| arm1e | Hi, Can anyone tell me if there is a way to turn off the full screen brisk menu in the Mutiny layout on 18.04? | 07:52 |

| rankin | pearlmate 4 synaptic package manager no longer working. How to reinstall it with distro's default settings. Main problem "cannot lock directory" and "held packages" | 12:53 |
| alkisg | rankin: that means that some OTHER application is using apt; maybe "unattended-updates" | 13:24 |
| alkisg | Run ps aux|grep apt and see | 13:24 |
| pilotbob42 | I read the second beta of 18.04 drops today? | 13:43 |
| usrshv_ | hi! why when i commented out all the parameters of the /etc/default/tlp, but frequency scaling.. i won some Celsius grades on my laptop! Just with even only compositing off and scaling at 800 MHz per core (0 and 1) this was at 70C under long load. now some about 68C. Now (at chat) it is about 53C | 14:04 |

| davido_ | After apt upgrade Firefox no longer starts up successfully. I imagine this might be a known issue. | 16:47 |
| bard | My system crashed two days ago after an update, and I needed to reinstall. Did anyone else have the same problem? | 16:49 |
| davido_ | bard: I did an upgrade yesterday on a really old rpi-mate install and it bricked Firefox. So I did a completely fresh install of Mate on a new microsd. Firefox then worked until after I ran apt update && apt upgrade | 16:50 |
| davido_ | Now it's persisting to be broken. did an rpi-update too, but that didn't help, and did an apt install firefox --reinstall too. | 16:51 |
| bard | My screen resolution got really strange. I could only see the top left corner. | 16:51 |
| davido_ | I suspect our issues are unrelated. Haven't had any similar screen issues. | 16:52 |
| hp | Spanish? | 16:53 |
| bard | I'm wondering if the upcoming release of 18.0 is taking people's attention away from 17, and things are getting a bit sloppy. | 16:53 |
| bard | My issue was system wide. | 16:54 |
| davido_ | Yes, and you're not on a Pi either, right? | 16:55 |
| bard | No. I'm on an Asus with an i7. | 16:55 |
| bard | Also, I couldn't get a good iso for a reinstall. I had to use an old cd with 16.0 to get going, then change the repositories to update. | 16:58 |
| davido_ | What's the advantage to using Mate on a modern i7? | 16:58 |
| bard | What else would I run? I think MacOS stinks and Windows is worse. | 16:59 |
| davido_ | (Not saying there isn't one, just wondered why this particular dist) | 16:59 |
| bard | I've been running Ubuntu Mate for 2 years, and this is my first major problem. | 17:00 |
| bard | I wanted to do a reinstall anyway because of all the packages I no longer wanted. | 17:00 |
| davido_ | What I mean is, Ubuntu is the sort of go to dist, whereas Ubuntu Mate (which this IRC channel targets) is more geared toward lower-end equipment. So with an i7 why go with Mate instead of a more mainstream version of Ubunut? | 17:00 |
| bard | I like the way it looks and performs. | 17:01 |
| bard | I think the team does a great job. | 17:01 |
| davido_ | I see. That's as good an explanation as any. :) | 17:02 |
| davido_ | As for avoiding Windows and MacOS, I'm with you there. | 17:02 |
| bard | Also, I understand that Canonical collects a lot of information that the Mate team doesn't collect. | 17:02 |
| davido_ | At $work I've strongly avoided the trend of going with a mac | 17:03 |
| bard | I think some Mac apps are good, but I don't need them. | 17:03 |
| bard | At least they were. Mac desktops have stagnated for a decade now. And I hate tablets. My eyes aren't that good. | 17:04 |
| bard | Ubuntu Mate, as far as I know, is only for desktops and laptops, so the engineers concentrate on that segment. | 17:05 |
| bard | Well Cheers! I'm off to the trenches. | 17:06 |
| mate|47904 | Anyone else get a blank grey unresponsive screen sometimes while using Discord? | 22:05 |
