| rcw2 | why is it so difficult to change the background of kubuntu | 00:53 |
| Addle | rcw2: What do you mean? Right click on desktop, choose Default Desktop Settings, then View (which should be the default anyways) and there we go. | 00:54 |
| rcw2 | Addle, wow, was it always this easy before 13.10? i never found these easy instructions in the past via search engines | 00:59 |
| Addle | rcw2: Pretty sure it's been like that for a loooong time. :) | 01:00 |

| lars__ | I¨m using Kubuntu 12.04, and I would like to install some extra fonts: how do I do that? Do I need to install a font management application using Muon? | 02:44 |
| lars__ | By the way, what kind of format would Berkeley font use? Is Berkeley a PostScript Type 1 font? | 02:47 |
| valorie | !fonts | 02:56 |
| ubottu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". For the official ubuntu font, see: http://font.ubuntu.com/ | 02:56 |
| valorie | lars__: ^^^ | 02:56 |
| lars__ | yeah? | 02:57 |
| lars__ | I need OpenType fonts, so I can use them for Windows, too | 02:57 |
| valorie | I never install extra fonts, and don't use win, so the above is as much as I know | 02:58 |
| valorie | hope it is helpful | 02:58 |
| lars__ | the first link did not work | 02:59 |
| valorie | just search for font in muon | 03:06 |
| valorie | not sure what the installer is called now | 03:07 |
| valorie | also, that's a wiki page so that you can fix it | 03:07 |

| lars__ | I found a good font manager using the Muon Software Centre, but it has some drawbacks and the critics cautioned against it if youŕe not an expert | 03:15 |
| lars__ | Itś called Font Manager | 03:16 |
| lars__ | It looks like it can cause problems by overwriting files and messing with your directories | 03:19 |
| lars__ | if you don¨t know what you¨re doing | 03:19 |
| lars__ | They say version 0.5.7 of Font Manager is dangerous, but I don¨t know what version the Muon Software Centre provides | 03:21 |
| lars__ | Has anyone ever heard of a package called edUbuntuFonts? | 03:25 |
| lars__ | Itś called edubuntu-fonts | 03:25 |

| lars__ | Why did you tell me that stuff about the font managers? | 03:46 |
| lars__ | Anyway, I just installed edubuntu-fonts | 03:46 |
| lars__ | I completed the installation, but I can¨t find it anywhere on my PC | 03:48 |
| lars__ | However, when I ran LibreOffice Writer I found a whole bunch of new fonts available: like a hundred new fonts | 03:54 |
| lars__ | but I don¨t see any fonts typically used by paginators and news editors | 03:54 |
| valorie | you asked about the version number; the bot knows that kind of information | 03:55 |
| lars__ | Isn¨t there a way to install fonts individually? | 03:55 |
| valorie | probably though the manager? | 03:55 |
| lars__ | I dont think I have a font manager | 03:55 |
| valorie | long time ago I downloaded them, then used the manager or config thing to install them | 03:56 |
| valorie | but.... long time ago | 03:56 |
| valorie | !info fontconfig | 03:56 |

| lars__ | Ok, I¨ve spent enough time on this font stuff, I´m getting nohwere, I¨ll just keep using Windows for desktop publishing for now | 04:01 |
| lars__ | thanks for trying to help, anyway | 04:01 |
| lars__ | Ironically, I¨m using Linux to download fonts, which I then copy into my Windows PC for desktop publishing. so far it¨s working, but I just hope I don¨t get malware when I try to download the Berkeley fonts | 04:04 |
| === bumblebee is now known as Guest50685 | ||
| lars__ | Actually, one of the new fonts I just installed from ¨eduubuntu-fonts¨ probably looks like Berkeley, but I haven¨ẗ figured out which one it is, if there is one in there somewhere | 04:06 |
| lars__ | May be one of the native Ubuntu or Linux fonts looks like Berkeley | 04:07 |

| Guest69060 | Hello, I'm trying to install dual boot from a live cd of 13.10 and I keep getting an error that ubi-partman has failed to load with error 141 | 12:04 |
| Guest69060 | Can anyone help me get this figured out? | 12:04 |
| Guest69060 | Hello, I'm trying to install dual boot from a live cd of 13.10 and I keep getting an error that ubi-partman has failed to load with error 141 | 12:05 |
| BluesKaj | Guest69060, do you have the ext/linux partition created ? | 12:08 |
| Guest69060 | yes | 12:09 |
| Guest69060 | blueskaj, I have a blank partition prepared that I shrunk from inside windows 8 | 12:11 |
| Guest69060 | blueskaj, in between sda5 and sda6 I have an unallocated 827gb that I intended to use for the kubuntu install | 12:13 |
| Guest69060 | I also checked the dvd for errors before running the install | 12:14 |
| BluesKaj | Guest69060, make sure you format the partition intended for kubuntu to ext4 first , it's easier and that should get rid of the error, Use gparted live cd to partition then install kubuntu | 12:17 |
| Guest69060 | blueskaj, I've got gparted up, I'm sorry for my ignorance, but I'm not easily seeing the controls to change the unallocated space to ext4 | 12:19 |
| BluesKaj | Guest69060, hifglight the unallocated space, right click choose "new" in the dialog, then ext4 in the drop down | 12:21 |
| BluesKaj | click apply | 12:22 |
| Guest69060 | I probably need to open gparted as super user, since I'm greyed out in the new section | 12:23 |
| BluesKaj | how many partitions primary partitions do have ? | 12:27 |
| Guest69060 | 7 | 12:27 |
| BluesKaj | oops let me rephrase that, how many primary partitions do you have ? | 12:28 |
| Guest69060 | 2 | 12:28 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 12:28 |
| Guest69060 | what is the terminal name for the kde partition manager? So I can open it in sudo? It's not qtparted or gparted | 12:29 |
| Guest69060 | got it open, but new is still greyed out | 12:31 |
| BluesKaj | Guest69060, are you running gparted live cd/media ? | 12:31 |
| Guest69060 | live cd | 12:32 |
| BluesKaj | you shouldn't need to be super user | 12:32 |
| Guest69060 | even in super user it's greyed out | 12:33 |
| Guest69060 | so it's not that | 12:33 |
| BluesKaj | unmount said partition | 12:33 |
| Guest69060 | unallocated is not mounted according to mtab | 12:35 |
| BluesKaj | you don't need to run a terminal in gparted, the dialogs in the gui should suffice | 12:37 |
| Guest69060 | all of my options in the gui under partition are greyed out | 12:39 |
| BluesKaj | perhaps you haven't finished applying the last command, click on the green checkmark | 12:42 |
| Guest69060 | apply is greyed out too | 12:42 |
| BluesKaj | can you highlight the unallocated partition? | 12:43 |
| Guest69060 | yeah it's highlit | 12:43 |
| BluesKaj | ok what options do you have when right clicking on it? | 12:44 |
| Guest69060 | Just properties | 12:45 |
| BluesKaj | weird, that usually means there's an OS installed and is unavailable because it's being used | 12:46 |
| Guest69060 | it's unallocated space though | 12:47 |
| BluesKaj | did you format it ? | 12:48 |
| BluesKaj | previously | 12:48 |
| Guest69060 | I used the windows shrink tool, is there anything else I needed to do? | 12:48 |
| Guest69060 | this computer was new in box this morning | 12:48 |
| BluesKaj | W8.1 right? | 12:49 |
| Guest69060 | yes | 12:49 |
| Guest69060 | http://imgur.com/pzMR4KO is what I'm seeing | 12:50 |
| BluesKaj | the new efi/bios poses a problem for installing linux from live media, and i prefer the gparted live cd to the kubuntu live cd for managing partitions before installing | 12:54 |
| Guest69060 | I can get gparted from muon, or should I download a gparted iso? | 12:55 |
| BluesKaj | get the iso and burn it, then it will be available for future use, it's a very handy tool | 12:56 |
| Guest69060 | blueskay, Ok I got gparted to make it an ext4 partition, although it's calling it New Partition #1 instead of sda# | 13:02 |
| Guest69060 | blueskaj, Ok I got gparted to make it an ext4 partition, although it's calling it New Partition #1 instead of sda# | 13:03 |
| BluesKaj | not sda1? | 13:04 |
| Guest69060 | sda1-6 are all named | 13:05 |
| BluesKaj | then it's probly a logical partition | 13:08 |
| Guest69060 | I've got it set to create as primary partition | 13:08 |
| BluesKaj | ok do s0 | 13:11 |
| BluesKaj | so | 13:11 |
| Guest69060 | so? | 13:14 |

| LostInstall | Can someone help me, I thought I was done installing 13.10 on a dual boot W8.1 machine, but whenever I select to load kubuntu I get an error saying windows failed to load. Gparted isn't showing an OS label on my partition for kubuntu, so maybe something failed on the install, but it looked ok. | 15:38 |
| LostInstall | http://imgur.com/GsooTMH is what my partitions look like | 15:41 |
| BluesKaj | LostInstall, on the live cd, open a terminal and run, sudo grub-install /dev/sda, then sudo update-grub, then reboot if your Windows and Kubuntu partitions are successfully listed i | 15:53 |
| BluesKaj | in grub | 15:54 |
| LostInstall | blueskaj, I just formatted the partition to start all over again. I'll do that if this doesn't work. Does the uefi boot mess with my ability to access grub? | 15:56 |
| BluesKaj | LostInstall, it might, I switched to Legacy mode and just wiped the drive of W8.1, reformatted the partitions / and /home to ext4 and swap, so my experince with mucking about with uefi boot etc is very limited | 16:00 |
| LostInstall | blueskaj, is there any downside to switching to legacy mode? | 16:02 |
| BluesKaj | LostInstall, don't think W8.1 UEFI/boot (mbr) likes legacyI. I had W8.1 on an older desktop that didn't use UEFI and booted perfectly fine from grub | 16:06 |
| BluesKaj | tried to research that question a while back and couldn't come to a clear conclusion , it's still all very murky and confusing to me | 16:08 |
