[00:44] 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] danny_: what chipset is the wifi card? [00:48] Humm... how I know that... do you have a line of command to know it? [00:50] Sorry for the poor quality of my english... Im a French Canadian [00:51] danny_: lspci | grep -i wireless [00:51] lol...that's quite alright danny_ [00:51] you will have to add sudo if you are not root [00:52] Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) [00:53] that is my answer [00:55] danny_: does the interface show up with an ifconfig? [00:56] a what? LOL [00:56] unfortunately Broadcom wireless drivers are not well supported under Linux [00:56] danny_: ifconfig will display network interface information [00:57] ifconfig [00:57] ok Ill check it [00:58] eno1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 2c:76:8a:d1:4b:38 [00:58] inet addr:192.168.0.17 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [00:58] inet6 addr: fe80::6039:af7d:4838:9aa6/64 Scope:Link [00:58] inet6 addr: fe80::705:2ee2:e3bb:1960/64 Scope:Link [00:58] UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 [00:58] RX packets:986 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 [00:58] TX packets:799 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 [00:58] collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 [00:58] RX bytes:341433 (341.4 KB) TX bytes:67517 (67.5 KB) [00:58] lo Link encap:Local Loopback [00:58] inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 [00:58] inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host [00:58] UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 [00:58] RX packets:276 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 [00:58] TX packets:276 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 [00:58] collisions:0 txqueuelen:1 [00:58] RX bytes:22740 (22.7 KB) TX bytes:22740 (22.7 KB) [00:58] wlp7s0b1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 94:39:e5:4f:16:be [00:58] inet6 addr: fe80::90ac:c581:c2b8:80fa/64 Scope:Link [00:58] inet6 addr: fe80::3235:3793:4b1e:c9eb/64 Scope:Link [00:58] UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 [00:58] RX packets:129 errors:0 dropped:6 overruns:0 frame:0 [00:58] TX packets:59 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 [00:58] collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 [00:58] RX bytes:12214 (12.2 KB) TX bytes:11390 (11.3 KB) [01:00] 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] damn... I dont understand... With Xubuntu everything worked flawlessely [01:01] ... Im a little bit disapointed :P [01:01] danny_: did your wireless work upon install? what version of Xubuntu was it...16.04? [01:01] nop it was... 15. someting [01:01] :P [01:02] that might have something to do with it...for some reason Cannonical shipped a LTS version that has wireless issues with it [01:03] supposedly 16.04.1 was supposed to fix it but reports are that it didn't [01:03] ok... so it is with all the 16.04 distro of Ubuntu? [01:03] 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] try just restarting your network stack and see if you can then select a wireless network [01:04] sudo service networking restart [01:04] ok [01:05] danny_: are you fairly new to Linux? [01:06] Im not new... but Im not very good in command lines. [01:06] I use linux mind with cinammon on my PC [01:06] and used to use Xubuntu on that laptop [01:07] I used a little bit of majaro on it but I did not liked it [01:07] 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] what didn't you like about Manjaro? [01:07] I had some issues with firefox [01:08] the text did not always appeared [01:09] Of all the desktop Ive tried... XFCE was my favorite [01:09] 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] it is nice and lightweight [01:09] With a XFCE? or MATE environnement? [01:11] I was saying that XFCE is nice and light...but really so is Mate [01:12] 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] My laptop is for testing [01:12] the distros [01:12] have you tried the Software Boutique in Ubuntu-Mate? [01:13] not for now [01:13] but it seems well made [01:18] yeah Wimpy and the team have done an excellent job making installing common software easy [01:18] any luck with the wireless after resetting the networking? [01:20] Ill try it [01:20] usually I see all the connection possible [01:20] I look connected but the connection dont work [01:21] ah...well that's actually good...it does sound like the wireless bug is getting you...a networking restart should fix it [01:45] is there a recommended IDE for C/C++ with Ubuntu Mate 16.04 [01:50] Probably the same as with Ubuntu [02:54] thanks for a great distro [03:28] hey guys, I'm having some problems with compiz after upgrading to MATE 16.04.1 LTS [03:29] 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] good evening... any gurus on? [04:16] 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] Hello? [08:20] Anyone Here? [08:29] Everyone's sleeping. Or the world has ended. [08:30] Oh,sorry.It 16:30 here [08:30] It's 18:30 here...must be way too late (or way too early) [08:31] Do you know thing about installing Ubuntu? [08:31] segmastar: Yes. What's the issue? [08:32] I want to install Ubuntu on my external hard drive but it can't boot. [08:33] It shows like: Can't find /boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod grub rescue> [08:33] segmastar: "It can't boot" - which means what, exactly...? [08:33] Just like that. Can't find boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod [08:34] grub rescue> [08:34] So then you didn't install "grub" on the MBR of the primary hard disk in the machine? [08:34] I do install [08:34] And the file normal.mod is exactly there [08:35] And I install ubuntu on main partition. [08:36] http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2016/03/how-to-install-ubuntu-1604-xenial-xerus.html [08:36] or put a live dvd in machine & do a grub-instal? [08:37] But I have installed grub on my hard drive [08:37] but it ain't working, is it?1 [08:37] ?! [08:37] segmastar: If you read completely through the link I just posted, you might be able to resolve the issue... [08:37] yep [08:38] YankDownUnder:Can't access that url. [08:38] As per what SuperEngineer had stated, give that a go. You can't access the URL? [08:38] [also, is a windows dual boot machine?] [08:39] yeah.Due to the Firewall Great Wall [08:39] Oh, lovely. [08:39] SuperEngineer:No. It's on my external hard drive. [08:40] Follow what SuperEngineer just stated...use the bootable DVD and do "grub-install" and read the options. [08:40] ah!!! are you sure of where you installed grub to is where it's looking on power up? [08:41] Yes.There is only one partition on my hard drive. [08:41] your internal or external hard drive? [08:41] No,Another is swap partition [08:41] external [08:41] hmmmm... [08:42] with external drive connected & powered, use live disk or usb [08:42] Hard to deal with.I've tried 3 times.Failed [08:42] What? [08:43] run ubuntu as a live system from your install disk or install usb. [08:44] check you can see your ubuntu instal once live disk is fully running [08:44] then instal grub from live disk/usb [08:45] .... [08:45] sudo grub-install /etc/sdc like that? [08:45] yup [08:47] hang on! /dev/sdc - surely? [08:48] [and from the live system the sudo may not be needed] [08:49] Okay. Finished Installing. Of course it should be dev:) [08:49] :-) [08:50] next... is that external drive set as a bootable disk? [bios, uefi] [08:54] No.It doesn't work [08:55] Now the screen showed before disappear. [08:55] Just boot from my internal hard drive. [08:55] No useful message shows. [08:56] The next option is *very* risky without knowing what's on your internal drive... install gub to /dev/sda??? [08:56] seek other advice before considering [08:56] to /dev/sdc/!\ [08:56] not sda [08:56] The next option is *very* risky without knowing what's on your internal drive... install gub to /dev/sda??? [08:56] seek other advice before considering [08:57] Again not sda. It's sdc.and nothing happened. [08:57] http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2016/03/how-to-install-ubuntu-1604-xenial-xerus.html [08:57] again - that's why I am suggesting SDA!!!! do you have an SDA? [08:58] thanks YankDownUnder [08:58] Of course.Or how can I use this xchat? [08:58] the live disk! [08:58] ask on #ubuntu ? [08:59] ask on #ubuntu-uk ? [08:59] Okay.I'll have a try [08:59] or use YankDownUnder's link??? [09:01] [and he/she still doesn't want us know what's on sda?!!!] hmmmmm [09:01] oh well ;-) [09:01] either in China or North Korea. [09:01] I'm in China :) [09:02] agreed - may not be "conveniant" [09:02] Many Chinese here in Australia. [09:04] !ubuntu-cn [09:05] Argh...meanwhile, there is an #ubuntu-cn => Chinese channel for Ubuntu (and all flavours) [09:05] :) [09:07] I bet the most often asked question there is, "how do I set up a VPN" ;-) [09:07] Yes - spot on there - most of the tech-heads I know here (the Chinese folks) "assist" in that matter...ahem... [09:08] praise & well done to them === YankDownUnder is now known as YDU_sleeping [16:30] 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] anyone having issues installing VBox guest additions? [17:42] how odd. i started an install from inside a live session, got thru all the setup options, and the window just closed. [17:43] 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] anyone else seen this? [17:48] Gallomimia2, not that I'm aware of [17:49] Gallomimia2, did you check the .iso's integrity using the provided checksums? [17:49] don't think i did. but i have used this particular LiveUSB to install on another system successfully [17:50] Gallomimia2, maybe go for the Install route at boot time? [17:50] Instead of going through the live session, I mean [17:50] could be... i'm fussing with crypto and LVM tho [17:50] i always get problems using those [17:50] hm. there does seem to be a lot of stuff in /target [17:51] very interesting. [18:01] ouroumov: negative. cant mount crypto and lvm without a terminal === sergio_ is now known as Guest24659 === cristiano is now known as Guest69941 [21:35] how can ı use this [21:36] You seem to be using it [21:37] He seems to have stopped using it [21:46] yeah i got a silly pm [21:46] why do i only get silly pms from this channel? [21:46] Because here you're on top of the nick list [21:47] Just change nick to "zali1234" and nobody will bother you anymore [22:51] 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] you know... aside from the ones i have as buttons [22:51] The standard menu? [22:52] yeah [22:52] Weird [22:52] just allava sudden stopped functioning [22:52] tried rebooting to fix too. no joy [22:52] It was working before? [22:52] yeah [22:52] What did you do? [22:52] might have something to do with putting my 2nd monitor back on the system [22:53] Did you try removing the menu from the panel then adding it back? [22:53] uh, i just tried adding a 2nd one. still won't work [22:54] the "other" type of main menu seems to still work [22:59] oh well. good enough for now... [23:38] o7 [23:39] Does AMDGPU Pro work with Ubuntu Mate? [23:47] mate|67362, does it work with Ubuntu? [23:50] Far as I know yes [23:51] 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] If it works in Ubuntu 16.04 it will work in Ubuntu MATE 16.04 [23:53] But if Loki is based on 16.04 and it's not working, well I'm not too optimistic [23:54] Yea . . I think from what I read the kernel has to be rebuilt to enable some cik setting or something.
