[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] <ubottu> Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience
[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
=== Tacoder is now known as DarkPsydeLord
[21:52] <Burazen> I borked my ubuntu mate installation help
