TheSilentLinkhello is it normal that then I press shutdown I doesn't do it straight away, but instead the panels go white and then about 15secs later the splash screen appears?08:45
SuperEngineerI think not. What do you mean by "press shutdown", a physical button or thing to click screen?09:00
TheSilentLinkSuperEngineer:the shutdown button at the top right09:12
TheSilentLinkSuperEngineer: the theme disappears and then 10-30secs later the splash screen appears09:13
SuperEngineerhmmm... doesn't sound right.   UM does occasionally go to Ubuntu Mate with 'progress dots'; then eventually shuts down cleanly09:17
SuperEngineerNever bothered to look behind it though as it always manages a clean shutdown when it finishes doing whatever it it doing09:18
SuperEngineer[closing a process is my assumption as no disk activity sshown on my pc]09:19

Guest22289hello09:30
AkuliHello Guest2228909:30
Guest22289I am new to linux.. and I've just installed mate os09:30
Guest22289I am using Dell XPS L502x machine09:31
Guest22289which has intel processor and Nvidia GPU09:31
Guest22289The one with optimus technology09:31
Guest22289So.. my question is which GPU driver I need to install09:31
Akulitake a screenshot of the choices you have with the screenshot tool in the menu09:32
Akuliyou can post it to pasteboard.co and give us a link to it09:32
Guest22289sorry..but where do I find choices for drivers??09:32
Akulii think there's a thing called software and updates in the menu09:33
Guest22289okay, I found that menu09:34
Guest22289Got the list of drivers09:35
AkuliThere should also be a screenshot tool09:36
Guest22289I uploaded the screenshot09:39
Guest22289here is the link09:39
Guest22289http://pasteboard.co/27cxolov.png09:39
AkuliFor your nvidia card i recommend using the one you have now, or the first one if it doesn't work09:39
Akuliif you want to use your other device (i have no idea what it is), just change its driver to the first one also09:40
Guest22289Okay09:40

AkuliHi ubuntu-mate09:41
ubuntu-matei'm testing ubuntu mate 16.10 on acer aspire switch 1109:42
ubuntu-matewifi doesn't works09:42
ubuntu-mateall other works well09:42
Akuliubuntu-mate, open software and updates from the menu, go to drivers tab, enable the driver09:42
ubuntu-matethere are no driver for rtl8723bs09:43
AkuliIn that case you can search for one on google09:44
Akuliif it doesn't work you can buy a usb wifi adapter09:44

DaylightDandyHello all ! Is there a recommended way to fix the wired network/NetworkManager bug on Ubuntu MATE 16.04 that prevents the local connection from working properly ? I have tried diabling IPv6 in sysctl.conf and NetworkManager, setting a static IP etc to no avail. Thanks for your help.10:03
AkuliDaylightDandy, sure. use 14.04 and your network manager won't have any bugs :)10:05
DaylightDandyAkuli, haha, yeah well OK10:05
DaylightDandy:)10:05
DaylightDandyThing is I remember fixing it on a previous 16.04 install and I can't fix it again10:06
Akulii wonder if you could install an alternative network manager on ubuntu10:06
Akuliseems like you can10:07
Akulisudo apt-get install wicd10:07
DaylightDandyI'll try that. I'm contemplating using my smartphone to tether an Internet connection to my PC to be able to update.10:08
Akuliyou don't need to update anything if you don't use an internet connection10:08
DaylightDandyOh, yeah, I meant as a workaround/fix unrelated to your suggestion :)10:09
DaylightDandySorry10:09
Akulino problem10:10
DaylightDandyIs that bug really that prevalent on 16.04 ? I heard of it before upgrading but it happened on three different installs so far.10:11
Akuliall with different network cards, and just a wired connection?10:12
Akulithats weird10:12
Akulii recommend staying in 14.04 until 2019, which is when support for it will be dropped10:12
Akuliso far i've seen many bugs and other problems in 16.04, and i'm not going to upgrade :)10:13
DaylightDandyYeah, all different PCs. Same chipset on two of them though. And same ISP modem/router which I suspect to be one of the cause of the problem. IPv6 and all.10:14
DaylightDandyYeah, I waited a bit before upgrading. Install/setup is a pain but it runs well after updating.10:15
Akuliand 14.04 just worked out of the box with no problems?10:15
DaylightDandyYeah10:15
DaylightDandyNever had that issue once on 14.0410:15
DaylightDandySame hardware/environment10:15
Akulimaybe we could check the network manager version somehow10:16
DaylightDandyI thought about upgrading it manually via a deb package, but it feels clunky and like we're back in 1998 fixing network connections and all :D10:17
Akulii'd probably try wicd10:17
Akulii've never used it on ubuntu, but it should work just fine10:17
DaylightDandyYeah, that was a good idea, I'll try that.10:18
DaylightDandyI tried messing with /etc/network/interfaces etc10:18
Akulii think that just sets things up on startup10:19
Akuliby default it contains nothing but comments and these two lines http://dpaste.com/3YBF8C6 and you probably don't need anything else10:19
DaylightDandyThat's right, but someone suggested somewhere to add eno1 (previously eth0) to it with dhcp option to set it up without NetworkManager10:21
DaylightDandyBut that was a mess10:21
DaylightDandyI'm pretty sure that it's something related to IPv6 but I don't know what.10:21
mgrayHi there.10:39
TheSilentLinkhi10:53
TheSilentLinkAnyone one know if the panels going white and the delay normal? Here is a video showing it: https://youtu.be/X6SIgu92bDo10:58
Akuliyes it is, but your delay is longer than it should be11:01
TheSilentLinkAkuli: o ok is there anyway to fix that?11:04
Akulii don't know11:05
TheSilentLinkAkuli: also is a difference between the windows managers?11:07
Akulii'm not actually sure whats happening in the panel whitening thing, i guess the theme switches back to a default light one for some reason11:07
TheSilentLinkAkuli: yea seems a bit weird lol11:14
ericb2wow I just figured out I can see youtube video with the Pi3+ + Firefox ...12:13
ericb2anybody knows how to calibrate the temperature sensor shipped with the pi3+ (B review) ?12:17
ericb2the one we can read the content in /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp12:18
ericb2I firstly supposed it was something like temperature in °F , but maybe not12:19
ericb2other question : does someone have a link pointing the cooler / radiator we can use with this board ? TIA12:19
ericb2Got one : https://www.element14.com/community/community/raspberry-pi/raspberrypi_projects/blog/2016/03/03/raspberry-pi-3-cooling-heat-sink-ideas12:21

Guest26615Hello13:54
fifty-sevenCGood morning17:07
NeonumbreonHellooo.18:02
NeonumbreonMay I ask a noobish question18:02
=== Neonumbreon is now known as eonumbreon
eonumbreonWhat is the underlying difference between the Mint MATE and Ubuntu MATE projects, except the fact one is Ubuntu and the other is Mint retrospectively?18:04
fifty-sevenCUbuntu Mate is just ubuntu.18:05
eonumbreonSo there is no other difference in usability?18:05
fifty-sevenCLMDE is mint which is frankendebian18:05
fifty-sevenCI'm not sure. They are both Mate.18:06
fifty-sevenCBut Mate originally was a fork from Mint I believe18:06
fifty-sevenCI might be wrong on the history however18:06
eonumbreonfifty-sevenC awesome. Thank you. Trying to decide whether to use Mint or Ubuntu MATE18:07
fifty-sevenCI would just use Ubuntu Mate. Or Debian with Mate as your DE, or Fedora with Mint as your DE.18:08
fifty-sevenCJust avoid Mint. It has a sketchy history regarding updates and security18:08
eonumbreonokay. I would use fedora, I prefer dnf to apt, but... the lack of easily installable propietary Nvidia drivers scares me.18:12
eonumbreonMight be cause I am used to using a laptop with an optimus nvidia gtx630m gpu18:13
fifty-sevenCHybrid graphics?18:13
eonumbreonYep18:13
fifty-sevenCThat will be a sticky point18:13
eonumbreonThe target machine currently should be fine though.18:13
fifty-sevenCHybrid graphics in linux sucks.18:13
fifty-sevenCOk18:13
fifty-sevenCGlad I could help18:14
eonumbreonThis machine I want to use is a C2Q QC7300 with an Nvidia 9300GS. And thanks a lot! I appreciate it :')18:14
renoifany can help me?18:47
renoifmy sound cant be detected18:48
fifty-sevenCWonder if there is a way to modify hexchat so people who leave the room are dimmed.18:59
fifty-sevenCSo like I don't have to search a bunch of yellow on white background to see if I should respond19:00
Akulififty-sevenC, just start typing someone's name and hit tab19:02
Akuliit won't autocomplete if there's nobody with a nick like that19:02

heathdoes an one know how to change the text color in terminal20:52
Akuliyes20:54
heathhey there20:54
Akuliwhich color do you want to make it, or do you just want to make the prompt that ends with $ green20:55
heathi would like the text to be green20:55
=== ubuntu is now known as Guest8943
Akuliheath, open your .bashrc in a text editor and remove the # from the beginning of the line that says force_color_prompt=yes20:55
Akulithere's more code for setting the colors about 30 lines below it, feel free to customize that too20:56
heathis that for the terminal in Ubuntu-mate?20:57
Akuliyes, and all other ways to run bash20:57
Akulior do like i do, add this to the end of your .bashrc http://dpaste.com/3007YEA20:57
heathwhere is the .bashrt. I very new to linux20:58
Akuliits a file20:58
heath.bashrc*20:58
Akuliright20:58
heathok20:58
Akuliit runs every time you open up the terminal20:58
Akuliso if you add `echo hello` there the terminal will say hello every time you open it20:58
AkuliIf you're new to these things you probably want to edit it the GUI way :) run this: pluma .bashrc20:59
Akulia text editing window will pop up, you can use it20:59
heathwould like to learn the terminal20:59
Akulithen you can use an editor that runs entirely on the terminal, ubuntu comes with nano21:00
Akulinano .bashrc21:00
heathver good got it21:00
Akuliif you do it the nano way you can simply save and exit with Ctrl+X21:01
Akulinano is really easy to use21:01
heathonce I do that exit?21:02
AkuliCtrl+X should save and exit out of nano21:02
Akulito see the changes you can reopen the terminal21:03
heathyeah my name and location is green but the text I type isn't green21:04
Akuliyou want that green also?21:07
heathyeah or any other color21:07
Akulisomething like PS1="\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h \w $ "21:08
Akuliadd that to the end of the file21:08
Akulithere's other colors you can try instead of 32 also21:09
Akuli32 is green, 31 is red21:09
heathyeah I found that is in the if statment where "color_prompt"= yes21:09
Akulioh that thing21:09
Akuliif you want to make the whole thing green just add to the end instead21:09
Akulior21:10
Akuliright-clich terminal, profiles, profile settings21:10
