[14:37] Does anyone else have problems with Firefox (50.0.2) hiding italic text [14:37] ? [15:33] oops sorry, it's not firefox, it's the font. when I choose dejavu or sans as default font I get this [15:33] but using dejavu in e.g. libreoffice works ok [15:35] it is also only with sans-serif, not with serif [15:41] reinstalling the dejavu packages fixed the problem < for future reference [22:38] hey.. i hav problem with gnome software [22:38] its not popping/opening [22:39] i tried few commands from ubuntu forum..but all in vain... [22:40] el-nino_ , that's very strange. [22:40] instead i succesfully installed ubuntu software center on my machine which is with gnome ubuntu [22:41] i tried to get help from gnome users.. but it didn't help very well. [22:41] have you tried uninstalling gnome software and then reinstalling it? [22:42] haa.. i did even that...uninstalling & reinstalling through terminal [22:43] but it didn't seem to work [22:43] well shoot that is really strange [22:44] i even checked few times of apt-get update [22:44] apt-get upgrade..all of that stuff [22:44] you might have some luck asking on #ubuntu since it has 20 times the users. [22:44] let me confess... i am very new to linux.. [22:45] i hav tried all the possibilities i knew [22:46] try running it from the terminal. type ' gnome-software ' without quotes [22:47] does it give you any sort of error? [22:47] ha did that even.. it showed no reponse.. then i ran.. killall..too [22:48] ok.. let me start fresh [22:49] haa,.... here it is.... it shows no response again [22:50] type ' apt policy gnome-software ' [22:51] el-nino@elnino-HP-Pavilion-15-Notebook-PC:~$ apt policy gnome software [22:51] gnome: [22:51] Installed: (none) [22:51] Candidate: 1:3.14+3ubuntu1 [22:51] Version table: [22:51] 1:3.14+3ubuntu1 500 [22:51] 500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages [22:51] N: Unable to locate package software [22:51] el-nino@elnino-HP-Pavilion-15-Notebook-PC:~$ [22:51] sry [22:52] https://paste.gnome.org/paybkfkhi [22:53] it's "gnome-software" not "gnome software" The dash needs to be there. [22:53] otherwise it just checks the entire gnome desktop :) [22:54] https://paste.gnome.org/pih7ngrvx [22:55] plz type in terminal and show the result: ls ~/.local/share/gnome-software/ [22:57] https://paste.gnome.org/ptfnvjjh0 [22:59] ok, you just need to rename the 'install-queue' folder to something else (maybe install-queue-backup) and it should work [23:00] so.. command please [23:01] mv ~/.local/share/gnome-software/ ~/.local/share/gnome-software-backup/ [23:02] ha..done.... whats the checkpoint nw [23:02] what do you mean by 'what's the checkpoint nw'? [23:03] sry.... hw to knw the command went well.... and what would be the subsequent steps [23:03] it should be fixed now, try opening gnome software [23:03] does it work? [23:04] haa...here its done... it opened succesfully.. thank you alot buddy.... [23:04] no problem, it is a bug that has not been fixed yet [23:04] but nw i do have ubuntu software center too on my machine.. how to get rid of it [23:05] you may have it happen again. just save the command in a text file so you can remember it for later [23:05] to remove ubuntu software center just type ' sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-software-center ' [23:06] u mean like the command to move the file location should be saved or anyother stuff [23:06] Just the command, you may need to remove the file again if you encounter the bug again later. [23:07] kk.. [23:08] hey.. jst encountered another error while uninstalling the ubuntu-software-center [23:09] oh, what kind of error? did it uninstall correctly? [23:09] https://paste.gnome.org/pyga1u5h2 [23:10] Oh, my bad, The package is actually just called "ubuntu-software". sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-software [23:12] now the command say that ubuntu center is not installed and not removed [23:12] ubuntu-software? [23:13] https://paste.gnome.org/pia8jg8xf [23:14] but the GUI shows ubuntu software [23:16] ok, maybe I have the wrong package name. sudo apt-get remove software-center [23:17] Also, you could uninstall it from gnome software, just by finding it in the 'installed' tab at the top [23:17] whichever you prefer [23:20] ha,,,,am done with it [23:20] can i ask for another favour [23:20] sure [23:21] how to get Indic languages on IBUS r what ever may be the GUI character map [23:22] el-nino_: I have no idea. sorry. Try asking on the #ubuntu channel, since it has 20 times as many users. [23:22] thank you [23:23] no problem! i'm sorry you encountered such an odd bug. [23:24] its not the first time.... i got the same even on my ubuntu LTS16, ubutnu LTS 14...... in the same macine [23:25] each time i got fed up and shift to other OS [23:25] haha, i would too [23:26] i also need to make a query.. why does bluetooth doesnt work no my machine with linux [23:27] I don't know, i dont have bluetooth on my computer. It's probably a missing hardware driver. [23:27] the drivers, importantly graphical drivers [23:28] i work on HP-pavilion 15 laptop [23:29] Try asking on the #ubuntu IRC channel, it has a lot more active users who can help [23:29] wtih intel i5 processor4gb rom, and 2gb dedicated nivida Geforce graphic card [23:31] :)
