douglmorning guys and gals... yesterday I just worked on my desktop for the first time in months - my 12.10 installs fonts are all ugly and barely readable... what should I google for?13:58
mank319does anyone know how the whole "MIR" issue will be handled for those who use kde as Desktop Environment and have kubuntu ppas in their sources list, but initially did not download "kubuntu", but e.g. (in my case) ubuntu minimal installer14:07
mank319because I personally do not want to use MIR as x-replacement14:09
BluesKajmank319, kubuntu isxn't using mir , ubuntu is .14:10
mank319yeah i know14:10
mank319but as i explained, initially I did not install kubuntu14:10
BluesKajthgen what are you asking?14:10
mank319but ubuntu, because I wanted a minimal install14:11
mank319but used KDE as desktop environment14:11
mank319and also have the kubuntu-ppas14:11
BluesKajdidn't see your explanation , just joined14:11
mank319so practically I am using a "minimalized kubuntu"14:11
mank319and I was just wondering to which "update policy" my system would apply then14:11
BluesKaj\if anythuing wayland might be in kubuntu's future , but that's not certain yet14:12
mank319I was hoping to hear something like: "It's dependant on the kubuntu ppa" or sth, because then I would just go the normal kubuntu road14:12
mank319yeah if at all14:12
mank319i just clearly dont want to get forced to use MIR :D14:12
BluesKajnone of us do , afaik14:12
mank319hehe yeah14:12
mank319well I guess I will just have to wait how special cases like mine will be treated and, in the worst case, tweak something myself, after the upgrade14:13
mank319thanks anyways folks :-) going to get myself a coffe. if anyone has further information about the topic, I will stay in the channel and read it later ;-)14:13
douglsomehow my fonts got all tiny and ugly on my 12.10 install - what should I be googling for to fix this?14:14
BluesKajdougl, did you check in appearance in sys settings to see if the font settings have changed14:16
lordievaderdougl: Is the font DPI set to 96?14:16
douglsec guys will go to that desktop with my notebook14:17
douglBluesKaj, I have one font that says ubuntu mono 12 and I want it to say ubuntu 12 but don't have thaT option and changing to 96 dpi has no effect lordievader ... rebooting to see if that does anything14:24
BluesKajthat's odd do14:25
BluesKajdougl,^14:25
douglyes14:26
lordievaderdougl: What is your display resolution?14:26
dougl1920x108014:26
douglnvidia propietary14:27
BluesKajdougl, you can change the dpi manually as well , i have minbe at 100 dpi on this laptop due to 96 being too small and 120  much too large14:27
douglBluesKaj, checking14:28
douglthe fixed width font will not change but all the others change and 100 works great... ???14:32
BluesKajmy res is 1366x768 so on yours it won't make as much difference, dougl14:34
BluesKajbut on the plasma tv 120 is what I use at1920x108014:34
BluesKajon nvidia 8400gs14:35
douglBluesKaj, adjusted the font size too...but was a huge different after rebooting but the "fixed width" font in my settings panel won't change from ubuntu mono to ubuntu... is there a config file that go chmod'd to read only or what - experimenting... comments welcome and appreciated14:37
BluesKajdougl, dunno .... lordievader??14:39
douglBluesKaj, I have a 62" that clones 24" I think I will make it so it looks good there...14:39
lordievaderdougl: Probably somewhere in ~/.kde, but where exactly no idea. Grep around?14:40
BluesKajwell my old pc is a media server mostly now for the audio system and the tv...i'm using the laptoip more and more for computing and internet14:41
BluesKajor the "font management" in system settings dougl14:43
douglhmm... BluesKaj me too that is why I have not b een in the man cave for months... notebook in the kitchen and vnc or ssh to the desktops... never even noticed these font issues as it was alway ssh...14:43
douglfont management...14:43
douglk14:43
douglwhat would happen if I renamed .kde to kde.bak?14:48
lordievaderdougl: Then you loose all your kde settings.14:50

douglBluesKaj, lordievader all fixed up now - looks a bit big on the 24" monitor and awesome on the 62" TV... thanks alot guys - I appreciate the support and help...15:07

* monkeyjuice wonders how BluesKaj's uefi install went?15:08
BluesKajmonkeyjuice, i got it installed , after finding out the try/install kubuntu page required the down arrow key brings up that page , then used acpi-off and nomodeset, with the UEFI set to legacy...all inmstalled nd running well now .15:12
BluesKajstill not used to this lappy KB15:13
monkeyjuicewonderful, you should write that all down for us :)15:13
BluesKaji just did :)15:13
monkeyjuiceya i guess you did ;)15:14

=== gregorio is now known as Guest17542
BluesKajmonkeyjuice, looking in the forums i discovered that a lot od laptops different15:19
BluesKajdiferent mfgs use differnt keys etc to ge into the UEFI/BIOS and then the settings there use different terms as well or the same actions , it's getting messy to say the least15:20
BluesKajor=for15:21
BluesKajmydogsnameisrudy, there needs to be a convention and linux standard set up around the terms used for UEFI access and settings15:24
monkeyjuicewould be nice , i guess there needs to be more testing on it , then a good web/forum help setup15:34
FloodBotK1!netsplit15:42
ubottunetsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit15:42

AshishLlordievader : but here it isnt installed :(19:48
lordievaderAshishL: Can you find git with "apt-cache search git"?19:49
AshishLlordievader :http://www.pastebin.com/VY3zhBLZ19:52
lordievaderAshishL: May I see your /etc/apt/sources.list file?19:54
AshishLlordievader : how do i provide it ?19:54
lordievaderAshishL: If you have pastebinit installed: cat /etc/apt/sources.list|pastebinit19:55
AshishLlordievader : i dont have pastbinit installed19:56
lordievaderAshishL: "sudo apt-get install pastebinit"19:57
AshishLlordievader : same result as : http://pastebin.kde.org/pvuipg6de : says unable to locate package19:58
lordievaderAshishL: Have you disabled the main repo?19:59
lordievaderAshishL: Btw you can also open it with kate and copy it from there: kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list19:59
AshishLlordievader : i do not know . how to check if ive disabled it .(most probably its that only )20:01
lordievaderAshishL: That is why I want to see your sources.list ;)20:01
AshishLlordievader : kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list output is  sudo:20:02
lordievaderAshishL: From the kate window you copy the contents onto pastebin.20:03
AshishLlordievader : kate inst opening :(20:07
lordievaderAshishL: Did you get the window asking for your password?20:08
AshishLlordievader : no20:08
lordievaderYou did use kdesudo right? What version of Kubuntu are you running?20:09
AshishLlordievader : raring ringtail 13.0420:10
lordievaderAshishL: Hmm. That should actually work, but first lets fix the sources problem you could use "less" to read the sources file and copy it bit for bit. It is probably too large to display in one window.20:12
AshishLlordievader : ok :)20:13
AshishLlordievader : i searched the internet and found that my main repo was turned off so do i need to use  : Go to System>Administration>Software Sources and click the check box on universe.20:15
lordievaderuniverse != main20:16
lordievaderAshishL: And System >Administation>Sofware Sources sounds like Ubuntu...20:17
AshishLlordievader sorry >> : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu20:20
AshishLlordievader :  can you tell me how to enable universal repository in Kubuntu ?20:22
lordievaderAshishL: On the first tab of Software Sources are all of them ticked (except perhaps the source one)?20:23
AshishLlordievader :  in the system settings tab , theres no Software Sources Icon !!20:24
lordievaderAshishL: Open the Muon Package Manager20:25
lordievaderAshishL: Then Settings -> Software Sources <- That was what I was talking about.20:26
AshishLlordievader : all boxes are ticked even source 120:27
lordievaderAshishL: Ok, that should be good. Be sure to run "sudo apt-get update" before trying to install stuff.20:28
AshishLlordievader : its installing many things (a good sign ?? :) )20:29
lordievaderAshishL: Installing? apt-get update doesn't install stuff..20:30
AshishLlordievader :  sorry - updating :P20:30
AshishLlordievader :  after this update am i ready to install git ?20:32
lordievaderAshishL: You should be yes.20:33
AshishLlordievader : thanks . its working . finally ! feeling wonderful :D20:35
lordievaderAshishL: It is probably also a good idea to run "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" at this time.20:35
=== jeremy_ is now known as Guest16737
AshishLlordievader :  anymore commands ?20:38
