| cfhowlett | leif_, morning in China, midnight in the states. How about: Greetings! | 03:41 |
| leif_ | sorry | 03:41 |
| leif_ | :) | 03:41 |
| leif_ | those time zones | 03:42 |
| cfhowlett | leif_, what'd you need help with | 03:42 |
| leif_ | nothing atm | 03:42 |
| leif_ | maybe there is a oftopic for xbuntu | 03:42 |
| cfhowlett | !ot | 03:42 |
| ubottu | #xubuntu is the Xubuntu support channel, #xubuntu-devel for discussion regarding development of Xubuntu, and #xubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 03:42 |
| leif_ | ok sorry | 03:43 |
| leif_ | still new at this | 03:43 |
| cfhowlett | no worries. | 03:43 |
| Kleedrac | Hey guys - I'm doing the 13.10 upgrade but it's spent the last hour on libots0 - is this an issue? | 05:00 |
| vrkalak | I did it .. upgraded to 13.10 | 05:04 |
| Kleedrac | vrkalak: I take it yours didn't hang on libots? | 05:05 |
| vrkalak | it fairly simple really | 05:05 |
| vrkalak | and no errors | 05:06 |
| vrkalak | xubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 | 05:06 |
| cfhowlett | Kleedrac, clean install is always an option ... the better option IMO | 05:06 |
| Kleedrac | cfhowlett: I hate doing that because it takes me a while to get everything set up the way I like it and this is one of my daily-use machines | 05:07 |
| cfhowlett | Kleedrac, put /home in a separate partition. point to /home on the new install. done;. | 05:07 |
| cfhowlett | Kleedrac, but I do understanc | 05:08 |
| cfhowlett | *understand* | 05:08 |
| Kleedrac | cfhowlett: /home is its own partition actually but wouldn't I still have to install/configure dropbox, btsync, oo.o, etc etc etc? | 05:08 |
| cfhowlett | Kleedrac, sorry, afk. user settings will be retained in /home so configurations, etc. should carry over. if there's an app upgrade though, reconfigure | 05:23 |
| Kleedrac | cfhowlett: I kinda figured - sadly I'm more of a windoze user as my daily driver (games man) but for school I figured it was a good idea to stretch my linux muscles :) | 05:24 |
| Kleedrac | Torrenting the 13.10 iso as we speak | 05:24 |
| cfhowlett | Kleedrac, your upgrade is still stuck? abnormal behavior | 05:25 |
| Kleedrac | Yeah libots0 is still being unpacked (or so the ubuntu overlords would have us believe) | 05:26 |
| cfhowlett | Kleedrac, I think not. could be a mirror issue. get your torrent, md5sum check and install that puppy | 05:26 |
| Kleedrac | Sounds like a plan | 05:27 |
| silv3r_m00n | hi there, i am trying xubuntu 13.10, when i open youtube it says you need additional plugin to play videos, but when i close the popup, the videos start playing, howcome ? dont i need to install the flashplugin-nonfree package ? | 09:27 |
| well_laid_lawn | my guess would be html5 | 09:28 |
| well_laid_lawn | I don't know why the popup pops up | 09:28 |
| silv3r_m00n | well_laid_lawn: oh yes, its html5 | 09:44 |

| xubuntu793 | I try to run a ".run" file. Now i try to type in "./name.run" but the terminal ist just doing a new prompt. what could be the problem? | 10:33 |
| xubuntu793 | Thank you for your support | 10:33 |
| xubuntu793 | is it possible to get any output why it is doing nothing? | 10:34 |

| knome | xubuntu172, save your work and boot the live cd again; you are able to pick the language from the login | 13:05 |

| === ph00 is now known as phoo | ||
| knome | gdos, you've said that every 30 minutes now and no answer; what about searching in other places, like forums? | 13:41 |
| gdos | yep. even googled it. found similar answers though no real solution. | 13:42 |
| gdos | knome: or at least a solution that works. | 13:42 |
| bgardner | gdos: Got a screenshot for us? | 13:46 |

| gdos | bgardner: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-10292013-074738am.php | 13:48 |
| bgardner | gdos: Hm, and what font does your terminal *think* it's using? | 13:49 |
| gdos | bgardner: all of my apps/settings can't seem to get out of monospace. | 13:50 |
| gdos | i went so far as to 'reset' my xfce settings (by removing .local .cache and .config directories) | 13:50 |
| bgardner | gdos: Not sure what you mean by that. The displayed font in your screenshot is clearly not a monospace font. | 13:51 |
| gdos | hold on i'll take a screenshot of the settings and also of the font list. | 13:51 |
| gdos | bgardner: terminal preferences - http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-10292013-075303am.php | 13:53 |
| gdos | bgardner: font list - http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-10292013-075408am.php (as you can see i choose for this demonstration 'courier new ' which should obviously be different than the default monospace which as it appears, is not) | 13:55 |

| gdos | ok i just tried installing nvidia drivers 304 and still same issue. | 14:02 |
| bgardner | gdos: Never seen anything like that before, hang on a moment while I do some research. | 14:02 |
| gdos | ok. | 14:02 |
| bgardner | gdos: Any interesting font-related messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 14:03 |
| gdos | i can't even copy / paste that to look at it so hold on while i look. | 14:04 |
| gdos | bgardner: here is the log from /var/log/Xorg.0.log - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6324105/ | 14:07 |
| gdos | it looks like my font paths are in-correct? | 14:08 |
| bgardner | gdos: No, I checked yours against mine and you actually have more than I do. | 14:09 |
| gdos | OK. | 14:10 |
| asd__123123123 | how to install fonts on xubuntu 11.10. They are .otf | 14:12 |
| asd__123123123 | sorry 13.10 is version | 14:12 |
| gdos | bgardner: whenever i try and copy paste something (or move around and hover or links), the fonts shift. | 14:13 |
| bgardner | gdos: My apologies, but I'm not finding anything - fonts aren't really my specialty, though - perhaps someone else can weigh in with a suggestion. | 14:15 |
| gdos | it only seems to happen with certain apps (like xchat) so i'm thinking since its not obviously a driver issue, could it be a QT (what xfce uses) issue or some other font rendering issue (for example does not happen with webpages but installed apps). | 14:18 |
| bgardner | gdos: Try a webpage that you know shows a monospace font - like your pastebin link above. Does it also show monospace correctly? | 14:21 |
| gdos | yes. | 14:21 |
| gdos | monospace is the only font that xserver seems to let me use and even then it displays oddly as I've stated. | 14:22 |
| bgardner | gdos: But not errors in your Xorg.0.log. Hm. | 14:22 |
| bgardner | *no | 14:22 |
| gdos | exactly. | 14:23 |
| gdos | would it be a QT issue? currently QT5 is installed. would I break anything if I reverted to QT4 ? | 14:23 |
| bgardner | gdos: What Xubuntu version are you running? | 14:24 |
| gdos | 13.04 | 14:24 |
| bgardner | gdos: I don't know the answer to your QT question, but I would be very leery of doing such a downgrade if I were you. | 14:26 |
| bgardner | gdos: My own plan would be to dig deeper for font-related messages first. | 14:27 |
| bgardner | gdos: Admittedly, not sure yet where to look that we haven't already... | 14:27 |
| bgardner | gdos: Have you checked file permissions on /usr/share/fonts and below, just for fun? | 14:30 |
| gdos | bgardner: looking now. | 14:33 |
| gdos | bgardner: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-10292013-083451am.php | 14:35 |
| gdos | same results for all folders & files under /usr/share/fonts | 14:35 |
| bgardner | gdos: Same as mine. :P | 14:36 |
| gdos | so i'm wondering would it hurt to do a force re-install of xubuntu-desktop ? and how would i do that through the command line ? would that reset most system wide settings back to default ? | 14:37 |
| bgardner | gdos: I don't know, I would guess 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install xubuntu-desktop' and probably not. | 14:41 |
| gdos | bgardner: i found this - http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu - wonder if i changed that from 'purge' to '--reinstall install' ? | 14:42 |
| gdos | and removed that last part? | 14:43 |
| bgardner | gdos: Do you have a good backup? | 14:44 |
| gdos | yea. | 14:45 |
| bgardner | gdos: One moment, checking something. | 14:46 |
| gdos | just did a 'test' and it only wants to install NEW: libindicate and libotr - wonder if that is significant? | 14:46 |
| bgardner | gdos: Just found a reference to the "right" way to do this, and it confirms that "sudo apt-get install --reinstall xubuntu-desktop" is correct. | 14:48 |
| gdos | OK. | 14:49 |
| bgardner | gdos: If I were you, that would be my next move. | 14:49 |
| XATRIX | Hi guys, why i don't see any color output when i do ".... | grep --color=auto grep-some-phrase" ? | 14:57 |
| bgardner | XATRIX: Which terminal? | 15:01 |
| thinair | Does it support colors? | 15:01 |
| gdos | bgardner: it seems like none of my settings are being saved. wonder if that is a key? (btw, reinstalling xubuntu-desktop didn't work, neither did rebooting into an older kernel. | 15:01 |
| bgardner | gdos: Like which settings? | 15:02 |
| XATRIX | bgardner: xfce4-terminal | 15:02 |
| gdos | bgardner: xchat for example. even simple apps like leafpad and mousepad. | 15:02 |
| bgardner | gdos: Start checking your permissions on your home directory, and yes, that could be related. | 15:03 |
| GridCube | gdos, rename your .bashrc for a moment and relog | 15:04 |
| bgardner | XATRIX: Can you show a screenshot? Do this command: echo test | grep test --color=auto | 15:04 |
| XATRIX | Yes, now i see color output | 15:05 |
| XATRIX | Wait a bit | 15:05 |
| XATRIX | Can my 'screen' command inside my xfce4-terminal cause troubles ? | 15:05 |
| XATRIX | I work under screen | 15:05 |
| bgardner | XATRIX: I would suspect so, yes. | 15:06 |
| XATRIX | ( | 15:06 |
| bgardner | XATRIX: Probably not a deal breaker, you just have to figure out how to configure it | 15:06 |
| XATRIX | Yea , i'm on it | 15:06 |
| XATRIX | But still have no idea tho | 15:06 |
| bgardner | XATRIX: Check your screen man page and come back here if you can't find a solution | 15:07 |
| XATRIX | aright , thanks | 15:07 |
| gdos | ok. | 15:07 |
| bgardner | gdos: Any luck with either permissions check or using GridCube's suggestion? | 15:08 |
| gdos | bgardner: all permission settings are as i suspected as they should be. | 15:09 |
| bgardner | gdos: Okay, then try what GridCube suggested next. | 15:09 |
| gdos | bgardner: ok. also, i tried pterm and for some reason the fonts are small (as if its reading some other settings), when i had pterm installed on xubuntu 12.10 the fonts were much larger. | 15:10 |
| gdos | bgardner: here is my pastebin of /etc/default/console-settings - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6324444/ | 15:12 |
| bgardner | gdos: Well, based on the docs /etc/default/console-settings seems to only apply to genuine consoles (not *term windows under X), which you said work properly, yes? | 15:17 |
| GridCube | gdos, does this happen to the guest user as well? | 15:17 |
| gdos | bgardner: yes that is correct and i just tried 'konsole' (kde terminal emulator) and am able to change fonts fine there and seem to display correctly! HOWEVER, when I *DO* select a font, NOT all fonts are listed. coincidence? | 15:17 |
| bgardner | gdos: I have little experience with KDE, so not sure if that is related or not. Do please try the guest login suggestion and let us know what you get there. | 15:19 |
| gdos | but this 'font issue' happens in not just xfce4-terminal but other apps as well (such as xchat); why is konsole the only app that is displaying my fonts correctly? | 15:19 |
| gdos | bgardner: will do. | 15:19 |
| gdos | GridCube: ok just tried guest account. same thing. | 15:21 |
| gdos | and tried 'konsole' there as well. same thing. | 15:21 |
| gdos | found this - http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/tag/pure-xubuntu/ | 15:26 |
| GridCube | gdos, konsole uses qt and not gtk | 15:29 |
| GridCube | so its using a complete different rendering engine | 15:29 |
| gdos | GrigCube: so gtk might be broken? | 15:29 |
| GridCube | it could be, i have no idea, all i know from seeing your questions in this channel in the last weeks is that you have tinkered with your system so much that anything could be faulty | 15:32 |
| gdos | but this is from a fresh install of xubuntu :) | 15:35 |
| gdos | i've ran all the 'hardware tests' i could think of and hardware checks out fine. | 15:35 |
| === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash | ||
| gdos | GridCube: must be a gtk issue (or something not configured correctly in an install script?). i ran all of these listed here - http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/tag/pure-xubuntu/ - now my fonts seem to work (so far for the most part still verifying) | 15:48 |
| bgardner | gdos: When you said this was a new install, was it a new install to a blank partition or an in-place upgrade? | 15:49 |
| gdos | bgardner: blank partition. somehow something i did screwed up my apache2 settings so i decided to do a 'fresh' install of Xubuntu 13.04 | 15:50 |
