PS:

I'm a dyslexic, so I anyway see funky letters, with or without odd
rendering. Anyway, a good rendering could be helpful, to reduce issues
cause by dyslexia. Read that funky letters white boy.

Nice example:

In the African savanna it's unimportant for the monkey on which side
the tail of the lion is:

d  lion with tail to the right 
b  lion with tail to the left

Lion = danger, with the tail to the right or the left

When reading words, it's important, if the lion's tail is at the right
or left site.

Pattern detection is tricky. Keep in mind, a dyslexic has less issues
to read a sentence, than an computer driven car has problems with
being be a secure car ;).

Btw. regarding fonts no distro seems to be perfect. While the rendering
of the fonts for my Arch install might be better for nearly all
applications, compared with my Ubuntu install, I get unwanted
psychedelic colouration effects for black fonts, when visiting websites
with Mozilla and Mozilla forked browsers, only on Arch Linux.

PS:

I prefer openbox over jwm, for the very simple reason, that I'm able to
remember, what key I need to push, assumed a window's title bar hides
under a panel. Apart from this jwm most likely is faster and smaller,
than openbox, but also as stable and comfortable as openbox.
However, it's an issue hat sometimes window title bars disappear under
a top panel and since openbox is more or less equal to jwm and I know
how to move a window in such a situation when using openbox, I only
install jwm as a fallback, assumed openbox should fail.

It's installed and I already used it. I don't remember if I ever set up
jwm for my Ubuntu install. Perhaps it doesn't generate a jwmrc with
defaults, if a user does launch it.

Well how is the package being seeded and which would you rather have in the
distro?

Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] Possible Tester

[Matthew Bearson]

I recently reinstalled my copy of Win 10 onto my laptop and never got to
the point of reinstalling, in anyone's opinion should I just buy a VMWare
Workstation license, download Virtualbox, or reinstall Ubuntu Studio?

Is jwm installed on your Ubuntu install? Maybe you checked the wrong
directory?

For jwm there should be a .jwmrc. I can't find it for my Ubuntu install,
but for my Arch install I run feh like this, by the .jwmrc:

feh --bg-scale 
/home/rocketmouse/.customization/dark_cartoon_art-modified-1152x864.jpg

At least my Ubuntu provides the openbox autostart, too:

[root@archlinux moonstudio]# systemd-nspawn -q
[root@moonstudio ~]# grep feh /home/weremouse/.config/openbox/autostart 
(sleep 1 && feh --bg-scale ~/Pictures/moonstudio_wallpaper_1.png) &

I'm using openbox, but used jwm, too. Instead of a script using xrandr,
I prefer an xorg.conf, while just using one monitor and I autostart feh
by the WMs autostart features.
Ubuntu ignores ~/.gtkrc-2.0, ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and qt5ct
seems not to be available by official repositories. I don't know how
to set up wine fonts, but already common configs to set up GTK and Qt
fonts doesn't work for Ubuntu. You might need to get through all
dependencies and take care about all font configurations. Debian/Ubuntu
might have add patches, you perhaps need to remove, when building your
own packages. My daily workstation for good reasons is _not_ Ubuntu,
but Arch Linux ;).

Ralf

[ubuntu-studio-devel] antiX Linux, great piece of software to construct other UbuntuStudio

[WMID]

Hi to all.

I remember that some one give the idea for use jwm and like x windows
managers to construct a UbuntuStudio release. I

I said I did not like the idea that connect to external monitors was
difficult, and that this is automatic in UbuntuStudio, easy to configure.
In addition I could not set my external monitor VA1931wa-LED ViewSonic to
75Hz to avoid eye strain, but now I found a solution with this script:

#! /bin/bash
# Este es el script que yo utilizo para ponerle 75Hz a mi monitor externo y
al mismo
# Adaptado de "Using xrandr and gtf to add a new mode to your X
configuration at runtime" http://www.arunviswanathan.com/node/53
# Este script funciona primero apagando el monitor de mi laptop y luego
poniendo el nuevo modo al externo y los 75Hz
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off
xrandr --newmode "1280x768_75.00"  102.98  1280 1360 1496 1712  768 769 772
802  -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1280x768_75.00
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x768_75.00
feh --bg-scale /home/wachin/.icewm/wallpaper/Jesus-inside.jpg &
# Para ponerle un wallpaper al escritorio de icewm después que he puesto
los 75Hz.

With this script first:
1.- turn off laptop monitor
2.- turn on external monitor
3.- enable wallpaper (of course in second because this are on)

Now I working in the config files and make a entry in my linux blog

icewm Administrador de Ventanas para PC con bajos recursos en Ubuntu
http://facilitarelsoftwarelibre.blogspot.com/2016/07/icewm-administrador-de-ventanas-para-pc.html

is only in english, but contain very usefull content.

Now I install antiX Linux 2016 to learn the

.icewm

folder, inside this are more configurations that I need to learn.

This antiX have others x window manager like jwm, but I think that IceWM is
the best (this is the default in antiX).

I think that is possible fo UbuntuStudio Team make other release but with
IceWM

Then it would be two download releases that the public would

1.- UbuntuStudio XFCE based
2.- UbuntuStudio IceWM based

But now I have only a several problem. Wine Apps have very bad renderin
fonts, the appearance is bad, and I use a Windows Software that I can't
use: e-Sword

[ubuntu-studio-devel] unmet dependencies

[Set Hallstrom]

Hi all,

We seem to have a problem with murrine-themes:

> The following packages have unmet dependencies: greybird-gtk-theme :
> Breaks: murrine-themes (< 0.98.11~) but 0.98.6ubuntu1 is to be
> installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken

I was informed that xubuntu are seeding shimmer-themes directly, rather
than murrine-themes. Shouldn't we do the same?

Any pros and cons we should be aware of?

As with many of the technical things, i'm very much a noob in the
whatnots of theming and its dependencies. That is, if you guys can break
it down for me in the easiest possible way, i'd be super grateful.

Yours,
*Set
