cikalhi community.. today i has try install mate on my old machine "hp compaq presario c500", i get trouble with wifi.12:10
cikalyes @cstaffords12:11
cstaffordsI guess you're new too?12:11
cikal:)12:11
cstaffordsI just started with ubuntu MATE for the first time a few days ago.12:12
cstaffordsDop you know how to run OpenJDK?12:12
cikali choose migrate from windows, and try some linux distro. last day im start with lubuntu, and today try mate12:12
cstaffordsMate or Ubuntu MATE?12:13
cikalUbuntu Mate12:13
cstaffordsSo, are you trying to put it on to put ubuntu mate on your compaq, or replace windows or ordinary ubuntu with ubuntu mate?12:15
cikalgreat question, i has wipe windows and replace it with linux. today im try to using ubuntu mate, but stuck on inet connection. my wifi has no detect12:16
cstaffordsreboot it. Thats what i did, because i installed it on my raspberry pi, and I had the same problem. i rebooted it, and here I am.12:17
cikalthanks, i'll try it.12:18
cstaffords:)12:19
cikalwhat raspberry pi version you have?12:19
cstaffordsRPi 3 Model B12:20
cikalnew version12:20
cstaffordsnewset12:20
cstaffords*Newest12:20
cikal:)12:20
cstaffords:)12:21
cikalthanks for the tips, i must restart this old machine. i'll be back soon.. :)12:22
cstaffordsok12:22
sixwheeledbeast^do you have OpenJDK installed?12:28
cstaffordsyes12:29
cikal_@cstaffords i has restart it, but 0 result.. :(12:30
cstaffordsohhhh. is wifi on?12:30
cikal_no12:30
cikal_event i pressed the button, notting happen..12:31
cstaffordshmmm. Press. "Print Screen" and upload the screenshot to Cubeupload.com then, send me the image. I am (Somewhat) good with computers.12:31
sixwheeledbeast^Some laptops can have proprietary drivers for wifi and can be awkward. do you know what model you have?12:33
sixwheeledbeast^b43-installer for broadcom was the one I needed for my Dell12:34
cikal_i has try it using b43-fwcutter but no result12:35
sixwheeledbeast^did you run the installer too?12:37
KTradis it a broadcom chipset?12:38
sixwheeledbeast^A quick search says BCM4311 can you confirm?12:39
cikal_yes, i'll try it12:40
cikal_my connection going poor12:41
cikal_sorry for late repply..:)12:41
sixwheeledbeast^Should be a simple  sudo apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-b43-installer  then run though the installer to setup.12:44
cikalstill stuck on wifi13:41
cikalhard to fix it13:42
sixwheeledbeast^cikal: Failing that you could try ndiswrapper. Although b43 should be fine, I would say you need to remove the default installed drivers before running the b43 installer.14:09
Jack_Sparrow__I thought it was cutter something to get those going14:10
Jack_Sparrow__fw=14:11

sixwheeledbeast^I have switched a few odd laptops over to UbuntuMATE, all Broadcom. To get it to work I normally have to remove the default open drivers then run b43- installer, which I recall pulls b43-fwcutter14:21
sixwheeledbeast^The default drivers where fine for ethernet but wifi would not work, on these devices.14:23
Kenzohey all,15:07
Kenzodoes anyone know of a fix to get channel 4 and 5 on demand working? i can't watch anything on them. all forum answers point to installing hal/hal-info that doesn't seem to be maintained or available in synaptic15:08

liveHi Ubuntu MATE community, unfortunatly I cannot boot my laptop anymore, I was dual booting with Win10 and wonder if there is anyone who could help me out, currently grub is in rescue mode when I start16:21
ouroumov_hi live16:23
livehi ouromumov16:23
ouroumov_live, can I assume due to your username that you are booted into the live session?16:24
liveyes I am already in the live session16:24
liveI am at the end of my knowledge, tried a lot but I hope there is still a way to recover data16:24
ouroumov_try sudo grub-install /dev/sda16:24
liveI have win10 on sda416:24
livethe ntfs partions are still recognized in gparted16:25
livebut the linux one is not16:25
ouroumov_hm16:25
livewin10 apparently completely nuked the partition16:25
livesorry i meant i have win10 on sda1, 2, and 316:25
ouroumov_well in that case if your partition is gone your only option would be using recovery software16:26
ouroumov_But just so you know, this is not fun16:26
liveis there a way i could try booting into windows16:26
livethe ntfs partitions are still recognized as such when i ran gparted16:26
livebut i dont know how i can get win10 to start as grub is in rescue mode upon boot16:27
ouroumov_and where's the data you care about? In the windows partitions?16:27
livemost important data is in the win10 partitions16:27
liveif i could get win10 to load, that would be a tremendous help16:27
ouroumov_in that case, <ouroumov_> try sudo grub-install /dev/sda16:27
livesudo grub-install /dev/sda4 or sudo grub-install /dev/sda16:28
ouroumov_ /sda16:28
liveInstalling for i386-pc platform.16:29
live  WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning.16:29

livegrub-install: error: disk `lvm/live-rw' not found.16:29
livethis is the error message I get16:29
ouroumov_Hmm, see this: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=134737516:31
livestrange, whats LVM..16:33
livei dont even know I had this on my laptop16:33
ouroumov_alternatively in the live session you should have a tool called "boot repair", you could try that first16:34
liveshould I just follow these commands or do I need to modify them16:34
liveif the commands on from the forums are fine, I will try these first...16:34
ouroumov_I don't know if they're fine16:36
ouroumov_I've never been in your situation16:36
ouroumov_However, I've used boot-repair before16:36
ouroumov_It doesn't break stuff16:36
livethere is no other way to get past grub rescue?16:37
ouroumov_Not that I know of, you've welcome to wait for input from an expert, or ask on our community forums.16:38
livethanks ouroumov_ I read up on this a bit more, will be around here on IRC16:39
liveI wonder how this happened, I just remember running a regular win10 update and suddenly this happened16:40
ouroumov_Windows 10 has been know to screw with Ubuntu partitions.16:40
ouroumov_live, see https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/warning-to-dual-booters-reports-that-windows-10-aniversary-update-is-killing-linux-partitions/794216:41
liveah shit16:41

CeaddaOccasionally my screen raster goes haywire - finegrained horizontal lines, impossible to recover(unless you know a trick?) other than reboot. Unable to pin it to any particular action. Display driver seems right (Samsung SyncMaster 930B)19:06
ouroumov_hello Ceadda19:07
ouroumov_Ceadda, your screen model has nothing to do with the display driver19:07
ouroumov_check the output of inxi -G19:07
CeaddaHang on... trying now19:07
CeaddaOk coming up with NVIDIA C61, Display Server X.Org 1.19.3, drivers nouveau19:08
ouroumov_So maybe you should try to use the proprietary nvidia driver instead19:09
CeaddaRight - seems to me I was trying to get that nvidia driver on another platform.19:10
CeaddaYou search for that under "Additional Software" right?  Or more direct way?19:10
CeaddaForgive my relatively novice approach to Ubuntu/linux19:10
ouroumov_Software & update settings -> additional drivers19:13
Ceaddasorry - important phone call19:14
CeaddaBack - ouroumov, still there?19:27
Ceaddaouromov - sorry for delay, had to speak with the "GOVERNMENT" - trying to solve a different type of problem.19:29
ouroumov_Ceadda, yeah, np19:30
CeaddaI'm in Additional drivers and see it was set to X.Org X server/nouveau driver.  It shows the Nvidia v304.135 driver, will go for it. Seems last time I had a hard time recovering from this.19:30
ouroumov_hang on19:30
CeaddaHanging...     for what it's worth, I worried it was hardware but this machine also runs Windows with no problem at all, so likely a driver issue.19:32
ouroumov_yeah, there's a newer driver available, maybe worth trying if last time it failed19:32
ouroumov_See lah7's post here: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/nvidia-issue-nvidia-settings/3254/3?u=ouroumov19:33
CeaddaThanks...19:33
Jack_Sparrow__Use graphic-drivers ppa and install nvidia-381 nvidia-prime nvidia-prime-applet19:34
CeaddaOk Jack and ouromov - going the ppa route.  I'll check back in...19:35
Jack_Sparrow__microcode then reboot if i rem19:38
mate|6138Hi, could use some assistance getting mate onto microSD19:42
mate|6138Did the DL for raspberry PI, used 7 zip to unzip the 3 files19:42
mate|6138when using win32diskimage, I copied the .img file (not the other two) to the SD drive.  IT asked to format and I said yest to FAT3219:43
mate|6138Did I miss somethiong?19:43
mate|6138Anyone?19:45
Jack_Sparrow__yes.. how was img written?19:45
Jack_Sparrow__im scanning this.. http://www.askvg.com/win32-disk-imager-write-any-bootable-image-to-usb-drive-in-windows/19:46
mate|6138I just browsed to the img file and selected the usb, then hit the WRITE button19:47
Jack_Sparrow__did it leave a .img file on the chip19:47
mate|6138can't tell from windows because windows says the care needs to be formatted when I plug the USB back in.19:48
mate|6138Should I reformat the USB 1st, then try this again?19:48
Jack_Sparrow__I cant help you with this...19:49
Jack_Sparrow__properly wrinting image should not need format.. like writing iso19:49
ouroumov_mate|6138, hang on a sec19:50
ouroumov_mate|6138, did you download the image from ubuntu-mate.org ?19:50
mate|6138I've never used win32diskimage in the past.  Always used RUFUS for this type of thing, but figured it best to follow the directons on ubuntu-mate19:50
mate|6138YES, d/l from ubuntu-mate19:51
mate|6138Just 20 mins ago.19:51
ouroumov_mate|6138, the website says to use ddrescue19:52
ouroumov_oh, right you're on windows19:53
mate|6138actually, the D/L was from bytemark, one of their suggested D/L partners.   Yes on Windows19:53
ouroumov_well sorry I don't know about win32diskimager either19:54

Jack_Sparrow__http://www.askvg.com/ultimate-collection-of-best-freeware-to-create-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-windows-and-linux/19:55
mate|6138Will try using RUFUS.  I know that has worked for me in the past.19:55
Ceaddaouroumov_   I am at NVIDIA version 304.135, thanks for your help19:58
CeaddaJack_Sparrow   I tried the "ppa" approach you recommended, and got the same nvidia version 304.135 that was provided under "additional drivers."   I believe I'm all set, will have to see if display raster problem reappears, seemed very random.19:59
Jack_Sparrow__Ceadda, what nvidis chipdry19:59

CeaddaBy the way - if the raster breakage happens, is there a way to recover other than rebooting?20:01
CeaddaI wondered if I can "function key" out of the graphics, reset something and restart it.20:02
Jack_Sparrow__load noveau or something20:03
CeaddaWith screen garbled I first have to get out of graphics into command-line mode, if that's possible20:04

rthorntonInteresting bug with both VMware & VirtualBox with Ubuntu as host;  Fedora Cinnamon as a guest always wants to run in a rendering mode.  This is the only virtual machine OS I have tried which does this;  if Windows is the host, then it doesn't happen;  I guess its the video drivers, ?  why is the GL support more limited?23:39
rthorntonits strange because Fedora XFCE runs beautifully as a VM on top of Ubuntu23:39
johnSmithodd23:39
johnSmithany idea why?23:40
rthorntonI am using Ubuntu Mate 17.04 now on a fully supported Dell Inspiron 3655 with 16 GB of main memory, 1 Terabyte HD23:40
rthorntonI think the AMD video driver is not as fully functional as its Windows counterpart23:40
rthorntonalthough this particular Dell is listed as 100% compatible by Ubuntu and is a great box for $30023:41
johnSmithI mean there are so many posiblities, but its probably a bug with cinaanmon23:41
johnSmithcinnamon23:41
rthorntonI agree with you John23:41
rthorntonI m just playing with Fedora - I find it less interesting than Ubuntu all around, but its fun to look at others23:42
johnSmithalternatively it could also be a bug with the drivers, or both cinnamon and the drivers at the same time23:42
johnSmithor your hardware23:42
johnSmithmight want to tell the cinnamon devs thouhg23:43
johnSmiththough23:43
rthorntonI never tried this box as a Windows box; I kept a Win 10 reinstall thumb drive, and I have tested this on several windows machines with Cinnamon running as desired, not in the rendering mode23:44
rthorntonothers on the VMware forums have complained of this since Fedora 2023:44
rthorntonso its an older bug,23:44
rthorntonon a more positive note, Ubuntu Mate 17.04 is really good23:45
rthorntonBest OS I have used on a PC23:46
cikalmorning all, can somebody tell me how to install LAMPP on this os.23:51
