[14:37] <jeroenpraat> Does anyone else have problems with Firefox (50.0.2) hiding italic text
[14:37] <jeroenpraat> ?
[15:33] <jeroenpraat> oops sorry, it's not firefox, it's the font. when I choose dejavu or sans as default font I get this
[15:33] <jeroenpraat> but using dejavu in e.g. libreoffice works ok
[15:35] <jeroenpraat> it is also only with sans-serif, not with serif
[15:41] <jeroenpraat> reinstalling the dejavu packages fixed the problem < for future reference
[22:38] <el-nino_> hey.. i hav problem with gnome software
[22:38] <el-nino_> its not popping/opening
[22:39] <el-nino_> i tried few commands from ubuntu forum..but all in vain...
[22:40] <fuddie> el-nino_ , that's very strange.
[22:40] <el-nino_> instead i succesfully  installed ubuntu software center on my machine which is with gnome ubuntu
[22:41] <el-nino_> i tried to get help from gnome users.. but it didn't help very well.
[22:41] <fuddie> have you tried uninstalling gnome software and then reinstalling it?
[22:42] <el-nino_> haa.. i did even that...uninstalling & reinstalling through terminal
[22:43] <el-nino_> but it didn't seem to work
[22:43] <fuddie> well shoot that is really strange
[22:44] <el-nino_> i even checked few times of apt-get update
[22:44] <el-nino_> apt-get upgrade..all of that stuff
[22:44] <fuddie> you might have some luck asking on #ubuntu since it has 20 times the users.
[22:44] <el-nino_> let me confess... i am very new to linux..
[22:45] <el-nino_> i hav tried all the possibilities i knew
[22:46] <fuddie> try running it from the terminal. type ' gnome-software ' without quotes
[22:47] <fuddie> does it give you any sort of error?
[22:47] <el-nino> ha did that even.. it showed no reponse.. then i ran.. killall..too
[22:48] <el-nino_> ok.. let me start fresh
[22:49] <el-nino_> haa,.... here it is.... it shows no response again
[22:50] <fuddie> type ' apt policy gnome-software '
[22:51] <el-nino_> el-nino@elnino-HP-Pavilion-15-Notebook-PC:~$ apt policy gnome software
[22:51] <el-nino_> gnome:
[22:51] <el-nino_>   Installed: (none)
[22:51] <el-nino_>   Candidate: 1:3.14+3ubuntu1
[22:51] <el-nino_>   Version table:
[22:51] <el-nino_>      1:3.14+3ubuntu1 500

[22:51] <el-nino_> N: Unable to locate package software
[22:51] <el-nino_> el-nino@elnino-HP-Pavilion-15-Notebook-PC:~$
[22:51] <el-nino_> sry
[22:52] <el-nino_> https://paste.gnome.org/paybkfkhi
[22:53] <fuddie> it's "gnome-software" not "gnome software" The dash needs to be there.
[22:53] <fuddie> otherwise it just checks the entire gnome desktop :)
[22:54] <el-nino_> https://paste.gnome.org/pih7ngrvx
[22:55] <fuddie> plz type in terminal and show the result: ls ~/.local/share/gnome-software/
[22:57] <el-nino> https://paste.gnome.org/ptfnvjjh0
[22:59] <fuddie> ok, you just need to rename the 'install-queue' folder to something else (maybe install-queue-backup) and it should work
[23:00] <el-nino_> so.. command please
[23:01] <fuddie> mv ~/.local/share/gnome-software/ ~/.local/share/gnome-software-backup/
[23:02] <el-nino_> ha..done.... whats the checkpoint nw
[23:02] <fuddie> what do you mean by 'what's the checkpoint nw'?
[23:03] <el-nino_> sry.... hw to knw the command went well.... and what would be the subsequent steps
[23:03] <fuddie> it should be fixed now, try opening gnome software
[23:03] <fuddie> does it work?
[23:04] <el-nino_> haa...here its done... it opened succesfully.. thank you alot buddy....
[23:04] <fuddie> no problem, it is a bug that has not been fixed yet
[23:04] <el-nino_> but nw i do have ubuntu software center too on my machine.. how to get rid of it
[23:05] <fuddie> you may have it happen again. just save the command in a text file so you can remember it for later
[23:05] <fuddie> to remove ubuntu software center just type ' sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-software-center '
[23:06] <el-nino_> u mean like the command to move the file location should be saved or anyother stuff
[23:06] <fuddie> Just the command, you may need to remove the file again if you encounter the bug again later.
[23:07] <el-nino_> kk..
[23:08] <el-nino_> hey.. jst encountered another error while uninstalling the ubuntu-software-center
[23:09] <fuddie> oh, what kind of error? did it uninstall correctly?
[23:09] <el-nino_> https://paste.gnome.org/pyga1u5h2
[23:10] <fuddie> Oh, my bad, The package is actually just called "ubuntu-software". sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-software
[23:12] <el-nino_> now the command say that ubuntu center is not installed and not removed
[23:12] <fuddie> ubuntu-software?
[23:13] <el-nino> https://paste.gnome.org/pia8jg8xf
[23:14] <el-nino> but the GUI shows ubuntu software
[23:16] <fuddie> ok, maybe I have the wrong package name. sudo apt-get remove software-center
[23:17] <fuddie> Also, you could uninstall it from gnome software, just by finding it in the 'installed' tab at the top
[23:17] <fuddie> whichever you prefer
[23:20] <el-nino_> ha,,,,am done with it
[23:20] <el-nino_> can i ask for another favour
[23:20] <fuddie> sure
[23:21] <el-nino_> how to get Indic languages on IBUS r what ever may be the GUI character map
[23:22] <fuddie> el-nino_: I have no idea. sorry. Try asking on the #ubuntu channel, since it has 20 times as many users.
[23:22] <el-nino_> thank you
[23:23] <fuddie> no problem! i'm sorry you encountered such an odd bug.
[23:24] <el-nino_> its not the first time.... i got the same even on my ubuntu LTS16, ubutnu LTS 14...... in the same macine
[23:25] <el-nino_> each time i got fed up and shift to other OS
[23:25] <fuddie> haha, i would too
[23:26] <el-nino_> i also need to make a query.. why does bluetooth doesnt work no my machine with linux
[23:27] <fuddie> I don't know, i dont have bluetooth on my computer. It's probably a missing hardware driver.
[23:27] <el-nino_> the drivers, importantly graphical drivers
[23:28] <el-nino_> i work on HP-pavilion 15 laptop
[23:29] <fuddie> Try asking on the #ubuntu IRC channel, it has a lot more active users who can help
[23:29] <el-nino_> wtih intel i5 processor4gb rom, and 2gb dedicated nivida Geforce graphic card
[23:31] <el-nino_> :)
