| Sum1lson18 | Nice OS, I've just tried a Live session and will be installing or maybe wait for the next LTS ? Congratulations to the dev team anyway, well done. | 04:22 |

| basilarchia | the ubuntu-mate installer seems to keep failing to install grub correctly. (failed to get canonical path of /cow) | 12:36 |
| basilarchia | I've been installing to manually | 12:36 |
| basilarchia | maybe it's just the way I've been re-installing these laptops. Not sure. Just thought I'd mention it. | 12:36 |
| basilarchia | I'm having it pull down the updates with the install. I can try not doing that next time. | 12:37 |
| basilarchia | also, It might be better to make the /swapfile a sparse file so the installer doesn't have to sit around for a long time flushing the cache to disk | 12:58 |
| alkisg | basilarchia: if you're trying to report those issues, this is not the correct place | 12:58 |
| alkisg | The installer and the /swapfile are ubuntu components, they are not part of the mate code | 12:59 |
| alkisg | So you should be filing launchpad bugs for them | 12:59 |
| basilarchia | ah | 12:59 |
| basilarchia | I didn't notice that swapfile change in ubuntu. last I tried install it, it made a swap partition like the old ways | 13:00 |
| alkisg | E.g. for the installer: https://launchpad.net/ubiquity => click on bugs | 13:00 |
| alkisg | That was a change in ubuntu 17.10 | 13:00 |
| alkisg | And as a core change, it affects all flavours | 13:00 |
| alkisg | Now if you think you need help on the grub issue, you can provide more details | 13:01 |
| alkisg | If you think it's a bug, just report it on launchpad | 13:01 |
| basilarchia | I'll have to recreate the grub problem if I can before I report it. I zero'd the MBR and installed (without going into the live desktop) and it installed grub correctly this time | 13:14 |

| hungdv | First time use Ubuntu mate! | 18:08 |
| mate|78840 | So has anyone here used Linuxmint 18 mate? and how does ubuntu mate compare? | 20:41 |
| jessirelli | hi, so i tried xfce on top of mate and ran into graphics problems. someone recommended fluxbox wm and i had better luck with that, but not perfect so i ended up going back to regular MATE and discovered the cupertino panel layout under tweaks. looks like macOS now and i love it | 22:06 |
| caspi | Hi, finally I install ubuntu mate OS, but I can't use my wi-fi adapters. in the last days I look around on the web but nothing helpd me. I hope here, in this special group someone can with that. thanks. | 22:32 |

| basilarchia | the default install seems to have a "custom" look and feel selected which has 1 pixel borders | 23:20 |
| basilarchia | which makes resizing the windows almost impossible unless you are used to evilwm | 23:20 |
| basilarchia | I've done 3 or 4 installs today on different machines and they all have the same default appearance look and feel. | 23:21 |
| basilarchia | I mention it because it would be more or less impossible for a new user to resize windows | 23:21 |
