Matt, I would really prefer not to use the screenlet, and I like my otherwise hidden toolbar panels.

Some people like sparse/clean. I am a multitasker. I have a lot of things going. I have a...

I have my toolbars (top and bottom) set to autohide to save screen real estate, but I need to have a clock so I always know what time it is (my clock widget keeps disappearing). There's actually tons...

I agree, and I think wordpress would be the simplest solution. If you want to turn her into a tech-head, use Drupal instead. :)

It also works in the forums. Cha-Cha!

Pasting into the text body field in Yahoo mail, gmail, Ubuntu Forums forms, or Zotero notes in firefox doesn't work whether I use ctrl-v or right click, paste. It does work when I paste in a subject...

I'd like to know the answer to this as well.

Thanks, that really helped reassure me that I'm getting an OK system.

I appreciate it!

So are integrated graphics bad?

Here's a link to the processor in the laptop I'm in the process of buying:

After some reco's on Ubuntu's IRC channel, I think I'm going to just do the 64bit install and see how that works. I'm relatively confident after reading posts regarding my model that I'm not going to...

So I just (impulsively) bought a Dell Studio 1558 with 6GB RAM and an arrandale i5-460M processor. As I'm a huge Ubuntu fanboy, I really need it to work with Ubuntu. Am I in trouble?

Do you think...

That got it!!! Thanks!!

Greetings!

I bought a USB sound card with two jacks, one for headphones and one for microphone. It was advertised as working with Linux without additional drivers, but when I plug it in with...

Ok, I figured out how to convert with a curve:


convert music1.pdf -function polynomial 1,0,0,0 music1C.pdf

This reads "Convert original file with a function, polynomial, with f(x) = 1*x^3 +...

After a bit of experimentation with the imagemagick tool convert, this gives a result in the right direction:


convert music1.pdf -contrast-stretch 2%x20% music1C.pdf

This command means to...

Thanks for this, Junapp, but can you suggest a curve approach? Or perhaps it's in the documentation? It looks like it would do all pages at the same time...

I saw this only after posting my first...

I've tried opening it with the Gimp, but it opens everypage in different screens, and i'll wind up with 40 or so screens. A batch approach would be great, I'd like to try imagemagick, but I'm no pro...

Greetings,

I have a pdf from my wife that is too light/gray. I would like to make it completely black where the gray is, and completely white where white is. Please recommend a utility or tool...

Thank you both, most helpful responses I've had all day!

I just need to know if there's a file management log, and where it's located.

No questions, please!

Aaron

Lisati, I definitely did a permanent delete. I shift deleted. I had a dialogue box. I clicked enter. It's gone. Is it an important file that took me hours to create? Is it a simple pdf I downloaded...

So do you always ask questions when you don't know the answer to a original post's question? It sort of implies that you do know, but that you need more information. But really, there's no nuance...

Oh, I suppose that's why it's called "permanently delete." But since you can't answer regarding a log, there's really no need for you to contribute here anymore. I'd just like to know how important...

If I knew for a fact I deleted a particular file, I wouldn't be asking for a log. The problem is that I deleted something with the GUI (and I know I deleted something because of the dialogue box that...

So I'm attempting to clean up my desktop, I see a highlighted file on my desktop I'm going to delete, I do shift delete, and enter (because there's a "this will permanently delete your file" message...

Great find, I was just on Tigerdirect, and couldn't find this. 500GB!?

So Gateway, though... what's their reputation? Decent for Ubuntu?
