David-Apeter_fo: I am trying  droid sans mono bold 11 in an xfce4-terminal v0.4.3, and it is not chopped. is there a special place/program where this happens?00:18
peter_foI do the experiment in Mousepad.00:21
peter_foWhen typing ooooo, still fine. But when adding a 'p', it gets chopped at top.00:21
=== xubuntu585 is now known as danmc
danmcHello.  I have installed xubuntu 13.10 and things mostly went well but web sites that use flash like youtube or www.gpb.org/georgia-outdoors/season-18/episode/okefenokee have corrupted video.  I'm not quite sure how to best describe what I see.  The width of the video is about half of what it should be and while I can sort of make out what is playing it looks horrible like columns of pixels have been dropped compressing things and col00:22
danmcany suggestions on where to look to fix this?  Static images in firefox are fine and the audio works fine.00:22
David-Apeter_fo: looks ok in my mouspad v0.2.1600:25
peter_foMine is Mousepad 0.3.0.00:26
danmchttp://imagebin.org/289831 shows what I mean00:26
David-Apeter_fo: I have now tested with and without specified custom dpi=100 in settings>appearance, in terminal and mouspad, and no chopped chars00:26
David-Apeter_fo: have you customized dpi or anti-alias hinting?00:27
David-Apeter_fo: (If I can't reproduce, it may be that my system is very old and very different)00:28
peter_foA moment..00:29
peter_foSOLVED! Thanks. Yes, it was the "Custom DPI setting". Now is unchecked, and the font rendering is okay.00:34
David-Apeter_fo: nice, but for my part, I want the custom dpi to make the fonts look good00:37
David-Apeter_fo: can you find some other dpi, or a hinting, that makes your fonts perfect again?00:38
peter_foTried DPI 100 but chops. An interesting: when moving with the cursor downwards, it "repairs" the lines. When moving upwards, lines get wrong again. (chopped)00:42
peter_fobye00:44
peter_foSorry: for sizes 13 (and up) Droid Sans Mono bold still gets chopped, despite of uncecking the "Custom DPI setting" in Appearance. :(00:58

sizzam1i'm trying to install xubuntu on my first UEFI laptop.   it will be the only OS.  i wiped out the hard drive and just created a root, home, and swap partition, but when i reboot i get "boot device not found".  anyone know what i need to do?03:28
holsteinsizzam1: why not just automatially partition with the installer? looks like you have no boot device, meaning, you havent installed a boot loader03:31
sizzam1holstein, ok, i'll try that03:31
holsteinsizzam1: i would just run the installer, and let it use the entire disk, but, if you have an install there, you can use..03:32
sizzam1i saw it say it was installing grub during the install process03:32
holsteinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair03:32
sizzam1will that automatically create a home partition?03:32
holsteinsizzam1: all in one partition, which is what i prefer, unless i have a seperate drive.. but, you are welcome to do what you like03:32
holsteinsizzam1: wont hurt to try the boot repair option03:33

akki2200My usb mouse is not detected17:22
holsteini would remove any usb hubs. and other usb hardware.. i would try other avialable ports.. i would test the mouse on other hardware to make sure that hardware is functionion properly, and i would try other USB hardware on this machine and see that USB is working and supported17:23
holsteinakki2200: ^17:23
adrenaline_good advice holstein17:24
holsteinadrenaline_: thanks17:24
akki2200Ya did tht already17:24
holsteinakki2200: did what? you tested the mouse on other hardware? where? in linux? or windows? both?17:25
akki2200Windows 817:25
holsteinakki2200: you have no hub's attached, correct? and you have tried *all* other ports?17:25
akki2200And tried all usb port17:25
akki2200Yup17:26
holsteinakki2200: do other USB devices work on the linux machine?17:26
akki2200Ya my mobile gets connected17:26
TheSheepakki2200: does lsusb show your mouse when you connect it?17:27
akki2200I reinstalled xubuntu just now17:27
holsteinakki2200: in response to this issue?17:27
akki2200No not bcoz of this issue17:27
akki2200It doesnt show in lsusb17:28
holsteinakki2200: why is that relevant? becuase its a fresh install? are you up to date with upgrades?17:28
holsteinakki2200: have you *ever* seen the mouse work with any linux distro?17:28
akki2200Earlier it was working17:28
holsteinakki2200: when? and why? what did you do to "break" it?17:29
akki2200W8 let me try few more things17:29
TheSheepakki2200: any relevant messages in dmesg?17:29
holsteinakki2200: windows 8 is irrelevant.. you can only use that to see if the device isnt broken.. otherewise, the driver support is totaly different17:29
arviceblotHello everyone, I'm wondering if I could get some help with some weird graphical artifacts.17:31
slickymasterknome: I've to go and pick up my kid at school. will be back in about 45 minutes17:32
holsteinmy advice usually starts before purchase.. purchase hardware that supports the operating system you want to use.. at this stage, just trying other drivers if they are available can help17:32
akki2200I have my modem connected but its not showing here and also my sound drivers are missing wired17:36
akki2200Weird*17:36
holsteinakki2200: you have no sound?17:37
akki2200Nope17:37
akki2200No net connectivity17:37
akki2200And only keyboard17:37
holsteinakki2200:  i usually run a live CD, ad try and troubleshoot as much of that before installation.. it can also remove the hard drive and installed operating system from the equation17:38
holstein!audio17:38
ubottuIf you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.17:38
holsteinspecifically the command in the terminal "aplay -l" is helpful to see what alsa is able to use17:38
akki2200Man i would have clicked tht volume applet but my mouse isnt working17:38
akki2200No sound cards17:39
akki2200Everything is working in live usb17:41
holsteinakki2200: then, i would test the hard drive.. and think about what specifically are the differences in that live environment and your installed OS17:42
holsteinif you accepted updates during the installation process, then you can have different packages in the installed os that were not on the live CD. the newer kernel and/or alsa firmware packages that may have been installed could be breaking support17:42
adrenaline_akki2200, is you linux installed bare metal or some type of VM?17:43
holsteinadrenaline_: thats a good point.. i was assuming bare metal..17:43
akki2200Bare metal?17:45
adrenaline_directly to a hard drive vrs Virtualbox/VmWare17:45
akki2200Hard drive17:46
akki2200Can i update through live usb?17:46
holsteinakki2200: update what?17:46
holsteinakki2200: the installed system?17:47
akki2200Drivers17:47
akki2200Ya17:47
adrenaline_Why would you want to do that?17:47
adrenaline_Just update the installed system or did I miss something?17:47
holsteinakki2200: you can, but this is what i still suggest.. if the live CD supports the hardware, and the installed system doesnt, i would test the hard drive first, then, reinstall, and dont take updates17:47
adrenaline_oh ok I get it now17:48
holsteinadrenaline_: i think networking is broken.. and im again assuming both wired and wireless..17:48
akki2200My hard drive is fine it was working and i know if i do complete reinstall it will work again17:48
holsteinotherwise, wire it up to network and update17:48
holsteinakki2200: if you dont test, then you dont know.. and you are assuming.. *all* hard drives fail17:48
akki2200Thts the problem i think the network drivers are alo missing17:49
akki2200Also*17:49
holsteinakki2200: they are in the kernel, friend.. the kernel is modular17:49
akki2200Its not connecting to my modem17:49
holsteinakki2200: if the live instance supports, then the installed should. if you feel reinstallation would fix, then reinstall17:49
akki2200I can access internet in live usb17:49

Monkeytoei have an amd 7950 currently in my xubuntu 13.11 machine. I just got an r9 280x that I added in. What is the process of installing drivers for a second video card?19:41
David-Aheavyammo: my alsamixer has an option "Independent HeadPhone" on/off. (I don't know if that does exaktly what you want or if you have it)19:42
baizonMonkeytoe: there is only 1 driver for a video card19:42
MonkeytoeI now have 2 different video cards though. The same driver works for 2 different cards?19:43
heavyammoDavid-A, I don't see it on mine, where is it supposed to be19:43
baizonMonkeytoe: if it support both, yes19:44
baizonif not, install the newer one19:44
baizonMonkeytoe: the newer driver always supports older graphics cards19:44
Monkeytoewell I have the second card installed. When I open up AMD catalyst control panel I only see the old 7950. It does not show the r9 280x.19:44
baizonMonkeytoe: which version do you have then?19:45
Monkeytoethe fglrx updates one that comes with 13.1119:45
Monkeytoesays driver packaging version 9.012-121219A-151962C-ATI19:46
Monkeytoeunder catalyst control panel "driver packaging version"19:46
Monkeytoe2d driver version is 13.10.1019:46
MonkeytoeI am almost positive this driver should be recognizing the r919:46
baizonMonkeytoe: well you need the 13.1219:46
Monkeytoeah19:46
baizonthis support the 280 series19:46
David-Aheavyammo: in xfce4-mixer tap Options, and in alsamixer far to the right (for a card named "HDA ATI SB")19:46
baizonMonkeytoe: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/amdcatalyst13-12linreleasenotes.aspx19:47
David-Aheavyammo: maybe it depends on the audio chip what options there are19:47
Monkeytoeto get that driver do I just uninstall fglrx-updates and then download the one from amd's website?19:47
baizonMonkeytoe: yes19:47
David-Aheavyammo: have you looked into bios settings, if there is something there?19:48
heavyammoDavid-A, I actually found AUTO MUTE when I expanded the terminal window19:48
heavyammonow I have sound coming out both from my internel and usb speakers19:48

heavyammolong live linux, you just need to know how to do stuff...19:49
baizonMonkeytoe: install the gpg key again from the ppa19:49
baizonthat will fix the problemn19:49

knomebluesabre, SolidLog, though see Unit193's paste for the "pretty much functional" part23:23
bluesabresweet23:23
SolidLogI was asking23:23
bluesabrethats what happens between a few gtk versions :)23:23
ochosiiirc we decided that it would have to be re-done in C23:24
bluesabreyeah, C or vala23:24
ochosiand access xfconf directly23:24
bluesabreI can try to update it soon if you'd like SolidLog23:24
bluesabreI don't think we were intending to ship it in 14.04, right?23:25
SolidLogWould be good if it's not too much trouble23:25
knomebluesabre, yes and no, not a high priority...23:26
SolidLogI am on Ubuntu Studio, not sure if that's a problem or not23:26
SolidLog?23:26
Unit193bluesabre: I think not, might be nice to target the re-write for .10, but I'm guessing that's too much with the others you're maintaining. :)23:26
Unit193SolidLog: Ubuntustudio is basically Xubuntu with studio apps on top (not quite, but close.)23:26
knomedon't know if there's some hardcoded stuff or not23:26
bluesabrenah, things will steady out now so I will have more time, at least for 14.1023:26
Unit193(Default settins and programs differ a tad.)23:27
SolidLogI like to use the LTS releases of debian/ubuntu/those linux things23:31
SolidLogI think I noticed with Ubuntu Studio that the data sending options were pre-unticked as opposed to ubuntu where you have to go find the settings & opt out23:32
SolidLogI liked that23:32
SolidLogI hope I'm not just making crap up lol23:33
SolidLogSorry if this is the wrong place to ask this. But I'm trying to copy an admin token for teamspeak from the sh that I ran23:38
SolidLogIf I ctrl+c to try & copy the token it closes the sh/terminal window & then I have to delete the server & start another one to get an admin key.23:39
Unit193Select with mouse, right click, copy.23:39
