[00:08] <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.
[00:53] <Burazen> i will do that

[13:42] <mate|16977> hello
[13:42] <mate|16977> is any online ?
[13:42] <mate|16977> i need a help
[13:48] <diogenes_> are you sure?
[13:52] <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
[13:53] <mate|16977> ??
[13:55] <mate|16977> ?????????/
[13:59] <dsv> hello
[14:01] <dsv> hello
[14:02] <mate|16977> whats repository
[14:02] <mate|16977> and how do i use it ?
[14:06] <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.
[18:36] <mate|73954> Can I get technical help for Ubuntu Mate here?
[18:36] <alkisg> Yup
[18:37] <alkisg> Ask, and wait for it... it might take time though, not all people watch the channel frequently
[18:39] <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?
[18:40] <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?
[18:41] <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
[18:42] <nemo> mate|73954: xorg log plz!
[18:42] <mate|73954> Is that a command?
[18:43] <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?
[18:44] <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
[18:45] <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
[18:46] <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
[18:47] <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
[18:48] <nemo> vkareh: ah. totally unfamiliar, but I guess it amounts to basically same thing
[18:49] <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
[18:52] <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.
[18:53] <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.
[18:54] <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.
[18:55] <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 ☺
[18:56] <nemo> and maybe launching libreoffice from a terminal to see what it reported
[18:56] <nemo> kinda wonder if it was a compositing bug
[19:44] <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
[19:48] <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)
[19:49] <gmaciolek> I haven't tested any of the other Ubuntu-MATE downloads, or even the standard Ubuntu downloads
[19:51] <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 😝
[19:52] <nemo> had to grab another torrent ☺
[19:55] <gmaciolek> nemo: Try downloading the torrent from the official mate (ppc) page
[19:58] <gmaciolek> https://i.imgur.com/pP3pRkX.png
[20:05] <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
[20:06] <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
[20:11] <gmaciolek> The link to download the file itself is fine - it's that the torrent isn't authorized on the tracker.
[20:12] <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
[20:13] <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
[20:14] <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
[20:15] <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?
[20:16] <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.
[20:17] <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
[20:18] <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
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <nemo> actually none of my ubuntu machines will ever go past 14.04 ☺
[20:20] <gmaciolek> Indeed.
[23:07] <mate|84093> how do I add 1920x1080 resolution to the other resolutions (display shows them) so I can add it to my 27" monitor?
