Re: [ubuntu-in] Editing boot up options
by the way, I forgot to mention, you also need to do update-grub after that. Here is a link, much more organized (than my email) and with the solutions generally used for ubuntu, they will most likely work for ultimate as well. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/7197 - Nandan On Wed, Dec 16, 2009 at 8:43 AM, Nandan Marathe wrote: > does removing -quiet -splash in the boot options in /boot/grub/menu.lst > work?

Re: [ubuntu-in] Editing boot up options
does removing -quiet -splash in the boot options in /boot/grub/menu.lst work? I dont have ultimate myself, but that is generally the way to get rid of the splash boot.

[ubuntu-in] Editing boot up options
Hi I have Ultimate (Ubuntu) 2.5 installed. However need to make a few changes 1. While booting up Ultimate shows me a Splash SCreen rather than the various lines that show up while booting, so how to re-enable that. Alt F1 works but would rather have it by default. thanks ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

I was always able to work flash in Ubuntu by the following: (From most effective to least) 1: Remove any flash plugin and go to a website with flash with firefox. When prompted for missing plugins, install from there. 2: sudo apt-get flashplugin-nonfree 3: Ubuntu Software Center / Add remove programs : Adobe Flash 10 The first method never failed me. Luckily.

Re: [ubuntu-in] Slide show maker for ubuntu
for slide show with/without animations, you can take a look at latex with its beamer extensions. The installations also come with custom examples with themes, which you can use directly. It allows for excellent presentations. kile is an excellent kde based editor for latex which can help fast generation and layout with your presentations. This is of-course besides the regular open office suites which you can readily find out of the box.

[ubuntu-in] web-GUI, wire-framing, Rich Internet Application (RIA) free tool
dear all, been searching sourceforge and search-engines for a muft and mukt tool that allows non-techie designers to quickly conceptualize, prototype, wire-frame, and visually scribble interface-designs for web applications, web-engines, GUIs, and more. am *not* looking for html tools like Quanta, NVu, BlueFish, etc. did find a freeware, web-hosted solution that does the job pretty well, but may later make me pay for the addiction: hotgloo: http://hello.hotgloo.com/ must say hotgloo rocks. currently, am using inkscape+GIMP, but it's way too manual in both authoring, editing, and prototyping. thanks in advance. regards niyam bhushan -- niyam bhushan -- niyam bhushan -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Hi, I use DownloadHelper firefox plugin, (but I do need flash installed) to download the flash file and then Totem plays it just fine.
