[00:08] 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.

Ubuntu !flavors may have different support durations, check their release notes for information.

[09:46] guys im so thirsty to understand this world [09:49] have a look online for guide and tutorials [09:49] im lost between versions could you please send me a good link! [13:42] hello [13:42] is any online ? [13:42] i need a help [13:48] are you sure? [13:52] yes [13:52] i am not able to download any apps [13:52] from ubuntu software centre [13:52] whats repository i am a bit confused [13:53] ?? [13:55] ?????????/ [13:59] hello [14:01] hello [14:02] whats repository [14:02] and how do i use it ? [14:06] 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] Can I get technical help for Ubuntu Mate here? [18:36] Yup [18:37] Ask, and wait for it... it might take time though, not all people watch the channel frequently [18:39] 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] Tach [18:40] I use commands on the terminal. [18:40] What's the output of xrandr ? Put it to pastebin [18:40] nö [18:40] If it says it doesn't support 1920x1080, maybe it doesnt? [18:41] mate|73954: is it possible your video card simply doesn't support higher? [18:41] hehe [18:41] jinx [18:41] * alkisg suspends the monitor, not the graphics card... [18:41] as well as xrandr, wouldn't mind having your xorg log [18:41] *suspects [18:41] "suspects" [18:41] I get 1920x1080 [18:41] alkisg: well. it's been the graphics card with me before [18:41] alkisg: due to simply not being able to push pixels out fast enough [18:42] mate|73954: xorg log plz! [18:42] Is that a command? [18:43] I mean. pastebing Xorg.0.log [18:43] *pastebin [18:43] /var/log/Xorg.0.log [18:43] Use all of the above commands? [18:44] no [18:44] ummm [18:44] hm. there must be a commandline thing to use pastebins [18:44] * nemo looks for one [18:45] I got 1600x900 twice. [18:45] I am thinking it's the card. [18:45] cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999 [18:45] and while you are at it [18:45] dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999 [18:46] might have to apt-get install nc but you should anyway, it is awesome [18:46] What do these commands do? [18:46] nemo: https://launchpad.net/pastebinit/ [18:46] mate|73954: they pipe your logs to this pastebin [18:46] mate|73954: it returns a URL where we can read them [18:46] mate|73954: if you think there's private info in there, don't do it I guess, but, it should be fine [18:47] like. won't have passwords ☺ [18:47] How will this help me with the resolution problem? [18:47] mate|73954: we can read your logs and look for clues ofc [18:47] DISPLAY=:0 glxinfo | nc termbin.com 9999 [18:47] another thing to check [18:48] vkareh: ah. totally unfamiliar, but I guess it amounts to basically same thing [18:49] nemo: agreed :P [18:49] 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] 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] 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] O_o [18:54] well, personally, speaking as FOSS contributor, Mint was a PITA [18:54] was like Ubuntu, but with poor integration w/ backports and ppas. And no live upgrade [18:54] I did kinda like their MATE skinning tho - I used it for a while. [18:55] I have one mint laptop - mostly for supporting mint users [18:55] we had some needlessly complicated upgrade instructions for mint users [18:55] I was using Linux Mint Mate with the problem I described. [18:55] no idea what the heck is up w/ that problem tho [18:55] that's pretty crazy [18:55] if you had mentioned it, I probably would have asked for similar logs, but also your xsession errors ☺ [18:56] and maybe launching libreoffice from a terminal to see what it reported [18:56] kinda wonder if it was a compositing bug [19:44] 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] (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] I haven't tested any of the other Ubuntu-MATE downloads, or even the standard Ubuntu downloads [19:51] http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ [19:51] seems to be on the list here [19:51] gmaciolek: maybe grab the torrent straight from the server itself? [19:51] gmaciolek: it took me a bit to find the server since you'd used wrong name above 😝 [19:52] had to grab another torrent ☺ [19:55] nemo: Try downloading the torrent from the official mate (ppc) page [19:58] https://i.imgur.com/pP3pRkX.png [20:05] gmaciolek: mind sending me the exact torrent download link? [20:05] I've never once downloaded the MATE ISO - I've always setup MATE on some other desktop image [20:06] 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] probably better off contacting them some other way tho [20:11] The link to download the file itself is fine - it's that the torrent isn't authorized on the tracker. [20:12] .... [20:12] duuude [20:12] bah screwit [20:12] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/releases/16.04.2/release/ubuntu-mate-16.04.1-desktop-powerpc.iso.torrent for example [20:12] 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] ah. THANK YOU [20:13] (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] well you can right away see the server is announcing a 16.04.3 [20:13] so obv the link is old [20:13] which was my point [20:13] Oh? Huh! [20:13] Yeah, that's curious [20:13] 14:51 < nemo> seems to be on the list here [20:13] 15:06 < nemo> but WAG it's just some link is out of date [20:13] check and check 😝 [20:13] just use the one from the server [20:13] "WAG?" [20:13] Wild-Ass Guess [20:14] on small FOSS servers that is definitely the way to go [20:14] http://tracker1.hedgewars.org/ here's the one we use for hedgewars [20:15] huh. I didn't make 'em linkable. bah [20:15] I should fix that [20:15] well. they are on our download page, so at least can compare hashes [20:15] Actually, I see "ubuntu-mate-16.10-desktop-powerpc.iso" on the tracker [20:15] ok and? [20:16] gmaciolek: oh. my apologies [20:16] gmaciolek: my turn to not read. the 16.04.3 is *not* PPC [20:16] I don't see a 16.04.03 as you described for powerpc [20:16] yes [20:16] Yeah, no worries. [20:17] gmaciolek: anyway. what the server is advertising is all there is I guess [20:17] so you have to use one of those [20:17] Text communication: The best! [20:17] you could perhaps upgrade from 15.10 [20:18] gmaciolek: mate can always be installed after the fact [20:18] 16.04.1 is what's available on cdimage.ubuntu.(etc) [20:18] (Ubuntu Mate 16.04.1 PPC) [20:18] gmaciolek: I guess you don't want 16.10 'cause it isn't LTS [20:19] 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] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mate/releases/ [20:19] Only on the torrent tracker - go figure. [20:19] * nemo shrugs [20:19] 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] actually none of my ubuntu machines will ever go past 14.04 ☺ [20:20] Indeed. [23:07] how do I add 1920x1080 resolution to the other resolutions (display shows them) so I can add it to my 27" monitor?
