cstaffords | Who is online? I am really new to Ubuntu MATE, and I could use some help. | 12:06 |

cikal | hi community.. today i has try install mate on my old machine "hp compaq presario c500", i get trouble with wifi. | 12:10 |
cikal | yes @cstaffords | 12:11 |
cstaffords | I guess you're new too? | 12:11 |
cikal | :) | 12:11 |
cstaffords | I just started with ubuntu MATE for the first time a few days ago. | 12:12 |
cstaffords | Dop you know how to run OpenJDK? | 12:12 |
cikal | i choose migrate from windows, and try some linux distro. last day im start with lubuntu, and today try mate | 12:12 |
cstaffords | Mate or Ubuntu MATE? | 12:13 |
cikal | Ubuntu Mate | 12:13 |
cstaffords | So, 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 |
cikal | great 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 detect | 12:16 |
cstaffords | reboot 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 |
cikal | thanks, i'll try it. | 12:18 |
cstaffords | :) | 12:19 |
cikal | what raspberry pi version you have? | 12:19 |
cstaffords | RPi 3 Model B | 12:20 |
cikal | new version | 12:20 |
cstaffords | newset | 12:20 |
cstaffords | *Newest | 12:20 |
cikal | :) | 12:20 |
cstaffords | :) | 12:21 |
cikal | thanks for the tips, i must restart this old machine. i'll be back soon.. :) | 12:22 |
cstaffords | ok | 12:22 |
sixwheeledbeast^ | do you have OpenJDK installed? | 12:28 |
cstaffords | yes | 12:29 |
cikal_ | @cstaffords i has restart it, but 0 result.. :( | 12:30 |
cstaffords | ohhhh. is wifi on? | 12:30 |
cikal_ | no | 12:30 |
cikal_ | event i pressed the button, notting happen.. | 12:31 |
cstaffords | hmmm. 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 Dell | 12:34 |
cikal_ | i has try it using b43-fwcutter but no result | 12:35 |
sixwheeledbeast^ | did you run the installer too? | 12:37 |
KTrad | is it a broadcom chipset? | 12:38 |
sixwheeledbeast^ | A quick search says BCM4311 can you confirm? | 12:39 |
cikal_ | yes, i'll try it | 12:40 |
cikal_ | my connection going poor | 12:41 |
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 |
cikal | still stuck on wifi | 13:41 |
cikal | hard to fix it | 13:42 |
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 going | 14:10 |
Jack_Sparrow__ | fw= | 14:11 |
Jack_Sparrow__ | b43-fwcutter | 14:12 |
Menzador | And by remove, we mean [ sudo modprobe -r $NECESSARY_DRIVERS ] | 14:17 |

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-fwcutter | 14:21 |
sixwheeledbeast^ | The default drivers where fine for ethernet but wifi would not work, on these devices. | 14:23 |
Kenzo | hey all, | 15:07 |
Kenzo | does 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 synaptic | 15:08 |

live | Hi 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 start | 16:21 |
ouroumov_ | hi live | 16:23 |
live | hi ouromumov | 16:23 |
ouroumov_ | live, can I assume due to your username that you are booted into the live session? | 16:24 |
live | yes I am already in the live session | 16:24 |
live | I am at the end of my knowledge, tried a lot but I hope there is still a way to recover data | 16:24 |
ouroumov_ | try sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 16:24 |
live | I have win10 on sda4 | 16:24 |
live | the ntfs partions are still recognized in gparted | 16:25 |
live | but the linux one is not | 16:25 |
ouroumov_ | hm | 16:25 |
live | win10 apparently completely nuked the partition | 16:25 |
live | sorry i meant i have win10 on sda1, 2, and 3 | 16:25 |
ouroumov_ | well in that case if your partition is gone your only option would be using recovery software | 16:26 |
ouroumov_ | But just so you know, this is not fun | 16:26 |
live | is there a way i could try booting into windows | 16:26 |
live | the ntfs partitions are still recognized as such when i ran gparted | 16:26 |
live | but i dont know how i can get win10 to start as grub is in rescue mode upon boot | 16:27 |
ouroumov_ | and where's the data you care about? In the windows partitions? | 16:27 |
live | most important data is in the win10 partitions | 16:27 |
live | if i could get win10 to load, that would be a tremendous help | 16:27 |
ouroumov_ | in that case, <ouroumov_> try sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 16:27 |
live | sudo grub-install /dev/sda4 or sudo grub-install /dev/sda | 16:28 |
ouroumov_ | /sda | 16:28 |
live | Installing for i386-pc platform. | 16:29 |
live | WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to device scanning. | 16:29 |

live | grub-install: error: disk `lvm/live-rw' not found. | 16:29 |
live | this is the error message I get | 16:29 |
ouroumov_ | Hmm, see this: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1347375 | 16:31 |
live | strange, whats LVM.. | 16:33 |
live | i dont even know I had this on my laptop | 16:33 |
ouroumov_ | alternatively in the live session you should have a tool called "boot repair", you could try that first | 16:34 |
live | should I just follow these commands or do I need to modify them | 16:34 |
live | if the commands on from the forums are fine, I will try these first... | 16:34 |
ouroumov_ | I don't know if they're fine | 16:36 |
ouroumov_ | I've never been in your situation | 16:36 |
ouroumov_ | However, I've used boot-repair before | 16:36 |
ouroumov_ | It doesn't break stuff | 16:36 |
live | there 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 |
live | thanks ouroumov_ I read up on this a bit more, will be around here on IRC | 16:39 |
live | I wonder how this happened, I just remember running a regular win10 update and suddenly this happened | 16:40 |
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/7942 | 16:41 |
live | ah shit | 16:41 |

Ceadda | Occasionally 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 Ceadda | 19:07 |
ouroumov_ | Ceadda, your screen model has nothing to do with the display driver | 19:07 |
ouroumov_ | check the output of inxi -G | 19:07 |
Ceadda | Hang on... trying now | 19:07 |
Ceadda | Ok coming up with NVIDIA C61, Display Server X.Org 1.19.3, drivers nouveau | 19:08 |
ouroumov_ | So maybe you should try to use the proprietary nvidia driver instead | 19:09 |
Ceadda | Right - seems to me I was trying to get that nvidia driver on another platform. | 19:10 |
Ceadda | You search for that under "Additional Software" right? Or more direct way? | 19:10 |
Ceadda | Forgive my relatively novice approach to Ubuntu/linux | 19:10 |
ouroumov_ | Software & update settings -> additional drivers | 19:13 |
Ceadda | sorry - important phone call | 19:14 |
Ceadda | Back - ouroumov, still there? | 19:27 |
Ceadda | ouromov - sorry for delay, had to speak with the "GOVERNMENT" - trying to solve a different type of problem. | 19:29 |
ouroumov_ | Ceadda, yeah, np | 19:30 |
Ceadda | I'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 on | 19:30 |
Ceadda | Hanging... 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 failed | 19:32 |
ouroumov_ | See lah7's post here: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/nvidia-issue-nvidia-settings/3254/3?u=ouroumov | 19:33 |
Ceadda | Thanks... | 19:33 |
Jack_Sparrow__ | Use graphic-drivers ppa and install nvidia-381 nvidia-prime nvidia-prime-applet | 19:34 |
Ceadda | Ok Jack and ouromov - going the ppa route. I'll check back in... | 19:35 |
Jack_Sparrow__ | microcode then reboot if i rem | 19:38 |
mate|6138 | Hi, could use some assistance getting mate onto microSD | 19:42 |
mate|6138 | Did the DL for raspberry PI, used 7 zip to unzip the 3 files | 19:42 |
mate|6138 | when using win32diskimage, I copied the .img file (not the other two) to the SD drive. IT asked to format and I said yest to FAT32 | 19:43 |
mate|6138 | Did I miss somethiong? | 19:43 |
mate|6138 | Anyone? | 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|6138 | I just browsed to the img file and selected the usb, then hit the WRITE button | 19:47 |
Jack_Sparrow__ | did it leave a .img file on the chip | 19:47 |
mate|6138 | can't tell from windows because windows says the care needs to be formatted when I plug the USB back in. | 19:48 |
mate|6138 | Should 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 iso | 19:49 |
ouroumov_ | mate|6138, hang on a sec | 19:50 |
ouroumov_ | mate|6138, did you download the image from ubuntu-mate.org ? | 19:50 |
mate|6138 | I'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-mate | 19:50 |
mate|6138 | YES, d/l from ubuntu-mate | 19:51 |
mate|6138 | Just 20 mins ago. | 19:51 |
ouroumov_ | mate|6138, the website says to use ddrescue | 19:52 |
ouroumov_ | oh, right you're on windows | 19:53 |
mate|6138 | actually, the D/L was from bytemark, one of their suggested D/L partners. Yes on Windows | 19:53 |
ouroumov_ | well sorry I don't know about win32diskimager either | 19:54 |
Jack_Sparrow__ | mintstick .. | 19:54 |
Jack_Sparrow__ | http://www.askvg.com/ultimate-collection-of-best-freeware-to-create-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-windows-and-linux/ | 19:55 |
mate|6138 | Will try using RUFUS. I know that has worked for me in the past. | 19:55 |
Ceadda | ouroumov_ I am at NVIDIA version 304.135, thanks for your help | 19:58 |
Ceadda | Jack_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 chipdry | 19:59 |
Jack_Sparrow__ | set | 19:59 |
ouroumov_ | NVIDIA C61 | 20:00 |
Jack_Sparrow__ | tx | 20:00 |
Ceadda | tx both | 20:00 |
Ceadda | By the way - if the raster breakage happens, is there a way to recover other than rebooting? | 20:01 |
Ceadda | I wondered if I can "function key" out of the graphics, reset something and restart it. | 20:02 |
Jack_Sparrow__ | load noveau or something | 20:03 |
Ceadda | With screen garbled I first have to get out of graphics into command-line mode, if that's possible | 20:04 |
Ceadda | Ctrl-Function key? | 20:05 |
Ceadda | Anyway - all done, thanks again. | 20:06 |

johnSmith | what is a good alternative to ubuntu software center? | 21:09 |
=== moondoggy_ is now known as moondoggy | ||
rthornton | Interesting 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 |
rthornton | its strange because Fedora XFCE runs beautifully as a VM on top of Ubuntu | 23:39 |
johnSmith | odd | 23:39 |
johnSmith | any idea why? | 23:40 |
rthornton | I am using Ubuntu Mate 17.04 now on a fully supported Dell Inspiron 3655 with 16 GB of main memory, 1 Terabyte HD | 23:40 |
rthornton | I think the AMD video driver is not as fully functional as its Windows counterpart | 23:40 |
rthornton | although this particular Dell is listed as 100% compatible by Ubuntu and is a great box for $300 | 23:41 |
johnSmith | I mean there are so many posiblities, but its probably a bug with cinaanmon | 23:41 |
johnSmith | cinnamon | 23:41 |
rthornton | I agree with you John | 23:41 |
rthornton | I m just playing with Fedora - I find it less interesting than Ubuntu all around, but its fun to look at others | 23:42 |
johnSmith | alternatively it could also be a bug with the drivers, or both cinnamon and the drivers at the same time | 23:42 |
johnSmith | or your hardware | 23:42 |
johnSmith | might want to tell the cinnamon devs thouhg | 23:43 |
johnSmith | though | 23:43 |
rthornton | I 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 mode | 23:44 |
rthornton | others on the VMware forums have complained of this since Fedora 20 | 23:44 |
rthornton | so its an older bug, | 23:44 |
rthornton | on a more positive note, Ubuntu Mate 17.04 is really good | 23:45 |
rthornton | Best OS I have used on a PC | 23:46 |
cikal | morning all, can somebody tell me how to install LAMPP on this os. | 23:51 |
