[08:54] <alkisg> What is its name? Is it a .deb file/
[08:54] <alkisg> ?
[08:54] <direct> maybe can send u , with wetransf install
[08:54] <direct> yes, is .deb
[08:54] <alkisg> What is its name?
[08:54] <alkisg> (the filename)
[08:54] <direct> macmillan offline portable
[08:55] <alkisg> No, the .deb filename
[08:55] <alkisg> Like, macmillan-3.123.deb
[08:56] <direct> ok one momment
[08:56] <direct> i share with u
[08:56] <direct> a link with download
[08:56] <alkisg> Can't you just tell us the filename?
[08:57] <alkisg> I don't want to install it, i'm trying to help you
[08:57] <direct> ok
[08:57] <direct> i find on mount usb
[08:57] <direct> the path is
[08:58] <direct> e:\copiar_al_escritorio
[08:58] <direct> install.sh
[08:58] <alkisg> This is not a .deb
[08:59] <alkisg> It's a .sh
[09:00] <direct> ok when i open install ... i see $pendrive/book/pulse1.deb
[09:00] <alkisg> It appears to be a custom application, which is not supported by ubuntu
[09:00] <alkisg> You should ask the application authors for help
[09:00] <alkisg> Contact the macmillan company
[09:01] <direct> ok thanks
[09:01] <alkisg> np
[09:06] <hp> it's late/early where i am so i must ask first. is anyone active right now?
[09:07] <alkisg> !ask
[09:07] <alkisg> There are people from around the world here
[09:07] <alkisg> But they won't respond anyway, if you don't ask first
[09:10] <hp> sorry and thanks. can i go back to 16.10 without re-installing? somehow i ended up on 17.04 and it seems to not be ready as it keeps crashing. or at least on my machine it keeps crashing.
[09:10] <alkisg> It's very difficult to downgrade
[09:10] <alkisg> Best reinstall. And why not 16.04 instead, which is LTS?
[09:13] <hp> i actually installed the lts one but somehow it updated all in one day. i only asked about 16.10 because i assumed if i could downgrade it would be easier to go back one release rather than two.
[09:14] <alkisg> Unfortunately downgrading isn't really supported, you will have a really hard time doing it, it's best to reinstall
[09:15] <hp> when i do, how can i insure this doesnt happen again? any idea what i did wrong?
[09:15] <alkisg> Did you run `do-release-upgrade` or something?
[09:15] <alkisg> It's not an automatic process
[09:15] <alkisg> It's something that you manually did
[09:18] <hp> nope, didnt know that was a command. i did however click the all updates thing rather than the dont break my computer. but i didnt think that would jump passed the supported release..?
[09:18] <alkisg> 16.10 is a supported release
[09:19] <alkisg> you shouldn't be able to go to 17.04 unless you clicked developers release or something
[09:19] <hp> yes but my latest error message said 17.06 has encountered an error
[09:19] <hp> could it have been a popup i clicked ok on? i do that a lot lol
[09:20] <alkisg> No, there are no popups to get you from an lts version to a non-lts version
[09:20] <alkisg> You did that manually
[09:21] <alkisg> What's the output of this? grep Prompt /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[09:22] <hp> jusst said "prompt=normal" prompt is in red text
[09:26] <alkisg> That should be prompt=lts
[09:26] <alkisg> It means you manually changed that to normal, and got to 16.10
[09:27] <alkisg> What's the output of: grep VERSION_ID /etc/os-release
[09:27] <hp> i dont even know how to do that lol
[09:27] <hp> just a sec
[09:27] <alkisg> You did it from the software updates dialog, probably
[09:28] <hp> 17.04 with version id in red text as well
[09:28] <alkisg> Yeah you did manage to go to 17.04 :D
[09:29] <hp> its cool i got a mac dock but it keeps crashing and my desktop becomes inactive. i have sent all error messages though
[09:29] <hp> plank mate is super cool though
[11:17] <sund0wn> Hi Everyone, I've got a question about /etc/pam.d/lightdm-greeter or maybe /etc/pam.d/mate-screensaver. I've got fido u2f working with a yubico key for login, sudo and switching users. But when waking from suspend i just get a password prompt that doesn't prompt for me to press the key and then always fails.
[11:21] <sund0wn> My auth rule for the key is in common-auth. I've tried adding the same rule to /etc/pam.d/lightdm, /etc/pam.d/lightdm-greeter and /etc/pam.d/mate-screensaver. None worked and caused weird issues which I think is because of the rule being run more than once.
[11:21] <alkisg> First, press alt+ctrl+f1 to switch to vt1, and kill mate-screensaver, and see if that was the dialog you were seeing for auth,
[11:21] <alkisg> if so, file a bug report against mate-screensaver then...
[11:22] <alkisg> I've seen mate-screensaver fail a lot of times, for different reasons
[11:22] <alkisg> Some times it just doesn't accept any password as valid
[11:22] <alkisg> Others, it doesn't even show the text box to enter the password
[11:23] <alkisg> And others, it doesn't even display a dialog at all, just the wall paper
[11:23] <alkisg> In all those cases I have to login to vt1 and manuall kill mate-screensaver
[11:26] <sund0wn_alt> sorry, I accidentally disconnected. using alt+ctrl+f1 I tried kill mate-screensaver. but it doesn't accept my password.
[11:27] <sund0wn_alt> and also didn't prompt me to press the key
[11:27] <alkisg> sund0wn_alt: you killed mate-screensaver, and it was something else that prompted for password?
[11:27] <alkisg> If you kill mate-screensaver and still get a prompt, then that's not mate-screensaver
[11:27] <alkisg> It might be lightdm
[11:27] <alkisg> Screenshot?
[11:28] <sund0wn_alt> ok, q quick questions how do I get back to the UI from alt-ctrl-f1? and how to take a screenshot of the terminal?
[11:28] <alkisg> alt+ctrl+f7
[11:28] <alkisg> (or f8 if you switch users etc)
[11:28] <alkisg> a mobile phone?
[11:29] <alkisg> it's more difficult to get the screenshot from vt1
[11:29] <sund0wn_alt> ok, one minute
[11:29] <alkisg> You need to find/export display and xauthority
[11:39] <sund0wn_alt> ok I killed mate-screensaver from mate terminal. suspended and woke and the ui came right up. no prompt at all. if I switch to alt+ctrl+f1 I can't do anything whatever I run prompts for a password waits a second and then fails. I read somewhere (unfortunately I can't find it now) that this is the normal behavior if the key isn't present or pressed in time. I't almost like it knows the rule is there, but doesn't challenge the key and
[11:39] <sund0wn_alt> fails. still working on a screenshot, but there isn't much to see. just the command I typed and a login prompt and then login incorrect".
[11:45] <sund0wn_alt> could it have something to do with the auth rule being in common-auth? I read somewhere else (been trying to get this to work for a while) That you shoudl add the auth rule to all the relevant files in /etc/pam.d/ (sudo, login, mate-screensaver) but adding it to common auth worked for login, sudo (in mate terminal) and switching users and it's imported in most of the other files.
[11:57] <sund0wn_alt> alkisg, thanks for the help. I've got to get back to work.
[11:58] <alkisg> sund0wn_alt: oh, I didn't realize you were still chatting
[11:59] <alkisg> I didn't see an answer for 10 minutes and stopped watching the channel
[12:03] <mate|57650> help me to download youtube videos via terminal on ubuntu 16.04 lts
[12:03] <mate|57650> please
[12:23] <sixwheeledbeast> I believe there's a youtube downloader in boutique
[12:24] <mate|57650> ok
[12:24] <mate|57650> thank you... much

[19:32] <Guest30155> Alguien puede ayudar con la instalación de Pixum, una alternativa a los fotoálbunes Hofmann?
[19:36] <ouroumov> !es | Guest30155
[19:52] <dankles> Greetings Team, I have a quick question: Is mate 1.18 (or mate 2) going to support hidpi?
[19:52] <dankles> some of the applications work on hidpi already thanks to gtk3, but I'm asking about the desktop as a whole
[19:57] <Guest30155> Anyone to help with the installation of Pixum, a propietary software alternative to Hofmann?. After the installation process, and the laucher created at the desktop, the program does not run.
[20:01] <alkisg> FerranMB: does this run via wine? is it a setup.exe, or a setup.deb?
[20:03] <alkisg> dankles: hidpi progress is briefly mentioned here: https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-yakkety-progress-update/
[20:05] <dankles> alkisg: thanks for the link. I was looking at some of the other mate blog posts, but not the right one apparently.
[20:13] <FerranMB> alkisg: simply downloading the .tar file from the Pixum web, decompressing it and executing the perl file. After downloading lybraries, etc, and creating a launcher a double-click over it does nothing.
[20:14] <FerranMB> alkisg: I'am not running this program via wine.
[20:49] <alkisg> FerranMB: right click the launcher, see the command it runs, and run it on a terminal, to see the error messages
[22:11] <ni291187> I have a raspberry pi 2 that I want to load with mate - I think the sd card I have has raspbian or something that was installed when I received it. I am just curious whether I need to format with no partitions or format with the master boot record scheme or what in order to prepare it for the mate image.
[22:19] <ni291187> all the tutorials seem to assume the sd card is clean - I guess I am just gonna try Master Boot Record...?
[22:25] <Astro7467> ni291187: no need, if you have a standard image and using a tool like dd then it will destroy everything on the sd
[22:26] <Astro7467> when you write the image it goes to the device, not a partition
[22:27] <Astro7467> eg /dev/sdf (device) vs /dev/sdf1 (1st partition)
[22:28] <ni291187> ah, okay, cool thanks :)
