what if i want to make a partition the maximum size that fat32 can support as my efi partition
reef tundra
what is this word vomit meant to be? tldr?
plush summit
bash
plush summit
before the first 3 `
proud nacelle
cut the irrelevant parts
and do some comparision
it's an extremely filthy way of doing it
as for making it the maximum size, just check if it's equal to the maximum size of the fat32 filesystem
so in this case i think you would replace it ge with eq VFAT32MAXSIZE
Also chief
2 tib for fat32
i don't think you want to allocate 2tib of fat32
plush summit
what if i am crazy enough to do so
reef tundra
just work with mb instead

proud nacelle
listen i've barely gotten more than 4-6 hours in the past week due to fucking construction workers
so i think i'm allowed to say that i'm fucking exhausted
proud nacelle
and does it recognize when it's smaller than 1g?
as for the commands to extend the filesystem, i cba to find them rn.
plush summit
later if you can
reef tundra
that sounds like a great way to randomly fall asleep during something
plush summit
without destroying the current files
proud nacelle
you can't extend a partition without the potential of destroying files
not to mention to extend a partition you need space to do so
so you would need to shrink the partition ahead of it
reef tundra
non-partioned area?
proud nacelle
which also leads to it's own set of issues
reef tundra
defragnentation
proud nacelle
no
it's a loop
everything gets displaced if there is no space
which at the end fails
plush summit
Gfarted did it wothout destroying nfiles
proud nacelle
and everything needs to revert
yes but gparted is a child's toy
if you use parted on the other hand
shudders
reef tundra
real men use dd
plush summit
Parted is for dos
proud nacelle
almost positive parted works for gpt too
hold up gonna dl it look at man pages
yeah it supports gpt
actually now i realize something
since parted 3.0, resize has been removed
so gparted isn't even accurate anymore
resize2fs is what you need to resize things
however you need to do a bunch of stuff for it to be successful.
like one of the things i've previously spoken about : free space ahead to expand
i can probably look into it tmrw if i feel like it
plush summit
yeah
proud nacelle
but
plush summit
if you can give me some steps i can do
proud nacelle
at least that script figures out if the efi partition is below 1gb
plush summit
i already know that i need to resize and then move an entire partition
it is very hacky
you check for 1g
proud nacelle
i can't provide guidance rn
proud nacelle
you have the script which tells you if it's below 1g
plush summit
yeah
proud nacelle
so you'll need to either figure it out by yourself
or i'll look at it tmrw

I do not understand why do so many people still trust moore’s law is dead
I trusted him for some time, but now, he is getting too many things wrong
And behaves strange
Last time people were redirecting him to sth with gn video he said, that gn said 3080 is 25% faster
He forgot to mention it is 25% faster than 2080 ti, although everyone else was talking about it compared to 2080
ashen spindle
been saying for a while now he doesnt really have accurate leaks ¯_(ツ)_/¯
shadow minnow
And still so many people subscribing to him and liking his videos. It is just...
ashen spindle
and even more people see LTT as the most indepth tech channel on youtube ¯_(ツ)_/¯ randoms will always be stupid
shadow minnow
I did not hear from anyone it is in-depth,
But it is definitely most popular
And I think linus’s videos are usually quite good
But sometimes he does really stupid things
Like not limiting current on TEC, of course it will take as much as it can
ashen spindle
idk, I dont watch ltt anymore really, point was lot of people are stupid
and nobody I find reputable or talk to trust mlid so I just forget about him usually ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It's one of the first and few 'tweaks' I do

Nope

Disabling pointer precision switches to a fallback acceleration mode

With the settings I use one sensor step means 1 pixel on the display

Enabling it actually messes with my precision when clicking small things in Chrome right now, because my brain and hand are so used to it moving slower with small movements.
zenith sonnet
If I half the DPI on my mouse, the cursor moves at half speed, I need to cover twice the distance to produce 1 step
Yes, the fix is only active with Enhanced Pointer Precision turned on
@reef patrol But in return you can actually build true muscle memory
reef patrol
The fix is there because some games (and software) forces precision on.
zenith sonnet
For me, it's a desktop enhancement first and foremost
reef patrol
What Xeanoa said 😄
And I do play a lot of old games. Might as well have consistency "just in case"
It's just enabled by default in Windows.
So that's what I'm used to.

With either setting, you get mouse acceleration
Windows natively has no way to turn it off

alright. just set up my pc to make calls through my phone with an app called Your Phone

@vagrant marsh You need and app for that on windows?
vagrant marsh
its microsoft's app
you can control your phone through that app 🙂
since windows mobile was a failure, they changed their strategy to allow the best windows integration on other platforms

RTX 3090 close to 2x the price for +10% perf
Nice
RTX 3070 is shaping to be a baller card it seems
10% less perf than 3080 would really be about 2080Ti'ish perf for 499
Or was it 399?
Also all Ampere nvidia cards with the exception of 3090 are getting 2x VRAM options for future OEM models apparently
16GBs for 3070, 20 for 3080
RTX 3070 looks actually really damn good
timid chasm
People have access to 3090's?
vagrant marsh
yes. 10% over the 3080. which in turn does 60% better than the 2080
so 70% better than the 2080 😛
ashen spindle
yup and not a big surprise, Titan RTX was also just a bit ahead of 2080ti
it's just a titan and for that market, but sold as a gaming card ¯_(ツ)_/¯
vagrant marsh
cause some gamers want those extra flops
ashen spindle
think its rather because with the 350W tdp they couldnt really market it as a Titan
cursive summit
Someone shunt modded it to do 550W
The perf increase was another 10% I think?
Yeah from 10k to 11k
So about extra 10%
For a massive increase in your monthly power bill
vagrant marsh
increasing power usually has that effect
urban lynx
i feel like the more than doubled vram is the thing that increased the price
do we have an idea how long it would take for more variation on the cards? like ti and such?
ashen spindle
nope, but I bet they will announce or release them a bit after amd announcement to say "hey look we have more ram"
urban lynx
any chance that'll happen before the supposedly final cyberpunk release date?
vagrant marsh
november?
no way. too soon
they release the 3070 in october. and when you look at how soon the 3080 and 90 are sold out. even if its done by the power of bots, there was hardly any stock.
so i think it may take up to december or even new year before we will see the 50 and 60
or they do another YEET and call them 2650, 2660
i mean, first they do gtx with rtx. you think they will change the entire brand to rtx?
i think they will still sell gtx cards
as graphics cards will get more and more cudo cores, they might need to save them for higher end cards, so lower end cards will become known as gtx
non raytracing capable cards
vagrant marsh
and cpu's on 08.10
ashen spindle
stock is not the issue they had more stock than on 20 series release
yes the entire stack will be RTX
AMD will have RT on the entire stack, nvidia is not going to admit they weaker cards are worse than amd by not having RTX
zenith sonnet
@cursive summit 3070 is not GDDR6X, it'll have much worse perf at QHD and UHD
crimson wigeon
I think releasing any new cards that aren't RTX capable is a stupid idea now
Yes even the total trash that struggles to render a desktop deserves to be able to handle RTX

Here's a really stupid question:
Why does either Microsoft or Sony not wait a year to release a new console, and one-up the other with a significant hardware advantage for the next 7 years until the cycle ends?
zenith sonnet
Sure, sure
But they gain the majority sales for the following 7 years
reef patrol
Eh... less now than previously. Gotta sell those Pro models xD
zenith sonnet
Also, if they market it early, I lot of people will not buy the early console
And instead wait a year to get the better model
I know I wouldn't
If the usage cycle is 7 years
vagrant marsh
yea, using 7 year old tech in today's market
nvidia already outdated sony's 'special decompression chip' before it was even released
vagrant marsh
and its not really 7 year old tech in the first place. i think the ps4 pro changed its chip to a stronger one
so they do upgrade the hardware mid-term
crisp granite
but this generation, it was to make the consoles work with 4k tvs
vagrant marsh
a natural step in evolution.
crisp granite
true
but not really a true upgrade
not worth $500 to most gamers
and they made some games better on the xbox one x
fallout 3 at 4k 60 fps
as opposed to 720p 24 fps
upscaled to 1080p
I don't know if sony did something similar
urban lynx
i was about to say, wasnt fallout 3 a 2009 game?
urban lynx
oh right, 3 was 2008, new vegas 2009, on the same engine
crisp granite
nv was 2010
urban lynx
honestly i need to play 3 again, but it keeps crashing.
to a point where i just do a crasch counter (instead of death counter)
crisp granite
try ttw
it's a mod that transplants all of fallout 3 into nv
so it has the improvements of new vegas
urban lynx
ttw? let me guess... "transfer the wasteland" ?
crisp granite
tale of two wastelands
urban lynx
ah
crisp granite
it is so stable
crisp granite
over 250 hours
not one crash
and no bugs
ttw is the best mod for fallout games, period.
urban lynx
does it change alot of stuff?
crisp granite
yes
ish
it adds things from one game into another
so it has fallout 3's craftable weapons
and nv's custom ammos
urban lynx
i mean, apart from that.
anything that changes from other play experiences
urban lynx
oh dw. i dont do lots of mods (anymore)
takes too much time to trouble shoot, and configure
urban lynx
i think in higher end section i've seen pre builds be pretty much equal cost with building it yourself. simply cause the builders get their stuff for a bigger discount than you ever would...

I am just the size to not be able to see my turning indicators

Just paying more than 20€ for a small mousepad seems kinda over-the-top to me
urban lynx
weird. i have struggles finding motorcycles where i can even reach the stupid ground with my feet
even during my drivers exam for motorcycles the examer told me i look quite shaky on it...
125cc? that's barely enough power for my taste...
reef tundra
small mousepad could be around 700x300x1.5mm
urban lynx
cant even reach the limit on our normal country roads with a 125cc
well, maybe you can, but only with red lining it...
reef tundra
more cc == more boom boom motor
urban lynx
i mean, tbf, riding a honda cbr 125, or my friends honda cbf 125 wasn't that bad height wise. but cars kept passing me on the road when i was going the fastest i could...
reef tundra
2 stoke lets go
urban lynx
i mean my friend sold the cbf at the start of this season and got a kawasaki ninja, 650 from another girl
... i want the vulkan from kawasaki.
i once sat on one and the height was pretty good for me. i didnt expect that
especially since sitting on my stepdads victory 8, and later hd road king was kind of... bad for me
also on my grandpas hd the airfilter kept touching my leg. i hated that
i wished i were asked when they sold grandmas sportster... i liked that one
what is 36 inches in a measurement i actually understand?
omfg
thats tall
oh wow
i mean there once was this girl when i was still at school, she rode a dirt bike (but with street tires???)
and i was like "whoa. you're tall!"
the saddle was like, near chest area to me
and it was standing tilted
i mean, when i was looking for a nice motorcycle myself, the dealer guy went into the used section, and we both just silently looked at the dirt bike and other enduro's and just silently shook our heads before moving on to other models... lol
i mean honestly?
I'd love an electric one. like one of the zero models.
but... for the same money of a used one, i could get me a new vulkan...
only wished a used vulkan wasnt so barely depreciated...
even a 2016 model is barely 1,000€ less than a new one somehow
or maybe they just are always sold within hours
idk.
i need to find a specific kawasaki dealer nearby and ask them...
on the other hand... right now I'd be happy about having any motorcycle
bronze ether
idk what you mean by small exactly
@old marlin well I found GLIDE and MP510 are both available in 32x27 cm
old marlin
the AMP500 is larger 
zero is expensive though
especially once you have to ship and import them
urban lynx
is that electric?
actually... what are the ranges on the motorcycles?
do they reach 100km yet?
... also... i kinda got ptsd from french vehicles by now
oof... if they barely reach 100km it might be a struggle to go and from work with one...
meh.
we dont really have offroad stuff aorund here anyway
and while i kind of like the looks of the one or other enduro type, i'm actually looking for something else tbh
i live in germany...
if you drive into the forest, and dont hit another village within 15 minutes then you are driving in a circle.
besides, arent really allowed to ride on the forest paths anyway
lots of forbidden signs at all the entrances to the forest basically
i'm actually not really liking ktm
what I've seen didnt really strike a chord with me
... honestly i just want my metallic purple kawasaki vulkan
newer gen
the looks stayed the same since about 2016 from what i can tell
only slight improvements to little things from year to year
i think the purple was part of the factory color scheme from 2015 to 2017
currently their colors are white, black, and either with like a green highlight trim for some reason
that's kinda the color scheme I'd love
"american style" ? 
i mean... i told you about my whole family riding cruisers and such...
and tbf, this is kind of how any motorcycle looked like in the early days
dude have you looked at the first bmw motorcycles?
striking similarity to indians
this is the first motorcycle after the second war, when permission to fabricate engined vehicles again. bmw
and the ww2 model of a bmw motorcycle
i mean, this one is the 1925 released r39...
and it has kind of forward foot thingies
tbf, the vulcan s is standard under your body too with its footpegs
well, not like most sporty bikes
also it comes with a toe shifter
and honestly, i think i might want to get a kit to turn it into a toe heel shifter
and dude, cruisers around here? they are kind of half the market.
(besides, didnt you notice i listed my entire family riding stuff like victory, and harley davidson? lol)
i mean my stepdad is part of an MC
and my grandpa used to be too
bronze ether
the AMP500 is larger :pepeThonk:
@old marlin yea, and more expensive for that
urban lynx
are you aware of the Boss Hoss bikes?
we got a german band called Boss Hoss too.
(and yes, there have also been filmings of them riding one of the boss hoss bikes.)
also: you will find that in germany you also see a lot of like honda rebels, suzuki intruders (my grandma also used to have this one) and yamaha viragos
and, of course, various harleys
... ?
yeah no. you gotta get it through tüv and what not here
also your bike cant be too loud
especially the guys from my stepdads club keep having issues with the police at times wanting to confiscate the bikes for being too loud
but that's an issue with any motorcycle tbh
not just the cruisers
alot of the big sport bikes also keep having the run ins
diesel trucks without exhaust? They'd have been removed from the streets like immediatly
i once drove a station wagon of a friends dad where the exhaust fell off.
thing was soo loud. i only moved it a couple of metres (friend had no license at the time) to the workshop.
police stopped us, would have confiscated if it wasnt for us actually going to the garage with it.
and it literally was just down the road

i just noticed, the "3rd party" cards for the 2080 seem to be in average 100-200€ more expensive... 
ashen spindle
yup
even wose for the 2080ti
dont think theres a single AiB version that is close to MSRP
urban lynx
annoying.
reef patrol
Quite normal.
ashen spindle
well, now they might be dropped but for other reasons 
urban lynx
cause that kinda makes me slowly go back to having a tendency to trying to get the 3090 at launch somehow, if the price difference is like less than 20% again...
ashen spindle
why do you think a 90 over the 80 makes sense for you
reef patrol
It's a Titan. They aren't designed to be value for money.
Just pushing as far as they can.
urban lynx
why do you think you need to explain to me why or why not i should buy a card?
ashen spindle
its not my money so in the end I don't care, just prefer to make sure people dont regret it because they might assume the wrong things about a product
urban lynx
i mean. i've made worse financial decisions in my life, that cost me more already
like buying a french car.
(like, i am aware that the speed is only marginally faster, and only real advantage seems to be the increased vram)
ashen spindle
if 5-10 frames at 4k is worth the extra 800$ to you I won't do anything to convince you otherwise ¯_(ツ)_/¯ just wanted to make sure you're aware
urban lynx
... and considering i was ready to drop money for a 2080ti in february/march already, and only waited because i started seeing articles about nvidia talking about a new gpu gen this year. and i was following that since then, and slowly got more and more info
also i think it's funny, the 3090 has on caseking already third party listings, and is barely 100€ more expensive than the FE.
actually, gigabyte is like on the same price with this one
but then we also have this listed
i'm curious how this will change with the actual release on thursday though
ashen spindle
will also depend if those are even available on launch
urban lynx
true
ashen spindle
meanwhile people seem to have lost a lot more braincells than I previously thought, the stock selling out apparently means it's not cool of reviewers to review cards and they should not do so bc it makes people sad to see the cards but they cant buy them
holy shit people are dumb
crimson wigeon
Well yeah your perception of these things get warped when you get everything for free
ashen spindle
eh, there definitely some but I dont think most will actually see it as entry level
I think amd might announce the entire stack so probably wont have to wait too long
reef patrol
Ufff.... finding special parts for my Mac project is such a pain. So many moonrune listings on Aliexpress and outdated blogs about how to do things.
lofty lintel
3090 is entry level
ashen spindle
Oh wow this is even worse than I thought, people are actually crying about reviewers getting a card for reviews and that it’s unfair. Also that it’s in poor taste to show videos with cards that are sold out and morally bad??? My brain hurts
reef patrol
😆
I'm just annoyed that nVidia focused on empty, video impression "reviews" over actual ones.
ashen spindle
well that's to be expected if you arent that confident in the product and normal marketing strategies
but ye I get it
but so many people are mad about the opposite of you lol
people really are fuming that GN/HuB/Anandtech etc. have "free" review cards and can make videos about them while the stock is sold out
urban lynx
that's like complaining about a car reviewer getting to review a car that they dont own, and only get to borrow by the manufacturer, isnt it?
ashen spindle
yes
ashen spindle
like if it's a limited car it would be even worse but nobody complains there either lol
zenith sonnet
I realise it's the system we have and it isn't changing, thanks to marketing
But I do believe reviewers being given free samples for review is a fundamentally flawed system
ashen spindle
reef patrol
I seem to recall Linus getting something like 15K for a sponsored video. Plus hardware.
ashen spindle

....and they are 😄
ashen spindle
I think he means it in a way to not do reviews or refusing cards if consumers cant get them yet
not telling nvidia to have stock ready, go against bots etc.
crimson wigeon
That has to be memes
urban lynx
peoples entitlement knows no boundaries
ashen spindle
yup
old marlin
yea instead of testing and reviewing, channels like GN should just give away their 3 cards 
old marlin
cause that will solve the problem
yea
just give the first card to me
than the biggest problem is solved already
ashen spindle
total of like <100? cards definitely makes a difference there
old marlin
yea obv
misty saffron
i wonder if only selling those in physical stores would've been a better idea
would've solved all problems with bots
zenith sonnet
Given just how limited supply was, that would've been a good idea
But they have no reason to care
Sold is sold
They earn the same amount either way
They could have easily implemented some antibot measures as well
urban lynx
how do the japanese do it?
a lottery?
maybe try that :P
ashen spindle
I mean, given the current situation I'd say it's very reasonable to not have even more stock in physical places, and we do see some scalpers, but it's not like we know 50% of the purchases were bots or something?
like I'd assume even without any bots the stock was depleted
zenith sonnet
It's easy to blame bots
But there was just to little stock to begin with
Mindfactory did not even get a single card it seems
reef patrol
My biggest worry is how almost only the asian manufacturers use reference design.
And those cards are more expensive here.
#WatercoolingJustGotPricy...er
ashen spindle
only if you dont want to take a block for founders edition though?
reef patrol
Only one place to get a FE card. nVidia. And everyone's camping those. Also I (still) detest their ugly 12pin solution on the 3080 xD
ashen spindle
ok but not liking the 12 pin is not a valid reason to say watercooling got pricier ;P
reef patrol
I mean... it is 😛

Also, those aren't top bins
I'd try to get an OC model or something with a better bin for WC
ashen spindle
for you maybe :p
reef patrol
Because there is only a single, high demand SKU there.
misty saffron
like I'd assume even without any bots the stock was depleted
@ashen spindle surely, but every card bought by bots could've been a card bought by a human
reef patrol
And besides - The FE block isn't even available yet.
ashen spindle
ok that I dont know, just know there are some out for it
and yeah, but people would still be complaining about not having a card
I'm not defending scalping obviously lul
reef patrol
200€ for the block alone 
ashen spindle
but it would only shift blame to smth else I feel like
zenith sonnet
I guess they didn't block bots
So people would blame scalpers instead of Nvidia for lack of stock

the one I use currently are from jds labs
ol dac with optical and usb input connected to an atom amp
I think some by schiit offers something similar too
old marlin
I mean
mcintosh is still around
I would advise against dac amp combo btw
just get a regular amp
and a 10 USD apple USB-C dongle
pretty good dac actually
yea not really
but going separate can save you some money
there is no reason to go with toslink
like no benefit over USB
unless you wanna play off of a CD player or something
lol
well
in the end it depends on budget
and what headphones you wanna stick on it
atm on an aune T1SE 
it is alright ig
can't you get that rmad btw?
I mean you could also fix it ig

too bad a certain current american president handles the china situation so bad, it just negates everything a consumer could do to make a point, so might as well just get whats best ¯_(ツ)_/¯
old marlin
lol
ashen spindle
anyway I just realized the ampere cards will basically do no OC since there is no headroom, so if you compare a 2080ti OC vs a 3090 OC you'll have a result of like <25%
old marlin
lol
ashen spindle
nice upgrade for 1.5k
ashen spindle
ye
old marlin
wowee
like
the only thing you have to watch out for is buying a card that doesn't throttle basically
ashen spindle
they introduced gpu boost 3.0 to help you find the best OC, then just made cards so hot/high freq you cant get any oc anymore
nice
"but how is amd going to ever beat this, thats a massive increase with ampere" yeah man, 30% at max is really something impossible to beat
yeah the battleground of 50 fps vs 50fps
bc its still singlethreaded

proud nacelle
dev seems to have gave up on it
"Anyway, as it is, I've archived uMatrix's repo, I can't and won't be spending any more time on this project, and neither on all such issues (https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uMatrix-issues/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed+label%3Ainvalid).
Whoever is free to fork under a new name -- I may re-open and resume development in some future if ever I feel for it."
ashen spindle
so its just not maintained for a while till someone else does it
proud nacelle
Right, and there's no guarantee to that.
ashen spindle
and even then I imagine it will take quite a while before ads find ways around it
reef patrol
uMatrix?
proud nacelle
Not to mention uBlock does everything that umatrix can AFAIK, just less easier.
Even the dev said it himself.
ashen spindle
wait so hes just dropping umatrix not ublock?
proud nacelle
Only umatrix.
ashen spindle
oh w/e then
oh wow
I really thought that would be more
it makes perfect sense given its only 20% more cores, I just didnt notice it wasn't more
urban lynx
i really think that the speed improvement itself is only minimal with the 3080 to the 3090, meaning the only real advantage the 90 has is its more than doubled vram
ashen spindle
yeah as they said, thats basically a titan card
jensen even called the 3080 the flagship for gaming
and with 20GB coming later for 3080 versions of AiB models, the 3090 is just money wasting lol
ohh right so tahts why the 90 is the only nvlink card
so you need to pay the extra for it if you want multiple
nova carbon
the 3090 doesnt even have extra FP64 performance? i thought that was the entire point of the titan class of cards
i assume the 20gb 3080 will come with a fairly large premium
nova carbon
i guess they did release a quadro too, thats the important one for productivity stuffs
ashen spindle
uhh pretty sure they did not release the quadros yet
nova carbon
oh yeah it might not be out yet, but i thought they at least announced
ashen spindle
only leaked so far
nova carbon
well ~700 is prob my budget for a new gpu, if the bonus vram costs like ~150-200 extra probably not willing to stretch my budget that much, tho maybe the like 3070ti will be more compelling, we'll see
misty pier
is the extra ram even worth it
ashen spindle
depends on your usecase
gaming most likely not
unless you are using 4k mods or skyrim modpacks etc. that can eat ram like chrome
crimson wigeon
Never

There probably will be Supers later on. but it seems like Nvidia is doing away with the Ti naming

@reef patrol remember the guy I mentioned yesterday who got really mad at reviewers for having a 3080? his entitlement must've been so big that (according to himself) jayz2$ responding with "lol get a load of this guy" made him feel suicidal lmao

ive got an interesting problem where xorg fonts ar completely broken
all UIs in kde are broken
there is no text for any application exept steam and chrome
and suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
crimson wigeon
The hell have you done? Broke fontconfig / freetype?
Does something that doesn't use modern fonts like xterm show anything?
crimson wigeon
Install it if it isn't already
plush summit
i did
as a backup
but i never used it as ive always either chrooted or used alt ctrl f3
crimson wigeon
Then launch it like any other binary
crimson wigeon
Preferably in your current X session, or if you really can't do it "blindly" do it in a VT but like DISPLAY=:0 xterm
crimson wigeon
Absolutely not, log in blindly if you haven't already
Or wait, it's broken in your DM as well?
reef tundra
use another tty to fix the main one
plush summit
xterm works
reef tundra
Does fc-list work?
plush summit
yes
crimson wigeon
okay great now you can start things and see error messages!
crimson wigeon
And investigate ~/.config/fontconfig if perhaps some rogue config snuck in there
reef tundra
What does xorg log?
crimson wigeon
Errors
plush summit
no errors
reef tundra
It either says that it loaded everything fine or screams in pain
crimson wigeon
So what does the broken text look like, how does it look if you use another account, what if you use another DE/WM (preferably something simple, like fluxbox), what if you do something like fc-match sans in a terminal near you, does the matched font look reasonable?
crimson wigeon
Even in xterm in non-truetype mode?
plush summit
how do i start xterm in nontruetype
crimson wigeon
It should be the default unless distros meddle with that nowadays
reef tundra
What did you update?
plush summit
i installed a theme from KDE store
reef tundra
removed it?
plush summit
no UI to do so
i swiched themes
but taht did not fix the issue
yes it persisted through root
it is broken for all users
reef tundra
Shell does have text?
plush summit
shell has text
crimson wigeon
How about the menus in xterm if you hold down control and any mouse button do those look correct? If so ctrl and right click can switch you out of truetype if it's on
crimson wigeon
So it does work
reef tundra
Try to download some kde theme
crimson wigeon
So what font does fc-match -v sans match to, does it look reasonable?
plush summit
it didnt say not found
so im assuming its ok
language, form, location, file name,
all look fine
reef tundra
no sans font?
crimson wigeon
Even size?
reef tundra
neofetch?
crimson wigeon
So if you launch things from xterm do you see any reasonable error messages?
plush summit
what should i launch
crimson wigeon
Anything that's broken, but preferably something simple so konsole or whatever
crimson wigeon
Nice you've really gone and done it now..
reef tundra
iso installer to refresh the install :)
plush summit
i would like a solution
because if this happens again
i need to know how to fix it
reef tundra
Someway the fontconfiguration for kde does not find the font and fails
or it crashes
crimson wigeon
Actually does dmesg have anything interesting perhaps you're an unfortunate victim of btrfs corruption, somehow!
crimson wigeon
It either uses standard fontconfig, which apparently your user specific config is empty, system config is /etc/fonts/conf.d... or it's hidden in one of the gorillion k* config files in .config
plush summit
so where should i look?
crimson wigeon
KDE hides font config in ~/.config/kdeglobals
crimson wigeon
Also how did you install the theme, right from the get new stuff thing and did you have to sudo it
plush summit
i did i through kde store
crimson wigeon
And also, what theme
crimson wigeon
Wish I knew, all I can tell you is investigate all the possible locations where fonts can be configured.. and then go nuke them and reinstall all relevant packages to get the default distro configs back, good luck!
plush summit
stumbeling arround without UI
i selected a font
so now everything is back to normal
time to break it again
to see which package is borked
and then remove it
plush summit
@crimson wigeon
crimson wigeon
Sup
plush summit
so one theme did break everything
the font was loaded properly
so no errors were generated
crimson wigeon
That seems really weird that apparently your whole system was busted because of that, and yet changing font in KDE fixed all 🤔
plush summit
yup
everything is back to normal
even restarting is fine
¯_(ツ)_/¯
all i wanted was a more square-like font
and a more arial like font
that is it
crimson wigeon
Did you actually create a new user and it was broken there too?
crimson wigeon
Depends on how you install.. through the usual package manager? Yes! Through the get new stuff thing? Probably not!
crimson wigeon
Then yeah it absolutely is system wide and can do whatever crazy things, so perhaps it has infested the global fontconfig in /etc/fonts with something strange.. and yes fontconfig is a pain in the ass so I try to stay away from it when I can

reef tundra
didnt that Finnish sniper with the worldrecord confirmed kills only use iron sights as scopes were bad lol
Also scope glint is a snipers nightmare
wheat plume
Oo
reef tundra
Häyhä preferred iron sights over telescopic sights, as they enable a sniper to present a smaller target for the enemy (a sniper must raise his head a few centimetres higher when using a telescopic sight), can be relied on even in extreme cold, unlike telescopic sights which tend to cloud up in cold weather, and are easier to conceal; sunlight can reflect off a telescopic sight's lenses and reveal the sniper's position. Häyhä also did not have prior training with scoped rifles, and therefore preferred not to switch to the Soviet scoped rifle (M/91-30 PE or PEM).
