I'm curious about your userChrome.css, your browser is clean as fuck

>>54041624
Thnx m8. I started with some minimalist theme and used Firefox's browser in a browser to hand hack it til I got the padding and tab borders right. It's all templated out (everything is), so changing things up is quick n mindless

Jordan should watch Chuunibyou.
>>54042165
Are you going to watch a channel?
>>54042200
Maybe
>>54042099
It's a pretty cool way to learn about userlands, groups, and whatnot. I'm working on getting the archaic mail working to add further interaction between the users. Lightdm already has every name, info, and thumbnail alongside gnome, but I still have to theme that.
Plus each user has their own settings, so I can use them to mess around with different services and configurations, the original intent of reviving this old PC.
>>54042209
You should
>>54042212
you know what you should work on? : watching k-on! and aiura; you won't regret it
>>54042237
I'll pay you your dollar back if you want, but I'm not going to watch it

>>54042212
I've always kind of wanted to set something cool up like that, perhaps make good use of brtfs as well
>>54042295
No it won't, just because you like it doesn't mean it will impact me, and thinking so is extremely nearsighted, like a kid who thinks eating some candy will cheer up an adult.

I'm being 100% serious

>and thinking so is extremely nearsighted, like a kid who thinks eating some candy will cheer up an adult.
SPICY
>>54042363
Sometimes candy cheers me up
okay ftubuntu6s aka sister aka apollo, i guess ill leave you alone about k-on & aiura for a few threads *maybe; i just wanted to help you have good taste
>>54042362
I may mess with filesystems some as well, probably a remote server too, which may add some ntfs in there
>>54042385
It was a bad analogy, I love candy
>>54042389
this isn't about taste
>>54042395
I bet you would love k-on & aiura also

a thread full of people trying to cheer you up, and you're so bitter that you refuse just to spite them
sad desu
>>54042543
Yes, there was so much love yesterday too
I do appreciate the sentiment, but watching k-on will only annoy me at this point, and I don't know about aria, but I have things to watch before it anyways.
>>54042588
we wanted you to watch aiura but aria would be another great one
>>54042596
Oh, right
>>54042596
i actually need to finish aria myself, probably after I finish tamayura though
>>54040541
Do you know what userland means?
>>54042742

I was fucking around with different gtk themes today for whatever reason and somehow my font in Firefox got fucked up. I'm using the same exact Stylish css as before, but the font size is too big so it's all blurry.
Left is after, right is a screenshot from a while ago; what it looked like before.
How do I fix this?
The font-size in my UI, 4chan css's is the same as it was before, and changing it to make it smaller makes it too small, even if I decrement it by 1.
Any ideas?
>>54046042
lol
>>54046042
Delete /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf
>>54046064
This didn't solve the problem, but it looked relevant. In the file it said that scalable was false I believe
>>54046139
That's odd. Your problem is definitely that your bitmap font (looks like tewi) is being scaled to a different size. What is your font size set to?
>>54046157
It is tewi, good eye.
Strangely enough, in the Stylish css, it is set to 11px (and was always 11px), but is 8px in my terminal; the sizes were equal despite this.
Here's it set at 8px in Stylish, compared to the 11px in the address bar.
>>54046207
Excuse that; apparently had another Firefox open in another workspace so closing and reopening it didn't change anything.
>>54046157
All is good now, thank you very much kind anon!
A good suggestion, would be to use a non-bitmap font. I hope this is helpful to you.
>>54040178

I haven't really had any trouble with it, to be honest. It's a hell of a lot better than the clusterfuck that was 8.
>>54046785
When trying to boot the Arch iso, it keeps crashing while loading the kernel. I have literally tried to get rid of everything that could cause this. Swapped USB sticks, used DvD to eliminate possible errors, used different distros and versions from different sources, got rid of all the hardware I dont actually need such as my GPU, HDDs, RAM (basically my PC was only motherboard, single channel RAM and a CPU) and every Linux distro I try to boot crashes during boot.
So I figured its the BIOS settings because what else is left, though I have changed literally everything I could that would make a difference.
My PC just hates Linux for no fucking reason and I feel like killing myself.
>>54046871
Hmm. Do you get any message during the boot? Perhaps you could try UEFI if possible, or try disabling xHCI in your bios
>>54046894
I tried both UEFI and BIOS mode, both x64 and 32, I tried everything that could cause problems in my UEFI (Intel Virtualisation enabled/disabled, secure boot etc.) and it just freezes and crashes. No error code. The best I managed to do was the second boot after the first crash, I got a kernel panic but didn't bother writing down what it said, because I was sure I could recreate it anyways.
I couldn't. Now it just crashes and nothing happens.

one of the most retarded things i've ever seen

>during boot
Oh, I though a message on crash.
Noting really interesting, just the usual stuff. Though interestingly it seems to have problems with my CPU from time to time, though it manages to get past this part every time before it freezes. Next thing I'm gonna do is disable all damn CPU cores except for one, but I dont want to live in a world where I can only use one of my cores for Linux.

that's actually a desktop, not your mirror

It honestly sounds like a hardware problem at that point. Perhaps something is faulty on your motherboard, I have no idea what would cause it to fail so consistently.

I'll agree 8 is a clusterfuck, I really don't like it. 10 has a (some what better) GUI, but its not just about looks for me.
No, I'm in IT so I don't think like an average user about these things. Another thing I can't stand is that they have the settings menu, and the control panel. Practically both do the same thing, only one gives you fewer options with a shitty faux-mac design.
And one thing, I can not get over, and maybe its nit-picking, but... Cmd doesn't recognize 'clear'.
Powershell does, but a normal user doesnt have powershell preinstalled. So when I need to check something like a forced policy update and then flush the resolver cache, I like to at least clear the window so I have a clean window to work with. But NOOOO.
Fuck, sorry. Its simple shit like that, you know?

Windows boots and runs just fine, thats what I'm currently on and I have checked everything I could (Memtest, CPUtest)
Also no problems running windows for a long time now (because its obviously the only way to use this fucking PC right now)
Because of the way I treat my hardware and built this PC its highly unlikely that parts are damaged.
I bet its some small stupid thing I missed or did wrong in the BIOS that makes Linux crash, though its so hard to google this problem because noone seems to be able to relate. And I guess thats the worst part. Knowing its most likely totally simple, not finding it on my own and noone that can help.
Again, kill me please. And sorry for derailing this thread, but talking about this to someone feels good.

On my Asus mobo I have to put a setting on "Other OS" if I want to get linux and windows to dual boot.
>>54047122
Tried that already, didn't help. Thx anyways.
>>54047122
Also, one last thing before I attempt another boot, any problems with Linux and overclocks?
Again, I didnt mess with the CPU yet, will disable cores now though and if that doesn't help Ill work on the OC I guess.
People on the Ubuntu forum were talking at how an overclock never made them crash during boot in a thread about a similar problem, so I didnt bother trying that so far (mostly because I dont like to fuck around with my voltage). Thoughts?

My god, this desktop looks so nice.
Just installed Xubuntu need to work towards something which resembles this

SweetOS, not a real OS I think...
