imexilHi, I'm contemplating to upgrade from 16.04 stock ubuntu to Ubuntu Mate but instead of reinstalling 17.10 thought to maybe go directly to 18.04. Now I wonder how stable are the daily builds. I don't mind fixing the odd application or am not afraid of changes from one day to another as long as I can run my normal applications. Anyone uses daily also as their daily driver?08:02
alkisgimexil: I'm using 18.04 in a school, there were a lot of stability complaints08:02
alkisgI suspect it's related to mate-hud...08:03
imexilstability as in window manager crashing?08:04
alkisgUnable to affect anything with keyboard/mouse08:04
alkisgWhile e.g. alt+ctrl+f1 works fine08:04
imexilAh I see. That would be an issue ;-)08:04
CrazyTuxhello, how can I completely purge Xubuntu DE and Xfce from my Ubuntu Mate installation?09:39
alkisgCrazyTux: try asking in #xubuntu09:44
CrazyTuxI have Ubuntu Mate installed.09:45
alkisgCrazyTux: ubuntu mate users know about ubuntu mate, so they can tell you how to uninstall its components etc09:46
alkisgXubuntu users know about xubuntu09:46
alkisgYou're asking the question "how to uninstall xubuntu"09:47
alkisgIt doesn't matter if you have unity, kde, lxde, mate  etc09:47
alkisgAsk in #xubuntu to see how to uninstall xfce...09:47
alkisgNormally it would be "sudo apt purge --auto-remove xubuntu-desktop", but if you installed from the xubuntu cd, then it would mark the packages as "manually installed", so autoremove wouldn't do much09:48
alkisgYou need to ask them, about which packages their desktop contains09:48
CrazyTuxok. I will do that.09:49
CrazyTuxhello, does installing multiple DEs corrupt the the OS?09:59
sixwheeledbeastI cant see why. Do you have an issue or is this a general question?10:06
alkisgSome times, services from one DE are running in the other DE10:16
CrazyTuxI have Ubuntu Mate 16.04.3 installed on my laptop. I have installed KDE Plasma, Lubuntu and Xubuntu DEs also on this. When I log into Mate the appearance seems to have changed. This was not the one that was there when I had installed Ubuntu Mate.10:17
CrazyTuxWhen I logged into Xubuntu, the desktop fonts and icons seemed to be blurred.10:18
alkisgit's best to use VMs for tests10:24
CrazyTuxok10:27
GenZai@alkisg, btw thx for the help yesterday. It worked :)10:27
GenZaiAlways scary when the grub gets broken :)10:28
alkisgyou're welcome10:29
alkisgindeed!10:29
CrazyTuxis it advisable to use a single DE?10:46
GenZaiWhy would he want to use several DE ?10:54
