limbert65 | I'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 |
---|---|---|
limbert65 | Any help appreciated. | 12:23 |
PuMpErNiCkLe | Just the menu fonts? Text in webpages renders properly? | 12:24 |
limbert65 | yes, 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 |

PuMpErNiCkLe | How did you fix the font size problems in the rest of the system? | 12:42 |
limbert65 | Just 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 |
PuMpErNiCkLe | If 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 |
limbert65 | Chaning the DPI where? | 12:44 |
limbert65 | Changing, sorry. | 12:44 |
PuMpErNiCkLe | Should be in the 'details' or 'advanced' section of the font preferences. | 12:45 |
PuMpErNiCkLe | I'd check, but I'm using Gnome. | 12:46 |
limbert65 | You 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 |
limbert65 | Under 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 |
PuMpErNiCkLe | Xfce's. | 12:48 |

limbert65 | Yeah, 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 |
limbert65 | Frustrating. | 12:54 |
limbert65 | Just annoying in Firefox, but it makes Sunbird unusable. Totally screws up the page formatting. | 12:55 |
limbert65 | Smashes things into each other. | 12:55 |
limbert65 | And this happened just by inserting a CD. System totally locked up, had to force-restart. | 12:55 |

tonyyarusso | t3ster: #ubuntu+1 for all feisty issues | 01:05 |

tonyyarusso | Okay, you guys know the Orage calendar applet? Would it be terribly hard to make the tray icon show the correct day of the month instead of just 31 all the time? | 04:48 |
Shaba1 | I tried installing unbuntu on the machines at work becasue they were too cheap to by 15 windows licences | 04:48 |
Shaba1 | But I finally gave up | 04:48 |
Shaba1 | MS agent will not work under wine | 04:48 |
Shaba1 | and the web site out kids need to go to has to have that. | 04:48 |
Shaba1 | for tutoring | 04:48 |
Shaba1 | Anyway no | 04:48 |
Shaba1 | but first xunbuntu install | 04:48 |
Shaba1 | I am downloading the live cd now | 04:49 |
sigmamu188 | shaba1: are you just wanting to run it as a live cd or do you want to hard install it? | 04:49 |
Shaba1 | I been fighting with 3 live cd of unbuntu for 5 hours now | 04:49 |
Shaba1 | until someone in #unbuntu told me I did not have enough ram on my laptop | 04:49 |
Shaba1 | No I want to install it | 04:49 |
sigmamu188 | shaba1: do you have a open partition on the laptop? | 04:50 |
sigmamu188 | you need a non NTFS partition | 04:50 |
BFTD | isn't it with ubuntu-minimal and then upgrade from within | 04:50 |
Shaba1 | and I NEED to be able to run grub to make a linux/xubuntu partion | 04:50 |
Shaba1 | just like a Edgy install | 04:50 |
BFTD | install* | 04:50 |
sigmamu188 | shsab1: you cant install on NTFS partition | 04:50 |
Shaba1 | OH shit | 04:50 |
Shaba1 | damn | 04:50 |
Shaba1 | this is too damn hard | 04:51 |
Shaba1 | it just is | 04:51 |
Shaba1 | I mean I love what I see in linux | 04:51 |
sigmamu188 | NTFS is a propriety file system that linux cant write to | 04:51 |
Shaba1 | but this is gettin getting frustrating | 04:51 |
sigmamu188 | i think you can repartition with partition magic | 04:51 |
sigmamu188 | without losing data | 04:51 |
BFTD | !language : Shaba1 | 04:51 |

sigmamu188 | try torrentreactor | 04:52 |
sigmamu188 | if you dont mind cracked software | 04:52 |
sigmamu188 | i would ~never~ run craked software | 04:52 |
Shaba1 | so xunbuntu does not come with gparted? | 04:52 |
Shaba1 | is that correct? | 04:52 |
sigmamu188 | i think it dose | 04:52 |
sigmamu188 | but you will probably lose data | 04:53 |
Shaba1 | think sigmamu188 | 04:53 |
Shaba1 | sorry not to be rude | 04:53 |
Shaba1 | but I am realy frustrated right about now | 04:53 |
Shaba1 | I need to KNOW | 04:53 |
sigmamu188 | i was trying to think of a windows way to do it | 04:53 |
Shaba1 | according to the ubuntu site I can do it from the livecD | 04:53 |
Shaba1 | On a livecd install it runs gparted and lets you repartion the primary hard drive | 04:54 |
sigmamu188 | i don't know if you can repartition without losing data from the live cd | 04:54 |
Shaba1 | according to the gparted site | 04:54 |
Shaba1 | you can resize and ntfs partition | 04:54 |

sigmamu188 | just running gparted | 04:55 |
Shaba1 | I am coming into problems just getting install to run | 04:55 |
sigmamu188 | or are you trying to resize from the install screen? | 04:55 |
Shaba1 | on these 3 ubuntu livecds I have | 04:56 |
sigmamu188 | at the select partition to install? | 04:56 |
Shaba1 | I never get that far | 04:56 |
sigmamu188 | how far do you get? | 04:56 |
Shaba1 | farthest I have gotten is the Where are you located screen and then the desktop locks up and the mouse does not respong | 04:56 |
Shaba1 | and I have to reboot | 04:57 |
sigmamu188 | did you checkmedia before the install | 04:58 |
sigmamu188 | ? | 04:58 |
sigmamu188 | run the xubuntu cd at boot | 04:59 |
sigmamu188 | and select the media check | 04:59 |
sigmamu188 | or check media | 04:59 |
sigmamu188 | or something like that | 04:59 |
sigmamu188 | and if 0 checksum | 05:00 |
sigmamu188 | then the cd is good and try to install | 05:00 |
sigmamu188 | but it will not let you resize or install to ntfs file system with the cd | 05:00 |

Shaba1 | until finally someone in the channel told me that I do nto have enough ram | 05:01 |
Shaba1 | and suggested xubuntu | 05:01 |
sigmamu188 | run a media check on the live cd | 05:01 |
sigmamu188 | how much ram do you have? | 05:02 |
ormiret | Shaba1: 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 interface | 05:02 |
Shaba1 | I know | 05:02 |
Shaba1 | but you are not listening | 05:02 |
Shaba1 | and I am frustrated | 05:02 |

ormiret | wb sigmamu188, any luck? | 05:08 |
sigmamu188 | no | 05:08 |
sigmamu188 | but i think i might have found a solution | 05:08 |
sigmamu188 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo | 05:09 |
sigmamu188 | just trying to emplement now | 05:09 |
Shaba1 | 256mb | 05:09 |
ormiret | It 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 |
ormiret | Shaba1: that should be enough to run the Xubuntu Live CD. | 05:10 |
Shaba1 | well I will let you know | 05:10 |
Shaba1 | that is not the problem | 05:11 |
Shaba1 | I want : | 05:11 |
Shaba1 | #1 run the livecd | 05:11 |
Shaba1 | #2 use grub to resize my windows partion | 05:11 |
Shaba1 | #3 put xubuntu onto that space I have opened up | 05:12 |
Shaba1 | #4 get a menu at boot as to which os I want to start | 05:12 |
ormiret | grub 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 |
ormiret | grub is what gives you the menu at bootup to choose what OS you want | 05:13 |
Shaba1 | I should have type "use gparted to resize my windows partion" | 05:14 |
ormiret | looks 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 |
sigmamu188 | he is running NTFS | 05:16 |
ormiret | yeah, apparently ntfsresize is integrated into the installer. | 05:17 |
Shaba1 | I got everything copied to this desktop | 05:17 |
Shaba1 | so not a problem | 05:17 |
Shaba1 | it was lucky to because I tried partiton logic on friday and it wiped out my laptop hd | 05:17 |

Shaba1 | nero 6 | 05:51 |
Shaba1 | and does it make a difference if it is a cd-r or cd-rw? | 05:51 |
ron_o | it shouldn't Shaba1, but if you have many problems you might be better off with cd-r. | 05:52 |
ron_o | I use cd-rw all the time with no problems at all. | 05:52 |
ormiret | Shaba1: is there a "Burn image" in the file menu of your version of nero? (none of the instructions I can find give a version) | 05:54 |

marcicito | i want to create a folder who can be readed and written by me and my brother, but we have different sessions | 12:04 |
marcicito | a shared folder | 12:04 |
marcicito | anybody knows how to create a shared, writeable folder? | 12:06 |
maxamillion | marcicito: 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 |
maxamillion | marcicito: be patient | 12:07 |
marcicito | im at /home... but i can't even create a folder there. there are only the user's folders | 12:09 |
maxamillion | marcicito: open a terminal and do "sudo mkdir /home/folderName" (it will ask for your password) | 12:09 |
marcicito | :) let's see | 12:10 |
maxamillion | marcicito: and then do "sudo chmod 777 /home/folderName" | 12:10 |
maxamillion | marcicito: and all should be well | 12:10 |
marcicito | yeap...but what's the difference between the terminal and the desktop enviroment, which didn't let me create a folder? | 12:14 |

marcicito | i am admin only in the bash? | 12:14 |
maxamillion | marcicito: until you add someone else, yes | 12:17 |
maxamillion | marcicito: the desktop environment only has your user's privilages and in the command line you can run "sudo" which gives you root privilages | 12:17 |
marcicito | i'ts been two days using linux and i've learned more than ten years using windows :P | 12:19 |
