LigHHi.09:03
alkisghi09:03
LigHHow do I disable the (empty) Welcome dialog in MATE 18 LTS? I found a hint to remove ~/.config/autostart/ubuntu-mate-welcome.desktop - but this file does not exist for me.09:03
alkisgIt's moved to gsettings. Just remove the ubuntu-mate-welcome snap package.09:04
alkisgPersonally the first thing I do after installing mate, is to remove snap completely, along with ubuntu-mate-welcome, mate-hud etc09:05
LigHI have a folder ~/snap/ubuntu-mate-welcome/ ... remove the whole folder? Or use a tool to have it removed?09:05
alkisgsnap list09:06
alkisg"snap" is the tool, similar to "apt"09:06
alkisgI don't remember the exact command as I remove it :D09:06
LigHSo ... sudo apt-get remove snap?09:06
alkisgSo it would be something like "snap remove ubuntu-mate-welcome"09:06
alkisgWhat does "snap list" say?09:06
LigHcore; pulsemixer; software-boutique; ubuntu-mate-welcome09:07
LigHI won't use the boutique eiter.09:08
alkisgThen remove all of them :D09:08
alkisgsudo apt purge snapd09:08
alkisgThat's what I do too09:08
alkisgI believe snap won't succeed and will get abandoned in a few years, so I don't want to even try it09:09
LigHYes, I will try that, one moment, rebooting the VM09:10
LigHNo more useless Welcome. Nice.09:11
LigHMany people report issues of this dialog being empty.09:11
LigHEven in real installations, not in VirtualBox.09:12
LigHSomething incompatible with 3D accelleration.09:12
alkisgFile bug reports in launchpad about it09:13
alkisgI don't like welcome dialogs anyway, they're very annoying for schools09:14
alkisgIf the teacher wants to tell something to the students, he will; now he just has to explain what this is 1000 times09:14
LigHLaunchpad already has at least two bug reports.09:15
alkisgCool, then just "affects me too" or a comment09:15
LigHDid so. With a little hardware detail.09:15
alkisgGreat09:15
LigHThanks, bye.09:15
alkisgMaybe Wimpress will get to it09:15
alkisgBye09:16
Venkulahello Mate-fellows !10:33
alkisghi10:34
VenkulaI have problem on Ubuntu Mate 18.04: brisk menu crashing and kaffeine video not working smooth. cannot install nvidia 340 - driver10:34
Venkulaok, now video works, has reset to x-org - driver10:36
Venkulaand I little wonder why ubuntu mate - installation boots so slowly and long ?10:38
CrazyTuxI am trying to update Ubuntu Mate 18.04, but getting an error.10:38
Venkulais it much heavier load that old version ?10:38
CrazyTux"Failed to download repository information10:38
CrazyTuxCheck your Internet connection."10:38
CrazyTuxplease help10:39
Venkulawhat about to reboot ?10:39
Venkula=)10:39
Venkulaare you here with that computer ?10:40
CrazyTuxyes10:40
alkisgCrazyTux: run `sudo apt update`, and put the output to pastebin10:44
gnugrCrazyTux: try to add a line in /etc/hosts 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' then try again10:44
Venkulahow to put output into file ?10:48
CrazyTuxalkisg, https://hastebin.com/oqiyijahoc.sql10:50
alkisgCrazyTux: can you go to http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu using firefox?10:51
CrazyTuxyes10:51
CrazyTuxalkisg, no.10:52
alkisgThen you have a problem with ipv610:52
CrazyTuxIt says "Connection timed out."10:52
alkisgYour networking gives you an ipv6 ip, and then can't handle it10:53
CrazyTuxalkisg, what to do then?10:53
alkisgAsk your network administrator to fix your networking10:53
alkisgIt's not an issue with your pc10:53
CrazyTuxbut, I am on the same network now.10:54
CrazyTuxI can use internet10:54
alkisgYes, sites with ipv4 work, and sites with ipv6 don't work10:54
CrazyTuxcan download files10:54
CrazyTuxok10:54
alkisgSo you need to tell your network administrator to disable ipv6 until he fixes it10:54
CrazyTuxwhy other distros don't have that problem? I am using Manjaro also.10:55
alkisgTell him to go to this site, http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu10:55
alkisgGo to this site with manjaro10:55
CrazyTuxok.10:55
CrazyTuxalkisg, thanks for that help.10:56
alkisgnp10:56
alkisgYou can disable ipv6 in ubuntu, but it's not the proper fix10:56
CrazyTuxok10:56
CrazyTuxI will ask the network admin to fix the networking.10:57
Venkulainteresting problem10:57
Venkulacan it be that there is bad and not working repositories on sources.lst ?11:00
Venkulacould check those11:00
CrazyTuxwhat?11:01
alkisgVenkula: and firefox can't access this site because of sources.list? :)11:07
Venkulaoh....that is interesting11:09
Venkulaso it is ipv6 problem ?11:10
Venkulamaybe needs to reset broadband - device then11:10

pgoetzDoes anyone know how to change the default GTK theme system wide?  We have some programs which run but which generate an error message "QGtkStyle could not resolve GTK. Make sure you have installed the proper libraries." This can be fixed by running qtconfig and resetting the default GUI style to something like Cleanbut it would be nice to do this18:35
pgoetzsystem wide.18:35
pgoetz*Cleanlooks*18:36
pgoetzI should have mentioned that these workstations are on 18.0418:44
matjamnewp not I18:44
matjamI would guess there's probably something you can do in /usr/share18:44
matjamlol18:44
pgoetzI looked in /usr/share/themes/default, but there wasn't really anything in there.18:45
matjamoften wherever it is set in the user side, there's something that mirrors it in the system paths18:46
matjamthe defaults might be in the binaries right18:47
matjamits probably storing that somewhere in gconf18:47
matjamor gsettings18:47
matjamor whatever its called these days18:47
matjamso I'd look at documentation for those things, and look at where they look for defaults18:47
