Evince not opening PDF
Hi Guys, I installed 12.04 on a friends laptop a few weeks ago and all's been going fine up until today when they downloaded and attempted to open a PDF from NSW Music Exams Board using Evince. Evince attempts to open and hangs while loading. I get the same result from my Laptop using 10.04, and have to force Evince to quit. Unfortunately, to rub salt into my wounds, this friend has contacted a Windows user, who downloaded, opened and printed the document in seconds. I've never had a problem ever opening PDF files on Ubuntu, and of all things it has to happen now with a new convert :( For reference the actual document in question can be downloaded here: http://www.ameb.nsw.edu.au/pdf_doc/prac-exam-enrolment-form-2012.pdf If anyone could possibly let me know what might be the issue here, that would be much appreciated.

Re: Evince not opening PDF
Hi Guys, Many thanks for everyones input on this one. I did have a little success in opening the document after installing Okular on my laptop with 10.04, however for some reason the quality was somewhat fairly poor. Overall though, I just wish this situation could have happened to me alone one hundred times beforehand than just this one single occasion with a Ubuntu newbie convert, of just a few weeks - and of all things the very first time they've attempted to download a PDF file on Ubuntu. Talk about Murphy's Law, and wash the car to make it rain . . . Anyway, I'll no doubt keep toying around with this and test other PDF viewers available. I'll let the list know if I have any major success with this, along with submitting a bug report on Lauchpad as suggested. Once again, many thanks for everyones prompt input, support and advice on this matter.

Softphone for 10.04LTS
Hi Guys, Any Pennytel subscribers out there tell me of the best Softphone, codedecs, and config etc, to install on 10.04LTS. My actual VoIP system is going to be out of order for a few days, while I'm doing some reno's, and thought the soft phone idea might be an option. Pennytel have their own from the members area, which work ok in Chrome (sadly crashes Fox), but hoping to install something so I can just make calls from desktop/Panel etc. Any advice much appreciated.

Re: Softphone for 10.04LTS
Well, how about that. I've finally found a reason to use Empathy :) All this time I thought it was just the Pidgin alternative. Never gave it a thought that it supported SIP. Anyway, installed the plugin from Synaptics, added the account details, and 5 minutes later I'm back on the phone making calls. All too good! Many thanks for that, Dave.

Hi Guys, Who's ever responsible (I'm assuming they're on the List). Many thanks for the Stickers! They finally arrived here in yesterdays post, after requesting them some time ago. So, many thanks. There's now several smiling Ubuntu faces around here, with their 'Powered by Ubuntu' stickers.

Re: Ubuntu One
I think it's the best thing since sliced bread. For me, I treat usb drives like sun glasses. I either loose them, or somehow break them.

Help with Graphics Problem on New Machine using Koala
Hi Guy's, I did post this to the main forums, but been a bit light on replies. So thought I'd just pass it bye the list, hoping to get a bit of advice, if possible, from the smart, good-looking and intelligent Ubuntu users here. :) I have just purchased a new machine with an ASUS P5KPL-AM/PS motherboard and installed Koala 9.10 amd64. The Alt ISO image installed fine, and everything seems Ok except my graphics resolution, which has the only single option of 800 x 600. There is a longer version to my story, but to cut it short; I purchased the machine off Ebay, advertised as having a Nvidia Geforce 7050 VGA inside, which is, according to my research, Ubuntu happy. It didn't (have the Nvidia GeForce), and surprisingly the seller has all but left for Brazil. Talk about Caveat Emptor, and that which is said of deals too good to be true. Guess I'll never learn. Anyway, should I just bite the bullet on this and just purchase a compatible graphics board, or is there another solution? Any advice or suggestions on this would be very much appreciated.

Re: Help with Graphics Problem on New Machine using Koala
Thanks for the reply, Guys. Sorry about the lack of info in my initial post. Opening a terminal and doing lspci | grep VGA gives me the folowing: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 10) Now, I'm a little green on this, but if there was a Nvidia Geforce installed would there not be some sort of reference to it here (terminal output), proving it's existence? And adding to this, when I took delivery of the machine, the first thing I did was to go to the Nvidia site, and downloaded: NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2.run believing the Nvidia Geforce was supplied as advertised. I got to the point of running the install after doing the chmod +x and then running, and so forth but, unsurprisingly received: WARNING: You do not appear to have an NVIDIA GPU supported by the 185.18.36 NVIDIA Linux graphics driver installed in this system. I think from the feedback on this, my crystal ball is telling me to save the stress and just buy a compatible card. I think most Nvidia cards are pretty safe, aren't they? I'm not hoping to do anything special. It's just getting a bit frustrating when doing things like browsing in Fox and you have to scroll like eighteen meters to the right to read the whole page (a little exaggerated, but you get my point).

Re: Bluefish text editor question
G'day Geoffrey, I mostly use gedit in highlighting mode , and sometimes nano (pico), so I can't really help you with Bluefish. However, just adding to what other's have mentioned, which may be of value to you, if you are a Firefox user there are some excellent add-ons that you can easily install in FF to make your designing experience a whole lot more easier. Two in particular are: - Web Developer: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60 - Measureit: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/539 Developer comes with a whole heap of goodies and is great for debugging, detecting cross/post (quirks) browser compatibility, has inbuilt editors for (x)html/css, and many other 'can't live without' features. Measureit is appropriately titled, as it measures in pixels (height width) anything inside the viewpoint. See the above links for more info on both these add-ons. Both can be installed directly from FF: Tools Add-ons and then search for the add-on accordingly. Also for some inspiration on what can be accomplished using CSS based design checkout: http://www.csszengarden.com/ Hope this helps and best of luck.

The Bluefish manual, however, does not discuss the coding (tags, etc.), presuming this to be already known. As a beginner I don't know, but this hasn't been a problem because my text book teaches me. I have found in Bluefish by trial all tags mentioned so far in the teaching aid. However there are some curiosities. For example the teaching aid use a p tag for paragraph, which is to found on Bluefish toolbar. However there is in Bluefish another paragraph tag called para. By trial it works equally well for paragraphing. Is there a difference between p and para tags? My question of members is: Is there a (text) reference for tags that I could read and be better informed?

Re: Pt2 - Mobile Broadband for 9.04
Many thanks, Dave. Unfortunately, mate, no cigar. I carried out everything as per your instructions and nothing further has evolved from attempting to get connected on 9.04. However, for what it was worth, I had a spare lappy that I usually trial stuff on (been trying out Kubuntu 9.04 - how cool is KDE? ). So I thought, what the hec and ran-up Ubuntu 8.10 to see if that did anything. Following your instructions again, this time it did go a step further after adding Vodafone in Network Manager by alerting me with the following message from My Disc: This medium contains software intended to be automatically started. Would you like to run it? . . . etc Then does nothing more and drops the My Disc icon on the Desktop. When opened it gave me 3 obviously expected files to look at (all of which will do very little in my situation): autorun.inf, helper.exe, and the Vodafone Connect app' - setup_vms_lite.exe. All in all, I think I must pick USB modems like I pick horses - they end up costing me money. :-) So, I really don't think we can go any further on this one. Many thanks and 10/10, from the list, for all the assistance on this (and the beer shop url, Dave). A beer and Ubuntu night? I like that idea. :-) Cheers Guys, and have a great day. Righto, . . . .I'm off to the Three Shop! Regards, Rob PS: Just so you know, I also tried running it under WINE on Ubuntu 9.04 (no, didn't think it'd work to start with but gave it a go anyway) and on Kubuntu 9.04 before I toasted it and ran it back to 8.10.

I have some experience with a few 3g usb modems working for telstra and some will work out of the box and some need new drivers sometimes the drivers are not available yet. For instance it took sierra wireless about 2 months between releasing their 306 21mbps modem and them releasing linux drivers. Another trick is if you have one of these fancy modems that have windows software loaded on the device you will probably need to eject the internal memory on the device before it will function as a modem. Unfortunately I haven't come across any company telco or manufacturer that officially supports linux. That way they can get out of training staff to assist with technical support. However most have unofficial support such as sierra wireless writes drivers and zte help users on there forum.

However, every couple of times I login and access the user control panel, Fire Fox seems to take a dive, goes grey and gives me that Not Responding message. Therefore, would this have something to do with trying to access .jsp pages, as this site is published in, or could it be something else, such as a certificate error, or something along those lines? I swept the cobwebs out of an old XP machine, I had floating around, and tested this site using both IE and FF extensively with no issues at all. So, I'm now guessing that the problem lies between FF and Ubuntu 9.04 that I'm running. Could it be that I need to install additional files to run .jsp/ java stuff etc? Anyway, any advise is much appreciated.
