Guest54689Hi everyone. I just recently re-installed this version and im having some trouble. The panels arent working properly. I went into the tweak tool and when I set it to Mutiny, the search wasnt there. When I set it back to familiar, I have a blank bottom panel and the top is all gone -- all I did was switch to the pre-set tweaks. Any advice would be s01:35

Ivok, thank you, I just got a radeon hd 5970 for my computer : intel pentium g4560 with 8gb ram, I'm using ubuntu 16.04.4 mate 1.12.1. I try to play a game called war thunder and the screen gets full of flashy colors when I try to play it, what should I do?15:52
diogenes_Iv, has it ever run well on linux before?15:54
IvIt used to play well with my asus r7 250x15:54
Ivreally well15:54
diogenes_you mean on a different pc it used to work well?15:55
Ivno on the same before i change the graphic card this afternoon15:55
Iv(same pc)15:56

Ivok, sorry16:02
Ivhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pmMc8kNGkX/16:03
diogenes_it shows that you've got 2 graphics cards16:06
diogenes_and also how did you end up using 4.13 kernel on ubuntu 16.04? the default is 4.416:07
IvI have only 1 GPU16:08
Ivshould I update my kernel?16:09
diogenes_no, i'm asking what manipulations you have done that you've changed the default kernel with the current one?16:09
IvIdont think i did anything with the kernel16:11
diogenes_ok when and who installed the system on your pc? also why did you change the graphic card and what graphics card you have had preiously?16:12
Ivbefore i got this graphic card I tried to use 2 r7 250x with cross fire16:12
Ivso i used a few command lines that i didnt all understand, maybe that's the reason16:13
diogenes_yep, those commands might have spoiled many things16:14
IvI installed the system on my pc and i upgraded my Ati radeon r7 250 x with a radeon hd 597016:15
IvShould I reinstall ubuntu?16:16
diogenes_first what game you trying to run? do other games work well? also it would be useful if you could make a screenshot of those colored artifacts that you get when you starting the game16:17
IvIt's quite a nice thing to do, not like windows taking 3 weeks to install updates...16:17
Ivok i'm on it16:17
alkisgIf you reinstall, use 18.04 which has support for newer cards16:18
Ivhttps://imgur.com/a/iW8DrAo16:21
diogenes_Iv, but the game kinds works and sound is ok it's only that you get that weird color?16:22
Ivhttps://imgur.com/a/ssdNZbI16:22
Ivyep, sound seems fine16:24
Ivand yes the game works exept for these colors16:25
Ivwich make it unplayable16:25
Ivby the way, thanks a lot for your time and help.16:26
Ivso, the best to do is to reinstall ubuntu mate 18.04?16:30
diogenes_Iv, yep, better do a fresh install of mate 18.04 NOT 16.0416:31
diogenes_and also, do you have a separate /home partition?16:31
IvI'm not sure, but i have external hdd for saving personal data16:32
diogenes_run: df -h | nc termbin.com 999916:33
diogenes_share the link you got16:33
Ivhttp://termbin.com/4xnf16:34
Ivwhy have a separate /home partition?16:35
diogenes_omg :)16:35
Ivi'm really amateur i guess16:35
diogenes_you've got en entire mess you partitions, ok then i'd advice you to do the following:16:36
diogenes_1. back up all th important data to the extrnal hdd16:36
diogenes_2. download mate 18.0416:36
diogenes_3. run the installer and once you reach partitioning16:36
diogenes_you choose "something else"16:36
diogenes_there you make the following partitions:16:37
Ivi used auto...16:37
diogenes_1st - / = 30 GB ext416:37
diogenes_2nd - /home = (as mucha s you like the bigger the better) ext416:37
diogenes_NB; /home partition is the equivalend of drive d on windows16:38
Ivwar thunder is 40.1 gb16:38
diogenes_3rd - /boot/efi = 300 MB16:38
diogenes_that's all ^^^16:38
Ivi would like to have it on my ssd16:38
diogenes_and if your game has 40 GB then for /home partition you should use at least 100 GB16:39
Ivso 1st should be smaller?16:39
diogenes_1st recommended is 30 GB16:40
diogenes_you run your game via steam?16:40
Ivhttps://imgur.com/a/1fOH37t16:41
Ivno i play it directly from download folder16:41
Ivi get it from gaijin.com16:41
diogenes_then you should backup that folder with the game and its configs so it would be easier to set all the thing up after you re-install16:42
diogenes_you could use that toshiba 120 for / and /boot/efi and that 1 TB for /home16:44
Ivi should just copy my war thunder folder and paste it after reinstall? or should i redownload the game?16:44
diogenes_just copy/paste should work (theoretically because i never played it)16:45
Ivok that will be a lot faster16:46
Ivi dont really get the difference between / and /home16:46
diogenes_Iv, it's like on window / = Disk C16:47
diogenes_ /home = Disk D16:47
diogenes_when you re-install another system then you re-format the / partition16:47
diogenes_and you keep the /home partition, so that way all your data remain safe16:48
Ivok but then if i want my game to be on ssd i have to paste my game folder in /war thunder16:48
diogenes_your ssd is the one with 120 GB right?16:49
Ivyes16:49
Ivbut I need some special authorisation to paste on / ?16:49
diogenes_you will be able to copy it to / partition but you will need your user password16:50
diogenes_but i doubt it will work16:50
Ivok, i think i tried and it didnt allow me...16:50
diogenes_probably it won't start or if it starts it won't be able to save your current record because it won't be able to write to /16:51
diogenes_anyway, we shall continue this discussion after you actually install the new system16:52
Ivso i will keep /home on / ?16:52
Ivbut how do i format my drives then?16:53
diogenes_nope, you've got only 2 options, to either install the system with / - on ssd and /home on either the same aad (but the size will be small) or install /home on your hdd16:53
diogenes_you will be given the options to format them once you run the installer and you reach partitioning and choose "something else" option16:54
* diogenes_ is offline16:54
Ivbut if i cant write on / my ssd will be useless?16:56
mate|82688hi18:36
mate|82688anyone up there?18:36

diogenes_do you have anything in ther?19:00
diogenes_there*19:00
mate|82688it shows , no additional drivers available19:02
diogenes_what is the mirror? is it your local mirror or the main one?19:02
diogenes_also in the driver manager but a different tab (i forgot which one)19:03
mate|82688i am not able to follow you, i dont know what is a mirror19:04
diogenes_ok, what are other tabs in the driver manager? (sorry i don't use any ubuntu so i can't remember)19:06
mate|82688i can't find any window as driver manager, although there is a window named software and update and it has a tab named additional drivers, which is empty by the way19:09
diogenes_mate|82688, ok, we can try one thing BUT i can't guarantee any positive result, you might even end up with a broken system so if you have nothing to loose then we can try19:11
diogenes_to lose*19:12
mate|82688okay, what we have to do?19:12
diogenes_run all the commands in terminal19:13
diogenes_and confirm with "done"19:13
diogenes_so first:19:13

diogenes_also pastebin the output19:14
mate|82688just hang on a bit19:14
mate|82688i found the same problem on ask ubuntu19:15
mate|82688https://askubuntu.com/questions/974587/wifi-adapter-not-getting-identified19:15
mate|82688and there is a solution to it, but i don't get that, can you help me with that?19:16
diogenes_there is no solution on that page19:17
diogenes_did you run the command?19:17
mate|82688no not yet,19:18
mate|82688but this is, i think the solution19:18
mate|82688https://askubuntu.com/questions/961299/cannot-see-my-wifi-10ecd723-when-trying-ubuntu/989152#98915219:18
mate|82688solution no. 719:18
diogenes_yep, you can try that19:19
diogenes_come back with a feedback on how it went19:19
mate|82688but is it safe to run and if yes, then can you please help me with the solution19:21
diogenes_you said you got nothing important to lose in case you got a broken system, so keep your usb with the system close to you so in case you need a re-install, you can  easily do it19:22
diogenes_so try that solution nr.719:22
mate|82688okay, so for that i should just copy and paste the command in the terminal, right?19:23
diogenes_mate|82688, one at a time19:24

mate|82688okay19:25

vrtlHey guys. I have a quesiton.21:47
vrtlDoes MATE do fractional scaling? (1.5x)21:47
vrtlI'm on a 4k system right now. Only DE that is able to decently do scaling is KDE. Unity did a great job too. Other distros just fail.21:47
timnzhttps://ubuntu-mate.community/t/ubuntu-mate-hidpi-first-steps/12809/922:08
timnzhttps://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/WQjmRVw3/22:09
vrtlSo there is no fractional scaling yet.22:13
vrtlBecause I got a bit confused by this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/UbuntuMATE/comments/8g7bvi/hidpi_is_brilliant_but_how_does_it_work/22:14
vrtlxrandr is not the solution, it's buggy.22:14
vrtlCauses graphical glitching. Elements dissapearing like buttons and pieces of text. Appearing only when hovered over.22:15
vrtlAnd I'm looking to run Mate 18.0422:15
Dekkardwould I be correct to assume there will be no online update till 18.10 ?23:24
