| Guest89449 | Good evening, looking for a tool like 'NeatMouse' for Ubuntu Linux. (btw. it's a great OS, thank you!) | 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| ouroumov_ | hi Guest89449 | 00:07 |
| Guest89449 | because my left mouse button is dying and i just need a tool which can map keyboard-keys to mouse buttons. Thanks. | 00:08 |
| Guest89449 | btw. Hi | 00:08 |
| ouroumov_ | Hm, that's an unusual goal | 00:08 |
| ouroumov_ | Not sure if such a thing exists | 00:08 |
| Guest89449 | i once managed to have such a thing in Lucid but cant remember where i found it :( | 00:09 |
| Guest89449 | it mapped just the keypad-5 to the left button | 00:09 |
| ouroumov_ | Guest89449, see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MouseCustomizations | 00:09 |
| Guest89449 | thanks | 00:09 |
| Guest89449 | if i change the xorg.conf accordingly does the mouse-movement still work? | 00:12 |
| Guest89449 | and would i have 3 buttons then | 00:12 |
| Guest89449 | because i only need the buttons replaced (the movement is still okay) | 00:13 |
| ouroumov_ | I don't know, I've never tried | 00:14 |
| Guest89449 | hm.. i would very much prefer not to change any sys-config files and instead let a GUI-utility take care of this | 00:18 |
| Guest89449 | because i dont want to mess up my working Ubuntu system | 00:19 |
| Guest89449 | and i'm no linux-geek either | 00:19 |
| Guest89449 | <- coming from windows 7 | 00:20 |
| Guest89449 | (..and coming back to Ubuntu after a windows-phase) | 00:21 |
| ouroumov_ | Guest89449, maybe you can ask on our forums, better visibility. | 00:25 |
| AceRadCat | Anyone else have the problem of the Pi freezing up when trying to do the first 1st update on Mate? | 00:35 |
| ouroumov_ | AceRadCat, maybe you'll have better luck asking on our forums. | 00:45 |
| Guest89449 | i just discovered the key-combination shift-num, yay! but this seems to only give me an alternate key for the 1st mouse button, i havent discovered keys for the other ones.. | 01:00 |
| Guest89449 | if one wants to move a gadget inside the border-bars one needs the 3rd mouse button iirc | 01:02 |
| Guest89449 | i remember that there was a possibility to simulate a 3rd-click by clicking the 2 primary buttons concurrently | 01:03 |
| Guest89449 | ..if the mouse only had 2 buttons | 01:04 |
| Guest89449 | wow i just made another discovery: i can switch the button-mode via /*- on the NumPad | 01:07 |
| Guest89449 | yeah, even the middle mouse-button is now usable for me! (i have only a 2-button mouse) | 01:09 |
| Guest89449 | (the 3-button laser-mouse is out-of-order) | 01:09 |
| steven_ | Hi, just installed Ubuntu Mate. Everything seems to work, but I caja is lagging majorly. | 05:57 |
| steven_ | Is it possible to install an alternative and transfer all responsibilities away from caja? | 05:58 |
| alkisg | steven_: caja normally doesn't lag, do you have any weird folders that would make it lag? | 06:06 |
| alkisg | Like, remote samba folders, or usb sticks with issues, or badly formatted ntfs volumes, or folders with large media files... | 06:07 |
| steven_ | No, don't think so. | 06:09 |
| steven_ | hm it seems to work fine if I wait a few minutes after booting up | 06:23 |
| alkisg | After booting up, run `top` and check which process eats up your cpu | 06:28 |

| locuaz | hi there, know somebody if there is a program for ubuntu mate to fix and recover a hard drive? thanks beforehand;) | 11:04 |
| ouroumov_ | locuaz, same as Ubuntu. fsck, photorec, etc | 11:10 |
| ouroumov_ | locuaz, no backup? | 11:10 |
| locuaz | is an external hard drive , no backup | 11:10 |
| locuaz | ill check those , thanks;) | 11:11 |
| ouroumov_ | locuaz, you're in for some pain | 11:11 |
| ouroumov_ | locuaz, recovery software doesn't recover things like file names, just FYI. | 11:12 |
| ouroumov_ | Also, you better have multiple partitions on that external drive, because if you've got une single 2TB partition it's gonna take a week. | 11:12 |
| locuaz | karpersky maybe does? | 11:12 |
| ouroumov_ | what? | 11:13 |
| locuaz | u know this antivirus karpersky, is got a tool .. well anyway ill try everything before i loose the hard drive | 11:14 |
| ouroumov_ | My advice is: unless you've got data on there you absolutely can't live without, accept the loss, remember the lesson, and move on. | 11:15 |
| locuaz | yes it will take long thats for sure | 11:15 |
| locuaz | yea you right, thanks;) | 11:16 |
| ouroumov_ | At the end of the recovery you'll get one directory with every single file recovered inside, with randomly assigned names. | 11:16 |
| ouroumov_ | Then you'll have to open each one to see what's in it. | 11:16 |
| ouroumov_ | It's a massive PITA. | 11:16 |
| locuaz | uffff | 11:16 |
| locuaz | ok here i go with the story: | 11:17 |
| locuaz | my harddrive is got 2 partitions | 11:18 |
| locuaz | both nfts | 11:18 |
| locuaz | and i try to install linux in 1 but no instead linux wrap the whole hard drive | 11:18 |
| locuaz | and somehow the files are still there cause i saw them with a cheap Partition manager recover tool | 11:19 |
| locuaz | wich took me 2 days to run | 11:20 |
| locuaz | thet was it.. | 11:20 |
| SuperEngineer | locuaz: then why not copy any wanted files to another [internal?] drive first? | 11:20 |
| locuaz | the f... cheap tool doesnt allow me to do that when is over a tb | 11:21 |
| locuaz | thats why im looking for programs open source | 11:22 |
| SuperEngineer | gparted, partmanager, clonezilla even | 11:23 |
| locuaz | i will check those. thanks again;) | 11:24 |
| SuperEngineer | ;-) | 11:24 |
| CptLoveNipple | Anyone able to explain how to change the skin on the my-weather-indicator widget? | 15:16 |
| Lantizia | am I right in thinking if you *don't* pick 'Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware, Flash, MP3 and other media' that we should find multiverse and restricted are not enabled? | 16:13 |
| === ed is now known as Guest56967 | ||
| sixwheeledbeast | Lantizia: I believe restricted extras is what you want for flash mp3 etc | 16:55 |

| nomic | linux-masochist the browser isn't recommended in 1gb | 17:29 |
| nomic | i use laptop for browsing, mate on pi, for everything else | 17:29 |
| linux-masochist | nomic - Thanks - Alas my current devices are only an android phone and a pi | 17:30 |
| linux-masochist | just trying to get a browser that will playback html5 vids for a course that i am doing | 17:31 |
| nomic | well | 17:31 |
| nomic | i use youtube-dl | 17:31 |
| nomic | to play thru omxplayer , mate on the pi | 17:31 |
| nomic | youtube-dl youtube url | 17:31 |
| nomic | omxplayer to play everything | 17:32 |
| linux-masochist | yes - i think that's the best bet for me - they are only small vids | 17:32 |
| linux-masochist | thanks again | 17:32 |
| nomic | i've got youtube live thru livestreamer > omxplayer tho | 17:32 |
| nomic | is actually better than browser | 17:32 |

| Langley | Help, there's something wrong with galculator. Inputting 9-3+0.01*200+0.0005*4000 in formulaic entry gives 6, but it should be 10!!! | 17:45 |
| Darkhero | Langley: it gave me 10, did you enter it right? | 18:24 |
| Langley | Guess not, even though I checked it many times | 18:26 |
| Matecrayo | Hey im trying to figure out if a software works on mate 16.04 | 18:30 |
| Matecrayo | but im confused by the platform list | 18:30 |
| Matecrayo | http://support.sas.com/supportos/list?requestAction=summary&outputView=sasrelease&sasrelease=&platformGroup=UNIX&platformName=Linux+64-bit | 18:30 |
| Matecrayo | which one is MATE? | 18:31 |
| Langley | Matecrayo, none | 18:32 |
| wndi | those are linux distros, not desktop environments of choice | 18:32 |
| Matecrayo | so i should be lookingfor ubuntu? | 18:32 |
| wndi | yes | 18:32 |
| wndi | (16.04 is a ubuntu version and mate is only one desktop environment and they don't usually limit what software you can run or not) | 18:33 |
| wndi | that sounds like some proprietary corporation product and they probably test and package it only for those listed distros, closed source | 18:34 |
| wndi | so you will have probably painful time if you don't choose something they support officially :) | 18:34 |
| CptLoveNipple | Where are the pre-loaded wallpapers stored? | 18:39 |
| Matecrayo | usr/share/backgrounds i thinnk | 18:45 |
| Langley | Help, I have set the program redshift to start automatically, but it doesn't work. It starts but it doesn't have any effect (tinting the screen) | 22:02 |
| Langley | If I kill it and start it manually it works fine | 22:02 |
| ouroumov_ | Langley, you know the command line executed when you start it manually? | 22:06 |
| Langley | Yeah it's just redshift | 22:06 |
| Langley | No arguments or anything | 22:06 |
| ouroumov_ | have you tried autostart with the full path as returned by `which redshift` ? | 22:08 |
| Langley | Nope, I'll try that | 22:09 |
| Langley | Another thing, is there any program that can solve simple equations | 22:18 |
