[06:02] <Guest89607> does anyone know how to check which ubuntu version i have?
[06:33] <nomic> erm
[06:34] <nomic> /etc/issue
[06:35] <alkisg> Too late, he only stayed for a couple of minutes
[06:35] <alkisg> We must get a chat bot to keep them busy :D
[06:54] <masnell> alkisg: great idea. Cld add the function to auto Google Ubuntu sites and return the top 3 answers when question detected - probably answer at least half correctly
[06:55] <nomic> would be untidy
[06:55] <nomic> mebbe to put in a channel window
[06:55] <nomic> have a parallel channel with autogoogle attempts at answering queries
[06:58] <masnell> nomic: true, but won't be surprised if you found it was easy to be focused, eg, q not a TO:, user only on <5 min etc
[07:11] <alkisg> Just for new users named ubuntu-mate* or guest*, and only for their first question... and it could just answer with a "Hi there! Note that users don't watch the IRC window all the times, so you may need to wait at least for 10 minutes to get the first answer."
[07:17] <masnell> bz on something already, else I think it would be interesting to learn how to build an IRC bot to do it.
[10:14] <eagle-357> hello how'r U ?
[10:28] <libaofeng> ubuntu mate is beatiful
[10:28] <libaofeng> i very like
[13:21] <omega> hi how do i mount location
[13:40] <Chet> omega: what location?
[14:18] <omega> hi chet i have added a toshiba hard disk but when i click on it this is the response"Unable to mount location"
[14:29] <Chet> is the drive formatted?
[14:31] <Chet> omega: open terminal and type: sudo fdisk -l
[14:32] <Chet> Can you see your drive?
[14:32] <Chet> see if you can mount the drive in terminal: http://askubuntu.com/questions/231391/unable-to-mount-location-cant-mount-file
[14:36] <omega> no i cann't see
[14:37] <Chet> hmm... external or internal drive?
[15:01] <omega> chet its internal from a toshiba laptop
[15:02] <UNIm95> Hi 2 all. I have problem with mate and Top menu. I made clean install in Virtulbox from mini.iso. Next apt-get install mate desktop. Next i try add to upper panel Top menu.
[15:02] <UNIm95> But nothing happens.
[15:03] <ouroumov> omega, please provide the output of "lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,MOUNTPOINT"
[15:03] <UNIm95> Other applets i can add/remove without problems
[15:04] <ouroumov> UNIm95, I wouldn't call an install from mini.iso "clean", and I think you need to install both "ubuntu-mate-desktop" and "ubuntu-mate-core"
[15:05] <omega> NAME           FSTYPE MOUNTPOINT
[15:05] <omega> sda
[15:05] <omega> ├─sda1         ext4   /
[15:05] <omega> ├─sda2
[15:05] <omega> └─sda5         swap
[15:06] <omega>   └─cryptswap1 swap   [SWAP]
[15:06] <omega> sdb
[15:06] <omega> sr0
[15:06] <omega> uniM95 thats it
[15:07] <UNIm95> ouroumov: This packages are installed
[15:10] <UNIm95> One moment! I can add Top to Lower panel but not to upper.
[15:10] <ouroumov> omega, so your drive is there, it's most likely /dev/sdb, but apparently there's no partition on it, which is why you can't mount it.
[15:11] <ouroumov> omega, use "Disks" utility (or "gparted" - but be careful not to select wrong device) to create the partition
[15:11] <Chet> System > preferences > hardware > disks
[15:16] <omega> ok how will i know the right disk
[15:18] <omega> i have identified it now how to mount it
[15:20] <omega> chet it has options here to restore partition image
[15:20] <omega> or create partition image
[15:25] <Chet> is anything listed in volumes?
[15:43] <omega> chet no
[15:44] <omega> its just a plain volume of 500gb
[15:44] <omega> that is unknown
[16:07] <Chet> omega: Are there any files on the drive? Is it formatted? (I think I asked you that already)
[16:38] <mate|71773> hi, i have 16.10 beta 10
[16:38] <mate|71773> i cant change homepage in ubuntu
[16:38] <mate|71773> any ideas?
[16:40] <Chet> welcome screen?
[16:40] <mate|71773> no, the ubuntu home page
[16:41] <mate|71773> oh sorry
[16:41] <mate|71773> i meant Firefox lol
[16:42] <mate|71773> it keeps reverting back to Ubuntu Mate home page
[16:43] <Chet> that is fucked
[16:43] <Chet> reinstall?
[16:43] <Chet> gtg later ppls
[16:44] <mate|71773> lol.....huh?
[16:44] <mate|71773> :)
[21:08] <khw> I recently upgraded to 16.04.  It did not go perfectly, and I had to use 'aptitude' to finish it.  Prior to that firefox would keep crashing.
[21:08] <khw> But since the upgrade, every time I login in, I immediately get a dialog box about a 'system error',  and asking if I want to report it.
[21:08] <khw> The option to see any details is not offered.  In /var/log/syslog, there are a bunch of errors marked 'critical'.  Almost everything seems
[21:08] <khw> to be working ok nonetheless, except today in gvim,  several times I've hit several CTRL-E keys in rapid succession to scroll down a
[21:08] <khw> few lines, and the computer freezes, and I have to do a hard reboot from the power switch.  Any suggestions?
[21:12] <TheMarius> try linux mint 18 instead, 16.04 had so many bugs i gave up on it, but linux mint 18 is from what i hear from most, a less buggy system
[21:12] <TheMarius> and thats my experience too
[21:12] <TheMarius> i tried 16.04 mate
