=== jrybicki is now known as mookiller [01:10] does mate comes with a c compiler? [01:36] yes, gcc [01:37] ^ capum321 [01:37] guess it doesn't. cause i just installed it [01:38] Astro7467: do you copy? [11:27] Hi, I would need to know if with ubuntu-mate for raspberry pi 3 you can install the same programs as on a common computer [11:32] Or if it depends on ARM architecture [11:35] nazareno, 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. [11:37] crankypuss: ok, thanks! [12:56] Hello :) === led2 is now known as led1 [13:27] hello hetii === john is now known as Guest65332 === john is now known as Guest41128 [15:45] Does ubuntu mate support MTP ? [19:31] i 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] straggling to figure out how to change password, help please [19:32] ozcurious, sudo passwd yourusername [19:32] one sec [19:34] i have 16.04 lts [19:35] aconitum, this seems to be the right thing, but maybe a bit advanced https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM#LightDM_displaying_in_wrong_monitor [19:35] worked like a charm! thanks much Akuli) [19:37] aconitum: I tried setting up a lightdm.conf for that, but wasn't successful; so what did the trick was creating a xorg.conf [19:37] alkisg, https://xkcd.com/963/ [19:38] aconitum: this is the xorg.conf that I used; if you want, use google translate on that post... [19:38] Akuli: haha, I hadn't seen that one :D [19:38] Too true! [19:38] http://alkisg.mysch.gr/steki/index.php?topic=5220.msg79699#msg79699 [19:41] Btw, 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] alkisg, i have /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf I guess that is a file I need [19:43] aconitum: so what I said is, don't bother with lightdm [19:44] If you want to try it, ask Akuli :) [19:44] My tries there didn't bear any fruit... [19:44] And xorg.conf worked fine for everything, lightdm, all desktop environments etc [19:44] i know nothing, i just googled and found the wiki page :) [19:45] alkisg, so I just add xorg.conf to /etc/lightdm/ ? [19:47] or to /etc/X11 ? [19:48] at least not /etc/lightdm, i'm not sure if it goes to /etc/X11 or somewhere else [19:57] Akuli, ok, made that file; now fingers crossed [19:57] alright :) do you know how to log in if the gui doesn't load? [19:58] press ctrl+alt+f1, you'll end up with a terminal-only login screen, ctrl+alt+f7 or f8 to get back [19:59] Akuli, tnx for advice [20:13] Akuli, that xorg.conf didn't do the job :( [20:13] what did you put there? [20:14] i guess xrandr should show you which screen id you need to use [20:14] instead of alkisg's DP-1 and HDMI-1 [20:16] i put this: http://alkisg.mysch.gr/steki/index.php?topic=5220.msg79699#msg79699 [20:21] i think you need to replace DP-1 with your monitor's id [20:21] alkisg probably knows more [20:23] xandr: https://pastebin.com/uKsjbugL [20:23] xrandr: https://pastebin.com/uKsjbugL [20:25] any idea which of these is which? [20:26] replace alkisg's DP-1 and HDMI-1 with VGA-0 and LVDS-0 [20:31] replaced, but it didn't help [20:34] i think he replaced them the wrong way [20:34] anyway he quit lol :) [20:36] Whoops [20:36] Yeah he needed to replace them as you said [20:38] welcome bacl aconitum :) [20:39] Akuli, replaced as you advised and it helped :) Thanks! [20:39] great! :D [20:39] no I only have my system font a bit smaller ;) [20:39] *now [20:40] i'm pretty sure there's a gui setting thing for that [20:40] if you mean the font that the login window uses [20:41] no, not login window; even HexChat's menus have smaller font [20:43] solved [20:44] Akuli: 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? [20:45] i had do terminate and rebuild [20:46] no idea what's going on with that, what do you mean terminate and rebuild? [20:47] well, it's a new free Ubuntu desktop anywhere [20:47] and it comes with public uid and password [20:48] so 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 myself [20:48] ozcurious, are you running from a usb stick or did you already install it? also what do you mean terminate and rebuild? [20:49] i am running from AWS E2C or something [20:49] so i just created a new instance in replacement of the first new [20:52] new instance of what [20:52] if virtual aws cloud desktop i guess [20:52] *a [20:52] i have no idea what that is [20:53] do you want to login and check it out? [20:53] not really [20:53] and maybe you manage to change the password) [20:53] hmm sure why not [20:56] it's 35.166.65.120 dauser/pass1234, try to change and reboot and please email me to let me know if it worked for you and what the new one is at oz@topekq.com [20:57] i have to lget out as i am in it now, the only way to get online from work, except for the phone [20:57] ok? [20:58] is this ssh? [20:58] i think simple RDP would work, not sure of ssh, probably not [20:58] whats rdp [20:58] like which port do i connect to with what program [20:59] remote desktop connect? [20:59] how do i do it [20:59] should i run ipconfig to see the port? [20:59] i don't care, which program do i use to connect?! [21:00] i have RDP on windows, that i use [21:00] ok [21:00] not sure how to figure the port..., probably default, i haven't changed anything [21:00] logging off [21:02] Hi guys, is there a simple way to install win7 over ubuntu or kinda dual boot? like.. an idiot safe way? :D [21:02] jacky, i can try my best tomorrow, don't have time right now [21:02] ah no prob, have to work the weekend anyway :) i just realized ubuntu wont play the win 7 cd :D [21:02] maybe about 4 hours earlier than its now? [21:02] haha :D [21:03] it's a bit harder than you might think [21:03] first we need to make ubuntu smaller to give room to it [21:03] then we'll install windows 7 [21:03] then we'll make ubuntu boot too [21:03] i have to kinda make ntfs space i guess [21:03] empty space is enough, windows can make the ntfs [21:03] well if it needs time, imma ask somewhen else i think :D [21:08] yeah sure [21:29] hiya folks, wondering if somebody could help me out with a chromium issue on a fresh arm install [21:29] every page shows the aw snap error! [23:14] hey all
