| ubuntumateuser | Hi all, what kind of a chat room is this? | 01:42 |
| ubuntumateuser | Is it for help with the OS, or more of a cafe chat? | 01:43 |
| TimApple | It's everything you just said | 02:27 |
| TimApple | Not a lot of traffic though | 02:27 |
| TimApple | Better to reach out for help on the forums.. https://ubuntu-mate.community/ | 02:27 |

| m4t | hi, i just switched to compton using mate-tweak. was using marco software compositing before. i noticed that alt-tab just shows app icons instead of previews. is this a limitation of using a separate compositor, or is there a workaround? | 05:48 |
| ali1234 | its a limitation of a separate compositor | 06:15 |
| ali1234 | alt tab is rendered by window manager, and if it isn't also the compositor it can't know what windows look like | 06:15 |

| m4t | thanks | 06:28 |
| umut | hi bros | 06:49 |
| umut | sa türk var mı | 06:49 |
| m4t | hrm | 07:04 |
| * m4t tried mutter | 07:04 | |
| m4t | it "works" but i guess it's not very tightly integrated | 07:05 |
| Gallomimia | running ubuntu mate 16.04 on a gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 board. having trouble with bios options like ehci and iommu. whole system won't boot | 08:22 |
| diogenes_ | Gallomimia, boot with acpi=off option | 08:28 |
| Gallomimia | is that a grub option? | 08:30 |
| diogenes_ | yes | 08:30 |
| Gallomimia | finding where to put that has been elusive. i'm challenged by the fact that the system won't boot now to update it in permanent fashion | 08:31 |
| diogenes_ | GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi=off" | 08:31 |
| Gallomimia | yeah. that's in a place i can't access right now | 08:31 |
| diogenes_ | is the system installed? or you just booting from usb? | 08:31 |
| Gallomimia | installed | 08:31 |
| Gallomimia | booting is not a thing that is happening. | 08:32 |
| Gallomimia | booting "from" something is irrelevant. grub does load from the main drive tho | 08:32 |
| diogenes_ | then grab a usb drive and boot into live session | 08:32 |
| diogenes_ | and tehre you can change | 08:32 |
| Gallomimia | looking at 10-15 mins to reflash the drive i think | 08:37 |
| Gallomimia | didn't seem to boot the first time | 08:37 |
| Gallomimia | or even recognize the usb | 08:37 |
| diogenes_ | do you see the usb when you press f9 or esc or f12 or whaever your motherboard action key is? | 08:38 |
| diogenes_ | the boot menu option? | 08:39 |
| Gallomimia | i see two entries for "ubuntu" which i think are both the main drive | 08:39 |
| Gallomimia | boots to a grub promt | 08:40 |
| diogenes_ | I mean the installation media? how did you install the system? via DVD? USB? | 08:41 |
| Gallomimia | the usb drive i'm reflashing right now | 08:41 |
| Gallomimia | didn't recognize it tho | 08:41 |
| m4t | i came across this https://github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd | 08:42 |
| diogenes_ | switch your pc off completely, even pull out the ac cable, then insert the usb and boot into bios, see if the usb is recognized there and make is the primary boot option | 08:42 |
| m4t | it'd need to be run on session start and then a hotkey would need to run the command that "activates" it | 08:42 |
| Gallomimia | oo | 08:42 |
| m4t | but the window previews work :) | 08:42 |
| m4t | there's also https://github.com/jotrk/x-choyce | 08:49 |
| m4t | didn't try it yet tho | 08:49 |
| Gallomimia | fek i wish i could just figure out how to work with a grub prompt | 08:53 |
| diogenes_ | Gallomimia, Im my case I have a multiboot usb which uses grub to hande different kinds of bootable isos and you can add any grub options for every iso separately, in that case if there's acpi conflict for any of the iso, I just add acpi=off for that particular brub meny entry and it boots with no issues | 08:56 |
| diogenes_ | handle* | 08:56 |
| Gallomimia | i've got one that had a full install done on it | 08:56 |
| m4t | lol actually x:choyce doesn't work. it compiles, but when you run it and hit super+tab, xorg just freezes and something (i didn't check what) starts maxing out a core to 100%. had to switch to vt to kill it | 09:01 |
| Gallomimia | got the ubuntu mate liveUSB to boot on this system... | 09:46 |
| Gallomimia | now. i gotta fix some grub. and the initrd | 09:46 |
| Iarla | I'm running Ubuntu Mate on a Pi3. I can't hear any audio via HDMI. I've tried both raspi-config and the manual command sudo amixer cset numid=3 2 | 11:58 |
| Iarla | Any ideas what the issue might be? The device itself plays audio fine via HDMI for other input devices. | 11:58 |
| === Iarla2 is now known as Iarla | ||
| sixwheeledbeast | larla: is sound output set to hdmi? | 12:50 |
| sixwheeledbeast | System > Prefs > Hardware > Sound > Output | 12:52 |
| Iarla | sixwheeledbeast: I haven't checked that, no. Thanks, I'll take a look and let you know :) | 13:39 |
| Iarla | There is no output option there for HDMI. Only analog. | 13:40 |
| sixwheeledbeast | https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/audio-config.md check the boot config? | 13:47 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Or maybe reboot first and if still no luck try the above. | 13:48 |
| Iarla | I tried the reboot so I'll check out that link, thanks again! | 13:53 |
| Iarla | sixwheeledbeast: editing /boot/config.txt did the trick, thanks so much! | 13:59 |
| Iarla | Note on the documentation: it might be worth updating the official doc to point to sixwheeledbeast's link for persistent audio issues. Ubuntu MATE doc: https://ubuntu-mate.org/raspberry-pi/ | 14:01 |
| mate-mait-mayt | Are there any Mate-ubuntu support options for sale? Similar to Ubuntu's advanced support options? | 15:24 |
| Iarla | pastebin.com/miT3udD5 - I'm getting this error when trying to launch Firefox on the Pi 3 since the latest updates came in (after a fresh install). Chrome is working though. Does the output look familiar to anyone? | 15:31 |
| m4t | Iarla: does firefox -safe-mode crash still? | 15:57 |
| m4t | only thing that comes to mind is something broken in the profile. you could rm -rf ~/.mozilla/firefox if that's the case. | 15:59 |
| Iarla | m4t: I have to run, but I'll try that when I get back. thank you. | 16:00 |
| abba | comment acceder à la partition windows | 16:28 |
| m4t | abba: probably ntfs-3g if you want r/w | 16:40 |
| paradis | hello i'm french | 18:10 |
| alkisg | Ubuntu announced that they drop the 32bit .iso in 17.10. Does this affect Ubuntu-mate? Will there be a 32bit17.10 mate.iso? | 18:17 |
| alkisg | Ah ok just saw the reply by iain, "other flavours are unaffected" | 18:21 |
| Akuli | i wonder how though | 18:24 |
| mate-mait-mayt | yeah that does seem a bit odd | 18:24 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I thought the plan was to slowly phase out 32bit by 18.04 LTS, it makes more sense to drop support on an LTS release IMO. | 18:31 |
| * alkisg thinks it would make most sense to drop it right after an lts release... | 19:21 | |
| alkisg | E.g. in 16.10 or in 18.10 | 19:21 |
| alkisg | But ok as long as mate ships 32bit for 18.04, everything is fine ;) | 19:21 |
| Iarla | m4t: starting in safe mode results in the same issue, as well as deleting ~/.mozilla/firefox | 20:44 |
| m4t | sorry, dunno :| | 20:50 |
| Iarla | No problem, thanks for helping rule those out anyway :) | 20:53 |
| m4t | so i've switched to compton using nvidia proprietary drivers, and i've noticed that in gedit, i'll sporadically (and when it happens, it'll happen for a while) get significant lag in pluma | 20:59 |
| m4t | like 1 second delay from hitting tab and seeing the text move over :| | 21:00 |
| sixwheeledbeast | That's what I meant regarding LTS release. | 21:00 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Iarla: what version FF? | 21:05 |
| Iarla | sixwheeledbeast: 55.0.2 | 21:11 |
| Iarla | On Ubuntu MATE on a Pi 3. | 21:12 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Use the ESR version instead I don't believe 55 is stable on Rpi | 21:12 |
| Iarla | sixwheeledbeast: great, Ill try that! | 21:24 |
| Iarla | Is that available in the botique? | 21:24 |
| sixwheeledbeast | no idea apt-get install firefox-esr? | 21:25 |
| Iarla | No and apt search doesn't find it either. It's grand, I can search around online and see what's available for Pi. | 21:29 |
| Iarla | Looks like ESR isn't for Pi www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/ | 21:37 |
| Iarla | But I can live with Chromium until I see the next FF update roll in. Might change things. | 21:38 |
| sixwheeledbeast | https://packages.debian.org/stretch/firefox-esr | 21:39 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Alternativelt remove firefox 55 and install 52 then pin it. | 21:40 |
| Iarla | Cool, thanks sixwheeledbeast. I see arm64 architecture there. I'll give it a go in the morning. If not, 52 sounds like a fine solution. | 21:43 |
| Iarla | Much appreciated. | 21:43 |
| sixwheeledbeast | np | 21:43 |
