#239083 — Ubuntu 14.04 Long Term Shitware: Bug #5 - small terminal font nearly unreadable

Screen res 1920x1200

http://bayimg.com/GaNEhaAfK

The screenshot improves it and makes it look tiny but OK, but in real 
life you can barely read it.  It makes the default terminal nearly useless.

Icons and file names and such are fine otherwise.

I did not find the terminal on mine hard to read... now the fact I cannot
get out of 800x600 is miserable but tied to my VM. I suppose I could go
editing x.org or whatever to try to fix it.

There are easier ways. Look up xrandr. No need to thank me.

Snit's "problems" and "KDE bugs" are clearly related to his crappy 
Parallels VM, which lacks (virtual) GPU acceleration for its client OS.

The *gratis* Oracle VM VirtualBox provides Virtual GPU accelerated 
drivers for both Linux and Windows client OS-es on both Linux and 
Windows host systems.

Some of them may have been vm-related, but most were not  (being 'honest 
and honorable' Snit tried to hide - in the videos themselves - that he 
was running Mint in a vm).



https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332452


* Creating a new folder gives no notification but creating a file does

* Creating a new folder with the same name errors out with no options, 
but creating a new file gives options

* The dialog for dealing with a name-conflict for files is absurd, 
telling me the file I have not created already exists and is newer than 
the file that does already exist, and worse yet it has pop up text 
telling me that if I select to "overwrite" the file I will be prompted 
again when I am not!

* The file creation notification is often wrong, telling me I have 
created a file when I have not or even telling me I have created a file 
with a name other than what I did (implying I overwrote an existing 
file). It also sometimes tells me a name and sometimes does not.

* Copy and Paste gives the incorrect option to "Paste URL" instead of 
"Paste File", then warns you will overwrite the file with itself

* Dialogs allowing renaming of a file in mid-creation which are 
completely different depending on how you go there

* The delete key does not delete a file, but right clicking gives the 
option to delete; shift delete deletes a file but delete does not (the 
meny bypasses the safeguard of the trash)

* Dragging files from the trash to the desktop changes their permissions 
(which leads to an error saying my disk might be full!)

* Dragging files from the trash back to the trash gives an absurd error 
offering the options of skipping and auto skipping, whatever that means, 
and leads to a file move conformation that makes no sense

* The trash toolbar has the option to create a folder - it does not work

* The menu has the same option grayed out, but does have the option to 
create files (which does not work yet leads to a confirmation)

* The menu also has the option to rename which you are told you cannot 
do, you truly cannot do, but the name appears to change anyway - leading 
to other errors

* When you empty the trash you are told you cannot undo this, but the 
undo option is still available in the menu; it leads to an error about 
not being able to rename files (why?)

I think that was pretty obvious from the screen casting SW used.... 

And Im yet to see any real problem that a VM would have created linked
to the bugs. ONly an idiot like sMarti would think so. VMs dont suddenly
stop confirmation dialogs, change trash permissions etc.

It was decent screencasting software - of course it was not running on
Linux. And I have noted this about a kazillion times. Not very good at
hiding it. :)

Exactly. He is just lost... does not understand even the basics of Linux.

An absolute disaster. And the KDE bug team has pretty much stopped even
commenting on looking at the bugs I submitted. They show no interest in
making things be better.

I identified 2 or 3, all related to input processing. Obviously most
functional stuff isn't affected by running on an hypervisor.

Seems there is some odd handling of mouse inputs or something. It is odd -
and I have thanked you for pointing them out.

You can simply change the font size in the terminal emulator menu:

Edit > Profile Preferences > General Tab

(see screenshot)

http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t382/ml2mst2/0xd00f.png

* Uncheck "Use the system fixed with font";
* click the "font" button;
* change it with the font/size you desire.

Non-problem solved!

I'll check out within a few minutes if I can do that on Windows 8 CMD and PowerShell as well. Let's see which of the two is the *real* crapware. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or Windows 8.1 update 1...

Kewl.

I was confused by the Unity slopware and didn't see the app menus on the 
taskbar (ridiculous, and copied from Mac) instead of on the app window 
where they belong.

Unity is extremely bogus - except for one cool feature: when you have 
multiple windows open related to an app, clicking the launcher icon will 
show all windows onscreen at once, sized proportionately.  Sort of like 
the Apple Expose` feature.

I can't stand Win8 myself, but Ubuntu in general (and especially with 
Unity) just looks and feels clunky and locked-down.  They've simplified 
the interfaces and menus to appeal to the lowest common denominator, and 
taken away the appeal of Linux: geek tinker-toy time!

Screenshot of PowerShell 2 on Windows 8.1 update 1:

On Ubuntu (or any other Linux distribution and Desktop Environment or 
Window Manager) you can at least resize the font permanently. On Windows 
you can only change the font size temporarily.

Trust me, I tried it over and over again.

Lighten up dude!

Then change the font size, jerkwad.

Unbelievable.

That's weird, you should be able to save the DOS console settings
individually for each "title" of window.  Don't tell me Microsoft broke that
"feature".

DumbFor$ure proving yet again he's a dumbass.

In my distro I can change the terminal to display any color I want, any
font I want & any size of font.
Settings > Configure Konsole.

Oh, dear.  The choice!  How do you decide what the "best font" is???
Some "committee" should narrow-down the choices for us!

According to the Ezekreep, it's "demonstratively false" that people
can "negotiate complexities" like restaurant menus!!!

Seriously!  You could not make this stuff up!

Creepy. Your'e a fucking idiot. There are oodles of studies
demonstrating this and none to disprove it. Its obvious to anyone with
half a brain (bad luck as you appear to have less) that TOO MANY
CHOICES/VARIABLES confuse people and make their chocies harder often
resulting in worse choices being made to "get it done".

We realise you're an idiot. Must you prove it with every creepy, suck up
post you make?

Indeed, the lunacy that trolls will spew, in their anti-freedom
zealotry, is absolutely *amazing*.  M$ shills like Kreep will
shamelessly spew *obvious* falsehoods, like the above.

It all goes back to supporting the Micro$oft Corp, of course.  People
really do not want choice, you know, and the desktop OS market
"proves" it.  Micro$oft didn't fsck-over consumers, denying them
choice - consumers "want" it like this.

Are we supposed to forget that the bazillion *other* product markets
in the world prove that people *do* really want choice?  They also
*prove* that any exceptions to the rule, like the desktop OS market,
are broken, non-functional markets that lack real consumer choice.
