| Sweetlew | Hey, guys, I need some quick help, like REALLY QUICK. I just tried to reboot after an update, and now my desktop icons aren't appearing. I've already tried searching google, and that hasn't helped out one damn bit. | 00:16 |
|---|---|---|
| Sweetlew | BlueRavenGT: Can you help me? | 00:20 |
| Sweetlew | Can anybody help me? | 00:42 |
| Sweetlew | Ok, guys, I'm still dealing with disappearing desktop icons here. I need somebody to please help me with this issue ASAP (preferably right now, if anybody can see this). | 00:58 |
| Sweetlew | BlueRavenGT or Jack_Sparrow, can either of you please help me? | 00:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Sweetlew, I have that in my notes, mate or ? | 01:01 |
| Sweetlew | Jack_Sparrow: I'm using Ubuntu Mate 17.04 right now. | 01:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I want to say it was mate-panel --reset from command line | 01:03 |
| Sweetlew | Jack_Sparrow: Do I need to restart after that? | 01:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I thought so.. | 01:05 |
| Sweetlew | Because, for right now, nothing has changed after running it. | 01:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Id have to boot a livecd to test it.. | 01:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Im not messing up my panel to ck it | 01:06 |
| Sweetlew | Well, it's just my desktop icons that are missing/hidden. Stuff on the panel is working well. | 01:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Please Read, https://git.io/v1qUo & share the link output here. Or | 01:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | inxi -Fxxrzc0 | pastebin in a terminal & share the link output here | 01:08 |
| Sweetlew | pastebin: command not found | 01:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | You need to install inxi | 01:10 |
| Sweetlew | Inxi is already installed. | 01:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | do it manually .. | 01:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pastebin | 01:11 |
| Sweetlew | Same thing... | 01:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | copy and paste to any of the pastebin type sites.. but I need to go now anyhow | 01:13 |
| Sweetlew | Jack_Sparrow: Ok. But I really need to get this fixed tonight. | 01:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Have you added PPA's to get apps off the web ? | 01:15 |
| Sweetlew | Yes. | 01:16 |
| Sweetlew | https://pastebin.com/2r0fQz9D | 01:17 |
| Sweetlew | Jack_Sparrow: Are you still there? | 01:20 |
| Sweetlew | I can't be left hanging here. | 01:20 |
| Sweetlew | Can anybody please look at the pastebin link I posted above, and tell me what the damn hell is going on with my desktop icons? | 01:23 |
| Sweetlew | Anybody? ANYBODY AT ALL? | 01:29 |

| Astro7467 | sweetlew: make sure desktop icons hasn't be turned off in MATE tweak in the control panel | 01:47 |
| Astro7467 | the contents of your desktop is kept in ~/Desktop folder | 01:48 |
| sweetlew | Astro7467: I already tried that. | 01:50 |
| sweetlew | I can see them just fine in the ~/Desktop folder, but not on the damn main display. | 01:52 |
| sweetlew | Astro7467: Are you there? | 01:55 |
| Astro7467 | have you checked the settings in MATE tweak? | 01:56 |
| sweetlew | Astro7467: Yes. | 01:58 |
| sweetlew | Would installing another DE help? | 01:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sudo apt-get install mint-meta-mate | 01:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=206&t=182605 | 01:59 |
| sweetlew | Unable to locate package mint-meta-mate. | 02:01 |
| Astro7467 | per link, does doing alt-f2 and 'caja - n' restore your icons? | 02:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I have it as default | 02:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Yes caja is involved | 02:03 |
| sweetlew | I have pcmanfm-qt installed, as caja was acting buggy on me. | 02:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sweetlew, thats how the icons got screwed up | 02:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | too many ppa for me to want to try and untangle it | 02:08 |
| sweetlew | Jack_Sparrow: Well, they were there when Caja started acting all buggy. So, I thought I'd give pcmanfm-qt a whirl. | 02:11 |
| sweetlew | So, do you want me to go back to Caja, and see if that solves it? | 02:12 |
| Astro7467 | check this out ; https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/missing-desktop-icons/2660/3 | 02:15 |
| Sweetlew | Somebody mentioned to me in #jupiterbroadcasting about going into~/.config and restting stuff. But, where would I go about resetting stuff for my desktop icons? | 02:39 |

| AaronDarron | wassup | 20:21 |
| ouroumov_ | Hi AaronDarron | 20:22 |
| AaronDarron | I have a question | 20:23 |
| ouroumov_ | shoot | 20:23 |
| AaronDarron | anyone has raspberry pi | 20:23 |
| ouroumov_ | Some here do, not me personally | 20:23 |
| AaronDarron | ok guess wont have the problem of partition | 20:24 |
| ouroumov_ | What specific problem is that? | 20:24 |
| ouroumov_ | We've got a number of people with an update issue due to low space on /boot | 20:24 |
| AaronDarron | yea same here | 20:24 |
| AaronDarron | I am having that problem | 20:25 |
| ouroumov_ | hang on while I fetch a forum thread | 20:25 |
| AaronDarron | I have it here | 20:25 |
| AaronDarron | I just posted there with my opinion of letting the user resize or change partition to their own liking | 20:25 |
| AaronDarron | so they wont have the problem of update or upgrade | 20:25 |
| AaronDarron | https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/disk-space-error-boot/12386 | 20:26 |
| ouroumov_ | It'd be better for you to post the suggestion on the forum I think, in the dev category | 20:26 |
| ouroumov_ | It'll have more exposure | 20:26 |
| AaronDarron | I did | 20:27 |
| AaronDarron | hoping they would listen instead of ignore it cause people will go for another os and make ubuntu mate low rate | 20:27 |
| ouroumov_ | Well, I have attempted to raise concern for this issue myself, but since according to lah7 that's due to to a bug in software update the correct way to go about this is to have the software fixed upstream I think | 20:32 |
| AaronDarron | well instead of fixing it upstream why not just let the user partition the sd card the way they want it if a user has a 32gb and want to split the partition to 16gb each one for mmcblk0p1 and 16gb for mmcblk0p2 then that wouldn't be a problem update and upgrade the os | 20:36 |
| AaronDarron | to run perfect | 20:36 |
| ouroumov_ | Well sure, but how would we implement that? And would it be really more simple for the average user than typing two commands in the terminal? | 20:37 |
| AaronDarron | it will make it more interesting then to not let the user do what they want and need so If i want to partition the main boot I am going to do that by adding more space to it so that if there is an update file that requires 1gb then I am in the safe zone | 20:39 |
| ouroumov_ | Btw I seem to recall there's an "automatic resize" of partitions on rpi first boot, do you know what software is responsible for this? Is it ubiquity or welcome? | 20:41 |
| AaronDarron | its a welcome when first boot up it takes 5 mins then goes away | 20:41 |
| AaronDarron | I am just going to pay my friend to remove that app and to find a way to allow users to change make delete partition any time they choice too | 20:42 |
| coalbase | ihgusdg im retardedd | 21:10 |
| coalbase | gelp help help me help meeehh!!! | 21:10 |
| ouroumov_ | Hello coalbase | 22:05 |
| ouroumov_ | Something we can help you with? | 22:07 |
| AaronDarron | hmm | 22:40 |
| AaronDarron | hey ouroumov you know anything about kernel | 23:30 |
| ouroumov_ | AaronDarron, if you mean the differences between the regular desktop images and the rpi images then no | 23:32 |
| AaronDarron | well when I look it up desktop and rpi are the same with lp ppdev and parport | 23:33 |
