Hi Martin,
Thanks for the tip! Defining the FREETYPE_PROPERTIES as you suggested
in /etc/environment did indeed disable hinting and renders the same
crisper fonts as was in earlier versions of Ubuntu. Personally, I still
prefer to disable hinting in the source code but your suggestion works
Hello jbicha,
I am not running Kubuntu but I am running KDE Plasma 5 and Qt apps on
several OpenSUSE installations. On my Ubuntu installation I am running
Gnome Shell. As an FYI, I maintain a freetype2 repository with subpixel
rendering enabled for OpenSUSE Leap and Tumbleweed. Like most of the
Adding the attached patch to the diff file will cause freetype-2.8 to
render fonts exactly like in earlier Ubuntu versions (such as
freetype-2.4.X, 2.5.X and 2.6.X).
** Patch added: "Patch to disable #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING"
In the first line of third paragraph of my prior post I meant to say
"(commented out)" instead of "(uncommented)" So, that line should read:
"This needs to be undefined (commented out) in order for freetype-2.7
and 2.8 to render fonts identically to prior versions of Ubuntu freetype
One of the primary differences in freetype-2.8 and prior Ubuntu versions
of freetype is the introduction of TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING in
/include/freetype/config/ftoption.h in freetype-2.7.X and later. The
default value is:
#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING 2
This needs to be
Hi Christopher Penalver,
I no longer use Ubuntu since I switched to OpenSUSE/KDE upon the
introduction of the Unity interface which I strongly dislike. However,
I will report that this same bug occurs in OpenSUSE 12.2 with the 3.4.11
kernel. Therefore, I am quite sure that this is an upstream
This is a compiz issue and can be solved with the Compiz Fusion Settings
Manger as follows:

and set the Focus Prevention Level to Off.

Just to clarify, Firefox is designated as my Web Browser in System
Preferences Prefered Applications. Secondly, in Firefox's
about:config, the parameter browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground is
already set to false. Also, I have run Firefox in safe mode and I have
uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox

Our celebration appears to have been premature. My SD card now appears
to work immediately after booting, however, it then will stop working at
some point thereafter. That is, with the 2.6.35-24 kernel, my
installation works properly for a couple of mounts following a reboot
but it then will
Yes!!! That's great news! Thanks for heads up George. I just updated to
2.6.35-24 and the SD card is indeed now working.

I could not get the SD card reader to work with this new kernel at all.
As I have previously stated, the card reader will work for a brief while

I am using SD cards and I actually do not own any xD cards. Sorry for
the confusion.
I am using the following kernel with which the SD cards sometimes works

I tried the 2010-11-09 kernel from here:

However, this new kernel does not solve the problem. The SD reader
continues not to work reliably.

Dell Precision M6300 SD Card Reader (Ricoh R5C592 memory stick) Will Not
I am running 64 bit Ubuntu 10.10 on a Dell PRecision M6300 with the
following SD card reader device:
03:01.2 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter
(rev 12)

I fixed this SD card reader problem by installing the current
development kernel:
linux-headers-2.6.37-999-generic_2.6.37-999.201011041120_amd64.deb
from the daily builds here:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2010-11-04-maverick/
Everything appears to be working perfectly.
It turns out that the Ricoh reader bug is not completely fixed yet.
That is, with the new kernel, the SD reader will work for about 5-10
minutes after you boot the computer and then it will stop working again.
So, while this situation is better, its not totally fixed yet.
