[newbie] copying slides from PDF
Hi, could anyone tell me how to copy-paste entire slides/graphics from PDF to other documents, e.g. OpenOffice Writer? I`ve got Adobe, KPDF, XPDF and GhostView installed. When using the icon to select an entire slide in Adobe and selecting copy, I get the following message: There was an error while copying to the clipboard. Segmentation violation caught. I`d be grateful for suggestions. Kat Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
Re: [newbie] How to fix linmodem for 2.6 kernel

However I'd appreciate it anyone out there can answer this one. I have an internal linmodem (Intel v92ham) which I have installed sucessfully under several different linux releases using various 2.4 kernels including this one (slackware 9.1 with 2.4.22 kernel) But all attempts to run this modem with a 2.6 kernel seem doomed to failure. First the script only allows compilation with 2.4 kernels and second I think that 2.6 requires the resulting modules to be of type .ko. So, can I compile my old sources under 2.6 and convert them to .ko somehow? Can I get new sources compatible with 2.6? Do I buy a new modem? New system is mandrake 10 (from linux format magazine) with 2.6.3 kernel K7S5A board with athlon 2000 256 MB memory (onboard sound), GEForce FX5200, Dell 18 LCD And it all works a treat, except for that dratted modem Oh, and the scanner - but that's another story Best Regards Harry Anderson I have the same modem, which worked fine under Mandrake 8.2 but doesn` t under 10.0. I posted to the linmodem list, and have copied the essential parts of the thread below. Unfortunately, it doesn` t look very promising... I` m using an external modem now. I`d be pleased to be informed if anyone finds a better solution. Kat Peter, kernel compilation will NOT help!! Winmodem code comes with a pre-compiled component, that is NOT being updated. The HaM chipests will NEVER be functional under Linux 2.6.3 code MarvS Many thanks for letting me know. I`ll get by using an external modem until I learn kernel compilation then.

(everything is about the 537 softmodem now) -dorian Kat, Sadly as expected below -- The 453 code release is also the last for this older chipset (relates Intel maintainer Dorian Araneda). Thus HaM code failures can be expected under the emerging 2.6.nn kernels. - From our experience with the Lucent DSP modem code, it is a LOT of expect work in even the Open Source code component to achieve a 2.4 - 2.6 migration I am copying to Dorian Araneda, should he have any further information. You will need a 2.6.n supported modem chipset. ModemData.txt.2 relates the current options. Condolences, MarvS Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
