Re: screen resolution
Hello Gordon, David and list members, Something went awry with the list messages this morning. I did not post anything about resolution difficulties. That was David. I have been trying to help him and suggested in the first instance exactly what you had proposed, Gordon. Unfortunately, the way Google mail is set up it is easy to press the reply button and you end up off-list and that is what happened in this instance. David has not yet resolved his display difficulties. The nvidia-glx-new file had not been installed. That has been rectified. There are still no choices to change resolution. David, try sudo displayconfig-gtkand see if you can change resolution in that screenand can you tell me which kernel you are booting from type uname -r If anyone else has any ideas, please join in.

You don't want to be changing your resolution - LCD monitors have a 'native' resolution at which everything looks best. To change your typeface size in Firefox, click the Edit menu, then Preferences. In the Content tab, you'll see 'Fonts Colours'. If you click Advanced, you'll get even more control. Some Web pages hard-code their fonts (for shame!), overriding the settings you give to Firefox. To work around this, you can untick the 'Allow pages to choose their fonts' option. GNOME and KDE have their own fonts settings, which you can find in their respective configuration menus. -- Microsoft was the first company in 50 years of EU competition policy that the commission has had to fine for failure to comply with an antitrust decision. - Neelie Kroes, EU Competition Commissioner, 2008-02-28 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

eee pc wireless died after latest update
Hi Guys Just did the latest upgrade on my epc and lost wireless capability. Worked fine in gutsy before the update though. I was using the ndiswrapper. Just checked to see if a new kernel has been installed and it has, i.e. 2.6.22.15. Works fine when booting into previous kernel so my Q is does anyone know how to get the eee pc's wifi going in the new kernel using ndiswrapper or do I need to look at the mad wifi drivers?

Re: screen resolution
David, I have had a look at various lists, forums, etc to find information for you. The general advice is to install the following files (1) build-essential, (2) linux-headers-2.6.24-19, (3) kernel package as well as Linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-19-generic. Some or all of these files you may already have installed. It seems to me that something either was not downloaded or not configured. Another suggestion was to use envyng-gtk which you will find in the repositories. That will identify what driver you need and remove old files and configure the driver.

How can I edit the text of a PDF file without having the source file of it?
Hello Ubuntu-Australia ppl,
{ I apologize for waffling on (below) however I figured that I was best for
me to supply too much info rather than not enough. }
I have a PDF file (eg an Adobe Portable Document Format) file which I
authored quite a long time ago... back when I was using M$ Windows XP Home
Edition as my Operating System. I now wish to edit the PDF file, however I
don't know where the source document is, or whether I even HAVE the source
file. From memory, the file was written using Micro$oft Word, and probably
printed with PDF995 (M$ Windows print driver which creates PDF documents). [
eg PDF995 is available from the website www.pdf995.com ]
The file is called piffle_forever.pdf and is 16 A4 pages in length and
also contains embedded colour images. I want to keep all of the formatting
and images etc. However what I do want to do is change the text of a URL on
page 5 of the book, to reflect that the Piffle Page Url is different to
that currently in the document.
I attempted to open the pdf file with Scribus 1.3.3.11 however I get the
following error message:
FATAL ERROR
The /home/user/Desktop/piffle_forever.pdf is not in an acceptable format.
[OK] { button }
The Fatal Error message appears to be a Scribus error message and not a
Ubuntu error.
If you ( anyone ) would like to try to change this PDF or attempt to edit
it, I will tell you where you can download is from:
Some of the text on page 5 of the document is as follows:
Piffle the Cat first published in Dreaming of Dreaming,
by Peter E. Williams, 1999.
The Piffle webpage is http://members.fortunecity.com/pew/piffle.html
e.g I want the last line (above) to read:
The Piffle webpage is http://pewtas.googlepages.com/thepifflepage
I you go to http://pewtas.googlepages.com/thepifflepage and go to the bottom
of the page, you will see a HTML table with 2 columns. In the left-hand
column is the URL for the document:
piffle_forever.pdf http://pewtas.googlepages.com/piffle_forever.pdf ---
this is the PDF document which I am referring to.
Download the *PIFFLE FOREVER* Book in PDF format (Adobe Portable Document
Format).and in the right-hand column is the File Size: 830 Kilobytes
---
To summarize, can someone please help me to change the text in my PDF
document. Note that I have the PDF file but not the source M$ Word file used
to create it. Also, I no longer use M$ Windows XP Home Editon OS... My
system is purely Hardy Heron OS.
I look forward to replies.
