| ChristW | Hi, I have some photo's (screenshots don't show the problem...) of a problem. Are you interested in seeing them, and how do I get them to you? | 10:57 |
|---|---|---|
| TJ- | !paste | ChristW | 10:58 |
| TJ- | hmmm... where's ubottu when we need it!? | 10:58 |
| ChristW | pastebinnit? | 10:58 |
| TJ- | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use https://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use https://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 10:58 |
| TJ- | there we go, copied from ubottu in another channel :) | 10:59 |
| TJ- | so imgur.com basically is the answer | 10:59 |
| ChristW | Thanks! I'll see if I can get it on imgur... | 10:59 |

| ChristW | Only part of the top menu bar shows up, and the menu that shows when I press the 'power' button only shows part. | 11:03 |
| TJ- | ChristW have you got zoom/scale factor set high? | 11:04 |
| ChristW | I did zoom in. Not sure how to check how high this is? | 11:05 |
| TJ- | ChristW: it looks to me like the zoom isn't being taken into account when setting the size of the containing GUI element | 11:07 |
| ChristW | In the accessibility menu, I turned on 'Large text' and 'zoom'. | 11:07 |
| TJ- | ChristW: is that 18.04 ? | 11:07 |
| ChristW | Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS \n \l | 11:07 |
| ChristW | If I switch back to 100% (Ctrl-Alt--), the problems go away. | 11:09 |
| TJ- | So presumably Gnome - which I don't use | 11:09 |
| ChristW | If I zoom in (is 200% the first step??), I get these artifacts. | 11:09 |
| ChristW | $ cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager | 11:10 |
| ChristW | /usr/sbin/gdm3 | 11:10 |
| ChristW | So probably, yes... | 11:10 |
| ChristW | ...but I'm not attached to it, so I could try another one. | 11:11 |
| TJ- | could be related to this bug | 11:13 |
| TJ- | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1779615 | 11:13 |
| TJ- | I can't find any other reports immediately | 11:13 |
| ChristW | I could install lightdm... | 11:14 |
| ChristW | and use unity. | 11:15 |
| TJ- | I think unity, or the unity theme to gnome, may be the problem | 11:15 |
| TJ- | I only use XFCE so it's not something I experience. | 11:15 |
| ChristW | I tried installing XFCE, will report back after the reboot... | 11:20 |
| ChristW | Ok, xfce up and running... | 11:26 |
| ChristW | Now for the a11y features... | 11:26 |
| TJ- | I'm quite interested in this because I volunteer for a blind charity and am currently designing and developing a complete digitial platform for them | 11:28 |
| ChristW | Good luck! It's hard to get right... | 11:29 |
| ChristW | So, how does screen magnification work in XFCE? | 11:30 |
| TJ- | umm! | 11:32 |
| ChristW | Ah, Alt-mousewheel seems to work! | 11:32 |
| TJ- | hold down Alt and mousewheel | 11:32 |
| ChristW | Ok, that works... I'll show my wife when she gets home. | 11:35 |
| ChristW | Whew, that was some morning... Getting rid of NVidia drivers, then getting this up and running... | 11:36 |
| ChristW | Oh: https://developer.gnome.org/projects/gap/sanity-testing/a11y_sanity_suite.html -> 404 | 11:37 |
| ChristW | (linked from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility/Testing) | 11:38 |
| TJ- | :) | 11:39 |
| TJ- | Doesn't surprise me, the Ubuntu wiki has no automated link checker and has a lot of old legacy articles | 11:40 |
