Marked solved. The info was there, as suggested above. However, the file wasn't as useful as I thought it might be. I'm going to try something called "checkinstall" to see if it's more useul. I'm...

The result from gparted is possibly right.

It is not the case that sda2 = sda5, however.

My guess is that in the past, you did the following: sda1 is your Ubuntu partition. sda2 is the...

I'm using 12.10 QQ 32-bit, but this question probably applies to all distros:

I can use dpkg -l to get a list of all installed packages. Presumably, dpkg merely reads an existing file buried...

Ubuntu (and some other Linux distros) now has color management capability. This is important to those who wish to print color pictures.

The general topic of color management is discussed on many...

Since forum threads last a long time, and can be found by search engine from outside, I thought it would be useful to update this post.

My question pertained to a laptop that came with Windows XP....

Calibration would not be the problem. Although my specific laptop was not calibrated, I have two calibrated *.icc files from others with the same model and production time; those two profiles are...

I understand color management reasonably well for a non-professional. I use it both on Windows XP and Ubuntu 12.10 (current development) with GIMP and other graphics programs. That's not the problem....

Thanks. That did it.

About a week ago, I compiled a program (not part of the distro) and installed it. No problem, but I didn't like the program, so I removed it.

Now I see that it has left behind a context menu item....

I should have done this earlier...

A few posts back, it was noted that softproofing (also known as color proof) was showing large areas of out-of-gamut, depending on the profile used.

I have a...

Don't forget that there are also grades of ink. The price of color ink cartridges that are specifically intended for high-end photo printing cost MUCH more than the generic stuff. However, as you...

Inkjet paper definitely DOES make a big difference. In fact, there are manufacturers that specialize in paper for image-quality color inkjet prints. These are places that do not have famous names...

In my version of GIMP (which you may not have, because I compiled a development version), the softproofing is in Edit > Preferences > color management.

No matter what you are using for color...

Yes. It can be done. My own camera is a Canon S100, and I save in raw (*.CR2) format. But I wish to give a long explanation, to avoid confusion:

First, understand that I am in Ubuntu 12.10...

Compiling is not for beginners. :guitar:

Normally, you do not need to worry about "warnings" during make. Many, maybe all, of those messages merely indicate that something is unexpected but not...

If boot shows only text, it usually means that there is something wrong with your graphics driver. There is no possibility of providing a complete GUI without a graphics driver. However, you may be...

I re-read the original post. Ah, I see a potential problem:

Darktable works in high bit depth. That is, the color information is processed with more than 8 bits per channel. The file you save...

Has anyone successfully compiled cinepaint lately? Then, have you been able to use it, especially with TIFF (or PNG) single-image files?

I tried compiling the "latest" version (from earlier this...

That is a complicated question. As you expect, it is necessary to have a color management file (*.icc or *.icm) for your printer.

You didn't say what kind of printer it was, but I assume it is an...

Thanks. I'll try that. I was afriad to use grep (or anything like it) because I didn't actually want to replace any text directly, just find the files.

Incidentally: Since I first posted my...

Not a newbie, not a problem. Just a question:

Sometimes, I compile source code written by other people (I am not a programmer). Once in a while, I need to hunt through the source code so that I...

@ventrical: Keep in mind that many of the listed files and folders are actually hard or symbolic links to others. Then there's the permissions thing.

This is a request for a feature that, I believe, would be very simple to do. Perhaps it can already be done by users who know how to write a good shell script, but I would like to see this as a...

Thanks for your advice, traditionalist. Knowing that indeed both digiKam and Gimp could coexist on Ubuntu 12.04, I looked in detail.

I also have Gimp 2.8. But I also managed to compile Gimp 2.9.1,...

After installing the fallback, you must log out (or reboot) then log back in, for it to take effect. When you get to Ubuntu's login screen, look just above at to the right of where you enter your...
