[03:43] <csquid> Just updated to 17.10 and I'm having a lot of wayland issues that I don't have time to sort out.  Does anyone know where to permanently change back to xord?
[03:43] <csquid> xorg*
[04:08] <Astro7467> @csquid: a quick google search should reveal. I understand this is a general Ubuntu issue and not Ubuntu MATE specific
[04:09] <Astro7467> @csquid try this ; https://itsfoss.com/switch-xorg-wayland/
[04:10] <Lengsdorfer> csquid, https://itsfoss.com/switch-xorg-wayland/
[04:14] <csquid> thanks, i'll check it out
[11:03] <moataz> hi all
[11:03] <moataz> guys i need help !
[11:05] <moataz> hello
[11:05] <Astro7467> !ask
[11:05] <moataz> does any1 already here ?
[11:05] <moataz> guys i just installed the mate but my main partition doesn't showed
[11:06] <moataz> thanks ubottu
[11:07] <Astro7467> moataz: you need to be more specific - install where and how (dual boot, VM, etc) , and what 'main partition.
[11:07] <Astro7467> More info, the better someone can advise
[11:33] <moataz> i made my swap and my / for the mate and for the rest size of the disk as /home but i cant find it and its totally hidden
[11:39] <moataz> so how to show the /home partition if its not showen
[11:47] <Astro7467> It shld to be auto mounted at /home
[11:47] <Astro7467> Use 'df' (disk free) for a list of partitions and mount points
[12:06] <luckynkc> hello all and thanks for letting me in im very new to linux znd ubuntu
[12:56] <moataz> omg sorry so /home its looking as folder its the partition :D
[12:57] <moataz> Astro thanks alot mate
[12:57] <moataz> guys how can i change my username please!
[13:12] <Astro7467> If system is new, easier to create a new user in system control panel
[13:13] <Astro7467> Be sure to tick that they are admin/sudo user
[13:23] <moataz> so can i do it with commands lines?
[13:25] <Astro7467> To change, and keep everything neat requires a few commands/changes - not easy eg change user name user1 to user2, their home folder will still be /home/user1
[13:26] <Astro7467> To create new user look at the adduser cmd
[16:48] <LyzardKing> Hi! I'm the current maintaner for ubuntu-make. The ppa listed in the software boutique is not active any more, but there's a new (daily build) one. Where should I make the change?
[16:49] <nemo> LyzardKing: I don't *think* any mate devs hang out here...
[16:49] <LyzardKing> nemo: the name tricked me I guess...
[16:50] <nemo> LyzardKing: well. this is more about ubuntu specific issues ☺
[16:50] <nemo> LyzardKing: #mate-dev is probably what you want according to ALIS
[16:50] <LyzardKing> nemo: I thought that the mate welcome and boutique were ubuntu-mate only...
[16:51] <nemo> LyzardKing: hm.  the channel topic sure seems to suggest this is entirely about ubuntu-mate.org
[16:51] <nemo> but dunno. I've been hanging out here for weeks. can't even remember what I initially came to ask about
[16:51] <nemo> and the only activity I've seen is people looking for support
[16:51] <nemo> often generic ubuntu support or generic mate
[16:51] <nemo> which is why I stayed ☺
[16:51] <nemo> LyzardKing: so. you might be here a while 😉
[16:52] <nemo> I actually only came by 'cause someone in the #mate support channel thought this place might be more active (it wasn't)
[16:52] <LyzardKing> the welcome program says that the ubuntu-mate team is on this channel...oh well...
[16:52] <DarkPsydeLord> and they are :D
[16:52] <nemo> omg
[16:53] <nemo> waddaya know
[16:53] <nemo> man wish I could remember what my question was
[16:53] <DarkPsydeLord> hahah it is active but everyone have several duties to achieve
[16:53] <DarkPsydeLord> and most people is impatient
[16:53] <DarkPsydeLord> lawl
[16:54] <LyzardKing> DarkPsydeLord: That's what I imagined ;)
[16:54] <nemo> eh I've seen questions sit here for hours before people quit 😝
[16:54] <LyzardKing> I'll stick around then...no rush! :)
[16:55] <nemo> oh. I know one question I had that was ubuntu specific
[16:55] <nemo> http://without-systemd.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_remove_systemd_from_an_Ubuntu_Xenial_installation  ←  how hard is it to do this for MATE instead of XFCE
[16:57] <DarkPsydeLord> well will be easier if you use arch for instance and build your own from scratch
[16:57] <DarkPsydeLord> i kind of hate systemd also
[16:58] <DarkPsydeLord> so openrc + arch is a good combo
[16:58] <nemo> DarkPsydeLord: well. I have a ton of gentoo systems
[16:58] <nemo> DarkPsydeLord: my transition plan for the debian ones is devuan
[16:58] <nemo> DarkPsydeLord: but... ubuntu has some rather slick user interfaces
[16:58] <nemo> the PPAs are nice...
[16:59] <nemo> and advantage of debian in general is a ton of users which means bugs in specific builds get caught early
[16:59] <nemo> never got into arch personally *shrug*
[17:01] <DarkPsydeLord> LyzardKing, did you tried the g+ group of fb for fast response? also tried to contact any of the team using the links on the webpage?
[17:01] <LyzardKing> I just opened a pull request, but I think I need to change two repos, since the new version of the boutique is not active yet (I believe)
[17:02] <DarkPsydeLord> also whatever happened to "matey" i miss the bot
[17:03] <nemo> hm. my domain would be perfect for that ☺
[17:03] <nemo> (I registered m8y.org like... 2 decades ago)
[17:04] <DarkPsydeLord> is it working still?}
[17:04] <nemo> sure
[17:04] <nemo> http://☠.m8y.org
[17:04] <nemo> (silliness)
[17:05] <DarkPsydeLord> Nice FSM is proud of ya!
[17:05] <sixwheeledbeast> There is MATE in devuan repos with systemd removed so I don't see why it wouldn't be possible for Ubuntu.
[17:05] <nemo> sixwheeledbeast: yeah, was just wondering how hard it was
[17:05] <nemo> sixwheeledbeast: whether I could just use one of their .debs
[17:06] <nemo> or if something special would be involved
[17:06] <sixwheeledbeast> No idea but it would be ideal for me too. I was going to try but never had the time.
[17:06] <nemo> DarkPsydeLord: 😃
[17:06] <nemo> sixwheeledbeast: well. most of my machines are still on 14.04
[17:07] <nemo> sixwheeledbeast: for my SO's it isn't just about systemd... she uses 7th String and just getting that to work on 14.04 was a pain
[17:08] <DarkPsydeLord> what 14.04? 17.10 is amazing
[17:08] <DarkPsydeLord> or thats what i've heard
[17:08] <DarkPsydeLord> i do not own a computer now xD
[17:08]  * nemo shrugs
[17:09] <nemo> 16.04 and later all corrupted my coworker's computer until he installed 14.04 - I mean. literally corrupted HD every time he closed the lid
[17:09] <nemo> PPAs get me stuff I actually care about
[17:09] <nemo> have no incentive to change just yet
[17:09] <nemo> but when I do it'll be devuan unless I can get systemd reliably removed + MATE
[17:10] <sixwheeledbeast> same
[17:20] <DarkPsydeLord> omg
[17:20] <DarkPsydeLord> got dced
[17:20] <DarkPsydeLord> actually connection flushed from the server
[21:52] <Burazen> I borked my ubuntu mate installation help
[21:53] <Burazen> I had trouble getting bumblebee working so i wanted to start from scratch
[21:53] <Burazen> did apt remove nvidia*
[21:53] <Burazen> restarted
[21:54] <Burazen> Everything worked fine
[21:54] <Burazen> Installed latest nvidia driver via GUI "Additional drivers"
[21:55] <Burazen> Now when i turn on my pc i get UMate logo with loading dots and after that the screen just goes black
