| jaybo | recently installed Ubuntu-Mate 16.04. I had no issues installing OpenVpn and it connects just fine. However, once connected, I do not have the lock symbol indicating VPN is connected. I am not sure if I did something to mess that up or if OpenVPN installed that way as I may have not checked when I first installed. Is there anyway to get the VPN indicator back? I see it flashing during the connection process, just does not stay | 00:38 |
| jaybo | after being connected. | 00:38 |
| jaybo | signing off | 00:58 |
| fifty-sevenC | ? | 00:58 |
| nicholas_ | i am tryint to increase storage om my 32 gb | 01:49 |
| skeleton1ey | has anyone else run into a problem with OpenVPN not showing up in the GUI? | 02:40 |
| nomic | skeleton1ey go and ask on ubuntu forums / mate forums | 02:47 |
| nomic | https://ubuntu-mate.community/ | 02:47 |
| skeleton1ey | nomic: in other words...you don't know how to fix it? | 02:51 |
| fifty-sevenC | Do you have a gui installed for it? | 02:58 |
| skeleton1ey | yeah I didn't realize you needed the gnome package for mate | 02:59 |
| skeleton1ey | it's good to go | 02:59 |
| fifty-sevenC | MATE is formerly Gnome 2 | 02:59 |
| fifty-sevenC | Rather a fork of Gnome 2 | 02:59 |

| danboid | flexiondotorg: Any comment or news on the Arch MATE packages getting updated? | 10:54 |
| * flexiondotorg is no longer an Arch Linux TU. | 10:56 | |
| danboid | flexiondotorg: Who is the new maintainer of MATE for Arch? | 10:56 |
| flexiondotorg | There are several people interested. | 10:57 |
| danboid | flexiondotorg: How or when will the new maintainer be decided? | 10:58 |
| danboid | I have no idea how any of that works with Arch | 10:59 |
| danboid | There are two features I'd really love to see added to MATE - maybe they've been added into 1.14? | 11:01 |
| danboid | First is an easier way to resize windows without having to place your cursor on the exact pixels of a window edge / corner eg by holding a key to make it 'snap' to the nearest edge | 11:03 |
| danboid | Second, it'd be good if the current window that has focus / foreground status would be highlighted in the window selector menu | 11:04 |
| danboid | If those arent in 1.14 I'll file some requests | 11:05 |
| danboid | resizing windows under MATE on a 4K display is quite painful | 11:06 |
| ouroumov | danboid, easier resizing is already available in Ubuntu MATE 16.04 using MATE 1.12.1 : hold ALT down while doing a right click on a window quadrant, then drag. | 11:10 |
| danboid | ouroumov: So it does! Excellent! Thanks for pointing that out | 11:12 |
| ouroumov | yw | 11:13 |
| danboid | I thought 16.04 would have 1.14 - thats a shame | 11:16 |
| flexiondotorg | Why would you think that? | 11:16 |
| danboid | Not that I really use Ubuntu myself these days | 11:16 |
| danboid | 1.14 got released before 16.04 | 11:16 |
| danboid | didn't it? | 11:17 |
| danboid | obviously not soon enough | 11:17 |
| danboid | I've written a script to easily install Arch to ZFS btw Wimpy | 11:17 |
| danboid | https://github.com/danboid/ALEZ | 11:18 |
| danboid | I'm not entirely sold on Antegros or the way it handles ZFS currently | 11:19 |
| danboid | hence my script | 11:19 |
| danboid | It only supports GPT/BIOS currently and doesn't do RAIDZ yet | 11:20 |
| danboid | Installing to GRUB using MBR and ZFS seems to require a hack currently so I'm not so keen | 11:23 |
| danboid | It only supports single disk and mirrored configs atm | 11:24 |
| danboid | Might the 16.10 installer support ZFS? | 11:24 |
| danboid | My installer creates datasets that work with boot environments and that wasn't the case with Antergos last time I checked | 11:27 |
| mate|95922 | hi can i get help to install paltalk | 11:39 |
| mate|95922 | i did installet win | 11:39 |
| staeksauce | On the side of one of my monitors there's about an inch of space that goes top to bottom where I can't put icons or maximize windows into. Any idea what would case that? I still see the wallpaper, mouse can move over it no prob, rt click menu shows up if I rt click there... | 13:09 |
| fifty-sevenC | staeksauce, are you running unity by chance? | 13:10 |
| staeksauce | no, I have Compiz running | 13:11 |
| staeksauce | but it does seem like there's an invisible dock or something there | 13:11 |
| staeksauce | it behaves just like that | 13:12 |
| staeksauce | Mate with Compiz | 13:12 |
| fifty-sevenC | Maybe you have one of the docks turned on | 13:12 |
| staeksauce | omg, that was it | 13:13 |
| staeksauce | lol | 13:13 |
| staeksauce | thx | 13:13 |

| christian__ | Dear all | 13:43 |
| christian__ | I few minutes ago I started with ubuntu mate 16.04 | 13:43 |
| christian__ | It is great ! | 13:43 |
| christian__ | the only thing i miss is a search function in the software boutique | 13:44 |
| christian__ | Am I blind or is this not there? | 13:44 |
| ouroumov | christian__, hi | 13:50 |
| ouroumov | christian__, subscribe to Welcome Updates. I think that feature has been added recently | 13:50 |
| ouroumov | christian__, nevermind It's not in mine | 13:52 |
| ouroumov | But from reading the forum I think it's in development or in the process of being added, following multiple requests for the feature from users | 13:52 |
| christian__ | oh that would be great. | 13:53 |
| christian__ | as i started to set up my PC the way I need, it is a pitty to get all the lists to see if there is the apropriate package | 13:54 |
| ouroumov | hi tv_ crash logs are usually collected in the folder /var/crash | 13:54 |
| tv_ | i find crash lob | 13:55 |
| tv_ | i apt-get install dependes for see if is good | 13:55 |
| ouroumov | christian_ if you ever check the public log, you'll be interested to know that my Welcome version was not up to date. I ran the update and there is now a search feature for the software boutique | 13:59 |
| christian__ | dear ouroumov | 14:11 |
| christian__ | I did a update | 14:11 |
| christian__ | and what should I say : now there is a search function in the upper right corner! | 14:12 |
| christian__ | thanks | 14:12 |
| student | yolo | 14:15 |
| student | yoloy= | 14:15 |
| ouroumov | christian__, yup ^^ | 14:22 |
| spacey | hi, pluma starts, but I can't find the window/window is not created | 14:25 |
| spacey | it's not created on other workspaces either | 14:25 |
| wbz | hello | 15:03 |
| ouroumov | hi spacey | 15:28 |
| ouroumov | spacey, what version of Ubuntu MATE are you using? | 15:28 |
| spacey | 16.94 | 15:29 |
| spacey | whoop | 15:29 |
| spacey | 16.04 | 15:29 |
| ouroumov | spacey, what window manager are you using? (check it under MATE Tweak -> Windows) | 15:29 |
| spacey | marco, uh, non-composite | 15:31 |
| spacey | sorry, program-composite | 15:31 |
| spacey | 2nd choice | 15:31 |
| spacey | not sure of the english translation right now | 15:31 |
| ouroumov | It's "software compositor" | 15:31 |
| ouroumov | Okay | 15:32 |
| ouroumov | did you try starting pluma from the command line? | 15:32 |
| spacey | yes | 15:33 |
| ouroumov | Did you try starting it with the --new-window option? | 15:33 |
| spacey | no luck | 15:34 |
| ouroumov | please run the command "killall pluma" and try again | 15:34 |
| spacey | still won't create a window.. | 15:37 |
| ouroumov | spacey, I need to disconnect for the ride home. Please try switching you WM to Marco+Compton, see if that changes anything. I'll be back. | 15:40 |
| spacey | :) ok | 15:40 |
| ouroumov | You can also ask on the forum for more visibility | 15:40 |
| ouroumov | cheers | 15:40 |
| spacey | cheers | 15:41 |
| darnellwesh | a? | 16:13 |
| ouroumov | B. | 16:20 |
| gordonjcp | ouroumov: wow, you disconnect your IRC client? | 16:22 |
| ouroumov | gordonjcp, on my laptop, yes | 16:25 |
| ouroumov | My other machine should still be connected though | 16:25 |
| gordonjcp | ouroumov: tmux and irssi :-) | 16:25 |
| ouroumov | Yeah it's ouroumov_ | 16:25 |
| ouroumov | Oh | 16:25 |
| ouroumov | Hm | 16:26 |
| ouroumov | Yeah but I'm lazy, having to ssh into my server from the bus is u_u | 16:26 |
| gordonjcp | ouroumov: mosh :-) | 16:29 |
| Bokmuske | I understand the 16.04 release has been released. Now, how do I get my OS from 2014 to update to it? | 16:47 |
| Akuli | Bokmuske, what's your current ubuntu version? | 16:48 |
| Akuli | check with something like 'cat /etc/issue' on a terminal | 16:48 |
| Bokmuske | That's why I was a bit vague; caja doesn't tell me. | 16:49 |
| Bokmuske | OK | 16:49 |
| Bokmuske | Curiously: Though it sys it's copyright 2014, it's actually 15.04. | 16:50 |
| Bokmuske | "says" | 16:50 |
| mar_robhd | hi | 16:56 |
| Bokmuske | Does that tell you enough? | 16:57 |
| Akuli | ummh, 15.04 is probably your ubuntu version, not when your mate version was compiled | 16:59 |
| Akuli | Anyway, i want to know what you get for running cat /etc/issue on a terminal | 16:59 |
| Akuli | Or if you fear the terminal, open caja, go to /etc with it and tell me what's in a file called issue | 16:59 |
| Bokmuske | Ubuntu 15.04 \n \l | 16:59 |
| Bokmuske | Ubuntu 15.04 \n \l | 16:59 |
| Bokmuske | (Well, only once; I had trouble pasting it.) | 17:00 |
| nomic | mate 15.04 is out of support in weeks | 17:03 |
| nomic | 16.04 is the long term release, supported until 2021 I think | 17:04 |
| nomic | 5 years | 17:04 |
| nomic | yeah | 17:04 |
| ouroumov_ | No, it's three years | 17:04 |
| nomic | sudo apt-get upgrade -- you do not even have to log off | 17:04 |
| nomic | ok | 17:04 |
| nomic | its not a hellish gamble/nightmare / all night / cannot use your computer -- as with windows 10 | 17:05 |
| nomic | easy. | 17:05 |
| nomic | not an issue. | 17:05 |
| * nomic did it on my pi3 while playing a movie & continuing to work | 17:05 | |
| ouroumov_ | So Bokmuske you need to upgrade to 15.10 first, then from 15.10 to 16.04 | 17:06 |
| nomic | reboot .. 16.04 | 17:06 |
| nomic | movie in HD | 17:06 |
| nomic | so cool | 17:06 |
| nomic | bbl. | 17:06 |
| Bokmuske | Yes, I know why I want to upgrade; I just needed to know how. | 17:07 |
| Bokmuske | If I have to do it in two steps, does apt-get know that? | 17:09 |
| === apessoa is now known as Guest84654 | ||
| nomic | http://www.ubuntumaniac.com/2016/01/how-to-upgrade-from-ubuntu-1510-to.html | 17:10 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, your graphical software updater doesn't propose you to do the upgrade to 15.10? | 17:11 |
| nomic | How To : Upgrade From Ubuntu 15.10 to Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus (LTS) | 17:11 |
| Bokmuske | This graphical software updater being which program, or what option in the menu? | 17:11 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, I'm not sure of the menu layout but on 16.04 it's under System -> Administration -> Software Updater | 17:13 |
| ouroumov_ | You can also start it from the terminal with the command "update-manager" | 17:13 |
| Bokmuske | Closest menu option to that tells me the software on my machine is updated or up to date. (Talk about bad translations.) | 17:15 |
| Bokmuske | Yes, update-manager gets me the same program. No mention of upgrading. | 17:16 |
| Bokmuske | It's likely this computer is configured to not bother with non-LTS releases, though. | 17:16 |
| ouroumov_ | start it with "update-manager -c" | 17:17 |
| Bokmuske | But it doesn't tell me about the LTS release either. | 17:17 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, you know 15.04 is not an LTS right? | 17:17 |
| ouroumov_ | It's a version that is no longer supported. | 17:17 |
| Bokmuske | Yes, that's why I'm trying to get to an LTS. 15.04 was just a stopgap when I installed the new computer. | 17:18 |
| ouroumov_ | Okay | 17:18 |
| ouroumov_ | Anyway there's a way to start a release upgrade from command line | 17:19 |
| Bokmuske | sudo apt-get upgrade? | 17:20 |
| ouroumov_ | command is "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" | 17:20 |
| Bokmuske | WOuldn't the -d get me a developer release, rather than a public one? | 17:21 |
| ouroumov_ | No | 17:23 |
| ouroumov_ | 15.10 is no longer under development | 17:23 |
| ouroumov_ | By that I mean, | 17:23 |
| ouroumov_ | The latest devel release of 15.10 is the actual release of 15.10 | 17:23 |
| gordonjcp | I've just stuck a hard disk out of a broken laptop into a spare one I had kicking about | 17:24 |
| gordonjcp | Xubuntu 12.04 | 17:24 |
| gordonjcp | "stat syslog.1" suggests it was last run 14/8/2012 | 17:25 |
| gordonjcp | hm, 840 updated packages? | 17:25 |
| Bokmuske | OK. Let's see if that works, for without the -d it was my first and failed try. | 17:25 |
| Bokmuske | No new version found. | 17:26 |
| ouroumov_ | ... | 17:26 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, when's the last time you did a software update? | 17:26 |
| Bokmuske | Any update at all? Just before trying to upgrade the OS. | 17:27 |
| ouroumov_ | okay | 17:27 |
| ouroumov_ | Well I'm out of ideas for a release upgrade here. | 17:27 |
| ouroumov_ | You don't have a separate /home partition by any chance? | 17:28 |
| Bokmuske | I expect I have, yes. | 17:29 |
| gordonjcp | sounds like a clean install is the best bet then | 17:30 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, please check using the command: lsblk -o NAME,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT | 17:30 |
| ouroumov_ | (paste the result to pastebin or such) | 17:30 |
| Bokmuske | Sighs. I've been using Ubuntu since C.. C...; why do these LTS upgrades never work the way you expect them? | 17:32 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, to avoid hardships in the future, please keep up with supported versions of Ubuntu. | 17:32 |
| gordonjcp | I'm not sure you're supposed to upgrade from one LTS to another | 17:32 |
| Bokmuske | Then what's the use of LTS-es? | 17:33 |
| Bokmuske | But this is the first LTS of Mate; there was nothing to keep up with. | 17:33 |
| gordonjcp | Bokmuske: servers and such, where you don't want to be upgrading frequently | 17:33 |
| ouroumov_ | gordonjcp, yes LTS to LTS updates are supposed to be smooth | 17:33 |
| gordonjcp | ouroumov_: I've never bothered | 17:33 |
| gordonjcp | it's easier just to do a clean install | 17:34 |
| Bokmuske | OK, root is on sda, /home is on sdb. | 17:34 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, but there was 15.10 you were supposed to update to a while ago | 17:34 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, I don't know why it wasn't done for your machine. | 17:34 |
| Bokmuske | Hence the need for a stopgap when I went to MATE instead. | 17:34 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, maybe you disabled all release upgrades in the software settings or such | 17:34 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, that's good news | 17:35 |
| Bokmuske | Where do I find such a setting? | 17:35 |
| ouroumov_ | System -> Administration -> Software & Updates | 17:35 |
| Bokmuske | OK, it is set to only notify for LTS releases, but I don't see anything about not installing them when asked. | 17:38 |
| ouroumov_ | Well anyway, you better do a clean install IMO. | 17:39 |
| Bokmuske | Sighs. | 17:39 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, it shouldn't be too painful since you have a separate home partition | 17:40 |
| ouroumov_ | Do you know how to install the OS with the manual partitioning? | 17:41 |
| Bokmuske | No, it's more in the how did I do that last time, part, and in the less than user-friendly interfaces of most OS-installers. | 17:41 |
| ouroumov_ | You go to "something else" when it proposes you to erase disk and install | 17:41 |
| Bokmuske | Yes, I know how to manually partition, or at least, I'll probably recall when I get there. | 17:43 |
| ouroumov_ | You Create two partitions on your SDA: One for / with most of the space of SDA, the other for use as swap with as much space as you have RAM. Then you use the whole /sdb for /home and you make sure not to check the "format partition" stuff | 17:43 |
| Bokmuske | I'l have to trust that 3,9G is correct for Swap; I don't recall the memsize. | 17:44 |
| Bokmuske | For some reason it has three partitions as it is now; an sda2 of 1K that I can't recall the purpose of. | 17:45 |
| Bokmuske | I'd better not use the entire sdb for /home, as I'd wipe out my other partitions if I did. | 17:46 |
| gordonjcp | swap? | 17:47 |
| gordonjcp | oldschool... | 17:47 |
| Bokmuske | Well: [SWAP] | 17:47 |
| gordonjcp | I don't think I've set up a swap partition in years | 17:48 |
| gordonjcp | memory is basically free these days | 17:48 |
| Bokmuske | And yes, my school is some 4 centuries old. | 17:48 |
| gordonjcp | ah, one of those modern polytechnics? | 17:49 |
| gordonjcp | :-D | 17:49 |
| Bokmuske | I think I used a USB stick as a boot disk of sorts last time; does that make sense? | 17:50 |
| gordonjcp | yes | 17:50 |
| ouroumov_ | yes | 17:51 |
| gordonjcp | you can boot off USB | 17:51 |
| gordonjcp | you can actually install onto a USB stick | 17:51 |
| Bokmuske | So, how will I have gotten the image on the USB to boot from it? | 17:51 |
| ouroumov_ | It's the standard way to do it nowadays | 17:51 |
| gordonjcp | then you *really* don't want swap, and you want a fastish stick | 17:51 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, insert your USB | 17:52 |
| Bokmuske | (Yes, but four centruries ago a stick was made of wood.) | 17:52 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, Download the .iso of 16.04 | 17:52 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, With the USB in, type "df -h", identify the /dev/sdX of your USB stick | 17:52 |
| gordonjcp | booting from USB has been standard for about ten years now | 17:52 |
| ouroumov_ | Then use the command: "sudo dd if=file.iso of=/dev/sdX && sync" | 17:53 |
| ouroumov_ | Then you should be good to go | 17:53 |
| gordonjcp | ouroumov_: in a few minutes :-) | 17:53 |
| ouroumov_ | Be warned that if you use the wrong /dev/sdX in your dd command, you will nuke your filesystems. | 17:53 |
| Bokmuske | gordonjcp: Sure, but when you don't live in a mem-factory and have a high-mem non-USB-boot computer, the world looks different. | 17:54 |
| gordonjcp | Bokmuske: what on earth have you got that can run Ubuntu 12.04 and can't boot from USB? | 17:54 |
| ouroumov_ | what | 17:54 |
| Bokmuske | Hold on copy and pasting | 17:55 |
| ouroumov_ | gordonjcp, what are you talking about? | 17:55 |
| ouroumov_ | gordonjcp, he's running 15.04 | 17:55 |
| gordonjcp | 18:54 < Bokmuske> gordonjcp: Sure, but when you don't live in a mem-factory and have a high-mem non-USB-boot computer, the world looks different. | 17:55 |
| ouroumov_ | oh | 17:55 |
| gordonjcp | okay, 15.04 | 17:55 |
| gordonjcp | that's worse | 17:55 |
| ouroumov_ | It is. | 17:55 |
| gordonjcp | wtf can run 15.04 and can't boot from USB? | 17:55 |
| ouroumov_ | It really is. | 17:55 |
| gordonjcp | I am currently on a 12-year-old Toshiba laptop picked out of a scrpa pile at work | 17:56 |
| gordonjcp | booted from USB | 17:56 |
| ouroumov_ | gordonjcp, I don't think that's what he meant by non-usb-boot computer | 17:56 |
| Bokmuske | The 12.04 ran on a machine that had a good set of mem-slots, but not such a good BIOS. | 17:56 |
| ouroumov_ | Okay, maybe it's me that's completely misunderstanding everything | 17:57 |
| Bokmuske | The 15.04 is what I have on this machine. | 17:57 |
| gordonjcp | Bokmuske: how far from north-west Scotland are you? Come and take away some Core 2 Duos | 17:57 |
| ouroumov_ | lol | 17:58 |
| gordonjcp | most have at least 2GB of RAM and an 40GB SATA drive (intended for storing everything on a network server) | 17:58 |
| Bokmuske | -12 and -5, probably. | 17:58 |
| gordonjcp | or P4s if you don't mind a high electric bill but wnat to stay warm | 17:58 |
| gordonjcp | have as many P4s as you like | 17:58 |
| ouroumov_ | gordonjcp, you're one of the guys from MATE on leeds? | 17:58 |
| gordonjcp | ouroumov_: no, I'm just an enthusiastic user | 17:59 |
| gordonjcp | I'm a little north of Glasgow, Leeds is in another country | 17:59 |
| Bokmuske | It would be easier to put the travelling cost in the mem. But, thanks for the mention; if I have money to spare at some point, I'll have a look at mem-upgrades. | 17:59 |
| ouroumov_ | Right, sorry for my poor knowledge of Geography | 18:00 |
| Bokmuske | Is this going to wipe clean my USB stick? | 18:00 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, let's say you'll loose everything on it for sure | 18:00 |
| ouroumov_ | So yeah, back it up | 18:00 |
| gordonjcp | Bokmuske: in all seriousness it's worth spending money on having at least 4GB of RAM and an SSD | 18:01 |
| gordonjcp | and of the two, if you can only get one get the SSD | 18:01 |
| Bokmuske | Right. I fear I've used my window talking to you guys, but thanks for the help. Gets me some time recalling what stick I used that apparently had the size and no content. | 18:01 |
| Bokmuske | Well, considering my SWAP is 3,9, and I have a separate disk for the OS, I expect I have just that. | 18:02 |
| Bokmuske | "3.9G" for those on the other side of the North Sea. | 18:03 |
| Bokmuske | Anyway, thanks for now. I'll see if I can make it happen some time later this evening. | 18:03 |
| gordonjcp | Bokmuske: you would not believe how much of a difference an SSD makes | 18:03 |
| ouroumov_ | Bokmuske, good luck | 18:03 |
| Bokmuske | Yeah, I think that's what the seller said when we discussed what this computer was going to look like. It's just that once it runs, I live with my choices and tend to forget the details. | 18:04 |
| Bokmuske | Thanks. | 18:04 |
| pilne | hrm, i'm not sure i like "apt" more than "apt-get" and friends | 18:07 |
| ouroumov_ | I do | 18:12 |
| ouroumov_ | It's 4 chars shorter ^^ | 18:12 |
| pilne | apt-get update && apt-get upgrade vs apt update && apt list --upgradable isn't much of a tradeoff for me | 18:14 |
| ouroumov_ | Why don't you just use "apt upgrade"? | 18:15 |
| pilne | i'll try that next time, i don't recall it showing the packages that were going to be upgraded | 18:15 |
| ahmed | test | 18:40 |
| ahmed | Hello, this is my first time. | 18:41 |
| ahmed | Is this best distory in linux ? | 18:44 |
| gordonjcp | ahmed: depends | 18:45 |
| gordonjcp | ahmed: it's far from ideal on a server | 18:46 |
| gordonjcp | it's pretty good for a desktop | 18:46 |
| ahmed | nice i want to entertainment | 18:57 |
| gordonjcp | ahmed: maybe you should look at Kodi and indeed Kodibuntu | 18:58 |
| gordonjcp | although Kodibuntu is more for a PC that will be hooked up to a TV | 18:59 |
| ahmed | really why i should using kodibuntu? | 19:02 |
| staeksauce | what themes are compatible with Ubuntu Mate? I'm having no luck with anything I find on gnome-look? | 19:33 |

| TheMarius | any ideas? | 20:52 |
| TheMarius | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tL34TUT2rc <- its the same as this i guess | 20:52 |
| TheMarius | uh.. i thought it was running trough USB | 20:55 |
| TheMarius | never mind .. haha | 20:55 |
| TheMarius | BUT ... i aint got no sound in skype | 20:55 |
| TheMarius | happened suddenly | 20:55 |
| Naseem | Hi how do i install skype on ubuntu | 21:24 |
| Naseem | ?? | 21:25 |
| YankDownUnder | Naseem, "sudo apt-get install skype" | 21:27 |
| fifty-sevenC | sudo apt-get install skype | 21:27 |
| Naseem | Thanks | 21:27 |
| fifty-sevenC | Mate is moving to GTK3 literally days after I was asking about hi dpi screens. xD | 21:27 |
| Naseem | Is it possible to play The division which is a windoes game on ubuntu if so how ? | 21:28 |
| Naseem | The Division Game > | 21:28 |
| fifty-sevenC | Does it say it supports Linux? | 21:28 |
| Naseem | It says not compatible | 21:29 |
| fifty-sevenC | There you go | 21:29 |
| Naseem | So no 3rd party software to do some majic ? | 21:30 |
| TheMarius | hmm... isnt mate already running gtk3? | 21:31 |
| Naseem | I am very new to ubuntu | 21:32 |
| Naseem | sorry whats it means gtk3? | 21:32 |
| YankDownUnder | Naseem, GTK (GIMP Toolkit) is a library for creating Graphical User Interfaces. The library is available under the GPL license. Using this library, you can create open-source, free or commercial programs. The library has the name GIMP toolkit (GTK) because it was originally created for developing GIMP. | 21:35 |
| Naseem | Tried searching in ubuntu software but cant find under the name GIMP toolkit | 21:38 |
| YankDownUnder | Naseem, Are you wanting to install GIMP, or something else? | 21:39 |
| Naseem | I really dont know how it will help me | 21:40 |
| Naseem | I wanted to play some windows games on ubuntu | 21:40 |
| Naseem | thats the idea | 21:40 |
| YankDownUnder | Naseem, GIMP is a graphics package - like "Photoshop" in a way...but that's not what you're trying to do, is it? You're asking about games and the likes, right? | 21:41 |
| Naseem | yeah | 21:41 |
| Naseem | no i dont need any photoshop or photo editor | 21:41 |
| Naseem | May be i should install windows 7 and dual boot | 21:42 |
| Naseem | windows for games and ubuntu for the rest | 21:42 |
| fifty-sevenC | I wonder what benefit exactly there will be in packaging parts of mate in snaps | 21:43 |
| YankDownUnder | Naseem, Coolbeans...well, that being said, I'm sure that if you hang out long enough, someone will be along to give you a hand...personally, I don't play games, so I'm not going to be a big help to you...so just be patient...chill out, have a coffee/tea, relax...Oh, BTW, if you haven't done so already, you might want to install "Synaptic" - it's the better software package manager...heaps more detailed and easier to | 21:43 |
| YankDownUnder | customise... | 21:43 |
| fifty-sevenC | I wonder if there is a way I could contribute to the move to GTK3 or snaps | 21:45 |
| Naseem | installed it thanks | 21:45 |
| fifty-sevenC | I don't have any experience with C, however | 21:45 |
| fifty-sevenC | Well, aside from reading it | 21:45 |
| Naseem | now something bit serious | 21:46 |
| fifty-sevenC | I'm 99% sure no one has played The Division on linux. | 21:46 |
| Naseem | My harddisk specs are 128 SSD + 1TB Harddisk | 21:46 |
| Naseem | i installed ubuntu on the SSD 128gb today | 21:47 |
| Naseem | Now i would like to know if i install windows on the 1TB will it make problems for ubuntu ? | 21:48 |
| YankDownUnder | Naseem, What version of Windows? | 21:50 |
| Naseem | Windows 7 | 21:50 |
| Naseem | ultimate | 21:50 |

| Naseem | how do i install torrent in ubuntu | 21:55 |
| YankDownUnder | Naseem, You can buy me a coffee later, bro. | 21:55 |
| Naseem | :) | 21:55 |
| YankDownUnder | Naseem, "Transmission" - "sudo apt-get transmission" --> if it's not already installed... | 21:55 |
| Naseem | E: Invalid operation transmission | 21:56 |
| fifty-sevenC | apt-get install | 21:56 |
| fifty-sevenC | But it is already there | 21:56 |
| YankDownUnder | My bad...lack of coffee...sorry about that... | 21:57 |
| fifty-sevenC | I always forget the verb | 21:57 |
| Naseem | oh yeah its there | 21:57 |
| Naseem | i just search | 21:57 |
| fifty-sevenC | apt-cache something. Oh need apt-cache search something. apt-get something. oops meant apt-get install something | 21:58 |
| YankDownUnder | I'd forget my head if it wasn't stitched onto my neck...or bolted...can't remember... | 21:58 |
