sixwheeledbeastneed 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
Burazeni will do that00:53

mate|16977whats repository14:02
mate|16977and 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|73954Can I get technical help for Ubuntu Mate here?18:36
alkisgYup18:36
alkisgAsk, and wait for it... it might take time though, not all people watch the channel frequently18:37
mate|73954I 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_Tach18:40
mate|73954I use commands on the terminal.18:40
alkisgWhat's the output of xrandr ? Put it to pastebin18:40
michael_18:40
alkisgIf it says it doesn't support 1920x1080, maybe it doesnt?18:40
nemomate|73954: is it possible your video card simply doesn't support higher?18:41
nemohehe18:41
nemojinx18:41
* alkisg suspends the monitor, not the graphics card...18:41
nemoas well as xrandr, wouldn't mind having your xorg log18:41
alkisg*suspects18:41
nemo"suspects"18:41
mate|73954I get 1920x108018:41
nemoalkisg: well. it's been the graphics card with me before18:41
nemoalkisg: due to simply not being able to push pixels out  fast enough18:41
nemomate|73954: xorg log plz!18:42
mate|73954Is that a command?18:42
nemoI mean. pastebing Xorg.0.log18:43
nemo*pastebin18:43
nemo/var/log/Xorg.0.log18:43
mate|73954Use all of the above commands?18:43
nemono18:44
nemoummm18:44
nemohm. there must be a commandline thing to use pastebins18:44
* nemo looks for one18:44
mate|73954I got 1600x900 twice.18:45
mate|73954I am thinking it's the card.18:45
nemocat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 999918:45
nemoand while you are at it18:45
nemodmesg | nc termbin.com 999918:45
nemomight have to apt-get install nc but you should anyway, it is awesome18:46
mate|73954What do these commands do?18:46
vkarehnemo: https://launchpad.net/pastebinit/18:46
nemomate|73954: they pipe your logs to this pastebin18:46
nemomate|73954: it returns a URL where we can read them18:46
nemomate|73954: if you think there's private info in there, don't do it I guess, but, it should be fine18:46
nemolike. won't have passwords ☺18:47
mate|73954How will this help me with the resolution problem?18:47
nemomate|73954: we can read your logs and look for clues ofc18:47
nemoDISPLAY=:0 glxinfo | nc termbin.com 999918:47
nemoanother thing to check18:47
nemovkareh: ah. totally unfamiliar, but I guess it amounts to basically same thing18:48
vkarehnemo: agreed :P18:49
nemomate|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 times18:49
mate|73954Although 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|73954So I changed to Ubuntu Mate rather than deal with the problem I was having with Linux Mint. Ubuntu does not do this.18:53
nemoO_o18:54
nemowell, personally, speaking as FOSS contributor, Mint was a PITA18:54
nemowas like Ubuntu, but with poor integration w/ backports and ppas.  And no live upgrade18:54
nemoI did kinda like their MATE skinning tho - I used it for a while.18:54
nemoI have one mint laptop - mostly for supporting mint users18:55
nemowe had some needlessly complicated upgrade instructions for mint users18:55
mate|73954I was using Linux Mint Mate with the problem I described.18:55
nemono idea what the heck is up w/ that problem tho18:55
nemothat's pretty crazy18:55
nemoif you had mentioned it, I probably would have asked for similar logs, but also your xsession errors ☺18:55
nemoand maybe launching libreoffice from a terminal to see what it reported18:56
nemokinda wonder if it was a compositing bug18:56
gmaciolekHey folks - the ubuntu mate PPC download torrent appears to be broken - the "tracker.ubuntu.com" BT tracker reports it as a not-authorized torrent19:44
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
gmaciolekI haven't tested any of the other Ubuntu-MATE downloads, or even the standard Ubuntu downloads19:49
nemohttp://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/19:51
nemoseems to be on the list here19:51
nemogmaciolek: maybe grab the torrent straight from the server itself?19:51
nemogmaciolek: it took me a bit to find the server since you'd used wrong name above 😝19:51
nemohad to grab another torrent ☺19:52
gmacioleknemo: Try downloading the torrent from the official mate (ppc) page19:55
gmaciolekhttps://i.imgur.com/pP3pRkX.png19:58
nemogmaciolek: mind sending me the exact torrent download link?20:05
nemoI've never once downloaded the MATE ISO - I've always setup MATE on some other desktop image20:05
nemobut 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 report20:06
nemoprobably better off contacting them some other way tho20:06
gmaciolekThe link to download the file itself is fine - it's that the torrent isn't authorized on the tracker.20:11
nemo....20:12
nemoduuude20:12
nemobah screwit20:12
gmaciolekhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/releases/16.04.2/release/ubuntu-mate-16.04.1-desktop-powerpc.iso.torrent for example20:12
gmaciolekOr, magnet:?xt=urn:btih:f29b7235363d0456f52aaf8eb8b748e980837305&dn=ubuntu-mate-16.04.1-desktop-powerpc.iso&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftorrent.ubuntu.com%3A6969%2Fannounce20:12
nemoah. THANK YOU20:12
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
nemowell you can right away see the server is announcing a 16.04.320:13
nemoso obv the link is old20:13
nemowhich was my point20:13
gmaciolekOh? Huh!20:13
gmaciolekYeah, that's curious20:13
nemo14:51 < nemo> seems to be on the list here20:13
nemo15:06 < nemo> but WAG it's just some link is out of date20:13
nemocheck and check 😝20:13
nemojust use the one from the server20:13
gmaciolek"WAG?"20:13
nemoWild-Ass Guess20:13
nemoon small FOSS servers that is definitely the way to go20:14
nemohttp://tracker1.hedgewars.org/  here's the one we use for hedgewars20:14
nemohuh. I didn't make 'em linkable. bah20:15
nemoI should fix that20:15
nemowell. they are on our download page, so at least can compare hashes20:15
gmaciolekActually, I see "ubuntu-mate-16.10-desktop-powerpc.iso" on the tracker20:15
nemook and?20:15
nemogmaciolek: oh. my apologies20:16
nemogmaciolek: my turn to not read. the 16.04.3 is *not* PPC20:16
gmaciolekI don't see a 16.04.03 as you described for powerpc20:16
nemoyes20:16
gmaciolekYeah, no worries.20:16
nemogmaciolek: anyway. what the server is advertising is all there is I guess20:17
nemoso you have to use one of those20:17
gmaciolekText communication: The best!20:17
nemoyou could perhaps upgrade from 15.1020:17
nemogmaciolek: mate can always be installed after the fact20:18
gmaciolek16.04.1 is what's available on cdimage.ubuntu.(etc)20:18
gmaciolek(Ubuntu Mate 16.04.1 PPC)20:18
nemogmaciolek: I guess you don't want 16.10 'cause it isn't LTS20:18
gmacioleknemo: No, I'd be fine with that - what's interesting is that 16.10 isn't in the cdimage tree at all!20:19
gmaciolekhttp://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/releases/20:19
gmaciolekOnly on the torrent tracker - go figure.20:19
* nemo shrugs20:19
nemoI'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 images20:19
nemoactually none of my ubuntu machines will ever go past 14.04 ☺20:20
gmaciolekIndeed.20:20
mate|84093how do I add 1920x1080 resolution to the other resolutions (display shows them) so I can add it to my 27" monitor?23:07
