[00:35] hello is anyone there? I have a question [02:02] Hi [03:36] hi I am a new linux user.. any recommendation from where to begin. [03:36] I am mostly going to use it at home [03:50] hello mate|40270 [03:51] mate|40270, first customize firefox the same way you would on windows, meaning addons uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere and Privacy Badger. [03:53] 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 [03:55] 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. [03:56] mate|40270, our forums are a good place to ask questions and get help. [05:07] Hi [05:07] I was wondering if it is a good idea to install ubuntu mate in a desktop system instead of ubuntu [05:08] what do you think [05:10] U-MATE is just Ubuntu with a different desktop environment - so the core difference is personal preference - little technical diff [05:11] so both will use the same amount ofresources [05:11] u can install Ubuntu then add the MATE DE then swap between Unity & MATE at log in [05:11] o thanks [05:12] MATE is generally a lower resource hungry environment than Unity [05:12] do you know where can I chnage the settings for scrolling the page using two fingers ? === madsa is now known as Guest84816 [05:14] AFAIK if not in the control centre, then it is touchpad and driver combo dependent [05:14] someone else may have better knowledge on here [05:16] else suggest searching the ubuntu-mate.org community [05:19] found it. it was in the control center thanks [06:58] lohi [06:58] hi [06:58] i need help with settings my boot config [06:59] on ubuntu [06:59] matre [06:59] baban: what settings? [06:59] for ubuntu mate for the raspberry pi [07:00] Ah, for config.txt? Well, ask exactly what you want and wait for a couple of hours to see if anyone answers [07:00] ok [07:28] is this a chat or a help channel? [07:44] what is the most used chat in hexchat, everywhere i look no one seems to be chatteng [07:44] chatting [07:45] duckfoot: go to #ubuntu-offtopic [07:46] is that in freenode [07:46] Yes, you just type /join #ubuntu-offtopic === atte_ is now known as Guest85537 [17:16] hey [17:21] Hey [17:34] Hi swift110 , I'm what used to be SonikkuAmerica :) [17:35] good Menzador how are you? [17:35] Fine [17:36] I see you literally everywhere. What's your PC setup? [17:36] Sometimes I wonder if you combine MATE and XFCE [17:53] good Menzador [17:53] Menzador: I have several laptops === mortalius__ is now known as mortalius [19:40] 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? [19:41] and if my config file is empty, how am I running Ubuntu MATE right now? [19:48] abybody here? [19:48] im having trouble [19:48] for some reason on my PC, it shows that my Config file is empty [19:48] re you sure its empty? [19:49] honestly, no. but i opened it with about 5 different viewer and line ditor softwares [19:49] it will still work with an empty config file [19:50] it just uses defaults [19:50] okjay. is there a way to recover the config file, or should i just format my SD card and re-download MATE? [19:50] my ubuntu mate install does not have an empty config, but every line is commented so it is effectively empty [19:50] i will pastebin it for you [19:50] thanks [19:51] do you have some actual problem you are trying to fix? [19:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24066943/ [19:51] 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] make sure to save it as a unix formatted file [19:52] alright thanks [23:53] Hi folks. [23:53] How do I calibrate my monitor and change the color profile? [23:53] It says I need to go to System settings + color [23:53] but I'm using Mate, not Unity [23:53] and can't find it
