limbert65I've fixed the font sizes in the system menus and the window title bars, but in Mozilla and Sunbird, the menu fonts are huge, and on the desktop the icons are spaced very widely.  Don't know how to fix these.12:23
limbert65Any help appreciated.12:23
PuMpErNiCkLeJust the menu fonts?  Text in webpages renders properly?12:24
limbert65yes, the page fonts are fine, it's just the menu fonts, and only (as far as I can tell) in Firefox and Sunbird.  Not, oddly, in Thunderbird.12:25

PuMpErNiCkLeHow did you fix the font size problems in the rest of the system?12:42
limbert65Just by using the Settings Manager, under User Interface and Window manager.  Those sizes had changed to 9, and I just changed them back to 12.12:43
PuMpErNiCkLeIf you change the DPI, then the menu fonts in Firefox should return to normal.  The others would be temporarily messed up, but changing the size back would fix that.12:43
limbert65Chaning the DPI where?12:44
limbert65Changing, sorry.12:44
PuMpErNiCkLeShould be in the 'details' or 'advanced' section of the font preferences.12:45
PuMpErNiCkLeI'd check, but I'm using Gnome.12:46
limbert65You mean this setting should be somewhere in Xfce's preferences, or in Mozilla's?  I'm hunting, but I'm not finding anything.12:47
limbert65Under Mozilla, I'm finding only ways to change the page fonts, nothing about the menus.  Strange also that it's affecting Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Sunbird, but is not affecting Mozilla Thunderbird (or any other app that I can find).12:48
PuMpErNiCkLeXfce's.12:48

limbert65Yeah, I'm not finding anything.  Not finding anything helpful by googling it, either.  Found one other discussion going on of a person with the same problem, and no one knowing how to fix it either.12:54
limbert65Frustrating.12:54
limbert65Just annoying in Firefox, but it makes Sunbird unusable.  Totally screws up the page formatting.12:55
limbert65Smashes things into each other.12:55
limbert65And this happened just by inserting a CD.  System totally locked up, had to force-restart.12:55

vidd_laptopwhen is fiesty supposed to go live?12:58
limbert65k, I'll check that, thanks.12:58
limbert65So, what you're thinking I should do is change the DPI then change it back?12:59

Shaba1Anyway no04:48
Shaba1but first xunbuntu install04:48
Shaba1I am downloading the live cd now04:49
sigmamu188shaba1: are you just wanting to run it as a live cd or do you want to hard install it?04:49
Shaba1I been fighting with 3 live cd of unbuntu for 5 hours now04:49
Shaba1until someone in #unbuntu told me I did not have enough ram on my laptop04:49
Shaba1No I want to install it04:49
sigmamu188shaba1: do you have a open partition on the laptop?04:50
sigmamu188you need a non NTFS partition04:50
BFTDisn't it with ubuntu-minimal and then upgrade from within04:50
Shaba1and I NEED to be able to run grub to make a linux/xubuntu partion04:50
Shaba1just like a Edgy install04:50
BFTDinstall*04:50
sigmamu188shsab1: you cant install on NTFS partition04:50
Shaba1OH shit04:50
Shaba1damn04:50
Shaba1this is too damn hard04:51
Shaba1it just is04:51
Shaba1I mean I love what I see in linux04:51
sigmamu188NTFS is a propriety file system that linux cant write to04:51
Shaba1but this is gettin getting frustrating04:51
sigmamu188i think you can repartition with partition magic04:51
sigmamu188without losing data04:51

sigmamu188try torrentreactor04:52
sigmamu188if you dont mind cracked software04:52
sigmamu188i would ~never~ run craked software04:52
Shaba1so xunbuntu does not come with gparted?04:52
Shaba1is that correct?04:52
sigmamu188i think it dose04:52
sigmamu188but you will probably lose data04:53
Shaba1think sigmamu18804:53
Shaba1sorry not to be rude04:53
Shaba1but I am realy frustrated right about now04:53
Shaba1I need to KNOW04:53
sigmamu188i was trying to think of a windows way to do it04:53
Shaba1according to the ubuntu site I can do it from the livecD04:53
Shaba1On a livecd install it runs gparted and lets you repartion the primary hard drive04:54
sigmamu188i don't know if you can repartition without losing data from the live cd04:54
Shaba1according to the gparted site04:54
Shaba1you can resize and ntfs partition04:54

sigmamu188is that where you coming into the problem?04:55
sigmamu188just running gparted04:55
Shaba1I am coming into problems just getting install to run04:55
sigmamu188or are you trying to resize from the install screen?04:55
Shaba1on these 3 ubuntu livecds I have04:56
sigmamu188at the select partition to install?04:56
Shaba1I never get that far04:56
sigmamu188how far do you get?04:56
Shaba1farthest I have gotten is the Where are you located screen and then the desktop locks up and the mouse does not respong04:56
Shaba1and I have to reboot04:57
sigmamu188did you checkmedia before the install04:58
sigmamu188?04:58
sigmamu188run the xubuntu cd at boot04:59
sigmamu188and select the media check04:59
sigmamu188or check media04:59
sigmamu188or something like that04:59
sigmamu188and if 0 checksum05:00
sigmamu188then the cd is good and try to install05:00
sigmamu188but it will not let you resize or install to ntfs file system with the cd05:00
sigmamu188or rather install prompt05:00
sigmamu188i know for a fact05:00
sigmamu188been there done that05:01
Shaba1sigmamu188.05:01
Shaba1I am still downloading the xbuntu live cd05:01
Shaba1as I said before05:01
Shaba1I have been trying 3 unbuntu live cds all day05:01
sigmamu188look pal im just trying to help05:01
Shaba1until finally someone in the channel told me that I do nto have enough ram05:01
Shaba1and suggested xubuntu05:01
sigmamu188run a media check on the live cd05:01
sigmamu188how much ram do you have?05:02
ormiretShaba1: if the problems are lack of RAM you probably wont get on any better with the Xubuntu live CD than the ubuntu ones - the alternate CD has lower memory requirements but no graphical interface05:02
Shaba1I know05:02
Shaba1but you are not listening05:02
Shaba1and I am frustrated05:02
Shaba1and I hate repeating myself05:02

sigmamu188just trying to emplement now05:09
Shaba1256mb05:09
ormiretIt was the Xinerama way that I was thinking of for a start, twinview seems to automagically do some of it, which is great until it automagically doesn't do what you want :)05:10
ormiretShaba1: that should be enough to run the Xubuntu Live CD.05:10
Shaba1well I will let you know05:10
Shaba1that is not the problem05:11
Shaba1I want :05:11
Shaba1#1 run the livecd05:11
Shaba1#2 use grub to resize my windows partion05:11
Shaba1#3 put xubuntu onto that space I have opened up05:12
Shaba1#4 get a menu at boot as to which os I want to start05:12
ormiretgrub is a bootloader, not for resizing partitions - gparted is integrated into the installer but I'm not sure how good it is at resizing NTFS while keeping the data intact.05:12
ormiretgrub is what gives you the menu at bootup to choose what OS you want05:13
Shaba1I should have type "use gparted to resize my windows partion"05:14
ormiretlooks like it should work from the installer, but as with all things playing with partitions things sometimes go wrong so make backups of anything important before you start.05:15
sigmamu188he is running NTFS05:16
ormiretyeah, apparently ntfsresize is integrated into the installer.05:17
Shaba1I got everything copied to this desktop05:17
Shaba1so not a problem05:17
Shaba1it was lucky to because I tried partiton logic on friday and it wiped out my laptop hd05:17
Shaba1I had to install windows from the recovery cd05:18

Shaba1nero 605:51
Shaba1and does it make a difference if it is a cd-r or cd-rw?05:51
ron_oit shouldn't Shaba1, but if you have many problems you might be better off with cd-r.05:52
ron_oI use cd-rw all the time with no problems at all.05:52

maxamillionmarcicito: create the folder and then open a terminal and do "chmod 777 folderName/" where folderName is the name you call the folder you create (you might want to make it at /home/ or something)12:07

marcicitoim at /home... but i can't even create a folder there. there are only the user's folders12:09

marcicito:) let's see12:10
