[04:09] <linuxliam> hi o/
[06:01] <alkisg> Hello :)
[16:05] <coolAyanami> Hello. Good morning!
[16:05] <diogenes_> hi
[16:06] <coolAyanami> I love MATE the most out of every official Ubuntu distro out there
[16:07] <coolAyanami> Although this time around, when installing the graphics drivers, I'm getting a problem...more unique to MATE.
[16:10] <alkisg> ...what problem?
[16:13] <coolAyanami> Two actually...but the important one first...
[16:14] <coolAyanami> The 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.
[16:15] <coolAyanami> The native resolution is 1080p, and the NVIDIA X settings recognizes that in "auto," but for some reason refresh rate is tied to that also.
[16:40] <alkisg> Ah, proprietary drivers, I don't use those
[16:40] <coolAyanami> lol
[16:40] <coolAyanami> I game a lot, so I HAD to install them
[16:48] <alkisg> I don't think nvidia drivers are at all "unique to mate" though...
[16:49] <alkisg> The desktop environment doesn't manage those; they come with their own utility
[16:50] <coolAyanami> It didn't do that with Kubuntu when I used it. Or regular Ubuntu.
[16:50] <coolAyanami> Oh, I meant like this problem of resetting itself I've just encountered in 18.04 MATE
[16:51] <alkisg> what's the output of `xrandr` and what's in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[16:55] <coolAyanami> Seems like I don't have the xorg.conf file
[16:59] <coolAyanami> How would you get the system to create it?
[17:01] <alkisg> Normally it's not needed, but the nvidia drivers used to create it
[17:01] <alkisg> I'm not certain if that's still the case
[17:01] <alkisg> Also you didn't paste the output of xrandr
[17:02] <alkisg> Finally, what's the output of: lspci -nn -k | grep -A 3 VGA
[17:02] <alkisg> This will tell use if you're using the binary driver or not
[17:03] <coolAyanami> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GP104 [GeForce GTX 1080] [10de:1b80] (rev a1)
[17:03] <coolAyanami> 	Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] GP104 [GeForce GTX 1080] [1462:3367]
[17:03] <coolAyanami> 	Kernel driver in use: nvidia
[17:03] <coolAyanami> 	Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia
[17:03] <alkisg> !pastebin
[17:03] <coolAyanami> (How do you get the output of xrandr?)
[17:03] <alkisg> xrandr | nc termbin.com 9999
[17:04] <alkisg> This will automatically put it to pastebin, tell us the URL
[17:04] <alkisg> It seems like you're using the nvidia drivers
[17:04] <alkisg> So if you don't have /etc/X11/xorg.conf, well,it seems it's not needed anymore
[17:06] <coolAyanami> Just before I do so, what personal info about me will it paste?
[17:07] <alkisg> ...your display resolutions
[17:09] <coolAyanami> http://termbin.com/nvx5
[17:10] <alkisg> OK, so, it says 1920x1080, with 60 refresh the default, and 144 the selected
[17:10] <alkisg> (isn't that too high btw?)
[17:10] <alkisg> And what's the issue, that it doesn't remember the 144?
[17:12] <coolAyanami> Yeah, it doesn't remember the 144Hz
[17:12] <eny> done
[17:13] <coolAyanami> (144 is kinda standard for gaming, idk)
[17:13] <eny> i did 'sudo apt-get install chromium-browser' to install chromuim, is this right
[17:13] <alkisg> eny, sounds about right, yes
[17:14] <eny> cool
[17:14] <alkisg> coolAyanami: and what's in your ~/.config/monitors.xml ?
[17:14] <alkisg> cat ~/.config/monitors.xml | nc termbin.com 9999
[17:14] <coolAyanami> http://termbin.com/43q9
[17:15] <alkisg> See the name there isn't correct
[17:15] <alkisg>       <output name="DVI-D-1">
[17:15] <alkisg> While in your xrandr output it's 0
[17:16] <alkisg> Go again to the display settings and set it correctly,and see that it writes 0there
[17:17] <eny> its been going for about 10 mins
[17:18] <alkisg> eny: give us the context and the output. E.g .is this a raspberry or a pc? do you have a slow network? etc
[17:19] <coolAyanami> Not sure how to do that. Both regular system settings and NVIDIA system settings have it set as DVI-D-0
[17:19] <alkisg> coolAyanami: just save the settings and check if they write them correctly
[17:19] <alkisg> If not, try editing the file with an editor
[17:20] <eny> rasberry pi and bad wifi
[17:20] <eny> so yeah
[17:20] <eny> its moving slowly
[17:20] <eny> the output is 29% [2 chromium-browser 12.4 MB/45.0 MB 28%]
[17:21] <eny> now 32%
[17:21] <alkisg> eny, just a bad network then
[17:21] <eny> ok
[17:23] <coolAyanami> Adding "#" allows for writing comments in an xml, right?
[17:24] <alkisg> AFAIK no
[17:24] <alkisg> Maybe <!-- -->
[17:27] <coolAyanami> OK, let me restart my computer
[17:35] <coolAyanami> Changing the monitors.xml files didn't work.
[17:36] <coolAyanami> I changed the line to say <output name="DVI-D-0">
[17:38] <alkisg> Sounds like two bugs then, you'd need to file bug reports about them
[17:39] <eny> i have install chromium but when i do 'chromium-browser' the window dosn't open
[17:40] <alkisg> Do you see any errors?
[17:40] <eny> never mind it just took a bit
[17:40] <eny> sorry for wasting ur time
[17:41] <coolAyanami> Where do I file a bug report?
[17:43] <eny> idk
[17:44] <coolAyanami> ...specific to Ubuntu MATE? Or would I have to file to regular Ubuntu?
[17:44] <alkisg> Specific to MATE, to its monitor settings dialog
[17:46] <coolAyanami> Right here? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate
[17:46] <coolAyanami> Seems I would need an account
[17:47] <alkisg> Yes, to report bugs to either launchpad or github you need an account
[17:47] <coolAyanami> OK
[17:47] <coolAyanami> Well, thanks for now alkisg!
[17:48] <alkisg> np
[18:14] <eny> does ubuntu-mate have an app-center or something like that
[18:15] <Mikaela> eny, I think that would be software boutique from control panel?
[18:17] <eny> it is not but theres something like it on Welcome
[18:23] <sixwheeledbeast^> boutique disappeared for me on upgrade to bionic, not that i used it.
[18:28] <Mikaela> sixwheeledbeast^, Did you follow "Get the Ubuntu MATE snaps" from near bottom of https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-bionic-final-release/ ?
[18:30] <sixwheeledbeast^> I don't use snaps.
[18:36] <alkisg> eny, I'm using "sudo apt install synaptic" <== that one
[18:37] <alkisg> It's been stable over the last years, while all the other software centers try to innovate and just dont work
