101

[Alfredo Hernández]

As I commented on the Q&A Session mail, I think this would be great for
creating a bond with the user base. Of course, it would require people with
a fair amount of spare time.

Re: [Ubuntugnome-comms] [Proposal #2] Q&A Session (Google Hangout)

[Alfredo Hernández]

I was thinking about the Ubuntu GNOME 101 idea and I think we could
*also* create
a Ubuntu GNOME 101/Tips series in the blog. Like very simple stuff (have a
look at [1], to get the idea of what I'm talking about). This would allow
us to keep a record of the tips so that any new user could have a quick
look at them. This idea and the weekly Q session would help us engage more
with our user base, in my opinion.

of testimonials (see my page, for instance: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/aldomann
or Ali's one: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad#Testimonials).

I believe this is pretty standard, and given the nature of open source
projects the best way to do it.

Cheers,
Alfredo

Re: Suggestion: vouch for your volunteers

[Alfredo Hernández]

You are free to add your contribution to the project, but I don't see the
point of "officially" vouching as we are not technically a corporation or
anything, we are all contributors here.

Personally, my experience says that it's not a bad thing to include your
experience in open source projects if you believe it's something that makes
you a better candidate for an specific job. Your very own word is most of
times enough proof for your potential employers.

Cheers,
Alfredo

Apart from that I agree with all of that. Our main problem is, of course,

Re: Ubuntu GNOME Survey/Poll

Shall we create a Google Doc and put our ideas for questions in there? I
think that'd allow us all to do a better job than trying to make it via the

Re: Still waiting for a go on the design

As nobody offered alternatives to the design Satyajit and I made, we can
assume it's the way to go. I think the design is flexible enough to change
things we don't like in the future.

Re: Known issues with 3.14 in the staging PPA?

[Alfredo Hernández]

The shadow bug seems to be theme dependant. I've tried several themes and
Iris (https://github.com/xyl0n/iris-light) is not affected by it
whatsoever. It's likely to be a GTK+ bug, but as I said, it only affects
some themes.
Does anyone have another clue on the issue?

Cheers,
Alfredo.

To be fair I haven't experienced this kind of issue before and I've used
the Staging PPA since its existence.

Cheers
