coolAyanamiHello. Good morning!16:05
diogenes_hi16:05
coolAyanamiI love MATE the most out of every official Ubuntu distro out there16:06
coolAyanamiAlthough this time around, when installing the graphics drivers, I'm getting a problem...more unique to MATE.16:07
alkisg...what problem?16:10
coolAyanamiTwo actually...but the important one first...16:13
coolAyanamiThe first is that every time I reboot my computer the refresh rate falls back down and I have to manually set it back up again.16:14
coolAyanamiThe native resolution is 1080p, and the NVIDIA X settings recognizes that in "auto," but for some reason refresh rate is tied to that also.16:15
alkisgAh, proprietary drivers, I don't use those16:40
coolAyanamilol16:40
coolAyanamiI game a lot, so I HAD to install them16:40
alkisgI don't think nvidia drivers are at all "unique to mate" though...16:48
alkisgThe desktop environment doesn't manage those; they come with their own utility16:49
coolAyanamiIt didn't do that with Kubuntu when I used it. Or regular Ubuntu.16:50
coolAyanamiOh, I meant like this problem of resetting itself I've just encountered in 18.04 MATE16:50
alkisgwhat's the output of `xrandr` and what's in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?16:51
coolAyanamiSeems like I don't have the xorg.conf file16:55
coolAyanamiHow would you get the system to create it?16:59
alkisgNormally it's not needed, but the nvidia drivers used to create it17:01
alkisgI'm not certain if that's still the case17:01
alkisgAlso you didn't paste the output of xrandr17:01
alkisgFinally, what's the output of: lspci -nn -k | grep -A 3 VGA17:02
alkisgThis will tell use if you're using the binary driver or not17:02
coolAyanami01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1080] [10de:1b80] (rev a1)17:03

coolAyanami(How do you get the output of xrandr?)17:03
alkisgxrandr | nc termbin.com 999917:03
alkisgThis will automatically put it to pastebin, tell us the URL17:04
alkisgIt seems like you're using the nvidia drivers17:04
alkisgSo if you don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf, well,it seems it's not needed anymore17:04
coolAyanamiJust before I do so, what personal info about me will it paste?17:06
alkisg...your display resolutions17:07
coolAyanamihttp://termbin.com/nvx517:09
alkisgOK, so, it says 1920x1080, with 60 refresh the default, and 144 the selected17:10
alkisg(isn't that too high btw?)17:10
alkisgAnd what's the issue, that it doesn't remember the 144?17:10
coolAyanamiYeah, it doesn't remember the 144Hz17:12
enydone17:12
coolAyanami(144 is kinda standard for gaming, idk)17:13
enyi did 'sudo apt-get install chromium-browser' to install chromuim, is this right17:13
alkisgeny, sounds about right, yes17:13
enycool17:14
alkisgcoolAyanami: and what's in your ~/.config/monitors.xml ?17:14
alkisgcat ~/.config/monitors.xml | nc termbin.com 999917:14
coolAyanamihttp://termbin.com/43q917:14
alkisgSee the name there isn't correct17:15
alkisg      <output name="DVI-D-1">17:15
alkisgWhile in your xrandr output it's 017:15
alkisgGo again to the display settings and set it correctly,and see that it writes 0there17:16
enyits been going for about 10 mins17:17
alkisgeny: give us the context and the output. E.g .is this a raspberry or a pc? do you have a slow network? etc17:18
coolAyanamiNot sure how to do that. Both regular system settings and NVIDIA system settings have it set as DVI-D-017:19
alkisgcoolAyanami: just save the settings and check if they write them correctly17:19
alkisgIf not, try editing the file with an editor17:19
enyrasberry pi and bad wifi17:20
enyso yeah17:20
enyits moving slowly17:20
enythe output is 29% [2 chromium-browser 12.4 MB/45.0 MB 28%]17:20
enynow 32%17:21
alkisgeny, just a bad network then17:21
enyok17:21
coolAyanamiAdding "#" allows for writing comments in an xml, right?17:23
alkisgAFAIK no17:24
alkisgMaybe <!-- -->17:24
coolAyanamiOK, let me restart my computer17:27
coolAyanamiChanging the monitors.xml files didn't work.17:35
coolAyanamiI changed the line to say <output name="DVI-D-0">17:36
alkisgSounds like two bugs then, you'd need to file bug reports about them17:38
enyi have install chromium but when i do 'chromium-browser' the window dosn't open17:39
alkisgDo you see any errors?17:40
enynever mind it just took a bit17:40
enysorry for wasting ur time17:40
coolAyanamiWhere do I file a bug report?17:41
enyidk17:43
coolAyanami...specific to Ubuntu MATE? Or would I have to file to regular Ubuntu?17:44
alkisgSpecific to MATE, to its monitor settings dialog17:44
coolAyanamiRight here? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate17:46
coolAyanamiSeems I would need an account17:46
alkisgYes, to report bugs to either launchpad or github you need an account17:47
coolAyanamiOK17:47
coolAyanamiWell, thanks for now alkisg!17:47
alkisgnp17:48
enydoes ubuntu-mate have an app-center or something like that18:14
Mikaelaeny, I think that would be software boutique from control panel?18:15
enyit is not but theres something like it on Welcome18:17
sixwheeledbeast^boutique disappeared for me on upgrade to bionic, not that i used it.18:23
Mikaelasixwheeledbeast^, Did you follow "Get the Ubuntu MATE snaps" from near bottom of https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-bionic-final-release/ ?18:28
sixwheeledbeast^I don't use snaps.18:30
alkisgeny, I'm using "sudo apt install synaptic" <== that one18:36
alkisgIt's been stable over the last years, while all the other software centers try to innovate and just dont work18:37
