Ubuntu :: Weird Font - All The Characters Were Boxes ?

May 24, 2010

I noticed some programs, such as Terminal, would instead of having the default font, all the characters were boxes (as if they were undefined chars). Then I restarted and then ALL TEXT ON UBUNTU WERE []S. I can't even read what anything says. I'm in Windows now posting this because I can't read anything on Ubuntu.

How can I fix this font issue? (Preferably without reinstalling?) I noticed using recovery mode I can use a non-GUI version of Ubuntu which is basically Terminal as an OS in which I can actually see the font.

General :: Firefox Text (font) Is Weird, Almost Unreadable?

Jan 17, 2011

Kubuntu10.10After installing a 6000+ font collection from KDE-Look.org, my computer had assumed a new font, though I restarted and it is now fine, generally speaking. My Firefox still has this crazy font, and it is so weird that it is almost unreadable.

Server :: Technology For Detecting Types Of Traffic And Allowing To Run Multiple Types?

Apr 9, 2011

I would like port 80 to have a small daemon running on it that detects HTTP traffic and sends a small redirect response, and any other traffic begins streaming data from my VPN daemon. I was wondering if this has already been made, or any kind of technology for detecting types of traffic and allowing you to run multiple types of servers on the same port.

Programming :: Conflicting Type Declarations Between Sys/types.h And Linux/types.h

Sep 12, 2010

I'm trying to use "netlink" to get ip address of a Linux box. But the linux/types.h included from "linux/rtnetlink.h" introduced many conflicting type declarations with "sys/types.h".

#include <rtnetlink.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
return 0;
}

The program will demonstrate such type conflicts.

Ubuntu :: Grsync - Filtering File Types / Getting Only Some File Types Getting Included And Not Others?

Sep 1, 2011

I'm using Grsync and I want to be able to plug in any drive into my laptop and run rsync on it to back up all the user documents on there to another external hdd and to exclude everything else. Working on the principle that user documents don't always appear where we'd expect I want rsync to look through the whole drive and filter what it backs up by file type. I am only having partial success, however.

I am using the 'filter' option in the 'additional options' box. I am using the command
Code:
filter='merge /home/tim/Desktop/filter'
and I am attaching the filter file I have written. (I have added the .txt extention to upload it).

I have tested this script on my home folder and here's what's going wrong. Rsync will copy the entire directory structure regardless of whether there are any files to be copied over in those directories. I am also getting only some file types getting included and not others. .odt and .ods files are copied, for instance, but not .doc or .rtf.

General :: Missing Glyphs In Terminus Font - Setup A Fallback Font?

Jul 8, 2010

Most of my work happens in a terminal, so I need a clear, readable font. I've settled a while ago on Terminus [URL]..., which works wonders for me. I added XTerm*faceName : Terminus in my ~/.Xdefaults, and I do get the Terminus font. Unfortunately, a lot of Unicode glyphs are missing (mathematical symbols, greek and hebrew letters), displaying as little square blocks instead.

If I remove the faceName entry, the default configuration seems able to display most of the glyphs (including math, greek, hebrew, runic, and whatever else), but the default font is much harder to read.

A google search hints that it should be possible to use Terminus as the default font, and fallback to (an)other one(s) for missing glyphs, but provides no further explanation. I've seen documentation that recommends Bitstream Vera Sans as a fallback, but it lacks the glyphs I need too; I don't know how to identify the default font used by xterm either, I had a look at /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XTerm, but all I can find are generic references to old pre-fontconfig font names.

Using Gentoo Linux, fontconfig and xterm are up to date, USEs trutype and unicode enabled, X.Org server 1.6.

Edit: I alternate between Ratpoison, Awesome and XMonad, without a desktop environment.

Ubuntu :: By Default Pango Is Choosing AR PL UMing CN As Font To Render Japanese Text When Current Font Doesn't Have Japanese Glyphs

May 4, 2010

Actually I want to log a bug but I don't really know what package to log it against. The problem is that by default Pango is choosing the AR PL UMing CN as the font to render Japanese text when the current font doesn't have Japanese glyphs. But AR PL UMing CN is a Chinese font, so Chinese glyphs for kanji characters (e.g., 覚) are displayed. This is jarring and confusing for Japanese readers.

This situation mostly arises when you have mixed English and Japanese text. Some applications (for instance Firefox) will allow you to select a font for Asian text. Thus if the text contains only Asian characters it will use the font you select, rather than what Pango would have selected. But if it is a mix of English and Japanese, you end up with the wrong glyphs.

Other environments (like gnome-terminal, or a gedit) have difficulties as well. Since the primary interface requires mono spaced roman characters you run into difficulty selecting fonts. Most Japanese fonts only have proportional roman characters. This means that if use a nice roman font and use Japanese text (for instance file names), you end up with Chinese glyphs. What I want is a mechanism that will work across all of Gnome for selecting the font I want to use for Chinese characters. That way I can choose either Japanese or Chinese glyphs.

I realize this is low priority. It only bugs me a little, but many of my Japanese colleagues are put off from using Ubuntu because they are confused by the Chinese glyphs that pop up on my screen from time to time. As I said, I'd like to file a bug, but I'm not sure against what package...

Fedora :: Upgrade To KDE 4.4 And "Configure Kmail" Displayed In The Default Font No In Console Font

Feb 25, 2010

In all previous versions of KDE I had Console8x16 set as KDE font for all cases (Settings->Appearance->Fonts). After tonight upgrade, this (only!) font is not working. I can see it in font manager, I can set it in ...Appearance->Fonts, but actually remains default font. Two of about 30 attempts somehow (can not reproduce) succeeded to set "console 12" font, but it disappeared after restart.

1. What can be the problem in 4.4?
2. In /usr/share/fonts tere are 3 files named console8x16.pcf, console8x8.pcf and console9x15.pcf, but in the font list in Appearance->Fonts I can see only 2 - one named "Console" (seems to be 8x16 and "console" (8x8). File 9x15 does not appear at all. Why?

Last results of attempts: cannot use console font in part of areas, while part works OK. For example: kdevelop editor, kmail message body text works OK. But kmail other parts - does not. The most interesting is that although setting the kmail body message text to console displays the message body text correctly (with console font), but the example message in "Configure kmail" dialogue "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog" is displayed in the default font, as if there is no console font!

Ubuntu :: Various OpenOffice Types In The Same Document?

May 24, 2010

Im currently using OpenOffice.org Writer to write a hand in document for my course. I've come to the point where I want to create a graphical tree in Draw to present an idea and then add this document into writer. I've tried to use Insert -> Object -> OLE Object, and add the document as an inline frame. This looked pretty ugly though, either it's too small or there seems to be no way to just resize the frame without stretching the whole document into unreadability.

I noticed in an update i did today that a number of things from the 'distribution updates' category were marked as 'new install'. Included in them were things like alien, Postfix, and RPM. the RPM especially confuses me. Is Ubuntu moving to being able to handle both package types? As far as I can tell these were from the official updates. not some third party repository I've added.

Ubuntu :: Make These Types Of Windows Smaller?

Apr 25, 2010

I've noticed this issue for a long time now, and it's always bothered me. Whenever I have to open a file within a program or upload something to a website, etc., the window that pops up is always HUGE. The reason is due to the list of file types at the bottom. Instead of cutting off with an ellipsis at some point, every single applicable file type is listed. I can't resize these windows, either, so they always take up my entire screen. Is there any way to fix this so that these kinds of windows are a more reasonable size?

Ubuntu :: Associate A File-types With A Program?

May 7, 2010

I want to make vlc the default application for opening avi files.

I tried 'open with a different application', selected vlc and checked the box 'Remember this application for "AVI video" files' (see attached), but the next time I double-click on an avi file it loads in Movie Player.

I've searched the Ubuntu documentation for "file associations" and "default programs" with no success. I'm probably using the wrong search terms, but somewhere, in all the configuration files and tables, there must be a way to assign a particular program to a given file-type.

(If you're wondering why I want to use vlc, it's because, after hours of research and tinkering, I finally got it to respond to my mceusb remote via lirc.)

Ubuntu :: Selecting Certain File Types By Extension

I am trying to move files from one folder to another based on their file extension. I can do it with a single extension, but I want to match multiple.

Example:

This works, but I want it to not only match mov, but also mpg, flv, mp4, etc. I would think something like [mov,mpg,flv] would work, but it doesn't.

Ubuntu :: Applications Ignoring Mime Types?

May 24, 2011

Files downloaded with Firefox, Chromium, Miro etc. will not open correctly. Clicking to open the file (e.g. jpg or ogg) should result in the file opening with eog or audacious. Results - from Nautilus this works correctly, however from other applications the result is a Nautilus window. Placing a file 'test.torrent' on the desktop and using terminal to do

Code:
gnome-open test.torrent
or
Code:
xdg-open test.torrent
results in the same behaviour. However, simply clicking the file in Nautilus opens it in Deluge (correct behaviour).

Ubuntu :: MIME Types Setup For Apache / MediaWiki

Jan 28, 2010

I'm trying on getting the MIME types setup correctly for Apache/MediaWiki. I think I've modified every config file known to man to no avail. Here's some info on what I've got going on. I'm trying to get the Office 2007 MIME types configured for MediaWiki 1.14 so that we can upload/download the files. Out of frustration/lack of need I went the less secure route and I modified the LocalSettings.php config file to disable MIME type verification for uploads.

Code:
$wgVerifyMimeType = false;

This works great for the uploads, and I can upload .DOCX, .XLSX, and .PPTX all day long, however when downloading them, they download as a .ZIP file with all the XML info inside of it. No biggie for me personally as I can just rename .ZIP to .DOCX and it works fine, however for the average user it's not going to fly. So, I figured that MIME types would be the source of my pain and started doing some research.

I have modified the following config files to include the MIME types listed below.
/etc/mime.types
/var/www/.htaccess (created to try and force them)
/var/www/mediawiki-1.14.0/.htaccess (created to try and force them)
/var/www/mediawiki-1.14.0/includes/mime.types

Code:
application/vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12 .docm
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document docx
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template dotx
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.template.macroEnabled.12 potm
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.template potx
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.addin.macroEnabled.12 ppam
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.slideshow.macroEnabled.12 ppsm
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow ppsx
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12 pptm
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation pptx
application/vnd.ms-excel.addin.macroEnabled.12 xlam
application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.binary.macroEnabled.12 xlsb
application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12 xlsm
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet xlsx
application/vnd.ms-excel.template.macroEnabled.12 xltm
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.template xltx
It doesn't seem to matter where I put the code, I can't get the MIME types to register with Apache/MediaWiki.

Ubuntu :: RDP Extensions And Plain Text File Types

Jul 15, 2010

Basically, I have a selection of .rdp shortcuts to various machines, but they are considered the file type "plain text document (text/plain)" so if I change it to open with to tsclient, all of that file type opens with tsclient. And if I change it to gedit, all the rdp files open with gedit. Is there a way to create a custom file type dependent on the extension rdp, or is there a way to set tsclient to open by extension rather than filetype?

Ubuntu :: Bug: Ndiswrapper Prevents Mounting Of New USB Device Types?

Aug 24, 2010

I recently noticed a bug with ndiswrapper in Ubuntu 10.4 which would prevent the mounting of new USB device classes. This bug has been noticed somewhere else, in particular in at least one older Ubuntu version, but has been carried over. This doesn't seem to be widely discussed, or the solution worked anecdotally, but the problem is actually more general in nature. At the moment I found a workaround that always works, but I don't have a permanent fix.

The problem kicks in only after ndiswrapper module is loaded into the kernel. Devices of the same USB *types* that were recognized *before* ndiswrapper is loaded will continue to work. For example, an USB memory stick will be mounted fine if an USB hard disk had already been used at some point before ndiswrapper was loaded. However, if one plugs in any other new type of device, for example, an USB mouse, after ndiswrapper is loaded, the new USB device will not be mounted. The workaround solution is to disable ndiswrapper before introducing a new type of USB device by doing:sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper

Then, plug in the USB device. After it is successfully mounted, do: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

The corollary is that if ndiswrapper is loaded into the kernel upon boot-up, only USB devices which were present at the boot stage will be recognized. But performing the above kludge will allow new devices to be recognized.It'd be nice if someone can come up with a more elegant fix.

Ubuntu :: Unknown File Types In /home Folder?
