| sixwheeledbeast | I can only suggest booting from usb isn't set right or there is an issue with the live usb you have made? Check you can boot the live usb on something else would rule that out. | 01:19 |

| blackswan | sixwheeledbeast: it's a raspberry pi specific image somebody made; it has the raspberry pi boot loader in a vfat partition. i'm asking in #raspberrypi about some of the pi-specific stuff, i was asking here in case there were people with experience with the pi image from the ubuntu mate web site. | 02:31 |
| Guest91827 | what is the command in mate terminal for setting adapters network | 02:31 |

| casey | Hi everyone. I'm running a fresh install of Ubuntu MATE. I want to use the Slick Greeter for login, but I can't figure out how to install it; | 03:49 |
| casey | Ubuntu MATE 16.04 | 03:49 |

| sixwheeledbeast | Ok yes I forgot they where a different arch. There still could be an issue with the image are the checksums correct? | 10:17 |
| blackswan | sixwheeledbeast: the image is fine; i located an adapter and wrote it to the sd card directly and it works. still would like to know what the deal with the usb drive is, but i can figure that out later. | 11:04 |
| sixwheeledbeast | then it's something pi related. There is a boot config file on pi from what I remember? Did you say you changed this | 11:10 |
| FolkyHobbit | I was wondering, on a home build PC, is there any risk installing ubuntu mate 17.10 due to the corrupting bios bug? is it better to stay away from it till its fixed? | 11:17 |
| diogenes_ | FolkyHobbit, I'd say, stay away from lenovo if you intend to use linux. | 11:18 |
| sixwheeledbeast | It shouldn't be an issue if your BIOS is not affected. However, you could use 16.04 LTS for now, which is recommended by Ubuntu at the moment. | 11:20 |
| FolkyHobbit | thanx I do have a lenovo thinkpad laptop but this is about my desktop pc which is a home build. I might play it safe and go for 16.04. pity because I am curious about the changes made towards 17.10 ;) | 11:24 |
| diogenes_ | FolkyHobbit, this is what is written currently on ubuntu's official download page: http://dpaste.com/0EESTGY | 11:28 |
| tezogmix | Hi, was trying to update ubuntu-mate (after 1st boot reallocation splash screen) for the raspberry pi 3b and came across an error that I don't have enough storage in /boot - the microsd card is a class-10 32gb. I initially formatted within win7 and wrote the img file that I extracted from 7zip. | 11:56 |
| tezogmix | Ok I found a youtube video showing how to resolve this problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGCeLct5SUg // Not sure why this has to be done in the 1st place or how it could have been avoided altogether during the initial setup and upgrade via software updater. | 12:44 |
| tezogmix | correction (sorry wrong youtube link from above, this is the correct one): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYAnmjT8P-E [Work Around for Ubuntu-Mate on Raspberry-Pi Software Updater Error] | 12:45 |
| alkisg | tezogmix: you can file a bug report if you want a developer to see/fix it | 12:47 |
| tezogmix | So during the 1st software updater run, it appears that there's ~516mb to install... I wonder what will happen on the next update. I only gparted 1024mb for that PI_BOOT (from 64mb) | 12:48 |
| tezogmix | Thanks alkisg , total linux/pi beginner here, was just trying out this OS 1st time. | 12:49 |
| tezogmix | From the random google search results on this topic, it seems to have been going on for several months (dating back to February 2017 for example) and this ubuntu-mate version [ubuntu-mate-16.04.2-desktop-armhf-raspberry-pi.img.xz // 2017-02-16 release], so surprised it hasn't been reported in an official manner (maybe it has?) | 12:53 |
| tezogmix | Here's a forum reference on the topic with some more advanced commentary: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/no-room-on-boot-for-updates/11336/8 | 12:53 |
| tezogmix | nevertheless, I'm glad there's a project for the pi and looking forward to using/learning it better | 12:54 |
| tezogmix | One comment from the forum link above (I am unsure on its best-practice for beginners) had mentioned synaptic manager "Forget the default system update program and install Synaptic so you can update everything without having any problems!" | 13:00 |
| tezogmix | Then what's the purpose of the software updater? :P Basically, I'm hoping to avoid broken/incomplete updates or something similar to where I had to follow that youtube link on re-sizing the PI_Boot with gparted | 13:02 |
| tezogmix | Ok, thanks for time... perhaps some others will chime in here as able. | 13:02 |
| tezogmix | :/ Firefox keeps crashing on startup right after this 1st update | 13:17 |
| tezogmix | on version 57.0.3 | 13:18 |
| tezogmix | Looks like this error goes back several firefox versions... not sure what to do here: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/firefox-55-0-2-doesnt-start-crashes-on-ubuntu-mate-raspberrypi-3/14637 | 13:22 |
| ricotz | tezogmix, you can use firefox-esr on pi https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa | 13:28 |
| tezogmix | Hi ricotz that was what I was just about to try :) Thank you... I was just trying to figure out if I removed firefox completely with this command: "sudo apt-get purge firefox" | 13:29 |
| tezogmix | before installing firefox-esr | 13:30 |
| ricotz | you don't have to remove firefox, they don't conflict | 13:30 |
| tezogmix | ah you are right about that ricotz - I remember using firefox-esr on the raspbian PI OS before... but wanted to clear any remnants until I read and see more on why the non-esr FF versions aren't working.... looks like there's a ton of mozilla related folders all around the file system | 13:32 |

| kiwilinux | hi guys i was wondering if the problems with ubuntu 17.10 corrupting the bios of lenovos as well as some acer laptops was an issue with ubuntu-mate too? | 22:12 |
| alkisg | kiwilinux: yes, all ubuntus share the same basic packages, kernel etc | 22:38 |
