[01:00] <zette> hi, i have a problem. i just installed ubuntu mate, but when i want to play a music with rhytmbox, but it is no sound, how to fix it?
[16:41] <JimD> hello, used to get on freenode for Mint channels, got an Ethernet noob question
[16:44] <JimD> if two Linux computers are successfully linked with one Ethernet cable, and one is on Internet via a USB tether to a smartphone, will the other computer typically have Internet access too?
[16:45] <DonkeyHotei> it can, if the tethered one shares its connection
[16:45] <JimD> thanks, I can probably figure that out :-)
[16:51] <JimD> the whole Ubuntu, Gnome 2, Unity, Mint rebellion, Ubuntu Gnome 3, Ubuntu MATE history was fascinating to watch play out
[16:53] <JimD> I still think Gnome 2/MATE is *the* most user friendly welcome mat for newly-arrived Windows Muggles
[16:54] <vkareh> thankfully it was MATE the one that emerged victorious, and GNOME 3/Shell only exists in the memory of a few...
[16:55] <JimD> kind of like Canonical's New Coke, would you say? ;)
[16:56] <vkareh> haha something like that :P
[16:56] <vkareh> oh well, one can dream - but a lot of improvements in MATE are yanked straight from GNOME, so they do the dirty work and we just copy/paste it
[16:57] <JimD> I loved it that even Torvalds disliked Gnome 3 at first
[16:58] <vkareh> what is he using these days? I think he was a KDE user a while ago
[16:59] <JimD> well thanks for the Ethernet answer folks, gtg
[16:59] <vkareh> bye then
