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

[02:23] <rww> was about to give !es, but I guess not.
[02:44] <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?
[02:47] <lars__> By the way, what kind of format would Berkeley font use?  Is Berkeley a PostScript Type 1 font?
[02:56] <valorie> !fonts
[02:56] <valorie> lars__: ^^^
[02:57] <lars__> yeah?
[02:57] <lars__> I need OpenType fonts, so I can use them for Windows, too
[02:58] <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
[02:59] <lars__> the first link did not work
[03:06] <valorie> just search for font in muon
[03:07] <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] <lucaskds> exit
[03:07] <lucaskds> Damn command line
[03:15] <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
[03:16] <lars__> Itś called Font Manager
[03:19] <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
[03:21] <lars__> They say version 0.5.7 of Font Manager is dangerous, but I don¨t know what version the Muon Software Centre provides
[03:25] <lars__> Has anyone ever heard of a package called edUbuntuFonts?
[03:25] <lars__> Itś called edubuntu-fonts
[03:31] <valorie> !info edubuntu-fonts
[03:31] <valorie> !info font-manager
[03:46] <lars__> Why did you tell me that stuff about the font managers?
[03:46] <lars__> Anyway, I just installed edubuntu-fonts
[03:48] <lars__> I completed the installation, but I can¨t find it anywhere on my PC
[03:54] <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
[03:55] <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
[03:56] <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
[03:57] <lars__> how do I install that, fontconfig?
[03:58] <lars__> Why do you guys keep using that exclamation sign?  What does it mean?
[04:01] <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
[04:04] <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
[04:06] <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
[04:07] <lars__> May be one of the native Ubuntu or Linux fonts looks like Berkeley
[04:07] <lars__> I¨m not sure
[07:06] <soee> hi, someone up ?

[07:58] <lordievader> Good morning.
[09:02] <kaddi> hi guys.. i'm havnig a problem with my laptop. Starting today the screen is stripey, I've checked and the problem doesn't appear in bios screen or during boot-up. So I'm guessing a module/driver issue in ubuntu. I'm using 13.10 up to date on a samsung with touchscreen...  Any suggestions how to troubleshoot?
[09:08] <hateball> kaddi: What video chipset do you have? Did you do any upgrades recently?
[09:09] <kaddi> hateball: intel haswell, if that's the right one? And I've updated 3 days ago, but it only appeared today and there were multiple reboots in between
[09:12] <hateball> kaddi: Hmmm, can you choose an older kernel in the grub menu and see if the issue persists?
[09:12] <kaddi> k, i can try
[09:12] <kaddi> bbiab
[09:14] <kaddi> i tried, same stripes
[09:20] <kaddi> hateball: not sure if you saw.. I have the same problems with 3.11.0.15 as I have with 3.11.0.17
[09:28] <kaddi> hateball: the output of lhsw -c video if it's of any help: http://pastebin.com/4WGR0dmn

[10:09] <ni291187> hi how do I restart x?
[10:11] <ni291187> hello?
[10:14] <lordievader> ni291187: Usually this is done by restarting your display manager, which probably is Lightdm, so: sudo service lightdm restart (run <-- from a tty not from your konsole)
[10:16] <Mamarok> why not just log out?

[11:34] <BluesKaj> ' Morning folks
[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
[12:04] <Guest69060> Can anyone help me get this figured out?
[12:05] <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
[12:08] <BluesKaj> Guest69060, do you have the ext/linux partition created ?
[12:09] <Guest69060> yes
[12:11] <Guest69060> blueskaj, I have a blank partition prepared that I shrunk from inside windows 8
[12:13] <Guest69060> blueskaj, in between sda5 and sda6 I have an unallocated 827gb that I intended to use for the kubuntu install
[12:14] <Guest69060> I also checked the dvd for errors before running the install
[12:17] <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
[12:19] <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
[12:21] <BluesKaj> Guest69060, hifglight the unallocated space, right click choose "new" in the dialog, then ext4 in the drop down
[12:22] <BluesKaj> click apply
[12:23] <Guest69060> I probably need to open gparted as super user, since I'm greyed out in the new section
[12:27] <BluesKaj> how many partitions primary partitions do have ?
[12:27] <Guest69060> 7
[12:28] <BluesKaj> oops let me rephrase that, how many primary partitions do you have ?
[12:28] <Guest69060> 2
[12:28] <BluesKaj> ok
[12:29] <Guest69060> what is the terminal name for the kde partition manager? So I can open it in sudo? It's not qtparted or gparted
[12:31] <Guest69060> got it open, but new is still greyed out
[12:31] <BluesKaj> Guest69060, are you running gparted live cd/media ?
[12:32] <Guest69060> live cd
[12:32] <BluesKaj> you shouldn't need to be super user
[12:33] <Guest69060> even in super user it's greyed out
[12:33] <Guest69060> so it's not that
[12:33] <BluesKaj> unmount said partition
[12:35] <Guest69060> unallocated is not mounted according to mtab
[12:37] <BluesKaj> you don't need to run a terminal in gparted, the dialogs in the gui should suffice
[12:39] <Guest69060> all of my options in the gui under partition are greyed out
[12:42] <BluesKaj> perhaps you haven't finished applying the last command, click on the green checkmark
[12:42] <Guest69060> apply is greyed out too
[12:43] <BluesKaj> can you highlight the unallocated partition?
[12:43] <Guest69060> yeah it's highlit
[12:44] <BluesKaj> ok what options do you have when right clicking on it?
[12:45] <Guest69060> Just properties
[12:46] <BluesKaj> weird, that usually means there's an OS installed and is unavailable because it's being used
[12:47] <Guest69060> it's unallocated space though
[12:48] <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
[12:49] <BluesKaj> W8.1 right?
[12:49] <Guest69060> yes
[12:50] <Guest69060> http://imgur.com/pzMR4KO is what I'm seeing
[12:54] <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
[12:55] <Guest69060> I can get gparted from muon, or should I download a gparted iso?
[12:56] <BluesKaj> get the iso and burn it, then it will be available for future use, it's a very handy tool
[13:02] <Guest69060> blueskay, Ok I got gparted to make it an ext4 partition, although it's calling it New Partition #1 instead of sda#
[13:03] <Guest69060> blueskaj, Ok I got gparted to make it an ext4 partition, although it's calling it New Partition #1 instead of sda#
[13:04] <BluesKaj> not sda1?
[13:05] <Guest69060> sda1-6 are all named
[13:08] <BluesKaj> then it's probly a logical partition
[13:08] <Guest69060> I've got it set to create as primary partition
[13:11] <BluesKaj> ok do s0
[13:11] <BluesKaj> so
[13:14] <Guest69060> so?
[13:15] <Guest69060> yeah
[13:16] <Guest69060> I've done so
[13:16] <Guest69060> I get an error about the backup gpt table not being at the end of the disk
[13:20] <Guest69060> looks like we're on track now
[13:20] <Guest69060> blueskay, thanks for your help
[13:21] <Guest69060> blueskaj, thanks for your help
[13:22] <BluesKaj> Guest69060, glad to hear it, good luck and enjoy Kubuntu :)
[14:26] <luyanfeng> hello
[15:38] <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.
[15:41] <LostInstall> http://imgur.com/GsooTMH is what my partitions look like
[15:53] <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
[15:54] <BluesKaj> in grub
[15:56] <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?
[16:00] <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
[16:02] <LostInstall> blueskaj, is there any downside to switching to legacy mode?
[16:06] <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
[16:08] <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
[16:09] <BluesKaj> but I have errands to do, so i have to leave for a while....BBL
[16:10] <LostInstall> thanks for the help
