  Fonts: Linux Lite 4.8, Not showing up, working after Install
Posted by: nick.shades - 04-26-2020, 02:57 AM - Forum: Other - Replies (3)

Howdy Folks. Relatively new user of Linux Lite here. I am attempting to make a custom interpretation of conky, and decided to download some free fonts to make it my own.

64-bit Linux Lite 4.8, 18 hour old Installation
NUC7i3DNKE
m.2SSD / Single Partition Linux Install

I installed everything by default from the USB installation. After squaring away some simple mechanics for my use of this installation (Bluetooth, docking bay, Google integration), I started to play with conky, and install a couple of fonts.

The first font that I installed was Initial.ttf ... I downloaded it to my Download directory. Unzipped its Archive, Right clicked the font itself, and Opened it in "Fonts" and then Clicked Install in the header bar.

I rebuilt the font cache using fc-cache -f -v 
I opened the widget file in the conky-lite directory and changed the fields which I wanted a different font to Initial. CTRL+S, and it worked like a charm.

I downloaded another font, installed it the same way - twenty-one.ttf and a third font, the amazing grace.ttf  -- fc-cache -f -v and then adjusted the widget file in leafpad again. CTRL+S, and it did NOT work like a charm.

It reverted back to the original font I had started with before using Initial.ttf

I tried to manually bring the font from the download directory which I had it in at Install over to the directory /usr/share/fonts/truetype/litefonts and then fc-cache -f -v  which it ran succesfully, but STILL is not reflecting the new font in the conky-lite widget.


Is there something that I skipped ? Is there a way to uninstall the fonts, and try installing them again?

Your knowledge, advice, and patience is highly appreciated.

Thank you,

Nick Shades

**edit: 8:17pm PST 4/25/2020 -- I decided to do a hard reset, and the fonts seem to work, now. specifically, "the amazing grace" which I installed last. Not sure why it did not work with the rebuild of the font cache. I am going to try the other font which I was interested in first and come back to this thread.

**edit: 9:28m PST 4/25/2020 -- Played with the other fonts I was interested in using - "twenty-one.ttf" and it would not load, despite being installed. I rebuilt the font cache as listed above, this time with sudo as well , and it did not work after rebuilding the cache. Is there another variable to the rebuilding of the cache string which I should use? It seems to me that rebuilding the cache should work in absence of a reset every time, after all, thats why we use Linux, right?

Is there a way to rebuild the font cache without resetting, and with a string different than fc-cache ?



**Edit: 9:52pm  -- THis is very, very strange. I can open LibreOffice and use any of the fonts which I have installed without a problem, but I cannot get several of them to load into the widget for conky.

If I can use a font that is installed in LibreOffice without any problem, but I cannot get it to load into Conky, is it named something different? is there something I should do differently?

I am going to attempt to add some screenshots of what is going on.

** Edit: 10:06pm -- added screenshots

  No icon desktop
Posted by: jim - 04-25-2020, 08:24 PM - Forum: Other - Replies (2)

Pardon me for my senility
Sometime time ago I used a release of some linux product that allowed me to disable the icon from a launcher and just use the words themselves.
I am looking as to what desktop that was?

By way of explanation.  Now that I am senile I can no longer look at an Icon and associate it with something physical.  That includes colors and other things that require cognitive skills.
Thanks for any help you can give, this maybe the last stop before god old "PCdos" where I started .

  Canon Maxify MB5050 Networked Printer Not Seen
Posted by: Alberto Rangel - 04-24-2020, 04:06 PM - Forum: Printing and Scanning - Replies (3)

Hello LL support,

Just recently install LL 5,0 RC on a Dell Alien-ware 15 R2 laptop and LL 5 can seem to find the networked printer using the "add printer". I've even gone to the extend of installing the Canon MB5050 but it doesn't seem to find the printer on the network. I have verified that the printer works on a Windows system and also had it working with Linux Mint 19.0 >.

Can you help?

  Suggest a search window integrated into task list
Posted by: Nanayaw - 04-23-2020, 02:14 PM - Forum: Suggestions and Feedback - Replies (9)

Hello All,

I like to suggest a search window integrated into the task list,
where internet searches could placed and then the browser
will open with the search result.

See attached picture area with red boundaries

I think it will be a nice feature what will make LL more comfortable.

From my view following will be needed:
> Search window >> it is allready used for some issues at LL
> A selection of the browser, default is standard browser (Settings)
> A selection of the search provider Google ..... (Settings)

I know it is easy to suggest, but not so easy to implement.

If it can't set at task list then a desktop widget will be nice also.

Greetings

Nanayaw

  Spice QXL Driver
Posted by: dadscorp - 04-23-2020, 07:20 AM - Forum: Video Cards - Replies (3)

Hi Guys,
I am new to Linux Lite. Just tried the RC of 5.0 and its awesome.
new users should certainly like it.

Now I am not able to install the drivers required for getting spice graphics up and running in the VM. cant find the driver for xorg for spice

I followed the steps in
https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/libosinfo/issues/2

but cant get it to install - xserver-xorg-video-qxl

Would be good to run Linux Lite 5 as a guest with spice enabled in a KVM/QEMU environment
