[02:37] hay [06:27] Hi [07:23] wzzsup mate === kevin is now known as Guest33458 [07:37] 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] 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 [07:39] 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 [07:50] 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. [09:04] 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? [10:22] Hiya! Does anyone know if the latest ubuntu released soon can be upgraded on a ubuntu-mate distro? [10:25] not sure I understand? [10:28] i just saw that ubuntu is comming with a new release.. will it be available for ubuntu-mate? [10:30] yes [10:31] allright :) [10:32] my terminal display *computer needs to be restarted* so i best do it :) [10:32] it isn't an LTS and I am not sure about RPi, but yes [10:32] later [13:23] 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? [13:23] hi [13:24] vlt: iconv -f utf-8 file [13:24] vlt: yeh, what alkisg said - it's invalid unicode - probably utf-8 but not necessarily [13:24] could also be utf-16 [13:25] strict unicode validation is rejecting it [13:25] obv less and python would not care [13:25] mildly surprised libreoffice said nothing [13:25] maybe they just quietly do it on stderr given how easy windows makes it to accidentally create invalid unicode [13:26] (windows uses utf-16 by default, and will blithely allow users to erase half of a surrogate pair) [13:26] https://utf8everywhere.org [13:26] vlt: his instructions would be if it is utf-8 check what "file" thinks the encoding is [13:27] Rust deals with the problem like this ☺ https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/ [13:28] (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] it's kinda like... utf-8 is more common, so invalid utf-8 is more likely, but utf-16 is easier to screw up 😉 [13:29] (just 'cause of stupid assumptions programmers make about it being fixed width) [14:19] 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/ [15:20] hi [15:23] bye [16:11] 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. [16:16] someone can help me? [16:33] whats the problem [17:01] i have connect a external monitor with hdmi connection but i can't use it. the system don't see it [17:04] 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) [17:05] but i can't see the external display [17:26] Pomilpetan: So you only have one monitor in Monitor Prefs? [17:33] I can only assume it's a driver issue then. have you looked on RPi forums for this configuration? [17:33] sixwheeledbeast: yes i see only one monitor [17:34] yes. i have see but all configuration doesn't work [17:35] checked /boot/config.txt settings? [17:38] i have used that configuration: [17:38] hdmi_safe=0 [17:38] hdmi_force_hotplug=1 [17:38] hdmi_drive=2 [17:39] hdmi_group=2 [17:39] hdmi_mode=16(setting the external monitor with 1024x768 but i have also proved with =1 (VGA)) [18:55] 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? [18:57] hmm i made it fat32 and that works.. [18:58] But now some of the files will not copy [18:59] What file system should i use? Ext3? I am a bit lost here.. can someone help [19:17] sigurdson: well. it depends [19:17] sigurdson: what do you want to use the partition for? [19:17] sigurdson: and, the most obvious reason you had copy problems would be permissions [19:17] fat32 has no permissions... [19:18] 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] sigurdson: apart from that, the main reason people use fat32 is 'cause it is the lowest common denominator that works basically anywhere [19:19] allright [19:19] nemo, but when i set it to ext4 i cannot copy files to it for some reason [19:19] sigurdson: as noted, most likely your brand new partition was owned by root [19:19] sigurdson: and you were trying to copy as, oh, sigurdson [19:20] sudo chown -R sigurdson:sigurdson /path/to/my/new/partition [19:20] nemo, how to set the permissions? [19:20] or use your gui tool of choice [19:20] like /dev/sdb? [19:20] caja can change permissions recursively for example [19:20] sigurdson: uh. no [19:20] sigurdson: the actual mounted partition name [19:21] sigurdson: is this partition only going to be used by linux? [19:21] nemo, its mounted in a folder with alot of special characters? Is it just the path to this? [19:21] yes only linux [19:22] sigurdson: yeah. that's a mount with the disc guid in it most likely, due to it being an automount [19:22] so yes. use that [19:22] and "sigurdson:sigurdson" would be your username obviously 😉 [19:22] just the parent folder of this or the whole shabang? [19:22] everything up to the guid I'd say [19:23] since it is an automount, it should clean up everything under it anyway [19:25] Ok, its working now, thank you [21:54] hi [21:54] Does MATE support captive portals [22:06] Wouldn't that be down to the web browser? [22:12] I know Gnome supports Captive Portals [22:12] But is it in the Pipeline? [22:12] I always have to use Firefox to join my University Wifi [22:12] It uses Cisco AnyConnect [22:15] any suggestions? [22:19] mate|16019: install network-manager-openconnect-gnome and you can connect to cisco anyconnect from the network settings [22:22] ok. [22:23] No matter the modules used? [22:24] tespi: ^ [22:59] why is 6 afraid of 7 ? [23:06] hello [23:06] quick question [23:06] hey so did you guys see the news about the WPA2 protocol? [23:06] how do you enable open ssh on ubuntu mate?
