finexbeerwhen they relic the Ubuntu mat 17.04??07:49
vltHello. Our Firefox on Ubuntu MATE 16.04 didn't render background-color for select menu options. Now, w/o having touched FF 51.01.1, it does and I'm trying to find out which of the packages I installed is responsible for that. http://termbin.com/bj1f  Any idea?08:00
finexbeervlt, do you know when is redy the ubuntu 17.04?08:02
Astro7467@vlt updated or changed themes (MATE or FF)?08:11
Astro7467@finexbeer (quit?) you mean something more specific than 2017-04?08:13
vltAstro7467: No, nobody changed their themes and it suddenly works for all users.08:28
vltAstro7467: I suspect one of the recently installed packages (mplayer, ffmpeg, darktable).08:29

lhtdHey, hello, I have a problem with partition tables.09:55
lhtdI have a secondary HD of 3Tb which has a partition table GPT (I deleted all partitions, and re-created the partition table)09:56
lhtdand 3 weeks later the partition table is broken again09:56
lhtdwhy would this happen ?09:56
lhtdthis is the partition table scan:09:57
SimooonHey, on the website it says ubuntu mate 64 bit is good for 3-gb and above, and 32 bit is good for 2 gb and above? How come there is a difference, and would it be advisable to install a 32 bit system on a 64 bit comp when it only has 2 gb of RAM?10:00
Simooonforgot to write "RAM" a couple of times, but I'm sure you understand :-)10:00
lhtdhttps://pastebin.com/wn7wXr1N10:01
nomic64 bit = more address space10:02
lhtdSimooon, 64bit systems can handle more RAM, and they require a bit more for a small OS10:02
nomic= addresseable memory10:02
lhtdSimooon, if you want to install a 32 bit system in a 64 system it's doable. And could be advisable if some apps/programs you use run exclusively in 32 bit systems. Or if you don't know if your system is 32 or 64 bit10:04
lhtd+1 nomic10:05
SimooonI know how addressing works :-) Was just wondering why the recommendation for 64 bit OS was 150 % of the memory of a 32 bit system, it seems like a lot, and I really don't want to go with a 32 bit os unless I have to :-)10:05
Simooonthe comp in question is definately 64 bit, but like I said only 2 gb of ram :-(10:06
lhtdif you have more than 3Gb of RAM go for 64, else go for 32. That's the safe option.10:06
Simooonokay, I think I will look into linux lite as well before I make a decision10:07
Simooonbut thanks for all the advice10:07
lhtdtry xubuntu10:07
Simooonheard that mate was lighter than xubuntu, but that might be on the processor side rather than the memory side?10:07
lhtdthe requirements are smaller. or linux mint xfce10:07
lhtdmaybe. I have ubuntu mate at work and linux mint xfce at home10:08
lhtdsome people around have xfce. Which is one of the lightest window managers10:08
lhtdbut deep down I love mate10:08
lhtdSimooon, http://askubuntu.com/questions/333795/what-are-the-system-requirements-for-each-flavour-of-ubuntu-desktop10:09
Simooonokay, I mainly use the regular ubuntu, but this is a temporary replacement computer for my mother, so I don't want to spend money upgrading it, but at the same time, I can't go with some obscure command line only system :-P10:09
lhtdthose are not obscure command line stuff10:09
SimooonI know, I was just saying that I was looking for the lightest version that was not that :-)10:10
Simooonhave used xfce myself, but that was years ago10:10
lhtdlinux mint is more or less windows-like. the "start" button is on the same side as windows. My eldery neigbour is happy with it10:10
Simooonmy mother used regular ubuntu like me, it's just that that computer broke down...10:11
Simooonso I'm looking for something similar :-)10:11
lhtdxubuntu is more or less the same, and it's quite colorful, so GUI users feel at home10:11
Simooonbut lighter, but will probably go for xubuntu then10:11
Simooonagain thanks for the advice :-)10:11
lhtdtry them in a boot key, one or 2 days each, then ask her which she likes the most10:12
lhtdhappy re-install day mate :-)10:12
Simooonmeh, I'm taking a decision here, other wise she will just be too confused :-P10:12
lhtdwell, try them yourself then10:13
lhtdmaking the usb boot keys is quite quick10:13
Simooonjust used an hour shifting RAM back and forth between three computers, but they were unfortunately not compatible with the old comp :-(10:13
Simooonwill try xfce first :-)10:13
lhtdenjoy10:14
Simooonlinux light doesn't even have a channel :-/10:14
Simooonand thanks :-)10:15

joem86Hello everyone. Yesterday update manager upgraded my kernel to 4.8.0-44-generic. When I rebooted this morning my graphics were downgraded to software rendering, and my network interface was undetected. I rebooted and selected the previous kernel (4.8.0-42-generic) and everything seems to work as before. Did this happen to anyone else here?13:48
joem86After running update-manager again, the problem now seems to go away. I think it's because I only installed the kernel and not the kernel headers14:03
alkisgjoem86: what's the output of `dpkg -l '*linux*' | grep ^ii` ?14:15
joem86@alkisg, http://termbin.com/m81f14:21
alkisgjoem86: you do have linux-headers-generic there, so it pulls the latest headers automatically14:22
joem86cool. I'm not sure what happened yesterday then. I try not to do anything fancy with ubuntu these days. Hopefully it was just an anomaly.14:24
alkisgMaybe apt install was interrupted before it finished, and it continued next time...14:24
Artemis3joem86, that happens because some packages were updated while others didn't, when a new kernel comes not always the others do, you usually wait a bit (and make sure you use full/dist upgrade). In your case i suspect the proprietary drivers (nvidia if you use that) and firmware for the nic14:28
Artemis3or at the very least force a reinstall for nvidia so it runs dkms again etc.14:29
joem86Makes sense. I'm running an AMD A10 with the open source drivers. I figure there's a step in the upgrade manager that recompiles the driver with the latest kernel headers before instructing the user to reboot.14:32
Artemis3the kernel modules then14:37
Artemis3yes it should have been done automatically14:38
