[04:22] <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.
[12:36] <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.
[12:37] <basilarchia> I'm having it pull down the updates with the install. I can try not doing that next time.
[12:58] <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
[12:59] <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
[13:00] <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
[13:01] <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
[13:14] <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
[17:56] <radouanovitch> bonsoir
[18:08] <hungdv> First time use Ubuntu mate!
[20:41] <mate|78840> So has anyone here used Linuxmint 18 mate?  and  how does ubuntu mate compare?
[22:06] <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
[22:32] <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] <adam5> Hey gents
[22:41] <sixwheeledbeast> what wifi adapter and what equipment?
[22:41] <caspi> if someone responed I don't see it becouse my network was disconnected
[22:42] <sixwheeledbeast> what wifi adapter and what equipment?
[22:44] <caspi> ok, I have 2. 1. internel - Atheros 802.11 //// 2. externel - usb adapter d-link DWA-171
[22:46] <sixwheeledbeast> Do you have exact models? Can you check to see if they are supported https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[22:46] <caspi> and my pc is laptop fujitsu v6515
[22:46] <sixwheeledbeast> Dlink is not supported but there is a github link on the wiki
[22:52] <caspi> the exeact model is qualcomm atheros ar242x / ar542x
[22:59] <sixwheeledbeast> Do you have wired connection ok? Is there a hardware switch to enable WLAN? Have you updated and checked for drivers?
[23:03] <caspi> man you did that
[23:05] <caspi> OMG This switch dosn't in use for couple of years and now it turn my wifi card on
[23:06] <caspi> thank you very much
[23:08] <sixwheeledbeast> caspi: np :)
[23:20] <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
[23:21] <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
