| cyrus_ | hello is anyone there? I have a question | 00:35 |
|---|---|---|
| mate|47120 | Hi | 02:02 |
| mate|40270 | hi I am a new linux user.. any recommendation from where to begin. | 03:36 |
| mate|40270 | I am mostly going to use it at home | 03:36 |
| ouroumov_ | hello mate|40270 | 03:50 |
| ouroumov_ | mate|40270, first customize firefox the same way you would on windows, meaning addons uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere and Privacy Badger. | 03:51 |
| ouroumov_ | mate|40270, Then I recommend you go to MATE Tweak, under Interface check "Enable Launcher" -> you'll be able to launch programs with CTRL+SPACE, then go to "Windows" and try the window manager Marco+Compton, that should deal with video tearing | 03:53 |
| ouroumov_ | mate|40270, oh right, check "retrieve lastest software listings" in the boutique, and do not install Opera, there's an active bug that'll wrek your update process if you do that. | 03:55 |
| ouroumov_ | mate|40270, our forums are a good place to ask questions and get help. | 03:56 |
| ag43 | Hi | 05:07 |
| ag43 | I was wondering if it is a good idea to install ubuntu mate in a desktop system instead of ubuntu | 05:07 |
| ag43 | what do you think | 05:08 |
| Astro7467 | U-MATE is just Ubuntu with a different desktop environment - so the core difference is personal preference - little technical diff | 05:10 |
| ag43 | so both will use the same amount ofresources | 05:11 |
| Astro7467 | u can install Ubuntu then add the MATE DE then swap between Unity & MATE at log in | 05:11 |
| ag43 | o thanks | 05:11 |
| Astro7467 | MATE is generally a lower resource hungry environment than Unity | 05:12 |
| ag43 | do you know where can I chnage the settings for scrolling the page using two fingers ? | 05:12 |

| Astro7467 | AFAIK if not in the control centre, then it is touchpad and driver combo dependent | 05:14 |
| Astro7467 | someone else may have better knowledge on here | 05:14 |
| Astro7467 | else suggest searching the ubuntu-mate.org community | 05:16 |
| ag43 | found it. it was in the control center thanks | 05:19 |

| alegitcookie | Hey, i need help. im on A raspberry pi 3 model b with Ubuntu MATE, and when i put my SD card into my Windows PC and try to open my CONFIG file, it shows nothing. why is my Config file empty? | 19:40 |
| alegitcookie | and if my config file is empty, how am I running Ubuntu MATE right now? | 19:41 |
| alegitcookie | abybody here? | 19:48 |
| alegitcookie | im having trouble | 19:48 |
| alegitcookie | for some reason on my PC, it shows that my Config file is empty | 19:48 |
| ali1234 | re you sure its empty? | 19:48 |
| alegitcookie | honestly, no. but i opened it with about 5 different viewer and line ditor softwares | 19:49 |
| ali1234 | it will still work with an empty config file | 19:49 |
| ali1234 | it just uses defaults | 19:50 |
| alegitcookie | okjay. is there a way to recover the config file, or should i just format my SD card and re-download MATE? | 19:50 |
| ali1234 | my ubuntu mate install does not have an empty config, but every line is commented so it is effectively empty | 19:50 |
| ali1234 | i will pastebin it for you | 19:50 |
| alegitcookie | thanks | 19:50 |
| ali1234 | do you have some actual problem you are trying to fix? | 19:51 |
| ali1234 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/24066943/ | 19:51 |
| alegitcookie | this is the prblem. because i was not sure if it was a bad thing that the config file was empty. after all, it is the systems configuration file | 19:51 |
| ali1234 | make sure to save it as a unix formatted file | 19:51 |
| alegitcookie | alright thanks | 19:52 |
| KenLL | Hi folks. | 23:53 |
| KenLL | How do I calibrate my monitor and change the color profile? | 23:53 |
| KenLL | It says I need to go to System settings + color | 23:53 |

| KenLL | and can't find it | 23:53 |
