As not all books have an ISBN-number and as I have quite a lot of older books, using the ISBN-number would only resolve part of my problem.
I should maybe have mentioned that a lot of my books are...

I have several hundred books on my bookshelves. I'd like to inventory these and input the books in my library software (Zotero).
I'd like to have the scanner software at least be able to distinguish...

You'd better absolutely NOT put files manually in the /opt directory. Better is to make a directory in your own home-directory (e.g. \David\Zotero).

I've done so.

That being said,...

Okay, I know. But what I would like is to have a queryable map where one could, for instance, find all places where the average november temperature is between 15°Celsius and 18°Celsius. And that I...

It is possible to find load of climatological information on all sorts of countries and cities, but ...

... what I'd like to find: given a certain temperature wanted, an amount of rainfall wanted,...

I found two kinds of workaround.
1 - One can use a conditional style that has "level number of node" in it. This way one can make e.g. heading 5 nodes in bold, heading 6 italic etc.
2 - Export the...

Thanks. I did this, but (as you may also have noticed) the heading levels are not automatically applied when entering nodes "deeper" than level 4. I suppose that is because Freeplane considers "your"...

Freeplane (a very good mind mapping program) comes with 5 header levels: title, heading1, heading2, heading3 and heading4. This is very handy when exporting a mindmap to a word processor like LO...

Any other suggestions?
To give an example, look at ...

I think here the hand drawing is actually a real hand. But on the other hand -- no pun intended...

I'm afraid that's not what I meant. I mean: having an animated "cursor" (looking like a hand holding a pen) drawing text (or a line drawing) during a presentation, as if I was drawing on a school...

What program should I use (or which addon in e.g. Impress) to have a photograph of a hand "write" words or characters on a slide? Or even draw lines I've previously entered.
I'd like to use this to...

It indeed seems something went wrong with the tweaks. I must say, though, that I didn't really make many tweaks, but I think that at a certain stage I may have deleted too much when trying to...

I use Gnome ... but ...

I've discovered in the meanwhile that there was (or still is?) something wrong with gnome.

It started when I first discovered that, though Writer, Calc, Impress and Base...

After a while (several minutes) I am no longer able to use the menus in LO. Nothing special was done by me, nor did any "interfering" process start or end to run when the menus are no longer...

I have the same problem (LO 3.6.2 in Ubuntu 12.10).

Oddly, I found that, clicking "default" in MyUnity > themes, reinstalls the icons of all programs. So it must have something to do with the AgingGorilla theme I set.
So in a way this issue is...

I found that, after having installed compiz-config, some (but not all) program starter icons are missing, i.e. are replaced with a blank. If I hover over them, their names appear, though, so I can...

In 12.04 Gimp has version 2.6. I however want to install 2.8. As I understand this necessitates the installation via a PPA.
However, on many forum threads, I read warnings not to install programs...

I've stumbled upon the so-called pgf-format in a Digikam-related website. According to the makers of this format, it ought to be better than jpg.

Your experiences?

In my case (and having read it somewhere else on the internet) it has something to do with the OpenOffice Quickstarter. If I shut this down AND AFTERWARDS shut down Ubuntu 10.04, no problem: the...

I've recently hooked an Iomega 500 Gb hard disk (USB) to my Ubuntu computer. This HDD is NTFS-formatted.

(By the way: Ubuntu did NOT recognize this device automatically, so I had to manually mount...

Not recognised by Ubuntu 8.10: Iomega external hard disk on usb drive (Iomega Prestige 500 Gbyte).
It CAN be mounted, but only using fstab-adjustments (see elsewhere on this forum).

I've been working with Access for about 15 years now (on Windows). At home and since about 4 years, I've been exclusively working with Ubuntu.
I _HAD_ some databases, "written" in MS Access, that...

Thanks for this very informative posting. I installed OOo 2.2 on my Ubuntu Dapper Drake (6.06) and it worked perfectly. Even the spelling checker -- I use Dutch -- worked perfectly. F.y.i. I already...
