sachinWhy does installing a new desktop environment or window manager mess up the notification daemon of ubuntu mate?08:39
sachinI tried xfce, gnome and i3-wm, they all ruined the mate default notification layout.08:40

vltHello. I have a .rar archive that works perfectly fine with unar and unrar-free. When I open it with engrampa, in around 30% of the cases I get (number_of_files + 1) times "(engrampa:6699): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strchomp: assertion 'string != NULL' failed" and the list of files shown by engrampa is empty.09:34
vltAny idea what might cause this?09:34
vlt(Ubuntu 16.04)09:35
alkisgvlt: unrelated to your question, but, I just noticed that the shutdown button doesn't appear in ltsp fat clients in ubuntu-mate 16.04. Is it the same for you too?09:41
alkisgEh, only in the classic menu. While in the advanced menu, it's displayed fine and it works fine.09:42
vltalkisg: No, it's like the opposite here ;)  We don't have fat clients, only xrdp and we do have the shutdown button. How can we remove that?09:43
alkisgIf you don't have fat then you're talking about the ldm menu, not the mate-panel menu :)09:43
alkisgAh09:43
alkisgIt's xrdp, not xfreerdp :D09:43
alkisgSo you actually have mate-panel, but running on the server via vnc...09:43
vltalkisg: Correct.09:44
alkisgOK, yeah that's unrelated to my issue :D09:44
vltIn know. But do you happen to how we can remove ours?09:44
vlt+know09:44
alkisgWith policykit09:44
* vlt imagines police kittens09:45
vltSorry :-D09:45
alkisgHehe09:45
alkisgThere's a setting there that prohibits users from shutting down the server, when other users are logged in09:45
vltI think they can't even shut down the server when they are the only one logged in. Which is exactly what I want.09:46
alkisgThere's another setting for that09:47
alkisgflexiondotorg: on a normal ubuntu-mate installation, is it possible to run mate-session with some debug flag or environment variable, so that then we see all the debug messages from the code, like: g_warning ("Could not connect to session manager: %s",09:58
alkisg...or is recompilation necessary to see those g_warning messages?09:58
flexiondotorgalkisg Good question. I don't know off the top of my head.10:02
flexiondotorgYou can also ask in #mate-dev10:02
alkisgflexiondotorg: found it; I put mate-session --debug in mate.desktop10:03
alkisgty!10:03
ordoHey there! Firstly, I really tried to find this info, but no luck - maybe I'm not that good at googling things :/10:55
ordoAnyway, back to the question: I'm using Ubuntu MATE (default setup) 16.04 and I wonder if it is possible to make windows switching (using alt+tab) to behave as it is in Unity, that is: windows are groupped by type and I can switch between windows of the same type by using alt+tilda. Right now, all windows are separate and this is really inconvinient for me.10:55
lhtdHello, I have a sort of bug with tilda. After using it for a while, the default hight and width change. So when i'm not of full-screen it will occupy more space on the screen than it did at the beginning.11:07

mate-in-mediaInstalling 16.10 mate,  after a couple hours and about 90% done, appeared to hang up. How patient should i be?17:55

xakhhello! Quick question, does anyone have a good resource on getting the PiTFT to work with the Ubuntu Pi edition for the 3B? A quick google hasn't yielded much information.22:43
xakhI like using Ubuntu, and the MATE environment, over Raspbian and their slightly modified LXDE they've taken to calling "Pixel" for some reason now, and I was just wondering if anyone had experience getting this sort of thing working.22:44
xakhalso if this is a question more for #raspberrypi or somewhere else lemme know, but last time I posted asking for help regarding Ubuntu MATE they basically all just said "If you want it to work use Raspbian lol duh"22:50
=== xakh is now known as fishbowlkraken
sixwheeledbeastIs there a reason why it doesn't just work? I don't know a lot about them23:02
sixwheeledbeastAh so looking at it they link you to an installer which installs a repo with a modified kernel to allow the TFT to work. This could be why there are no simple instructions for getting it working.23:12
sixwheeledbeastTBH neither MATE or LXDE is very touch screen friendly. They're very mouse/desktop driven.23:15
fishbowlkrakenyeah, the modified kernel just crashes the thing23:36
fishbowlkrakenalso, yeah, MATE isn't that great for touch friendliness, though I used it without much issue on the official 7" screen.23:36
fishbowlkrakenSorry, Ididn'23:37
fishbowlkrakenoops, sorry, sixwheeledbeast, I didn't see the notification you'd replied. Apparently Raspbian has support for the screen in its latest release, but I'm not sure what I specifically need to port over to get the thing running on Ubuntu.23:38
fishbowlkrakenAlso, I plan on using an old Xbox chatpad I picked up for cheap as a keyboard with the system, so the touchscreen would be secondary, but I'm trying to do one incredibly dumb thing at a time, haha.23:42
