=== ivanatianap is now known as IvanaTaina [05:24] yo sup people [11:51] charlotte? [12:05] Hello? [12:06] Who is online? I am really new to Ubuntu MATE, and I could use some help. [12:10] @cikal, are you still online? I could use your help. [12:10] hi community.. today i has try install mate on my old machine "hp compaq presario c500", i get trouble with wifi. [12:11] yes @cstaffords [12:11] I guess you're new too? [12:11] :) [12:12] I just started with ubuntu MATE for the first time a few days ago. [12:12] Dop you know how to run OpenJDK? [12:12] i choose migrate from windows, and try some linux distro. last day im start with lubuntu, and today try mate [12:13] Mate or Ubuntu MATE? [12:13] Ubuntu Mate [12:15] So, are you trying to put it on to put ubuntu mate on your compaq, or replace windows or ordinary ubuntu with ubuntu mate? [12:16] 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 [12:17] 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. [12:18] thanks, i'll try it. [12:19] :) [12:19] what raspberry pi version you have? [12:20] RPi 3 Model B [12:20] new version [12:20] newset [12:20] *Newest [12:20] :) [12:21] :) [12:22] thanks for the tips, i must restart this old machine. i'll be back soon.. :) [12:22] ok [12:28] do you have OpenJDK installed? [12:29] yes [12:30] @cstaffords i has restart it, but 0 result.. :( [12:30] ohhhh. is wifi on? [12:30] no [12:31] event i pressed the button, notting happen.. [12:31] hmmm. Press. "Print Screen" and upload the screenshot to Cubeupload.com then, send me the image. I am (Somewhat) good with computers. [12:33] Some laptops can have proprietary drivers for wifi and can be awkward. do you know what model you have? [12:34] b43-installer for broadcom was the one I needed for my Dell [12:35] i has try it using b43-fwcutter but no result [12:37] did you run the installer too? [12:38] is it a broadcom chipset? [12:39] A quick search says BCM4311 can you confirm? [12:40] yes, i'll try it [12:41] my connection going poor [12:41] sorry for late repply..:) [12:44] Should be a simple sudo apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-b43-installer then run though the installer to setup. [13:41] still stuck on wifi [13:42] hard to fix it [14:09] 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. [14:10] I thought it was cutter something to get those going [14:11] fw= [14:12] b43-fwcutter [14:17] And by remove, we mean [ sudo modprobe -r $NECESSARY_DRIVERS ] [14:18] :join [14:19] salut [14:19] ca ca [14:19] fwcutter was installed already if I read correctly [14:19] !fr | endergamer2001 [14:19] endergamer2001: Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [14:21] 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 [14:23] The default drivers where fine for ethernet but wifi would not work, on these devices. [15:07] hey all, [15:08] 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 [15:59] 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 [16:02] Kenzo, can you show me link that you cant get?

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

[16:29] this is the error message I get [16:31] Hmm, see this: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1347375 [16:33] strange, whats LVM.. [16:33] i dont even know I had this on my laptop [16:34] alternatively in the live session you should have a tool called "boot repair", you could try that first [16:34] should I just follow these commands or do I need to modify them [16:34] if the commands on from the forums are fine, I will try these first... [16:36] I don't know if they're fine [16:36] I've never been in your situation [16:36] However, I've used boot-repair before [16:36] It doesn't break stuff [16:37] there is no other way to get past grub rescue? [16:38] Not that I know of, you've welcome to wait for input from an expert, or ask on our community forums. [16:39] thanks ouroumov_ I read up on this a bit more, will be around here on IRC [16:40] I wonder how this happened, I just remember running a regular win10 update and suddenly this happened [16:40] Windows 10 has been know to screw with Ubuntu partitions.

Unable to pin it to any particular action. Display driver seems right (Samsung SyncMaster 930B) [19:07] hello Ceadda [19:07] Ceadda, your screen model has nothing to do with the display driver [19:07] check the output of inxi -G [19:07] Hang on... trying now [19:08] Ok coming up with NVIDIA C61, Display Server X.Org 1.19.3, drivers nouveau [19:09] So maybe you should try to use the proprietary nvidia driver instead [19:10] Right - seems to me I was trying to get that nvidia driver on another platform. [19:10] You search for that under "Additional Software" right? Or more direct way? [19:10] Forgive my relatively novice approach to Ubuntu/linux [19:13] Software & update settings -> additional drivers [19:14] sorry - important phone call [19:27] Back - ouroumov, still there? [19:29] ouromov - sorry for delay, had to speak with the "GOVERNMENT" - trying to solve a different type of problem. [19:30] Ceadda, yeah, np [19:30] 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] hang on [19:32] 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] yeah, there's a newer driver available, maybe worth trying if last time it failed [19:33] See lah7's post here: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/nvidia-issue-nvidia-settings/3254/3?u=ouroumov [19:33] Thanks... [19:34] Use graphic-drivers ppa and install nvidia-381 nvidia-prime nvidia-prime-applet [19:35] Ok Jack and ouromov - going the ppa route. I'll check back in... [19:38] microcode then reboot if i rem [19:42] Hi, could use some assistance getting mate onto microSD [19:42] Did the DL for raspberry PI, used 7 zip to unzip the 3 files [19:43] 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] Did I miss somethiong? [19:45] Anyone? [19:45] yes.. how was img written? [19:46] im scanning this.. http://www.askvg.com/win32-disk-imager-write-any-bootable-image-to-usb-drive-in-windows/ [19:47] I just browsed to the img file and selected the usb, then hit the WRITE button [19:47] did it leave a .img file on the chip [19:48] can't tell from windows because windows says the care needs to be formatted when I plug the USB back in. [19:48] Should I reformat the USB 1st, then try this again? [19:49] I cant help you with this... [19:49] properly wrinting image should not need format.. like writing iso [19:50] mate|6138, hang on a sec [19:50] mate|6138, did you download the image from ubuntu-mate.org ? [19:50] 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 [19:51] YES, d/l from ubuntu-mate [19:51] Just 20 mins ago. [19:52] mate|6138, the website says to use ddrescue [19:53] oh, right you're on windows [19:53] actually, the D/L was from bytemark, one of their suggested D/L partners. Yes on Windows [19:54] well sorry I don't know about win32diskimager either [19:54] mintstick .. [19:55] http://www.askvg.com/ultimate-collection-of-best-freeware-to-create-bootable-usb-drive-to-install-windows-and-linux/ [19:55] Will try using RUFUS. I know that has worked for me in the past. [19:58] ouroumov_ I am at NVIDIA version 304.135, thanks for your help [19:59] 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] Ceadda, what nvidis chipdry [19:59] set [20:00] NVIDIA C61 [20:00] tx [20:00] tx both [20:01] By the way - if the raster breakage happens, is there a way to recover other than rebooting? [20:02] I wondered if I can "function key" out of the graphics, reset something and restart it. [20:03] load noveau or something [20:04] With screen garbled I first have to get out of graphics into command-line mode, if that's possible [20:05] Ctrl-Function key? [20:06] Anyway - all done, thanks again. [20:07] Ceadda, [20:07] arg [21:09] what is a good alternative to ubuntu software center? === moondoggy_ is now known as moondoggy [23:39] 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] its strange because Fedora XFCE runs beautifully as a VM on top of Ubuntu [23:39] odd [23:40] any idea why? [23:40] 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] I think the AMD video driver is not as fully functional as its Windows counterpart [23:41] although this particular Dell is listed as 100% compatible by Ubuntu and is a great box for $300 [23:41] I mean there are so many posiblities, but its probably a bug with cinaanmon [23:41] cinnamon [23:41] I agree with you John [23:42] I m just playing with Fedora - I find it less interesting than Ubuntu all around, but its fun to look at others [23:42] alternatively it could also be a bug with the drivers, or both cinnamon and the drivers at the same time [23:42] or your hardware [23:43] might want to tell the cinnamon devs thouhg [23:43] though [23:44] 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] others on the VMware forums have complained of this since Fedora 20 [23:44] so its an older bug, [23:45] on a more positive note, Ubuntu Mate 17.04 is really good [23:46] Best OS I have used on a PC [23:51] morning all, can somebody tell me how to install LAMPP on this os.
