| Stanley | Hello having issues installing Ubuntu mate seems to hang at boot logo might be GPU related? | 06:41 |

| stumate | hello | 13:46 |
| infide1castr0 | messed around with Linux Mint for a while, excited to try out the new Ubuntu Mate, downloading the image right now, so quite new... what do you guys think is so great about it? | 14:18 |
| ouroumov | You mean, compared to Linux Mint? | 14:19 |
| infide1castr0 | oh I just meant in general haha, just wanted to hear some community opinion about it, get a conversation going | 14:19 |
| ouroumov | infide1castr0, we have an extensive repository of opinions that you can read here: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/why-do-you-use-linux-and-why-did-you-choose-ubuntu-mate/12572 | 14:20 |
| deskwizard | the wallpapers are really cool. | 14:20 |
| deskwizard | lol :P | 14:20 |
| ouroumov | I like them too. ^^ | 14:21 |
| infide1castr0 | well certainly a lot of reading there, haha thanks mate | 14:21 |
| ouroumov | yw | 14:22 |
| infide1castr0 | and I am a fan of cool wallpapers)) | 14:22 |
| infide1castr0 | but, @ouroumov did you have any certain opinions on UbuntuMATE v Mint? | 14:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | As an old timer I like Mint Mate because of the single bottom menu and lots of tools where I expect to find them | 14:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | I was a user of 98 and XP and have always had a single bottom menu . I found KDE too klunky but in all honesty I have not given it serious consideration in years | 14:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | I quit Ubuntu over Unity | 14:31 |
| infide1castr0 | interesting, what brought you over here to ubutntu mate? | 14:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | I wanted to see how it goes with Mate development over here. I can add my mint menu if I really find I like what I am seeing | 14:33 |
| infide1castr0 | that is interesting, when I messed around with Mint I was using Cinnamon, so I am new to mate in general | 14:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | Then you need to at least look at Mint-Mate | 14:34 |
| infide1castr0 | I am quite amateur, so I am only recently learning about mate really, you think mint is a better start over this ubuntu one? | 14:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | The beauty of testing live usb.. try a lot of them | 14:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | Setup partitions so you can slide a new linux in and keep your stuff | 14:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | think Ubuntu Mate is Very New and will change a lot over the next few versions | 14:41 |
| infide1castr0 | I am excited to see where this new ubuntu mate goes, I liked ubuntu when I first read about it, and tried it out before I settled for Linux Mint | 14:42 |
| infide1castr0 | I will have to look into that idea you mentioned of bringing the mint bar into ubuntu | 14:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | It wont be that easy and you would mix some repos that should not be ixed | 14:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | mixed | 14:44 |
| infide1castr0 | well then I will take that slower haha, I have a lot to learn, that is for certain | 14:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | I would suggest Mint Mate over Ubntu Mate if only for the current level of support. spotchat.. | 14:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | INstall a few live linux releases on a handful of flash drives and go explore. | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | Distrowatch.com is fun | 14:47 |
| ubuntu__ | ur dumb | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | Yes Duffus.. Did you have a point | 14:47 |
| ubuntu__ | No not really | 14:48 |
| ouroumov | <Jack_Sparrow__> think Ubuntu Mate is Very New and will change a lot over the next few versions -> Yes, but the changes shouldn't impact the workflow | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | I have high hopes for it.. | 15:06 |

| Guest79445 | ubuntu mate won't shut down it starts right back up when i try to shutdown. | 15:07 |
| Guest79445 | bye | 15:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | Love to see his source list. | 15:11 |
| tony_ | Strange behavior with Darktable -- when installed it takes over my Places menu. The first five items launch Darktable instead of going where they are supposed to. Any ideas? | 21:06 |
| bcracer5 | i just started using 16.04 Mate, my system keeps loking up while running google Chrome | 21:10 |
| bcracer5 | *locking | 21:10 |
| vlt | tony_: Never expirienced that behaviour on several Ubuntu MATE machines. | 21:10 |
| bcracer5 | any advice? | 21:10 |
| bcracer5 | i have been running ubuntu for 7 years | 21:11 |
| tony_ | Whatever Darktable is doing to my system, it's repeatable. I un-installed it, the menus went back to normal. Re-installed it and they malfunctioned again. | 21:15 |
| vlt | tony_: Worked for me on 12.04, 14.04 and 16.04; haven | 21:18 |
| vlt | ’t tried anything newer. | 21:18 |
| jimmy_ | anyone suggest a good FPS game for linux | 21:21 |
| tony_ | A solution, of sorts. I installed an updated Darktable. Now the Places menu is gone entirely. | 22:13 |
| tony_ | I don't think I'll miss it. | 22:14 |
| thedabbler | Hello. | 22:57 |
| thedabbler | Is there a way I can reset my fonts back to normal on Ubuntu MATE? | 22:57 |
