| guiverc | providing your Ubuntu_MATE release maybe help (I don't recall the MATE versions for each Ubuntu MATE release for example) ; MATE 1.26 appears to be from Ubuntu MATE 21.10 which is now EOL | 00:11 |
|---|---|---|
| guiverc | https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-impish-indri-final-release/ | 00:12 |
| Ark74 | guiverc: is an LTS | 00:40 |
| Ark74 | 22.04 | 00:41 |
| guiverc | MATE 1.26.1 then if you check | 00:42 |
| Ark74 | sorry, I might skipped the .1 | 01:05 |
| alkisg | Ark74: run it from a terminal and see if it produces any error messages | 06:06 |
| Ark74 | alkisg: (mate-time-admin:1387): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 00:10:21.282: gtk_lock_button_set_permission: assertion 'GTK_IS_LOCK_BUTTON (button)' failed | 06:10 |
| alkisg | Ark74: I get that here too, even though it works fine, so that's not it | 06:11 |
| alkisg | Well next, try to run it with sudo in front | 06:11 |
| alkisg | Ah | 06:11 |
| alkisg | Before doing that: | 06:11 |
| alkisg | Try: find ~ -uid 0 | 06:11 |
| alkisg | To see if you have any root-owned files, e.g. dconf | 06:11 |
| Ark74 | one sec | 06:12 |
| Ark74 | find ~ -uid 0 return empty | 06:12 |
| Ark74 | *returns | 06:12 |
| alkisg | OK then try sudo mate-time-admin | 06:13 |
| Ark74 | can't create pid file | 06:13 |
| Ark74 | error | 06:13 |
| alkisg | OK | 06:13 |
| Ark74 | (as superuser) on the title label | 06:13 |
| alkisg | And when you run a plain `mate-time-admin`, the "Edit" button is greyed out? | 06:14 |
| Ark74 | maybe I have some service down? | 06:15 |
| Ark74 | everything is greyed out | 06:15 |
| Ark74 | ntp seems enabled | 06:15 |
| alkisg | The NTP syn and Edit buttons are supposed to be usable; the rest are supposed to be greyed out if you have ntp on | 06:15 |
| alkisg | So if you have ntp on, you can only change the timezone, not the time, as it's synced from the internet | 06:16 |
| Ark74 | yeah no I can't change the timezone | 06:16 |
| alkisg | And that's what you want to change? | 06:17 |
| alkisg | If so, you can change it from /etc/timezone | 06:17 |
| alkisg | systemd-wide, for all users | 06:17 |
| Ark74 | http://ark.switnet.org/tmp/mate-time-admin.png | 06:19 |
| Ark74 | well, yeah I guess that's possible | 06:20 |
| * alkisg uploaded an image: (39KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/taJgjqJJFvTbceQjWwcCgCIe/mate-time-admin.png > | 06:20 | |
| alkisg | That's what I see, which I consider is "normal" | 06:20 |
| alkisg | You might be missing some dbus service; does the problem still happen after a reboot? | 06:21 |
| Ark74 | yeah | 06:21 |
| alkisg | And you're logged in locally, not over VNC etc, right? | 06:21 |
| Ark74 | you are running too, systemd-timesyncd, right? | 06:22 |
| Ark74 | yeah | 06:22 |
| alkisg | Yes, as part of the default installation, I didn't touch anything related to time | 06:22 |
| alkisg | Ubuntu MATE 22.04 | 06:23 |
| Ark74 | I was looking at ntp, thinking that could solve it but no | 06:23 |
| Ark74 | I'll make a diff on my instalation and the livecd | 06:23 |
| alkisg | dpkg -l | grep ntp ==> empty | 06:23 |
| Ark74 | maybe I removed something needed :P | 06:23 |
| alkisg | Also try creating a new user, to see if the problem is in /home/username or in /etc | 06:23 |
| Ark74 | yeah, I'll try that too | 06:24 |
| Ark74 | the other user can't open mate-time-admin | 06:27 |
| Ark74 | can't create pid file | 06:27 |
| alkisg | Even after rebooting and logging in with the new user, without running anything as the old one? | 06:29 |
| alkisg | Also add them to the sudo group | 06:30 |
| Ark74 | alkisg: somehow I managed to remove policykit-desktop-privileges | 06:52 |
| Ark74 | that was my issue | 06:52 |
| Ark74 | thank you very much for walking me through | 06:53 |
