View 9 Repliesthis might be a silly question, it might not. I need to send upload some documents (scans) I have onto a website, and there is a limit to how large the pdf can be. (7MB) The file I have - and I can upload only one - is about 10 MB. Is there any command with which I can make this pdf smaller without compromising the resolution too much
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've noticed this issue for a long time now, and it's always bothered me. Whenever I have to open a file within a program or upload something to a website, etc., the window that pops up is always HUGE. The reason is due to the list of file types at the bottom. Instead of cutting off with an ellipsis at some point, every single applicable file type is listed. I can't resize these windows, either, so they always take up my entire screen. Is there any way to fix this so that these kinds of windows are a more reasonable size?

Also, I am a little lost. Where is the menu? I can't find system settings. How do I edit launchers on Dock? What command do I have to use in order to restart the panels? (on 10.10 I was just killing the gnome panel and it restarts by itself)

View 9 Replies View RelatedBeen using Ubuntu 9.04 for a while now but I've always felt that the interface is too chunky. The buttons, text, dialogs are waaaay too big. Is there any good solution to reducing the size of everything, including dialogs and buttons. So far, I have been dropping the DPI with mixed results. It mostly affects fonts so it hasn't fully met my needs.Hence, I am posting on here to see how other people manage the chuny-ness of Ubuntu. Have you just gotten used to it? Have you got your own workaround? Have you converted to kUbuntu!?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a dual-boot Vaio, with Windows Vista (for WOW only,I promise!) and Ubuntu 10.10. I have a HDD with 250 GB, where 170GB is for Ubuntu and around 40 GB for Windows and a Swap that is 6 GB. This Swap seems a little too big, so how o I edit its size (make it smaller like 3GB) and then add the "free space"-leftovers to the big Ubuntu partition ( / )?

I have 100s of these picture files, so I can't set down and do it one by one in Paint.
I am wondering if there is any command in Centos 5.4 or tool that I can use to not only make these files size smaller but also to standardize their size to let's say 800 X 600. The latter is not really needed but it will be bonus if someone can guide me.
I am running a php photo gallery script and it takes way to long to load the picture hence the requirement to lower the size for all the files.
I know that there is "mogrify" and "convert" but I think they don't work without GIMP. I don't have GIMP installed and I do install it I think it goes on to install a lot of gnome libraries which I am afraid might break my server or overload it too much. My CentOS doens't have any GUI or gnome package to it and I want to keep it simple.
Each version of Ubuntu I've used, the size of the text in the virtual consoles (Am I allowed to call it "screen resolution" if it's a CLI?) has varies widely; some versions had the consoles in 80x24 text mode while others used much higher resolutions.this version of Ubuntu seems to use 80x24 characters, which looks really ugly on my 17" screen. Is there any way to make the font size smaller? QBASIC had a WIDTH command to change the number of rows and columns of characters,

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using 10.04 LTS Lucid, and I notice the free space of root is getting smaller and smaller.
Five months ago, there was about 3.9GB free space of root, but now it is only 1.6GB. I always run sudo apt-get autoremove and sudo apt-get autoclean every time the update is finished, and also use Bleachbit to clean the system, but both are useless.
I never faced such problem with older versions of Ubuntu, is there any measure to fix it?

1. There is not any .deb in the /var/cache/apt/archives.
2. The total content of /var/log is only 167.6 MB, that won't be a problem.
I like openSUSE 11.3 very much. When I move the mouse pointer to the upper left corner of the screen, my active window is immediately replaced by 4, smaller windows (I think that at the beginning I had a cube). I'm afraid this gobbles up a lot of memory and henceforth slows down my computer. Is it possible to have only one window "active" at the time? If I want, say a terminal screen, I can always activate it via the "Computer" button?

I figured out how to pin apps to the sidebar, but I'd like to configure the "Favorites" folders and just see what other options can be customized.
I would have thought right-clicking (anywhere) would have helped, but I get nowhere.
The left sidebar has been annoying me since the must recent Ubuntu update for Ubuntu Netbook 10.10(?) and I want to know if its possible to remove the darn thing and go back to the old view (or just remove it in general). Is this possible without reverting to Ubuntu 10.04? And if not, can someone tell me how to revert to Ubuntu 10.04? A picture of the sidebar I want removed is attached.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've seen a lot of screenshots on gnome-look.org of themes that have nautilus without the ugly sidebar border. However when I install these themes I still get that border.
Example of a theme without the ugly border: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.p...content=124462
I've attached a screenshot of my nautilus with a red stroke indicating the border I am talking about.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this?
Deleting unwanted items from the Unity Sidebar is easy.
but how do you add to it? I'd like to add Terminal, Calibre and some other things to the sidebar for easier access.
I would also like to move Google Chrome to the top of the bar, instead of the middle.
So how does one customize this side bar in Unity?
other than not knowing how to customize my applications in the sidebar, Unity is pretty awesome.
I installed UNE on my desktop pc just to see what it's like. It starts okay, but whenever i moved my cursor over the left side app bar the entire interface closes and restarts. I therefore can't use the app bar at all. Has anyone else encountered this? Any recommendations?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am a relatively new user Ubuntu 11.04. I just installed this version and i tried to customize it using Compiz. And after i did that, it appears that i have been zoomed in to my desktop and i can not access the sidebar or even the topbar....furthermore i cant access the terminal or anything to reset Ubuntu. I also do not think that i was giving full admin access when i installed 11.04, i think i have the "Custom" setting/access.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded to 11.04 and the sidebar seems to not be functioning as one would expect.
I removed unwanted applications that come by default and added my own applications by clicking "Keep In Launcher".
After a reboot the sidebar returns to default applications. I did a quick Google search but wasn't able to find anyone else reporting the problem.
Has anyone heard of this happening to anyone else and can you think of anyway to fix it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have just installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.10. I am trying to work out how to add Chromium to the Unity Sidebar. With other applications, I can launch them, right-click the application icon in the sidebar and select "Keep in Launcher", however Google Chromium doesn't appear to have this option. Does anyone know how this can be achieved?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI see many people are a little uneasy with the new desktop of Ubuntu. I think it's marvelous, though... Not because of a reason other than just that a change after a short while is always good.
So, in the Gnome desktop, I would go to gconf-editor and set some keys and I'd get my computer folder and home folder shortcut on my desktop.
This time since the unity desktop has come with a nice sidebar, I'd like to put the same icon there, in the sidebar. But I can't even access computer as Computer:/// anymore... What to do?
