| usrshv | hi! where can i read history of kernel updates in ubuntu mate? After update my laptop wont boot with new. | 11:07 |
|---|---|---|
| adam_ | hello | 12:39 |
| diogenes_ | hello | 12:44 |
| carl_ | me gusta el maincra | 17:43 |
| DarkPsydeLord | shame on you | 17:44 |
| chaotix | hello. i have just done a fresh install of ubuntu mate 17.10, and I have no right click context menu in anmy application at all. The corresponding keyboard button between right-alt and right-control works for the context menu, but not the right mouse button. it is a laptop, touchpad... | 19:31 |
| chaotix | i think it actually might be a driver thing, because it treats the right and left mouse/touchpad buttons as the same and i also have no wifi, forced to use ethernet | 19:32 |
| diogenes_ | chaotix, what pc? | 19:35 |
| chaotix | toshiba sattelite c55 | 19:36 |
| chaotix | dorry l55 | 19:36 |
| chaotix | sorry** | 19:36 |
| diogenes_ | how old is it? | 19:36 |
| chaotix | it was a gift, and from what i am reading toshiba is not linux friendly | 19:36 |
| chaotix | i think fairly new | 19:36 |
| chaotix | let me try to find out. i htink 2 years max | 19:37 |
| chaotix | its an intel core i5 | 19:37 |
| chaotix | found it.... https://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Satellite-L55-A5284-15-6-Inch-Processor/dp/B00DMMPQ3O | 19:38 |
| chaotix | i tried to live boot quite a few linux distros and had no wifi support, so i decided to just install ubuntu mate and see if i could find a way to make everything work | 19:39 |
| diogenes_ | chaotix, ok have you checked the driver manager? | 19:39 |
| chaotix | it says 2 proprietary drivers arte in use | 19:39 |
| diogenes_ | which ones? | 19:40 |
| chaotix | sorry... one being the broadcom wifi one... the other one says... | 19:41 |
| chaotix | unknown:unknown, and "Using processor microcode firmware for intel CPUs from intel-microcode (proprietary) | 19:42 |
| diogenes_ | ok try to uncheck the broadcom and let it use the open source driver if available | 19:44 |
| diogenes_ | so as a result you need to get only 1 proprietary driver in use, the microcode | 19:44 |
| chaotix | ok | 19:44 |
| diogenes_ | reboot afterwards and come back here | 19:45 |
| chaotix | ok thank you | 19:47 |
| sixwheeledbeast | YOu need to find out which broadcom card you have. i would look at the mouse issue first. | 19:47 |
| chaotix | much appreciated, I love the ubuntu community! | 19:47 |
| sixwheeledbeast | lspci will help | 19:47 |
| diogenes_ | ok when you back, sixwheeledbeast will try to assist you further. | 19:47 |
| sixwheeledbeast | lspci | grep -i wireless | 19:47 |
| chaotix | https://paste.ubuntu.com/26362011/ | 19:48 |
| chaotix | ok hold on | 19:48 |
| chaotix | "lspci | grep -i wireless" gives no outpu | 19:48 |
| chaotix | im going to reboot and come back | 19:49 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Broadcom Limited BCM43142 < this is what you need | 19:49 |
| diogenes_ | sixwheeledbeast, why the proprietary driver didn't see the card? | 19:50 |
| sixwheeledbeast | b43 isn't compatible with that card IIRC | 19:51 |
| chris__ | ok back | 19:56 |
| === chris__ is now known as chaotix | ||
| chaotix | ok back | 19:59 |
| sixwheeledbeast | This will help for you wireless issues https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 19:59 |
| sixwheeledbeast | b43 is not compatible will that card | 20:00 |
| chaotix | thank you | 20:01 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I would try removing b43 (which I imagine has been installed automatically) and use bcmwl. | 20:02 |
| sixwheeledbeast | it could even be they are both installed and are conflicting so removing b43 and restarting may do the trick | 20:03 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Had that before. | 20:03 |
| chaotix | https://paste.ubuntu.com/26362102/ | 20:03 |
| chaotix | ok | 20:04 |
| chaotix | and what are the steps, or a link to them, for removing b43? | 20:04 |
| chaotix | i did "apt-cache search b43" and see a b43 installer | 20:05 |
| chaotix | ill just google it lol | 20:05 |
| chaotix | that link tyou gave nme has it all, sorry | 20:07 |
| chaotix | should have openned my eyes | 20:07 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Yeah most of the issues are listed on there. If try bcmwl if not you could try ndiswrapper option as a last resort. | 20:14 |
| chaotix | hey | 20:16 |
| chaotix | im having trouble getting any of them to work other than b43 | 20:16 |
| chaotix | can i share the outputs with you and get some feedback? | 20:16 |
| chaotix | sixwheeledbeast, you suggested removing b43 and using bcmwl, but thats the proprietary one... is that the one you mean? | 20:23 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Yer, that card is not compatible with b43 open drivers I believe | 20:24 |
| sixwheeledbeast | so the options are bcmwl closed or ndiswrapper | 20:25 |
| chaotix | ok | 20:28 |
| chaotix | i kind of just lost touchpad support also | 20:28 |
| chaotix | ughhh | 20:28 |
| sixwheeledbeast | the wireless will work with some messing but I am not sure about the touchpad. | 20:29 |
| chaotix | i tried installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics | 20:29 |
| chaotix | and after that, ran sudo rmod psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse | 20:29 |
| chaotix | and now the touchpad wont move | 20:29 |
| sixwheeledbeast | You got the wifi working then? | 20:34 |
| chaotix | I got the right-click fixrd | 20:40 |
| chaotix | Now for the WIFI | 20:40 |
| chaotix | Man, this reminds me of back in the day linus | 20:40 |
| chaotix | linux** | 20:40 |
| chaotix | i'm used to everygthing working out of the box, for several years now, on every computer I have installed any linux distro on | 20:41 |
| chaotix | this is still much better than installing windows | 20:41 |
| chaotix | lol | 20:41 |
| diogenes_ | chaotix, but has this particular pc worked fine before with other linux versions? | 20:43 |
| chaotix | no | 20:44 |
| chaotix | This was a gift from my boss | 20:44 |
| chaotix | I just got it | 20:44 |
| diogenes_ | I see | 20:44 |
| chaotix | I have never installed linux on it | 20:44 |
| diogenes_ | ok | 20:44 |
| chaotix | From what I am reading toshiba doesn't play well with linux | 20:44 |
| diogenes_ | so it was kinda double surprise :D | 20:44 |
| chaotix | yeah :) | 20:44 |
| chaotix | i dont mind, we'll figure it out | 20:44 |
| chaotix | hopefully the issues will be fixed in future linux kernel versions... i dont know if thats possible but i assume that's why things work out of the box on most laptops now | 20:45 |
| diogenes_ | chaotix, maybe getting yourself a wifi dongle for 10 dollars on some ebay might be a good thing. | 20:45 |
| chaotix | true | 20:46 |
| diogenes_ | and it will be only a temporary alternative because I bet there will be a fix for your wifi card also. | 20:47 |
| chaotix | hey, what is the easiest way to get hotcorners in ubuntu mate? compiz settings? | 20:48 |
| diogenes_ | yeah, compiz is the best thing in the world :D | 20:48 |
| diogenes_ | it can do literally everything | 20:48 |
| chaotix | cool | 20:50 |
| * alkisg would love some coffee now... runs apt install compiz... :) | 20:51 | |
| * diogenes_ adores compiz, without it there is no Sun! | 20:51 | |
| chaotix | speaking of which, i think unity is going to get really cool once the community takes it over | 20:52 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I don't use compiz, keep things light. | 20:53 |
| chaotix | i love it, but innovation stagnated | 20:53 |
| chaotix | that works | 20:53 |

| sixwheeledbeast | not keen on Unity/Munity either, part of the reason I switched to MATE in the first place. | 20:54 |
| diogenes_ | sixwheeledbeast, with the help of compiz and xdotool, I set up the pc for my 74 yo granny so with only one or two button she does all the work that otherwise would take a dozen of clicks :) | 20:54 |
| diogenes_ | she is happy and I am happy. | 20:55 |
| Guest37782 | how is she finding the pc? guessing she can use it easliy? planning on setting up the same for my grandad | 20:55 |
| Guest37782 | mostly because windows is too expensive lol | 20:55 |
| Guest37782 | i think as long as I set it up for him it will be okay, just need to make sure I tinker with it | 20:56 |
| sixwheeledbeast | You could do similar without compiz. but there are so many ways to do lots of things that's the point. | 20:57 |

| sixwheeledbeast | I prefer to keep thinks light, compositing is off. | 20:58 |
| chaotix | hey how to change expo desktop switcher so that the desktops are 2x2 instead of 4x1? In compix | 20:58 |
| diogenes_ | sixwheeledbeast, nah, the trick is the window rules dimensions and strict placement so only conpiz has all in one | 20:58 |
| diogenes_ | otherwise I'd have to use a ton of different apps | 20:58 |
| chaotix | diogenes_, how to change virtual desktops to 2x2 instead of 1x4? | 21:03 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Everyone has there own work flow and ways of doing things. Another person may have had another way to keep it simple. | 21:04 |
| chaotix | got it..... ccsm->genera;->general options->desktop size | 21:08 |
| ylanes | Good evening. How do you uninstall software like LibreOffice? | 22:14 |
| diogenes_ | ylanes, apt remove libreoffice | 22:19 |
| ylanes | Thank you so much. | 22:20 |
| diogenes_ | you're welcome | 22:20 |
