Ubuntu :: MetaPost - Text Forces Image Not To Render?
Feb 3, 2010
For some reason under Ubuntu 9.10 (x86 and x64), MetaPost refuses to render any images that contain text. If you open the file for Image.1, it opens evince and it hangs indefinitely. I can create images perfectly fine and render this as long as there is no text. Am I missing any specific font packages or something that I should be using? I know that it works under Windows. I also know that on a different machine I had a while back (running Ubuntu 8.04, I believe), I had it working then.

When trying to render text with kino on amd64, I get:
Kino experienced a segmentation fault.
Dumping stack from the offending thread
Obtained 2 stack frames.
kino() [0x43bdb0]
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6(+0x321e0) [0x7f844b8401e0]
Done dumping - exiting.
I tried 'rm -rf ~/.kino-history' but this did not work.
I realized what I could have done wrong. I added deb-multimedia.org as a repository and installed mythtv and avidemux. I also did an update with aptitude and an upgrade with aptitude.

I have a Canon iR3570/iR4570 PXL, and installed the driver CQue 1.0 TCP/IP Queue from Canon webpage.
The problem:
- if i try to print an OpenOffice or LibreOffice Calc with an image and text, the image is not printed (the space is blank).
- if i try to print an OpenOffice or LibreOffice Calc with just an image, it's printed great.
- if i try to print an OpenOffice or LibreOffice Impress, the images are not printed but the text is printed great.

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...

I'm trying to make buttons for a webpage - each button has a "graphic" part - say an oval with a drop shadow, and text on top of that, such as "About Us", "Contact Us" etc. I'd like the text to line up horizontally against one another, so that if the buttons are placed next to one another in a straight line across the page, the texts line up with one another. How do I do this in GIMP?Common sense suggests that the "Align" tool should be what I should be using, but how do I use it?

I'm doing a project on an embedded board, and would like to put the version number, compilation date etc. onto the splash screen and a few other places. The splash screen is a .bmp image. Any way to do this from a script? Are there any command-line tools that let you do this?

I need some help in determining how to have a color splash image display in place of the Linux scrolling-text during the boot-up process on an embedded Linux device. The kernel used is a stripped-down version of Linux (kernel 2.6.29), which has been custom configured. I am using syslinux as the bootloader. I was told that Plymouth might be the way to go with this, but I'm not sure.

I have an old scanner script that uses pamthreshold to create a small greyscale image of a text document. This program does not seem to be available in debian. Can anyone tell me how I can install it, or if there are any better alternatives available?

I am using Okular as a chm reader (I know how to use extract_chmlib and htmldoc.. but with those two I can only make HTML-only documents and not image attachments..)and it just happens so I would like my machine to read the text... i have both festival and espeak installed (as well some gnome-based plug-ins)... But I just can't get Okular to speak.

I'm using Firefox on 10.10. I haven't installed crazy stuff on my machine as far i can recall (i used the repositories, except for gtk+3) and i didn't go to any weird website either, same traffic as usual. The only weird thing was that my internet connection was abnormally slow this morning.
Today though some "http://www.browsersearch.org/" imposes itself on my browser even though my homepage is set to www.google.com. I can't figure how this happens nor how i can get rid of it.
Can anyone help me trace this?

Ubuntu 9.04 - recently, I have been getting a newsletter from a certain sender. If I select the mail even to delete it ( not opening it ) Evolution promptly shuts down.
So long as I don't even put the mouse cursor on the offending mails, there is no problem. Now, I am building up a nice collection of unread mails which I cannot delete.

Before I submit a bug, I wanted to see if anyone can tell me why this happens. When I first start using UO, it requested that I add my computer to my UO account. I entered the name of my machine, ie. "desktop-name". Once I did that, the music store worked properly, and I was able to use the Evolution Contacts sync and regular files in the ~/UbuntuOne folder. These all showed up in my web interface.
Now, when I set up Tomboy to sync with UO (Tomboy Web), it sends me to the Confirm Computer Access page again, asking me to put in my device name again. So I enter again "desktop-name" and it logs in and Tomboy syncs. The problem is that two devices now show up under Machines, and also under System > Preferences > UbuntuOne > Devices. I've tried deleting both devices, and starting from scratch as described here but it always does the same thing.
Is there a reason I must have two devices listed when I'm on the same system? Has anyone else noticed this? FWIW, each confirmation request lists a different token, it just seems that once I have authorized my system, that all the sync connections should auth under the same credentials.

To any user of kpdf or kghostview: I loaded a .pdf file (ruteUser_2up.pdf) but it seems to come edited in "two pages " format. I mean, every screen shows two consecutive pages of the book. When I choose View>Two Pages (kpdf) in the hope that it will toggle to one page, it does nothing. Is there any way of seeing the book one page per screen?

How do you set up a linux workstation to act as a gateway for all other PC's in the LAN giving them internal IP's using DHCP, but which also forces all access to the internet to go through a proxy running inside the same linux workstation at 127.0.0.1:9666?the proxy is provided by ultrasurf and run using wine and we do not want to set applications one by one to use a proxy - it must be an automatic effect.

A computer upgraded from 7.3 to 8.2 suffered a number of stability issues which were traced to systemd having replaced sysvinit in this version. Worst of these was that instead of shutting down it just cut the power instantly, causing disk corruption. Basically, from what I can find out, this systemd component seems like it works OK on a completely fresh install but causes multiple issues if it finds its way onto an updated system. I found some instructions on reinstating sysvinit, which cured the issues.
However, on attempting to install the Brasero CD/DVD app via synaptic, I notice that this will force reinstallation of systemd as a dependency, even though it's been locked-out of updates. Luckily I spotted this in time and cancelled. You really wonder why a CD writing app would need to do this. I certainly seems rather naughty for any desktop package to be changing system startup code in a manner which could break the OS.
At the moment I'm not sure if it's the only app which does this -although k3b seemingly does not. Any thoughts on this gotcha, and how to prevent a repeat, other than being extremely careful when installing anything?

I just recently installed Xubuntu 10.04 on a new desktop and I have immediately begun to have issues. Within 10 minutes of installation, I had begun to look around to change the window 'theme' settings. I was scrolling through the themes and BOOM the system blanks out and forces me back to the login. At first I was thinking it was no big deal, but as it turns out, it will not let me back it.Basically, I use my credentials, it appears to login, it goes to a black screen with the cursor at the top left and then sends me back to login like nothing happened.

Ubuntu 10.10 x64. Got a second monitor and enabled Xinerama. It asked me to restart, I did. I opened ATI Catalyst Control Center after the restart and saw the control panel window open for about half a second before suddenly finding myself at the login screen.
ATI Catalyst Control Center has always seemed to work fine up until I enabled Xinerama. I tried removing the ATI driver, restarting, re-enabling it, restarting, and ATI Catalyst Control Center worked fine again. But, as soon as I enabled Xinerama it went back to logging me out whenever I tried to open the control center. I've tried from the GUI menu as well as the terminal using 'gksudo amdcccle', same result every time.
The dual monitor functionality seems fine, but I need to get back into the control center to adjust the colors. I do a lot of photo editing, and the adjustments in the control center really is a great tool to let me get the colors how I'd like.

I'm trying to install Fedora 11 x86_64 on system with Adaptec U160 and 2 Ultra160 HD. It is not part of a network and iSCSI is not wanted. But the installer keeps selecting iSCSI automatically and won't let me change it. I try to do a "replace linux system" with my own partition scheme-which preserves the partitions already on this drive. I eventually have to exit the installer.

I'm new to Linux, tried Ubuntu, had slow boot problems, tried openSUSE 11.1, still have slow boot problems. The issue seems to be that the ata.0 device is slow to respond (ERROR= -16), the boot system forces a hard reset, then a soft reset, configures for UDMA 133, says the drive is ready, then does it again, three times, and then configures the drive for UDMA 100. It's a brand new Western Digital Caviar drive, and windowsXP likes it just fine. Once SUSE boots, everything seems to work just fine. I thought the problem might be with the drive jumpers, so I reset them from cable detect to master/single. No change in the problem.

I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04Most things appear to work, however I can not use my terminalI can open the terminal (the standard terminal, as well as guake)however it will not render on the screen.It appears as an invisible window. I can type into the terminal area and the commands will process, but I can't see what im typing.Fspot is another window which will not render, however chromium and other programs open fine.I have changed my nvidia driver several times (the default one, nvidia's one and nouveau's manual compile), but this doesn't resolve the issue.Ive tried editing my grub conf file /etc/default/grub and un-commented GRUB_GFXMODE=1024X768

I have 4 Dell R200's with Seagate 2x250Gb drives running software raid on CentOS 5.2 kernal 2.6.18-92.1.13.el5. They all get these errors 5-10 times a day and when the errors occure the servers apear to freeze and drop all network connections, very frustrating. I've updated to smartmontools 1:5.38-2.el5 and confirmed with Seagate that I have the latest drive firmware, and am now at a loss as to how to fix this. All of the systems report the problem only on sda not sdb.

I think I have Bug #444372 which seems to be fixed and available. I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 l Linux 2.6.31-20generic #58-Ubuntu SPM Fri Mar 12 i686 GNU This was listed as fixed 2010-02-10 and Bug Watch Updater on 2010-03-02 Changed in linux:
status: Confirmed → Fix Released
I installed 9.10 by ISO DVD gotten from the Ubuntu website after 2010-03-02.I have installed all updates in the Update Manager today.The error output is still showing up in my syslog:
render error detected, EIR: 0x00000010
[drm:i915_handle_error] error EIR stuck: 0x00000010, masking
render error detected, EIR: 0x0000010
My system hangs frequently. The desktop looks normal and the mouse is alive but nothing on the desktop will respond. CTL ALT F2 does not respond. I'm not sure if this bug is related.My hardware is an emachine D2823 Celeron D 325 with 256MB. Not the best and I expect it to be slow but not hang forcing a plug pull.

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.
