View 9 RepliesI'm running 10.04 with compiz under gnome, and I'm having trouble getting my screenshots to capture properly. Currently they only display my wallpaper and not any windows or panels. I tried using the module in the custom settings manager but no key-binds seem to work, well either that or the plugin is failing to load when I initialise it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedEver since installing 10.04 my fonts won't work. I've installed MS True Type every possible way I can and they still won't work.
After installing they seem fine in all applications, except on the internet. Both FF and Chrome can't seem to read (MSTT) fonts, at all. Every website I open fonts are displayed the same as before I install MS True Type.
I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 with unity. Occasionally I will have text in firefox that doesn't render properly. It will have horizontal lines through it. I have attached an example of the problem I am having.
Is this a bug in 11.04?
I upgraded last week from Koala to Lynx and my attached display is now blurred. Os: Lucid Lynx 10.04 with all updates Hardware: Dell Inspiron 1521 with an Envision 19" attached lcd display. Problem: blurred moving lines that move across the screen.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've seen a few people are having this issue, so i wanted to start a main thread. My problem started... After installing qt4-designer onto my Ubuntu 9.10 Gnome OS, the fonts in certain applications looked distorted like enlarged bitmaps. I tried uninstalling designer, reinstalling components, using qt4-config to restore fonts, but nothing has fixed this issue.
The issue seems to be specific to KDE applications such as: qt4-config, Amarok v2.2.0, skype, akonaditray, ktorrent, etc. Also, in qt4-config it seems to be specific to fonts between the sizes 9 to 12 inclusive for all font faces. All other font sizes seem to be okay. I've attached some examples.
When i first tried to install qt4-designer, it indicated the following dependancies: fontconfig-config libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev When i try to remove fontconfig-config, it indicates that it is dependent on nearly every application in my system (including drivers and xscreen). Hence, I would need to uninstall everything and reinstall everything!?
I am using ATI HD3200 graphics card, and running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid on a laptop. It have VGA port so I can attach external LCD monitor to the laptop. I am using fglrx driver.
My question is how should I configure the xorg.conf file so that when I attached external monitor, the GNOME menu bar (Applications, Places and System, etc) will be put on the external monitor instead of laptop LCD monitor.
I have checked varies web resource that saying you can drag and drop the GNOME menu bar to the new screen, it never worked. Someone also suggested to add new bar into the screen and GNOME will remember it, I can't even find the option to do that.
So far, as a former Chrome user on Windows, I am enjoying Chromium. However, there is one glaring problem that is bugging me, and is disrupting my usage of the browser.
Chromium will not show Japanese fonts properly. It's not that everything shows up as boxes. The problem is that certain characters will show in Japanese, and certain will show in Korean, thereby making the Japanese text unreadable. Copying and pasting into gedit allows me to read the Japanese text, and Firefox never had this problem, however, within Chromium, this is unreadable.
Here is a picture to show you what I mean:
Has anyone else had this problem, and fixed it? I have installed the language packs and have tried setting things to different unicode fonts and changing the encoding to unicode and even Japanese, and continue to get these errors.
I have problem with Farsi fonts on the ubuntu. The Mozilla Firefox cannot show the Farsi website properly. I have already installed all Farsi fonts available Synaptic Package Manager. Anybody know hoe to solve the problem.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSome fonts or lettering produces gobble-di-gook rather than a proper display in both iceweasel and claws mail reader. Usually punctuation (like ") results in this. For instance, from the site Clean Debian Etch Install, I get the following:
Code: The �€˜Choose country or region�€™ screen will appear, select �€˜United States�€™ or your preferred country. I'm assuming the above should display as, Code: The "Choose country or region" screen will appear, select "United States" or your preferred country.
I just moved back to openSUSE after spending almost 2 years in ubuntu-land. What happened to the fonts? Why are they so ugly? To me it looks like they are poorly rendered. I installed openSUSE 11.2 on another computer to confirm the problem... it persists. I took some screenshots to compare my settings.
Ubuntu: [URL]
openSUSE: [URL]
The second screenshot doesn't show, but both settings are using the exact same fonts and the same size. (Except the Window title font). From those two, it should be very clear that Ubuntu renders them more nicely. I don't want to start an UbuntuopenSUSE flame.. How to make my openSUSE machine display nice fonts.. ?
Recently I was creating an image in GIMP when I needed to add a new font. I went to my mounted XP drive and copied the file I wanted over into /usr/X11R6/share/fonts/TTF then I went to the font installer as root and installed the font system wide. After that I reloaded GIMP and the font was available. A little while later I went to browse the internet and when I loaded up firefox, it showed a properly formatted and spaced page with no text on it at all. If I highlighted a line, the invisible text would copy to the clipboard properly and I could read it that way. I figured it might've been a just a FF issue, but when I loaded up Seamonkey, I wound up with the same problem. I'm using Firefox 3.0.16 and Seamonkey 2.0.1. I tried going into the preferences and changing the default font, but no matter what I change it to, it doesn't fix it. Slack 1.2 running kernel 2.6.27.31-smp. I use slapt-get to stay up to date and as far as I can tell i have the latest patches and pkgs.
Code:
bash-3.1$ fc-cache -rv
/usr/share/fonts/OTF: caching, new cache contents: 23 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/TTF: caching, new cache contents: 91 fonts, 0 dirs
/usr/share/fonts/Type1: caching, new cache contents: 64 fonts, 0 dirs

I recently installed Burg on my three sig computers and like it very much. I'm having trouble on one of my desktops (AMD 9950BE Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64), I installed it like I did the other 2 but this one initially boots to the standard grub2 menu, and if I press "c" to enter the grub console and exit from it, Burg starts and works normally for that session.
I've spent quite a bit of time comparing files to my Laptop with a working burg and except for HD and partitions these files compare:
Code:
grub.cfg
burg.cfg
/etc/default/grub
/etc/grub.d/*.*
/etc/burg.d/*.*
[Code]...
I have downloaded and installed these icon sets most of which I got from [url] and [url].
AquaFusion
Beos
Glossy-Glass
Lush
Nature
Noia
Noia Warm
Vista-Inspirate_1.0
My problem is they do not display properly. When I select them all the icons for the folders etc revert to the default Gnome ones. How do I fix this? They all have an index.theme file.
I just installed Xubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx on an Intel 1.5GHz, 500 MB RAM, 128 MB video card system, 80 GB hard drive (it's a 5 year old system)....My system meets the requirements according to this [URL]
But for some reason, things aren't displaying correctly. The best way to describe it is that it's almost like Xubuntu can't "repaint" the graphics correctly. So I see distorted lines or text that doesn't render completely.
I am new to Ubuntu.I have used Gentoo Linux for about ten years, but got to a point in my life where fixing problems is not as much fun as it used to be. I just need something that works, and so I switched to Ubuntu.So recently, I decided to hook up my desktop computer to my 40" LCD TV. It's running an onboard Nvida geforce 7150 with 256 MB of RAM. It's got an HDMI out put that I'm running directly to my TV. The problem is, it's not detecting the size of the TV quite properly, and I lose the top and bottom of the screen, where my gnome menus and icons are. I can't boot into recovery mode because it no longer shows me my grub menu. I can't reconfigure X because I can't stop X from running. Not sure that it would help anyway. I do still have the LCD that it worked with before that I could hook up if need be, but I'd really prefer not to have to move it to where the TV is.I'm running the latest Ubuntu for AMD64, with a 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo and 2GB of RAM. Any advice?

I switched to the gnome desktop and everythinh worked fine, so I suppose this is a Unity problem.
1. Does Fedora 12 support ICU 4.4 Development Milestone 3 (ICU 4.3.3) with Unicode 5.2 full integration.(M3) ?
Microsoft's Uniscribe (usp10.dll) actually does not, neither in Windows XP nor in Windows 7. Will say is it possible to display complex scriptures like Devanagari, Avestan, Arabic etc. in Open Office Writer 3.1.1 via Fedora 12?
2. Is there any feature in Fedora 12 to build one's own Keyboard Layouts (like Microsoft's, Keyboard Layout Creator which isn't able to create Keyboard Layouts using Unicode Ranges bigger than U+ffff)?
I have been using an XFX 5770 with Windows 7 in EyeFinity and running a 5760x1080 resolution. My setup is as follows for Windows
x3 Viewsonic VA2223WM monitors (vga/dvi only)
I have two monitors connected connected with DVI and my 3rd monitor is connected with a DVI to Active Display port adapter, bizlink brand. This works wonderfully in Windows 7.
I cannot get my 3 displays to function properly in Ubuntu. I have tried removing the display port adapter and connecting my 3rd monitor with a DVI to HDMI cable and still no success. I can only use any of my 3 monitors in a dual configuration...how do I get the 3rd extended? Using the ATI driver that was auto downloaded for me...
i've finally given up playing with xorg.. i've been with ubuntu since dapper, and wasted countless hours configuring ubuntu to properly display on 3 different computers. the old xorg configuration used to at least provide a functional xorg.conf to work with, but in lucid all i get is a bunch of gibber jabber (as Mr. T would say). why does my mouse need to load dri and xgl modules? this is just a mess.. the nouveau drivers don't display properly on 2 of the 3 computers and leaves all kinds of artifacts, nvidia drivers dont display proper resolutions on monitors that nv and nouveau do, and leaves artifacts at boot and shutdown, and nv doesn't display proper resolutions on 2 of the 3, and previous xorg.conf files that i've saved sometimes work with upgrades, and sometimes don't [end rant] Anyway, i give up, it's too much pain and wasted time, so i'm wondering if i overlooked a program or something that can actually properly create a new xorg.conf that will work with the newest ubuntu, or if any other linux distro can configure displays better then ubuntu..i've heard suze is much more friendly for nvidia users (can anyone confirm?) and i know puppy linux has an excellent configuration wizard for this that's worked on all 3 computers but puppy isn't what im looking for as a main os. will ubuntu EVER start providing reliable tools for this, rather than assuming that people arnt having problems because many of those that are simply go back to windows...?

This would be a problem however it simplely leaves a huge black column on the right side and has a partially duplicated desktop below it.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.10 for Ubuntu 10.10 with the smooth-scaling ppa (only addons I'm using are Firebug and the Ubuntu modifications pack).Several sites with navigation menus the menu is spread over two lines when it obviously shouldn't be (eg. The Telegraph online, BBC News...) this happens no matter what the zoom level is set to. Chromium renders all these pages normally.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe startup and shutdown displays are a series of vertical black and white lines, and the text displayed on them appears as more or less white blobs. Otherwise, the displays when 11.04 is running are fine, but this startup looks so naff it would be nice to change it so that the diplays can be read. I would hate to demonstrate Ubuntu to someone and have to explain such a display.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently intalled Debian lenny and I'm having issues with some of the unicode characters. Instead of displaying the symbols properly it shows one of the following depending on font/app:
1) Square outline with four letters/numbers arranged inside
2) Just a blank square outline
3) Just a blank space
I haven't been able to test all possible characters, but from a quick check it seems that Cyrillic works properly, Japanese doesn't.A few Google searches later and I'm no wiser on how to fix the issue. Any help?
