[00:00] <ouroumov> the keyboard shortcuts are listed in the welcome splash screen
[00:00] <ouroumov> Section "Getting Started"
[00:01] <rvazquez> Got it...thanks ouroumov
[01:56] <Datz> Hi, I'm having scaling problems with my 2560x1440 res monitor. A lot of the text is quite small, and Altering font sizes in "Appearance" doesn't seem to do anythng for some apps, like Caja.
[01:57] <Datz> Also, I've found this for ubuntu unity, but I'm not sure if there's something for MATE like it. http://askubuntu.com/questions/472262/adapt-ubuntu-to-a-high-dpi-resolution-screen
[01:57] <ouroumov> Datz, I hear MATE 1.14 has better scaling support
[01:57] <ouroumov> Datz, and a ppa was published to allow people to set up 1.14 on Ubuntu MATE 16.04
[01:57] <Datz> humm, I see
[01:58] <Datz> That might be nice
[01:58] <Datz> Yeah, looks like I'm on 1.12.1
[01:58] <ouroumov> Hang on one sec
[02:01] <ouroumov> Yeah, actually I'm not sure about the better scaling in 1.1
[02:01] <ouroumov> It's not mentioned in the change log
[02:01] <ouroumov> Anyway, if you want to try check how here: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/mate-desktop-1-14-for-ubuntu-mate-16-04-is-available-now/6722
[02:02] <Datz> Ok, I'll take a look. Thanks.
[02:03] <Datz> Well, I'll probably just give it a shot, and see what I find.
[03:00] <Datz> ouroumov: well, I updated and I didn't notice any scaling setting in display or anywhere, but suddenly while looking through those settings, the font size of the file manager shifted to a little more reasonable size. So I guess problem solved. thanks.
[03:30] <ouroumov> Datz, thanks for the update
[03:30] <Datz> np
[05:30] <mate|90264> Are tech support questions welcome here?
[05:31] <nomic> yes
[05:32] <nomic> its not always busy -- you may get a better answer on forums (ubuntu mate forum/ub untu forum)
[05:32] <nomic> if nobody knows or its unattended
[05:32] <mate|90264> I just installed MATE and I want to switch to it from GNOME. How do I do that?
[05:32] <nomic> you installed mate, so you have the mate (gnome) desktop
[05:32] <nomic> gnome = the desktop
[05:33] <nomic> what do you mean by "switch to it from gnome"
[05:33] <nomic> what are you running gnome on
[05:33] <mate|90264> I have Ubuntu GNOME running on my pc right now
[05:33] <nomic> you have ubuntu
[05:33] <nomic> the ubuntu os
[05:33] <mate|90264> Yes
[05:33] <nomic> to install you either overwrite, or install beside, your current os
[05:34] <nomic> = ubuntu
[05:34] <mate|90264> Oh ok
[05:34] <nomic> so you can have situation where it 'dual boots' (options at the time of boot) - ubuntu or mate
[05:34] <nomic> if you have enough disk space for both
[05:34] <nomic> or, you can try ubuntu mate in virtualbox
[05:34] <mate|90264> So I either have to completely rewrite the disk or dual boot?
[05:34] <nomic> or, you can try ubuntu mate by running it from the 'live CD' without installing it
[05:35] <mate|90264> I see
[05:35] <nomic> you can try it out by running it from the 'live CD' thats what the live bit means
[05:35] <nomic> it is 'live run' (off the CD), or 'installation'
[05:35] <nomic> on installation you have option to install beside  your existing os, or overwrite it
[05:35] <mate|90264> Is it possible to seamlessly switch between GNOME and MATE?
[05:35] <nomic> yeah "dual boot"
[05:36] <nomic> you mean "ubuntu and mate2
[05:36] <nomic> ubuntu = the OS
[05:36] <nomic> gnome is the desktop
[05:36] <nomic> gnome is not the os .. you do not install gnome
[05:36] <nomic> ie. as you would install "mate"
[05:36] <mate|90264> yes
[05:36] <nomic> gnome runs on top of ubuntu
[05:37] <nomic> you can have ubuntu and mate installed on the same disk -- with a selection between the two Operating systems, available at boot time
[05:37] <mate|90264> Thanks for help. I think I will overwrite my drive with Ubuntu MATE
[05:38] <nomic> back up any files you need
[05:39] <mate|90264> Ok. I will do that.
[08:33] <WattisLove> Hi. What's the proper way to install a previous version of a program with a deb without reinstalling the current version first? (alkisg?)
[08:41] <nomic> WattisLove ask on ubuntu forums, in the #ubuntu channel or on ubuntu mate forums -- this place isn't always attended to (specially a.m.) .. #ubuntu is far busier
[08:42] <WattisLove> ok nomic :)
[08:43] <nomic> i think debs have their own version (in the file name?)
[08:43] <WattisLove> yeah, you know, I tried installing an older ibreoffice version from the debs
[08:45] <WattisLove> But when I open libreoffice it's still the newer version I had. The way I tried the older version was with dpkg -i *.deb. It didn't report any errors, and additionally when I run whereis libreoffice I get two /usr/bin/libreoffice. I suspect I ended up with both versions at the same time or something like that, but I'm happy to wait for alkisg 's opinion on this. He was the one who originally suggested this to me
