sixwheeledbeast | need to find out why boot never completes. Try pressing Esc on boot or checking logs and removing quiet-splash from grub with a live usb. This will show some output of where boot fails for you to research. | 00:08 |

Burazen | i will do that | 00:53 |

Mizzu | guys whats the different between lts, artful and zesty versions !! | 08:14 |
alkisg | !lts | 08:18 |
ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions are supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Xenial (Xenial Xerus 16.04.1). Ubuntu !flavors may have different support durations, check their release notes for information. | 08:18 |
usnmp | audio input | 08:43 |
alkisg | Indeed | 08:44 |
Mizzu | ubottu thanks alot for your answer | 09:15 |
ubottu | Mizzu: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 09:15 |
alkisg | Mizzu: ubottu is a program that we invoke to take and display notes | 09:17 |
alkisg | So I told ubottu to tell you about LTS releases | 09:17 |
alkisg | It's not a person | 09:17 |

diogenes_ | are you sure? | 13:48 |
mate|16977 | yes | 13:52 |
mate|16977 | i am not able to download any apps | 13:52 |
mate|16977 | from ubuntu software centre | 13:52 |
mate|16977 | whats repository i am a bit confused | 13:52 |
mate|16977 | ?? | 13:53 |
mate|16977 | ?????????/ | 13:55 |
dsv | hello | 13:59 |
dsv | hello | 14:01 |
mate|16977 | whats repository | 14:02 |
mate|16977 | and how do i use it ? | 14:02 |
diogenes_ | mate|16977, you don't need a repository, you need a software which might not be in the official repositories, so first you have to figure out what you want to do. | 14:06 |
mate|73954 | Can I get technical help for Ubuntu Mate here? | 18:36 |
alkisg | Yup | 18:36 |
alkisg | Ask, and wait for it... it might take time though, not all people watch the channel frequently | 18:37 |
mate|73954 | I am trying to change my screen resolution to 1920X1080 because I have a 27" screen monitor. I have tried unsuccessfully and all I can get is 1600x900. Any help? | 18:39 |
michael_ | Tach | 18:40 |
mate|73954 | I use commands on the terminal. | 18:40 |
alkisg | What's the output of xrandr ? Put it to pastebin | 18:40 |
michael_ | nö | 18:40 |
alkisg | If it says it doesn't support 1920x1080, maybe it doesnt? | 18:40 |
nemo | mate|73954: is it possible your video card simply doesn't support higher? | 18:41 |
nemo | hehe | 18:41 |
nemo | jinx | 18:41 |
* alkisg suspends the monitor, not the graphics card... | 18:41 | |
nemo | as well as xrandr, wouldn't mind having your xorg log | 18:41 |
alkisg | *suspects | 18:41 |
nemo | "suspects" | 18:41 |
mate|73954 | I get 1920x1080 | 18:41 |
nemo | alkisg: well. it's been the graphics card with me before | 18:41 |
nemo | alkisg: due to simply not being able to push pixels out fast enough | 18:41 |
nemo | mate|73954: xorg log plz! | 18:42 |
mate|73954 | Is that a command? | 18:42 |
nemo | I mean. pastebing Xorg.0.log | 18:43 |
nemo | *pastebin | 18:43 |
nemo | /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 18:43 |
mate|73954 | Use all of the above commands? | 18:43 |
nemo | no | 18:44 |
nemo | ummm | 18:44 |
nemo | hm. there must be a commandline thing to use pastebins | 18:44 |
* nemo looks for one | 18:44 | |
mate|73954 | I got 1600x900 twice. | 18:45 |
mate|73954 | I am thinking it's the card. | 18:45 |
nemo | cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999 | 18:45 |
nemo | and while you are at it | 18:45 |
nemo | dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999 | 18:45 |
nemo | might have to apt-get install nc but you should anyway, it is awesome | 18:46 |
mate|73954 | What do these commands do? | 18:46 |
vkareh | nemo: https://launchpad.net/pastebinit/ | 18:46 |
nemo | mate|73954: they pipe your logs to this pastebin | 18:46 |
nemo | mate|73954: it returns a URL where we can read them | 18:46 |
nemo | mate|73954: if you think there's private info in there, don't do it I guess, but, it should be fine | 18:46 |
nemo | like. won't have passwords ☺ | 18:47 |
mate|73954 | How will this help me with the resolution problem? | 18:47 |
nemo | mate|73954: we can read your logs and look for clues ofc | 18:47 |
nemo | DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo | nc termbin.com 9999 | 18:47 |
nemo | another thing to check | 18:47 |
nemo | vkareh: ah. totally unfamiliar, but I guess it amounts to basically same thing | 18:48 |
vkareh | nemo: agreed :P | 18:49 |
nemo | mate|73954: if you're worried what's in them, feel free to read 'em first, but I've asked people for dmesg/glxinfo/Xorg.0.log many many times | 18:49 |
mate|73954 | Although I have used Linux Mint a lot, when I minimized most any appliication - even a Libre Office Writer app - I would lose all information I had typed into it. | 18:52 |
mate|73954 | So I changed to Ubuntu Mate rather than deal with the problem I was having with Linux Mint. Ubuntu does not do this. | 18:53 |
nemo | O_o | 18:54 |
nemo | well, personally, speaking as FOSS contributor, Mint was a PITA | 18:54 |
nemo | was like Ubuntu, but with poor integration w/ backports and ppas. And no live upgrade | 18:54 |
nemo | I did kinda like their MATE skinning tho - I used it for a while. | 18:54 |
nemo | I have one mint laptop - mostly for supporting mint users | 18:55 |
nemo | we had some needlessly complicated upgrade instructions for mint users | 18:55 |
mate|73954 | I was using Linux Mint Mate with the problem I described. | 18:55 |
nemo | no idea what the heck is up w/ that problem tho | 18:55 |
nemo | that's pretty crazy | 18:55 |
nemo | if you had mentioned it, I probably would have asked for similar logs, but also your xsession errors ☺ | 18:55 |
nemo | and maybe launching libreoffice from a terminal to see what it reported | 18:56 |
nemo | kinda wonder if it was a compositing bug | 18:56 |
gmaciolek | Hey folks - the ubuntu mate PPC download torrent appears to be broken - the "tracker.ubuntu.com" BT tracker reports it as a not-authorized torrent | 19:44 |
gmaciolek | (Though DHT or such must be working, as it did start downloading. Fun! I've added a bunch of additional (public) trackers to my local instance, so hopefully other folks using said trackers may have luck) | 19:48 |
gmaciolek | I haven't tested any of the other Ubuntu-MATE downloads, or even the standard Ubuntu downloads | 19:49 |
nemo | http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ | 19:51 |
nemo | seems to be on the list here | 19:51 |
nemo | gmaciolek: maybe grab the torrent straight from the server itself? | 19:51 |
nemo | gmaciolek: it took me a bit to find the server since you'd used wrong name above 😝 | 19:51 |
nemo | had to grab another torrent ☺ | 19:52 |
gmaciolek | nemo: Try downloading the torrent from the official mate (ppc) page | 19:55 |
gmaciolek | https://i.imgur.com/pP3pRkX.png | 19:58 |
nemo | gmaciolek: mind sending me the exact torrent download link? | 20:05 |
nemo | I've never once downloaded the MATE ISO - I've always setup MATE on some other desktop image | 20:05 |
nemo | but WAG it's just some link is out of date and hopefully the ubuntu mate folks who show up here once in a blue moon will notice your report | 20:06 |
nemo | probably better off contacting them some other way tho | 20:06 |
gmaciolek | The link to download the file itself is fine - it's that the torrent isn't authorized on the tracker. | 20:11 |
nemo | .... | 20:12 |
nemo | duuude | 20:12 |
nemo | bah screwit | 20:12 |
gmaciolek | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/releases/16.04.2/release/ubuntu-mate-16.04.1-desktop-powerpc.iso.torrent for example | 20:12 |
gmaciolek | Or, magnet:?xt=urn:btih:f29b7235363d0456f52aaf8eb8b748e980837305&dn=ubuntu-mate-16.04.1-desktop-powerpc.iso&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftorrent.ubuntu.com%3A6969%2Fannounce | 20:12 |
nemo | ah. THANK YOU | 20:12 |
gmaciolek | (By "the file itself" I meant the .torrent file itself is hosted fine, i.e. the http download of the .torrent file, heh) | 20:13 |
nemo | well you can right away see the server is announcing a 16.04.3 | 20:13 |
nemo | so obv the link is old | 20:13 |
nemo | which was my point | 20:13 |
gmaciolek | Oh? Huh! | 20:13 |
gmaciolek | Yeah, that's curious | 20:13 |
nemo | 14:51 < nemo> seems to be on the list here | 20:13 |
nemo | 15:06 < nemo> but WAG it's just some link is out of date | 20:13 |
nemo | check and check 😝 | 20:13 |
nemo | just use the one from the server | 20:13 |
gmaciolek | "WAG?" | 20:13 |
nemo | Wild-Ass Guess | 20:13 |
nemo | on small FOSS servers that is definitely the way to go | 20:14 |
nemo | http://tracker1.hedgewars.org/ here's the one we use for hedgewars | 20:14 |
nemo | huh. I didn't make 'em linkable. bah | 20:15 |
nemo | I should fix that | 20:15 |
nemo | well. they are on our download page, so at least can compare hashes | 20:15 |
gmaciolek | Actually, I see "ubuntu-mate-16.10-desktop-powerpc.iso" on the tracker | 20:15 |
nemo | ok and? | 20:15 |
nemo | gmaciolek: oh. my apologies | 20:16 |
nemo | gmaciolek: my turn to not read. the 16.04.3 is *not* PPC | 20:16 |
gmaciolek | I don't see a 16.04.03 as you described for powerpc | 20:16 |
nemo | yes | 20:16 |
gmaciolek | Yeah, no worries. | 20:16 |
nemo | gmaciolek: anyway. what the server is advertising is all there is I guess | 20:17 |
nemo | so you have to use one of those | 20:17 |
gmaciolek | Text communication: The best! | 20:17 |
nemo | you could perhaps upgrade from 15.10 | 20:17 |
nemo | gmaciolek: mate can always be installed after the fact | 20:18 |
gmaciolek | 16.04.1 is what's available on cdimage.ubuntu.(etc) | 20:18 |
gmaciolek | (Ubuntu Mate 16.04.1 PPC) | 20:18 |
nemo | gmaciolek: I guess you don't want 16.10 'cause it isn't LTS | 20:18 |
gmaciolek | nemo: No, I'd be fine with that - what's interesting is that 16.10 isn't in the cdimage tree at all! | 20:19 |
gmaciolek | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/releases/ | 20:19 |
gmaciolek | Only on the torrent tracker - go figure. | 20:19 |
* nemo shrugs | 20:19 | |
nemo | I'm not affiliated w/ ubuntu at all, although I know exactly one maintainer. you could perhaps ask a dev channel what's up w/ the images | 20:19 |
nemo | actually none of my ubuntu machines will ever go past 14.04 ☺ | 20:20 |
gmaciolek | Indeed. | 20:20 |
mate|84093 | how do I add 1920x1080 resolution to the other resolutions (display shows them) so I can add it to my 27" monitor? | 23:07 |
