| PeOMG_GE | As i boot up my ubuntu-mate i see the grub-menu (mate style) http://picpaste.com/pic1-0M9gxI1c.jpg. Ten seconds later it's overlayed by a dark rectangle for another 10 seconds. http://picpaste.com/pic2-XShv8SzZ.jpg. After that the normal boot goes on (with fschk or what ever). How can i get rid of this dark screen, or make it fullscreen? | 11:46 |

| mate|48837 | Hi! | 17:22 |
| mate|48837 | can anyone recommend an irc application for me? I just installed ubuntu mate on my macbook... i can use this browser based one, but if theres an app i can get from the software boutique that would be great | 17:22 |
| Akuli | mate|48837, doesn't your ubuntu mate come with hexchat? | 17:23 |
| mate|48837 | it could! i ahve no idea what that is | 17:23 |
| mate|48837 | i will search for it | 17:23 |
| mate|48837 | this is my first linux experience | 17:23 |
| Akuli | ok :) | 17:23 |
| Akuli | hexchat is an irc client i used for a couple years, worked great mostly | 17:23 |
| mate|48837 | got it! | 17:24 |
| simko | it works! | 17:24 |
| mate|48837 | ^me on hexchat | 17:24 |
| mate|48837 | ok, im closing the browser version | 17:25 |
| Akuli | ok, nice :) | 17:25 |
| simko | honestly, im so new at this anything minor like this is a major achievement | 17:25 |
| simko | Akuli, you just made my day | 17:25 |
| Akuli | yes, it feels like that when you're getting started :) | 17:25 |
| Akuli | take your time with things, no hurry :) | 17:25 |
| Akuli | if you like using irc there's plenty of other channels you might like on irc | 17:25 |
| simko | is there a channel for rookie ubuntu mate help? | 17:26 |
| Akuli | rookie? | 17:26 |
| simko | newbie | 17:27 |
| simko | someone brand new | 17:27 |
| Akuli | you can ask here all kinds of questions, including beginner questions :) | 17:28 |
| simko | I think for now i have a general question, then one very, very specific one | 17:29 |
| simko | I put mate on my macbook, every time the screen dims or computer goes to hibernate when i start using the computer again the keyboard brightness is very bright | 17:30 |
| simko | i was wondering if there is a way to stop that | 17:30 |
| ouroumov | simko, that doesn't ring a bell | 17:58 |
| ouroumov | simko, maybe you can ask on our forums though, you're not the first one to try on macbook | 17:58 |
| Akuli | simko, there's power settings somewhere | 17:59 |
| Akuli | seems to be system -> settings -> screensaver | 17:59 |
| simko | i will look into it | 18:00 |
| simko | where is the forum? | 18:00 |
| simko | i have to get off chat in a few minutes, but would like to search the forum | 18:00 |
| simko | is it just this: https://ubuntu-mate.community/ | 18:01 |
| simko | ? | 18:01 |
| Akuli | i think that's it | 18:01 |
| simko | ok | 18:01 |
| ouroumov | yup | 18:01 |
| simko | great | 18:03 |
| simko | ok, have to jet now | 18:03 |
| simko | ill be bsack later, thanks akuli for the help with the irc client | 18:03 |
| simko | and thnkas ouroumov | 18:03 |
| === odroid is now known as odroid-c2 | ||
| odroid-c2 | Help - Anyone, After installing X11VNCServer my mate-terminal closes imediately after opening. How can I fix it? | 18:58 |
| Akuli | odroid-c2, before you do anything else i tell you: you can get back to the GUI world by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7 | 18:59 |
| odroid-c2 | Ok | 18:59 |
| Akuli | now that you know that, go to Ctrl+Alt+F1 and try to login. then come back here with Ctrl+Alt+F7 and tell me if logging in worked. | 19:00 |
| Akuli | the password is hidden, just like with sudo | 19:00 |
| odroid-c2 | No, after entering the password, it cycles back to the username prompt | 19:01 |
| Akuli | so you can't run a shell at all... this is not nice | 19:01 |
| Akuli | open pluma | 19:02 |
| odroid-c2 | Even when I putty from a windows box, it accepts the username, password then closes window | 19:02 |
| odroid-c2 | Open | 19:02 |
| odroid-c2 | Pluma -> Open, What's next? | 19:03 |
| Akuli | hmm | 19:04 |
| Akuli | you probably have some software managing application installed? | 19:04 |
| ArcTM_ | Is this the right channel to get support? I'm not really used to using IRC, sorry. | 19:04 |
| Akuli | ArcTM_, yes | 19:04 |
| odroid-c2 | Yes | 19:04 |
| ArcTM_ | Ok, thanks. | 19:05 |
| odroid-c2 | Applications -> System Tools -> Software | 19:05 |
| Akuli | can you just remove the thing you installed and see if it helps? :) | 19:05 |
| ArcTM_ | The installer keeps crashing when trying to install GRUB2. The roughly translated message is: "The packet grub-efi-amd64-signed couldn't be installed in /target/. | 19:06 |
| Akuli | ArcTM_, the graphical installer? | 19:07 |
| odroid-c2 | Ok, removed. Did not help. Maybe after reboot? | 19:07 |
| ArcTM_ | I guess thats the one, yes. | 19:07 |
| ArcTM_ | I'm on the live version with an USB Stick right now. | 19:07 |
| Akuli | ok | 19:07 |
| Akuli | you could try to install it yourself with the terminal, but i don't know if that's going to actually work | 19:08 |
| Akuli | if you want to try it, open a terminal and type this there: sudo apt-get install grub-efi-amd64-signed | 19:09 |
| ArcTM_ | I'm getting the same error as in the installer here. | 19:10 |
| ArcTM_ | The following packages have unmet dependencies: grub-efi-amd64-signed : Depends: grub-efi-amd64 (= 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu11) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | 19:10 |
| Akuli | see if you can install grub-efi-amd64 | 19:10 |
| ArcTM_ | Nope, doesn't work either. | 19:10 |
| Akuli | are you trying to install 16.10? if you are you might want to use 16.04 instead | 19:11 |
| ArcTM_ | 16.04.01 LTS is the one I'm trying to install right now. | 19:11 |
| Akuli | ok | 19:12 |
| Akuli | then i have no idea what's wrong, maybe we should wait for flexiondotorg's opinion on this | 19:12 |
| ArcTM_ | Ok :/ | 19:13 |
| ouroumov | ArcTM_, do you have access to any application launcher, such as synapse? | 19:18 |
| ouroumov | or the stuff that opens when pressing ALT+F2? | 19:18 |
| Akuli | ouroumov, are you confusing ArcTM_ and odroid-c2? | 19:19 |
| ouroumov | oh | 19:19 |
| ouroumov | yes I was | 19:19 |
| Akuli | :) | 19:19 |
| ouroumov | sorry | 19:19 |
| ArcTM_ | and there I thought someone had in idea what might be wrong :( | 19:19 |
| ouroumov | ArcTM_, have you checked the .iso you downloaded prior to burning it? | 19:20 |
| ouroumov | ArcTM_, also have you tried starting the live USB in install mode and not go through the live session? | 19:21 |
| ArcTM_ | I have not checked the SHA, but I used the built-in error check of the usb drive | 19:21 |
| ArcTM_ | Nope, haven't tried the second option yet. I was afraid that I might not understand it and format the wrong drive. | 19:22 |
| ouroumov | It's exactly the same sequence of steps, except you choose language first | 19:23 |
| ArcTM_ | I suppose I'll try that then. Only have this PC avaiable currently so I'll report back later if that had different results :) | 19:24 |
| ouroumov | Sure | 19:24 |
| Akuli | i just use torrents and let the torrent client do the hashing :) | 19:29 |
| ArcTM | Here I am again, the second option sadly didn't work. | 19:37 |
| ArcTM | Same error as before. | 19:37 |
| Akuli | i guess odroid-c2 got his problem fixed because he's not coming back... | 19:37 |
| Akuli | i hope | 19:38 |
| ArcTM | When I'm looking at GParted then the SWAP partition seems to be locked(?), is that normal? | 19:39 |
| ouroumov | You're doing manual partitions under EFI mode? | 19:39 |
| ouroumov | Please describe the partition layout you picked. | 19:39 |
| ArcTM | Not manual, but in UEFI mode. | 19:39 |
| ouroumov | hm | 19:40 |
| ouroumov | I must have missed part of the conversation | 19:41 |
| ArcTM | I didn't say much, just that thing with the package that keeps failing and that I'm trying to dual boot with two SSD's. | 19:41 |
| ouroumov | ArcTM, so please confirm you're not doing the partition layout yourself? | 19:43 |
| ArcTM | I'm not. | 19:43 |
| ouroumov | ArcTM, are you selecting "Erase disk and install" ? | 19:44 |
| ArcTM | ouroumov, yes. | 19:44 |
| ouroumov | Well this is just weird | 19:44 |
| ArcTM | ouroumov, I doubt that will help but is there an option to completly empty the disk before I can start the installer? | 19:46 |
| ouroumov | The installer creates a new partition table and does a quick format of the partitions, which should have the same effect I think. | 19:48 |
| ArcTM | Looking at Gparted the linux-swap is mounted/locked though. Maybe that is cause of the issue? | 19:50 |
| ouroumov | I don't think so ArcTM | 19:58 |
| ouroumov | ArcTM, can you tell me the exact filename of the iso you used? | 19:59 |
| ArcTM | I don't think I have that on my Drive anymore. I did use the Directlink from ubuntuusers.de | 20:00 |
| ArcTM | ubuntu-mate-16.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso should be it, ouroumov | 20:01 |
| ouroumov | ArcTM, I'm just throwing in the dark at this point but I recommend you download the ISO again from ubuntu-mate.org | 20:03 |
| ouroumov | Check the sha, etc | 20:03 |
| ArcTM | I'll do that then. Gonna check back in like an hour when the download and another installation attempt are finished. | 20:04 |
| ArcTM | ouroumov, creating a new USB Stick did help and the installation finished as intended this time. Thank you for your help :) | 20:50 |

| White_Light | Are there any gtk devs here? I was unable to right-click in Pluma after a while, and I noticed that strace was showing "write(2, "\n(pluma:13797): Gtk-CRITICAL **:"..., 116) = 116" - which does not occur normally for Pluma. I attempted to attach gdb to it, but I managed to crash the process. So far I've been unable to reproduce the issue. Does anyone know what the error message could mean, or point me towards a GTK error | 22:46 |
| White_Light | reference? | 22:46 |
