furgexI don't understand (amprolla). I'm creating a distro derived from devuan. I need to create a repository for my distribution and then use amprolla, would that be it?16:14
furgexfor custom packages16:14
fsmithredI have answers, but the questions no longer have questioners.17:25
comborico1611Accented characters in Libreoffice appear one size too big. I am using Refracta19:27
adaNewb1234Are you sure the font you are using has the relevant characters?19:29
comborico1611I believe so.  On my old laptop, there were no issues.  Same OS too.19:29
comborico1611And, of course, I can see the characters.19:31
comborico1611But if I select just the accented character and reduce font size by one, it looks seamless.19:31
adaNewb1234strange.19:32
comborico1611yep19:32
comborico1611I wonder if there is some interfering setting from AbiWord19:33
CueXXIIIthat does sound like a font issue; when your current font does not have accented characters, linux replaces those with glyphs from another font when it can find one19:42
CueXXIIIdo you have a screenshot of aäá ?19:42
comborico1611Where can I host a screenshot?19:46
fsmithredIt's possible that a package is missing. Refracta is installed without Recommends.19:52
ted-iouscomborico1611: curl  -F"file=@file_name_here"  https://envs.sh19:52
fsmithred(re)move /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00norecommends and reinstall libreoffice19:52
ted-iouscomborico1611: It won't last very long but it should just work for a screenshot.19:53
fsmithredor maybe do a simulated reinstall first to see what you get19:53
comborico1611So when I type, it is the correct size.  Apparently, it is just when reading from a file.19:56
comborico1611But I know it looked fine on my old laptop.  And it reads uniform size on my phone with a program called FBReader.19:57
comborico1611("it" being the file.)19:57
comborico1611(re)move the file and reinstall didn't work.20:02
comborico1611What is simulated reinstall?  Just install from live disk?20:03
comborico1611(Just install libreoffice from live disk?)20:03
comborico1611fsmithred, my accent character issue was resolved when I added more fonts.21:43
adaNewb1234called it!21:43
comborico1611yes21:44
comborico1611so relieved. I was worried I would need to deal with the unsightlyness or switch distros...21:45
ibanjaI just upgraded to daedalus and now my label printer doesn't work. Under the user column (http://127.0.0.1:631/jobs/) it says Withheld. I am a member of lp.21:47
ibanjaIt also says "Waiting for printer to become available."21:48
ibanjatail -f /var/log/cups/error_log >> https://paste.debian.net/1309461/21:52
ibanjaI changed a slash to a dash and retried printing and now it shows state as "Rendering completed" instead of  "Waiting for printer to become available." But, still not printing.21:54
ibanjaFixed it by deleting printer and reinstalling.22:02
ted-iousibanja: What kind of label printer is it?22:24
ibanjaZebra thermal 2844 SB22:36

bb|hcbCueXXIII: Yeah, the purpose of that regexp is to find _some_ packages, not to be complete ;) :P Feel free to correct/extend it :)23:19

al1r4d"devuan unstable seems to be in some kind of dependency hell upgrade where they are renaming a bunch of libraries to libblahblah64"23:30
bb|hcbal1r4d: The same is true for Debian. That is why unstable is unstable - during transitions things get broken23:32
bb|hcbI keep my systems on stable and upgrade to testing during the second half of the release cycle. Then to stable after the release.23:36
bb|hcbunstable is only good for development, for everything else the choice should be testing. And it is really close to unstable (like 3-5 days), just avoiding most of the development process glitches...23:37
