Fedora :: PDF Editing Fail

Aug 27, 2011

I searched the Internet for software that is compatible with Linux and is capable of editing PDF documents. This is not counting anything that doesn't allow PDF as both an input and output. Also not counting anything that imports a PDF into some sort of image file, whereupon it loses all track of textual content. Found a grand total of one product, PDF Edit.

Installed PDF Edit. Easy. Tried just using it without reading instructions. Not intuitive. Googled and followed the instructions to edit my document. Not happening. Says my document is read only which it's not. Says it's linearized. Maybe so, but Acrobat never complained. Researched some more. Must de-linearize. Did that. Now technically I can edit the text content fields of the document but when I try that, the changes don't appear on the screen. All I really want is to place some annotation text boxes in my document, type information into them so it looks right on the screen, save and print it. Gave up on PDF Edit.Also attempted Acrobat 8, Acrobat 9, Nuance PDF Converter 4, and PDFill PDF Editor, in Wine, each attempt a similar nightmare.Will some kind soul suggest something, or show me the error of my ways? I really like Fedora and it seems a shame to scurry back to XP for this minor task.

Ubuntu :: Grub2 Editing - Editing Directly To /boot/grub/grub.cfg?

Jun 6, 2010

I have an old laptop that I installed EasyPeasy Lucid on. I have never used Grub2 as my other Ubuntu installs still use Grub Legacy. I have studied all the tutorials which instruct that the grub.cfg file should not be edited directly.This old laptop has one of the dreaded Intel graphics chips for which the kernel automatically loads the i915 module. Of course (like a multitude of others with Intel graphics and Lucid) I booted into a black screen but knew the workaround was to enable mode setting through grubI used the

Code:
i915.modeset=1
and added it to /etc/default/grub line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, just after "quite splash", just

Fedora :: Photo Editing Choices For KDE?

Jun 7, 2011

I'm looking for some simple to use photo editing software for KDE. I don't really need the GIMP. I just want to do some simple auto-enhancement, rotating, and resizing. Pretty simple stuff. I'm trying to install Shotwell right now. I've used it on Gnome installs, (Ubuntu refugee), but I was wondering if there is a similar native KDE application.

Fedora :: Photo Editing Software

Please help me save my marriage.I talked my wife into using linux awhile back with no problems, but now she has gotten into scrapbooking and wants a easy to use program to add boarders (lots to choose from, I have tried fotowell) and of course general editing. She tried Gimp but it is more than what she is looking for.

Fedora :: Editing A 26 Gigabyte Text File?

Jul 15, 2009

I did a pg_dump of our data warehouse, and it is 26 gigabytes. I wanted to load this data into a different database product (one that forked from Postgresql, so its syntax is very similar).I needed to change the syntax of the "COPY" command in the pg_dump output, remove references to "public", and change the table owner name. sed did these for me (albeit slowly). The output from pg_dump is a file called "pg-dump-output.sql".

pg_dump produces this:

Fedora :: Editing Activities / Applications Menu In F15?

Jun 3, 2011

Recently made the switch to F15 and GNOME3. The changes are a little jarring, but I'm trying to have some good faith, see how I adjust to things, etc. Any ways, the applications menu (in "fallback" mode) or the 'activities -> applications' menus (in "full" mode) have every application I've ever installed, some times poorly classified. I'd like to edit these, making more minimal menus.

There is, of course, the "alacarte" application. While it runs just fine -- the changes are not reflected in the menus (in either mode). One could manually edit the desktop configuration text files, I assume, but as much work as I need to do -- I was hoping for a GUI application. Does an alternative exist? or a way to interface them?

Fedora Installation :: Editing Boot INI File To Detect F12?

Jan 6, 2010

Problem is to boot fedora. On my system I have 3 HDD
on 1st - 2 partition (1)XP (2) free space for data NTFS
on 2d - 1 partition (1) Win Serv 2003
on 3d - 3 partitions (1) free space for data NTFS (2) /boot (3) Fedora 12

After installation boot manager doesn't see fedora! Only give me option to run XP or 2003. Another problem Fedora 12 Live CD doesn't work for my graphic. I see some quick text after lanch and then black screen but still understand that there going some processes under that black screen, than it looks like stop and w8 for my decision which I cant make cause don't see what is there going on. So there no chance to get under linux after instalation and no chance using live CD to install GRUB and I need some how edit boot.ini in windows to make it appear fedora in boot menu.

My current boot.ini looks like that:
Code:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition" /noexecute=optout /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
how should looks 3d line?
Code:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(2)partition(3)Linux="Fedora 12" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
like this?

Fedora :: Dual Boot - Editing Menu.lst For Windows?

Jun 24, 2011

I've had Fedora 14 installed for some time now, but decided I needed dual boot for some things I have that are built only for windows and need usb support.

I installed windows to hd0,4 but when I edit a windows 7 entry in grub, as:

title windoze 7
root (hd0,4)

then boot it, it doesn't find it.

It was actually the 4th partition, so hd0,3 not hd0,4 I apparently also needed to put in "Chainloader +1" too... what ever that does...

Fedora Installation :: Editing Partions For Additional Hard Disks?

Apr 30, 2009

I have three hard disks in my PC , hda is used for /, /home, /boot and swap. Everything seems to setup fine here I then have partitions sdb1 and sdc1. On the edit partion options for these hard drives I can set the mount point. I have never seen this before with the other distros I have used and usually have to mess around with fstab after install to mount these disks, so was pleased to see this option.

Under my previous install (Debian, which I didn't use for long) I had these drives mounted under /media/store1 and /media/store2. This is reflected in the "Edit Parition: /dev/s***" options where the "Original File System Label" is shown as store1 and store2 for each disk

Fedora :: Nano - Editing Lines That Go Past The Window Edge?

Nov 22, 2009

I noticed a problem when editing files with nano. This problem happens if the terminal window that I run nano from is not wide enough to show the full line.By way of example below is part of my grub.conf

Code:

title Fedora (2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64)
root (hd0,13)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64 ro root=UUID=47e4c448-8087-4ec6-a67b-814845a598db noiswmd LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us vga=0x370 nouveau.modeset=0
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64.img

If we assume the code box above is the size of the terminal window, if I edit anything past what will show as the $ sign in nano, it will automatically add a carriage return. So if we take the kernel line above, if say the screen shows at the end root=UUID=$, if say I were then to add 00 the end of the UUID, it will move everything starting from root=UUID= to a new line. Is there some wrap feature that is enable in Fedora for nano?

Would anyone know if there is an option to make a read only file editable? Judging by the responses to the thread I followed to enable my soundcard, it is possible, and perhaps there is some setting etc that needs changing

Fedora :: Yum - Releasever -13 Upgrade Fail

Everything seemed to go well, - all 1691 rpms downloaded to: /var/cache/yum/x86_64/13/fedora/packages/zip-3.0-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm, and then halted with the following message:

Fedora Networking :: 13 - NFS Mounts Fail ?

Jun 13, 2010

I have upgraded three machines to Fedora 13.

On all of them any attempt to mount an nfs drive fails with:

Code:

This happens immediately - within a few tenths of a second at most. It happens whether I use mount -a(mounts are listed in the fstab file) or a full mount command. It happens on both 32-bit and 64-bit installs.

Nothing appears in the messages log file on either the server or the client machine.

It was working in Fedora 12.

Iptables and ip6tables are both disabled. nfsd is running.

Hosts.allow and hosts.deny both exist on the client, but are empty. They contain nothing but comment lines.

I can ping the server and run ssh shells to it. I can open Web pages in Firefox.

The server is CentOS 5.4.
