| Maurits | I want to change the color of the windows (default is black) in mate, but don't know how to do this | 04:20 |
| chen_ | hello | 06:37 |
| danboid | I spent all last night installing UM 17.04 on a friends laptop but it failed right at the end and didn't boot - GRUB doesn't show | 07:47 |
| danboid | There was a vague error right at the end was something like "Some packages failed to install or be removed. Install can continue but you will have to re-install these later" something like that | 07:48 |
| danboid | It didn't say which packages | 07:49 |
| danboid | It was a UEFI laptop running Win 10. I disabled secure boot first and I chose to install it alongside Windows 10 bootloader | 07:50 |
| danboid | Is a UEFI laptop | 07:50 |
| danboid | Anyone else had a similar problem? | 07:51 |
| danboid | I was watching the console as it insalled and it looked like GRUB installed without error but there was no trac of a GRUB boot meu after install | 07:52 |
| danboid | If if manually install a bootloader, I expect it will boot but thats not the point of th installer | 07:52 |
| danboid | I think this is the first time I've trie setting up dul boot with Win10 where w10 was already installed. This should work, right? | 07:54 |
| danboid | I manually resized the Windows partition to make way for a (XFS) Linux partition. Maybe it was me choosing XFS that caused it to fail? | 07:55 |
| danboid | Maybe ext4 would've worked? | 07:56 |
| alkisg | I'm not sure if grub supports xfs or not, | 07:58 |
| alkisg | but since this issue isn't related to the desktop environment that you're using, you could ask in #ubuntu where there are more users | 07:58 |
| alkisg | You can boot with a live cd and fix grub; if it boots after than, then xfs shouldn't have been an issue | 07:58 |
| alkisg | *that | 07:59 |
| danboid | alkisg, Do you think a `sudo grub-install /dev/sda` or whatever will do it? | 08:00 |
| danboid | alkisg, GRUB does defo. support XFS, I've used it for years | 08:00 |
| danboid | There may be a bug in the installer that fluffs the GRUN install if you use XFS root on UEFI? | 08:02 |
| danboid | or maybe not as GRUB SEEMED to install without error, but evidence says otherwise | 08:03 |
| alkisg | danboid: the proper way to answer that would be to pause when you saw the installer errors, and then report them, attach them etc | 08:03 |
| alkisg | Now just making speculations won't help much in solving the underlying bug | 08:03 |
| danboid | I should also mention I saw 1000's of the same error/warning during install, something about memory | 08:04 |
| alkisg | Now, booting with a live cd and running grub-install or chroot'ing to the installation and dpkg-reconfiguring should help, yes | 08:04 |
| alkisg | If you have hardware issues, that would also explain errors :) | 08:04 |
| alkisg | Try running a memtest as well | 08:04 |
| danboid | When I say memory error, it was unlike any I've seen | 08:05 |
| danboid | It looked like it could be a 'feature' | 08:05 |
| alkisg | Precise messages help | 08:05 |
| danboid | "balancing memory"? | 08:05 |
| danboid | I can't remeber the eact wording | 08:05 |
| alkisg | So, now you need to actually start doing things, and report them as you see them | 08:05 |
| alkisg | OK; what's done is done | 08:05 |
| alkisg | You can either retry installing, or try to salvage the existing one | 08:06 |
| CrazyLemon | hey guys.. i'm trying to find out where do you guys have installer strings for translations | 08:06 |
| danboid | but it showed it after synaptic/dpkg or whatever 'installed' every package | 08:06 |
| alkisg | But there's no point in talking about what you remember happened | 08:06 |
| CrazyLemon | i can't find it on transifex | 08:06 |
| alkisg | CrazyLemon: by installer, you mean ubiquity, and not ubuntu welcome? | 08:07 |
| alkisg | Ubiquity is not specific to ubuntu mate, so I would expect it not to use transifex but launchpad | 08:07 |
| CrazyLemon | alkisg hmm.. thats a good point! thanks :) | 08:07 |
| alkisg | np | 08:07 |
| CrazyLemon | good point..but no luck :( ubiquity strings are translated | 08:08 |
| CrazyLemon | http://shrani.si/f/1T/133/3IdvdCrK/priprava-na-namestitev.png i'm looking for english strings in this screenshot | 08:08 |
| alkisg | CrazyLemon: can you post a screenshot of what you see that's untranslated? | 08:08 |
| alkisg | This is not specific to mate | 08:09 |
| danboid | The "memory error" was ubiquity "balancing RAM" or something, after installing almost evety package. Ring any bells? I've never seen 'buntu do that | 08:09 |
| alkisg | Are you talking about the mp3 line? | 08:09 |
| alkisg | Eh sorry the "This software..." line? | 08:09 |
| CrazyLemon | alkisg yea.this software bla bla bla | 08:09 |
| alkisg | CrazyLemon: ok, yes that would be ubiquity in launchpad then | 08:09 |
| danboid | It seems to be a new flaw/feature of ubiquity/apt/dpkg but I cant help but think it slows install down. The laptop I was installing on has 4GB RAM | 08:10 |
| alkisg | CrazyLemon: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1625567 | 08:10 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1625567 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "string without spanish translation on YY's "Preparing to install ubuntu" screen – .pot- files missing?" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 08:10 |
| alkisg | danboid: never heard of it, no. If you want to try reinstalling, pause at the point when it does that, and join irc from there. | 08:11 |
| CrazyLemon | alkisg yea its a bug.. the string has been translated for over a year now and it wasn't included in the release.. thanks for your help | 08:11 |
| alkisg | np | 08:11 |
| alkisg | Mention in the bug that it affects other languages too | 08:12 |
| Canoe | Deeply impressed by Ubuntu Mate, - I get the feeling my distro-hopping days are over, after a couple of days of tests, I'm struggling to find anything of note that's wrong with 17.04 Mate. | 12:56 |
| Canoe | Huge thanks to Popey for that initial decision to pull Mate into Ubuntu and setting this all off. | 12:57 |
| SuperEngineer | Canoe: Yuo obviously haven't worked out the major drawback with it... everytime you turn your machine off, the desktop is gone! ;-) | 13:01 |
| SuperEngineer | Fortunately it seems to recover ok (for some unknown reason) every time you turn your machine back on :-D | 13:02 |
| Canoe | That's odd.. - don't have that issue, - is it consistent on every boot for you? | 13:03 |
| Canoe | I'll give it another test on that front and check journalctl | 13:03 |
| SuperEngineer | lol | 13:04 |
| Canoe | Super that's possibly the most dad-level joke ever.. ;) | 13:23 |
| SuperEngineer | ;-) | 13:51 |
| taaem | Sorry to ask again but will there be an iso for 17.04 for the Raspberry Pi 3? | 14:10 |

| Canoe | hi! | 16:40 |
| Guest64821 | any ones knows what is the best operating system for Raspberry PI2? | 16:41 |
| Canoe | I'd say Ubuntu-Mate? More so given we're in the same channel.. :) | 16:42 |
| Guest64821 | OTHER? | 16:44 |
| Canoe | Other OS? Raspbian would be the default and a good starting point. | 16:46 |
| intisar | wow | 17:37 |
| PlainDave | Is 17.04 no longer in beta? If so, do I need to install it again? I'm currently using beta 2. | 17:50 |
| Mikelevel | no , you dont need to install again . only let update | 17:57 |
| PlainDave | do I type "let update"? | 17:59 |
| PlainDave | okay thanks | 18:05 |
| Akuli | PlainDave, i don't think that's what Mikelevel meant | 18:38 |
| Akuli | typing let update to a terminal does nothing | 18:38 |
