[00:24] <Ivoah> How do I change the DNS server that my computer uses? I changed it in the Network Settings program but when rebooting it just reset it
[01:41] <moondoggy> Is there a recommended procedure to flash an SDHC for the Ras Pi (3B) to optimize performance and reduce wear on the SD?
[01:42] <moondoggy> I naively did a dd if=ubuntu____.img of=/dev/sdb bs=4M, but I wonder if I may have aligned things really badly.
[01:44] <Kyros> that's how i always do it
[01:49] <moondoggy> Kyros: good enough for me!  :)
[01:50] <moondoggy> I guess if it wears out in less than 5 years, I'll think more about it.
[01:50] <Kyros> yeah i wouldnt worry too much about it
[01:50] <moondoggy> You need a freakin' master's in computer engineering to format an SD card "correctly," all aligned and offset properly...
[01:51] <moondoggy> I would think the .img file for the Pi is somehow optimized for SD, but maybe I'm just being optimistic.
[01:51] <moondoggy> Thanks, Kyros
[03:02] <Ivoah> moondoggy: I don't think you need to worry about aligning things when writing to an SD card
[03:02] <Ivoah> what would help with wear is disabling writing timestamps on every file access
[07:33] <aus_mal> Hi, my brightness control stopped working "all of a sudden" after a reboot, does anyone know what may be the cause for this? thanks
[07:43] <bluescreen> how i can install papirus icon theme on my ubuntu mate?
[07:45] <aus_mal> bluescreen, hi, I just did so yesterday, if you google it then you'll be directed to the github page which contains instructions
[07:45] <bluescreen> have you been using papirus icon in your ubuntu mate?
[07:46] <aus_mal> using it now with Arc theme
[07:53] <bluescreen> aus_mal where are you come from?
[07:53] <bluescreen> iam from Indonesia
[07:53] <aus_mal_> well, got brightness controls to work by disabling Nvidia, though still curious as to what went wrong..
[07:54] <aus_mal_> bluescreen, apa kabar mas?
[07:55] <bluescreen> baik mas haha
[07:59] <bluescreen> saya baru install ubuntu mate seminggu ini jadi masih gagok
[07:59] <bluescreen> hahaha
[07:59] <bluescreen> apa setelah install papirus icon style harus pake unity tweak tool?
[08:00] <aus_mal_> bluescreen, i'm literally on my first day of ubuntu-mate
[08:04] <aus_mal_> bluescreen, System > Preferences > Look and Feel > Appearance.. then customize and choose Papirus under "icons"
[08:04] <aus_mal_> or you can search for Appearance using Synapse
[08:11] <bluescreen> on my icons there isn't papirus
[08:34] <bluescreen> finished install papilus on my mate
[08:34] <bluescreen> Thank you
[08:49] <Sakara> Hi folks. I'm considering installing ubuntu mate onto a laptop for my grandparents who live quite a way away.
[08:50] <Sakara> I'm worried about software updates and their inability to understand the need to install them.
[08:50] <Sakara> Is there anyway in Ubuntu Mate to have all software updates be deployed silently?
[09:00] <Sakara> got to head home. I'll pop back on when I get home. Look out for me if anyway has some ideas.
[22:49] <canuk_Pi> good afternoon all
[22:51] <vok`> Greetings and salutations.
