[00:01] hi [00:53] why is it so difficult to change the background of kubuntu [00:54] 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. [00:59] Addle, wow, was it always this easy before 13.10? i never found these easy instructions in the past via search engines [01:00] rcw2: Pretty sure it's been like that for a loooong time. :) [01:00] wow wtf [01:00] Well, at least you got it sorted. hehe [01:02] ya, ty [01:02] np :) === fr1lancer is now known as bfr1 [02:21] ola [02:21] hay alguien que lea esto?

[02:44] 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? [02:47] By the way, what kind of format would Berkeley font use? Is Berkeley a PostScript Type 1 font? [02:56] !fonts [02:56] 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] lars__: ^^^ [02:57] yeah? [02:57] I need OpenType fonts, so I can use them for Windows, too [02:58] I never install extra fonts, and don't use win, so the above is as much as I know [02:58] hope it is helpful [02:59] the first link did not work [03:06] just search for font in muon [03:07] not sure what the installer is called now [03:07] also, that's a wiki page so that you can fix it [03:07] exit [03:07] Damn command line [03:15] 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 [03:16] Itś called Font Manager [03:19] It looks like it can cause problems by overwriting files and messing with your directories [03:19] if you don¨t know what you¨re doing [03:21] They say version 0.5.7 of Font Manager is dangerous, but I don¨t know what version the Muon Software Centre provides [03:25] Has anyone ever heard of a package called edUbuntuFonts? [03:25] Itś called edubuntu-fonts [03:31] !info edubuntu-fonts [03:31] edubuntu-fonts (source: edubuntu-meta): Additional fonts included on a default Edubuntu system.

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

[12:05] 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 [12:08] Guest69060, do you have the ext/linux partition created ? [12:09] yes [12:11] blueskaj, I have a blank partition prepared that I shrunk from inside windows 8 [12:13] blueskaj, in between sda5 and sda6 I have an unallocated 827gb that I intended to use for the kubuntu install [12:14] I also checked the dvd for errors before running the install [12:17] 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 [12:19] 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 [12:21] Guest69060, hifglight the unallocated space, right click choose "new" in the dialog, then ext4 in the drop down [12:22] click apply [12:23] I probably need to open gparted as super user, since I'm greyed out in the new section [12:27] how many partitions primary partitions do have ? [12:27] 7 [12:28] oops let me rephrase that, how many primary partitions do you have ? [12:28] 2 [12:28] ok [12:29] what is the terminal name for the kde partition manager? So I can open it in sudo? It's not qtparted or gparted [12:31] got it open, but new is still greyed out [12:31] Guest69060, are you running gparted live cd/media ? [12:32] live cd [12:32] you shouldn't need to be super user [12:33] even in super user it's greyed out [12:33] so it's not that [12:33] unmount said partition [12:35] unallocated is not mounted according to mtab [12:37] you don't need to run a terminal in gparted, the dialogs in the gui should suffice [12:39] all of my options in the gui under partition are greyed out [12:42] perhaps you haven't finished applying the last command, click on the green checkmark [12:42] apply is greyed out too [12:43] can you highlight the unallocated partition? [12:43] yeah it's highlit [12:44] ok what options do you have when right clicking on it? [12:45] Just properties [12:46] weird, that usually means there's an OS installed and is unavailable because it's being used [12:47] it's unallocated space though [12:48] did you format it ? [12:48] previously [12:48] I used the windows shrink tool, is there anything else I needed to do? [12:48] this computer was new in box this morning [12:49] W8.1 right? [12:49] yes [12:50] http://imgur.com/pzMR4KO is what I'm seeing [12:54] 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 [12:55] I can get gparted from muon, or should I download a gparted iso? [12:56] get the iso and burn it, then it will be available for future use, it's a very handy tool [13:02] blueskay, Ok I got gparted to make it an ext4 partition, although it's calling it New Partition #1 instead of sda# [13:03] blueskaj, Ok I got gparted to make it an ext4 partition, although it's calling it New Partition #1 instead of sda# [13:04] not sda1? [13:05] sda1-6 are all named [13:08] then it's probly a logical partition [13:08] I've got it set to create as primary partition [13:11] ok do s0 [13:11] so [13:14] so? [13:15] yeah [13:16] I've done so [13:16] I get an error about the backup gpt table not being at the end of the disk [13:20] looks like we're on track now [13:20] blueskay, thanks for your help [13:21] blueskaj, thanks for your help [13:22] Guest69060, glad to hear it, good luck and enjoy Kubuntu :) === kubuntu is now known as Guest65994 [14:26] hello === freeflying is now known as freeflying_away === Lost is now known as Guest79412 [15:38] 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. [15:41] http://imgur.com/GsooTMH is what my partitions look like [15:53] 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 [15:54] in grub [15:56] 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? [16:00] 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 [16:02] blueskaj, is there any downside to switching to legacy mode? [16:06] 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 [16:08] 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 [16:09] but I have errands to do, so i have to leave for a while....BBL [16:10] thanks for the help [16:23] anyone using kde's menu button in titlebars and having trouble getting it working correctly in firefox?
