I would like to use Duplicity to backup to a drive on a windows share.

I have tried to do this backup using Deja Dup, however it fails. Although Deja Dup claims it has completed a backup...

How did I reach that conclusion?

1. The problem appears in three different PDF reader programs that run under Linux.

2. The problem appears in two different PDFs, which are widely distributed...

I will keep looking for more examples that I can legally post.

Well, thanks, that's certainly a workaround. What I'm really looking for is a way to fix the problem, or at least report a bug. Not sure where to go since it seems to affect several packages. Also...

Adobe isn't available anymore in Linux, if I am not mistaken. Is this yet another Linux limitation driving me back to Windows?

Well all of a sudden I cannot open a valid PDF file.

I am trying to read a PDf that was published in 2013. It is a 680 page copyrighted book, which I cannot post here because it is copyrighted...

I searched in these forums for a solution, but could not identify anything that seemed relevant. There is a thread here that seems relevant, but I've had little luck in following the advice found...

I made the plunge several years ago and don't regret it. Chrome runs fine under Linux. There are other PDF tools that work, perhaps better, than adobe products, GIMP is all I every needed for...

Thanks for the help folks. I did get to the bottom of this issue using some of the commands mentioned above. I finally decided it was time to upgrade anyway, and did a fresh install of Ubuntu on a...

Microsoft proprietary RAID doesn't work in Linux - YOU HEARD IT HERE FOLKS! I wish someone had told me this 4 years ago when I was trying to make it work.

Don't understand why it was difficult...

"Serious" RAID cards cost about $100 or more. The ones that use SAS are well-supported in the Linux kernel. I wouldn't choose any other hardware RAID option on a server.

Perhaps so, siejisensei,...

I'm using a Logitech M705 mouse in a CAD application, and it has an annoying issue. In Bricscad (really good ACAD clone by the way) one needs to press the scroll button to pan. This is common to...

A lot of silence here - nobody wants to weigh in?. I had absolutely no luck with software RAID - endless frustration. Hardware RAID was cheap and was a snap. That's what I'd go with.

OK, I am sorry I can't help with your specific question - because you are doing it the hard way! RAID cards are cheap now -$20 - just buy one, plug it in, and you are done. (May need to configure...

Yep, ditto all that stuff, I've got offsite backups and so on. BUT I don't agree that RAID is overkill, for my needs ( I run a business on my computer and I need that data to be reliable).

I'm...

Forget about all the documentation you will read here about RAID. Raid is easy. You don't have to do it during Ubuntu install. You don't need a bunch of obscure settings. Heck you don't even need...

Epson WF7520 printer - possibly WF 7540 and other printers by Epson that are capable of 11X17
ANY Linux version - this is a generic problem with Epson Linux printer drivers

Epson has written a...

I have been getting messages recently that I am out of disk space, less than 1 GB left. However, when I investigate this issue, System Monitor reports that I have three drives, the first (where I am...

Issues and crashes with another application (bricscad) led them to recommend using a different Nvidia driver. After Sudo apt-get install nvidia-current and a reboot I am now on Nvidia driver 304...

Here is what I don't like:

Unity Desktop. I am a Gnome desktop guy, glad that I have the option. I find it is easier to navigate.
WINE. Never had any program successfully run under Wine. ...

Just upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04. Having some annoying and also entertaining video problems.

The screen flashes frequently whenever a window is changing or updating, say when I load a new webpage...

FSTAB! OK, now the light is going on. I'll look into that and get back to you folks when next my brain becomes fuddled. Won't be long.

Well, not too much interest in this problem apparently. Just me and the crickets here. Just for grins I am posting the ppd file hack, at least a shortened version of it. From what little I know of...

I'm about a step away from having a convenient hack, but can't quite wrap my brain around the right steps. This will be easy for someone who knows his or her stuff.

OK, I have a second hard...

Well, finding another source of information here that claims to have printer drivers for this printer. Following up, will report soon.

Nah, same noise, no option to print 11X17 or tabloid, chokes...
