[00:19] <BigFontsHALP> Hi. 18.04 mate. Fresh install. After I installed nvidia(with sudo ubuntu-driver autoinstall) a login after reboot has LARGE DPI
[00:20] <BigFontsHALP> I cannot use the system.. Anyone tell me where to change it?
[00:21] <BigFontsHALP> I need to know where the font settings are in MATE
[14:22] <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?
[14:26] <vkareh> pragomer1: `gsettings set org.mate.Marco.general center-new-windows true`
[14:28] <pragomer1> super cool. thank you so much :-)
[14:29] <vkareh> you're welcome :)
[14:56] <lapaga> also in control center look and feel windows placement center new window
[14:57] <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
[15:03] <nripen> 0the witcher 1  is the worst game i have ever played. bullshit game
[21:35] <markie-> guys
[21:36] <markie-> how do i destroy my system
[21:45] <m4t> :(){:|:&};: <-- don't run that
[21:45] <m4t> srsly.
[21:46] <m4t> also --no-preserve-root is helpful
[21:47] <m4t> i got a bunch of other ideas too but will refrain from sharing
[22:43] <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
[22:44] <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.
[22:45] <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
[22:46] <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> :(
[22:47] <markie-> we go down together buddy
[22:48] <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
[22:49] <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
[22:50] <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
[22:51] <m4t> i usually use wipefs to clear remnants of old partition tables/filesystems from a drive without doing a full dd if=/dev/zero
[22:52] <markie-> what system do you have
[22:52] <m4t> desktop pc, custom built
[22:53] <markie-> nice. im thinking of replacing my mini laptop with android tablet,but dont know how i feel about using it like a pc
[22:54] <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?
[22:55] <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
[22:56] <m4t> i had a bluetooth keyboard and mouse
[22:56] <markie-> yeah the touch thing bothers me
[22:57] <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
[22:58] <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
[22:59] <markie-> yup
