Hi Lance,

Rough going. It seems that X is
broken in Edubuntu flashback-metacity with those packages,
at least both the keyboard and mouse are non functional.
in the flashback session do you have a process called
display-config-daemon running?
Haven't gotten that far yet, but I was mistaken.
The keyboard is working, but none of the shortcuts are. The
mouse pointer is just invisible, I discovered this by just
pressing the left mouse button and dragging I could see the
normal artifacts on the screen.
Mouse pointer missing is due to display-config-daemon not running,
however I think that should be fixed for flashback now (with
trusty2 version)
if now try the following two command
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity
/usr/lib/displayconfig/display-config-daemon -r --debug
and in a second terminal
gnome-settings-daemon -r --debug
I'm using a wireless Logitech so I swapped in a Zalman wired
mouse but no change. The pointer appears on the login screen but
not on the desktop after boot completes.
I need to rinse-n-repeat now because I hadn't paid any attention
to keyboard shortcuts before installing your PPA. So I'll retest
beginning with a new Edubuntu image, then more thoroughly test
the default install before applying changes from your PPA.
I suspect they will be broken either way, we pass off key grabs to
gnome-shell when XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME, this is one of the
reasons flashback is switching to use Unity profile
Sorry for the long delay but real life knocked on the door :^(
I can say that the nautilus and eog changes seem OK, beyond that I'm
really in over my head - that is I'm just not tech savvy enough to
understand all of what you said.
And the Ubuntu repos have been very, very active in the past couple
of days which is good but also results in inaccurate results.
Do you think we could move some of those updates to trusty-proposed?
Or maybe the normal gnome 3 PPA?
Maybe narrowing the focus would be helpful.
