[01:48] <fizikz> screen blanking after a delay set in power management settings is not working for me. screen fades but then turns back on and stays on. i'm using an external monitor with a laptop running ubuntu 16.04 and MATE desktop environment. this bug report describes it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop3/+bug/1377847
[02:33] <nomic> fizikz there is a screensave in the bash shell
[02:33] <nomic> you have to disable it using xset
[02:34] <nomic> if you type xset q
[02:34] <nomic> in bash
[02:34] <nomic> you see that screen saver 'prefer blanking' is set to yes
[02:35] <nomic> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Display_Power_Management_Signaling
[02:53] <fizikz> nomic: what do i have to disable?
[02:53] <nomic> xset screen saver
[02:53] <nomic> screen blanking
[02:53] <nomic> you want to stop it balnking?
[02:53] <fizikz> i want screen blanking
[02:53] <nomic> why
[02:54] <fizikz> problem is it doesn't blank
[02:54] <nomic> it sa external monitor
[02:54] <nomic> ok
[02:54] <fizikz> what is meant by blanking? turning off the monitor?
[02:54] <nomic> go to ubuntu forums
[02:54] <nomic> why do you want it
[02:55] <fizikz> to turn off the monitor and lock the screen when i'm away for more than the "idle" amount of time
[02:55] <nomic> i generally spend a lot of time trying to get rid of that
[02:55] <fizikz> currently it starts fading the screen and locks, but turns the screen on at the end of the fading process
[02:56] <nomic> maybe because itot's a saltellite
[02:56] <nomic> xternal monitor
[02:56] <nomic> the locking only works on the main monitor
[02:56] <fizikz> well, i can understand if you want a different behavior, but it's frustrating when the behavior does not match the settings
[02:56] <fizikz> mhh the locking is working for me... but i don't remember how i got it to work
[02:57] <fizikz> lots of fiddling in dconf under power-manager and screensaver
[02:59] <fizikz> so the behavior i'm looking for is to get the effect of "xset dpms force off" when the screensaver engages and locks the screen
[03:03] <mate|22041> I can't seem to expand the size of the partitions my raspberry pi uses with Ubuntu MATE, and my max size seems stuck at 4.0 Gb even after following the instructions on the "About" Page.
[03:03] <mate|22041> Also, where is the Ubuntu MATE Welcome screen?
[03:03] <nomic> use gparted
[03:04] <nomic> to unlock partition, resize
[03:04] <nomic> you don't do it on the running system
[03:04] <nomic> take the micro-sd card out
[03:04] <nomic> put it into a pce
[03:04] <nomic> pc
[03:04] <nomic> linux
[03:04] <nomic> boot gparted (sudo gparted)
[03:04] <nomic> mate|22041
[03:04] <mate|22041> ah, my mistake. Can I use DiskManager in a PC running windows?
[03:05] <nomic> example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRLHhfHdayw
[03:05] <nomic> is simple
[03:05] <nomic> you should not have a problem
[03:05] <mate|22041> K. Thanks for the advice!
[03:05] <nomic> 26 sec onward in this vid shows you how https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRLHhfHdayw
[03:05] <nomic> mitake is to try to do it on running ysstem
[03:05] <nomic> system
[03:06] <nomic> can't resize the file system it is running on
[03:06] <nomic> ubunut mate welcome screen -- no idea what that is
[03:23] <Astro7467> nomic, they where referring to the MATE Welcome app (ubuntu-mate-welcome)
[04:08] <fizikz> where can i find the options to enable/disable on screen display of mute/unmute, volume up/down ?

[23:40] <michael_> Hello everyone..
[23:41] <michael_> I have installed Ubuntu mate on a Raspberry Pi 2 model B and i am looking for a way to use my android phone as a trackpad and keyboard
[23:42] <michael_> i have found the remotepi solution but it depends on libudev0 which for some reason i cannot install
[23:43] <michael_> do you may have any alternative?
