| danny_ | Hi, Ive just installed Ubuntu mate on my laptop and the wi-fi dont seems to appear in the section: '' aditional drivers'' what should I do to make it work? | 00:44 |
|---|---|---|
| featherstone | danny_: what chipset is the wifi card? | 00:47 |
| danny_ | Humm... how I know that... do you have a line of command to know it? | 00:48 |
| danny_ | Sorry for the poor quality of my english... Im a French Canadian | 00:50 |
| featherstone | danny_: lspci | grep -i wireless | 00:51 |
| featherstone | lol...that's quite alright danny_ | 00:51 |
| featherstone | you will have to add sudo if you are not root | 00:51 |
| danny_ | Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) | 00:52 |
| danny_ | that is my answer | 00:53 |
| featherstone | danny_: does the interface show up with an ifconfig? | 00:55 |
| danny_ | a what? LOL | 00:56 |
| featherstone | unfortunately Broadcom wireless drivers are not well supported under Linux | 00:56 |
| featherstone | danny_: ifconfig will display network interface information | 00:56 |
| danny_ | ifconfig | 00:57 |
| danny_ | ok Ill check it | 00:57 |

| featherstone | looks like it did install drivers for your card...the wlp7s0b1 is your wireless card if just isn't configured with your wireless network | 01:00 |
| danny_ | damn... I dont understand... With Xubuntu everything worked flawlessely | 01:01 |
| danny_ | ... Im a little bit disapointed :P | 01:01 |
| featherstone | danny_: did your wireless work upon install? what version of Xubuntu was it...16.04? | 01:01 |
| danny_ | nop it was... 15. someting | 01:01 |
| danny_ | :P | 01:01 |
| featherstone | that might have something to do with it...for some reason Cannonical shipped a LTS version that has wireless issues with it | 01:02 |
| featherstone | supposedly 16.04.1 was supposed to fix it but reports are that it didn't | 01:03 |
| danny_ | ok... so it is with all the 16.04 distro of Ubuntu? | 01:03 |
| featherstone | I believe so...some of the flavors might have work arounds for it but I believe it is a problem across the board | 01:03 |
| featherstone | try just restarting your network stack and see if you can then select a wireless network | 01:04 |
| featherstone | sudo service networking restart | 01:04 |
| danny_ | ok | 01:04 |
| featherstone | danny_: are you fairly new to Linux? | 01:05 |
| danny_ | Im not new... but Im not very good in command lines. | 01:06 |
| danny_ | I use linux mind with cinammon on my PC | 01:06 |
| danny_ | and used to use Xubuntu on that laptop | 01:06 |
| danny_ | I used a little bit of majaro on it but I did not liked it | 01:07 |
| featherstone | fair enough...it does take some getting used to...I wasn't very comfortable with it at first either...now I try to do most things with it...I have a lot to learn though | 01:07 |
| featherstone | what didn't you like about Manjaro? | 01:07 |
| danny_ | I had some issues with firefox | 01:07 |
| danny_ | the text did not always appeared | 01:08 |
| danny_ | Of all the desktop Ive tried... XFCE was my favorite | 01:09 |
| featherstone | huh that's weird...Antergos and Apricity also make some really nice Arch distros...not to detract from Ubuntu-Mate...I am running it right now on my old Samsung netbook | 01:09 |
| featherstone | it is nice and lightweight | 01:09 |
| danny_ | With a XFCE? or MATE environnement? | 01:09 |
| featherstone | I was saying that XFCE is nice and light...but really so is Mate | 01:11 |
| danny_ | Im tryong MATE because Ive saw a review on FPS in gaming... and MATE was the king... so I give it a chance | 01:12 |
| danny_ | My laptop is for testing | 01:12 |
| danny_ | the distros | 01:12 |
| featherstone | have you tried the Software Boutique in Ubuntu-Mate? | 01:12 |
| danny_ | not for now | 01:13 |
| danny_ | but it seems well made | 01:13 |
| featherstone | yeah Wimpy and the team have done an excellent job making installing common software easy | 01:18 |
| featherstone | any luck with the wireless after resetting the networking? | 01:18 |
| danny_ | Ill try it | 01:20 |
| danny_ | usually I see all the connection possible | 01:20 |
| danny_ | I look connected but the connection dont work | 01:20 |
| featherstone | ah...well that's actually good...it does sound like the wireless bug is getting you...a networking restart should fix it | 01:21 |
| latitude | is there a recommended IDE for C/C++ with Ubuntu Mate 16.04 | 01:45 |
| ouroumov | Probably the same as with Ubuntu | 01:50 |
| Joe_T | thanks for a great distro | 02:54 |
| blackwater | hey guys, I'm having some problems with compiz after upgrading to MATE 16.04.1 LTS | 03:28 |
| blackwater | constantly crashes, i rebooted and windows are missing their borders/controls, can't move with Alt F7. Switched back to marco for the time being, but I don't know if this is a mate 16.04 issue, or a 16.04 issue in general | 03:29 |
| bahamut127 | good evening... any gurus on? | 04:14 |
| bahamut127 | having some major issues with freezing when selecting 3rd party and/or updates on install. using 16.04.1 is this a known issue? | 04:16 |
| segmastar | Hello? | 08:18 |
| segmastar | Anyone Here? | 08:20 |
| YankDownUnder | Everyone's sleeping. Or the world has ended. | 08:29 |
| segmastar | Oh,sorry.It 16:30 here | 08:30 |
| YankDownUnder | It's 18:30 here...must be way too late (or way too early) | 08:30 |
| segmastar | Do you know thing about installing Ubuntu? | 08:31 |
| YankDownUnder | segmastar: Yes. What's the issue? | 08:31 |
| segmastar | I want to install Ubuntu on my external hard drive but it can't boot. | 08:32 |
| segmastar | It shows like: Can't find /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod grub rescue> | 08:33 |
| YankDownUnder | segmastar: "It can't boot" - which means what, exactly...? | 08:33 |
| segmastar | Just like that. Can't find boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod | 08:33 |
| segmastar | grub rescue> | 08:34 |
| YankDownUnder | So then you didn't install "grub" on the MBR of the primary hard disk in the machine? | 08:34 |
| segmastar | I do install | 08:34 |
| segmastar | And the file normal.mod is exactly there | 08:34 |
| segmastar | And I install ubuntu on main partition. | 08:35 |
| YankDownUnder | http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2016/03/how-to-install-ubuntu-1604-xenial-xerus.html | 08:36 |
| SuperEngineer | or put a live dvd in machine & do a grub-instal? | 08:36 |
| segmastar | But I have installed grub on my hard drive | 08:37 |
| SuperEngineer | but it ain't working, is it?1 | 08:37 |
| SuperEngineer | ?! | 08:37 |
| YankDownUnder | segmastar: If you read completely through the link I just posted, you might be able to resolve the issue... | 08:37 |
| segmastar | yep | 08:37 |
| segmastar | YankDownUnder:Can't access that url. | 08:38 |
| YankDownUnder | As per what SuperEngineer had stated, give that a go. You can't access the URL? | 08:38 |
| SuperEngineer | [also, is a windows dual boot machine?] | 08:38 |
| segmastar | yeah.Due to the Firewall Great Wall | 08:39 |
| YankDownUnder | Oh, lovely. | 08:39 |
| segmastar | SuperEngineer:No. It's on my external hard drive. | 08:39 |
| YankDownUnder | Follow what SuperEngineer just stated...use the bootable DVD and do "grub-install" and read the options. | 08:40 |
| SuperEngineer | ah!!! are you sure of where you installed grub to is where it's looking on power up? | 08:40 |
| segmastar | Yes.There is only one partition on my hard drive. | 08:41 |
| SuperEngineer | your internal or external hard drive? | 08:41 |
| segmastar | No,Another is swap partition | 08:41 |
| segmastar | external | 08:41 |
| SuperEngineer | hmmmm... | 08:41 |
| SuperEngineer | with external drive connected & powered, use live disk or usb | 08:42 |
| segmastar | Hard to deal with.I've tried 3 times.Failed | 08:42 |
| segmastar | What? | 08:42 |
| SuperEngineer | run ubuntu as a live system from your install disk or install usb. | 08:43 |
| SuperEngineer | check you can see your ubuntu instal once live disk is fully running | 08:44 |
| SuperEngineer | then instal grub from live disk/usb | 08:44 |
| SuperEngineer | .... | 08:45 |
| segmastar | sudo grub-install /etc/sdc like that? | 08:45 |
| SuperEngineer | yup | 08:45 |
| SuperEngineer | hang on! /dev/sdc - surely? | 08:47 |
| SuperEngineer | [and from the live system the sudo may not be needed] | 08:48 |
| segmastar | Okay. Finished Installing. Of course it should be dev:) | 08:49 |
| SuperEngineer | :-) | 08:49 |
| SuperEngineer | next... is that external drive set as a bootable disk? [bios, uefi] | 08:50 |
| segmastar | No.It doesn't work | 08:54 |
| segmastar | Now the screen showed before disappear. | 08:55 |
| segmastar | Just boot from my internal hard drive. | 08:55 |
| segmastar | No useful message shows. | 08:55 |
| SuperEngineer | The next option is *very* risky without knowing what's on your internal drive... install gub to /dev/sda??? | 08:56 |
| SuperEngineer | seek other advice before considering | 08:56 |
| segmastar | to /dev/sdc/!\ | 08:56 |
| segmastar | not sda | 08:56 |
| SuperEngineer | The next option is *very* risky without knowing what's on your internal drive... install gub to /dev/sda??? | 08:56 |
| SuperEngineer | seek other advice before considering | 08:56 |
| segmastar | Again not sda. It's sdc.and nothing happened. | 08:57 |
| YankDownUnder | http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2016/03/how-to-install-ubuntu-1604-xenial-xerus.html | 08:57 |
| SuperEngineer | again - that's why I am suggesting SDA!!!! do you have an SDA? | 08:57 |
| SuperEngineer | thanks YankDownUnder | 08:58 |
| segmastar | Of course.Or how can I use this xchat? | 08:58 |
| SuperEngineer | the live disk! | 08:58 |
| SuperEngineer | ask on #ubuntu ? | 08:58 |
| SuperEngineer | ask on #ubuntu-uk ? | 08:59 |
| segmastar | Okay.I'll have a try | 08:59 |
| SuperEngineer | or use YankDownUnder's link??? | 08:59 |
| SuperEngineer | [and he/she still doesn't want us know what's on sda?!!!] hmmmmm | 09:01 |
| SuperEngineer | oh well ;-) | 09:01 |
| YankDownUnder | either in China or North Korea. | 09:01 |
| segmastar | I'm in China :) | 09:01 |
| SuperEngineer | agreed - may not be "conveniant" | 09:02 |
| YankDownUnder | Many Chinese here in Australia. | 09:02 |
| YankDownUnder | !ubuntu-cn | 09:04 |
| YankDownUnder | Argh...meanwhile, there is an #ubuntu-cn => Chinese channel for Ubuntu (and all flavours) | 09:05 |
| SuperEngineer | :) | 09:05 |
| SuperEngineer | I bet the most often asked question there is, "how do I set up a VPN" ;-) | 09:07 |
| YankDownUnder | Yes - spot on there - most of the tech-heads I know here (the Chinese folks) "assist" in that matter...ahem... | 09:07 |
| SuperEngineer | praise & well done to them | 09:08 |

| lain__ | Hey, Is there anything I should know before i start using mate, i've been using debian for a few years now so I know a little bit. | 16:30 |
| rampdog | anyone having issues installing VBox guest additions? | 17:42 |
| Gallomimia2 | how odd. i started an install from inside a live session, got thru all the setup options, and the window just closed. | 17:42 |
| Gallomimia2 | the desktop has the spinning wait cursor when i mouse over, and other than that, the system is running fine. but there's no install happening. | 17:43 |
| Gallomimia2 | anyone else seen this? | 17:43 |
| ouroumov | Gallomimia2, not that I'm aware of | 17:48 |
| ouroumov | Gallomimia2, did you check the .iso's integrity using the provided checksums? | 17:49 |
| Gallomimia2 | don't think i did. but i have used this particular LiveUSB to install on another system successfully | 17:49 |
| ouroumov | Gallomimia2, maybe go for the Install route at boot time? | 17:50 |
| ouroumov | Instead of going through the live session, I mean | 17:50 |
| Gallomimia2 | could be... i'm fussing with crypto and LVM tho | 17:50 |
| Gallomimia2 | i always get problems using those | 17:50 |
| Gallomimia2 | hm. there does seem to be a lot of stuff in /target | 17:50 |
| Gallomimia2 | very interesting. | 17:51 |
| gallomimia2 | ouroumov: negative. cant mount crypto and lvm without a terminal | 18:01 |
| === sergio_ is now known as Guest24659 | ||
| === cristiano is now known as Guest69941 | ||
| mertcan_ | how can ı use this | 21:35 |
| ouroumov | You seem to be using it | 21:36 |
| ouroumov | He seems to have stopped using it | 21:37 |
| ali1234 | yeah i got a silly pm | 21:46 |
| ali1234 | why do i only get silly pms from this channel? | 21:46 |
| ouroumov | Because here you're on top of the nick list | 21:46 |
| ouroumov | Just change nick to "zali1234" and nobody will bother you anymore | 21:47 |
| Gallomimia | hey. for some reason my mate panel menu won't open. it clicks and changes color, but the menu never appears. i can't launch any programs! | 22:51 |
| Gallomimia | you know... aside from the ones i have as buttons | 22:51 |
| ouroumov | The standard menu? | 22:51 |
| Gallomimia | yeah | 22:52 |
| ouroumov | Weird | 22:52 |
| Gallomimia | just allava sudden stopped functioning | 22:52 |
| Gallomimia | tried rebooting to fix too. no joy | 22:52 |
| ouroumov | It was working before? | 22:52 |
| Gallomimia | yeah | 22:52 |
| ouroumov | What did you do? | 22:52 |
| Gallomimia | might have something to do with putting my 2nd monitor back on the system | 22:52 |
| ouroumov | Did you try removing the menu from the panel then adding it back? | 22:53 |
| Gallomimia | uh, i just tried adding a 2nd one. still won't work | 22:53 |
| Gallomimia | the "other" type of main menu seems to still work | 22:54 |
| Gallomimia | oh well. good enough for now... | 22:59 |
| mate|67362 | o7 | 23:38 |
| mate|67362 | Does AMDGPU Pro work with Ubuntu Mate? | 23:39 |
| ouroumov | mate|67362, does it work with Ubuntu? | 23:47 |
| mate|67362 | Far as I know yes | 23:50 |
| mate|67362 | I currently have elementary OS Loki which is based on Ubuntu 16.04 but I get "unsupported os" when attempting to install so as a new linux user and pure amd guy looking to possibly move on | 23:51 |
| ouroumov | If it works in Ubuntu 16.04 it will work in Ubuntu MATE 16.04 | 23:53 |
| ouroumov | But if Loki is based on 16.04 and it's not working, well I'm not too optimistic | 23:53 |
| mate|67362 | Yea . . I think from what I read the kernel has to be rebuilt to enable some cik setting or something. | 23:54 |
