[00:19] Hi. 18.04 mate. Fresh install. After I installed nvidia(with sudo ubuntu-driver autoinstall) a login after reboot has LARGE DPI [00:20] I cannot use the system.. Anyone tell me where to change it? [00:21] I need to know where the font settings are in MATE [14:22] 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] pragomer1: `gsettings set org.mate.Marco.general center-new-windows true` [14:28] super cool. thank you so much :-) [14:29] you're welcome :) [14:56] also in control center look and feel windows placement center new window [14:57] is internet slow on pi 2 ubuntu mate [14:57] i have 75nbos connection and it doesnt go beyond 20mbps on speed test [15:03] 0the witcher 1 is the worst game i have ever played. bullshit game [21:35] guys [21:36] how do i destroy my system [21:45] :(){:|:&};: <-- don't run that [21:45] srsly. [21:46] also --no-preserve-root is helpful [21:47] i got a bunch of other ideas too but will refrain from sharing [22:43] 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] lol [22:44] hook up a much higher voltage power supply [22:44] that'll do 'er [22:44] or even reversing polarity *might* do it. [22:45] prolly has protection diodes though, i'd hope. [22:45] thats bit over kill,just need a software issue so it wont start up [22:45] zero out the mbr/gpt [22:45] they mightturn it on in shop etc [22:45] everything else would still be on the hdd though [22:46] yeah the hdd is clean of personal content, dont care if they discover linux on it later down the road [22:46] 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] hey wait a minute, i'm not going to be an accomplice in this [22:46] :( [22:47] we go down together buddy [22:48] not if i rat you out first >:D [22:48] hehe [22:48] it's not a bad machine but i think i can get something better [22:48] 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] if you were careful it'd be recoverable through a bios reflash e.g. from a usb stick [22:49] i think just deleting some critical files would do it right [22:50] i mean, yeah...but wouldn't they try to reinstall? [22:50] they could easily confirm it being software vs hardware [22:50] i would be long gone by then [22:50] hahah [22:50] yeah just nuke the mbr/gpt then [22:51] 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] what system do you have [22:52] desktop pc, custom built [22:53] 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] if you want a "tablet" i'd wait until the new chromeos powered ones come out [22:54] this is just for bedside stuff [22:54] they'll probably run android apps AND have a functional desktop [22:54] what about a windows tab with mate on it> [22:54] bad idea? [22:55] 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] i messed around for a bit getting debian+mate running inside a chroot on my samsung tablet [22:55] 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] i had a bluetooth keyboard and mouse [22:56] yeah the touch thing bothers me [22:57] afaik the unity desktop environment was designed with touch in mind [22:57] i haven't used that outside of a live cd in a long time though [22:57] hmm i guess its the future [22:58] i might be able to get use to it [22:58] maybe [22:58] soft keyboards are a pita too for any real typing. especially linux cmdline [22:59] yup
