Go ahead and give it a try.
You will also find that they have a forum section in Spanish:
https://ubuntu-mate.community/c/multilingual/spanish
I'm in that community too:
https://ubuntu-mate.community/users/UrkoM/summary
I would suggest that you use Ubuntu MATE 16.04.2, and 64bits if your computer can do it (it probably can).

I went to ubermix because of the description I read, I also liked it's light form, and the tools that come with it.
Now, I hear your recommendation, and if you recommend this Ubuntu Mate OS for my Laptop ( acer Travelmate B115) I will surely give it a try, especially if it is more stable and better supported.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

First of all, sorry for the long time without a reply.
Second, I think using Ubermix as a private user is not such a great idea. A lot of the thought process behind Ubermix is for meeting the needs of schools.
I would recommend that you check out other Linux distributions with more active communities of users. This forum is mostly used by the IT system administrators of schools, with our own busy schedules.
What were your reasons for using Ubermix?
Lately I have recommended people Ubuntu MATE as a great option for beginners.
http://ubuntu-mate.org/
It has a tool (MATE Tweak) that can make it look like Windows, Mac, or other systems.
They also have a very healthy community of users, and a lot of them Spanish-speakers.
https://ubuntu-mate.community/
Let me know if you want some tips in that direction.

General Support / Problems on ACER Travelmate B115
« Last post by ssunkev on April 17, 2017, 08:32:16 AM »Hi to all,
I am pretty new to this, and I am an adult private user. Not a kid or a student.
I have a very average use of my computer, Internet, Music and video reproduction, and storage.
I don seem to have much of the initial reported problems with my OS like mousepad, connectivity , etc... However I have a small list of issues I would like to resolve.
First of all, the system crash. I have seen a few solutions on a previous post, but I don t know how to implement them, so I would need probably, the latest fix and how to fix it.
I also have a small issue with my keyboard, it is a spanish keyboard, and although I use the spanish layout config. I am missing the use of some accents and symbols. So I have to rely on spell check, which also doesn't really work on my gmail, for example, it doesn't switch from english to spanish.
Also, and that's quiet inconvenient. On internet, most of the time when I have to fill cases to provide information, and the case is colored, the caracter I type appear in white which makes it very hard to read and make sure of what I am writing. Is there a way to change that parameter.
My Bluetooth needs manually set up most of the time I connect a device to it ( I have 2 ) and even thouhgh it is connected, I have to switch manually the output device. Can this be improved.
And last, Once , a movie streaming web page asked me for Adobe flash plug in to run the video, and it did not seem available for this version of Linux.
Can you please, you genuises out there, help resolve these issues??
Thanks

General Support / Re: Ubermix wipes out all mounted media on boot!
« Last post by jnetman1 on April 03, 2017, 04:13:56 PM »Interesting. This shouldn't happen since rc.local should finish before automount, which means the disk shouldn't be there yet. In any event, version 3.22 fixes this, or you can just run
in generic mode and the ubermix-settings package update will fix it. Alternatively, you can replace the
with
Code: [Select]
sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade in generic mode and the ubermix-settings package update will fix it. Alternatively, you can replace the
Code: [Select]
rm -rf /media/* with
Code: [Select]
for dir in `find /media -maxdepth 2`; do
[ -z "`find $dir -type f`" ] && rm -rf $dir

General Support / Best approach to enhance the Spanish translation of Ubermix
« Last post by cesarn on March 26, 2017, 11:43:14 AM »Hello there:
Thank you very much for creating Ubermix, it is extremely useful for Kids On Computers to create computers labs in under served communities.
My name is César, and I would like to contribute by enhancing of the Spanish translation for Ubermix. What I have done is:
1. Contribute new translations to Ubuntu via Launchpad for several packages. And they are pending review. (https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+lang/es)
But now I would like to understand is how once those translations can make it back into Ubermix.
Do you have suggestions or documentation on how to do that?
Thanks
césar

General Discussion / restore
« Last post by moonshine38 on March 06, 2017, 01:28:54 PM »I set up a laptop like I want it then updated the image on the key. I can then deploy the image to another laptop. I need to use these laptops in a lab, so they will be shared. I would like to have the users logged out of their Chrome accounts on reboot. I have tried adding "aufs=restore_home" to /boot/grub/grub.cfg. That did not do it, so I tried "aufs=restore_os". That does not work. I used the directions on the wiki for auto restore, but it does not seem to work. Am I missing something?
