[05:43] <acidrain> i am back with my same mic issue
[05:43] <acidrain> i believe this mic is broken, how can i go about testing it?
[08:55] <MintberryCrunch_> morning
[08:56] <MintberryCrunch_> i've just tried ubuntu studio 12.04 and ive got massive problems with font rendering
[08:56] <MintberryCrunch_> Black text looks very bad with red glow/edges, especially on high contrast areas  . It looks like this: http://www.kilobitspersecond.com/stuff/rgba-rgb.png
[09:03] <smartboyhw> OK, wait
[09:04] <smartboyhw> MintberryCrunch_: I don't understnad. Please show a better photo describing the problems you have.
[09:04] <smartboyhw> *understand
[09:06] <MintberryCrunch_> sure, one second
[09:06] <smartboyhw> Thanks
[09:07] <tech1> mint did you try the antialiasing options?
[09:07] <tech1> hinting options can cause distortion
[09:07] <smartboyhw> Hi tech1.
[09:08] <tech1> hi
[09:09] <MintberryCrunch_> tech1:  will try this. It already was my first guess.
[09:09] <MintberryCrunch_> smartboyhw:  http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/tmp/md5/eb7ac263669e99fc5024e1f952847fda-ubuntu10-subpixel-font-rendering.png
[09:09] <MintberryCrunch_> the one below
[09:09] <MintberryCrunch_> i get colored-halos :)
[09:10] <smartboyhw> Hmm..... Do you have this problem in a normal Ubuntu Desktop?
[09:10] <smartboyhw> Since that is gnome, but Ubuntu Studio uses Xfce
[09:11] <MintberryCrunch_> nope, ubuntu unity, mint cinnamon, fedora gnome3 ---> all have zero problems
[09:11] <MintberryCrunch_> i have this same problem on my dell laptop and on my Lacie 22" CRT monitor
[09:12] <smartboyhw> Hmm, then see if this happens in Xfce and Xubuntu.
[09:12] <MintberryCrunch_> guess i am not the only one though :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2023477
[09:14] <smartboyhw> Hmm.....I shall contact the dev team later.
[09:14] <MintberryCrunch_> thx. I will try and play with the settings.
[09:16] <smartboyhw> :)
[09:16] <MintberryCrunch_> off we go.  Catch you later :)
[09:37] <smartboyhw> OK, so MinutberryCrunch, how's your issue?
[09:37] <MintberryCrunch> smartboyhw:  got it fixed ^^  You have to set the color setting of the font from "rgb" to none
[09:37] <smartboyhw> Good. Thanks
[09:38] <MintberryCrunch> :)
[09:39] <MintberryCrunch> Still, the font rendering could be better. I can live with it though ;)  Anyway, compliments for studio 12.04 so far. XFCE is a much better choice than unity.
[09:40] <smartboyhw> Thanks.
[09:40] <smartboyhw> Oops
[09:40] <tech1> you can disable antialiasing for programs in .Xdefaults
[09:40] <smartboyhw> Thanks for your compliment, MintberryCrunch
[09:40] <MintberryCrunch> hit the wrong button
[09:40] <tech1> i turned off AA for emacs
[09:40] <MintberryCrunch> tech1:  okay.
[09:40] <tech1> cant turn it off for gedit or xchat though for some reason
[12:02] <newb99> hi
