HetroErectuslacks wifi and bluetooth but who cares.. all i have to do is plug in one of both bought on ebay for $1 each01:01
HetroErectustheres 4 usb ports on it01:01
HetroErectusnot able to run win but will run ubuntu just fine, which is perfect ! <301:02
HetroErectusits going to be my camper computer glued to the back of a TV01:02
HetroErectusaka the hacker shack01:03
HetroErectushacker on wheelz01:04
HetroErectusmostly for streaming netflix and spotify though01:05
HetroErectus$40 for a computer doing that is pretty damn amazing01:09
nomici like the pi3s01:15
nomicin that they have replaced my pcs01:15
nomichttp://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2016/review-odroid-c2-compared-raspberry-pi-3-and-orange-pi-plus01:16
HetroErectusyou run pi3 now?01:21
nomicyes01:32
=== johannes__ is now known as Just1Number
fifty-sevenCThe big thing pi has going for it is the support it has and how cheap it is01:45
HetroErectusnice01:47
HetroErectusjust watched a vid of pi running kodi01:48
HetroErectusflawlessly!01:48
HetroErectus1080p .. even software decoding01:48
HetroErectus1080p is my default format.. a while yet to i upgrade to 4k01:49
HetroErectushowever.. how well does it do say streaming netflix while running hexchat?01:50
HetroErectusyou need chrome under linux for netflix01:51
HetroErectusdoesnt to with some tiny light weight firefox hack01:51
HetroErectusdoesnt do01:51
fifty-sevenCYou have to have flash01:51
HetroErectusflash? reason it will only play in chrome is DMR01:52
HetroErectuschrome is propietary so it ships with it01:52
HetroErectusflash is out.. its DMR thats the issue01:52
HetroErectusi can live just fine without flash01:52
prime_Hey anyone know how to set it so that bluetooth does not turn on on start up on a laptop (not thinkpad) with mate?01:53
HetroErectuschromium wont play netflix since its open source.. neither will firefox.. etc01:54
HetroErectusallmost so i wish it would run chrome os01:55
HetroErectuswill it? hmmm...01:55
HetroErectus...yes it will!!!!01:55
fifty-sevenCprime02:06
fifty-sevenChkjhkjghjkgf so annoying02:06
HetroErectuschromium-widevine is the package for playing it in chromium ... avaliable only on arch02:16
HetroErectusthen netflix would run in open source browsers02:17
=== apessoa is now known as Guest93893
fifty-sevenChmm02:18
fifty-sevenCIf there was a way to make netflix not use html5 on a browser it detects capable it would fallback to flash and work fine in chromium02:19
HetroErectusthats not whats stopping netflix from playing, fifty.. its DRM02:20
HetroErectusdigital rights management02:20
HetroErectusit just wont run on open source things02:21
=== james is now known as Guest33081
HetroErectusfirefox has flash but it still wont run netflix cause its tied to this spec package02:22
=== Guest33081 is now known as Kalvin_Clein
fifty-sevenCfirefox will use the default html5 as well02:23
HetroErectusshould be of high pri for the ubuntu developers to get this working02:23
fifty-sevenCthe widevine drm scheme is for html502:23
HetroErectusits irrelevant if its html5 or flash02:23
fifty-sevenCI don't think so02:23
HetroErectusi do02:23
fifty-sevenCWidevine is specific to html502:24
fifty-sevenCWait does netflix use silverlight or flash?02:26
fifty-sevenCIf it is silverlight I don't know anything about it'02:26
Nullifi3dit used to use silverlight02:26
Nullifi3dnot sure about now02:26
fifty-sevenCOk02:26
HetroErectusnow its html502:26
HetroErectusbut yes it used to be silverlight02:26
fifty-sevenCOk so no flash fallback so it wouldn't work in chrome unless it is html5 widevine02:27
HetroErectusnods02:27

ouroumovI only glanced at it and I found it was not for me :o11:53
ouroumovNot enough options ~ u_u11:54
AkuliI started with mint, but walked away when i realized how buggy the code for all the mint applications is, i can't believe my mint system worked as well as it did with such poor programming.11:54
srir4mreally?11:55
srir4mi didnt encounter much bugs either11:55
srir4mhow is mate??11:55

ouroumovsrir4m, people have different experiences with it11:56
ouroumovThere's a bunch of bugs.11:56

srir4mdoes compton get rid of the vsync problem?12:00
ouroumovYes12:00
ouroumov^^12:01
srir4mgood12:01
srir4malso......ubuntu mate's grub aint nice imo12:01
srir4many way to replace that?12:01
Akulisrir4m, sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-mate-grub-theme12:02
Akulii might remember the package name wrong, type first 10 characters or so and hit tab twice12:02
ouroumovYou can also fallback to console mode using the GRUB_CONSOLE line in /etc/default/grub iirc12:03
srir4mill try that12:03
ouroumovGRUB_TERMINAL *12:03
srir4mbut now right now.....cause im updating s/w...soo terminal wont work12:03
srir4mu guys have ever tried debian?12:05
Akulisrir4m, i run devuan on my laptop, it's a fork of debian without systemd12:11
Akulicrazy fast12:11
srir4mnice...12:12
srir4mi was abt to try debian myself....but then i saw a joe collins video on youtube....and he was recommending this distro....sooo...i just went ahead and downloaded this instead12:12
srir4mwhat panel layout are u guys using?12:13
Akulisrir4m, none of the default ones, just start right-clicking them and do whatever you want12:16
srir4mlol12:16
Akulisrir4m, well, debian and ubuntu mate are basically opposites of each other :D debian is a traditional distro, ubuntu-mate is trying to be as modern as possible12:16
srir4mu guys have tried different DE's ??12:17
srir4min this distro?12:17
ouroumovYes12:17
ouroumovOh12:17
ouroumovNo12:17
srir4min general?12:17
ouroumovXubuntu, Lubuntu12:17

srir4myeah12:18
srir4mcan i install gnome on this?12:18
Akuliwhyyyyyyy??12:18
srir4mi want to try gnome 3.2012:18
Akulii'm sure you can... but i don't know why you would do that12:18
srir4mi just want to try....12:19
srir4mmany people like gnome12:19
srir4mand i wanna know why12:19
Akuliumm not any more12:19
srir4msoo what....kde?12:19
srir4moh im sorry "plasma"12:20
Akulignome 2 was popular because it was the only really good desktop, but many people think gnome 3 is ugly and not user-friendly12:20
Akulimate is a fork of gnome 2, for people who want to keep using something much like gnome 212:20
gordonjcpsrir4m: you can install anything that's packaged for Ubuntu on it12:20
srir4mi think they made mate look lot sexier now12:21
srir4mit looks gorgeous12:21
ouroumovThere's a screenshot category on the forum if you wanna see the extent of possible customizations srir4m12:24
Akulisrir4m, no, that's ubuntu mate with all their fancy default settings.12:24
srir4mnice12:25
srir4mummm how do i bring back update window12:30
srir4mit was updating...and i must have done something....now it closed12:31
Akulidon't use the gui to update if you have issues12:33
Akulisudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade12:34
srir4mno no...i know but it was already running12:34
gordonjcpsrir4m: won't make any different12:34
gordonjcp*difference12:34
gordonjcpjust run the update like Akuli says12:34
gordonjcpit'll either work fine or give one of a selection of errors12:35
Akulilike "dpkg is being locked by another process", i.e. its already running12:36
srir4myeah its not12:36
srir4mi should also do dist-upgrade right?12:37
luigi_hi12:41
Akulisrir4m, i don't know, i've never used it12:42
luigi_im need lebnet6-1.3-dev12:42

mate|77930Hello17:13
mate|77930is anyone around to maybe help me out with a touch screen on a lap top?17:14
nomicdoesn't it work mate|7793017:17
nomicnever have used touch pad17:17
nomicscreen17:17
nomicyou may get a sooner reply by posting a message a message on forums mate|7793017:18
nomichttps://ubuntu-mate.community/17:18
nomichave you researched your hardware in relation to mate17:19
ouroumovhi mate|7793017:19
ouroumovmate|77930, have you installed the driver & firmware packages yet?17:20
ouroumov(in Welcome -> Getting Started)17:20
mate|77930nomic, never have used it before. it works but I dont know how to calibrate it.. it registers about an inch off of where I touch17:27
mate|77930ouroumov I have done that. just cannot figure calibration.. it work but not properly17:27
nomicmust be calibrator17:28
nomicthat works17:28
mate|77930how do I find calibrator?17:29
mate|77930sorry I'm a newbie trying to figure this out. no problems on my desktop and this is my only issue right now17:30
mate|77930wb ouroumov17:49
ouroumov__I think you're gonna have a hard time solving this problem mate|7793017:50
ouroumov__driver support in Linux for things like that... I'm not optimistic :/17:50
mate|77930well it works, but there has to be a way to calibrate sensitivity like calibrating a mouse or other peripheral17:51
ouroumov__If there is, I've no idea where. Have you looked in the mouse options? (Technically the screen is a pointing device, I guess)17:52
ouroumov__mate|77930, maybe I spoke too soon. Check this out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touchscreen17:53
mate|77930give me a few moments going to work through the directions.. much appreciated17:55
