| DocMors | the brightness applet isn't | 19:35 |
|---|---|---|
| DocMors | working on my 18.04.5 mate, any suggestions? | 19:36 |
| alkisg | Sometimes this is a kernel issue, not an applet issue. If brightness keys were never working in your ...laptop? I would then try with a live 20.04.2 CD to see if the newer kernel can handle it | 19:42 |
| DocMors | alkisg, found a little app that works charm. find it here https://learnubuntumate.weebly.com/brightness-controller.html | 19:44 |
| DocMors | the rgb part is another nice feature | 19:45 |
| Mekaneck | DocMors: Ubuntu Mate 18.04 is EOL since end of April | 20:05 |
| Mekaneck | time to upgrade | 20:05 |
| sixwheeledbeast | er 2023 it's an LTS | 20:07 |
| sixwheeledbeast | !eol | 20:08 |
| Mekaneck | sixwheeledbeast: again, only main Ubuntu LTS is supported for 5 years, all other flavours with LTS 3 years | 20:08 |
| Mekaneck | Thus support for Ubuntu MATE, Xubuntu, Kubuntu etc. 18.04 has ended | 20:10 |
| sixwheeledbeast | thought this was #ubuntu sorry | 20:11 |
| Mekaneck | no problem | 20:12 |
| DocMors | it still say VERSION="18.04.5 LTS (Bionic Beaver)" in /etc/os-release | 20:15 |
| Mekaneck | still, desktopwise, it's not supported anymore | 20:17 |
| Mekaneck | switch to a supported version, 20.04 LTS or 21.04 (only supported for 7 more months) | 20:18 |
| DocMors | gonna sit out till 22.04 | 20:23 |
| DocMors | this keyboard drives me nuts, it's missing full words | 20:23 |
| sixwheeledbeast | why? | 20:25 |
| Mekaneck | why wait until 22.04? Makes no sense to me | 20:33 |
| Mekaneck | if you want to keep using Ubuntu MATE 18.04 don't expect to get support for it | 20:34 |
| DocMors | Mekaneck, I'll life | 21:14 |
| DocMors | hmm even live | 21:15 |
