[03:28] <matjam> crash_: I think most people go to #ubuntu
[09:03] <LigH> Hi.
[09:03] <alkisg> hi
[09:03] <LigH> How 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.
[09:04] <alkisg> It's moved to gsettings. Just remove the ubuntu-mate-welcome snap package.
[09:05] <alkisg> Personally the first thing I do after installing mate, is to remove snap completely, along with ubuntu-mate-welcome, mate-hud etc
[09:05] <LigH> I have a folder ~/snap/ubuntu-mate-welcome/ ... remove the whole folder? Or use a tool to have it removed?
[09:06] <alkisg> snap list
[09:06] <alkisg> "snap" is the tool, similar to "apt"
[09:06] <alkisg> I don't remember the exact command as I remove it :D
[09:06] <LigH> So ... sudo apt-get remove snap?
[09:06] <alkisg> So it would be something like "snap remove ubuntu-mate-welcome"
[09:06] <alkisg> What does "snap list" say?
[09:07] <LigH> core; pulsemixer; software-boutique; ubuntu-mate-welcome
[09:08] <LigH> I won't use the boutique eiter.
[09:08] <alkisg> Then remove all of them :D
[09:08] <alkisg> sudo apt purge snapd
[09:08] <alkisg> That's what I do too
[09:09] <alkisg> I believe snap won't succeed and will get abandoned in a few years, so I don't want to even try it
[09:10] <LigH> Yes, I will try that, one moment, rebooting the VM
[09:11] <LigH> No more useless Welcome. Nice.
[09:11] <LigH> Many people report issues of this dialog being empty.
[09:12] <LigH> Even in real installations, not in VirtualBox.
[09:12] <LigH> Something incompatible with 3D accelleration.
[09:13] <alkisg> File bug reports in launchpad about it
[09:14] <alkisg> I don't like welcome dialogs anyway, they're very annoying for schools
[09:14] <alkisg> If the teacher wants to tell something to the students, he will; now he just has to explain what this is 1000 times
[09:15] <LigH> Launchpad already has at least two bug reports.
[09:15] <alkisg> Cool, then just "affects me too" or a comment
[09:15] <LigH> Did so. With a little hardware detail.
[09:15] <alkisg> Great
[09:15] <LigH> Thanks, bye.
[09:15] <alkisg> Maybe Wimpress will get to it
[09:16] <alkisg> Bye
[10:33] <Venkula> hello Mate-fellows !
[10:34] <alkisg> hi
[10:34] <Venkula> I have problem on Ubuntu Mate 18.04: brisk menu crashing and kaffeine video not working smooth. cannot install nvidia 340 - driver
[10:36] <Venkula> ok, now video works, has reset to x-org - driver
[10:38] <Venkula> and I little wonder why ubuntu mate - installation boots so slowly and long ?
[10:38] <CrazyTux> I am trying to update Ubuntu Mate 18.04, but getting an error.
[10:38] <Venkula> is it much heavier load that old version ?
[10:38] <CrazyTux> "Failed to download repository information
[10:38] <CrazyTux> Check your Internet connection."
[10:39] <CrazyTux> please help
[10:39] <Venkula> what about to reboot ?
[10:39] <Venkula> =)
[10:40] <Venkula> are you here with that computer ?
[10:40] <CrazyTux> yes
[10:44] <alkisg> CrazyTux: run `sudo apt update`, and put the output to pastebin
[10:44] <gnugr> CrazyTux: try to add a line in /etc/hosts 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' then try again
[10:48] <Venkula> how to put output into file ?
[10:50] <CrazyTux> alkisg, https://hastebin.com/oqiyijahoc.sql
[10:51] <alkisg> CrazyTux: can you go to http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu using firefox?
[10:51] <CrazyTux> yes
[10:52] <CrazyTux> alkisg, no.
[10:52] <alkisg> Then you have a problem with ipv6
[10:52] <CrazyTux> It says "Connection timed out."
[10:53] <alkisg> Your networking gives you an ipv6 ip, and then can't handle it
[10:53] <CrazyTux> alkisg, what to do then?
[10:53] <alkisg> Ask your network administrator to fix your networking
[10:53] <alkisg> It's not an issue with your pc
[10:54] <CrazyTux> but, I am on the same network now.
[10:54] <CrazyTux> I can use internet
[10:54] <alkisg> Yes, sites with ipv4 work, and sites with ipv6 don't work
[10:54] <CrazyTux> can download files
[10:54] <CrazyTux> ok
[10:54] <alkisg> So you need to tell your network administrator to disable ipv6 until he fixes it
[10:55] <CrazyTux> why other distros don't have that problem? I am using Manjaro also.
[10:55] <alkisg> Tell him to go to this site, http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu
[10:55] <alkisg> Go to this site with manjaro
[10:55] <CrazyTux> ok.
[10:56] <CrazyTux> alkisg, thanks for that help.
[10:56] <alkisg> np
[10:56] <alkisg> You can disable ipv6 in ubuntu, but it's not the proper fix
[10:56] <CrazyTux> ok
[10:57] <CrazyTux> I will ask the network admin to fix the networking.
[10:57] <Venkula> interesting problem
[11:00] <Venkula> can it be that there is bad and not working repositories on sources.lst ?
[11:00] <Venkula> could check those
[11:01] <CrazyTux> what?
[11:07] <alkisg> Venkula: and firefox can't access this site because of sources.list? :)
[11:09] <Venkula> oh....that is interesting
[11:10] <Venkula> so it is ipv6 problem ?
[11:10] <Venkula> maybe needs to reset broadband - device then
[11:11] <mate|37744> how to install um on a rpi3 plz
[11:11] <mate|37744> burnt sd card
[11:11] <mate|37744> rpi plugged in
[11:11] <mate|37744> hdmi cables check
[11:11] <mate|37744> but nothing on screen
[18:26] <mate|96682> Itrying ubuntu Mate 18 in  virtualbox the Gnome-software  shows NO    categories And the more  buttons  do nothing Is is am problem with  gnome-softwar
[18:35] <pgoetz> Does 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 this
[18:35] <pgoetz> system wide.
[18:36] <pgoetz> *Cleanlooks*
[18:44] <pgoetz> I should have mentioned that these workstations are on 18.04
[18:44] <matjam> newp not I
[18:44] <matjam> I would guess there's probably something you can do in /usr/share
[18:44] <matjam> lol
[18:45] <pgoetz> I looked in /usr/share/themes/default, but there wasn't really anything in there.
[18:46] <matjam> often wherever it is set in the user side, there's something that mirrors it in the system paths
[18:47] <matjam> the defaults might be in the binaries right
[18:47] <matjam> its probably storing that somewhere in gconf
[18:47] <matjam> or gsettings
[18:47] <matjam> or whatever its called these days
[18:47] <matjam> so I'd look at documentation for those things, and look at where they look for defaults
[20:27] <CountryfiedLinux> howdy
[20:27] <CountryfiedLinux> Is there a way to enable "natural scrolling" with the mouse?
[20:27] <CountryfiedLinux> For the mouse
