[00:00] <TheMarius> same here, the bug is out there though
[00:00] <TheMarius> as in, reported
[00:01] <TheMarius> but i actually prefer the way it looks now anyway... more compact
[00:01] <TheMarius> functions the same way minus pause play etc if i click it, but id rather just have the quick access to volume control
[00:03] <fifty-sevenC> ok
[00:14] <TheMarius> but thanks for helping out, fifty-sevenC
[00:14] <TheMarius> :)
[00:14] <fifty-sevenC> np
[02:36] <alwan> i'm using umate 16.04.. it's probably the best linux distro for now
[02:39] <usedand> moonunitreed
[03:24] <odroid> is any body out there?
[03:38] <vm_unix> hey, I think I have a solution for a common problem in 16.04
[03:40] <ouroumov__> vm_unix, do say
[03:40] <ouroumov__> odroid, hi
[03:46] <vm_unix> I've heard time and time again about the wireless issue and I suffered from it too. I just upgraded my kernel and haven't had a problem since. I believe you should just patch the kernel to the latest upstream in your series.
[03:47] <vm_unix> which would be 4.4.11 at this point.
[03:49] <ouroumov__> vm_unix, what wireless issue?
[03:49] <vm_unix> the one where it cuts out upon suspend.
[03:49] <ouroumov__> On what hardware?
[03:50] <vm_unix> Do you want the exact hardware or just the wireless card?
[03:50] <ouroumov__> output of inxi -N should do it
[03:52] <vm_unix> Network:   Card-1: Intel Wireless 7260 driver: iwlwifi
[03:52] <vm_unix>            Card-2: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
[03:52] <vm_unix>            driver: r8169
[03:52] <vm_unix> That's a cool new one..thanks for that.
[03:52] <vm_unix> It is the n model btw
[03:52] <ouroumov__> Intel card, same as mine, with lower serial number - weird
[03:53] <vm_unix> It is the 7260-N
[03:53] <ouroumov__> actually higher *
[03:53] <ouroumov__> I have 3160
[03:53] <vm_unix> oh..
[03:53] <ouroumov__> So I guess it kind of make sense
[03:54] <vm_unix> I just got a newer kernel just because I thought it might be a bug in the current Ubuntu kernel. It's fine now.
[03:54] <ouroumov__> I've not had problems with wifi at all using the LTS kernel, but you're using a newer model
[03:54] <vm_unix> Ya, I'm fine now.
[03:55] <vm_unix> I just hope that other people had the same or a similar idea.
[03:55] <ouroumov__> vm_unix, so thanks for testing that out. If you want your tip to have visibility you should post the info on the community forums
[03:56] <vm_unix> I suppose I'll create an account..though I'm not a fan of making so many accounts..
[03:57] <ouroumov__> I get it. ^^ You're free to use a throw-away email/password, we won't hold that against you
[10:09] <fifty-sevenC> I don't see 4.4.11 linux-image in my package manager
[12:15] <mate|11477> hi
[12:15] <fifty-sevenC> Hello
[12:16]  * flexiondotorg would just like to thank the regulars here who offer help and assistance to people new to Ubuntu MATE.
[12:17] <mate|11477> i have problem with system temp. in windows and ubuntu the system temp. are similar but fan working in ubuntu mate is more than win. "amd gpu"
[12:17] <fifty-sevenC> Do you know which driver you are using? And what video card?
[12:18] <fifty-sevenC> It can also be that gpu load is averaging higher
[12:18] <mate|11477> open source  in only driver in 16.04 repo
[12:18] <mate|11477> amd 7400m
[12:19] <fifty-sevenC> Ok. Try this
[12:19] <fifty-sevenC> Click System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> MATE Tweak
[12:20] <fifty-sevenC> Click the Windows button. Which Window manager is it?
[12:21] <mate|11477> first defautl wm.
[12:21] <fifty-sevenC> What is the default for your system?
[12:21] <fifty-sevenC> Compiz?
[12:23] <fifty-sevenC> Try changing it to software or no compositor and see if your gpu fans spin up less often.
[12:25] <mate|11477> changed.no difference! also actived tlp.i think problem is open source driver.
[12:25] <fifty-sevenC> Give it a few minutes before deciding it had no effect
[12:27] <fifty-sevenC> Run this in a terminal
[12:27] <fifty-sevenC> cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_state
[12:27] <fifty-sevenC> Is it battery or performance mode?
[12:29] <mate|11477> no batt
[12:30] <mate|11477> can i dasble amd gpu with editing grub?i dont know about my laptop hybrid ability. hp 8460p core i5. is it?
[12:32] <fifty-sevenC> You can blacklist it using modprobe
[12:33] <mate|11477> so is my pc using hybrid gpu?
[12:34] <fifty-sevenC> type lsmod | grep radeon
[12:35] <fifty-sevenC> Does it return anything?
[12:36] <fifty-sevenC> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/hybrid_graphics#ATI_Dynamic_Switchable_Graphics
[12:43] <mate|11477> lsmod | grep radeon   what does this command?
[12:44] <fifty-sevenC> looks for the string 'radeon' in the list of loaded modules
[12:45] <mate|11477> what about add  redeon.modest 0  to grub?
[12:48] <fifty-sevenC> You can add radeon.modeset=0
[12:48] <fifty-sevenC> Or you can blacklist the driver in modprobe
[12:49] <fifty-sevenC> Both will disable your video card
[12:49] <mate|11477> is it safe?
[12:50] <fifty-sevenC> Should be.
[12:50] <fifty-sevenC> Blacklisting will tell the kernel to not interact with it entirely
[12:50] <fifty-sevenC> setting modeset=0 will just turn it off
[12:52] <mate|11477> so wich is better?
[12:52] <fifty-sevenC> up to you
[12:52] <fifty-sevenC> If after you reboot with either it is easy to fix from the command line
[12:53] <fifty-sevenC> You can try installing the propritary driver
[12:54] <mate|11477> how? in ubuntu 16.04?
[12:54] <fifty-sevenC> System -> Preferences -> Hardware -> Additional Drivers
[12:56] <mate|11477> remember. there is no propritary  amd driver in repo for now.
[12:56] <mate|11477> in ubuntu 16.04 version
[12:58] <fifty-sevenC> Ok
[12:58] <fifty-sevenC> then try the grub way of radeon.modese=0
[12:58] <fifty-sevenC> modeset=0
[12:59] <mate|11477> ok.if reboot with black screen how can i fix it?
[13:00] <ouroumov> flexiondotorg, and thank you for doing the heavy lifting. :]
[13:00] <ouroumov> Hi fifty-sevenC
[13:01] <fifty-sevenC> Hi ouroumov
[13:01] <fifty-sevenC> mate|11477, when booting jam the shift key
[13:01] <fifty-sevenC> enter recovery mode
[13:01] <fifty-sevenC> THen remove the line you added to grub
[13:02] <mate|11477> ok.thank u so much.i will test.
[13:03] <flexiondotorg> ouroumov, o/
[13:03] <fifty-sevenC> Hi flexiondotorg
[13:03] <flexiondotorg> fifty-sevenC, o/
[13:04] <fifty-sevenC> A shame about that hybrid amd-intel graphics
[13:06] <fifty-sevenC> I"m personally hoping radeon gains good support for being attached and detached without rebooting
[13:06] <fifty-sevenC> So when I build my VT-d computer I won't need a video card just for the windows VM
[14:11] <nickanon> Hello, I am using ubuntu mate 15.04. There's a problem. My battery status on top panel updates slow so it gives wrong information about battery status. Any idea How can I solve this?
[14:13] <fifty-sevenC> 15.04 isn't supported anymore.
[14:14] <ouroumov> Hi nickanon. As 57c mentioned you might want to update your machine.
[14:15] <nickanon> My machine is quite old, maybe of 2004. I dont think latest linux kernel will run smooth on it!
[14:16] <fifty-sevenC> What cpu?
[14:16] <nickanon> intel
[14:16] <fifty-sevenC> Intel what?
[14:17] <nickanon> intel core i3 , 2.13 Ghz
[14:17] <fifty-sevenC> Core i3 is from 2010
[14:18] <fifty-sevenC> It should work fine
[14:18] <nickanon> oh should I upgrade to 16.04 then?
[14:18] <fifty-sevenC> You can't skip upgrades
[14:18] <fifty-sevenC> You have to upgrade to 15.10 first
[14:18] <fifty-sevenC> Unless you want to wipe and fresh install
[14:18] <nickanon> I am thinking of fresh install
[14:19] <fifty-sevenC> Well, try upgrading first so you don't have to lose your data
[14:19] <nickanon> ok...
[14:19] <nickanon> thanks buddy
[15:00] <gall> is there here anyone that use ubuntu mate on raspberrypi3?
[17:24] <fifty-sevenC> Hi
[17:25] <alkisg> Hello
[21:52] <ubuntu-mate> hi everyone
[21:52] <fredy_> hey there
[21:55] <fifty-sevenC> Hi
[21:55] <fifty-sevenC> Oh he left :(
[22:04] <fredy_> im here
[23:07] <pierrot> good evening
[23:08] <fifty-sevenC> Hi pierrot
[23:09] <pierrot> hey fifty-sevenC. I'm trying to configure static IP but I'm having some trouble
[23:09] <fifty-sevenC> Alright, where are you having trouble with it?
[23:09] <pierrot> first of all, my network interfaces have weird names
[23:09] <pierrot> basically, enx followed by the MAC address of my network card
[23:09] <fifty-sevenC> That isn't out of the ordinary.
[23:10] <fifty-sevenC> type ip address
[23:10] <pierrot> Yes, I did that.
[23:11] <fifty-sevenC> Do you know the IP address and netmask you want?
[23:11] <pierrot> Yes, I know
[23:12] <fifty-sevenC> then do
[23:13] <pierrot> I want 192.168.0.100 and netmask 255.255.255.0
[23:13] <pierrot> I used Ubuntu MATE 15.04 for a year and I had it with that static IP
[23:14] <fifty-sevenC> ip addr add <ipaddress> dev <deviceIFNAME>
[23:14] <pierrot> but today I upgraded to a new image (Ubuntu 16.04) so I'm configuring it again
[23:14] <pierrot> what's <deviceIFNAME> ?
[23:15] <fifty-sevenC> that enx name
[23:15] <pierrot> It should be 'eth0' but with this weird notation, I guess it's the name with enx
[23:15] <pierrot> right
[23:16] <fifty-sevenC> Then you will need to add it to your interface config file
[23:16] <pierrot> /etc/network/interfaces ?
[23:16] <fifty-sevenC> sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
[23:16] <fifty-sevenC> yes
[23:17] <pierrot> and again, use the "enx" name instead of eth0
[23:17] <pierrot> ?
[23:17] <fifty-sevenC> If that is your device name yes
[23:20] <pierrot> iface enx*MAC* inet static ?
[23:21] <fifty-sevenC> Like this
[23:21] <fifty-sevenC> http://www.tecmint.com/ip-command-examples/
[23:22] <pierrot> done
[23:22] <fifty-sevenC> You should be set
[23:23] <pierrot> I wrote:
[23:23] <pierrot> auto enx*MAC* (the weird name)
[23:23] <pierrot> iface enx*MAC* inet static
[23:24] <pierrot> and then the desired address and netmask and the IP of my router as gateway
[23:26]  * pierrot is rebooting the Pi to know if the changes are persistent
[23:26] <fifty-sevenC> ok
[23:30] <pierrot> Nice, it worked !
[23:30] <pierrot> Thanks fifty-sevenC :)
[23:31] <fifty-sevenC> :)
[23:52] <YankDownUnder> Morning...anyone know if there's some issues with doing "apt-get" updates? "apt" is getting stuck - or at least for me...not sure how to resolve this...thanks
[23:53] <fifty-sevenC> Getting stuck with what
[23:55] <YankDownUnder> fifty-sevenC, When I do an "apt-get update" - after it reads everything from the PPA's, just just sits...the last "message", after doing a "fetch" is: "Fetched 94.5kb in 17s (5,366 B/s) => and just sits there...
[23:57] <fifty-sevenC> Might be a slow server
