[00:44] <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?
[00:47] <featherstone> danny_: what chipset is the wifi card?
[00:48] <danny_> Humm... how I know that... do you have a line of command to know it?
[00:50] <danny_> Sorry for the poor quality of my english... Im a French Canadian
[00:51] <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
[00:52] <danny_> Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[00:53] <danny_> that is my answer
[00:55] <featherstone> danny_: does the interface show up with an ifconfig?
[00:56] <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
[00:57] <danny_> ifconfig
[00:57] <danny_> ok Ill check it

[01:00] <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
[01:01] <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
[01:02] <featherstone> that might have something to do with it...for some reason Cannonical shipped a LTS version that has wireless issues with it
[01:03] <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
[01:04] <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
[01:05] <featherstone> danny_: are you fairly new to Linux?
[01:06] <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
[01:07] <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
[01:08] <danny_> the text did not always appeared
[01:09] <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?
[01:11] <featherstone> I was saying that XFCE is nice and light...but really so is Mate
[01:12] <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?
[01:13] <danny_> not for now
[01:13] <danny_> but it seems well made
[01:18] <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?
[01:20] <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
[01:21] <featherstone> ah...well that's actually good...it does sound like the wireless bug is getting you...a networking restart should fix it
[01:45] <latitude> is there a recommended IDE for C/C++ with Ubuntu Mate 16.04
[01:50] <ouroumov> Probably the same as with Ubuntu
[02:54] <Joe_T> thanks for a great distro
[03:28] <blackwater> hey guys, I'm having some problems with compiz after upgrading to MATE 16.04.1 LTS
[03:29] <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
[04:14] <bahamut127> good evening... any gurus on?
[04:16] <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?
[08:18] <segmastar> Hello?
[08:20] <segmastar> Anyone Here?
[08:29] <YankDownUnder> Everyone's sleeping. Or the world has ended.
[08:30] <segmastar> Oh,sorry.It 16:30 here
[08:30] <YankDownUnder> It's 18:30 here...must be way too late (or way too early)
[08:31] <segmastar> Do you know thing about installing Ubuntu?
[08:31] <YankDownUnder> segmastar: Yes. What's the issue?
[08:32] <segmastar> I want to install Ubuntu on my external hard drive but it can't boot.
[08:33] <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
[08:34] <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
[08:35] <segmastar> And I install ubuntu on main partition.
[08:36] <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?
[08:37] <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
[08:38] <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?]
[08:39] <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.
[08:40] <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?
[08:41] <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...
[08:42] <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?
[08:43] <SuperEngineer> run ubuntu as a live system from your install disk or install usb.
[08:44] <SuperEngineer> check you can see your ubuntu instal once live disk is fully running
[08:44] <SuperEngineer> then instal grub from live disk/usb
[08:45] <SuperEngineer> ....
[08:45] <segmastar> sudo grub-install /etc/sdc like that?
[08:45] <SuperEngineer> yup
[08:47] <SuperEngineer> hang on!   /dev/sdc  - surely?
[08:48] <SuperEngineer> [and from the live system the sudo may not be needed]
[08:49] <segmastar> Okay. Finished Installing. Of course it should be dev:)
[08:49] <SuperEngineer> :-)
[08:50] <SuperEngineer> next... is that external drive set as a bootable disk?  [bios, uefi]
[08:54] <segmastar> No.It doesn't work
[08:55] <segmastar> Now the screen showed before disappear.
[08:55] <segmastar> Just boot from my internal hard drive.
[08:55] <segmastar> No useful message shows.
[08:56] <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> 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
[08:57] <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?
[08:58] <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 ?
[08:59] <SuperEngineer> ask on #ubuntu-uk ?
[08:59] <segmastar> Okay.I'll have a try
[08:59] <SuperEngineer> or use YankDownUnder's link???
[09:01] <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 :)
[09:02] <SuperEngineer> agreed - may not be "conveniant"
[09:02] <YankDownUnder> Many Chinese here in Australia.
[09:04] <YankDownUnder> !ubuntu-cn
[09:05] <YankDownUnder> Argh...meanwhile, there is an #ubuntu-cn => Chinese channel for Ubuntu (and all flavours)
[09:05] <SuperEngineer> :)
[09:07] <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...
[09:08] <SuperEngineer> praise & well done to them
[16:30] <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.
[17:42] <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.
[17:43] <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?
[17:48] <ouroumov> Gallomimia2, not that I'm aware of
[17:49] <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
[17:50] <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
[17:51] <Gallomimia2> very interesting.
[18:01] <gallomimia2> ouroumov: negative. cant mount crypto and lvm without a terminal
[21:35] <mertcan_> how can ı use this
[21:36] <ouroumov> You seem to be using it
[21:37] <ouroumov> He seems to have stopped using it
[21:46] <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
[21:47] <ouroumov> Just change nick to "zali1234" and nobody will bother you anymore
[22:51] <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?
[22:52] <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
[22:53] <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
[22:54] <Gallomimia> the "other" type of main menu seems to still work
[22:59] <Gallomimia> oh well. good enough for now...
[23:38] <mate|67362> o7
[23:39] <mate|67362> Does AMDGPU Pro work with Ubuntu Mate?
[23:47] <ouroumov> mate|67362, does it work with Ubuntu?
[23:50] <mate|67362> Far as I know yes
[23:51] <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
[23:53] <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
[23:54] <mate|67362> Yea . .  I think from what I read the kernel has to be rebuilt to enable some cik setting or something.
