[02:57] <johnjay> hey, i just installed ubuntu mate 16.04 onto my raspi and it wants me to install a software center?
[02:57] <johnjay> is that right?
[02:57] <johnjay> that doesn't make sense to me so i just went to the command line and typed sudo apt install
[06:11] <duoi> hey
[06:11] <duoi> can anyone recommend anything for having the top bar on multiple monitors?
[09:00] <sixwheeledbeast> cim209: there is a new greeter in 18.04. try setting up your wallpaper again in System Prefs.
[09:00] <cim209> sixwheeledbeast, i'll try
[09:01] <cim209> sixwheeledbeast, btw system preferences is a macOS thing
[09:01] <sixwheeledbeast> duoi: Never done multi monitors but can you not add a new panel to each monitor?
[09:02] <sixwheeledbeast> cim209: System > Preferences > Look and Feel if you are being pedantic ;)
[09:03] <cim209> this is mate
[09:03] <sixwheeledbeast> I had exactly the same moving from 17.10 to 18.04
[09:05] <cim209> sixwheeledbeast, https://imgur.com/JVY0G0O i've tried all those settings
[09:05] <cim209> nothing there about logins
[09:06] <sixwheeledbeast> lightdm-settings is package IIRC
[09:06] <sixwheeledbeast> Seems it may also be under Administration > Login Window too?
[09:08] <sixwheeledbeast> The lightdm settings window you have in your screenshot looks like the old one from 17.10
[09:30] <cim209> sixwheeledbeast, did you get my message?
[09:30] <cim209> my wifi just dropped
[09:36] <sixwheeledbeast> nope
[11:22] <duoi> sixwheeledbeast, no idea
[11:22] <duoi> this is my first day on MATE
[11:22] <duoi> evaluating suitability to throw on my new laptop for work
[11:22] <duoi> so im installing it at home
[11:23] <duoi> how would i add a new panel to the second monitor?
[11:24] <sixwheeledbeast> try adding panels and using MATE Tweak to find a panel layout you like. Right click add new panel.
[11:25] <duoi> ive looked over the Tweak tool but i cant find an option for a second panel on a second monitor
[11:32] <duoi> wait, i figured it out
[11:32] <duoi> thank you
[11:48] <nerdypauldapps> Hey guys, I am new to the community
[11:59] <sixwheeledbeast> duoi: np
[12:02] <nerdypauldapps> Are there any mentors around that could help me get started :)
[12:30] <sixwheeledbeast> Wiki and the UM website are helpful for newbies. IRC is generally for a specific question
[12:30] <sixwheeledbeast> !ask
[12:30] <ubottu> Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience
[17:44] <m4t> anyone ever seen lightdm freeze at the login screen background after logging in? cursor is frozen too. everything loads but nothing is displayed until i switch from x->console->x
[17:44] <m4t> i was hoping it was something simple like the recent x11 library upgrades, but it's still happening after downgrading :/
[18:53] <m4t> huh, seems something with my xorg.conf (which i've used in its current incarnation since i switched to 18.04 in april)
[18:54] <m4t> removing xorg.conf = instant desktop ;(
