[06:43] <drhe|skt_> hi. what display manager is ubuntu mate based off
[06:44] <alkisg> drhe|skt_: ubuntu-mate is using lightdm
[06:44] <alkisg> No desktop environment is "based off" a display manager, it's just one application that they use
[06:45] <drhe|skt_> how should i have worde the question?
[06:45] <drhe|skt_> worded
[06:45] <drhe|skt_> okay i see
[06:46] <drhe|skt_> desktop environment, is what i should have asked about
[06:46] <alkisg> The desktop environment is mate
[06:46] <alkisg> The display manager is lightdm
[06:46] <alkisg> Display manager is the login screen
[06:47] <drhe|skt_> okay i see.
[06:47] <drhe|skt_> i should have asked what display manager is ubuntu mate using
[06:47] <alkisg> Yup, and the answer there would be "lightdm"
[06:50] <drhe|skt_> im thinking of using it on this chromebook. acer c710. ubuntu mate seems to boot the usb fine. my original plan was to use galliumos, but it is not booting for whatever reason
[06:50] <drhe|skt_> is ubuntu mate used mostly on non chromebooks?
[06:51] <alkisg> I'd believe so, since most people don't have chromebooks anyway :)
[06:51] <alkisg> Why would the display manager matter to you?
[06:53] <drhe|skt_> i was curious as it did not look like the same as galliumos. it looked more like the ubuntu gnome of years ago
[06:56] <alkisg> Display manager is the screen that is displayed *before* you login
[06:56] <alkisg> If you mean the window title and the buttons etc, that's called "window manager"
[08:29] <tim_> hello room, first try in linux - everything runs in ubuntu mate - but i am not able to install VIRTUALBOX.... pls give me a hint
[08:44] <alkisg> tim_: sudo apt install virtualbox
[08:45] <tim_> moment, Iĺl try...
[08:47] <tim_> thank you - it says, that i already have the newest version - but theres no icon in the menus to start virtualbox
[08:51] <alkisg> It should be in the accessories menu
[08:52] <alkisg> To run it from the console, run: VirtualBox
[08:52] <alkisg> (or lowercase virtualbox)
[08:54] <tim_> ok, it runs from the terminal - but theres no icon in accessoires menu. THANK YOU!!!! THUMBS UP. I ask Google "how to create a shortcut" in the menu. THANKS! !!!!!
[08:55] <alkisg> tim_: not really, you shouldn't do that
[08:56] <alkisg> What's the output of this command? apt policy virtualbox | nc termbin.com 9999
[08:57] <alkisg> Better yet, this command: apt policy virtualbox* | nc termbin.com 9999
[08:57] <alkisg> This one has a star there
[08:59] <tim_> http://termbin.com/7f51
[09:00] <alkisg> tim_: ls /usr/share/applications/*virtual*.desktop
[09:00] <alkisg> Does this show a file there?
[09:01] <alkisg> http://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/i386/virtualbox-qt/filelist says that you are supposed to have this file: /usr/share/applications/virtualbox.desktop
[09:01] <alkisg> And this file is the menu item
[09:01] <alkisg> tim_: what's the output of this command? cat /usr/share/applications/virtualbox.desktop | nc termbin.com 9999
[09:02] <tim_> http://termbin.com/7a0b
[09:03] <tim_> theres no icon on the desktop... aber ls /usr/share......
[09:07] <tim_> ok, i found it in /usr/share/applications/virtualbox.desktop - i try to logoff and logon - or i copy the shortcut to my desktop. THANK YOUR FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

[12:08] <bobe> TaZeR, it probably will, just give it a try
[12:10] <deskwizard_> TaZeR: considering I'm saying this running mate on a old amd triple core POS, I think you'll be fine ;)
[12:11] <TaZeR> ok thanks =)
[12:11] <deskwizard_> np, have fun :)

[12:48] <sixwheeledbeast> I have it running fine on a few old two core laptops, it's pretty light. Only issues I would imagine will be if you have hardware with closed drivers.
[12:58] <leo_> Hello, is possible use docky in Mate?

[21:55] <Some1Else> Hi! I have a little question for you guys... you know the overlay that appears when you press volume or mute controls... how hard is it to do something similar? Just a general direction to head to would be greatly appreciated
[21:56] <Some1Else> my google-fu is clearly not up to the task hehehe
[22:06] <mate|32357> buonasera...qualcuno italiano?
[23:56] <tdtre53rtw> if the error message to close, the message to send will be sent or just closed?
