| BigFontsHALP | Hi. 18.04 mate. Fresh install. After I installed nvidia(with sudo ubuntu-driver autoinstall) a login after reboot has LARGE DPI | 00:19 |
|---|---|---|
| BigFontsHALP | I cannot use the system.. Anyone tell me where to change it? | 00:20 |
| BigFontsHALP | I need to know where the font settings are in MATE | 00:21 |
| pragomer1 | in ubuntu mate the apps (like caja, mate-terminal) always open in the left upper corner. can I set this to open always in middle of the screen? | 14:22 |
| vkareh | pragomer1: `gsettings set org.mate.Marco.general center-new-windows true` | 14:26 |
| pragomer1 | super cool. thank you so much :-) | 14:28 |
| vkareh | you're welcome :) | 14:29 |
| lapaga | also in control center look and feel windows placement center new window | 14:56 |
| nripen | is internet slow on pi 2 ubuntu mate | 14:57 |
| nripen | i have 75nbos connection and it doesnt go beyond 20mbps on speed test | 14:57 |
| nripen | 0the witcher 1 is the worst game i have ever played. bullshit game | 15:03 |
| markie- | guys | 21:35 |
| markie- | how do i destroy my system | 21:36 |
| m4t | :(){:|:&};: <-- don't run that | 21:45 |
| m4t | srsly. | 21:45 |
| m4t | also --no-preserve-root is helpful | 21:46 |
| m4t | i got a bunch of other ideas too but will refrain from sharing | 21:47 |
| markie- | m4t: my laptop is defective but i need to make it more defective, so when i take it bk tomorrow it'll be no probs | 22:43 |
| m4t | lol | 22:44 |
| m4t | hook up a much higher voltage power supply | 22:44 |
| m4t | that'll do 'er | 22:44 |
| m4t | or even reversing polarity *might* do it. | 22:44 |
| m4t | prolly has protection diodes though, i'd hope. | 22:45 |
| markie- | thats bit over kill,just need a software issue so it wont start up | 22:45 |
| m4t | zero out the mbr/gpt | 22:45 |
| markie- | they mightturn it on in shop etc | 22:45 |
| m4t | everything else would still be on the hdd though | 22:45 |
| markie- | yeah the hdd is clean of personal content, dont care if they discover linux on it later down the road | 22:46 |
| m4t | if you wanted it to be software only, you could brick the bios with a bad flash. maybe edit a legit bios/uefi and remove some necessary uefi drivers etc. | 22:46 |
| m4t | hey wait a minute, i'm not going to be an accomplice in this | 22:46 |
| m4t | :( | 22:46 |
| markie- | we go down together buddy | 22:47 |
| m4t | not if i rat you out first >:D | 22:48 |
| markie- | hehe | 22:48 |
| markie- | it's not a bad machine but i think i can get something better | 22:48 |
| m4t | but yeah. modding a bios to make it unbootable (but reflashable) would be a soft brick. like if you opened it up in uefitool and deleted the ahci/sata module. it'd refuse to boot from hdd | 22:48 |
| m4t | if you were careful it'd be recoverable through a bios reflash e.g. from a usb stick | 22:49 |
| markie- | i think just deleting some critical files would do it right | 22:49 |
| m4t | i mean, yeah...but wouldn't they try to reinstall? | 22:50 |
| m4t | they could easily confirm it being software vs hardware | 22:50 |
| markie- | i would be long gone by then | 22:50 |
| m4t | hahah | 22:50 |
| m4t | yeah just nuke the mbr/gpt then | 22:50 |
| m4t | i usually use wipefs to clear remnants of old partition tables/filesystems from a drive without doing a full dd if=/dev/zero | 22:51 |
| markie- | what system do you have | 22:52 |
| m4t | desktop pc, custom built | 22:52 |
| markie- | nice. im thinking of replacing my mini laptop with android tablet,but dont know how i feel about using it like a pc | 22:53 |
| m4t | if you want a "tablet" i'd wait until the new chromeos powered ones come out | 22:54 |
| markie- | this is just for bedside stuff | 22:54 |
| m4t | they'll probably run android apps AND have a functional desktop | 22:54 |
| markie- | what about a windows tab with mate on it> | 22:54 |
| markie- | bad idea? | 22:54 |
| m4t | if it's native boot it might be okay, i have no idea what it'd be like to try to navigate via touch (without a mouse) | 22:55 |
| m4t | i messed around for a bit getting debian+mate running inside a chroot on my samsung tablet | 22:55 |
| m4t | it ran *inside* android with x11 being an sdl-based android app, so poor graphics performance. and w/stock samsung kernel, sudo etc. didn't work even when suid | 22:55 |
| m4t | i had a bluetooth keyboard and mouse | 22:56 |
| markie- | yeah the touch thing bothers me | 22:56 |
| m4t | afaik the unity desktop environment was designed with touch in mind | 22:57 |
| m4t | i haven't used that outside of a live cd in a long time though | 22:57 |
| markie- | hmm i guess its the future | 22:57 |
| markie- | i might be able to get use to it | 22:58 |
| m4t | maybe | 22:58 |
| m4t | soft keyboards are a pita too for any real typing. especially linux cmdline | 22:58 |
| markie- | yup | 22:59 |
