[08:39] <sachin> Why does installing a new desktop environment or window manager mess up the notification daemon of ubuntu mate?
[08:40] <sachin> I tried xfce, gnome and i3-wm, they all ruined the mate default notification layout.
[09:22] <desas> hello
[09:34] <vlt> Hello. 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] <vlt> Any idea what might cause this?
[09:35] <vlt> (Ubuntu 16.04)
[09:41] <alkisg> vlt: 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?
[09:42] <alkisg> Eh, only in the classic menu. While in the advanced menu, it's displayed fine and it works fine.
[09:43] <vlt> alkisg: 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] <alkisg> If you don't have fat then you're talking about the ldm menu, not the mate-panel menu :)
[09:43] <alkisg> Ah
[09:43] <alkisg> It's xrdp, not xfreerdp :D
[09:43] <alkisg> So you actually have mate-panel, but running on the server via vnc...
[09:44] <vlt> alkisg: Correct.
[09:44] <alkisg> OK, yeah that's unrelated to my issue :D
[09:44] <vlt> In know. But do you happen to how we can remove ours?
[09:44] <vlt> +know
[09:44] <alkisg> With policykit
[09:45]  * vlt imagines police kittens
[09:45] <vlt> Sorry :-D
[09:45] <alkisg> Hehe
[09:45] <alkisg> There's a setting there that prohibits users from shutting down the server, when other users are logged in
[09:46] <vlt> I think they can't even shut down the server when they are the only one logged in. Which is exactly what I want.
[09:47] <alkisg> There's another setting for that
[09:58] <alkisg> flexiondotorg: 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?
[10:02] <flexiondotorg> alkisg Good question. I don't know off the top of my head.
[10:02] <flexiondotorg> You can also ask in #mate-dev
[10:03] <alkisg> flexiondotorg: found it; I put mate-session --debug in mate.desktop
[10:03] <alkisg> ty!
[10:55] <ordo> Hey there! Firstly, I really tried to find this info, but no luck - maybe I'm not that good at googling things :/
[10:55] <ordo> Anyway, 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.
[11:07] <lhtd> Hello, 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.
[13:19] <ordo> (tumbleweed) :)
[17:55] <mate-in-media> Installing 16.10 mate,  after a couple hours and about 90% done, appeared to hang up. How patient should i be?
[21:03] <Slown> Hey guys
[21:03] <Slown> what's going un with the latest updates ?
[21:03] <Slown> it's really a mess
[21:06] <Slown> hey guys please
[21:10] <lmike> Slown: what latest updates?
[21:11] <Slown> the latest kernel I mean
[21:11] <Slown> 4.8.0-42
[21:11] <lmike> I've also upgraded to 4.8
[21:12] <lmike> but I see no issues...
[21:12] <Slown> the updates from today I mean
[21:13] <lmike> well, I got 4.8.0-42 a couple of days ago
[21:13] <lmike> so far so good
[22:43] <xakh> hello! 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.
[22:44] <xakh> I 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.
[22:50] <xakh> also 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"
=== xakh is now known as fishbowlkraken
[23:02] <sixwheeledbeast> Is there a reason why it doesn't just work? I don't know a lot about them
[23:12] <sixwheeledbeast> Ah 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.
[23:15] <sixwheeledbeast> TBH neither MATE or LXDE is very touch screen friendly. They're very mouse/desktop driven.
[23:36] <fishbowlkraken> yeah, the modified kernel just crashes the thing
[23:36] <fishbowlkraken> also, yeah, MATE isn't that great for touch friendliness, though I used it without much issue on the official 7" screen.
[23:37] <fishbowlkraken> Sorry, Ididn'
[23:38] <fishbowlkraken> oops, 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.
[23:42] <fishbowlkraken> Also, 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.
