[04:22] 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. === ErichEickmeyer_ is now known as ErichEickmeyer [12:36] the ubuntu-mate installer seems to keep failing to install grub correctly. (failed to get canonical path of /cow) [12:36] I've been installing to manually [12:36] maybe it's just the way I've been re-installing these laptops. Not sure. Just thought I'd mention it. [12:37] I'm having it pull down the updates with the install. I can try not doing that next time. [12:58] 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] basilarchia: if you're trying to report those issues, this is not the correct place [12:59] The installer and the /swapfile are ubuntu components, they are not part of the mate code [12:59] So you should be filing launchpad bugs for them [12:59] ah [13:00] 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] E.g. for the installer: https://launchpad.net/ubiquity => click on bugs [13:00] That was a change in ubuntu 17.10 [13:00] And as a core change, it affects all flavours [13:01] Now if you think you need help on the grub issue, you can provide more details [13:01] If you think it's a bug, just report it on launchpad [13:14] 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 === WieWoWasWozu is now known as hggdh === hggdh is now known as WieWoWasWozu [17:56] bonsoir [18:08] First time use Ubuntu mate! [20:41] So has anyone here used Linuxmint 18 mate? and how does ubuntu mate compare? [22:06] 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 [22:32] 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] Hey gents [22:41] what wifi adapter and what equipment? [22:41] if someone responed I don't see it becouse my network was disconnected [22:42] what wifi adapter and what equipment? [22:44] ok, I have 2. 1. internel - Atheros 802.11 //// 2. externel - usb adapter d-link DWA-171 [22:46] Do you have exact models? Can you check to see if they are supported https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [22:46] and my pc is laptop fujitsu v6515 [22:46] Dlink is not supported but there is a github link on the wiki [22:52] the exeact model is qualcomm atheros ar242x / ar542x [22:59] Do you have wired connection ok? Is there a hardware switch to enable WLAN? Have you updated and checked for drivers? [23:03] man you did that [23:05] OMG This switch dosn't in use for couple of years and now it turn my wifi card on [23:06] thank you very much [23:08] caspi: np :) [23:20] the default install seems to have a "custom" look and feel selected which has 1 pixel borders [23:20] which makes resizing the windows almost impossible unless you are used to evilwm [23:21] I've done 3 or 4 installs today on different machines and they all have the same default appearance look and feel. [23:21] I mention it because it would be more or less impossible for a new user to resize windows
