[00:21] <mate|38708> Good day/night all. Any way to play Direct TV on Google Chrome?
[02:17] <Cloudpirate> Hello!
[02:17] <yuuki_> how's it going?
[02:53] <linos> install ubuntumate and able to login, however, I notice at boot there is this mmessage [FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules. Anyone have a fix?  Thanks
[04:32] <mate|54878> hello
[04:32] <mate|54878> :)
[04:32] <mate|54878> who are you
[04:32] <mate|54878> a

[05:44] <SpicyInTheMiddle> hey, anyone on atm?
[05:45] <gnugr> !ask SpicyInTheMiddle
[05:45] <SpicyInTheMiddle> got a funky issue where, even after a restart, my terminal window doesn't show the command prompt. I can type, and I have a blinking cursor, but not the usual rion@SpicyInTheMiddle-$ ... and the last thing I did in terminal was source $Home/.bashrc... and she just kinda sat there blinking.
[05:50] <SpicyInTheMiddle> *carries a lantern, searching for an honest man*
[05:50] <gnugr> SpicyInTheMiddle: if you think something is wrong with current .bashrc. you can copy from /etc/bash.bashrc
[05:52] <diogenes_> SpicyInTheMiddle, what have you just said?
[05:52] <SpicyInTheMiddle> well my subsequent googlefu indicates that bashrc has something to do with the way a terminal looks?
[05:53] <SpicyInTheMiddle> @diogenes_ I identify heavily with diogenes of sinope. I built a UAV a while back that ran an Onion Omega to sling its webcam to the ground, and I named the soft AP "Diogenes"
[05:53] <SpicyInTheMiddle> he carried a lantern during the day, saying he was looking for an honest man.
[05:53] <SpicyInTheMiddle> and ate onions.
[05:55] <diogenes_> well i know all of his quotes but why you brought it up just now?
[05:55] <SpicyInTheMiddle> because you logged in and "diogenes has joined" popped up.
[05:55] <SpicyInTheMiddle> i was just sort of saying hi.
[05:56] <diogenes_> SpicyInTheMiddle, :) that was very clever, you're cool!
[05:57] <diogenes_> ok do you know what Diogenes replied to Alexander the Great's question, when Alexander approached him and asked "what do you want me to do for you?"
[05:57] <SpicyInTheMiddle> also my arch nemesis is named Alexander at the moment, and he lists Veles, Macedonia as his place of birth. So it's entirely appropriate that I kind of don't like him, and he seems to wish he could be me. so weird. so very, very weird.'
[05:57] <SpicyInTheMiddle> step out of my light
[05:57] <diogenes_> lol
[05:57] <SpicyInTheMiddle> to which, Alexander replied, "Were i not Alexander the Great, I'd wish to be Diogenes"
[05:57] <SpicyInTheMiddle> "Well, were I not Diogenes, I believe I'd still wish to be Diogenes."
[05:58]  * SpicyInTheMiddle high fives you
[05:58] <diogenes_> SpicyInTheMiddle, O,o you're maybe one of very few people on the entire planet who knows such things, good job!
[05:58] <SpicyInTheMiddle> btw i keep getting comments on my comptuer name (SpicyInTheMiddle) and it comes from the logo etched on the lid.
[05:58] <SpicyInTheMiddle> thanks/likewise
[05:59] <SpicyInTheMiddle> i get weird looks when I mention him
[05:59] <SpicyInTheMiddle> then I point folks to Dresden Codak and Advanced Dugneons and Discourse
[05:59] <SpicyInTheMiddle> *Dungeons
[05:59] <diogenes_> i see
[06:01] <SpicyInTheMiddle> but re: username. I got a new dell inspiron 11. It's bright red. that is the most important feature. well, that and having sufficient ram to not smoke itself while, say, opening google.com. lol. but we got a new glowforge at the makerspace, so I figure "HEY KYLE, ETCH MEIN LOGO, JA?!" "Uh, sure, let's run it at 90%, worked ok for the macbook." lol.
[06:01] <SpicyInTheMiddle> . she looks great, but scorched on the middle part. "Well, she got a little spicy in the middle there". This is of course with me simply closing the lid on a laptop with like three programs running, less than 4 hours after I bought it. Just chucked it in the laser cutter and hit the button.
[06:02] <SpicyInTheMiddle> but... dumb question... how do I, say gedit $HOME/.bashrc if I don't have a terminal to punch that into
[06:02] <SpicyInTheMiddle> 'cause she aint' exactly doing anything I tell her to other than clicky draggy stuff
[06:07] <gnugr> SpicyInTheMiddle: the main thing is to understand why Diogenes was carrying his 'oil lamp' even with day light, (what was looking for)
[08:12] <OxOO> The panel window list shows some programs from other than the current workspace even though I have "show windows from current workspace" selected. These programs are also bold/highlighted. Can I change so these only show on their own workspaces?
[10:33] <liu> ??
[10:33] <liu> anyone here?
[10:41] <sixwheeledbeast> !ask
[11:03] <liu> ?
[11:36] <strabo> Hi! I'm new to MATE (an ex-Xubuntu) and this is the first time I join the chat.
[11:39] <strabo> MATE works beautifully in my Toshiba Portege. Up to now, there is one thing that I have found impossible to do: installing Numix Square icons. Ideas?
[14:32] <SpicyInTheMiddle> heya guyz
[14:32] <SpicyInTheMiddle> .bashrc is apparently dorked, but because of this I can't access it with a gedit $HOME/.bashrc - how do I get to it?
[14:33] <SpicyInTheMiddle> (all I see are some alternate bashrc's from a source install. OpenFOAM for the curious)
[14:53]  * SpicyInTheMiddle jumps to his doom from a first story window
[16:56]  * SpicyInTheMiddle is kerflempt
[17:05] <TechChristoph> Hallo
[17:13] <SpicyInTheMiddle> heya
[17:13] <SpicyInTheMiddle> so anyone have any ideas for how I restore/fix/etc a .bashrc file that I may or may not have dorked?
[18:03] <SpicyInTheMiddle> just touching base. Apparently all I had to do to fix the terminal not showing rion@SpicyInTheMiddle~$ is type Ctrl-C and voila
[18:03] <SpicyInTheMiddle> it's back
[18:04] <TechChristoph> SpicyInTheMiddle: so you deleted /etc/ ?
[18:04] <SpicyInTheMiddle> oh
[18:04] <TechChristoph> oh well then
[18:05] <TechChristoph> ...
[18:05] <SpicyInTheMiddle> no apparently the previous command from last night, source $HOME/.bashrc was still running
[18:05] <SpicyInTheMiddle> i was trying to install/compile the sources for OpenFOAM as per their tutorial
[18:05] <TechChristoph> but is /etc/ still existing ?
[18:05] <SpicyInTheMiddle> and like 99% of the code I've ever written has been for microcontrollers, so this giant pile of dependencies is kind of a new thing to me.
[18:05] <SpicyInTheMiddle> umm. one sec.
[18:06] <SpicyInTheMiddle> yes, /etc still exists
[18:06] <SpicyInTheMiddle> it's full of things
[18:06] <TechChristoph> some error output ?
[18:06] <SpicyInTheMiddle> gnome-system-tools, ghostscript, gnome-app-install hddtemp.db... all kinds of stuff
[18:06] <SpicyInTheMiddle> oh no. it just went to a new line with a blinky cursor
[18:06] <SpicyInTheMiddle> and i even closed the terminal and opened a new one and all I got was []
[18:06] <TechChristoph> and now ?
[18:06] <SpicyInTheMiddle> not a rino@SpicyInTheMiddle~$[]
[18:07] <SpicyInTheMiddle> now it's normal with the prompt and cursor like they're supposed to be
[18:07] <SpicyInTheMiddle> like, i went cd /etc and did an ls -l to see if it still existed with its contents.
[18:07] <SpicyInTheMiddle> so woot woot.
[18:07] <TechChristoph> .bashrc is there ?
[18:08] <SpicyInTheMiddle> but figured i'd report back since... idk what actually happened, but if someone's trying to compile something and does the thingy thing with the dodad, that's what you do is the ctrl-c to kill things. apparently.
[18:08] <SpicyInTheMiddle> #technicalterms
[18:08] <SpicyInTheMiddle> oh one sec.
[18:08] <SpicyInTheMiddle> bash.bashrc is there
[18:08] <SpicyInTheMiddle> as is bash-completion
[18:08] <SpicyInTheMiddle> and bash_completion.d
[18:08] <TechChristoph> ok then it should work
[18:09] <SpicyInTheMiddle> aye
[18:09] <SpicyInTheMiddle> it does now.
[18:09] <TechChristoph> ok good for you
[18:09] <SpicyInTheMiddle> i just have no idea what I did, so I figured I'd let y'all know since I asked last night and there was some question about the integrity of bashrc and all that jazz.
[18:10] <SpicyInTheMiddle> like... i don't know enough to know if it was an oops on my part, or a bug, or what.
[18:11] <SpicyInTheMiddle> anyhow, cheers, and thanks for pointing me in the right-ish direction. *high fives and such*
[18:15] <TechChristoph> no problem
[18:23] <CrazyTux> hello, can I install Xubuntu Desktop on Ubuntu Mate 18.04? will it create any conflicts and inconsistencies?
[18:24] <TechChristoph> CrazyTux: let me google that for you

[18:33] <CrazyTux> hello, can I install Xubuntu Desktop on Ubuntu Mate 18.04? will it create any conflicts and inconsistencies?
