I had mixed results when using Uniconverter, although it was quite a while ago now.

[ubuntu-uk] Opening CorelDraw CDR Files
I've got a couple of CDR files that I want to convert to SVG for use in inkscape. Does anyone know how I might go about doing that without having either CorelDraw or windows available?

[ubuntu-uk] GNOME panel set /not/ to always be on top
If folks will forgive me posting a question here that I'm also asking on the Support list... I can't find a way to reproduce with the GNOME panel(s) the Windows taskbar setting I need, which is quite simple: to have the GNOME panel set up so that other windows can cover it. The problem with autohide is that it keeps popping up in front of my foreground application. The problem with enabling the hide buttons and manually hiding it is that the hide button stays visible on top of my foreground app. What I want is a normal panel, /not/ hidden or autohidden, but just *not* set to be always-on-top. I've Googled but all I've established is that other people seem to want the same thing & can't find a way. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: lpro...@gmail.com Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AOL/AIM/iChat/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • LiveJournal/Twitter: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • ICQ: 73187508 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu- With Voice control
Yep, lots of people working on voice / speech recognition, but still lots of problems to overcome - the least of which are the kernels audio sub system, and that current versions require the real-time kernel too!

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu- With Voice control
it just occurred to me that a voice controlled media centre would be really cool. The only problem i can forsee is, if playing with high volume, the pc might not pick up the user's voice. 2009/9/15 Alan Pope > 2009/9/15 javadayaz : > > How well has this been implemented in the Ubuntu Environment?
