<Luzbel112> no is a big problem but is
<Luzbel112> hateful
<pavlushka> Luzbel112: I guess its the power adapter issue, I had it with my old ones, so replaced with a new power adapter.
<Luzbel112> no es problem of power adapter
<Luzbel112> only happens when hibernates and awakens
<pavlushka> Luzbel112: but if it's possible for you to test the Adapter with some other device, that would help

<pavlushka> Luzbel112: and before this OS install, with other OS/distro, the issue was absent?
 * pavlushka just double checking before suggesting Luzbel112 to file a bug under mate-power-manager.
<Luzbel112> it worked perfectly

When I select other input method, and try to type anything, nothing appears on screen whichever is the application running. Please help me in figuring out how to make iBus input appear on the screen.

<jbo> Hi there! I'm running plain ubuntu 16.04, and I'd like to install Pix (the X-fork of gthumb). Where is it packaged? Is ubuntu-mate-dev/xenial-mate the right PPA?
<alkisg> jbo: I don't see any packages named "pix" there: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mate-dev/+archive/ubuntu/xenial-mate
<jbo> yeah - it's this: https://github.com/linuxmint/pix
<alkisg> If it's related to linuxmint, maybe it's not related to mate...
<alkisg> And you should be asking in #linuxmint instead
<jbo> the whole mate project works under the mint github
<alkisg> Meaning? https://github.com/mate-desktop/
<alkisg> Where's mint there?
<jbo> Oh, ok -- it must just be tte X-Apps
<jbo> *the
<jbo> well - I'm going to try building it from git
<alkisg> If linuxmint has it, they probably distribute it in some of their own repositories, so ask in #linuxmint
<alkisg> flexiondotorg: are there any thoughts for officially shipping mate-desktop 1.16 to xenial? (e.g. from the mate-xenial ppa...)
<flexiondotorg> alkisg, Yes.
<flexiondotorg> It seems fine. Just one theme regression in mate-terminal.

<dnichk> Quick question: fresh 16.10 install, and for some reason when installing Telegram (from the welcome screen), I can only launch it via `sudo /opt/telegram/telegram`. And that is even with my user having permissions. Similar issue with the ubuntu-mate-welcome app as well. Anyone run into this?

<NikLP> heyo, ages ago I updated my 14.xx to 16.04 and my sound settings and everything associated with audio completely disappeared and now I can't alter anything apart from vol up/down which is a bit of PITA, any ideas how I can get that back without reinstalling the whole damn OS which I'm on the verge of doing?
<NikLP> I don't know *anything* about audio in ubuntu/linux and am very scared of pulseaudio as every time I look at anything to do with it I hear bad things about stuff breaking
<NikLP> aside: also if anyone has clues about how a beginner might start with Ardour DAW (which makes heavy mention of JACK, which is going to mess up PA...) I'm all ears. Though I'm always logged in, I'm not here for that much longer this evening.

<alkisg> Hi, you can also try in #ubuntu as this issue is not specific to the desktop environment that you use
<ubuntu-mate_> I earlier tried in Ubuntu and failed to install the printer. Moved to Ubuntu Mate hoping to find a solution. thanks.

<White_Light> why was 4.8.9 released before upstream released 4.8.9
<White_Light> that doesn't appear to make any sense, am I missing something?
<r4y> I am running an older tower that I can get Ubuntu 10.04 on a different hard drive to work with where the graphics card can do 3D graphics and tv-out with s-video through nvidia settings. I am running Ubuntu Mate on that same tower right now and I want to get tv out, but I don't care to get 3D graphics to work. How do I do that?
<r4y> I found this, but I wasn't sure about how things would work differently than before, but I have never messed with these before from this link:
<r4y> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
<r4y> I am going to leave this window open and go visit with other people for now, so I will likely not respond, but any input as to what tutorials online for setting up Ubuntu Mate for this would be a step in the right direction versus wondering which method might work and not being sure, because I feel stuck.
<r4y> I meant different ways would be great, as there are likely to be many ways perhaps.
<eightfold> hi
<eightfold> i wonder how i can change the window title color
<eightfold> i KNOW i've done this before, because i have a screenshot of it
<eightfold> https://i.imgur.com/DUOHIba.png
<eightfold> that shows how i changed the default baby blue to something darker
<eightfold> i can't, for my life, find how out how to do that again!
<eightfold> i think there might have been a "color" tab in customize
<eightfold> but no longer...
<eightfold> like so: https://i.stack.imgur.com/VYl3N.png
<eightfold> has this wonderful feature been removed?
<ouroumov_> eightfold, in 16.10 yes it's removed
<ouroumov_> Actually it can't be implemented in GTK3+ apparently
<eightfold> ouroumov_: ouch, ok
<eightfold> so, editing the themes?
<ouroumov_> Yeah I think
<ouroumov_> I'd like to know the recommended way to go about this too
<eightfold> http://askubuntu.com/a/760249
<eightfold> perhaps
<eightfold> "But it still wasn't enough for me, because progressbars and checkboxes remained green. Then I found the gtk-3.0/assets folder. There, I had to manually change the color of every single greenish asset with Gimp. I used the Hue-Saturation tool with the following parameters:"
<eightfold> argh...
<eightfold> ok, i'm messing about with the themes...
<eightfold> copied a theme to ~/.themes
<eightfold> there's a Radiant-MATE file in the root of the themes dir of this theme
<eightfold> BUT (strangeness)
<eightfold> when i look at the dir from the terminal it's called index.theme
<eightfold> wtf
<eightfold> how does this strangeness happen
<eightfold> when i try to rename it to Radiant-MATE-mine.theme it's not loadable
<eightfold> how do i change the name of the theme in the appearance > theme picker
<eightfold> ?
<eightfold> i don't want duplicate names
<eightfold> that's why i'm messing around

<mate|17036> hi i have Ubuntu 16.04 and the mate software wants me to update the OS.  It seems stuck,  and keeps asking me for authentication for some packages.  should I just download the latest Ubuntu over the old ones if the update fails?
<mate|17036> wonders if this is the best option for me?
<nomic> maybe ..
<nomic> you should try to do a complete installation, to get 16.10
<nomic> its because you have existing configuration
<mate|17036> if its dual boot, just install over it?
<nomic> you should m aybe ask on the forum (ubuntu, mate foru ms) isn't always busy here
<nomic> it gives you an option of installing to a partition
<nomic> it offers upgrade - its not compulsory
<nomic> 16.04 is still in support
<nomic> 16.10 is not a long term support release
<nomic> stick with 16.04
<nomic> April 2019
<nomic> end of support for 16.04
<mate|17036> oh the problem i am having is it downloaded 185 mb,  but keeps asking to authenticate when it gets to 135 mb  and it wont go further
<nomic> its the most stable lts
<nomic> apt-get upgrade upgrades packages, not the OS
<mate|17036> well it runs ok without the updates, just saying it seems stuck
<nomic> when you type sudo apt-get upgrade?
<mate|17036> no the mate software is doing this, says one update and tells me its size
<nomic> i dunno - ask on the forum
<nomic> screenshot
<nomic> show them
<nomic> where it stops
<mate|17036> so sudo apt-get upgrade is the command I should try in terminal?
<mate|17036> so I am not dependant on the ubuntu-mate software?
<mate|17036> I will try that instead, thank you
<mate|17036> its asking for a reboot now.  hmmmm

<leonsant> Hello guys:)
<mattwj2002> hey leonsant
<leonsant> I've just installed ubuntu mate on Raspberry PI 3. I am having that load kernel module error ... I just did a full update and all packages are up to date. Strange is that there seems to be nothing wrong with the system. I had an error message about wlan already existing or something like that but everything seems fine when I do a startx.
<edve> Sup man
<TheMariuz> leonsant, i think raspberry needs rasbian
<edve> Pastebin the /var/log
<TheMariuz> leonsant, a distro spec for the raspberry
<edve> No. Ubuntu mate supports it
<TheMariuz> humm k
<mattwj2002> he is right
<mattwj2002> that is how I found out about ubuntu mate actually
<edve> Yeah it is running super flawlessly
<TheMariuz> not for everyone obiously
<TheMariuz> if the rasberry go for a 2-4gb ram and faster processor in next release im getting one for my camper
<mattwj2002> TheMariuz: for what purpose?
<mattwj2002> :)
<mattwj2002> what would you use it for in a camper?
<TheMariuz> as a general use computer for watching netflix etc
<mattwj2002> got ya
<TheMariuz> its solar in it
<TheMariuz> freecamp camper
<mattwj2002> I don't know if you could do netflix on a rpi
<TheMariuz> so a low power computer glued to the back of the tv would be nice
<TheMariuz> not current models i think.. future though
<TheMariuz> i use phone or my surface pro in it
<TheMariuz> 22" led tv with a chromecast
<TheMariuz> and wireless net
<mattwj2002> neat
<TheMariuz> indeed
<TheMariuz> gas heating for hotwater is getting installed now too
<TheMariuz> which means i can park anywhere, have 3 powersources (gas solar or regular grid), hotwater, shower, cook, tv and inet
<TheMariuz> however i dont have a computer perm installed in it yet
<TheMariuz> surface pro works but a even lower wattage raspberry would be perfect
<leonsant> Unfortunately I will have to drop my connection ..- but just to share with you guys ... I managed to video stream from a VLC running on a windows PC via HTTP and I was quite impressed with the performance.
<leonsant> I also have a chromecast and I only have good results when I share a chrome browser tab.
<TheMariuz> chromecast is brilliant
<edve> I would recommand another soft for streaming on the PI though
<leonsant> Sharing the whole screen doesn't work very well to me. I cannot get a good performance with that unless I decrease the resolution.
<edve> Kodi (xbmc)
<leonsant> Have any of you guys tried to compile Acestream on Ubuntu mate ? :)
<leonsant> I would like to try that :)
<TheMariuz> edve, im waiting with a raspberry until its actually a descent performing regular computer
<TheMariuz> i see no need... my mobile phone works fine with the chromecast
<mattwj2002> rpi is a descent for $35
<mattwj2002> :)
<leonsant> Sorry, guys ... need to go. I'll try to check on the logs later ...
<TheMariuz> its $35 i dont need to pay hwen i have an android phone
<leonsant> Thanks for the replies
<edve> Right on man
<leonsant> :)
<mattwj2002> bye leonsant
<edve> Well the PI can do multipls things the phone cant
<TheMariuz> key things here are streaming online services like youtube and netflix
<TheMariuz> surfing maybe and chatting but thats secondary
<edve> Each of them have their pros &cons
<TheMariuz> phones such for the latter which is why i sometimes use the surface pro
<TheMariuz> suck
<TheMariuz> however it would be nice to be able to just leave it here
<edve> which version of the surface pro you have
<TheMariuz> 3
<edve> which CPU ?
<TheMariuz> i5
<TheMariuz> i think its 2 years old now
<edve> That's the one I was supposed to get , but I wanted to wait for the next gen
<edve> Yeah , it's probably one of the best series they made so far
<TheMariuz> its nice, i cant see why id pick pro 4
<TheMariuz> one thats fanless would be even nicer
<TheMariuz> other than that, im happy with this one
<edve> Yeah that's a nice hardware that you have there.
<edve> Only con is that it is locked to Win OS right ?
<TheMariuz> only in theory
<TheMariuz> you can disable .. whats it called again
<TheMariuz> UEFI
<edve> UEFI
<edve> yeah
<edve> that's dope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRH-c2_kDA4
<edve> it looks pretty decent
<TheMariuz> they do run ubuntu on this but i havent bothered, for now i run mint on the desktop, win on this
<TheMariuz> its sort of designed for windows
<TheMariuz> you see he has keyboard issues
<TheMariuz> it uses a magnetic keyboard that i take on/off all the time
<edve> Yeah , maybe there is a fix for that though, it's a long timed video
<TheMariuz> desktop is fine for linux but ive dropped it on this
<TheMariuz> well you should look into a surface pro 3 ... you might do a good deal on it now
<TheMariuz> i paid around $1000 when i bought it a couple of years ago
<edve> Yeah well im more used with a laptop anyhow. I had a little tablet and unfortunatly it wasnt enough
<TheMariuz> this is a laptop wrapped into a tablet
<TheMariuz> same screensize etc as a descent tablet... i find it more comfy to use
<TheMariuz> i ment ofcourse laptop
<TheMariuz> tablets <3
<TheMariuz> i use it in bed too, cant beat a tablet there
<edve> Yeah i have to admit , but i'm more on my cellphone if the space is restraint :p

<masnell> @ubuntu-mate you can try starting the upgrade again from the terminal with >sudo do-release-upgrade
<masnell> There is a lot of info in the following post about fixing missing packages and other issues that could be useful ; https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/ubuntu-mate-update-guide/629
<masnell> After the half way mark there is a section âBroken Upgrade or Installation"
<masnell> If you get specific error messages from the  do-release-upgrade or the apt-get commands, report them back here and ppl who see and hv specific knowledge will try to help - just be patient as many ppl check in randomly to help when they can
<masnell> It's past midnight for me, so I will disappear at some stage

<nbros652> I am running ubuntu-mate on a raspberry pi. Upon installation, I created a second user. For whatever reason, the screensaver does not work in the second user account. It works just fine in the account that was set up during installation. The second user is set up as an administrator. Any thoughts?
<patrick__> help
<patrick__> i installed this s on my pi because screen would not rotate, screen still breaking my neck sideways, is there any os i can run
<patrick__> Found My answer , Thanks :-)
<nbros652> @patrick did you manage using the config.txt file?
<patrick__> yes
<nbros652> I think that's pretty much where you would want to go using any OS on the RPi
<patrick__> gui for too many years has spoiled me, shut my brain right off eh.
<aniruddh> buntu mate?
<aniruddh> Is there a docker image available for ubuntu mate?
<aniruddh> I mean Docker package
<aniruddh> I want to install docker on mate
<alkisg> http://packages.ubuntu.com/docker
<alkisg> All ubuntu flavors share the same repositories
<alkisg> So all programs are common
<aniruddh> I am on mate 1.12.1
<aniruddh> which package to choose?
<alkisg> sudo apt install docker
<alkisg> It's chosen automatically
<alkisg> Or install it from synaptic
<alkisg> !synaptic
<ubottu> A Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
<CrazyTux> hello, can ubuntu mate 16.04 be upgraded to 17.10?
<alkisg> CrazyTux: 16.04 goes to 16.10, then 17.04, then 17.10
<alkisg> Or, 16.04 can go directly to 18.04 when it's released
<CrazyTux> ok
<santo> ciao
<CrazyTux> btw, the update/upgrade policy of ubuntu mate lts is similar to the one followed by mint?
<alkisg> CrazyTux: I haven't used mint, but I think it's using the same update/upgrade as all of debian distros
<jrj_> alkisg: do you have a link to official docs about thise upgrade paths - and how they work
<alkisg> jrj: non lts can upgrade only to its next version. LTS can upgrade to either next version or next LTS.
<alkisg> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
<alkisg> https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/installing-upgrading.html
<CrazyTux> https://www.howtogeek.com/176495/ubuntu-developers-say-linux-mint-is-insecure-are-they-right/
<CrazyTux> guys, what
<jrj> alkisg: Thanks
<CrazyTux> what's your opinion on that?
<alkisg> np
<alkisg> CrazyTux: it's a known issue that linuxmint has insecure policies, yes
<alkisg> It even doesn't respect the debian policy in packaging, modifying /etc...
<alkisg> No ubuntu developer likes its methods
<CrazyTux> so, linux mint is not advisable?
<alkisg> Indeed
<CrazyTux> from security perspective?
<alkisg> Security and packaging and maintenance
<CrazyTux> ok
<alkisg> And cooperation... lots of reasons
<jrj> CrazyTux: i have been where you are
<CrazyTux> ok
<CrazyTux> jrj, which other distros are you using now?
<jrj> Question is - Why would you ever choose Mint over Vanilla Ubuntu ?
<alkisg> If implemented properly, it would be an ubuntu "flavor" instead of trying to be a "distro", which it isn't, because it doesn't have its own repositories for everything
<jrj> CrazyTux: at home im a Ubuntu Mate user. At work we use RHEL, but thats on servers
<jrj> alkisg: but what is their "offer" for users
<CrazyTux> jrj, don't know. I have used Mint before. Then I studied its update policy. Now I am using Ubuntu Mate 16.04.3.
<alkisg> jrj: I'm not sure what you mean
<jrj> Since the last couple of years Ubuntu native have been VERY new user friendly
<jrj> You can install Cinnamon on Native Ubuntu
<jrj> Then why use Mint ?
<CrazyTux> I am just a non technical end user. I don't know the implications of Mint's update policy.
<jrj> Not trying to start any flamewar  - i just dont understand their value proporsition
<alkisg> jrj: you're asking me what mint offers? I don't know as I don't use it for all the aformentioned reasons :)
<alkisg> Initially they offered mate and cinnamon
<CrazyTux> I too am not using Mint.
<alkisg> Now they're proper debian packages
<alkisg> So I'm not sure what they're offering now...
<CrazyTux> what is Ubuntu native?
<jrj> CrazyTux: Ubuntu - any flavour
<CrazyTux> ok
<CrazyTux> how many DEs can one install over Ubuntu, without affecting its performance, stability and without creating any inconsistencies.
<CrazyTux> ?
<jrj> I was on Mint - but changed to Ubuntu when mate came round
<jrj> CrazyTux: technically you can install all of them
<CrazyTux> I have Ubuntu Mate 16.04.3 and have installed lubuntu DE on it.
<CrazyTux> can I install Xubuntu Desktop also?
<jrj> however - i would recommend doing some VM's to test them out - then choose the one you like and go with that
<CrazyTux> btw, how is Opensuse Leap as compared to Ubuntu?
<jrj> Suse - uses RPM as packaging
<CrazyTux> yes. Is it stable and suitable for newbies?
<jrj> CrazyTux: its stable enough for home users - but any distribution choice is a matter of personal taste
<jrj> I recommend choose a few distros - test them out
<CrazyTux> ok
<jrj> You basically have 2 things to choose
<CrazyTux> yes.
<jrj> The distribution you like - based on security_profile, packaging tools, community ect.
<jrj> And then the DE
<CrazyTux> which is the most secure distro?
<jrj> Most of the popular DE's are available on most of the Distroes
<CrazyTux> and which packaging tools are better than others?
<jrj> Also a matter of taste
<jrj> There will be no 'one' correct answer
<CrazyTux> ok
<jrj> Every person you will ask have their own opinion
<jrj> Just remember that most distros have most of the DE's as options, and most distroes let you use the same applications
<CrazyTux> ok
<CrazyTux> if I install Xubuntu DE or Lubuntu DE on Ubuntu Mate, would it be the same as installing Xubuntu/Lubuntu?
<jrj> Yes
<jrj> basically
<CrazyTux> great.
<CrazyTux> please tell me whether I can install SAP ERP on Ubuntu Mate. I know that it's not supported by SAP. Only RHEL, Oracle Linux and Suse linux are supported.
<CrazyTux> I just want it to work for educational purposes. For a few months.
<jrj> CrazyTux: its not supported, you CAN get it to work, but its just too much work
<CrazyTux> ok
<CrazyTux> can I somehow install Tally ERP 9 on Ubuntu?
<jrj> CrazyTux: i would recommend setting up VirtualBox, install one of the supported Linux's in them and install SAP on top of that
<CrazyTux> all of the supported distros are rpm based. Will Opensuse, Mageia or CentOS work?
<jrj> Centos will work - as its is just a recompile of RHEL
<CrazyTux> ok
<jrj> Unless the installer specifically ask the OS if its RHEL
<CrazyTux> ok
<jrj> But this is what I do for all stuff i HomeLab
<jrj> I have MQ, WebSphere Application Server, Oracle DB ect ect ect running on Centos
<jrj> All officially supported on RHEL - and i have had no problems
<CrazyTux> wow. great.
<CrazyTux> CentOS is free, I suppose.
<jrj> it ts
<jrj> it is
<CrazyTux> what is the cost of buying and maintaining RHEL?
<CrazyTux> for desktops?
<jrj> Prices are on their site - but you REALLY dont need it for a lab
<jrj> And you really do not want to use RHEL as a desktop
<CrazyTux> ok. I will try CentOS then.
<jrj> Use Centos as a Server OS
<CrazyTux> yes. I have Ubuntu Mate for my laptop.
<jrj> ...not a desktop
<CrazyTux> I use a laptop.
<CrazyTux> I needed to install SAP ERP only for educational purposes?
<CrazyTux> .
<jrj> I recommend - stay with Ubuntu Mate as the main desktop OS. Install VirtualBox with Centos as guest OS for you homelab
<CrazyTux> ok
<CrazyTux> that's a good suggestion.
<jrj> It works for me
<CrazyTux> I hope I can get SAP ERP working on CentOS.
<CrazyTux> thanks a lot.
<jrj> If its supported on RHEL6 og RHEL7 - just get CENTOS6 or CENTOS7 - and it'll work
<CrazyTux> ok
<jrj> CENTOS6==RHEL6, CENTOS7==RHEL7
<CrazyTux> great.
<CrazyTux> thanks a lot.

<gogabouga> i have to drag an drop it to primary
<gogabouga> also when i save some stuff on desktop, it saves on secondary screen also
<gogabouga> is there any sol about that?
<Sum1lson18> gogabouga: You have screens mirrored or extended setting?
<gogabouga> extended ofc
<gogabouga> the secondary is hdmi and primary is vga
<Sum1lson18> gogabouga: right click desktop and select 'Arrange desktop icons'
<gogabouga> w8 to try this
<gogabouga> i dont have that option
<Sum1lson18> Do you have the 'keep aligned' checked?
<gogabouga> yes
<Sum1lson18> Do you have 'organize desktop by name'?
<gogabouga> if i check this all my stuff moved on secondary screen
<Sum1lson18> gogabouga: Can you swap primary/secondary options or swap cables?
<gogabouga> i cannot swap cables cause they are different, one hdmi and one vga, if i swap options i dont have primary the vga (bigger screen)
<gogabouga> i will not have*
<Sum1lson18> gogabouga: Can you physically move the monitors?
<gogabouga> i need as primary the vga screen cause its bigger, ofc i could do this but there is no space right on the desk ;p
<Sum1lson18> gogabouga: Primary is your left screen I guess?
<gogabouga> no right screen
<Sum1lson18> gogabouga: Left screen is secondary and is where the icons sit?
<gogabouga> yeah if i drag an drop them
<gogabouga> no no
<gogabouga> w8

<gogabouga> left screen is primary , where th icons sit
<gogabouga> but if i create new folder appeas on right(secondary screen)
<Sum1lson18> In Screen Display setting drag the screen images to the same as the physical locations?
<gogabouga> they appears exactly as physical location
<gogabouga> can you please tell me a good search keywords?
<gogabouga> because i have bad english
<Sum1lson18> With 'kkep aligned' checked it should keep all the icons aligned, even with new ones added?
<Sum1lson18> keep*
<gogabouga> yes but the new icons on seconday screen
<gogabouga> if i dont drag n drop them to primary
<gogabouga> this is weird isn't it?
<Sum1lson18> Just having a search for similar issues

<adam5isalive> Hey gents
<arturs> artiiiii
<arturs> nav
<ubmt> why my ubuntu-mate can't update the new version firefox quantum?
<diogenes_> ubmt, maybe because it's not officially released yet?
<sixwheeledbeast> quantum is only the engine it's not a version as such. v57 should have been released but maybe not in the repos yet.
<M1K4> When do ubuntu mate 17.10 get firefox 57 ?
<M1K4> Or do i have to install a new ppa ?
<ali1234> M1K4: there is a PPA if you want nightly
<ali1234> but you probably don't
<ali1234> !info firefox artful
<ubottu> firefox (source: firefox): Safe and easy web browser from Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 56.0+build6-0ubuntu1 (artful), package size 43612 kB, installed size 166642 kB
<M1K4> ali1234: i wana try the new 57
<ali1234> well nightly PPA gets you 58 now
<ali1234> 57 will come to the repos soon i think
<M1K4> Yes, but 58 is dayly so not stable
<M1K4> So i have to wait
<ali1234> seems like it
<M1K4> i wil look again in the weekend

<eikin> Hi to everyone. 'I'm a newbee to Ubuntu-Mate.
<diogenes_> new bee? good not a new wasp
<eikin> I'm facing some issue and have some question maybe some  of you guys can help
<eikin> Yesterday I bought a HP LaserjetPro MFP M281fdw and I can't scan with it
<diogenes_> what about printing?
<eikin> Printing is ok
<diogenes_> ok run  in terminal: sudo apt install sane xsane
<eikin> it's installing some packages.
<eikin> by the way the install / remove is also not working when I click on it
<diogenes_> let it install
<eikin> ok. terminal has finished.
<diogenes_> ok in the same terminal run: sudo apt install hannah-foo2zjs
<eikin> ok. done
<diogenes_> btw how is it connected? via USB, LAN, WiFi?
<eikin> usb
<diogenes_> ok run: sudo apt install libusb-0.1
<eikin> is it possible to change that later if Ineed
<eikin> ok. done
<diogenes_> ok try to remove the usb cable and plug it back
<eikin> done
<diogenes_> try scanning
<eikin> it says " no scanner found"
<diogenes_> how do you try scanning?
<eikin> wnet to the scanner button in mate and click on it. Program opens but after a short time it says "No scanner found"
<diogenes_> ok close that program, go back to terminal and run: gksu xsane
<diogenes_> enter your passwors, click on "continue at your own risk"
<eikin> ok.
<diogenes_> what is the result?
<eikin> nothing found
<diogenes_> ok run in terminal: sane-find-scanner
<diogenes_> you gonna see a lot of text in terminal, you copy all that text
<diogenes_> after that you go here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/
<diogenes_> there you paste all the text and share the link here
<diogenes_> eikin, I have little time, 9.15s only
<eikin> https://thepasteb.in/p/KOh8W9z87GAuJ
<eikin> how can I contact you again
<diogenes_> wait
<diogenes_> run in terminal: sudo /usr/bin/scanimage -L

<impressora> hi
<impressora> someone can help me ?
<impressora> to share my printer to windows, i have to install samba ?
<DarkPsydeLord> well samba is installed by default on ubuntu mate
<Lengsdorfer> the samba server is not installed to mate by default. (ubuntu) i don't think that this is different at mint.
<alelinux> hola
<DarkPsydeLord> hola
<JerryT> Mate uses Cinnamon by default correct?
<Sum1lson18> JerryT: Mate and Cinnamon are two different desktop environments
<JerryT> Ok, so Mate uses Gnome2 then?
<Lengsdorfer> Mate is a fork of gnome
<Sum1lson18> JerryT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATE_(software)
<Lengsdorfer> more precise: a fork of gnome2
<JerryT> Hrmm
<JerryT> Did they drop lockdown_panel_config?
<alkisg> JerryT:  $ gsettings list-recursively  | grep lock | grep panel
<alkisg> org.mate.panel locked-down false
<JerryT> Thank you
<mate|51174> Hi, I'm wondering what the intended behavior of e.g. "Move window to north-west (top-left) corner" is? In regular ubuntu it resizes as well as moves, on my mate desktop it only moves the window?
<JerryT> alkisg, what if it has no effect?
<alkisg> JerryT: it has effect for me
<alkisg> Did you set it to true?
<alkisg> gsettings set org.mate.panel locked-down true
<JerryT> alkisg, yes.  Restarted mate-panel too
<alkisg> JerryT: I'm using the redmond mate-panel layout, and when i alt+right click on some item, I can remove it
<alkisg> If I set it to true, I can't remove it
<alkisg> I cannot drag the panel around either
<alkisg> No restarting is needed
<alkisg> Of course, you need to modify the setting of the current user, not e.g. of the root user by running the command with sudo...
<JerryT> Oh
<JerryT> How do you do it globally?
<alkisg> Global gsettings are documented in the gnome wiki
<alkisg> They go to /etc
<JerryT> Ok, I'll check it out
<JerryT> Thanks.
<alkisg> Google for "mandatory gsettings"

<ItsMeLenny> i have installed mate ontop of ubuntu 17.10, and the wacom settings were there under unity, but i can no longer get to them under mate, does anybody else have this problem in mate itself?
<ItsMeLenny> or can anyone check if they have a wacom config if they are running 17.10
<diogenes_> run: ls /usr/bin | grep wac
<ItsMeLenny> diogenes_, libwacom-list-local-devices, xsetwacom
<ItsMeLenny> but neither for those are a gui thing
<diogenes_> then look in synaptc
<ItsMeLenny> i did, theres no program
<ItsMeLenny> but ubuntu has one and it was there and worked when running in unity
<ItsMeLenny> and ubuntu mate other versions have them
<ItsMeLenny> are you on mate 17.10?
