[12:39] hello [12:44] hello [17:43] me gusta el maincra [17:44] shame on you [19:31] 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... [19:32] 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 [19:35] chaotix, what pc? [19:36] toshiba sattelite c55 [19:36] dorry l55 [19:36] sorry** [19:36] how old is it? [19:36] it was a gift, and from what i am reading toshiba is not linux friendly [19:36] i think fairly new [19:37] let me try to find out. i htink 2 years max [19:37] its an intel core i5 [19:38] found it.... https://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Satellite-L55-A5284-15-6-Inch-Processor/dp/B00DMMPQ3O [19:39] 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] chaotix, ok have you checked the driver manager? [19:39] it says 2 proprietary drivers arte in use [19:40] which ones? [19:41] sorry... one being the broadcom wifi one... the other one says... [19:42] unknown:unknown, and "Using processor microcode firmware for intel CPUs from intel-microcode (proprietary) [19:44] ok try to uncheck the broadcom and let it use the open source driver if available [19:44] so as a result you need to get only 1 proprietary driver in use, the microcode [19:44] ok [19:45] reboot afterwards and come back here [19:47] ok thank you [19:47] YOu need to find out which broadcom card you have. i would look at the mouse issue first. [19:47] much appreciated, I love the ubuntu community! [19:47] lspci will help [19:47] ok when you back, sixwheeledbeast will try to assist you further. [19:47] lspci | grep -i wireless [19:48] https://paste.ubuntu.com/26362011/ [19:48] ok hold on [19:48] "lspci | grep -i wireless" gives no outpu [19:49] im going to reboot and come back [19:49] Broadcom Limited BCM43142 < this is what you need [19:50] sixwheeledbeast, why the proprietary driver didn't see the card? [19:51] b43 isn't compatible with that card IIRC [19:56] ok back === chris__ is now known as chaotix [19:59] ok back [19:59] This will help for you wireless issues https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [20:00] b43 is not compatible will that card [20:01] thank you [20:02] I would try removing b43 (which I imagine has been installed automatically) and use bcmwl. [20:03] it could even be they are both installed and are conflicting so removing b43 and restarting may do the trick [20:03] Had that before. [20:03] https://paste.ubuntu.com/26362102/ [20:04] ok [20:04] and what are the steps, or a link to them, for removing b43? [20:05] i did "apt-cache search b43" and see a b43 installer [20:05] ill just google it lol [20:07] that link tyou gave nme has it all, sorry [20:07] should have openned my eyes [20:14] Yeah most of the issues are listed on there. If try bcmwl if not you could try ndiswrapper option as a last resort. [20:16] hey [20:16] im having trouble getting any of them to work other than b43 [20:16] can i share the outputs with you and get some feedback? [20:23] sixwheeledbeast, you suggested removing b43 and using bcmwl, but thats the proprietary one... is that the one you mean? [20:24] Yer, that card is not compatible with b43 open drivers I believe [20:25] so the options are bcmwl closed or ndiswrapper [20:28] ok [20:28] i kind of just lost touchpad support also [20:28] ughhh [20:29] the wireless will work with some messing but I am not sure about the touchpad. [20:29] i tried installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics [20:29] and after that, ran sudo rmod psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse [20:29] and now the touchpad wont move [20:34] You got the wifi working then? [20:40] I got the right-click fixrd [20:40] Now for the WIFI [20:40] Man, this reminds me of back in the day linus [20:40] linux** [20:41] 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] this is still much better than installing windows [20:41] lol [20:43] chaotix, but has this particular pc worked fine before with other linux versions? [20:44] no [20:44] This was a gift from my boss [20:44] I just got it [20:44] I see [20:44] I have never installed linux on it [20:44] ok [20:44] From what I am reading toshiba doesn't play well with linux [20:44] so it was kinda double surprise :D [20:44] yeah :) [20:44] i dont mind, we'll figure it out [20:45] 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] chaotix, maybe getting yourself a wifi dongle for 10 dollars on some ebay might be a good thing. [20:46] true [20:47] and it will be only a temporary alternative because I bet there will be a fix for your wifi card also. [20:48] hey, what is the easiest way to get hotcorners in ubuntu mate? compiz settings? [20:48] yeah, compiz is the best thing in the world :D [20:48] it can do literally everything [20:50] cool [20:51] * alkisg would love some coffee now... runs apt install compiz... :) [20:51] * diogenes_ adores compiz, without it there is no Sun! [20:52] speaking of which, i think unity is going to get really cool once the community takes it over [20:53] I don't use compiz, keep things light. [20:53] i love it, but innovation stagnated [20:53] that works === james is now known as Guest37782 [20:54] not keen on Unity/Munity either, part of the reason I switched to MATE in the first place. [20:54] 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 :) [20:55] she is happy and I am happy. [20:55] how is she finding the pc? guessing she can use it easliy? planning on setting up the same for my grandad [20:55] mostly because windows is too expensive lol [20:56] i think as long as I set it up for him it will be okay, just need to make sure I tinker with it [20:57] You could do similar without compiz. but there are so many ways to do lots of things that's the point. === Guest37782 is now known as Top === Top is now known as TopCat === TopCat is now known as MrTopCat [20:58] I prefer to keep thinks light, compositing is off. [20:58] hey how to change expo desktop switcher so that the desktops are 2x2 instead of 4x1? In compix [20:58] sixwheeledbeast, nah, the trick is the window rules dimensions and strict placement so only conpiz has all in one [20:58] otherwise I'd have to use a ton of different apps [21:03] diogenes_, how to change virtual desktops to 2x2 instead of 1x4? [21:04] Everyone has there own work flow and ways of doing things. Another person may have had another way to keep it simple. [21:08] got it..... ccsm->genera;->general options->desktop size [22:14] Good evening. How do you uninstall software like LibreOffice? [22:19] ylanes, apt remove libreoffice [22:20] Thank you so much. [22:20] you're welcome
