Since the comment on the other thread mentioned flash, I thought it might be worth uninstalling your Flash and seeing if Firefox started working.

sudo aptitude remove flashplugin-nonfree

Try...

Hmm, nothing does exactly what you want. However:

pdftohtml will convert to html. You can then open the html file in Openoffice and save as .doc.

So to take my demo1.pdf, you would first...

I'm afraid I have heard of no such program for Linux. Sorry.

You might be able to piece this together. Google Image search can provide the images, but you can't use DownThemAll directly with it,...

Edit: Whoops, double post.

If you do decide to change your xorg.conf, there is a not-too-hard way to rescue the system.

You can try it now. Ctrl-Alt-F7 is your graphical session, and Ctrl-Alt-F1 is a "Virtual Console". If...

If that doesn't work, the other thread talked about flash problems. To find out what flash stuff you have installed, run
aptitude search flash and paste the output here, please.

Maybe some of your packages aren't properly installed. Try

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo aptitude install -f
The first command will fully install any packages that may have not been properly...

Funny... I got a pdf from the pdftohtml website (http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/demo1/demo1.pdf) and converted it using the -c option:

khedron@wyenet:/var/www/pdf $ ls
demo1.pdf...

man flex and man bison should help you out.

What commands are you using? Paste it within [code] blocks so its easier to read, please.

What you should do is get the installation CD. When you use it, it runs Ubuntu off the CD before you install, so you can see whether it works.

Check:
-internet
-sound
-your monitor resolution...

What probably happened is that the server couldn't find the file you wanted, so gave you an html page instead explaining the error. The problem with wget is that it doesn't read html! So you just put...

Try removing that file:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

If you just want to run a few programs off the server, you can use Putty's built-in X11 forwarding instead of bothering with VNC - just install Cygwin and its X11 packages and start an X server...

Seems a bit too general to me, could end up deleting a bit too much...

What config are you trying, the GNOME config? Or the KDE config, kcontrol?

If your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is OK, I think you could look into the nomtrr option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to disable mtrr completely in X. That might help.

For me Windows had too strong a drag - I played games too much on it.

I got my Unix fix by installing Cygwin on the Windows box, and also getting Putty so that I can ssh into my Linux server....

For a list of what's supported and what isn't, you can look at that link you just gave:

I don't have a standalone scanner. However, I do have an HP...

As far as I know there is nothing that does exactly what this program does. (But I haven't used the program, so I don't know how much it does anyway.) However:

There's an extension for Firefox...

On Windows you normally can get onto the Safe Mode selection menu by pressing F8 when Windows just starts to boot. So:

1. Start up the computer.
2. Select Windows in the GRUB menu.
3. Press...

Not that I can see. You are generally looking for obvious stuff, like error messages. Are there any things that you can do to cause it to freeze, or to be more likely to freeze?

It might also be a...

Ah, ok, so try an older kernel version. Do this:

sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lstChange the line specifying the default number.

This number is the position of the option you want, minus one.
E.g....

Maybe look at sparse files? These automatically compress regions that contain all 0s. To be honest I haven't fiddled around with anything like that, so I'm not sure exactly how it works. Maybe you...

Hmm, I'm running a cron job on root and it's fine. But I have a password set for root.

Maybe try setting a password for root and seeing if that's the problem? You can always remove the password...

I'm against this idea. Virus scanners are weak in that they only search for known viruses. Heuristic scanners try to solve this by being more general in what they look for, but they can still easily...
