| Dooley_da_Vulcan | anyone here had any experience with docker or anything similar? looking at using something that doesnt charge more based on my using more hardware that I buy | 03:57 |
| robk | I accidently set the wrong compositor in ubuntu mate, how do I reset it back to default? | 08:53 |
| ouroumov | Go to MATE Tweak -> Windows | 08:54 |
| ouroumov | In WM options select Marco (Software Compositor) | 08:54 |
| ouroumov | That is the default | 08:54 |
| robk | ouroumov: heh. wish I could. the whole window is black right now. | 08:54 |
| ouroumov | Hm | 08:55 |
| robk | every time I try to use the "macro hardware acceleration" it just goes black. | 08:55 |
| robk | it works if I use compiz | 08:55 |
| robk | or software | 08:55 |
| robk | i'm using vmware. | 08:55 |
| ouroumov | You mean Marco + Compton GPU ? | 08:55 |
| robk | sure.. yeah that one. | 08:55 |
| robk | i'm using 16.04 LTS | 08:55 |
| ouroumov | Okay, lemme see if I can find the command line | 08:55 |
| ouroumov | Actually, never mind that, can you switch the VM to tty1 ? | 08:58 |
| robk | I tried doing: gsettings reset org.mate.session.required-components windowmanager | 08:58 |
| robk | that didn't work. | 08:58 |
| robk | says it needs "x11" to run | 08:58 |
| ouroumov | So you've got a terminal, ok | 08:59 |
| ouroumov | Just run "killall compton" | 08:59 |
| ouroumov | Then use MATE Tweak to switch back to default | 08:59 |
| robk | rkraig@rkraig-vmware-16 ~ $ gsettings reset org.mate.session.required-components windowmanager | 08:59 |
| robk | (process:83706): dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY | 08:59 |
| robk | rkraig@rkraig-vmware-16 ~ $ sudo su | 08:59 |
| robk | rgr.. | 08:59 |
| robk | [sudo] password for rkraig: | 08:59 |
| robk | ➜ rkraig /etc/init.d/lightdm restart | 08:59 |
| robk | [ ok ] Restarting lightdm (via systemctl): lightdm.service. | 08:59 |
| robk | ouroumov: that did the trick. ty. | 09:00 |
| ouroumov | yw | 09:00 |
| robk | I switched back to compiz | 09:00 |
| robk | question.. | 09:00 |
| robk | you ever use 4k resolution? | 09:00 |
| robk | I'm just trying to figure out a theory I have. | 09:00 |
| ouroumov | robk, I don't think GPU accell is useful at all in a VM, I could be wrong | 09:01 |
| ouroumov | robk, sorry no | 09:01 |
| ouroumov | I've never gone past 1080p | 09:01 |
| robk | I have a geforce 770 gtx 2gb ddr5, my presumption is that because I don't have enough video ram, screen rendering seems slow. | 09:01 |
| robk | I use vm because I need to test everything in windows as 1st priority. I run a LGA 2011 xeon 2690 w/ 64gb ddr ecc | 09:02 |
| ouroumov | Yeah 2BG is not a lot | 09:02 |
| ouroumov | I think midrange GPUs pack at least 4GB now | 09:03 |
| robk | nvidia says i have 3.5gb of total video memmory, so I think I probably need to upgrade my video card. I'm currently running a Dell 4k P2715Q monitor | 09:03 |
| robk | I'm eye-balling this right now, https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-08G-P4-6171-KR/dp/B01H74VTBK | 09:07 |
| robk | ouroumov_: your irc die on you? | 09:07 |
| robk | shows you reconnected twice. | 09:08 |
| robk | well, I mean shows you are ouroumov_ & ouroumov | 09:08 |
| robk | :) | 09:08 |
| ouroumov | no, forgot to shut down IRC client on the laptop in my bad, suppose it caught the wifi and went ahead | 09:08 |
| robk | :) | 09:08 |
| robk | I'll repaste.. | 09:08 |

| robk | I'm eye-balling this, https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-08G-P4-6171-KR/dp/B01H74VTBK | 09:08 |
| ouroumov | Yeah I saw | 09:08 |
| robk | seems it's very 4k ready, only 1 dvi port, and 2 hdmi & 2 display ports. | 09:09 |
| ouroumov | Yeah | 09:10 |

| janyra | ok I'm from spain | 11:18 |
| ouroumov | Yes, I can see from your host name :) | 11:19 |

| ouroumov | janyra, ok | 11:23 |
| ouroumov | janyra, no problem so far? | 11:23 |
| reta | can't fix the brightness of my laptop | 11:23 |
| reta | it was working fine since I install but suddenly stopworking | 11:24 |
| ouroumov | reta, hi | 11:24 |
| janyra | NO PROBLEM | 11:25 |
| ouroumov | reta, what version of Ubuntu MATE are you using? | 11:25 |
| reta | 16.o4 | 11:25 |
| ouroumov | janyra, please switch back your caps lock | 11:25 |
| ouroumov | reta, probably due to a kernel update. You should make sure of that by booting using an older kernel and checking if the issue is gone | 11:27 |

| Darkhero | Works fine for me | 21:47 |
| Langley | That calculation?? What am I doing wrong | 21:48 |
| Darkhero | No idea | 21:48 |
| Langley | Are you typing it all in Formula Entry? | 21:48 |
| Darkhero | yes | 21:48 |
| Darkhero | I get -0.159574468085 | 21:49 |

| Langley | Like that? | 21:50 |
| ouroumov_ | tiox, you think he lost his awful machine? Because he hasn't been mentioning it in the Fedora24 article, it's not a review at all. | 21:50 |
| ouroumov_ | Langley, I can't reproduce | 21:50 |
| ouroumov_ | gcalculator gives me the correct result | 21:50 |
| ouroumov_ | Oh wait, maybe I should type it all in one go?) | 21:50 |
| Langley | Yes, the whole line | 21:51 |

| ouroumov_ | I can't get the thing to input parenthesis? | 21:53 |
| naples | Hey all, total newbie here! | 21:54 |
| ouroumov_ | Oh alright, formula entry, got it | 21:54 |
| ouroumov_ | I confirm Langley: -inf | 21:54 |
| ouroumov_ | Hi naples | 21:54 |
| linux-masochist | Hi Naples. | 21:54 |
| naples | hello! | 21:54 |
| ouroumov_ | Langley, have you reported the bug yet? | 21:55 |
| Langley | No... | 21:55 |
| ouroumov_ | Langley, do you plan on doing so? | 21:55 |
| Langley | Last time I had a similar problem it magically solved it just after reporting the bug | 21:55 |
| naples | question, im totally new to linux, wanted to know what apps to get for serving media? | 21:55 |
| naples | locally | 21:55 |
| ouroumov_ | Serving? You mean playing? | 21:56 |
| ouroumov_ | For videos: SMPlayer, for Music, I use Banshee | 21:56 |
| naples | yeah, so i have home video, images etc | 21:56 |
| naples | i want to be able to pulll it up on xbox one media player or kindle | 21:56 |
| naples | so ideally local host serving, but as i mentioned new to linux so not sure where to start | 21:57 |
| linux-masochist | What's running Linux for you? | 21:58 |
| tiox | naples: Plenty of ways to do that. You could set up VLC as a media server and access content on another machine that way. | 21:58 |
| tiox | Know this about me; General knowledge I have, specific knowledge I lack. So just because I know something can be done does not mean I can tell you every bit of it. | 21:59 |
| tiox | That's what Google is for. :P | 21:59 |
| naples | linux-masochist a beat up dell | 22:00 |
| ouroumov_ | For images, EOM is good enough, it's preinstalled | 22:00 |
| ouroumov_ | VLC is also preinstalled as well as a music player | 22:00 |
| ouroumov_ | Langley, since I was able to independently reproduce, you should file a bug report. | 22:00 |
| ouroumov_ | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/galculator | 22:00 |
| naples | linux-masochist a beat up dell; thanks for that, will take a look at VLC on the google | 22:01 |
| tiox | Ideally if you want access to everything, you could set up a samba server and access your content over the network, if I am saying that correctly... | 22:01 |
| tiox | So you can then use other tools to play content from your local network via another machine to provide that content. | 22:01 |
| ouroumov_ | Damn my connection is lagging fsr | 22:02 |
| naples | ideal | 22:02 |
| naples | thats what im looking for | 22:02 |
| Langley | ouroumov_, but now I found the problem... using , vs . | 22:02 |
| Langley | It should accept boooootthhh | 22:03 |
| linux-masochist | naples: That's the beauty of Linux. You can repurpose old hardware. | 22:03 |
| tiox | Then naples this is probably what you seek, or at least, one means to your end; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20Create%20a%20Network%20Share%20Via%20Samba%20Via%20CLI%20(Command-line%20interface/Linux%20Terminal)%20-%20Uncomplicated,%20Simple%20and%20Brief%20Way! | 22:03 |
| Langley | This is madness, on my homework I have to use . but galculator only accepts , | 22:03 |
| ouroumov_ | Langley, I used . | 22:03 |
| tiox | (Jesus Ubuntu that is stupid.) | 22:03 |
| tiox | (Stupidly-long address, lol | 22:04 |
| tiox | ) | 22:04 |
| ouroumov_ | Oh, got it | 22:04 |
| tiox | Langley: Sounds like a locale issue? | 22:04 |
| naples | this is all awesome help folks. looks like my machine has now gotten a new lease of life | 22:04 |
| ouroumov_ | tiox, you can use "." in US locale? | 22:05 |
| tiox | For decimal, yes. | 22:05 |
| ouroumov_ | naples, our forums are helpful too | 22:05 |
| tiox | 16.04, rather than 16,04 | 22:05 |
| ouroumov_ | tiox, I mean, does it work in galculator? | 22:05 |
| tiox | Should. | 22:05 |
| naples | will check them out, might rejoin this chatr another time. sorry fgor butting in & thanks again | 22:06 |
| tiox | Provide me an example and I will attempt to emulate it in galculator. | 22:06 |
| tiox | Oh, don;t be sorry. | 22:06 |

| tiox | 15.9574468085 | 22:08 |
| Langley | Then why can't it do (-3000000/18800000)/0.01 for me | 22:08 |
| tiox | Type 'locale' in terminal and tell me what it spits out for country. | 22:09 |
| tiox | (Mine is en_US) | 22:09 |

| Powersource | just some quick (I think) questions: I've been using i3 in arch with a couple of xfce daemons slapped on. But I've realized xfce development is pretty slow and mate looks to be a great replacement. This time I'm thinking I'd install mate first and then swap the WM. Sounds sane? Is this a recommended way? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt2nxyEIf74 (prev. asked this in #mate but no response) | 22:11 |
| tiox | Please do not spam the chat; Country code should largelly be the same for every instance locale spits out. | 22:11 |
| tiox | ALso, Galculator will not allow me to see a result for Langley's inquiry. | 22:12 |
| Langley | But it's different all over | 22:12 |
| tiox | So either he is doing it wrong or Galculator is _stupidly broken_ | 22:12 |
| tiox | Oh nvm I was doing it wrong. | 22:13 |
| tiox | I added a closing parenthesis where there was no opening. | 22:13 |
| tiox | The answer when using decimal is as expected, when using a comma I get -inf | 22:13 |
| tiox | Negative infinity. What the crap. | 22:13 |
| ouroumov_ | Powersource, you're welcome to ask on the forums, a quick search show very little: https://ubuntu-mate.community/search?q=i3%20wm (but maybe some users will have tried) | 22:14 |
| tiox | Langley: This was your query correct? (-3000000/18800000)/0,01 | 22:15 |
| Langley | Yes, something like that | 22:15 |
| ouroumov_ | Powersource, apparently that "IvCho" guy tried it and it worked | 22:15 |
| Langley | It should accept both . and , it's not like anybody is gonna input a million as 1.000.000 into their calculator | 22:15 |
| tiox | (-3000000/18800000)/0,01 = -∞ | 22:17 |
| tiox | Just, why? I see what you are saying now. | 22:17 |
| tiox | But I believe you are making a mountain out of a molehill; just use the syntax Galculator expects if numerical grammar does not matter. | 22:18 |
| Langley | It's just user unfriendly, since it's the opposite of what my homework tests want. If I use the wrong one there, it just fails me | 22:18 |
| tiox | So? Bear that in mind when typing your response and answer appropriately. | 22:19 |
| Langley | But I think I'll just use my TI-30X, only one button for . there... | 22:19 |
| Langley | I'll mess up eventually | 22:19 |
| ouroumov_ | Guys, 4/0.5 = inf | 22:20 |
| Powersource | ouroumov: that guy sounds like he did it similarly to the video, thanks | 22:22 |
| ouroumov_ | yw | 22:22 |
| tiox | I think anything with a comma is construed as ∞ | 22:23 |
| tiox | So like, -1 * 0,1 is -∞ | 22:23 |
| Langley | Most importantly I found the source of the problem | 22:27 |
| Langley | Thanks for the help, bye | 22:33 |
