[17:05] <Runferurlife> hello everyone
[17:05] <deskwizard> o/
[17:05] <Runferurlife> lots of ppl in here
[17:05] <Runferurlife> that is cool
[17:05] <Runferurlife> new to linux.. downloaded fresh install of MATE
[17:06] <Runferurlife> if it works well with this laptop I am going to create a server with some old hardware I have
[17:06] <ouroumov> Hi Runferurlife
[17:07] <Runferurlife> hello ouroumov
[17:07] <ouroumov> Runferurlife, just so you know, there's a lot of people connected to this channel indeed, but there's a lot less people actually in front of their computer.
[17:07] <Runferurlife> yes.. that will probably be me
[17:07] <ouroumov> ^^
[17:07] <Runferurlife> how long have you been a Linux user?
[17:07] <Runferurlife> you an expert?
[17:08] <ouroumov> I've been a Linux user for about 7 years, and I would say I'm an advanced user, but I wouldn't go so far as to call myself an "expert"
[17:09] <Runferurlife> do you know much about s?
[17:09] <Runferurlife> *STEAM installs on mate
[17:10] <ouroumov> No, I'm not a gamer, but you should be able to install that from the software boutique.
[17:10] <Runferurlife> I tried to install from the software boutique
[17:11] <Runferurlife> it opened and updated fine the first time until it was finished and then closed out
[17:11] <Runferurlife> I rebooted
[17:11] <Runferurlife> now when I try to open it
[17:11] <Runferurlife> it just opens for about a half a second and then closes
[17:11] <ouroumov> Hm
[17:12] <ouroumov> Did you update the boutique itself before installing steam?
[17:12] <Runferurlife> It was doing the same thing on a normal Ubuntu install but then read that it comes with MATE boutique so I thought it would run better on this
[17:12] <sixwheeledbeast> Steam is fine
[17:12] <Runferurlife> I did do a system update
[17:13] <Runferurlife> and updated the OS and software before any other installs
[17:13] <ouroumov> The boutique is updated through a third party repository, maintained by the Ubuntu MATE team
[17:13] <ouroumov> If it's up to date, it should read "set to retrieve the latest software listings"
[17:14] <ouroumov> (bottom pane, on top of the version number)
[17:14] <deskwizard> fine here too, dont recall if I installed with the ubuntu package from repository though
[17:15] <sixwheeledbeast> I believe I installed it fine through the boutique
[17:15] <ouroumov> What versions of Ubuntu MATE are you using? sixwheeledbeast, Runferurlife and deskwizard ?
[17:15] <Runferurlife> I am using 16.04 LTS
[17:15] <sixwheeledbeast> 17.04
[17:16] <deskwizard> 16.04 LTS as well
[17:16] <deskwizard> yeah I didnt use the package from repository, theres a steam package in my download folder
[17:17] <Runferurlife> There is something I didn't do
[17:17] <Runferurlife> and that was update my graphics card... but that shouldn't stop STEAM from booting up
[17:18] <sixwheeledbeast> Is there a Steam Icon on the panel?
[17:20] <sixwheeledbeast> Also check it's not updating in the background with top?
[17:25] <Runferurlife> checking
[17:26] <Runferurlife> no steam icon anywhere but the app on the desktop
[17:31] <Kyros> is there a way to configure which screen new windows appear on?
