[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
[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 ;(
