mate|87927hey! mates can anyone help me in optimizing mate 17.10 ?08:34
mate|87927i have i5 6gn 4gb ram and going for android custom rom building08:35
mate|87927new to linux if my system consumes a little more lesser of ram some good prerfomns that would be great help08:37
alkisgmate|87927: what kind of optimization? that's very vague...08:38
alkisgIn general mate is light, so it doesn't consume much ram by default08:39
mate|87927optimizing os in the sense good perfomance on lower ram08:39
alkisgYeah, that's what mate was build for08:39
mate|87927any more tweakin that can be done?08:40
alkisgYou can save a few MB if you disable a few services, but it won't make a real difference08:40
mate|87927i am on 4gb ram and 16gb swap does swap affect my perfomance?08:40
diogenes_mate|87927, it's not only about the ram, it's about a direct rendering capable graphics as well. Even if you have plenty of ram but you try to watch some hd youtube on some kind of SIS graphics, then it will fail irrespective of the amount of ram you have.08:41
alkisgIn normal use you should not be using swap, i.e. `free` should show zero08:41
mate|87927using linux for just one purpose thats building customs for android compiling kernel and etc08:42
alkisgi5's have internal graphics card which is fine for running VMs like android08:42
alkisgIf you actually run the VM and you see that you have RAM issues, then add 4 GB more08:43
mate|87927coz if i dont use swap i always go out of memory08:43
alkisgThen you'll need RAM. This isn't related to the desktop environment but to the programs you run08:43
alkisgE.g. mate may need 300 MB for all the OS and the DE, and then firefox and a VM may need 2000 MB08:44
alkisgSo trying to save a few MB from that 300 MB isn't significant08:44
alkisgIf you see that you need more RAM, buy it, don't try to save from the OS+DE RAM use08:44
alkisgBecause those are low, not important overall08:45
mate|87927i know i will be upgrading next week  to 12 but the problem lenovo ideapad ip110 15isk supports on 4bg as per official sources some people and crucial web stats it can support utp 16 in a sinkle slot08:46
mate|87927taking a risk of buying 8gb slow if it works good to go lenovo guys says it can only support 4bg more08:47
alkisgFor hardware advice, try asking in #hardware08:48
mate|87927but this is i5 600u should till 3208:48
mate|87927hmm okie08:48

FaultsAnd Lenovo + 17.10 is a bad idea at moment...10:05
Faultsbut he is gone already10:05
diogenes_Faults, lenovo + linux is always a bad idea.10:05
FaultsI meant that Bios Corruption problem what bricks your laptop10:06
FaultsBut yeah, I know that Lenovo isn't most compatible...10:07
FaultsHowever for me its been worked mostly ok10:07
diogenes_beside of that, there are tons or more problems with lenovo on linux, I have always had major issues with every single lenovo pc on linux10:07
FaultsMy work laptop is Lenovo W540 Optimus and all stuff works OK on it.10:08
diogenes_you were lucky10:09
FaultsAnd I had Lenovo X230, W520 and T410... Linux worked OK on those also.10:10
Paddy_NII tried installing "mate-window-applets" from github, I was successful in getting it to install thanks to the handy instructions. However, whilst the controls work they are invisible (have no icons)10:57
Paddy_NII really hope this becomes apart of mate in the near future10:57
Paddy_NIa part*10:57

blackswani am trying to install ubuntu mate on a raspberry pi 3 from a usb stick with the image from the web site and having no luck.23:06
blackswani have done the magic thing you have to do to enable booting from usb, and i know it works, because i have booted this pi previouisly from usb and had it running ubuntu mate on the very sd card i have in it now23:07
blackswanwhich was installed from one of the usb thumb drives now in my possession.23:07
blackswanso i *know* there is a way to install ubuntu mate on this particular pi with the usb drives i have, because i did it.23:07
blackswani have tried with every thumb drive i might have done this with, except for a sandisk 128gb drive which i have some stuff on i don't want to clobber.23:08
blackswanwhen i try to boot the pi from the usb drive, nothing happens unless the sd card with the running ubuntu system i'm trying to overwrite is inserted. no video, no lights on the thumb drive, no nothing.23:10
blackswanif the sd card is inserted, it boots from the sd card instead of the usb stick.23:10
