| barrympix | I am assuming I can make an Ubuntu-MATE live USB and check the hibernate function out like that. I just wanted to make sure there WAS a hibernate function first of all, and really wasn't sure if the live-USB would work if it did. | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| masnell_ | Definitely can do hibernation | 00:03 |
| masnell_ | Doubt if active on Live USB tho | 00:03 |
| masnell_ | Hibernation AFAIK uses swap space to store RAM content, and live USB won't have access to such | 00:05 |
| masnell_ | So ensure swap file/partition = or > system RAM for hibernation use | 00:06 |
| barrympix | I have another ?. I recall someone telling me that I could make a USB stick bigger than 64GB work as a portable OS and HDD that would work on pretty much any computer with a USB port and a decent amount of RAM. How does one go about making a USB drive OS that will allow me to operate on an available computer, totally bypassing the HDD. | 00:09 |
| barrympix | ? | 00:09 |
| barrympix | I imagine that I would limit myself to 64-bit arch, and non-OS X and non-Linux machines. | 00:16 |

| * barrympix pacing about | 00:35 | |
| * barrympix walks out down the hall a bit to find the loo | 00:40 | |
| barrympix | so no on the USB sized computer? | 00:48 |
| masnell_ | Usb yes, hibernation no cos hibernation will not work between computers - hibernate on a 8gb ram machine will fail on a 4gb machine to restore | 00:59 |
| masnell_ | Plus usb port / path will change between computers | 00:59 |
| barrympix | That would be a truly robust OS that could hibernate 8GB and wake up to only 4GB. Yes that would be a crash you could probably hear. Hibernation aside, I would like to be able to bring my USB computer with me, to a brothers house for example, and move all his Microsoftness aside while I finish a paper, look up stuff on the internet. Then shut do | 01:21 |
| barrympix | wn and leave his computer 100% as it was before I used it. Let's just say I've been falsely accused of breaking stuff. | 01:21 |
| barrympix | How would I go about creating this USB computer? | 01:22 |
| barrympix | I think I have found a reference - "USB Portable Ubuntu". but no guidance. | 01:24 |

| ceegee | good morning! | 08:21 |
| ceegee | I specified a keyboard shortcut to start konsole. It starts the programm but does not set focus on it. | 08:23 |
| ceegee | is there any additional configuration required? | 08:24 |
| ouroumov | ceegee, it might depend on your window manager | 09:24 |
| ouroumov | Marco+Compton sets focus on mate-terminal when it's launched through CTRL+ALT+T | 09:24 |
| ceegee | windowmanager is marco | 09:36 |

| mate|13329 | can anybody help me | 16:56 |
| mate|13329 | Im sorry! | 16:57 |
| mate|13329 | Is this the right place to ask | 16:57 |
| mate|13329 | ? | 16:57 |
| mate|13329 | I have installed- dual boot windows 10 and ubuntu mate 16.04 | 16:58 |
| mate|13329 | in the boot menu, I am getting a nice GRUB boot menu. Then if I clicked ubuntu a black box is appearing in the greenish box. But it works fine. | 17:00 |
| mate|13329 | it looks horrible | 17:00 |
| mate|13329 | how to resolve it | 17:00 |
| mate|13329 | thanks! | 17:02 |
| mate|13329 | please help | 17:02 |
| Akuli | mate|13329, can you take a screenshot? i have no idea what black box in green box you're talking about. | 17:05 |
| Akuli | or well, a picture of the screen | 17:05 |
| mate|13329 | then i have to restart my laptop, currently im in mate. Would you give me 5 minutes ? | 17:06 |
| mate|13329 | i will post a photo of that | 17:06 |
| Akuli | ok :) | 17:06 |

| mate|12267 | hi | 17:17 |
| mate|12267 | there | 17:17 |
| mate|12267 | sorry im late | 17:17 |
| mate|12267 | this is happening if i click ubuntu option in the grub | 17:17 |
| mate|12267 | though it is working fine, I am able to log in | 17:18 |
| Akuli | oh thingy like that | 17:19 |
| Akuli | i had the same thing when i used ubuntu mate's weird grub theme | 17:19 |
| mate|12267 | oh! how to resolve that!? | 17:20 |
| Akuli | you can live with it or get rid of the ubuntu mate grub theme | 17:20 |
| mate|12267 | ok how to get rid of that theme help! | 17:21 |
| Akuli | your grub will look a bit different without the theme, a bit more like this http://www.dedoimedo.com/images/computers_years/2011_2/grub2-fedora-16-changed-timeout-boot.png | 17:21 |
| Akuli | i think it was just one package i removed, let's see if i can find it | 17:21 |
| mate|12267 | that's better! | 17:21 |
| Akuli | open a terminal and type this: dpkg --get-selections | grep grub | grep ubuntu-mate | 17:24 |
| mate|12267 | ok | 17:25 |
| mate|12267 | done | 17:25 |
| Akuli | what did you get? | 17:25 |
| mate|12267 | grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate install | 17:26 |
| mate|12267 | grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate install | 17:26 |
| mate|12267 | grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate install | 17:26 |
| mate|12267 | one line only | 17:27 |
| Akuli | ok | 17:27 |
| Akuli | you can get rid of it like this: sudo apt-get remove grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate | 17:27 |
| Akuli | then reboot and you should have a menu like in the picture i linked :) | 17:27 |
| mate|12267 | ok! i'll check! | 17:28 |
| mate|12267 | i'll be back! | 17:29 |
| mate|53932 | Thanks! it worked! | 17:31 |
| Akuli | great :) | 17:31 |
| mate|53932 | thanks! | 17:31 |
