| marcosfermin | Hello guys. I just installed Ubuntu MATE on a MacBook Pro and configured GRUB. Has any of you done it? I would like to share some thoughts about the experience | 07:16 |
|---|---|---|
| diogenes_ | grub should be configurred automatically | 07:30 |
| marcosfermin | diogenes_: Yes, but not automatically recognized by the laptop itself | 07:40 |
| marcosfermin | because of the EFI sector that OS X allocates | 07:40 |
| marcosfermin | It hides the GRUB | 07:41 |
| marcosfermin | and Linux comes first | 07:41 |
| marcosfermin | So I disable that hiding of GRUB | 07:42 |
| diogenes_ | oh it's on macbook, ok | 07:42 |
| vlt | Hello. How can I create a clickable icon on the desktop that will run /my/shell_script.sh on Ubuntu 16.04 MATE? | 08:13 |
| marcosfermin | vlt: Yes you can | 08:14 |
| marcosfermin | Get the code from any .desktop file | 08:15 |
| diogenes_ | vlt, the easiest way is to use libremenu application | 08:15 |
| marcosfermin | and change the path (and icon) with yours | 08:15 |
| vlt | marcosfermin: Thanks, I'll try to find one. | 08:15 |
| diogenes_ | or use alacarte too | 08:15 |
| vlt | diogenes_: Neither a `libremenu` nor an `alacarte` command is found :-/ | 08:16 |
| diogenes_ | vlt, sudo apt install libremenu | 08:17 |
| diogenes_ | and sudo apt install alacarte | 08:17 |
| diogenes_ | there you can even specify the category you want your shorcut to be placed | 08:17 |
| vlt | marcosfermin: I have not a single *.desktop file in my ~ to copy from :D | 08:17 |
| marcosfermin | vlt: google is your friend ;) | 08:18 |
| vlt | Ok, I found an example on https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/.desktop-Dateien/ When I use this the target script is executed (I checked that by inserting a `touch file` command) but I don't see the expected output: an rdesktop login screen. | 08:25 |
| vlt | Any idea how to do that? | 08:25 |
| higiniomarquez20 | hola | 08:29 |
| vlt | When I open a terminal window (ctrl+alt+t, for example) and run the script it works fine and I get rdesktops's login screen as output. When clicking the .desktop file I don't get that window. | 08:42 |
| vlt | This is the .desktop file: http://termbin.com/bcxv | 08:42 |

| raspberrypi | hi | 13:28 |

| raspberrypi | To help us diagnose and fix the problem, you can send us a crash report. | 13:29 |
| diogenes_ | and? | 13:30 |
| raspberrypi | you ren ? | 13:31 |
| Nono_25 | Bonjour les gens! je suis sur ubuntu mate et raspberry pouvez vous me dire si il a d'autres gens dans le même cas que moi? Merci | 18:14 |
| lenovohelp | Hello all. Can anyone help me with an issue regarding a Lenovo Yoga 2 11? | 18:28 |
| diogenes_ | Nono_25, | 18:29 |
| diogenes_ | !fr | 18:29 |
| ubottu | Nous sommes desoles mais ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en français, veuillez taper /join #ubuntu-fr ou /join #ubuntu-qc. Merci. | 18:29 |
| diogenes_ | lenovohelp, | 18:29 |
| diogenes_ | !ask | 18:29 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 18:29 |
| lenovohelp | Oh, okay. Got it. Sorry, new to the whole IRC thing. I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 11, with no HDD. I was an idiot and booted a Ubuntu MATE 17.10 LiveUSB and now I can no longer boot from anything else besides this usb stick. I think it has to do with that bug a few weeks back. | 18:30 |
| lenovohelp | No idea if the re-release of the 17.10 ISO will fix it or not but I'm about to try it. | 18:31 |
| diogenes_ | lenovohelp, it will definitely be fixed but that means that the fix will affect only the future installations unfortunately it can't fix the already damaged machines | 18:32 |
| diogenes_ | if it's a new laptop then you might consider returning and asking for refund | 18:33 |
| lenovohelp | I did read something about creating a partition with persistence, and from there installing and booting a new kernel. Have you heard anything about that? | 18:33 |
| lenovohelp | Well it's a second-hand machine and I really don't need it, but I'd hate to throw away good hardware. | 18:34 |
| diogenes_ | another way is to take your drive out of your lenovo machine, put it into another machine a working one, install linux there then place the drive back\ | 18:34 |
| sixwheeledbeast | There are instructions that may help on the bugtracker https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1734147 | 18:36 |
