| Lebela | hi | 02:32 |
| yukiup | hi | 02:33 |
| sers | hi | 02:33 |
| Lebela | Does anyone know, why the speeding up gets ignored in ffmpeg? | 02:33 |
| Lebela | ffmpeg -i out6.mp4 -r 30 -filter:v "setpts=0.20*PTS" -vf "ass=subtitles.ass" -vf "eq=saturation=1.4,curves=preset=darker" -preset ultrafast -crf 10 -an -pix_fmt yuv420p out12.mp4 | 02:33 |
| Lebela | "setpts=0.20*PTS" should be doing the speeding up | 02:34 |
| Lebela | it works when it's a "standalone" argument passed into ffmpeg | 02:34 |
| Lebela | but the moment it gets combined with other filters (e.g. saturation, curves) the speeding up simply gets ignored | 02:34 |
| sarnold | Lebela: I never put much effort into figuring out the ffmpeg filters, but I think filter placement matters -- try moving it around in the command line | 02:38 |
| Lebela | sarnold, moving them around is what I have tried for hours | 02:39 |
| Lebela | sarnold, coming here is my last, desperate way of crying for help | 02:39 |

| lilgopher | should I install docker with apt? | 03:15 |
| lilgopher | I just installed Ubuntu server in my raspberry pi and I have no idea how to proceed to install docker. I love how upgrading packages with apt upgrade is so convenient | 03:16 |
| sarnold | it looks like it gets periodic updates https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docker.io/+publishinghistory | 03:17 |
| lilgopher | docker.io seems like a weird name, I expected to do sudo apt install docker | 03:18 |
| lilgopher | apparently if you do "sudo apt install docker" you install docker and wmdocker | 03:19 |
| lilgopher | but what I want is docker.io | 03:19 |
| kostkon | lilgopher snal version works ok as well | 03:20 |
| kostkon | snap* even | 03:20 |
| sarnold | 'docker' was already taken by a different tool, see the screenshot on https://icculus.org/openbox/2/docker/ | 03:20 |
| lilgopher | what is the difference between apt and snap? | 03:20 |
| JackFrost | It's not the only one though, testssl.sh is another (great) package with a bit of a weird name. | 03:20 |
| lilgopher | oh, thanks sarnold | 03:20 |
| sarnold | ... in much the same way, the 'snap' name was already taken for genomic research tools https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snap | 03:22 |
| sarnold | apparently everyone wants the same dozen names | 03:22 |
| JackFrost | Netplan too. | 03:22 |
| sarnold | I think I've seen three different things named "ubuntu core".. | 03:22 |
| sarnold | right! | 03:22 |
| lilgopher | and why is there some apparently popular apps that are not in apt? for example starship: https://starship.rs/guide/#🚀-installation | 03:29 |
| lilgopher | is it less popular than I think it is? | 03:29 |
| sarnold | lilgopher: ubuntu gets something like 99.9% of packages from debian; getting new packages into debian isn't the easiest task | 03:32 |
| sarnold | lilgopher: and getting new developers into debian isn't the easiest task.. | 03:32 |
| lilgopher | interesting | 03:32 |
| sarnold | lilgopher: so, debian's mostly composed of packages that debian maintainers use, and they only use stuff that's packaged, so there's not a lot of pressure to get shiny *new* things into debian | 03:32 |
| jhutchins | There have to be people who are interested in the package, interested in developing packages for Ubuntu, and possibly interested in developing packages for Debian. | 03:33 |
| jhutchins | lilgopher: You can always build it yourself. If you get good at it, you can submit a package for consideration. | 03:33 |
| jhutchins | A package may be great, but if it's of no interest to developers it'll never go anywhere. | 03:34 |
| lilgopher | and is there an official website for packages where I can see the most used ones? | 03:39 |

| ayrus | Hi, what would be best way to give remote desktop access to multiple users in ubuntu server? I have already installed the desktop, and tried with VNC Server, it's working. Is there another way? | 08:04 |
| lundmar | The recent kernel security update 5.13.0-28-lowlatency made my Ubuntu 22.10 unstable and crashy. The input devices starts to lag and then finally the desktop freezes and I have to restart. Booting with the previous kernel and everything works fine. What is up with that? | 08:45 |

| Frost | instead search in google sync rythmbox to usb | 11:00 |
| cbreak | if it is recognized, then check lsblk next. The device should show up as block device there. | 11:00 |
| cbreak | it should also tell you which partitions are on it, and with which file systems | 11:00 |
| gebbione | Frost, it is the same approach. It is not playlist specific. It is cool and better than nothing but it is only a drag and drop approach where you need to know manually what you have moved on the usb drive. | 11:01 |
| Sunrise | I don't think the computer is seeing it. It's seeing my other usb stick and my hard drive, I think? | 11:07 |

| sloth_on_meth | hi there, why is my chmod never persistent? | 12:10 |
| sloth_on_meth | i keep having to chmod folders after rebooting | 12:10 |
| sloth_on_meth | because applications cannot access their files | 12:10 |
| goddard | it is persistent unless you are trying to make changes and it is read only or something | 12:14 |
| sloth_on_meth | i literally have to chmod a+rw -R my shit every time i reboot | 12:15 |
| sloth_on_meth | lol | 12:15 |
| goddard | sounds kind of funky | 12:15 |
| goddard | why would you do that any way? | 12:15 |
| sloth_on_meth | because my apps cant access their files | 12:15 |
| goddard | what directory are we talking about? | 12:16 |
| goddard | inside your home directory? | 12:16 |
| sloth_on_meth | . /docker/app , basically. every app has a subfolder of /docker | 12:16 |
| goddard | ahh docker | 12:16 |
| goddard | i think the docker user is 1000 if i remmeber right | 12:17 |
| sloth_on_meth | yeah but if i do a+rw and then reboot it dont work | 12:17 |
| sloth_on_meth | lol | 12:17 |
| sloth_on_meth | i have a script in my startup that chmods all the folders i need | 12:17 |
| goddard | i use docker compose and i have never had to do what you are doing | 12:17 |
| Frost | ok then it works | 12:17 |
| goddard | sounds like a mis-configuration | 12:18 |
| sloth_on_meth | misconfiguration of ubuntu? idek | 12:18 |
| goddard | depends on how you are communicating | 12:18 |
| goddard | first you should never need to set rw on all | 12:19 |
| goddard | second if your user is set properly whne you boot the docker image it should just work with its mounts | 12:19 |
| sloth_on_meth | long story short: i run about 50 applications through docker compose. everytime i reboot, folder permissions change, and my apps cant access their files. | 12:20 |
| sloth_on_meth | what exactly do you mean by 'if your user is set properly'? | 12:20 |
| goddard | docker has a root user | 12:20 |
| goddard | that user is 1000 i think | 12:20 |
| goddard | the id | 12:21 |
| goddard | so chown normaluser:dockerUser | 12:21 |
| goddard | or something | 12:21 |
| goddard | but on ubuntu | 12:21 |
| sloth_on_meth | will tryy | 12:21 |
| goddard | one of the first steps is adding your user to the docker group | 12:21 |
| goddard | so you don't need to run docker as root | 12:22 |
| sloth_on_meth | eh | 12:22 |
| sloth_on_meth | i run everything as root | 12:22 |
| sloth_on_meth | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 12:22 |
| sloth_on_meth | (i know this is a bad idea) | 12:22 |
| goddard | not the way it is dont on ubuntu | 12:22 |
| tuxinator | Hmm, does somebody know how the connection logics on Landscape-Server are? Do the clients need to connect to the server or the server to the Client or both? | 12:22 |
| goddard | this is probably why your permissions are messed up | 12:22 |
| sloth_on_meth | well, it;s either run everything as userID 0 and have it work, or run it as userid 1000 and have to chmod | 12:23 |
| goddard | groups | 12:23 |
| sloth_on_meth | but i also understand i am giving you like 0 useful info here | 12:23 |
| sloth_on_meth | xD | 12:23 |
| goddard | you need to learn about groups | 12:23 |
| goddard | super nice feature | 12:23 |
| sloth_on_meth | mhm' | 12:23 |
| sloth_on_meth | everyday im googlin | 12:24 |
| goddard | ya me too | 12:26 |
| goddard | except i use brave search :D | 12:26 |
| Frost | u use brave? | 12:27 |
| sloth_on_meth | well, i got called into work so i'll look into it another time. thanks for the help so far | 12:27 |
| kostkon | sloth_on_meth those are bind mounts I'm guessing | 12:27 |
| goddard | i use firefox mostly, but brave for search | 12:27 |
| Frost | i dont use brave search because its in beta | 12:28 |
| kostkon | too little too late | 12:28 |
| Frost | and google does results that are 99% of the time accurate | 12:28 |
| goddard | Frost: i was using bing for awhile because they pay you 5 dollars a month | 12:28 |
| Maik | Frost: can we keep the offtopic chatter out of the support channel please? Thanks in advance | 12:28 |
| Frost | Maik : sure | 12:28 |
| Frost | I also need help | 12:29 |
| Frost | I installed a flatpak (Index FM) and it runs as root always | 12:29 |
| Maik | we don't support flatpak here afaik | 12:29 |
| Frost | And i hate it because its light theme | 12:29 |
| Frost | I run Ubuntu MATE (i think doesnt matter) 20.04.3 | 12:30 |
| Maik | you installed a package from outside the official repo's so you're basically on your own | 12:30 |
| Maik | ask for support from the index fm devs | 12:31 |
| Frost | Index FM devs are kde devs i think | 12:32 |
| Maik | then ask there | 12:32 |
| Frost | or nitrux devs | 12:32 |
| Frost | it may be an ubuntu issue | 12:32 |
| Maik | no need to continue about it, ask them instead | 12:32 |
| Maik | if index fm isn't in the official ubuntu repo's and you installed it from elsewhere it's totally at your own risk Frost. | 12:34 |
| Maik | no need to blame Ubuntu for that if it doesn't work | 12:34 |
| Frost | Maik : its by kde dont worry | 12:34 |
| Maik | well then | 12:34 |
| Frost | and its on flathub | 12:34 |
| Maik | which we do not support | 12:34 |
| Maik | this is a ubuntu support channel, not flatpak | 12:35 |
| Frost | im in #kde | 12:35 |
| Maik | good | 12:35 |

| ueberall | Hi. Is there a way to express the equivalent of "/sbin/ethtool -s eth0 wol ug" in a Netplan .yaml file? "wakeonlan: true" didn't reliably work during tests (explicitly executing "netplan apply" after boot worked "somewhat", but it would only change 'd'->'g', not 'ug') on Ubuntu Focal. | 16:16 |
| ueberall | (A workaround was to create a "oneshot" service wol.service which executed the above ethtool command at boot time, but shouldn't Netplan be able to do the same?) | 16:17 |
| ubuntunewbi | hi all, since some days i'm in trouble. Running a Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Can't work with apt anymore and getting Error:Â "Error reading the CPU table". Already copied cputable to usr/share/dpkg from running stable server, but it didn't help... any thread for this or somebody having the same problem? best regards | 16:26 |

| ueberall | ubuntunewbi: Are you "only" new to Ubuntu and do you have experience with another .deb based distribution? In the latter case, I'd suggest to boot from a LiveCD and force a reinstallation of dpkg, apt. | 16:33 |
| ueberall | I've never experienced said error message, but maybe this helps after you temporarily back up the original files in question first? --> https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/243770#code-11 | 16:33 |

| VadimP | How can I stop Alt+` from opening up the window switcher? This particular shortcut does not show up in keybinding settings and I would like to turn it off. | 17:01 |
| ioria | and 'bionic' is not a valid release ... ok | 17:01 |
| VadimP | It's overriding an in-game shortcut that I need to use and cannot change | 17:02 |
| lotuspsychje | !hotkeys | VadimP | 17:02 |
| ubottu | VadimP: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/ - See !Keyboard for changing layouts. A list of keyboard shortcuts for Unity is available at http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=2209015&seqNum=3 | 17:02 |
| lotuspsychje | VadimP: see also gnome systemsettings/hotkey or dconf-editor to tweak them | 17:02 |
| ueberall | ubuntunewbi: That's a bit "old". I created a container using "lxc launch ubuntu:18.04 test; lxc shell test", destroyed /usr/share/dpkg/cputable and saw the same error as you. Renaming the file and creating a new, empty one (touch /usr/share/dpkg/cputable) allowed me to reinstall dpkg using "apt install --reinstall dpkg". In your case, the last command may fail due to outdated indexes before "apt update". | 17:02 |
| VadimP | Yeah it doesn't show up in keyboard shortcuts | 17:03 |
| VadimP | Where in dconf-editor would I be looking? | 17:03 |
| ioria | ubuntunewbi, also dpkg has a wrong version; you have 1.19.0.5ubuntu2 but current on 18.04 is 1.19.0.5ubuntu2.3 | 17:04 |
| lotuspsychje | VadimP: dconf editor has a search function, try hotkey as keyword | 17:04 |
| ubuntunewbi | ioria don't know... uff... seems like a big problem, right? | 17:05 |
| lotuspsychje | ubuntunewbi: behind updates? | 17:05 |
| ubuntunewbi | ueberall tried your way, but you are right - leads to same error... | 17:05 |
| ubuntunewbi | lotuspsychje jep... far behind... | 17:05 |
| lotuspsychje | !uptodate | ubuntunewbi | 17:06 |
| ubottu | ubuntunewbi: To ensure you have all the latest known patches and security updates for your ubuntu installation, please update with the following command: `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`. See also !upgrades and !security; you may also need to run `apt full-upgrade`. | 17:06 |

| VadimP | I don't find it in dconf-editor | 17:06 |
| VadimP | Ah, both Super+` and Alt+` did the same thing but it showed up as Super+` in keyboard shortcuts. Disabling it worked. | 17:07 |
| ubuntunewbi | ioria wtf, it's doing things!  don't know which one helped, but apt seems to work again | 17:07 |
| VadimP | Confusing | 17:07 |
| ioria | ubuntunewbi, we did nothing | 17:07 |
| ubuntunewbi | ioria uhm... just recreated empty cputable and tupletable -> running "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" seems to work | 17:09 |

| nemo | howdy folks... I'm trying to debug a CIFS error. One of our servers, and only one, gives me a -126 error code invalid key when mounting using cifs. smbclient to that server works fine. This is with Ubuntu 20.04 HWE kernel | 18:02 |
| Tach | Hi guys, in the past I was running my own repo's for Ubuntu, just copies under repo.company.tld/ubuntu... now I'm wondering what todo with download.docker.com. Can I put that under /docker in a sane way ? | 18:05 |
| leftyfb | Tach: that has nothing to do with Ubuntu. Try #docker | 18:06 |
| sarnold | nemo: maybe related, maybe not: ENOKEY 126 Required key not available | 18:06 |
| Tach | leftyfb depends, I was using the Ubuntu repo copy tool for it | 18:06 |
| Tach | need to check what it was | 18:06 |
| leftyfb | Tach: no. You're asking about the directory structure and format of a docker repo. Try #docker | 18:07 |
| Tach | leftyfb whatever you want... | 18:07 |
| Tach | but not because of you ;) | 18:08 |
| nemo | sarnold: yeah. that's the error I get. but going further than that, no idea. The ubuntu is 5.13 kernel. my personal development machine, devuan chimaera w/ 5.14 kernel mounts the same machine just fine. | 18:14 |
| nemo | sarnold: note, this machine is one of those annoying custom hardware file servers, and when mounted in Devuan, I get "FS-Cache: Duplicate cookie detected errors | 18:14 |
| nemo | s/detected/detected"/ | 18:14 |
| nemo | I'm just kinda running out of ideas on what to try on why this might be only Ubuntu specific | 18:14 |
| jhutchins | nemo: I'd probably dig a little further before trying anything, but you might purge all of the CIFS client files, make sure you clean up any hidden keys and ids, purge any reference to that workstation from the server's records and try again from scratch. | 18:18 |
| nemo | jhutchins: so... purge references to the erroring ubuntu machine from the windows file share appliance server's records? | 18:21 |
| nemo | jhutchins: BTW, the reason we are on HWE 5.13 was because there's a pretty bad CIFS bug that was causing reliable kernel panics in 5.4 - we were testing this in our test env to see if 5.13 at least no longer panicked against this windows server. it's not panicking, but then, it's not mounting either ☺ | 18:22 |
| nemo | jhutchins: (we'd foudn some details on patching it for opensuse, but not ubuntu) | 18:22 |
| nemo | jhutchins: so... I do think this server is doing something weird. maybe it's working in devuan 5.14 simply due to new code in cifs module ☹ | 18:23 |
| jhutchins | nemo: My superstitious guess would be that the failures due to the previous bug corrupted a key file on the server. | 18:24 |
| sarnold | nemo: hah, I wonder if this error message *is* the panic that you were seeing before.. | 18:24 |
| jhutchins | nemo: Did you go throgh the process of joining the machine to the CIFS network after the update? I think that's where the key is generated. | 18:25 |
| nemo | sarnold: I'd have to dig up the panic again, but it seems related to CIFS badly handling disconnects | 18:25 |
| nemo | sarnold: we even get it on well-behaved servers | 18:26 |
| nemo | jhutchins: none of these machines are joined to the domain or using kerberos | 18:26 |

| leftyfb | thunder: did you du the file before dd'ing it? | 20:14 |
| thunder | yes. it said 1GB as expected | 20:15 |
| thunder | only shows 2GB after using dd | 20:15 |

| thunder | leftyfb: I've already confirmed it can't be replicated on my other box (running mint with ext4), and another helpful fellow in the arch channel similarly couldn't replicate. so it must be something weird about my system. I'm not sure where to start to diagnose though | 20:18 |
| leftyfb | so not sure if this is an xfs thing or a silly VPS shared storage/custom kernel thing | 20:18 |
| thunder | yeah. I'm wondering how to query the block size. that seems to be a possible place to start | 20:19 |
| thunder | but I'm not that well versed in fs related stuff tbh | 20:19 |
| sarnold | thunder: does it stay 2G consistently for a while afterwards? | 20:19 |
| sarnold | thunder: are there snapshots that might track multiuple versions of the file? | 20:20 |
| thunder | yes. it will always say 2x whatever the intended size was | 20:20 |
| thunder | so if I create a 2gb file, it ends up being 4gb, and so on | 20:20 |
| thunder | no. I just create the file as in the above examples. it seems to be a direct result of using dd to zero it out | 20:21 |

| thunder | no idea | 20:22 |

| sarnold | hrmph. an mdraid ext3? ext4? filesystem I've got showed the 'expected' 1G.. even though I kinda expected 2G ;) | 20:23 |
| leftyfb | sarnold: it's xfs on a VPS. There's no telling what the block storage is actually on | 20:24 |
| thunder | sudo: lshw: command not found | 20:24 |
| sarnold | leftyfb: yeah... or if 'du' would pass that through. I know it does on zfs .. | 20:24 |
| leftyfb | thunder: install it | 20:24 |
| sarnold | I wonder if it's backed by a zfs? | 20:24 |
| thunder | k. 1 sec | 20:24 |
| leftyfb | xfs on top of zfs ... gross | 20:25 |
| leftyfb | thunder: this is storage is abstracted multiple times, I don't think you're going to get much performance out of xfs. Why bother with it? | 20:25 |
| thunder | I didn't set it up that way. it was a prefab image provided by the isp. I haven't had any issue with it til now when trying to add a larger swap file to get around oom reaper killing off some important stuff like freshclam and IDE stuff | 20:27 |
| thunder | from lshw: https://termbin.com/tpbc | 20:28 |

| EriC^ | thunder: so that's correct | 20:33 |
| thunder | yeah | 20:33 |
| thunder | weird | 20:33 |
| bunjee | I'm still learning this Linux OS - I have Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS is there a certain way to logout? | 20:33 |
| thunder | logout from what? the window manager? | 20:34 |
| EriC^ | thunder: it's due to 'holes' in the file, fragmentation, etc | 20:34 |
| EriC^ | thunder: du -b should show the actual data on the file, whereas du -h is showing the disk usage | 20:34 |
| thunder | EriC^: is there any harm in that? or a way to defrag the file maybe? | 20:35 |
| bunjee | thunder - what is 1073741824? | 20:35 |
| EriC^ | thunder: no i dont think it's harmful | 20:36 |
| thunder | sorry bunjee. that was intended for EriC^. I tagged you by accident | 20:36 |
| thunder | EriC^: what would cause that? is it a mismatch of the filesystem block size? | 20:36 |
| bunjee | thunder - how do I logout and get in to another desktop? | 20:36 |
| EriC^ | bunjee: there should be a button in the top right corner to logout | 20:36 |
| EriC^ | or try pressing ctrl+alt+del it might give a menu | 20:37 |
| bunjee | thunder - I see it - I will be back later - thanks..... | 20:37 |
| EriC^ | thunder: it's normal i guess, tbh it's a huge difference though usually it's not that big, maybe it's a xfs something, or maybe cause you ran fallocate -l first on the file | 20:38 |
| EriC^ | try one without fallocate | 20:38 |
| thunder | okay. thanks | 20:38 |
| EriC^ | no problem | 20:39 |
| anddam | howdy, can I put an application in fullscreen in 18.04? GNOME is 3.28 | 20:39 |
| leftyfb | anddam: F11 | 20:39 |
| leftyfb | anddam: but only for applications that support it | 20:39 |
| EriC^ | thunder: id guess its cause of the fallocate, cause it creates a sparse file, then you filled it with dd and it just put stuff here and there | 20:40 |
| anddam | leftyfb: ofc it doesn't work | 20:42 |
| anddam | leftyfb: it's Eclipse btw | 20:42 |
| EriC^ | maybe fn+f11? | 20:42 |
| thunder | EriC^: that worked like a charm. thanks not only for helping, but also for explaining the cause. | 20:44 |
| === Apachez- is now known as Apachez | ||
| anddam | EriC^: that would just be the underlaying media key, wouldn't it? | 20:47 |
| anddam | yep, volume down | 20:47 |
| anddam | brilliantly detected by GNOME | 20:47 |
| anddam | I am specifically wondering if I can reduce that space https://i.ibb.co/6JnJvL0/fullscreen-detail.jpg by placing menus in the GNOME bar, IIRC it was a thing on GNOME | 20:48 |
| anddam | I also wouldn't mind hiding the left gutter (dock, or whatever its proper name is) | 20:49 |
| ioria | anddam, dbus-send --session --type=method_call --dest=org.gnome.Shell /org/gnome/Shell org.gnome.Shell.Eval string:'Main.overview.dash.hide();' abit long , i know | 20:52 |
| anddam | ioria: seemingly no effect at all | 20:58 |
| anddam | that should have done the trick at runtime, right? | 20:58 |
| anddam | no restart of the apps | 20:58 |
| anddam | or the session | 20:58 |
| ioria | anddam, ah, 3.28 shell | 20:58 |
| ioria | anddam, try this : gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.Shell --object-path /org/gnome/Shell --method org.gnome.Shell.Eval 'Main.overview.dash.visible' | 20:59 |
| anddam | should that visible be set to false or the like? | 21:01 |
| ioria | anddam, should be : true, true | 21:01 |
| anddam | (false, 'TypeError: Main.overview.dash is undefined') | 21:02 |
| ioria | the output, i mean | 21:02 |
| ioria | anddam, ok, it's another shell ver, sorry | 21:02 |
| anddam | that's ok, thanks | 21:02 |
| anddam | at least I know that's "dash" | 21:02 |
| anddam | oh https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help//stable/shell-introduction.html.en#activities | 21:02 |
| anddam | should I go this long route to get more screen estate? https://github.com/gonzaarcr/Fildem | 21:03 |
| ioria | anddam, you can always set the 'autohide' | 21:04 |
| ioria | anddam, gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock autohide true | 21:04 |
| Minvera | how can I select a window manager from login? I don't see the gear icon | 21:25 |
| Minvera | i have root access but someone else setup my ubuntu so i think it's disabled | 21:25 |
| Minvera | not sure how to enable logging into different window managers | 21:25 |
| bunjee | anyone explain how to apply a new desktop? | 21:47 |
| coz_ | bunjee, did you install one? | 21:47 |
| bunjee | coz_ - mate | 21:47 |
| coz_ | bunjee, and you are running gnome right now? | 21:48 |
| leftyfb | bunjee: 2022 Feb 01 15:31:48 <EriC^>bunjee: you should be able to select it from the login screen at the corner i guess | 21:48 |
| coz_ | bunjee, yes.. not sure where on the login screen it will be on ubuntu, but somewhere, likely lower right corner, somewhere | 21:49 |
| bunjee | coz_ - can't find it anywhere - not at the top right or the bottom left... | 21:51 |
| leftyfb | bunjee: next to the login where you type the password, or when you select your user, to the right there should be a gear or icon | 21:52 |
| bunjee | coz_ - running Ubuntu Gnome 20.04.3 focal | 21:52 |
| coz_ | bunjee, let me check, hold on | 21:52 |
| coz_ | bunjee, did you restart? sometimes may be necessary, the logon screen, look for a "gear" icon, I believe | 21:56 |
| bunjee | coz_ - yes I did restart - I will again - thanks - I might be back....... | 21:57 |
| bunjee | Still can't figure out how to get to mate desktop - anyone? | 23:00 |
| Jeremy31 | bunjee: If you installed the mate de package, it should be as simple as a log out, click gear icon, select mate | 23:01 |
| sarnold | bunjee: hit 'ubuntu flavours' link on https://ubuntu.com/download to see the different flavour options | 23:01 |
| sarnold | oh hah, clicking mate doesn't just bring you to a mate download :( | 23:02 |
| cbreak | bunjee: apt install ubuntu-mate-desktop doesn't work? | 23:07 |
| cbreak | (I think it should give you the whole DE, with all the bells and bagpipes) | 23:07 |
| cbreak | maybe apt install mate-desktop-environment-core is enough, if you only want the bare minimum | 23:08 |
| cbreak | or ubuntu-mate-core | 23:09 |
| === pasiz0 is now known as pasiz | ||
| bunjee | cbreak - I'm gonna check now.. | 23:21 |

| rdr | I should note that this is a channel for help with ubuntu, not finding a mate, if you need that you can try #ubuntu-mate | 23:54 |
| Jeremy31 | rdr: MATE is a desktop environment | 23:58 |
| rdr | sorry bad joke | 23:58 |
| Jeremy31 | rdr save the jokes for offtopic, please | 23:58 |
| rdr | why so serious | 23:58 |
| Jeremy31 | old and tired? | 23:59 |
