ebeyer_Any of you guys running Ubuntu MATE on the Pi 3?13:02
mate|63065hello everybody13:19
mate|63065could some one help me with Ubuntu mate ?13:20
mate|7079hey guys tried upgrading to 16.04 from 14.04 and in uefi mode Grub is missing, in standard mode, I get the iframas (believe i spelled that right) terminal page but cn't type anything in. I download the iso through torrent and used unetbootin to make the boot image on my flash drive, did I screw up somewhere?14:50
gordonjcpmate|7079: can you boot the USB stick at all?14:55
mate|7079yes14:55
gordonjcpand it boots to a normal desktop, if you click "Try Ubuntu"?14:55
mate|7079redownloading the image now to see if that's the issue14:56
mate|7079didn't try that tbh just went straight to install14:56
mate|7079so reimaging the flash drive again will try the try ubuntu route and report back15:02
gordonjcpalso I don't really bother with unetbootin since I've never got it to work ever15:04
gordonjcpI just copy it to the stick with dd15:04
mate|7079kinda hard to do that on windows tho....15:04
mate|7079ok rebooting now15:05

ELECTRODYNAMIXWhere do I go to expand my file system?23:14
fifty-sevenCCan you explain more what it is you want to do?23:14
fifty-sevenCand the background behind the request23:14
ELECTRODYNAMIXI have an 8GB micro SD card running MATE but it only shows that i have 3.6 GB avalable.23:15
ELECTRODYNAMIXAnd on windows it shows that there is lots of unallocated space23:15
fifty-sevenCWell first, don't believe anything Windows says.23:16
mate|35300hey guys, could some one help me?23:16
fifty-sevenCNext, are you booting off the SD card?23:16
ELECTRODYNAMIXOK, but its true, the forum also had people saing to expland my file system on the welcome screen, but I dont know where23:16
ELECTRODYNAMIXAnd yes, I am booting from the SD card23:16
fifty-sevenCAre you using LVM?23:18
ELECTRODYNAMIXI dont know, I am on a raspberry pi23:18
fifty-sevenCOk. I'm going to tell you how to do it the noob friendly way23:18
fifty-sevenCtype this23:19
ELECTRODYNAMIXOk23:19
fifty-sevenCsudo apt-get install gparted23:19
ELECTRODYNAMIXok hold on23:19
fifty-sevenCpress ctrl+alt+t to open a terminal23:19
fifty-sevenCpaste that in there23:19
fifty-sevenCUse gparted to grow your volume23:19
fifty-sevenCmate|35300, Hi what did you need help with?23:19
ELECTRODYNAMIXOk, it is installing right now23:20
ELECTRODYNAMIXWhere do I launch GParted?23:22
fifty-sevenCtype sudo gparted23:22
fifty-sevenCin the terminal23:22
ELECTRODYNAMIXok23:22
ELECTRODYNAMIXOk, it is open, what do I do next?23:23
fifty-sevenCDo what you wanted to do23:23
mate|35300hello, sorry i am new with linux23:23
mate|35300i have a 4/5 year old laptop23:24
fifty-sevenCmate|35300, Ok. What do you need help with?23:24
mate|35300and installed ubuntu mate on it the 16.04 it lagged alot , then i installed all other ubuntu then is still lagged... then i installed ubuntu mate 14.04.. now the interface is nog lagging anymore but if i go like firefox or something it still lags23:25
ELECTRODYNAMIXWhen I expand it, it gives me an error message23:25
fifty-sevenCmate|35300, You might want to disable compositing23:26
mate|35300what does that mean ?23:26
fifty-sevenCmate|35300, Look for MATE Tweak in your menus23:26
mate|35300its not on23:27
fifty-sevenCmate|35300, Somewhere you should have an option to pick your window manager or compositor. Just select no compositing23:27
ELECTRODYNAMIXShould I remove the SD card and try to expand on windows with my partition manager?23:28
fifty-sevenCmate|35300, Well, if your computer is slow Linux will not magically make it faster.23:28
fifty-sevenCELECTRODYNAMIX, Windows can only resize dynamic disks, which will make it unbootable.23:29
ELECTRODYNAMIXOh ok, not even if I use MiniTool partition manager?23:29
fifty-sevenCI never heard of minitool23:29
ELECTRODYNAMIXok23:29
ELECTRODYNAMIXIs there any other way to expand it then?23:30
ELECTRODYNAMIXgparted always fails23:30
mate|35300yes i guess you're right... windows 7 is oke...23:30
mate|35300i tought linux would be faster23:30
fifty-sevenCELECTRODYNAMIX, Not while it is mounted no. Try booting off a thumbdrive then using gparted to resize the sdcard23:31
ELECTRODYNAMIXI cant boot off of USB with raspberry pi23:31
fifty-sevenCELECTRODYNAMIX, do it on a desktop or laptop then23:31
ELECTRODYNAMIXCould I use gparted on my other linix desktop?23:31
fifty-sevenCmate|35300, How much memory does your laptop have?23:32
mate|353004gb23:32
fifty-sevenCmate|35300, What CPU and GPU?23:33
mate|35300maybe bad drivers23:33
mate|35300AMD C6023:33
mate|35300its a APU23:33
ELECTRODYNAMIXI will try to expand my file system on the SD card with my other linux desktop computer.23:33
fifty-sevenCmate|35300, I have no experience with APUs. Try checking your menus for "Additional Drivers"23:34
mate|35300yeah i tried that already... it doesnt work... :(23:35
fifty-sevenCopen a terminal and do23:36
fifty-sevenCcat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_state23:36
fifty-sevenCIt is in performance mode?23:36
mate|35300now its says internal error23:36
mate|35300and restart23:36
fifty-sevenCmate|35300, might be something is broken in your laptop?23:37
mate|35300I want to thank you for your help23:37
mate|35300yes maybe...23:37
fifty-sevenCNo problem although I wasn't able to help much23:37
mate|35300maybe i go and install the latest ubuntu mate again but then the 64 bit version23:38
fifty-sevenC64 bit version is probably better.23:38
mate|35300yeah23:38
fifty-sevenCBut just check cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_state23:38
mate|35300oke23:38
fifty-sevenCIf it doesn't say performance you're in low power mode23:39
mate|35300can i copy the text and put it in the terminal ?23:40
fifty-sevenCyes23:40
mate|35300how can i do it ?23:40
fifty-sevenCJust highlight it23:40
mate|35300if is do crtl V23:40
fifty-sevenCThen in the terminal right click and select paste23:40
mate|35300it says no such file in the system23:41
fifty-sevenCYou should have the radeon driver installed.23:42
fifty-sevenCAnd that should spit out battery or performance23:42
mate|35300aaah in de amd catalist23:42
mate|35300yeah23:43
mate|35300its maximum performance23:43
mate|35300maybe i installed it wrong23:43
fifty-sevenCWhere did you install that driver from?23:43
mate|35300from synaptics23:43
mate|35300or something23:43
mate|35300i saw it on youtube23:43
fifty-sevenCDid you have the problem before or after you installed the proprietary driver>23:44
mate|35300before23:45
fifty-sevenCAre you currently having the problem?23:45
mate|35300i installed the driver because i thought it was not ok23:45
mate|35300yeah with youtube and other website who are heavy23:46
mate|35300website like this i am not having the issue23:46
mate|35300the point is i really really like the ubuntu interface23:46
fifty-sevenCOk. As long as you didn't download and run a blob off the net.23:47
fifty-sevenCAnd installed it through synaptic or apt23:47
mate|35300no23:47
fifty-sevenCmate|35300, A lot of people like MATE. It is why we use it23:48
mate|35300the driver is from synaptic itself23:48
mate|35300yeah23:48
fifty-sevenCYou're also free to modify it or try other desktops like openbox23:48
mate|35300btw i am on a netbook23:48
fifty-sevenCCool beans23:49
mate|35300well i tried lubuntu today23:49
mate|35300but also the same problem23:49
mate|35300i thought maybe my cpu just dont fit linux23:50
fifty-sevenCWell now you know you need the proprietary driver23:50
mate|35300yeah23:51
mate|35300i did that with additional driver23:51
mate|35300i know amd's website also offers driver23:52
fifty-sevenCDon't use the drivers on the AMD site23:52
fifty-sevenCEverytime a kernel patch is released you'll have to recompile with no DE23:52
mate|35300hehehe to be honest i dont know what you mean23:53
mate|35300its to difficult23:53
mate|35300but where would you take the driver from ?23:54
fifty-sevenCDon't install the driver from the website23:54
mate|35300yes that part understand :D23:55
fifty-sevenCIt means if you do, next time a kernel update comes out you will have to fix it from a blinking black cursor.23:56
mate|35300aaah oke :P23:57
mate|35300i will install the latest ubuntu mate23:57
fifty-sevenCDon't23:58
mate|35300?23:58
fifty-sevenCNo proprietary drivers in 16.04 yet23:58
mate|35300ow23:58
mate|3530015.10 then?23:58
fifty-sevenCLook for "Software & Updates"23:59
fifty-sevenCturn on backports23:59
fifty-sevenCThat will get you newer packages23:59
