[00:18] <David-A> peter_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?
[00:21] <peter_fo> I do the experiment in Mousepad.
[00:21] <peter_fo> When typing ooooo, still fine. But when adding a 'p', it gets chopped at top.

[00:22] <danmc> Hello.  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 col
[00:22] <danmc> any suggestions on where to look to fix this?  Static images in firefox are fine and the audio works fine.
[00:25] <David-A> peter_fo: looks ok in my mouspad v0.2.16
[00:26] <peter_fo> Mine is Mousepad 0.3.0.
[00:26] <danmc> http://imagebin.org/289831 shows what I mean
[00:26] <David-A> peter_fo: I have now tested with and without specified custom dpi=100 in settings>appearance, in terminal and mouspad, and no chopped chars
[00:27] <David-A> peter_fo: have you customized dpi or anti-alias hinting?
[00:28] <David-A> peter_fo: (If I can't reproduce, it may be that my system is very old and very different)
[00:29] <peter_fo> A moment..
[00:34] <peter_fo> SOLVED! Thanks. Yes, it was the "Custom DPI setting". Now is unchecked, and the font rendering is okay.
[00:37] <David-A> peter_fo: nice, but for my part, I want the custom dpi to make the fonts look good
[00:38] <David-A> peter_fo: can you find some other dpi, or a hinting, that makes your fonts perfect again?
[00:42] <peter_fo> Tried DPI 100 but chops. An interesting: when moving with the cursor downwards, it "repairs" the lines. When moving upwards, lines get wrong again. (chopped)
[00:44] <peter_fo> bye
[00:58] <peter_fo> Sorry: for sizes 13 (and up) Droid Sans Mono bold still gets chopped, despite of uncecking the "Custom DPI setting" in Appearance. :(

[03:31] <holstein> sizzam1: why not just automatially partition with the installer? looks like you have no boot device, meaning, you havent installed a boot loader
[03:31] <sizzam1> holstein, ok, i'll try that
[03:32] <holstein> sizzam1: 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] <sizzam1> i saw it say it was installing grub during the install process
[03:32] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[03:32] <sizzam1> will that automatically create a home partition?
[03:32] <holstein> sizzam1: all in one partition, which is what i prefer, unless i have a seperate drive.. but, you are welcome to do what you like
[03:33] <holstein> sizzam1: wont hurt to try the boot repair option

[17:22] <akki2200> My usb mouse is not detected
[17:23] <holstein> i 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 supported
[17:23] <holstein> akki2200: ^
[17:24] <adrenaline_> good advice holstein
[17:24] <holstein> adrenaline_: thanks
[17:24] <akki2200> Ya did tht already
[17:25] <holstein> akki2200: did what? you tested the mouse on other hardware? where? in linux? or windows? both?
[17:25] <akki2200> Windows 8
[17:25] <holstein> akki2200: you have no hub's attached, correct? and you have tried *all* other ports?
[17:25] <akki2200> And tried all usb port
[17:26] <akki2200> Yup
[17:26] <holstein> akki2200: do other USB devices work on the linux machine?
[17:26] <akki2200> Ya my mobile gets connected
[17:27] <TheSheep> akki2200: does lsusb show your mouse when you connect it?
[17:27] <akki2200> I reinstalled xubuntu just now
[17:27] <holstein> akki2200: in response to this issue?
[17:27] <akki2200> No not bcoz of this issue
[17:28] <akki2200> It doesnt show in lsusb
[17:28] <holstein> akki2200: why is that relevant? becuase its a fresh install? are you up to date with upgrades?
[17:28] <holstein> akki2200: have you *ever* seen the mouse work with any linux distro?
[17:28] <akki2200> Earlier it was working
[17:29] <holstein> akki2200: when? and why? what did you do to "break" it?
[17:29] <akki2200> W8 let me try few more things
[17:29] <TheSheep> akki2200: any relevant messages in dmesg?
[17:29] <holstein> akki2200: windows 8 is irrelevant.. you can only use that to see if the device isnt broken.. otherewise, the driver support is totaly different
[17:31] <arviceblot> Hello everyone, I'm wondering if I could get some help with some weird graphical artifacts.
[17:32] <slickymaster> knome: I've to go and pick up my kid at school. will be back in about 45 minutes
[17:32] <holstein> my 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 help
[17:36] <akki2200> I have my modem connected but its not showing here and also my sound drivers are missing wired
[17:36] <akki2200> Weird*
[17:37] <holstein> akki2200: you have no sound?
[17:37] <akki2200> Nope
[17:37] <akki2200> No net connectivity
[17:37] <akki2200> And only keyboard
[17:38] <holstein> akki2200:  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 equation
[17:38] <holstein> !audio
[17:38] <ubottu> If 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] <holstein> specifically the command in the terminal "aplay -l" is helpful to see what alsa is able to use
[17:38] <akki2200> Man i would have clicked tht volume applet but my mouse isnt working
[17:39] <akki2200> No sound cards
[17:41] <akki2200> Everything is working in live usb
[17:42] <holstein> akki2200: then, i would test the hard drive.. and think about what specifically are the differences in that live environment and your installed OS
[17:42] <holstein> if 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 support
[17:43] <adrenaline_> akki2200, is you linux installed bare metal or some type of VM?
[17:43] <holstein> adrenaline_: thats a good point.. i was assuming bare metal..
[17:45] <akki2200> Bare metal?
[17:45] <adrenaline_> directly to a hard drive vrs Virtualbox/VmWare
[17:46] <akki2200> Hard drive
[17:46] <akki2200> Can i update through live usb?
[17:46] <holstein> akki2200: update what?
[17:47] <holstein> akki2200: the installed system?
[17:47] <akki2200> Drivers
[17:47] <akki2200> Ya
[17:47] <adrenaline_> Why would you want to do that?
[17:47] <adrenaline_> Just update the installed system or did I miss something?
[17:47] <holstein> akki2200: 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 updates
[17:48] <adrenaline_> oh ok I get it now
[17:48] <holstein> adrenaline_: i think networking is broken.. and im again assuming both wired and wireless..
[17:48] <akki2200> My hard drive is fine it was working and i know if i do complete reinstall it will work again
[17:48] <holstein> otherwise, wire it up to network and update
[17:48] <holstein> akki2200: if you dont test, then you dont know.. and you are assuming.. *all* hard drives fail
[17:49] <akki2200> Thts the problem i think the network drivers are alo missing
[17:49] <akki2200> Also*
[17:49] <holstein> akki2200: they are in the kernel, friend.. the kernel is modular
[17:49] <akki2200> Its not connecting to my modem
[17:49] <holstein> akki2200: if the live instance supports, then the installed should. if you feel reinstallation would fix, then reinstall
[17:49] <akki2200> I can access internet in live usb

[19:41] <Monkeytoe> i 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?
[19:42] <David-A> heavyammo: 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] <baizon> Monkeytoe: there is only 1 driver for a video card
[19:43] <Monkeytoe> I now have 2 different video cards though. The same driver works for 2 different cards?
[19:43] <heavyammo> David-A, I don't see it on mine, where is it supposed to be
[19:44] <baizon> Monkeytoe: if it support both, yes
[19:44] <baizon> if not, install the newer one
[19:44] <baizon> Monkeytoe: the newer driver always supports older graphics cards
[19:44] <Monkeytoe> well 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.
[19:45] <baizon> Monkeytoe: which version do you have then?
[19:45] <Monkeytoe> the fglrx updates one that comes with 13.11
[19:46] <Monkeytoe> says driver packaging version 9.012-121219A-151962C-ATI
[19:46] <Monkeytoe> under catalyst control panel "driver packaging version"
[19:46] <Monkeytoe> 2d driver version is 13.10.10
[19:46] <Monkeytoe> I am almost positive this driver should be recognizing the r9
[19:46] <baizon> Monkeytoe: well you need the 13.12
[19:46] <Monkeytoe> ah
[19:46] <baizon> this support the 280 series
[19:46] <David-A> heavyammo: in xfce4-mixer tap Options, and in alsamixer far to the right (for a card named "HDA ATI SB")
[19:47] <baizon> Monkeytoe: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/amdcatalyst13-12linreleasenotes.aspx
[19:47] <David-A> heavyammo: maybe it depends on the audio chip what options there are
[19:47] <Monkeytoe> to get that driver do I just uninstall fglrx-updates and then download the one from amd's website?
[19:47] <baizon> Monkeytoe: yes
[19:48] <David-A> heavyammo: have you looked into bios settings, if there is something there?
[19:48] <heavyammo> David-A, I actually found AUTO MUTE when I expanded the terminal window
[19:48] <heavyammo> now I have sound coming out both from my internel and usb speakers
[19:48] <heavyammo> Outstanding.
[19:48] <Monkeytoe> i have one other question if you dont mind.... I havent been able to install updates in about a week. When I do sudo apt-get update I get "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net saucy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 981605430AE7FCDA
[19:48] <Monkeytoe> "
[19:48] <heavyammo> Thanks a lot David-A !!
[19:49] <heavyammo> long live linux, you just need to know how to do stuff...
[19:49] <baizon> Monkeytoe: install the gpg key again from the ppa
[19:49] <baizon> that will fix the problemn
[19:49] <David-A> heavyammo: the next time you can also try right-arrow insteadof widening the terminal
[19:58] <Monkeytoe> meh net crashed
[19:59] <Monkeytoe> ok im on the site https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy ... how do I get the pubkey to reinstall?
[19:59] <Monkeytoe> never done this before

[23:12] <SolidLog> Anyone know if you can set the super key in Ubuntu Studio to bring up a hotkey list like it does in ubuntu?
[23:14] <knome> SolidLog, the answer: no; the right channel: #ubuntustudio
[23:14] <knome> basically, that's a feature specific for unity.
[23:16] <SolidLog> I was just in that channel
[23:16] <SolidLog> Someone told me to ask here for some reason
[23:16] <Unit193> There was an old proposal for it, but nothing ever came of it: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Quantal/KeyboardShortcutsOverlay
[23:16] <knome> SolidLog, yep, just heard that as well; no problem
[23:17] <knome> Unit193, well apparently there is a python implementation of that...
[23:17] <knome> https://launchpad.net/xfce4-keyboard-overlay
[23:17] <knome> how well that works? no idea.
[23:19] <SolidLog> ok

[23:21] <knome> about xfce4-keyboard-overlay
[23:21] <bluesabre> whats up?
[23:22] <bluesabre> well, its currently written in python, a bit heavy for something you summon wit a keypress, would like to port it to vala
[23:22] <bluesabre> but pretty much functional as is, who's asking?
[23:23] <knome> bluesabre, SolidLog, though see Unit193's paste for the "pretty much functional" part
[23:23] <bluesabre> sweet
[23:23] <SolidLog> I was asking
[23:23] <bluesabre> thats what happens between a few gtk versions :)
[23:24] <ochosi> iirc we decided that it would have to be re-done in C
[23:24] <bluesabre> yeah, C or vala
[23:24] <ochosi> and access xfconf directly
[23:24] <bluesabre> I can try to update it soon if you'd like SolidLog
[23:25] <bluesabre> I don't think we were intending to ship it in 14.04, right?
[23:25] <SolidLog> Would be good if it's not too much trouble
[23:26] <knome> bluesabre, yes and no, not a high priority...
[23:26] <SolidLog> I am on Ubuntu Studio, not sure if that's a problem or not
[23:26] <SolidLog> ?
[23:26] <Unit193> bluesabre: 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] <Unit193> SolidLog: Ubuntustudio is basically Xubuntu with studio apps on top (not quite, but close.)
[23:26] <knome> don't know if there's some hardcoded stuff or not
[23:26] <bluesabre> nah, things will steady out now so I will have more time, at least for 14.10
[23:27] <Unit193> (Default settins and programs differ a tad.)
[23:31] <SolidLog> I like to use the LTS releases of debian/ubuntu/those linux things
[23:32] <SolidLog> I 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 out
[23:32] <SolidLog> I liked that
[23:33] <SolidLog> I hope I'm not just making crap up lol
[23:38] <SolidLog> Sorry 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 ran
[23:39] <SolidLog> If 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] <Unit193> Select with mouse, right click, copy.
[23:45] <SolidLog> Had to highlight it & middle mouse click
