[07:16] <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
[07:30] <diogenes_> grub should be configurred automatically
[07:40] <marcosfermin> diogenes_: Yes, but not automatically recognized by the laptop itself
[07:40] <marcosfermin> because of the EFI sector that OS X allocates
[07:41] <marcosfermin> It hides the GRUB
[07:41] <marcosfermin> and Linux comes first
[07:42] <marcosfermin> So I disable that hiding of GRUB
[07:42] <diogenes_> oh it's on macbook, ok
[08:13] <vlt> Hello. How can I create a clickable icon on the desktop that will run /my/shell_script.sh on Ubuntu 16.04 MATE?
[08:14] <marcosfermin> vlt: Yes you can
[08:15] <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
[08:16] <vlt> diogenes_: Neither a `libremenu` nor an `alacarte` command is found :-/
[08:17] <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
[08:18] <marcosfermin> vlt: google is your friend ;)
[08:25] <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?
[08:29] <higiniomarquez20> hola
[08:42] <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
[13:28] <raspberrypi> hi
[13:29] <raspberrypi> Firefox had a problem and crashed.
[13:29] <raspberrypi> To help us diagnose and fix the problem, you can send us a crash report.
[13:30] <diogenes_> and?
[13:31] <raspberrypi> you ren   ?
[18:14] <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
[18:28] <lenovohelp> Hello all.  Can anyone help me with an issue regarding a Lenovo Yoga 2 11?
[18:29] <diogenes_> Nono_25,
[18:29] <diogenes_> !fr
[18:29] <diogenes_> lenovohelp,
[18:29] <diogenes_> !ask
[18:30] <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.
[18:31] <lenovohelp> No idea if the re-release of the 17.10 ISO will fix it or not but I'm about to try it.
[18:32] <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
[18:33] <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?
[18:34] <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\
[18:36] <sixwheeledbeast> There are instructions that may help on the bugtracker https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1734147
