=== tom is now known as Guest54689 [01:35] Hi 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 s [01:35] uper helpful :) [02:04] hi === acheronuk is now known as rikmills === rikmills is now known as acheronuk [08:01] ji [08:01] hi [08:01] how are you [14:55] hi / test [15:11] hi [15:44] hello, I have a problem with my new graphic card [15:44] Is anyone willing and capable to help me? [15:46] !ask | Iv [15:46] Iv: 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 [15:52] ok, 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? [15:54] Iv, has it ever run well on linux before? [15:54] It used to play well with my asus r7 250x [15:54] really well [15:55] you mean on a different pc it used to work well? [15:55] no on the same before i change the graphic card this afternoon [15:56] (same pc) [15:56] ok let's see, pastebin the output of: inxi -FxCBGxxxw [15:59] inxi -FxCBGxxxw /usr/bin/inxi: illegal option -- B Error 7: One of the options you entered in your script parameters: -FxCBGxxxw is not supported.The option may require extra arguments to work. For supported options (and their arguments), check the help menu: inxi -h [16:00] inxi doesnt seem to work...

[16:02] ok, sorry [16:03] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pmMc8kNGkX/ [16:06] it shows that you've got 2 graphics cards [16:07] and also how did you end up using 4.13 kernel on ubuntu 16.04? the default is 4.4 [16:08] I have only 1 GPU [16:09] should I update my kernel? [16:09] no, i'm asking what manipulations you have done that you've changed the default kernel with the current one? [16:11] Idont think i did anything with the kernel [16:12] 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] before i got this graphic card I tried to use 2 r7 250x with cross fire [16:13] so i used a few command lines that i didnt all understand, maybe that's the reason [16:14] yep, those commands might have spoiled many things [16:15] I installed the system on my pc and i upgraded my Ati radeon r7 250 x with a radeon hd 5970 [16:16] Should I reinstall ubuntu? [16:17] 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 game [16:17] It's quite a nice thing to do, not like windows taking 3 weeks to install updates... [16:17] ok i'm on it [16:18] If you reinstall, use 18.04 which has support for newer cards [16:21] https://imgur.com/a/iW8DrAo [16:22] Iv, but the game kinds works and sound is ok it's only that you get that weird color? [16:22] https://imgur.com/a/ssdNZbI [16:24] yep, sound seems fine [16:25] and yes the game works exept for these colors [16:25] wich make it unplayable [16:26] by the way, thanks a lot for your time and help. [16:30] so, the best to do is to reinstall ubuntu mate 18.04? [16:31] Iv, yep, better do a fresh install of mate 18.04 NOT 16.04 [16:31] and also, do you have a separate /home partition? [16:32] I'm not sure, but i have external hdd for saving personal data [16:33] run: df -h | nc termbin.com 9999 [16:33] share the link you got [16:34] http://termbin.com/4xnf [16:35] why have a separate /home partition? [16:35] omg :) [16:35] i'm really amateur i guess [16:36] you've got en entire mess you partitions, ok then i'd advice you to do the following: [16:36] 1. back up all th important data to the extrnal hdd [16:36] 2. download mate 18.04 [16:36] 3. run the installer and once you reach partitioning [16:36] you choose "something else" [16:37] there you make the following partitions: [16:37] i used auto... [16:37] 1st - / = 30 GB ext4 [16:37] 2nd - /home = (as mucha s you like the bigger the better) ext4 [16:38] NB; /home partition is the equivalend of drive d on windows [16:38] war thunder is 40.1 gb [16:38] 3rd - /boot/efi = 300 MB [16:38] that's all ^^^ [16:38] i would like to have it on my ssd [16:39] and if your game has 40 GB then for /home partition you should use at least 100 GB [16:39] so 1st should be smaller? [16:40] 1st recommended is 30 GB [16:40] you run your game via steam? [16:41] https://imgur.com/a/1fOH37t [16:41] no i play it directly from download folder [16:41] i get it from gaijin.com [16:42] 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-install [16:44] you could use that toshiba 120 for / and /boot/efi and that 1 TB for /home [16:44] i should just copy my war thunder folder and paste it after reinstall? or should i redownload the game? [16:45] just copy/paste should work (theoretically because i never played it) [16:46] ok that will be a lot faster [16:46] i dont really get the difference between / and /home [16:47] Iv, it's like on window / = Disk C [16:47] /home = Disk D [16:47] when you re-install another system then you re-format the / partition [16:48] and you keep the /home partition, so that way all your data remain safe [16:48] ok but then if i want my game to be on ssd i have to paste my game folder in /war thunder [16:49] your ssd is the one with 120 GB right? [16:49] yes [16:49] but I need some special authorisation to paste on / ? [16:50] you will be able to copy it to / partition but you will need your user password [16:50] but i doubt it will work [16:50] ok, i think i tried and it didnt allow me... [16:51] 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 / [16:52] anyway, we shall continue this discussion after you actually install the new system [16:52] so i will keep /home on / ? [16:53] but how do i format my drives then? [16:53] 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 hdd [16:54] you will be given the options to format them once you run the installer and you reach partitioning and choose "something else" option [16:54] * diogenes_ is offline [16:56] but if i cant write on / my ssd will be useless? [18:36] hi [18:36] anyone up there? [18:37] !ask [18:37] 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 [18:38] i have HP Notebook - 15q-by004ax and have installed ubuntu 18.04 in it, the wifi driver is missing, what to do? [18:40] mate|82688, did you run: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade? [18:40] yes [18:40] did it upgrade? [18:41] https://thepasteb.in/p/r0hwz4gvLnAFK [18:41] it showed this [18:42] run: sudo lspci -nnk | grep Net -A3 [18:42] and pastebin it [18:43] okay [18:45] https://thepasteb.in/p/j2hlwZWWmYyUP [18:46] is that all you got ? 2 lines? [18:47] yes [18:47] mate|82688, pastebin: inxi - Fx [18:48] sorry, i didn't get what to do [18:49] in terminal run: inxi -Fx [18:49] okay [18:49] and pastebin the output [18:50] https://thepasteb.in/p/j2hlwZBnJDwfP [18:52] run: sudo apt install inxi [18:52] after it installs run: inxi -Fx [18:52] okay [18:55] https://thepasteb.in/p/g5hPj4oYl0ZTr [18:59] any one there?? [19:00] mate|82688, and if you open driver manager? [19:00] do you have anything in ther? [19:00] there* [19:02] it shows , no additional drivers available [19:02] what is the mirror? is it your local mirror or the main one? [19:03] also in the driver manager but a different tab (i forgot which one) [19:04] i am not able to follow you, i dont know what is a mirror [19:06] ok, what are other tabs in the driver manager? (sorry i don't use any ubuntu so i can't remember) [19:09] i 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 way [19:11] 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 try [19:12] to lose* [19:12] okay, what we have to do? [19:13] run all the commands in terminal [19:13] and confirm with "done" [19:13] so first: [19:13] git clone https://github.com/smlinux/rtl8723de.git -b 4.11-up [19:14] also pastebin the output [19:14] just hang on a bit [19:15] i found the same problem on ask ubuntu [19:15] https://askubuntu.com/questions/974587/wifi-adapter-not-getting-identified [19:16] and there is a solution to it, but i don't get that, can you help me with that? [19:17] there is no solution on that page [19:17] did you run the command? [19:18] no not yet, [19:18] but this is, i think the solution [19:18] https://askubuntu.com/questions/961299/cannot-see-my-wifi-10ecd723-when-trying-ubuntu/989152#989152 [19:18] solution no. 7 [19:19] yep, you can try that [19:19] come back with a feedback on how it went [19:21] but is it safe to run and if yes, then can you please help me with the solution [19:22] 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 it [19:22] so try that solution nr.7 [19:23] okay, so for that i should just copy and paste the command in the terminal, right? [19:24] mate|82688, one at a time [19:24] one line, then second and so on [19:25] okay [19:27] please be here, while i do the commands [19:30] i did the first segment of codes, i.e. first 5 lines [19:30] and i didn't get wifi [19:30] ok go to the second [19:30] and after you done, you have to reboot [19:31] okay [19:33] it is asking for the username on github [19:33] asking when you run waht command?

[20:19] yes [20:19] because you can paste here in the chat if there is less than 3 lines [20:20] if there is more, then pastebin [20:20] okay [20:20] should i save it? [20:21] first paste the result once again here [20:21] in the chat [20:21] which result? [20:22] the first line after you have modified it [20:22] EXTRA_CFLAGS += $(USER_EXTRA_CFLAGS) -fno-pie [20:23] ok now save, close [20:23] after that, run again: make [20:23] and pastebin [20:23] okay [20:24] what should i pastebin, there is no output [20:24] did you run: make?

[21:07] https://yupmaster.gaijinent.com/launcher/current.php?id=WarThunderLauncherLinux [21:07] i was talking about wine... [21:09] oh and i was wrong the game weights 20 gigas not 40 [21:10] Iv, go to the folder where the game launcher is [21:11] yes [21:12] right click on some white free space and open terminal [21:18] ubuntu mate 18.04 looks really nice by the way [21:24] diogenes_ are you still there? [21:24] Iv, i've asked you to do something so i'm waiting [21:25] oh ok, i opened the terminal from the game folder, sorry [21:25] ok now paste here in the chat the output of: pwd [21:47] Hey guys. I have a quesiton. [21:47] Does MATE do fractional scaling? (1.5x) [21:47] I'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. [22:08] https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/ubuntu-mate-hidpi-first-steps/12809/9 [22:09] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/WQjmRVw3/ [22:13] So there is no fractional scaling yet. [22:14] Because 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] xrandr is not the solution, it's buggy. [22:15] Causes graphical glitching. Elements dissapearing like buttons and pieces of text. Appearing only when hovered over. [22:15] And I'm looking to run Mate 18.04 [23:24] would I be correct to assume there will be no online update till 18.10 ?
