| Guest33458 | Hey, all. Running into some issues with Ubuntu-Mate. Just installed, and transfered my files from a USB drive. When I did that, not only was the file transfer painfully slow, but it seemed to hold my system hostage and caused it to almost freeze until it finished. | 07:37 |
| Guest33458 | Also, I'm running into another issue where it says my battery may be broken (which it's not). And is constantly changing the battery percentage it has | 07:37 |
| Guest33458 | I'm also wondering if there is any way to group windows by program like in Windows 10. I hate how it displays each window I have open, and the text of the windows name | 07:39 |

| vlt | Hello. I have a file that is read without any errors by "less", "libreoffice", "iconv" or Python's file.read() function. Pluma refuses to open it: "Could not open the file ... Unexpected error: Incomplete multibyte sequence in input". Any idea how to troubleshoot this? | 09:04 |
| sigurdson | Hiya! Does anyone know if the latest ubuntu released soon can be upgraded on a ubuntu-mate distro? | 10:22 |
| sixwheeledbeast | not sure I understand? | 10:25 |
| sigurdson | i just saw that ubuntu is comming with a new release.. will it be available for ubuntu-mate? | 10:28 |
| sixwheeledbeast | yes | 10:30 |
| sigurdson | allright :) | 10:31 |
| sigurdson | my terminal display *computer needs to be restarted* so i best do it :) | 10:32 |
| sixwheeledbeast | it isn't an LTS and I am not sure about RPi, but yes | 10:32 |
| sigurdson | later | 10:32 |

| mate|43810 | hi | 13:23 |
| alkisg | vlt: iconv -f utf-8 file | 13:24 |
| nemo | vlt: yeh, what alkisg said - it's invalid unicode - probably utf-8 but not necessarily | 13:24 |
| nemo | could also be utf-16 | 13:24 |
| nemo | strict unicode validation is rejecting it | 13:25 |
| nemo | obv less and python would not care | 13:25 |
| nemo | mildly surprised libreoffice said nothing | 13:25 |
| nemo | maybe they just quietly do it on stderr given how easy windows makes it to accidentally create invalid unicode | 13:25 |
| nemo | (windows uses utf-16 by default, and will blithely allow users to erase half of a surrogate pair) | 13:26 |
| nemo | https://utf8everywhere.org | 13:26 |
| nemo | vlt: his instructions would be if it is utf-8 check what "file" thinks the encoding is | 13:26 |
| nemo | Rust deals with the problem like this ☺ https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/ | 13:27 |
| nemo | (well, with the utf-16 problem, you can still generate invalid utf-8 - which is what this might be simply 'cause so much is utf-8 these days) | 13:28 |
| nemo | it's kinda like... utf-8 is more common, so invalid utf-8 is more likely, but utf-16 is easier to screw up 😉 | 13:28 |
| nemo | (just 'cause of stupid assumptions programmers make about it being fixed width) | 13:29 |
| flexiondotorg | We're live at 15:00 UTC (in ~40 mins) over at UbuntuOnAir with some final ISO testing for #ubuntu 17.10. Join us! http://ubuntuonair.com/ | 14:19 |
| chantomi | hi | 15:20 |
| nemo | bye | 15:23 |
| Pomilpetan | Good evening everyone, I am a holder of a raspberry pi3b with touch screen 7 "Internal and installed ubuntu mate. I have a problem with using the external monitor with HDMI connection. | 16:11 |
| Pomilpetan | someone can help me? | 16:16 |
| sixwheeledbeast | whats the problem | 16:33 |
| Pomilpetan | i have connect a external monitor with hdmi connection but i can't use it. the system don't see it | 17:01 |
| Pomilpetan | i see only the internal monitor. when i see the monitor setting the system tell me unknow with 800x480 of resolution (is correct for the internal display) | 17:04 |
| Pomilpetan | but i can't see the external display | 17:05 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Pomilpetan: So you only have one monitor in Monitor Prefs? | 17:26 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I can only assume it's a driver issue then. have you looked on RPi forums for this configuration? | 17:33 |
| Pomilpetan | sixwheeledbeast: yes i see only one monitor | 17:33 |
| Pomilpetan | yes. i have see but all configuration doesn't work | 17:34 |
| sixwheeledbeast | checked /boot/config.txt settings? | 17:35 |
| Pomilpetan | i have used that configuration: | 17:38 |
| Pomilpetan | hdmi_safe=0 | 17:38 |
| Pomilpetan | hdmi_force_hotplug=1 | 17:38 |
| Pomilpetan | hdmi_drive=2 | 17:38 |
| Pomilpetan | hdmi_group=2 | 17:39 |
| Pomilpetan | hdmi_mode=16(setting the external monitor with 1024x768 but i have also proved with =1 (VGA)) | 17:39 |
| sigurdson | Hiya! I have made a partition ext4 on another disk that i want to use for some files, but i cannot copy anything in there? Is it the filesystem perhaps? | 18:55 |
| sigurdson | hmm i made it fat32 and that works.. | 18:57 |
| sigurdson | But now some of the files will not copy | 18:58 |
| sigurdson | What file system should i use? Ext3? I am a bit lost here.. can someone help | 18:59 |
| nemo | sigurdson: well. it depends | 19:17 |
| nemo | sigurdson: what do you want to use the partition for? | 19:17 |
| nemo | sigurdson: and, the most obvious reason you had copy problems would be permissions | 19:17 |
| nemo | fat32 has no permissions... | 19:17 |
| nemo | sigurdson: if you'd made it ext4 and set the permissions on it to that of the user you probably would have been fine | 19:18 |
| nemo | sigurdson: apart from that, the main reason people use fat32 is 'cause it is the lowest common denominator that works basically anywhere | 19:18 |
| sigurdson | allright | 19:19 |
| sigurdson | nemo, but when i set it to ext4 i cannot copy files to it for some reason | 19:19 |
| nemo | sigurdson: as noted, most likely your brand new partition was owned by root | 19:19 |
| nemo | sigurdson: and you were trying to copy as, oh, sigurdson | 19:19 |
| nemo | sudo chown -R sigurdson:sigurdson /path/to/my/new/partition | 19:20 |
| sigurdson | nemo, how to set the permissions? | 19:20 |
| nemo | or use your gui tool of choice | 19:20 |
| sigurdson | like /dev/sdb? | 19:20 |
| nemo | caja can change permissions recursively for example | 19:20 |
| nemo | sigurdson: uh. no | 19:20 |
| nemo | sigurdson: the actual mounted partition name | 19:20 |
| nemo | sigurdson: is this partition only going to be used by linux? | 19:21 |
| sigurdson | nemo, its mounted in a folder with alot of special characters? Is it just the path to this? | 19:21 |
| sigurdson | yes only linux | 19:21 |
| nemo | sigurdson: yeah. that's a mount with the disc guid in it most likely, due to it being an automount | 19:22 |
| nemo | so yes. use that | 19:22 |
| nemo | and "sigurdson:sigurdson" would be your username obviously 😉 | 19:22 |
| sigurdson | just the parent folder of this or the whole shabang? | 19:22 |
| nemo | everything up to the guid I'd say | 19:22 |
| nemo | since it is an automount, it should clean up everything under it anyway | 19:23 |
| sigurdson | Ok, its working now, thank you | 19:25 |
| JJ^4884 | hi | 21:54 |
| JJ^4884 | Does MATE support captive portals | 21:54 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Wouldn't that be down to the web browser? | 22:06 |
| mate|16019 | I know Gnome supports Captive Portals | 22:12 |
| mate|16019 | But is it in the Pipeline? | 22:12 |
| mate|16019 | I always have to use Firefox to join my University Wifi | 22:12 |
| mate|16019 | It uses Cisco AnyConnect | 22:12 |
| mate|16019 | any suggestions? | 22:15 |
| tespi | mate|16019: install network-manager-openconnect-gnome and you can connect to cisco anyconnect from the network settings | 22:19 |
| mate|16019 | ok. | 22:22 |
| mate|16019 | No matter the modules used? | 22:23 |
| mate|16019 | tespi: ^ | 22:24 |
| mate|658 | why is 6 afraid of 7 ? | 22:59 |
