I tried changing the anti- aliasing it didn't work either. my laptop is Acer Aspire e5-575G. please help I couldn't find any solutions. [06:52] Did you change the screenscaling? [06:53] Or did you force a font DPI? [06:54] Please I'm sorry I have to ask how do I change the screenscaling? yes I tried force font DPI 96 [06:56] Does the blurring go away when the dpi is not forced? [06:56] no it is the same before and after. [07:01] Did you log out and login? [07:01] These kind of setting might need that. [07:02] you were right [07:03] it is because I changed the scale [07:04] I scaled it because everything was so small and I couldn't see [07:05] please can you help me to scale it bigger with out blurring the font? [07:06] Err, I have never done that. [07:08] or is there a way to make things bigger without scaling? [07:08] What version of Plasma5 are you running? [07:12] im running kubuntu 16.10 [07:15] im running plasma 5.7.5 [07:18] Do you have backports enabled? This might have improved in newer versions. [07:20] I'm sorry I new to this and I don't know about that how do I check if it's enabled or not?

[07:21] In a terminal run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports && sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade [07:23] it's running [07:57] ok it's done [07:57] should I restart ? [07:58] Yes [07:58] ok! [08:06] I tried scaling again it's till there [08:13] Hmm :( [08:13] Does it also happen when you don't do the scaling but the forcing of a DPI? [08:13] Font DPI that is. [08:14] hmm! let me try! [08:18] yes it works! [08:18] thank [08:18] Good to hear. [08:19] thank you so much for your help! [08:24] No problem. === Guest91927 is now known as Haudegen === usuario2 is now known as NatashaHack === usuario2 is now known as NatashaHack === kubuntu is now known as Guest73871 [10:15] hi [10:15] noob here [10:15] hi noob [10:15] booted up Kubuntu, no desktop only taskbar [10:15] live boot of course [10:17] radeon? [10:17] No, nvidia [10:18] lenovo? [10:21] yup [10:21] useless [10:21] garbage [10:21] will it resolve if I install it? [10:21] because im running the live version [10:22] any pc except lenovo [10:22] even thinkpad? :( [10:22] if it's new then ask for refund [10:23] no, its from 2014 [10:23] inm thinkpad is ok, lenovo rebrand the most crappy thing [10:24] ibm* [10:24] so in conclusion, any KDE will not work? Even Neon or Mint? [10:25] xubuntu or opensuse xfce would [10:27] no, I mean KDE. Not other DEs [10:27] try solydk [10:27] it uses kde4 [10:30] This is so sad. I want Plasma 5... but OK :\ [10:32] trust me, you'll be pleased with 4 much more than with buggy 5 [10:33] and besides [10:33] solydk is semir-olling [10:34] I think I will stick with Zorin 12 until they fix the KDE 5 problem. [10:34] Where can I add additional keyboard layouts? I really can't find the settings, I already tried system settings -> regional and system settings -> input [10:36] Herebord, type keyboard [10:37] diogenes_, there is only: Hardware, Belegungen and Erweitert [10:38] dioegenes_, lol, ok, found it [10:39] Herebord, :) [10:39] diogenes_, it's so stupid, I should change the language to English, I'm a native German speaker, but I better understand English on the computer. The most translations are crap, lost 10mins lol [10:40] Herebord, ja, naturelich [10:40] diogenes_, :> === absurd is now known as Guest1260 === daniel is now known as Guest80069 [12:11] Howdy folks === oem is now known as Deeno [14:54] Is there a way to directly go into linux boot mode [14:55] Linux boot mode? What do you mean with that? [14:56] I don't mean grub. I mean command line only mode. [14:56] I need to repartition there. :( [14:58] I have a solid state drive. Is it permanently damaged? Does SSDs have EPROMs? [14:58] PROMs probably for short. [14:58] It is a hardware question. [14:59] Thank you for your time. === kubuntu is now known as Guest50766 [15:10] Deeno: Are you looking for a text mode or something?

Guess I'll have to go report them and dump all kinds of stuff. [16:45] hi! was here early about about problem and now I have encounter another. I new this! my problem now is that suddenly after a shutdown and power on all the animation stopped working and has become so laggy I checked if I disable animation or not, it's enabled. tried changing my graphic drives to X Server from NVIDIA (recommend is NVIDIA) can any one please help me? [16:46] PS when I try switch back to NVIDIA driver it fails [16:53] is it a bad idea to enable the backports repo to get a more current version of KDE? [16:55] I already did that === Guest42821 is now known as Haudegen === Trioxin2 is now known as Trioxin === padams is now known as JackTup [20:18] hi [22:25] I am trying to fix the partition table of my Solid State Drive. I have lost its capacity with multiple installations. [22:38] deeno- are you use the KDE Partition Manager? [22:38] Er, using [22:43] I used it. [22:43] yes. [22:46] So what exactly is the problem that you're having? [22:49] Partition table is bad. I have lost space. [22:50] are you going to deny everything or have me wait? [23:03] If the partition table is corrupted, you'll probably have to create a new one. Remember that you'll lose data if you do that. [23:04] If there was data on the disk, then you might be able to repair the partition table instead [23:04] Hi guys [23:04] Is it normal not finding the "try without installing" on the grub menu? I was used to that on ubuntu [23:05] On the Kubuntu live CD? [23:05] ya, on a pen drive made with unetbootin [23:06] with the 16 LTS iso [23:07] not in grub, it should after boot [23:07] only option is to start kubuntu, which btw doesn't start at all [23:07] * after country/keyboard iirc [23:08] I don't think the Kubuntu live CD has a "just install" mode anymore [23:09] You boot the live CD to the desktop, and there's an icon there to start the installer [23:10] how's that? [23:11] so I made the usb, booted to grub menu, and got 3 choices [23:11] Start kubuntu / OEM install / Check disk for errors [23:12] and the start kubuntu (which I chose but not sure if it was for an installer or for testing w/o install) didn't work [23:12] thing is tried to install KDE over my ubuntu and it got messed up === fred is now known as Guest23927 [23:13] and now all I wanted was to fresh clean install kubuntu there === Guest23927 is now known as fred_ === fred_ is now known as fred_666 [23:16] You'll need to be more specific than just saying it doesn't work [23:17] sorry [23:18] so i press enter and it just freezes [23:18] no input on screen [23:18] not even logo [23:18] no disk or cpu activity [23:19] my pc always ran ubuntu 16 fllawlessly [23:20] msi z170 Motherboard, intel cpu 6600, nvidia 970 gpu [23:23] already tried to redo the usb [23:23] fat, exFat, went the same [23:23] My first guess is usually a video driver issue [23:24] I haven't used nVidia or AMD/ATI cards for years, though, so I can't help much [23:24] Which version of Kubuntu are you trying to install? [23:25] kubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso [23:26] in ubuntu the gpu works fine [23:26] both with the default open driver and the proprietary [23:27] Weird [23:27] Might be worth trying 16.10 or even a 17.04 beta, just to see if they have the same problem [23:29] ok will try [23:31] A quick Google search brings up a few pages about using the nomodeset kernel option [23:31] https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
