[00:16] <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.
[00:20] <Sweetlew> BlueRavenGT: Can you help me?
[00:42] <Sweetlew> Can anybody help me?
[00:58] <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).
[00:59] <Sweetlew> BlueRavenGT or Jack_Sparrow, can either of you please help me?
[01:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Sweetlew,  I have that in my notes,   mate or ?
[01:02] <Sweetlew> Jack_Sparrow: I'm using Ubuntu Mate 17.04 right now.
[01:03] <Jack_Sparrow> I want to say it was mate-panel --reset  from command line
[01:04] <Sweetlew> Jack_Sparrow: Do I need to restart after that?
[01:05] <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..
[01:06] <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.
[01:08] <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
[01:09] <Sweetlew> pastebin: command not found
[01:10] <Jack_Sparrow> You need to install inxi
[01:10] <Sweetlew> Inxi is already installed.
[01:11] <Jack_Sparrow> do it manually ..
[01:11] <Jack_Sparrow> pastebin
[01:12] <Sweetlew> Same thing...
[01:13] <Jack_Sparrow> copy and paste to any of the pastebin type sites.. but I need to go now anyhow
[01:14] <Sweetlew> Jack_Sparrow: Ok. But I really need to get this fixed tonight.
[01:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Have you added PPA's to get apps off the web ?
[01:16] <Sweetlew> Yes.
[01:17] <Sweetlew> https://pastebin.com/2r0fQz9D
[01:20] <Sweetlew> Jack_Sparrow: Are you still there?
[01:20] <Sweetlew> I can't be left hanging here.
[01:23] <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?
[01:29] <Sweetlew> Anybody? ANYBODY AT ALL?
[01:43] <sweetlew> Jack_Sparrow: Are you here?
[01:46] <sweetlew> Or, anybody else, for that matter?
[01:47] <Astro7467> sweetlew: make sure desktop icons hasn't be turned off in MATE tweak in the control panel
[01:48] <Astro7467> the contents of your desktop is kept in ~/Desktop folder
[01:50] <sweetlew> Astro7467: I already tried that.
[01:52] <sweetlew> I can see them just fine in the ~/Desktop folder, but not on the damn main display.
[01:55] <sweetlew> Astro7467: Are you there?
[01:56] <Astro7467> have you checked the settings in MATE tweak?
[01:58] <sweetlew> Astro7467: Yes.
[01:58] <sweetlew> Would installing another DE help?
[01:59] <Jack_Sparrow> sudo apt-get install mint-meta-mate
[01:59] <Jack_Sparrow> https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=206&t=182605
[02:01] <sweetlew> Unable to locate package mint-meta-mate.
[02:03] <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
[02:07] <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
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> too many ppa for me to want to try and untangle it
[02:11] <sweetlew> Jack_Sparrow: Well, they were there when Caja started acting all buggy. So, I thought I'd give pcmanfm-qt a whirl.
[02:12] <sweetlew> So, do you want me to go back to Caja, and see if that solves it?
[02:15] <Astro7467> check this out ; https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/missing-desktop-icons/2660/3
[02:39] <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?
[06:38] <ismail_> hi
[11:52] <genival_marty> i need help
[11:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Need to ask a question.. eh
[12:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !find xampp
[16:19] <sage__> hola. tengo un problema con mi portatil y ubuntu mate.
[16:19] <sage__> hello. i have a problem with my laptop and ubuntu mate.
[16:19] <sage__> is this room for english or spanish?
[18:10] <Jack_Sparrow> I speak english
[20:21] <AaronDarron> wassup
[20:22] <ouroumov_> Hi AaronDarron
[20:23] <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
[20:24] <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
[20:25] <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
[20:26] <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
[20:27] <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
[20:32] <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
[20:36] <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
[20:37] <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?
[20:39] <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
[20:41] <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
[20:42] <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
[21:10] <coalbase> ihgusdg  im retardedd
[21:10] <coalbase> gelp help help me help meeehh!!!
[22:05] <ouroumov_> Hello coalbase
[22:07] <ouroumov_> Something we can help you with?
[22:40] <AaronDarron> hmm
[23:30] <AaronDarron> hey ouroumov you know anything about kernel
[23:32] <ouroumov_> AaronDarron, if you mean the differences between the regular desktop images and the rpi images then no
[23:33] <AaronDarron> well when I look it up desktop and rpi are the same with lp ppdev and parport
