Ubuntu :: System Would Use Futura's Heavy Weight Option Instead Of Bold
Feb 27, 2011
I use the Futura font as my application/desktop/titlebars font, and I think it looks beautiful. However, its bold version is much too dark for my liking and it really spoils the look of my desktop when it's used in applications (Nautilus' sidebar and Libre Office's menubar are the main offenders), and what I would much rather is if the system would use Futura's heavy weight option instead of bold, but after searching gconf and for configuration files I can't work out where or how I would do this.

I used to dual-boot, windows 7 and Ubuntu, but like a month ago, i decided to finally kill windows, so when i finished doing so, i had 160 GB. of free space. I never resized my ubuntu partition, since it had like 80 GB. of free space.Yesterday, I re-compiled my kernel, mainly to enable FrameBuffer in the console. So i decided it was time to resize my partition, to use the whole HDD.Turns out, that i had a little bit of problems compiling my kernel, and yes it took really a lot more than i thought ( I had to compile it twice ) but finally i got it working.
i still got some 100 GB. free, so is there anyway to get my system to it's normal weight?.I really don't wanna miss all my info, specially my programs, and customized desktop, it really took me a wile to set compiz just the way i like it.IM REALLY SORRY, I KNOW IT WAS MY FAULT, BUT I REALLY DON'T WANNA LOSE ALL THAT GB. NOR MY SYSTEM.

No setting in KDE to configure fonts to bold,as Gnome have that feature. Bold font looks clear especially outdoor. I'm using Droid sans fallback.

I have a problem with my Debian squeeze system. After I have run some CPU-intensive application for a while the system becomes sluggish. Ok, maybe one would expect that. But. The system remains sluggish even after that process has been killed and then top shows high cpu usage from unrelated processes and a high %sy percentage as well. I don't really know where to begin solving this problem except I've checked that this is specifically related to (at least) CPU use as opposed to heavy memory use or IO (by running an application with low mem/no io but high cpu use). I am running the latest standard kernel from squeeze, 2.6.32-5-686. Also, thing is, I remember having similar problems with other Linux distros before, where for example gzipping a large file would cause the same. I did not have similar problems on {Net,Open}BSD, so a hardware fault seems an unlikely reason to me.

I have been encountering lots of heavy system cpu usage. It is sporadic, last for about 10 minutes, and brings everything else to crawl (latency of even typing characters into an editor or a terminal is painfully slow). My computer is an i7 quad, and all 8 logical cores fire at near 100% during these periods. I can see the usage clearly with htop. The red bars in htop indicate system use (I have attached a screen shot for an example). However, as there is no process per se, I have no clue what is causing it.
It is something I have to fix as the computer becomes unusable periodically throughout the day.I One thing to add, I am using the computer as a ltsp server on ubuntu, attaching to it using two thin clients. There is always heavy ethernet traffic through the second ethernet card. I don't know if this is related. However, I do think all this problem began when I installed the ltsp and switched to using a thin client.

I have recently begun contributing to the Folding@Home distributed computing project. Due to oversights in the application's design and to process the most advantageous work units, I need to run this command line app through wine. The application is very CPU/RAM intensive, but it does not put much load on the hard drive. It is multi-threaded and uses up to 100% of all 6 cores in my machine. I run it with a "nice" level of 19 with hopes that it won't slow down my normal desktop use.
Here is the problem... when running this setup, my system will frequently freeze for a fraction of a second and then resume. With the more complicated work units, this can happen 1-2 times per minute. During the freeze, the mouse will stop moving, videos stop playing, music pauses, etc. The system is completely unresponsive. However, each instance only lasts for a very short time. Since this happens so often, my productivity is negatively impacted (and it's very annoying).
I previously ran the native Linux version of F@H without this problem, but that was also processing much less complicated calculations. I have tried with wine 1.2.1 and 1.3.5 with the same results. The application does not have problems running on Windows. It has been suggested that the current Linux CPU scheduler is to blame, but is there anything I can do to resolve this now or work around it?

Here is the scenario: I load hundreds of h264/ac3 video clips from my HD video camera onto a four disk software raid stripe under Fedora 14 running the 2.6.38.3-15.rc1.fc15.x86_64 kernel. I then run a python script I've written to do batch process transcoding on the clips so that I can then edit them in cinelerra. FWIW, the transcode command is: nice ffmpeg -i infile.MTS -y -deinterlace -s hd720 -r 29.97 -acodec pcm_s16be -ar 48000 -ac 2 -vcodec mjpeg -qscale 2 out.mov. The python script batches these commands until they are all completed.
The system is capable of 16 concurrent threads and I set up 8 concurrent run queues to do the processing. Occasionally (about one in every 7 runs), the system will hard lockup during the batch. The X screens are still visible, but the mouse and keyboard are dead and the onscreen clocks freeze. The network io led still flashes but the hard disk io led is on solid at that point, leading me to theorize a kernel bug in the software raid handling. I am not able to remote log in and the system must be then hard rest with the reset button. After the reset there is no useful information in the system logs. this is a pretty uber SMP machine: two westmere quad core cpus, 24GB of ram and a four WD disk software stripe array running under the Intel ICH10 controller. I also have a RocketRaid controller installed but no disks are currently attached to it, and I disabled its bios in the setup. Additional disks under the ICH10 are an SSD system disk, and a sata insertion caddy that I usually have occupied with a disk I do backups to. So, all 6 channels on the ICH are usuallt occupied. General output from hdparm -i is:

After a respective amount of Google-ing, I did not manage to come up with an answer to this. This has been a problem for several people because Ubuntu or any other distribution that I know of does not support the Linksys AE1000 card. It's kinda a pain because my desktop needs wireless in order to connect to the internet (for several reasons...) Is anybody working on the drivers for this? I would prefer not to be stuck with Windows. I would love to run a light weight distro on it instead.

have an old system with 256mb memory running 10.10. I use this mostly to run as a host for tomcat6 and glassfishv3 and cherokee accessible from other systems on my home net. dont really need much of a desktop 4 it but am reluctant to handle ubuntu server edition until i know ubuntu better. do you think xubuntu will use up less juice than standard ubuntu ? can i retrograde my 10.10 ubuntu version to xubuntu, or will this need a full fresh install ? is there a separate forum thread 4 xubuntu ?

So I wanted to install Ubuntu 11.04 on my ASUS 900a that only has 4GB of disk space. Of course Ubuntu 11.04 requires 4.4GB, so I started looking for alternatives.I tried to get Lubuntu 11.04, but when I ran the installation process it states that 5GB are required. Not very light weight IMHO if this is the case.I was hoping that someone had an idea of how to install a strippted version of Ubuntu 11.04 (maybe without some of the apps like the LibreOffice Suite) or knew why Lubuntu was asking for so much hard drive space.I'm hoping to move away from my light-weight version of WinXP.

Got a problem with fonts in 'Konsole'-windows. 'Bold' fonts are being cut off at the last letter. Sometimes only half the letter is visible, sometimes the letter is completely invisible. No problems with fonts in xterm. Set the standards in '/etc/DIR_COLORS', but the problem still exists in (for example):
- man-pages (headings)
- perldoc (headings)
- vi (infos at bottom, like -- INSERT --)
- ...
Is there a solution to turn off bold fonts in Konsole completely? Would be my favourite! I'm using OpenSUSE 11.3, KDE 4.4.4 "release 2"...

In the Evolution message list, all messages are shown in bold whether read or unread. I know it's supposed to only show unread messages in bold, but it shows read messages in bold too, so you can't tell between them. The read/unread flag is set properly - you can tell by right-clicking on the message and seeing whether it offers to toggle it to read or unread. But the font remains bold no matter what.

I have a 64 bit system on which I am trying to install Linux. I installed Ubuntu but it does not have a dialup option and since I live in a rural area I only have access to dialup at this time.
Does anyone know of a 64 bit operating system which contains dialup capability? I have tried reading about the various distros but have been unable to find any which indicate they work with dialup.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on an Acer Aspire 5530G. On a fresh install, the HDD is silent after logging in and the desktop is immediately ready for use. A few days and updates later, after every login, there's heavy HDD activity that lasts about 20/30 seconds and makes it almost impossible to perform any other task. The entire desktop is visible during said event.
Not a big issue, however it bothers me a little. I've observed this behavior since Ubuntu 9.10. Anyone else experiencing similar problem?
