zp2133Hey all, is there a way to enable/install a thunderbird or mail icon in the panel. I've tried the firetray plugin for TB, but its no longer maintained.01:49
randallzp2133, pending on your panel version, yes01:51
zp2133randall, I'm running Ubuntu-Mate 16.04 Mate Panel 1.12.201:52
randallif it's like redmond or cupertino, I'm pretty sure you can drag the icon to place it on the panel or something01:53
zp2133ahh...sorry man, I wasn't very clear. Looking for a mail notification icon.01:54
SwitchesYou should be able to "right click" the app and then "add launcher to panel" as far as a "tray indicator" goes I'm not so sure, unless someone can maybe get ubuntu "message appindicator" working01:55
zp2133Firetray is great, but wasn't sure if there was mail notification native to mate, kind of like the unity notification system or xfce osd-notify01:55
fifty-sevenCSomeone message me asking for help while I am on a phonecall and I come back and they already gone. :'(02:01

QuenzHow do I clear old network entries from caja? I renamed my windows computer and it now lists two entries, one with the old name, and one with the new name06:18
ouroumov_Hi Quenz06:18
QuenzHello ouroumov_, can you help me?06:18
ouroumov_Not sure06:19
* dpaterso thinks Trump statements are racist06:19
ouroumov_Quenz, you have bookmarks for network shares basically?06:19
QuenzThere's a network section in caja that lists all the computers connected to our router basically06:19
QuenzAnd it still lists my windows computer's old name, as well as the new one06:20
* dpaterso wonders why Mat is no longer hosting the Linux Action Show06:20
Quenzcaja being the file manager in mate06:20
ouroumov_Quenz, you can't right click the entry you don't want and pick "remove" ?06:20
QuenzThere is no "remove"06:21
* dpaterso thinks Mate is a superior Linux desktop platform06:21
ouroumov_weird, I have remove if I right click network in caja06:21
ouroumov_Quenz, what version of Ubuntu MATE are you running?06:21
QuenzSays 1.10.2 in about06:22
ouroumov_Quenz, please open a terminal with CTRL+ALT+T and type lsb_release -a06:23
Quenz15.1006:23
dpatersoxenial06:24
ouroumov_Quenz, ok06:24
ouroumov_So yeah, I don't know how to do it in Wily Quenz (that's the version you're using)06:24
QuenzIt is the latest version, right?06:25
ouroumov_Quenz, have you considered upgrading to Ubuntu MATE 16.04 ?06:25
ouroumov_No it's not :)06:25
ouroumov_16.04 LTS is out now06:25
QuenzHuh I only installed it like a week or so ago06:25
ouroumov_But first point release hasn't happened yet so there's a few bugs and that's why it's not advertised by the software updater06:26
ouroumov_Quenz, weird, you went to the Ubuntu MATE download page on the website?06:26
QuenzYup06:26
QuenzI'll upgrade06:27
ouroumov_You should have had the 16.04 download option ^^06:27
ouroumov_Quenz, hold on06:27
ouroumov_Before considering the upgrade: do you have AMD graphics?06:27
ouroumov_If you have, you might wanna reconsider06:29
QuenzToo late but I have intel graphics06:29
ouroumov_Okay06:29
alkisgWhat's wrong with AMD?06:29
QuenzOh wait no it's asking to confirm06:30
* alkisg is on xenial + AMD currently...06:30
QuenzIs intel graphics okay with 16?06:30
ouroumov_alkisg, amdgpu driver has support for a limited range of hardware at the moment06:30
ouroumov_Quenz, yes06:30
alkisgamdgpu is only targetting a limited range of hardware though :)06:31
alkisgIt doesn't affect 90% of amd users...06:31
ouroumov_http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/03/ubuntu-drops-amd-catalyst-fglrx-driver-16-0406:31
alkisgYup, all those still use radeon fine06:31
alkisgamdgpu won't replace radeon...06:31
Quenzwow it just said i was going 2000 PB/s for a moment there06:38
alkisgIt shouldn't need more than 1 sec to download the whole internet then, provided you have enough free space on your hard disk... :D06:38
Quenz:D06:38

mikolotkoAnyone there? I need help.12:52
mikolotkoCan't install any program, including synaptic. It says "package does not exist".12:52
ouroumov_Hi mikolotko12:53
ouroumov_mikolotko, you're using the software boutique?12:53
mikolotkoHi there. Yes, I'm using the software boutique. Before that, I used the terminal, "sudo apt-get install synaptic"12:54
mikolotkoCan't install even on terminal.12:54
ouroumov_Okay12:54
mikolotkoThis is a fresh install, old VAIO computer, Pentium 4 era.12:55
ouroumov_Please make sure you've subscribed to Welcome Updates and that the software boutique is set to retrieve the latest software listings12:55
mikolotkoHmmm, where can I access that?12:56
mikolotkooh, just saw the welcome updates12:56
ouroumov_Okay12:56
mikolotko"restart in a few minutes" brb12:56
ouroumov_Update?13:00
mikolotkoAs for "the software boutique is set to retrieve the latest software listings"?13:00
mikolotkoStill updating cache13:00
ouroumov_Okay13:00
ouroumov_I need to go to the library to return a book13:01
mikolotkoOkay. Thanks for your help, btw. :)13:01
ouroumov_After it's done updating cache etc run the fixes from the software boutique (last icon on the right) and keep us updated13:01
ouroumov_be back in something like 20m13:01
mikolotkoThat did the trick. I'm installing synaptic now. Thank you very much. :)13:03
mikolotkoI go now, be back tomorrow. I can sleep now. :)13:04
fifty-sevenCHi ouroumov15:36
fifty-sevenCouroumov_,15:36
ouroumovhi fifty-sevenC16:10
fifty-sevenCouroumov, do you know what benefit there is supposed to be for mate to move into a snap?16:14
ouroumovYes I do16:15
ouroumovThe word is: more flexibility on software updates16:15
ouroumovAs well as: more software able to run16:15
ouroumovAs well as: some sandboxing of the applications16:16
fifty-sevenCThe things I read about it make it sound like days or yore windows apps bundling dlls16:16
ouroumovWell, sure16:16
fifty-sevenCWhat benefit does mate get from being sandboxed?16:17
fifty-sevenCAnd how does this affect the standard linux directory structure?16:17
fifty-sevenCis there going to be a /snaps/mate* ?16:17
ouroumovWell, all MATE components that do network access from whatever reason will profit from a sandbox16:18
ali1234none, and the snap would have to be configured to remove most of the sandboxing for it to even work at all16:18
ouroumovfifty-sevenC, those are not questions I can answer16:18
ali1234it affects the standard linux directory structure heavily - it basically completely throws it away16:18
ali1234snaps or flatpak or appimage are not suitable for packaging an entire desktop yet16:19
ouroumovali1234, you're not pro-snap?16:19
ali1234i am pro snap i just think it's funny the way people think it will fix all problems overnight16:19
ali1234it won't16:19
ouroumovWell, of course.16:20
ouroumovAre some people really thinking that?16:20
ali1234yes16:20
ali1234not just some people16:21
ouroumovThey must not be very well informed about general computer security :/16:21
ali1234not just some people, but people who actually work at canonical (but outside the snap teams)16:21
ali1234the snap team has all these ideas of what they want to do but so far they're not even close to implementing it16:22
ali1234many people look at the list of goals as if they are something that exists now16:23
ali1234and then say things like "snap will fix all the problems with nvidia driver, nvidia can just make a snap out of them and it will work perfectly"16:23
ali1234that might be the idea but as of yet there isn't even a plan of how that would work16:24
ali1234snap is so very much under development that they weren't even able to do a release for 16.0416:25
fifty-sevenCsnaps are in 16.0416:26
fifty-sevenCsnaps find16:26
fifty-sevenCIt is a pretty short list though16:26
ouroumovSo I've reported my first bugs on launchpad and upstream GNOME16:28
ouroumovIt was underwhelming16:29
ouroumovfirst bug *16:29
fifty-sevenCUnless you're getting paid to report bugs it will always be underwhelming. lol16:30
fifty-sevenCWhen you're paid to report bugs everyone is like,'Good job!' except the guy who broke it and he is like,'Fuck you!" lol16:31
ouroumovWell for now it's still better than when I reported one to my school's IT dept16:31
ouroumovAt least I wasn't told (yet) "we can't do anything about that. Closed."16:32
ouroumovIt was triaged and set to priority "low" :/16:33
fifty-sevenCThey will make it higher priority if there is no workaround or a lot of people report it16:35
fifty-sevenCWhat is the bug?16:35
ouroumovPremature timeout of wifi password input: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1589535 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76732116:36
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1589535 in network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) "nm-applet silently timesout on long 'WPA/WPA2 Personal' password input" [Low,Triaged]16:36

ouroumovThanks ubottu, you're a good baut. :o16:36
fifty-sevenCThat is a weird bug16:43
ouroumovQuite16:44
ouroumovAnd I think there's a good chance only my compatriots will be affected16:44
ouroumovPasswords that take longer than 25 seconds to type are not that frequent16:44

mate|72852why on google chrome, when i minimize it, i cannot use my desktop, like the icons?17:22
ouroumovmate|72852, can you explain some more? Hadn't heard that one yet.17:23
mate|72852well, i recently installed ubuntu mate 16.04 lts17:23
mate|72852i installed google chrome from software boutique17:23
mate|72852i realised that once i minimize it, i cannot access my desktop icons17:24
mate|72852i see the17:24
mate|72852them*17:24
mate|72852i cannot click them  though, nor can i right click the desktop for options17:24
ouroumovI can't reproduce your bug17:25
mate|72852really?17:25
ouroumovYes, are you sure this is related to google chrome?17:25
mate|72852im using a toshiba satellite c50 b 14d17:25
mate|72852yes17:25
mate|72852its google chrome17:25
mate|72852not firefox17:25
mate|72852or opera, etc17:26
ouroumovWhat option are you using under MATE Tweak -> Windows -> Window Manager ?17:26
mate|72852compiz17:26
ouroumovProbably a compiz bug17:26
mate|72852marco makes my screen go weird17:26
mate|72852so i use compiz17:27
mate|72852which works fine17:27
ouroumovcompiz is buggy17:27
mate|72852true..17:27
ouroumovWhat in marco makes your screen go weird?17:27
mate|72852when i drag windows across the screen, the whole screen flickers17:27
mate|72852like MAD17:27
ouroumovAlso, marco option are you using (Marco (no comp) - Marco (Software comp) - Marco + Compton)17:28
mate|72852ive tried them all before17:28
ouroumovhm17:28
mate|72852they do pretty much the same thing except marco compton is smoother17:28
ouroumovAnd you had the flickering on all versions?17:28
mate|72852i havent tried on the no comp one17:29
ouroumovYou should consider filing a separate bug report for that flickering bug.17:29
ouroumovIt's an interesting one17:29
mate|72852and where can i do that? im new to linux btw17:29
ouroumovUbuntu has a bug tracker @ https://launchpad.net/bugs17:30
mate|72852ive only been using ubuntu 14.04 for like 2 months, then kubuntu 14.04 for a short while, then ubuntu mate 16.0417:30

ml2mstHi all, I would like to talk about a problem with the OpenMSX emulator on Ubuntu MATE for Raspberry Pi20:00
ouroumovhi ml2mst20:01
ml2mstI think there is something wrong with the dependant cbios package20:01
ouroumovml2mst, not sure you're gonna find an expert with that here20:02
ouroumovThough feel free to stay a while20:02
ouroumovWe do however, have a rather lively community forum20:02
ml2mstOK, I've been using Ubuntu MATE on PC as well right from the start.20:03
ouroumov^^20:04
ml2mst@ourmoumov perhaps I should figure out the package maintainer and ask him/her to solve the problem20:05
ouroumovsure :]20:06
ml2mstProblem only exists on Ubuntu MATE 16.04 for Raspberry PI, wasn't an issue on previous releases nor IA32/6420:08
