After much finagling, I've finally got Anthy setup and working. (This after four versions of Ubuntu )
But I have a slight problem. The cadidate popups are TINY on my 1080p 15" screen. I have to get right up to the screen to see the characters.
Is there any way of changing the size of these popups?
How do you access preferences for changing size of the launcher bar or icon size, etc? I looked through system settings and could not find it.

I'm trying to boot windows 7 on virtual box, but it seems to demand quite a bit of memory. The "recommended" amount is 512MB, and upon checking my kernel only has 488MB total ram with not much room to spare:
Code:
billy@billy-desktop:~$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 488 462 25 0 53 193
-/+ buffers/cache: 216 271
Swap: 1939 17 1921
I've tried giving the virtual machine memory sizes in the area of 192-256MB, but that's way too much and the system locks up and aborts from it. Memory sizes in the area of 128MB is just too small and it throws an error that there just isn't enough ram to boot. So the only thing I can do to make this work is to increase the size of the ramdisk for my host OS so I can give more to the virtual machine (not to mention things like flash animations are horribly slow and I'd like to see them get more fluid).
I see that I have 16 ramdisks available to me:
Code:
billy@billy-desktop:~$ ls -l /dev/ram*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 0 2010-02-17 09:54 /dev/ram0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 1, 1 2010-02-17 09:54 /dev/ram1

I looked at some guides here and there, but apparently my setup isn't quite the same. I don't have a menu.lst file in boot/grub, and I don't have a grub.conf file anywhere. So I don't know what file I'm supposed to edit for this.
Whenever I try to change the sizes of the windows on my screen I get a cursor which is a double arrow. There seems to be only one X- or Y coordinate on the screen where I can pick the side of the window, it seems to be only one pixel wide. This makes it hard to get hold of the side to change the size of the window. Is there a way to enlarge this location to a few pixels so it is easier to point the mouse to the right location?

I'm having issues changing the canvas size. I'd like to overlay two graphs and hence I wish to extend the canvas and shift one graph up and the other down and perform an overlay. Everytime I attempt to change the canvas size I run into issues with the canvas not being able to extended to twice the height. I am changing the dpi values. Anyone know a smart way of doing this? I am changing through the print setup options.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I set up that OS I was talking about, everything I need, staying away from the "Startx" command, and it's working very very awesomely except for ONE little problem. The console font size is too big for me, and honestly I don't know how to change that. Coming out of Ubuntu, I'm realizing I don't know as much about config files as I think I do :P
Any way I can change the font size? When I use the GParted live cd, I see a line in the start up that mentions changing the frame buffer to 700 x 48 or something, I'll get specifics soon (computer's not on me) and it makes the font and everything just how I like it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHas anyone else using Kubuntu 11.04 with Firefox 4 noticed a black background underneath the speech bubble-looking dialogs that come from its top toolbar? Is anyone aware of an existing fix or workaround for this issue? It seems to not be a theme-specific bug (oxygen-gtk, qtcurve, and raleigh are all affected). Does it have anything to do with the black window-resize handle that you have to disable in .gtkrc-2.0-kde4?

My laptop has a 60GB hard drive, which my ex-husband set up with a 20GB partition for Windows XP and a 40GB partition with Suse 11, which suited me fine at the time. However, I'm now finding that I need to install a whole bunch of extra Windows programs relating to my work, and the 20GB partition is no longer sufficient, while I'm hardly using any space at all under Linux.
how I might go about redistributing the space between the two partitions (any other solutions to my lack of space problem also welcome)? Please bear in mind that I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this kind of thing!
if its possible to change font size or style on CLI.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't know if this is an Ubuntu issue or what, but I've seen other Anthy threads on this forum so I figured I'd just post my issue here and see if anyone has the same problem. When using Japanese Anthy in Ubuntu 9.10 I sometimes get incorrect kanji. For example the first kanji (choku) in 直接 will only come up as the Chinese version of the kanji. On websites this kanji is displayed correctly but I just can't type it correctly. Very frustrating.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUsing Anthy with IBus I'm having troubles typing the correct characters. I have stickers set on my keys that correspond with the correct keys for Windows/Google IME. Unfortunately Anthy and IBus have my keys mapped differently than this for some reason. If I have "Use System Keyboard Layout" checked in IBus settings the character ろ isn't mapped at all and if I uncheck it, a very large number of characters are mapped to completely different keys. When I look at the keyboard layout for Japanese Kana I've also noticed that ろ is unmapped. If it's not clear, I typically type using 1 keystroke being equal to a single character rather than typing in Romaji.
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor years I have been using scim-anthy for Japanese input under Linux. However just moving to ubuntu 10.10 I noticed that the development for scim has ceased and lots of people recommend moving to ibus. So I tried: I got ibus and ibus-anthy installed. I choose ibus as keyboard method input system under System->Adminsitration->Language Support ibus is up and running. I can see the icon. In ibus opreferences I added anthy under Input methods. I restarted X resp. the whole computer. I can choose Japanese-Anthy when clicking on the ibus icon. But nothing happens. I am still writing latin characters, no anthy popped up (like it used with scim), nothing.

When I tried to do this with synaptic, I recieved the error message "Depends: libanthy0 but it is not going to be installed". So I installed libanthy0 manually (along with anthy-common, on which libanthy0 depends); but when I tried again to install anthy afterwards, I recieved the message "to be removed: anthy-common, libanthy0" and then "Depends: libanthy0 but it is not going to be installed" again.
