[00:02] <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.
[00:03] <masnell_> Definitely can do hibernation
[00:03] <masnell_> Doubt if active on Live USB tho
[00:05] <masnell_> Hibernation AFAIK uses swap space to store RAM content, and live USB won't have access to such
[00:06] <masnell_> So ensure swap file/partition = or > system RAM for hibernation use
[00:09] <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> ?
[00:16] <barrympix> I imagine that I would limit myself to 64-bit arch, and non-OS X and non-Linux machines.

[00:40]  * barrympix walks out down the hall a bit to find the loo
[00:48] <barrympix> so no on the USB sized computer?
[00:59] <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
[01:21] <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.
[01:22] <barrympix> How would I go about creating this USB computer?
[01:24] <barrympix> I think I have found a reference - "USB Portable Ubuntu".  but no guidance.

[08:21] <ceegee> good morning!
[08:23] <ceegee> I specified a keyboard shortcut to start konsole. It starts the programm but does not set focus on it.
[08:24] <ceegee> is there any additional configuration required?
[09:24] <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
[09:36] <ceegee> windowmanager is marco
[10:31] <paesico02> Hello everyone.
[10:32] <paesico02> Are screenlets supported by Ubuntu Mate 16.04?
[10:33] <paesico02> I just can't install them.
[16:56] <mate|13329> hey guys!
[16:56] <mate|13329> i have a problem in my fresh ubuntu mate install
[16:56] <mate|13329> can anybody help me
[16:57] <mate|13329> Im sorry!
[16:57] <mate|13329> Is this the right place to ask
[16:57] <mate|13329> ?
[16:58] <mate|13329> I have installed- dual boot windows 10 and ubuntu mate 16.04
[17:00] <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
[17:02] <mate|13329> thanks!
[17:02] <mate|13329> please help
[17:05] <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
[17:06] <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 :)

[17:17] <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
[17:18] <mate|12267> though it is working fine, I am able to log in
[17:19] <Akuli> oh thingy like that
[17:19] <Akuli> i had the same thing when i used ubuntu mate's weird grub theme
[17:20] <mate|12267> oh! how to resolve that!?
[17:20] <Akuli> you can live with it or get rid of the ubuntu mate grub theme
[17:21] <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!
[17:24] <Akuli> open a terminal and type this: dpkg --get-selections | grep grub | grep ubuntu-mate
[17:25] <mate|12267> ok
[17:25] <mate|12267> done
[17:25] <Akuli> what did you get?
[17:26] <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
[17:27] <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 :)
[17:28] <mate|12267> ok! i'll check!
[17:29] <mate|12267> i'll be back!
[17:31] <mate|53932> Thanks! it worked!
[17:31] <Akuli> great :)
[17:31] <mate|53932> thanks!
