Re: [ubuntu-uk] OT Linux based anti virus cds
I have downloaded and used proprietory anti virus from well known AV companies, e.g. Avira. It was based on linux but was not customisable and intended to disinfect Windows PCs.

I would assume cd's being read only makes them more immune from the type of virius that may try and infect a flash drive type device that are generally read / write. Basically looking for something like the system rescue cd, but for anti virus. This may benefit others here too, esp those with friends who use Windows but also complain of getting viruses.

Re: cannot run Adobe Reader
I use Adobe Reader for its booklet printing ability. I have not found a FOSS pdf reader that can do that.

Re: cannot run Adobe Reader
Booklet printing is where you can print a document of several pages long, but each page is reduced to fit on half the sheet, and all in the correct order so that when printed the whole lot can be stapled and folded to form a booklet, albeit smaller than the original document. Currently I now have to go into Windows, via Virtualbox to do this. I realise Ubuntu developers cannot fix Adobe Reader, but it seems to rely on libxml2, which is part of Linux, and the error message suggests that's where the problem lies, as it used to work previously before one of the updates I did in Ubuntu Studio.

I would contact adobe for support of the adobe products. I would be glad to help track down booklet printing if you'd elaborate as to what that is. Also, in the interest of casting a wider support query, you might seek help in the main ubuntu avenues as this issue is not ubuntustudio specific. Cheers.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu not booting up
I should also add that the hard disk is still quite new. -Original Message- From: David King linux...@avoura.com To: UK Ubuntu Talk ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com Sent: Tue, 20 Nov 2012 11:30 Subject: Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu not booting up On 19/11/12 10:31, Simon Greenwood wrote: On 19 November 2012 10:22, David King linux...@avoura.com mailto:linux...@avoura.com wrote: I am using Ubuntu Studio 12.04 and all was well until today, now I can no longer boot into it. I get some text on the screen but it does not get as far as letting me log in. First it was some messages about not being able to touch some files in my home directory due to read only file system. I did a hard reboot (keyboard was unresponsive) and then next time I tried to boot there were various other messages. I had to hard reboot again and boot into a different distro. What could be wrong with it? The first issue suggests that you might have a problem with your disk but we need more information Is the other distro working? Can you see the Ubuntu Studio partition from the other distro? How is your machine configured? s/ -- Twitter: @sfgreenwood TBA are particularly glib I can boot into Linux Mint from the same hard disk (using it now). I can see the Ubuntu Studio partition okay, it is not corrupted. I also did a filesystem check and that did not turn up any errors.
