| proctrap | hi, under nvidia KMail & Okular are getting pixelated font scaling, any ideas ? | 10:53 |
| proctrap | Kmail for example: he menu for Folders & the email list works fine, but the mail content window, including the header is completely pixelated ( as if zooming into a jpg text ) | 10:54 |
| proctrap | on my integrated intel graphics, I don't have this problem | 10:54 |
| proctrap | (using nvidia driver 390.25 ) | 10:55 |
| === nameless is now known as Guest72800 | ||
| BluesKaj | ahh Optimus hybrid gpu system I bet | 10:58 |
| BluesKaj | proctrap, ^ | 10:59 |
| BluesKaj | assume you have nvidia-prime installed, proctrap | 11:01 |
| proctrap | BluesKaj: yes | 11:03 |
| proctrap | ( although sadly the graphics performance under nvidia isn't that good -.- at least full opengl / cuda support) | 11:04 |
| proctrap | in firefox & every other application it looks okay, but in kmail I can't get it to non pixeling | 11:04 |
| proctrap | and ocular pixelates when you're zooming a little bit, which is totally fine under intel | 11:05 |
| proctrap | [ Force Fonts DPI 112 | Display Scale 1.2 ] | 11:05 |
| BluesKaj | dpi 112 , isn't that a little high for a laptop ? | 11:10 |
| BluesKaj | default is usually 96 dpi ...best to set the resolutiuon or your fonts a bit higher instead | 11:12 |
| proctrap | where can I increase the font resolution ? | 11:21 |
| proctrap | I'm using a high dpi setting to force bigger fonts, otherwise the scaling goes awkward | 11:21 |
| hateball | proctrap: alt+space, search fonts | 11:21 |
| BluesKaj | systemsettings fonts | 11:21 |
| proctrap | so, just increase the size of all of them ? | 11:22 |
| proctrap | that's messy and I've tried that once | 11:22 |
| proctrap | as I don't see a "resolution" option, just size | 11:23 |
| BluesKaj | proctrap, correction: system settings>appearance>fonts | 11:23 |
| proctrap | yes | 11:24 |
| proctrap | but there is no "resolution" option | 11:24 |
| BluesKaj | proctrap, which Kubuntu OS are you running? | 11:24 |
| proctrap | all I can do, is to manuall increase every font size by at least 2 | 11:24 |
| proctrap | KUbuntu 17.10 | 11:24 |
| BluesKaj | resolution is in system settings>monitor and display | 11:24 |
| proctrap | I'm not sure I get you | 11:25 |
| proctrap | I can increase the display scaling | 11:25 |
| proctrap | but then all my fonts are still as tiny as I started with | 11:25 |
| proctrap | so I can't read anything | 11:25 |
| proctrap | display resolution is on max, as per default full HD | 11:26 |
| BluesKaj | did you try to increase the fonts in system settings>fonts | 11:27 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 11:27 |
| proctrap | so you mean increasing all font sizes ? | 11:27 |
| BluesKaj | yes | 11:27 |
| proctrap | I' | 11:27 |
| proctrap | ve tried that once, but it was really messy to override verything manually | 11:27 |
| proctrap | gonna reboot | 11:28 |
| BluesKaj | no need to reboot | 11:29 |
| proctrap | it seems like konversation is using the biggest font ?! looks like a headline now | 11:29 |
| BluesKaj | just konversations fonts can be set with in the app itself | 11:29 |
| BluesKaj | think this guy isn't too familiar with kde/plasma | 11:30 |
| proctrap | ok so this was kind of getting the same result as with a higher DPI scaling seting | 11:31 |
| proctrap | now everything looks like when I started this conversation | 11:31 |
| proctrap | but KMail message window is still a pixelated thing | 11:31 |
| BluesKaj | konversations fonts can be set with in the app itself | 11:31 |
| proctrap | https://s14.postimg.org/jrsidgupt/Screenshot_20180309_123246.png | 11:33 |
| proctrap | no zooming | 11:33 |
| BluesKaj | look in settings>configure konversation>fonts | 11:33 |
| proctrap | so the issue is still here, kmail/okular have messed up fonts for content | 11:33 |
| proctrap | BluesKaj: after a reboot konversation is fine now | 11:34 |
| proctrap | but the initial problem: KMail & Okular having messed up font scaling under Nvidia is still there | 11:34 |
| proctrap | see my screenshot | 11:34 |
| proctrap | the ui (to the left) is completely fine, but the message window (see header & message) is pixelated | 11:35 |
| proctrap | and this is only happening under nvidia | 11:35 |
| BluesKaj | well dunno much about kmail since i don't use it | 11:35 |
| BluesKaj | but your screenshot doesn't show in that url | 11:35 |
| proctrap | https://postimg.org/image/7px4jblh9/ | 11:36 |
| proctrap | works in private mode here also | 11:36 |
| BluesKaj | ok I see it now | 11:36 |
| proctrap | same thing with okular, text rendering is off | 11:37 |
| BluesKaj | which nvidia gpu ? | 11:38 |
| proctrap | BluesKaj: GTX 965M | 11:45 |
| BluesKaj | ok, that uses the 390 alright | 11:49 |
| proctrap | ? some specification | 11:53 |
| proctrap | argh now I've to increase the font for other programs, seems like the DPI switch was a fast although apparently messy trick | 11:56 |
| BluesKaj | it's the general driver for most non legacy nvidias atm | 11:56 |
| hateball | proctrap: are you using any form of hinting for your fonts? | 11:57 |
| hateball | using full hinting I've had some weird rendering issues | 11:57 |
| proctrap | hateball: not that I would know about, and I can't find that under fonts | 11:59 |
| proctrap | it's not just fonts | 11:59 |
| proctrap | it's like everything that seems to be "direct" rendered or something like that | 12:00 |
| proctrap | the logout/shutdown screen for example is also pixelated | 12:00 |
| proctrap | from the logos to the fonts | 12:00 |
| proctrap | or the display scaling option | 12:00 |
| proctrap | https://postimg.org/image/rr1gmcril/ | 12:01 |
| proctrap | https://postimg.org/image/wpoz0y871/ | 12:02 |
| proctrap | [ click on view image for non scaled view ] | 12:02 |
| proctrap | I don't know the architecture exactly but that looks like some stuff is rendered differently (prob. X11 vs KWin ?! ) | 12:04 |
| proctrap | and for example X11 is messing up scaling | 12:04 |
| BluesKaj | kwin uses X11 | 12:04 |
| proctrap | yes but does stuff on it's own IIRC | 12:05 |
| scanning_please | loving my kubuntu .. hating its relationship to my hp printer scanner | 12:20 |
| scanning_please | i got my printer to print using the generic (en) drivers and giving it an ip on the local network | 12:20 |
| scanning_please | now i am trying to get scanlite or simple scan to see the scanner | 12:21 |
| scanning_please | scanlite throws and error before i get a chance to add and settings to it | 12:21 |
| scanning_please | opening the selected scanner faild | 12:22 |
| BluesKaj | yeah i have thr HP envy 4500 all-in-one printer/scanner ...haven't found any app yet that works in scan mode , even the hplip-3.17.11.run driver doesn't do anything except print | 12:26 |
| proctrap | BluesKaj: found the culprit | 12:28 |
| proctrap | display scaling is completely broken for nvidia | 12:29 |
| proctrap | without it everythign works | 12:29 |
| proctrap | but I'll get back to font DPI enforcement, as some java applications are just too tiny without it | 12:29 |
| scanning_please | when i go to the hp site for my printer they send me into a linux black hole that says its all in hplip unless it isnt and then screw you | 12:31 |
| scanning_please | guess i should have verified the device with linux before i bought it | 12:32 |
| scanning_please | laser jet pro mfp m125nw | 12:32 |
| BluesKaj | not here, I downloaded the driver from sourceforge link which is provided by HP | 12:32 |
| proctrap | another question: I want to run a script as root on login | 13:45 |
| proctrap | there are countless answers, my problem: the solution with /etc/pam.d/login does not work under Kubuntu | 13:45 |
| proctrap | (it does not work with the KDE login to be precise, virtual terminal works fine) | 13:46 |
| proctrap | I am still figuring out if I can achieve the same with systemd, but afaik systemd doesn't know anything about user logins | 13:52 |
| proctrap | (graphical) | 13:52 |
| proctrap | ok so I managed to use ~/.config/autostart-scripts but what I need is "/shutdown-scripts" | 14:22 |
| proctrap | ok found it, all these legacy folders from which various programs read stuff are a mess | 14:55 |
