nazarenoHi, I would need to know if with ubuntu-mate for raspberry pi 3 you can install the same programs as on a common computer11:27
nazarenoOr if it depends on ARM architecture11:32
crankypussnazareno, the install iso should be chosen based on architecture, it will set up the appropriate repo, then you install programs as usual from the repo.  i know nothing about raspberry pi.11:35
nazarenocrankypuss: ok, thanks!11:37

aconitumi have 2 displays (laptop display and external display), but have configured to use only external display. after turning on my system, login window will be displayed on my laptop display. how can I change this, so the login window will be displayed on my external display?19:31
ozcuriousstraggling to figure out how to change password, help please19:31
Akuliozcurious, sudo passwd yourusername19:32
ozcuriousone sec19:32
aconitumi have 16.04 lts19:34
Akuliaconitum, this seems to be the right thing, but maybe a bit advanced https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM#LightDM_displaying_in_wrong_monitor19:35
ozcuriousworked like a charm! thanks much Akuli)19:35
alkisgaconitum: I tried setting up a lightdm.conf for that, but wasn't successful; so what did the trick was creating a xorg.conf19:37
Akulialkisg, https://xkcd.com/963/19:37
alkisgaconitum: this is the xorg.conf that I used; if you want, use google translate on that post...19:38
alkisgAkuli: haha, I hadn't seen that one :D19:38
alkisgToo true!19:38
alkisghttp://alkisg.mysch.gr/steki/index.php?topic=5220.msg79699#msg7969919:38
alkisgBtw, I've tried both calling xrandr from lightdm.conf and generating a monitors.xml in lightdm's home dir; both didn't work in 16.04... :-/ So, xorg.conf ftw!19:41
aconitumalkisg, i have /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf I guess that is a file I need19:41
alkisgaconitum: so what I said is, don't bother with lightdm19:43
alkisgIf you want to try it, ask Akuli  :)19:44
alkisgMy tries there didn't bear any fruit...19:44
alkisgAnd xorg.conf worked fine for everything, lightdm, all desktop environments etc19:44
Akulii know nothing, i just googled and found the wiki page :)19:44
aconitumalkisg, so I just add xorg.conf to /etc/lightdm/ ?19:45
aconitumor to /etc/X11 ?19:47
Akuliat least not /etc/lightdm, i'm not sure if it goes to /etc/X11 or somewhere else19:48
aconitumAkuli, ok, made that file; now fingers crossed19:57
Akulialright :) do you know how to log in if the gui doesn't load?19:57
Akulipress ctrl+alt+f1, you'll end up with a terminal-only login screen, ctrl+alt+f7 or f8 to get back19:58
aconitumAkuli, tnx for advice19:59
aconitumAkuli, that xorg.conf didn't do the job :(20:13
Akuliwhat did you put there?20:13
Akulii guess xrandr should show you which screen id you need to use20:14
Akuliinstead of alkisg's DP-1 and HDMI-120:14
aconitumi put this: http://alkisg.mysch.gr/steki/index.php?topic=5220.msg79699#msg7969920:16
Akulii think you need to replace DP-1 with your monitor's id20:21
Akulialkisg probably knows more20:21
aconitumxandr: https://pastebin.com/uKsjbugL20:23
aconitumxrandr: https://pastebin.com/uKsjbugL20:23
Akuliany idea which of these is which?20:25
Akulireplace alkisg's DP-1 and HDMI-1 with VGA-0 and LVDS-020:26
aconitumreplaced, but it didn't help20:31
Akulii think he replaced them the wrong way20:34
Akulianyway he quit lol :)20:34
alkisgWhoops20:36
alkisgYeah he needed to replace them as you said20:36
Akuliwelcome bacl aconitum :)20:38
aconitumAkuli, replaced as you advised and it helped :) Thanks!20:39
Akuligreat! :D20:39
aconitumno I only have my system font a bit smaller ;)20:39
aconitum*now20:39
Akulii'm pretty sure there's a gui setting thing for that20:40
Akuliif you mean the font that the login window uses20:40
aconitumno, not login window; even HexChat's menus have smaller font20:41
aconitumsolved20:43
ozcuriousAkuli: after i successfully changed the password i was no longer able to login after logoff and reboot, so had to rebuild, any more guidance on that?20:44
ozcuriousi had do terminate and rebuild20:45
Akulino idea what's going on with that, what do you mean terminate and rebuild?20:46
ozcuriouswell, it's a new free Ubuntu desktop anywhere20:47
ozcuriousand it comes with public uid and password20:47
ozcuriousso i am trying to change that password so that noone can access it but me, and after i changed i can't even access it myself20:48
Akuliozcurious, are you running from a usb stick or did you already install it? also what do you mean terminate and rebuild?20:48
ozcuriousi am running from AWS E2C or something20:49
ozcuriousso i just created a new instance in replacement of the first new20:49
Akulinew instance of what20:52
ozcuriousif virtual aws cloud desktop i guess20:52
ozcurious*a20:52

Akulinot really20:53
ozcuriousand maybe you manage to change the password)20:53

jackyHi guys, is there a simple way to install win7 over ubuntu or kinda dual boot? like.. an idiot safe way? :D21:02
Akulijacky, i can try my best tomorrow, don't have time right now21:02
jackyah no prob, have to work the weekend anyway :) i just realized ubuntu wont play the win 7 cd :D21:02
Akulimaybe about 4 hours earlier than its now?21:02
jackyhaha :D21:02
Akuliit's a bit harder than you might think21:03
Akulifirst we need to make ubuntu smaller to give room to it21:03
Akulithen we'll install windows 721:03
Akulithen we'll make ubuntu boot too21:03
jackyi have to kinda make ntfs space i guess21:03
Akuliempty space is enough, windows can make the ntfs21:03
