[00:06] <Guest89449> Good evening, looking for a tool like 'NeatMouse' for Ubuntu Linux. (btw. it's a great OS, thank you!)
[00:07] <ouroumov_> hi Guest89449
[00:08] <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
[00:09] <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
[00:12] <Guest89449> if i change the xorg.conf accordingly does the mouse-movement still work?
[00:12] <Guest89449> and would i have 3 buttons then
[00:13] <Guest89449> because i only need the buttons replaced (the movement is still okay)
[00:14] <ouroumov_> I don't know, I've never tried
[00:18] <Guest89449> hm.. i would very much prefer not to change any sys-config files and instead let a GUI-utility take care of this
[00:19] <Guest89449> because i dont want to mess up my working Ubuntu system
[00:19] <Guest89449> and i'm no linux-geek either
[00:20] <Guest89449> <- coming from windows 7
[00:21] <Guest89449> (..and coming back to Ubuntu after a windows-phase)
[00:25] <ouroumov_> Guest89449, maybe you can ask on our forums, better visibility.
[00:35] <AceRadCat> Anyone else have the problem of the Pi freezing up when trying to do the first 1st update on Mate?
[00:45] <ouroumov_> AceRadCat, maybe you'll have better luck asking on our forums.
[01:00] <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..
[01:02] <Guest89449> if one wants to move a gadget inside the border-bars one needs the 3rd mouse button iirc
[01:03] <Guest89449> i remember that there was a possibility to simulate a 3rd-click by clicking the 2 primary buttons concurrently
[01:04] <Guest89449> ..if the mouse only had 2 buttons
[01:07] <Guest89449> wow i just made another discovery: i can switch the button-mode via /*- on the NumPad
[01:09] <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)
[05:57] <steven_> Hi, just installed Ubuntu Mate. Everything seems to work, but I caja is lagging majorly.
[05:58] <steven_> Is it possible to install an alternative and transfer all responsibilities away from caja?
[06:06] <alkisg> steven_: caja normally doesn't lag, do you have any weird folders that would make it lag?
[06:07] <alkisg> Like, remote samba folders, or usb sticks with issues, or badly formatted ntfs volumes, or folders with large media files...
[06:09] <steven_> No, don't think so.
[06:23] <steven_> hm it seems to work fine if  I wait a few minutes after booting up
[06:28] <alkisg> After booting up, run `top` and check which process eats up your cpu
[07:43] <mike_100> Hello
[08:03] <alkisg> Hello

[11:04] <locuaz> hi there, know somebody if there is a program for ubuntu mate to fix and recover a hard drive?  thanks beforehand;)
[11:10] <ouroumov_> locuaz, same as Ubuntu. fsck, photorec, etc
[11:10] <ouroumov_> locuaz, no backup?
[11:10] <locuaz> is an external hard drive , no backup
[11:11] <locuaz> ill check those , thanks;)
[11:11] <ouroumov_> locuaz, you're in for some pain
[11:12] <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?
[11:13] <ouroumov_> what?
[11:14] <locuaz> u know this antivirus karpersky, is got a tool ..  well anyway ill try everything before i loose the hard drive
[11:15] <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
[11:16] <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
[11:17] <locuaz> ok here i go with the story:
[11:18] <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
[11:19] <locuaz> and somehow the files are still there cause i saw them with a cheap Partition manager recover tool
[11:20] <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?
[11:21] <locuaz> the f... cheap tool doesnt allow me to do that when is over a tb
[11:22] <locuaz> thats why im looking for programs open source
[11:23] <SuperEngineer> gparted, partmanager, clonezilla even
[11:24] <locuaz> i will check those. thanks again;)
[11:24] <SuperEngineer> ;-)
[15:16] <CptLoveNipple> Anyone able to explain how to change the skin on the my-weather-indicator widget?
[16:13] <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?
[16:55] <sixwheeledbeast> Lantizia: I believe restricted extras is what you want for flash mp3 etc
[17:11] <linux-masochist> hi all - is there a current bug in chromium for mate on a raspberry pi? it will install but will not launch
[17:29] <nomic> linux-masochist the browser isn't recommended in 1gb
[17:29] <nomic> i use laptop for browsing, mate on pi, for everything else
[17:30] <linux-masochist> nomic - Thanks - Alas my current devices are only an android phone and a pi
[17:31] <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
[17:32] <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] <nomic>  livestreamer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y60wDzZt8yg best --player omxplayer --fifo --player-args "{filename}"
[17:33] <nomic> gets me sky news
[17:33] <nomic> live
[17:33] <linux-masochist> just got the 'i will make this work' bit between my teeth
[17:33] <nomic> in HD
[17:33] <nomic> url = any url (live stream)
[17:33] <linux-masochist> wow -sounds good - will give it a whirl
[17:33] <nomic> livestreamer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y60wDzZt8yg best --player omxplayer --fifo --player-args "--win \"1000 600 1920 1200\" {filename}"
[17:33] <nomic> ^ puts it in a window
[17:45] <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!!!
[18:24] <Darkhero> Langley: it gave me 10, did you enter it right?
[18:26] <Langley> Guess not, even though I checked it many times
[18:30] <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
[18:31] <Matecrayo> which one is MATE?
[18:32] <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
[18:33] <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)
[18:34] <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 :)
[18:39] <CptLoveNipple> Where are the pre-loaded wallpapers stored?
[18:45] <Matecrayo> usr/share/backgrounds i thinnk
[22:02] <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
[22:06] <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
[22:08] <ouroumov_> have you tried autostart with the full path as returned by `which redshift` ?
[22:09] <Langley> Nope, I'll try that
[22:18] <Langley> Another thing, is there any program that can solve simple equations
