| nascentmind | Hi. I want to improve my fonts in kubuntu. The present font which I am using has a lot of washed away look at the edges. How can I fix this. | 08:18 |
| nascentmind | I want a consistent thick font. | 08:19 |
| murthy | nascentmind: have to tweaked the anti-aliasing settings? | 08:34 |
| nascentmind | murthy, done. | 08:35 |
| nascentmind | murthy, the fonts are thin. | 08:35 |
| murthy | nascentmind: you mean you tried already? | 08:35 |
| nascentmind | its not thick and crisp at the edges. | 08:35 |
| nascentmind | yes | 08:35 |
| nascentmind | its already enabled. | 08:35 |
| lordievader | nascentmind: I think I have the same problem on my desktop, haven't found the fix yet :( | 08:35 |
| nascentmind | since the font is thin i can see patches of background color in between the fonts. | 08:36 |
| murthy | nascentmind: whats the font that you are using? | 08:36 |
| murthy | :D | 08:36 |
| nascentmind | From inconsolata to monospace same problem. | 08:36 |
| nascentmind | because of the patches the white foreground does not appear bright.. | 08:37 |
| murthy | nascentmind: can you give me your anti-aliasing settings ? | 08:37 |
| nascentmind | anti alias settings are enabled. | 08:37 |
| murthy | nascentmind: i mean the values you see when you press the configure button | 08:38 |
| nascentmind | I have disabled exclude range. | 08:39 |
| nascentmind | I use sub pixel rendering hinting style full RGB. | 08:39 |
| murthy | mine is exclude range is disabled, sub-pixel rendering is enabled and it is set to rgb and hinting is set to slight | 08:39 |
| murthy | I am using ubuntu font | 08:40 |
| murthy | lordievader: Is there a possiblity that graphics card setting can override the anti-aliasing settings of the apps, I think I have seen something like this for geforce | 08:42 |
| lordievader | murthy: Might be yes. Where can I find these anti-aliasing settings? | 08:42 |
| murthy | lordievader: you mean the graphic card's? | 08:43 |
| nascentmind | murthy, did it make a difference? Mine doesn't | 08:43 |
| murthy | nascentmind: do you restart the application when ever you make a change to see the change? | 08:43 |
| lordievader | murthy: Oh well never mind, in the nvidia x config you can override application settings. | 08:44 |
| lordievader | nascentmind: Do you use an nVidia card? | 08:44 |
| murthy | lRIGHT | 08:44 |
| murthy | OOPS | 08:44 |
| murthy | lordievader: right | 08:44 |
| nascentmind | yes | 08:44 |
| lordievader | nascentmind: With the closed source driver? | 08:44 |
| nascentmind | lordievader, I have a intel card. | 08:44 |
| murthy | nascentmind: can you change the subpixel rendering to slight and try to re-login and see if it works? | 08:45 |
| lordievader | Oh I thought you mean: yes, I have an nvidia card. | 08:45 |
| murthy | me too, nvidia | 08:46 |
| lordievader | murthy: Ah that subpixel rendering was the one I was looking for. | 08:46 |
| nascentmind | My amd card screwed up recently. and with it too I have the same problem. | 08:46 |
| murthy | mine is set to rgb with slight hinting | 08:46 |
| nascentmind | does this effect gtk rendering too? I use a lot of gtk apps. | 08:47 |
| murthy | nascentmind: ya, chromium will look screwed | 08:47 |
| lordievader | Nice murthy, that subpixel thing seems to fix it for me :) | 08:50 |
| murthy | lordievader: nice :) | 08:54 |

| RTracer | I've tried searching the net already so put your lmgtfy.com tabs away | 10:17 |
| murthy | RTracer: hi, may i try? | 10:18 |
| RTracer | So whats going on is after a recent update LightDM will not work | 10:18 |
| RTracer | When I try Alt+F1 and starting it manually, it throws some GLib errors and.. | 10:19 |
| RTracer | I forgot what its called | 10:19 |

| murthy | RTracer: does it work for a guest user? | 10:20 |
| RTracer | How do you login as a guest in terminal? | 10:20 |
| RTracer | just Guest in the username? | 10:21 |
| murthy | RTracer: so you can't even see the greeter :( | 10:21 |
| RTracer | Nope | 10:21 |
| murthy | RTracer: I need you to paste a file, can you do that? | 10:21 |
| RTracer | I dont think so, how will I upload the file? | 10:22 |
| murthy | RTracer: use paste.kde.org | 10:22 |

| RTracer | I cant even figure out how to submit the file to paste.kde.org | 10:31 |
| murthy | RTracer: use a pen drive to get the file to the other system | 10:32 |
| murthy | RTracer: I guess you are familiar with mounting a drive? | 10:33 |
| RTracer | Yeah | 10:35 |
| RTracer | Just need to format it because | 10:35 |
| RTracer | I dd'd an ISO to it, so its not reconized as a proper drive | 10:36 |

| murthy | DarthFrog: try to see if you get something when you run "strace easytag" | 14:01 |
| DarthFrog | murthy: Did that. Nothing that makes sense to me. | 14:01 |

| |kira | You can change kde a lot more than unity/gnome3 | 20:22 |
| puff | Yeah, but I don't want to :-). | 20:23 |
| |kira | I use KDE and XFCE, XFCE is a lot like gnome3 and kde is a lot better than it was | 20:23 |
| puff | I want it to just stay the same, so I can get work done instead of frittering away the hours fiddling with the GUI, just to get it back to the way it used to be. | 20:23 |
| |kira | Mate is a dead end project, and Cinnamon is buggy | 20:23 |
| puff | Hm, I think I was using XFCE before, maybe that's my mistake. I thought xfce was the default kubuntu UI? | 20:24 |
| puff | How do I check? | 20:24 |
| |kira | xubuntu is xfce... kubuntu kde, gnome-ubuntu is gnome 3... ubuntu is unity... | 20:24 |
| puff | Ah... okay, maybe that's where I messed up. | 20:25 |
| |kira | lubuntu is lxde which is really small but too far | 20:25 |
| |kira | kde and xfce are the best offical ubuntus.... cinnamon is really nice but there's no cinnabuntu | 20:25 |
| puff | I seem to have set my kde wallet password somewhere along the way, but now I can't remember it. This install is only a few days old, how do I reset it? | 20:26 |
| |kira | I should make cinnabuntu... | 20:26 |
| puff | What's cinnamon? | 20:26 |
| |kira | cinnamon is gnome 3 made to be more 2-like, Linux Mint uses it an there's an ubuntu ppa | 20:26 |

| |kira | it's buggy still | 20:27 |
| puff | I have a lot to do... I just instaleld a 256GB MSATA SSD (which is listing as 238GB, sigh). I need to revise/reconfigure/reinstall everything. | 20:27 |
| puff | I want to set up multiple boot partitions. Sadly this includes windows (I haven't booted windows on my personal laptop in 6+ years). | 20:28 |
| |kira | well linux installs are tiny compared to windows, you could jsut get every livecd and try them all | 20:28 |
| puff | But I need to support some stuff that means I may need to occasionally boot into windows. | 20:28 |
| |kira | use kvm or xen or virtualbox | 20:28 |
| puff | Nah, I need at least three boots. | 20:28 |
| |kira | kvm supports 1024 machines and 2048 cores and 32TB of ram... | 20:29 |
| puff | My every day boot, probably kubuntu or xubuntu. A boot for the latest bleeding-edge ubuntu so I can test it against my hardware (things *always* seem to break). A centos boot for a particular project involving commercial software that is only available for centos. And a windows boot. | 20:29 |
| |kira | My host os is kubuntu, have xubuntu in a vm and windows xp and 7 in a vm too... | 20:30 |
| puff | And most of them involve wacky graphics driver issues, so I can't run them under a virtual server. | 20:30 |
| |kira | cent is bad lol | 20:30 |
| puff | Yeah, but it's become something of a standard in the 3D graphics industry. | 20:30 |
| puff | Actually I think RHEL is the standard, but CentOS is the open source/free equivalent. | 20:31 |

| |kira | ubuntu is pretty much a compilation os series, not much work done, debian is the true mothership distro | 20:32 |
| |kira | so much is debian based | 20:32 |
| |kira | Debian testing is more stable than most distros, stable is old, unstable breaks | 20:33 |
| ospi3 | hello:) how do i backup all emails as simple text files (one email one file)? | 20:35 |
| ospi3 | somebody help me please... | 20:36 |
| |kira | with what program? | 20:36 |
| ospi3 | |kira: thank you... any email client. do you know one that does that? | 20:37 |
| ospi3 | what i want is to have one (readable) text file for each email | 20:38 |
| |kira | most backup as xml, which can be broken apart | 20:38 |
| |kira | thundebird and such | 20:38 |
| ospi3 | so one big xml file. and how do you break it apart into many little files (one per email)? will these then be readable in a simple text editor? | 20:39 |
| |kira | any simple programming language, go, python, read the xml, spit out the text as seperate files names however | 20:40 |
| ospi3 | also how will these files be named? can you get for example the object of the email to be the name of the file? | 20:41 |
| |kira | can ame them however you want | 20:41 |
| ospi3 | can a newbie (like me) do this easily? i dont know how to program | 20:42 |
| |kira | i'm about to make a program that does that | 20:42 |
| ospi3 | super... thank you | 20:42 |
| |kira | i'll be developing it tonight, i have thunderbird emails i want to blow up to seperate files too | 20:43 |
| ospi3 | i still dont understand why thunderbird does not give us this option... | 20:43 |
| |kira | i think there is a way, but nothing as simple as "here's backup dump mails as text fies" | 20:44 |
| ospi3 | will you make it available to everybody? | 20:45 |
| ospi3 | or just me? :) | 20:46 |
| |kira | open source project | 20:46 |
| ospi3 | so where will i find it? | 20:46 |
| |kira | dunno, github probally | 20:46 |
| ospi3 | so tell me what to do.... should i go look for it in github tomorrow? | 20:47 |
| |kira | i'm on irc every day, just bug me once in a while | 20:47 |
| ospi3 | ok so i will come bug you tomorrow :) always in this channel (kubuntu)? | 20:48 |
| |kira | yup | 20:48 |
| BluesKaj_ | really |kira , must be a lurker | 20:51 |
| |kira | i'm maximum lurker | 20:53 |
| |kira | i lurk 50 channels | 20:53 |
| ospi3 | what is lurker? | 20:53 |
| |kira | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lurker very old word lol | 20:54 |
| ospi3 | a member of an online community who observes, but does not actively participate | 20:54 |
| ospi3 | but you participate dont you? | 20:55 |
| |kira | when i have reason lol | 20:55 |
| ospi3 | what time will be connected tomorrow? | 20:56 |
| |kira | 4-12pmest | 20:57 |
| puff | Hm. | 20:58 |
| puff | ospi3: Where is the email coming from? | 20:59 |
| puff | 5pm already, where did the day go? | 20:59 |
| |kira | I think I'll call it "Thunderbird Backup Exploder" | 20:59 |
| puff | ospi3: Maildir is a standard mailbox format that puts the messages in individual files in a subdirectory. | 21:00 |
| |kira | I forgot about that... although i have all of these json emmail backups... | 21:01 |
| puff | Cool. | 21:02 |
| ospi3 | could you make it that the name of the file comes out as 20130526 News from Alaska (YYYYMMDD EMAILOBJECT) ? (hopefully im not being rude in making these requests) :) | 21:03 |
| ospi3 | the name sounds good... | 21:03 |
| |kira | I'll probably name the files like this: YY/MM/DD/HH/MM/SS/Title/from/to | 21:06 |
| ospi3 | ok | 21:07 |
| |kira | know of the Go programming language? | 21:07 |
| ospi3 | i know of "go" as in "I go to work" :) | 21:08 |
| |kira | I'll be making it with that http://golang.org/ you can apt-get golang | 21:08 |
| ospi3 | can you make it so user-friendly that even my grandmother will be able to use it? | 21:09 |
| |kira | you can "go make" it into a simple binary people can run | 21:10 |
| puff | |kira: How is go for quickie scriptnig stuff? | 21:12 |
| |kira | go is a full blown programing language, but it's even easier than most scripting languages | 21:12 |
| puff | |kira: I've been curious about, haven't managed to make time to try it out. Hell, I've barely made time to try out more practical languages that have long been on my to-do list, like python and ruby. | 21:12 |
| puff | |kira: Really? | 21:12 |
| |kira | you can elarn go pretty quick | 21:12 |
| |kira | http://tour.golang.org/#1 | 21:12 |
| ospi3 | ok kira .... glad i bumped on you.... be back tomorrow then ... good night (for me time) :) | 21:13 |
| |kira | kate in kde support go syntax | 21:13 |
| |kira | and golang is a standard package you and apt-get | 21:14 |
| puff | Neat tour. | 21:15 |
| madconqueror | Niklaus Wirth had dinner in the same restaurant tonight as me. I think. At least, there was a lonely man with a beard and a lonely man with a dog on that terrace. You could have just told me Kubuntu is only mimicking dual monitor support. It would have been okay. Now I choose a different distro. | 21:19 |
| |kira | I'm using multimonitor... you can have separate desktops or 1 big one made of multiple monitors... just depends on how your screens are set | 21:20 |
| ospi3 | why not have four digits for the year (YYYY)? it will work better for the century turns dont you think? | 21:20 |
| puff | I've jsut *barely* gotten my external video working (dang nvidia). | 21:21 |
| |kira | amdcccle or nvidia's... something, lets you set that, intel has a thing too | 21:21 |
| |kira | nvidia on a laptop? | 21:21 |
| puff | But what I *really* want is to use multiple monitors when docked, and when I undock, have each monitor be a workspace. | 21:21 |
| puff | Yea,h thinkpad t52p with nvidia. | 21:21 |
| puff | Turns out there are some really annoying aspects to nvidia on the thinkpad t520 - the external video port is just dead if you don't use nvidia mode. | 21:22 |
| |kira | If you use nvidia for laptops... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVpOyKCNZYw | 21:22 |
| puff | |kira: Yeah, I think of that scene often. | 21:22 |
| |kira | Funny how ATi was bad on Linux, but AMD really improved things | 21:23 |
| puff | This was a good read: http://tech.t9i.in/2013/01/why-program-in-go/ | 21:26 |
| puff | Yeah, re: ATI. | 21:26 |
| |kira | ATi's divers are slow, a bit buggy... but I haven't really had any big problems... steam games all work, blender, other linux games, lots of wine games | 21:27 |
| ospi3 | |kira: do you read me? did i do something wrong? is it for go? didn't mean to be unpolite or anything..... | 21:27 |
| |kira | oh, missed your comment, uhh, i'll probably have several file name options, it's easy changing | 21:28 |
| ospi3 | ok... good... night :) | 21:29 |
| |kira | I have to much crap open I need a double bar tray, good thing there's sutohide... | 21:55 |

| |kira | ospi3: Hmm... https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ found plugin to handle my emails... suddenly lost urge to so it myself... | 23:58 |
