I have a system with linux, now i am installing my own software in that system.
I want to display my own software logo at the time of booting, insteed of other linux codes (related all service starting informations...). But how can i do that?
also what is the use of grub file?
I know that ImageMagick's convert program can be used as follows to convert a collection of images -- say, in PNG format -- to a PDF file:
convert *png output.pdf
The problem with this is that each image is then stretched to fit on one page, whereas I would like to keep the original dimensions of the images and put as many as possible on one page in the PDF file before moving on to another page.
I want to make a time lapse movie using JPG images but I am really struggling to find the software. I have never actually used photolapse but it seems to be the software I am looking for, only problem is that it's for windows. So I've installed Wine and downloaded the photolapse.exe anyway but it won't open with wine so I don't know if that because it's not compatible? Or because I've done something wrong? I'd really appreciate it if someone could recommend a programme similar to photolapse that works in ubuntu or if someone could help me get photolapse working through wine.
Btw, I'm very new to linux and I'm not very good with IT stuff.
I am just spent half an hour hunting for a thing that should be totally available already:USB install images of Ubuntu, knoppix and all the others.And, the only good way are so far complicated tutorials where you extract the stuff from an CD image. Why??Hasn't everybody notices that CDs/DVDs are vanishing big time? That more and more systems don't have the readers anymore? Instead of following a 10 point instruction list, it would be nice to just be able to download a Ubuntu 8.10 or whatever USB image and be able to beam that DIRECTLY to a USB stick with a dd command.
Or am a missing something here? Does this exist?It should by no means be mariginal, considering how important USB stick in specific and flash memory in general have become.
I am running Linux from a DVD, not installed. I am not good with installing software, but since the DVD cannot be corrupted, I am content to operate this way. Lately, I have been having problems that previously did not occur. When I try to click on the checkbox to get rid of emails, it doesn't register in most cases, or when it does, I am clicking multiple times so it registers twice, meaning it is unchecked again. Even more frustrating is some issues that are affecting my ability to update my business. I am trying to modify spreadsheets (text not calculations).
Whenever I try to click & drag to select something to change, it keeps jumping around to select only some of what I want, something else or some combination of the 2. When I try to copy and paste several fields from 1 column to another, everything from the several fields in the source column ends up together in the last field in the target column. I am also trying to download some images from a website. There is a single column of links to the images. I have to click on the link to get to the image in order to copy it, then back out to continue looking for more links to do the same.
My computer keeps jumping back 2 steps, then forward 2 steps, and sometimes I lose my place in that list. I could deal with it if it were a small number of links, but this is a list of probably close to 20,000 links. Again, i am operating off of a live DVD so this should not be corruptible, but this has just started happening, and has been an issue the last several sessions.
using the update maneger to update on ubuntu new linux images available 2.6.31-17 generic and after the download is complete both images exist in the grub menu should i remove them ? or just remove them from the boot menu ? and if so how could i do each.

I'm just wondering what the limits for time are. I have a program that always takes exactly 20 ms, so I assume this is the lowest it can measure, but I want to see if there's some sort of documentation of this.

Kind of like what is normally done with norton ghost, however I don't have money to be buying it, and so it's left me curious about what utilities similar to ghost there are our there.
I dont know what the problem is ive downloaded 2 different images of ubuntu 10.10 and one for 10.04. Ive also tried the Wubi.exe download as well. everytime i try and install inside windows it gives me the error right at the end tells me that permission is denied and to check the logs. I know that im not the only one that is having this problem. I have tried to reburn the image at a slower speed only thing that i havent tried is installing using a thumb drive.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI admit this has been a particularly bad year for me, but it isn't THAT unusual by my standards. I typically spend I would reckon quite honestly about 70-80% of my time with computers just fixing stuff up that either I broke or was broke in the first place. Usually it's the latter by some considerable margin. That's really inefficient, isn't it? I just wondered what others' experiences are of this phenomenon. Obviously I don't do computers for a living or I would have starved years ago. So what is the Panel's consensus view on the percentage of wasted time we should expect to spend, on average, "running just to stand still" on maintenance tasks?

View 7 Replies View RelatedThe Ubuntu website doesn't include the md5 checksums for the current 10.04 matrix. The forum announcement thread also makes no mention of these checksums. That means servers could be distributing defective isos and on day one, that could mean tens of thousands of downloads could be defective. I have to say that md5sums have been a mainstay of Linux ISO distribution for a decade, this despite whatever flaws one might find in it, yet for the last few releases of U, md5sum data are the hardest data to locate on the Ubuntu website, and on release day, they are critical.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI turned on the computer this morning as usual, went into firefox, and some of the pages in the tabs look a bit strange, but i reckon they're just loading slow.Then I went into one of my sites that has images of some other sites that I designed. The images all seem to be there, so on. So I click through to one of the sites and... no images. Odd. Tried clicking where the image should be "View image" and it says firefox can't find it. Checked in ftp, the images are there and viewable.
Installed chrome and the site is perfect. Images showing up and everything.Still the same after a reboot.It makes cpanel really hard to use. Lots of sites including Facebook are just rubbish to look at (not just mine), seems the stylesheets may not be loading either in some cases. However, Ubuntu Forums is normal. In fact the whole thing is apparently completely randomAll is fine in Chrome.Is this a buggy version of firefox installed in the the latest update?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded from 10.04 to 11.04, and when I did so images started displaying improperly in Firefox. This is an issue that is isolated to Firefox, and does not occur in Chrome, and really only occurs on Facebook. The images look as though they were taken under a blacklight. I don't know what the issue is, as I was running Firefox 4 under 10.04, and the issue did not occur then.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've just created a bootdisk (ssd) with multiples Squasfs images I can choose to boot at the Grub2 menu.No I tried to put the sqfs-images into a ramdisk.

I used the 'dirty hacks'in the ubuntuforums.org/boottoram howto but I suited them for my needs.Now the Systems stops after the kernel and doesn't find a root system.
The sqfs-image without the modification of the 'casper'-script still boots but doesn't load into ram completely.
