ouroumov__tiox1, how much people have you got on discord?17:17
tioxOne active, and that is me. :(17:21
tioxBut hey, the project was a flop. Probably won't be a flop in the future.17:22
tioxGoing to just keep it around, maybe in the next few years, much like any open source project somebody will go "Oh cool!" and tell their friends.17:22

tioxOh also ouroumov ouroumov_ ouroumov__ the Discord guild I made over time generated nine users; Of those, one moderator (wizd3m) and one developer (camiller).17:26
ouroumov__That's better than my school's IRC channel.17:27
tiox1ouroumov__ lol17:32
ouroumov__One clone down.17:33
tiox1ouroumov__ kill them all!17:36
ouroumov__tiox1, nah, the other one is my work machine17:40
ouroumov__I'd rather it stays up that way I can check up on what happened during my morning commute17:40
tiox1Ah. Fair enough.17:44
tiox1Now, ouroumov how can I advertise my guild on Discord without being banned for being a doof about it?17:45
tiox1That's what I've been racking my brain over.17:45
tiox1Also gdi Freenode I just want to rename myself. *sigh*17:45
ouroumov__tiox1, I wouldn't know, though I was granted some restricted moderation tools, I'm not a full-blown forum moderator.17:50
ouroumov__tiox1, that said I don't see why anyone would ban you for it, especially if it's in the uncategorized section17:51
ouroumov__tiox1, if you want to be sure send a PM to v3xx17:51
tiox1Hey ouroumov__ maybe you should try out Discord and recommend it for your school. In the short-term it can be an assist for student's "extra-curricular" activities where they just hop on and spit salt at one another, but in the long-term you can maybe bring up Linux and bring a few people to Linux-oriented servers (like mine) for some more in-depth discussion and advocacy for Linux as a gaming platform.18:03
tiox1Linux-oriented guilds rather. Sometimes terminology is inconsistent.18:04

ubuntu-matehey there, just booted my powermac g5 from the ubuntu mate 16.04.5 live cd. The problem i have is that only one third of my screen is visible and the rest is black20:00
tiox1Followed this? https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227461220:02
ubuntu-mateno browsing is kinda difficult when you only have a third of your 4:3 monitor, thanks to your link i got firefox to open, now i can drag and resize it20:05
tiox1ubuntu-mate: If you do sudo apt install links (or links2) you can press <Ctrl< + <Alt> + Fx (x = 1-6) to display another text-based shell so you can use that for browsing the web. You can then do the same except press F7 instead to return at your X session with the graphics 'n' stuff.20:08
tiox1Oh also, you can install finch for a text-based messenger you can use in any of those other shells.20:10
tiox1Just if you don't want to use your X session until you feel like you've fixed your problem.20:10
ubuntu-mateunfortunately even the full screen terminal shows only the right part of the screen20:10
tiox1Odd.20:11
ubuntu-mateMy monitor seems to work alright since the osd does show up on the left part of the screen20:11
ubuntu-matei will go and replace the vga cable20:11
tiox1ubuntu-mate: If there's no answer from us, consult either ##Linux or #arch for more information about a resolution to your issue. Ironically enough, despite all the information we have our brothers who use Arch or don't care about Ubuntu in general can sometimes yield something helpful.20:12
ubuntu-matealright thank you! have a nice evening (assuming you're in the same time zone)20:15

tiox1Seems like Freenode fixed the DDoS issue though I doubt it's the last time.20:16

tioxHad to leave a protected channel to change my nick.20:17
tioxBecause for some odd reason ##hardware is super-restrictive.20:17
ouroumov__Is it just me or is the forum kinda quiet these days?20:19
tioxThe forum is rather quiet.20:21
tioxBut I believe that's because there isn't much troubleshooting or new information being made there.20:21
ouroumov__Maybe it means there's enough info already in the thread for effective search queries when people are trying to fix stuff20:21
tioxI know any time I do something in that forum it eventually bubbles upt o page 1 of a Google search.20:22
tioxmy thread "Mint-Y is pretty okay" is result #10 for query "ubuntu mint y"20:22

tioxmy thread "Mint-Y is pretty okay" is result #10 for query "ubuntu mint y"20:24
tioxI never made the guide for installing it because it's like, stupidly hard to install so it matches with Linux Mint's installation. I must be missing depends or some settings in Linux Mint are just _that different_ as to not line up with Ubuntu proper.20:24
tioxBut, I did discover that Mint-Y Darker doesn't work in LM Mate either.20:24
tioxSo that makes me feel _sort of_ good about it not working in Ubuntu MATE.20:25
LangleyHello, why does wanting to remove thunderbird also want to remove ubuntu-mate-desktop ?? Wont that break my system?20:27
tioxmeta packages could in theory break your system only on update, but you can safely remove them in practice.20:28
LangleyBut is it right that it want to remove it...?20:28
ouroumov__Langley, ubuntu-mate-desktop and ubuntu-mate-core are metapackages. This issue is know and the structure is gonna be changed in 16.10 so as to allow removing them without that kind of problems20:33
tioxHonestly Thunderbird being removed shouldn't be a problem which demands ubuntu-mate-desktop and I made a small fuss about it on the forum. Ubuntu 16.10... what ouroumov said.20:33
ouroumov__Yup20:33
ouroumov__I agree too, I like to be able to remove stuff.20:33
ouroumov__Though the inconvenient is minor for me, I only ever wanted to remove Plank20:33
tioxNo use complaining about it, I just find it stupid af and I am glad it is being resolved in 16.10.20:33
tioxDoesn't help me, though since I intend to remain with LTS until next LTS.20:33
LangleyOr would there otherwise be any problems removing thunderbird? I don't need it20:33
LangleyMe too... but no problems removing it then?20:33
tioxShouldn't be an issue.20:34
tioxI would just put in a shell script meta packages to reinstall as you modify the system, just to be safe.20:34
tiox(Since Linux Mint enforces installation of system metas as part of the upgrade process last I looked.)20:34
LangleyCan you explain that in english20:35
tioxThink of it like a Windows batch file. And even then you can just dump a bunch of commands in plain text and said .sh fiile (or any document ran with sh, doesn't have to end with .sh) would perform those commands in sequence.20:36
tioxNice for mass deployment.20:36
LangleyI don't get what you want to do20:37

tioxUhm... what?20:38
LangleyYou just said "I wanna do x" but I don't understand why20:39
LangleyAnyways I gotta go make dinner now, thanks20:39
tioxAlright. Sorry for any misunderstanding.20:39
tioxouroumov__ did you understand what i meant?20:40
rahtgaztiox, I think I understood what you mean. But reinstalling those meta packages will reinstall the stuff you uninstalled. WHich is quite a pain.21:15
rahtgazOne of the reasons (not the most important one) why I just prefer to reinstall instead of upgrade21:16
TheMariuzsad to say but mate had too many bugs, and linux mint sorted out most22:40
