sambagirlis anyone having ubuntu freezing up regularly to the point you sometimes have to reboot?21:58
sakrecoersambagirl: no, that isn't the expected behaviour...22:03
sambagirlwhat is the default window manager for the current release i just downloaded it and i dont see applications places or system which i prefer since ubuntu 5.x22:06
sakrecoersambagirl: ubuntu 5.x ?22:07
sambagirlyes version number22:07
sakrecoersambagirl: the current LTS is 16.0422:07
sambagirlre-read my previous post22:08
sakrecoerright, window manager..22:08
sakrecoerbut we use XFCE as Desktop Environement.22:09
sakrecoerbut, i get all hesitant about window manager22:09
sambagirlahh ok22:10
sambagirli am installing it aside windows 10 on this touchscreen i picked up. doing it as i type22:11
sakrecoerintersting :)22:12
sakrecoeri'm probably not your best source, but the closest i get to "window manger" is xfwm422:13
sambagirlwell it';s on its way aside 10. i tried this with earlier ubuntu studio and touchscreen works fab.22:15
sambagirli just cant stomach windows22:15
sambagirldoing through usb via rufus22:16
sambagirlforget rufus i used that to write the image22:16
sakrecoerwow! i need to try that too sometime. touchscreen that is...22:17
sakrecoerbut how do you handle the keyboard things..22:18
sakrecoer?22:18
solasoulrufus is great i have it setup on windows 10 alongside...yeah windows does get tiring after a while plus for IT proffessionals Ubuntu offers a more stable environment to work22:18
sambagirlyou mean the popup for typing?22:19
sambagirlthe onscreen keyboard?22:19
sambagirlwell first i will install mate for the desktop22:19
sakrecoer:)yeah, that is what i was thinking too,  but i keep on hearing "everything is different becuase: touchscreen so the hole thing needs to be different" intuitively i'm feelin its all about whiping up a cream about appstores and big shiny resource craving buttons...22:20
sambagirlbrb22:20
sambagirlhttp://www.webupd8.org/2016/06/install-mate-114-in-ubuntu-mate-1604.html22:23
sakrecoersambagirl: ok, mate. but i mean, no worries? touchscreen with regular desktop layout: all good?22:24
sambagirlstill installing but i have experienced it in the past and it works excellent.22:26
sambagirlholy mackeral i think it wiped out my windows 10 build22:29
sakrecoerhaha! like, i've been quite because i haven't tried. but i really cant' see the reasons behind the "this pocket computer that is as good as your 15 year old machine needs a completly different type of everything becuase: touchscreen"22:30
sakrecoeroh...22:31
sambagirli got the touchscreen for 50$ :D22:31
sambagirlit's an asus ca2000 or sometrhing like that22:31
sambagirli couldnt pass it up22:31
sambagirli had thought grub would have ubuntu studio and windows 10 options but all i see is ubuntu22:33
solasoulif you get synaptic you can install ubuntu studio from there22:35
solasoulthats how i got it22:35
solasouluse the base ubuntu  to install synaptic package manager22:35
solasoulsearch studio and select ubuntu studio from the results be careful though there will be a bunch of excess programs installed so make sure your partition has enough disk space i had to manually uninstall a few programs i didnt need from the terminal22:38
sambagirloh yes i forgot about that22:38
sambagirli just wanted to see if i can still access the 10 partition, if it even still exists. i had a ton of stuff on there damnit22:39
solasoulyes22:39
solasoulbut the key is F12 on a laptop dont know about the device22:39
sambagirlumm22:41
sambagirli have to get back into 10. have to figure this out. i hope its still there. i will do a hdd check thing brb22:42
`{^v^}?22:42
sambagirljesus christ i cant believe gparted isnt included in the build?22:45
sambagirlso ubuntu 16.04 cant see windows 10? is that it?22:47
sambagirlit said duing the install it was installing it along side 1022:48
sambagirlwell mate is almost finished22:48
sambagirlit's there! after the install of mate it shows up on the grub menu now.22:50
sambagirl:)22:50
`{^v^}you dont have an icon for it on ur desktop?  (icon of HDD with $partition-size Volume)22:50
`{^v^}weird22:50
sambagirlheh22:50
sambagirli am booting into 10 for a test then restarting to studio22:50
`{^v^}im surprised to find shotwell wasnt included22:51

sakrecoero/22:52
sambagirlsakrecoer it's working now22:52
sambagirlonce i installed mate it showed up22:52
`{^v^}truly wierd that installing mate updated grub22:53
sambagirli saw in the build process of installing mate it was pointing to 10 so i felt better but i just loged into it and it works22:53
sambagirlnow let me try to go back to studio22:53
sakrecoerits part of the finall install process i think, updating grub... but i might just be too tired :) bye \o22:53
