On recent versions of Ubuntu prior to 21.10 your virtual desktops stacked "vertically", down from the primary desktop.
Especially if you run dual monitors this made intuitive visual sense. You had...
Note that dist-upgrading from 19.04 to the shiny new 19.10 appears to have fixed my printer<->Ubuntu connection with no further fiddling.
Upgraded, restarted, decided to hit print on something,...
Hi all,
I've got a slightly older Samsung C410W colour laser printer that has been working well with Ubuntu for years up until I upgraded in place from 18.09 to 19.04.
Now no matter what, any...
Hi all,
Does anyone have any advice for getting a Samsung SL-C410W colour laser printer actually working in a brand-new Ubuntu 17.10 (64bit) install?
I've downloaded and run the Samsung "Print...
Read the documentation? I used to write the stuff, nobody reads it. I kid, I kid, but seriously, this stuff used to be far more discoverable than recent versions of Ubuntu have made it... vertically...
Highly unimpressed that multiple desktops appear to have vanished entirely in 17.10. I recall they had to be enabled in previous versions with a single click somewhere, but that option appears to...
Neat tutorials, saved for future reference!
I'm really quite tempted by this little thing. The price would fit into my student budget, and it'd be nice to have at work/school - files on USB keys, and re-synch with my desktop in the evenings.

I don't think Inkscape supports any sort of table layout.
You can use the Align & Distrubute Tool & the Grid Tool to line up text areas and such to "fake" tables, but that's about it.
Where's the poll options for "I've never used CS3, don't need it, and don't really mind if Adobe never gets around to making Linux versions of their stuff"?
Where do people get the idea that...
gThumb can do this.

I know zip about digital cameras - I've been a film user until a few weeks ago, when I bought a nice little Canon digicam, one of their ultracompact pocket ones.
I've been quite impressed; it's...
An attempt to drag this, kicking and screaming, back on-topic... my 'Top 10 Things Ubuntu Doesn't Come With By Default':
1. Opera. (Nonfree, I know, but I've been using it before Firefox even...
The 'naked people' are still in the Ubuntu repositories - check for "ubuntu-calendar" packages via Synaptic.
They're hardly explicit in any way, but I'd guess we won't see their like again - not...
There's an excellent online book for Inkscape: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/
Inkscape also has good internal help - go Help->Tutorials in Inkscape.
Enjoy - Inkscape has become one of my...
There are tonnes of free good-quality fonts on the web; the problem I find isn't lack of fonts, but too many of the things!
I especially like Dafont, which is well organized, easy to search, and...
The official word from Ubuntu is here: http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/TrademarkPolicy/
There are official logos & related artworks available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official
Just for future reference, Inkscape's own tutorials files are excellent - and written in SVG, so you can dissect them to see how things are done! They're at Help->Tutorials inside Inkscape.
Also,...
I like dafont.com - http://www.dafont.com/ - lots of good fonts, many of them very good.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto has most of the information you need.
Short version: drop everything in ~/.fonts.
To get the two fonts you need out of XP, I suspect you will...
I've seen the "Firefox crop circle" photos before, but hadn't realized there was a Mozilla bug report associated - cool. :)
The Ubuntu logo would work as a crop circle too... hint hint!
As for...
Learn to handcode, then use either Bluefish, Screem or even just Ubuntu's default text editor, gEdit, to code up HTML & CSS.
You get far cleaner (therefore faster, and easier to modify later) code...
Given that the originals of these images are in SVG, it's easy enough to swap colours around, so a brown design on a tan t-shirt is possible, if Jenda can arrange the t-shirt colour. (Doing just one...
I'll do a proper SVG & PNG inverted-colour version in the next few days - it would save a lot of ink.
A larger (say 150dpi or 300dpi) PNG is also easy to produce; of course, you can also use the...
