Jun 23, 2011How do I achieve this? I know how to get the design and everything working... but if I add some rounded corners for instance... the pixels stick out and look horrible.

Ubuntu :: Could Use Some Pointers For Making A GIMP/tesseract Script
Feb 17, 2010I'm currently undertaking the ridiculously stupid task of using tesseract ocr to convert a scanned 1,000 page .pdf document into .txt documents (I volunteered to do it for a girl - I'm pathetic, I know). I import one page of the .pdf at time in GIMP, convert it to indexed colors, save it as an uncompressed .tif, and then run tesseract in a terminal on the saved .tif, after which it spits out a .txt file (which I instruct tesseract to name after the page number of the .tif, for example 537.tif becomes 537.txt).
This process takes about a minute per page, so at 1,000 pages we're looking at 1,000 minutes. That's a lot of minutes. I've looked into scripts some and I understand the very basics, but I don't know how to make a program, like GIMP, perform several specific functions in succession (import, convert to indexed colors, save as uncompressed .tif), and then have another program, like tesseract, perform its function after the completion of the prior program's function. I'm not trying to ask anyone to do my work for me, but could someone give me some advice regarding this, or point me in the direction of a newbie-friendly how-to that might help me out? I haven't found any. I'd like to finish this thing quickly, so as to maximize girl-impressing potential.

Mar 2, 2010If you had Gimp 2.6 (with gimp-plugin-registry installed) and installed Gimp 2.7 to try its new goodies, but Layer Effects are not showing, and when executing "gimp" from console you get these *nasty* errors:

Ubuntu Installation :: Gimp - Gimp-help-en - On 10.04 Lucid Lynx - Installing Other Applications And Preforming System Tasks?
Jun 12, 2010Some of you may have had with issues after installing GIMP on Lucid Lynx 10.04. Which may be directly related to "gimp-help-en", which could prevent you from installing other applications and preforming system tasks. If so, use this method to fix it.
Process: (Terminal > $ sudo apt-get install gimp)
1. After installing Gimp go to the terminal:
2. Then load up the language support application:
3. Then it will ask you to install the "gimp-help-en", confirm it.
4. Fix'd
I think this issue is directly linked to a systems with multiple languages, but I haven't been able to test this theory out yet.
Ubuntu :: Mouse - Very Jumpy/not Smooth ?
May 20, 2010I installed 10.04 LTS yesterday on a desktop. I have a problem with the mouse, it's very jumpy/not smooth. I can move it across the screen and it will jump up and down and left to right. Jittery I guess you would say. I've googled this and seen several people with the issue but no one has a rock solid solution. Does anyone here have any suggestions? I know it isn't the mouse, I've tried a different one, and it reacts the same on any surface.

Oct 24, 2010i face problem with Firefox 3.6.11: smooth image scaling doesn't work. When i zoom in websites (ctrl +), images are not anti aliased, but appear pixelated, which is very ugly.
What I found out about so far, this seems not to be a FF problem (FF3 should support smooth image scaling), but a problem with the video driver, who tells X it could do smooth image scaling automatically but it cant. There is also a "bug" fix for the FF:

Fedora :: Ubuntu's Smooth LCD Fonts In 11 For Dummies?
Jun 25, 2009Compare Fedora's default fonts with Ubuntu's here and here. This is basically a simple "cheat" version for F11 of Breb's original thread, that thread has links to some excellent resources and info if you want to really understand what's going on.
UPDATE: directfb and xcb-util packages must be installed, check by doing: 'yum install directfb xcb-util' 0. In your home directory create a file named .Xresources (don't forget the dot) with this line:
Code:
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
1. Now, as root, create a directory for the libs that we will replace, and backup the current libs:
Code:
su -
mkdir -p ufonts/fedora
cd ufonts
cp -a /usr/lib/lib{cairo,freetype,pixman,Xft}* fedora/
(For x86_64, replace /usr/lib/ by /usr/lib64/ in the above and everywhere below)
2. Extract the required ubuntu libs from these debian packages, libcairo2, libfreetype6, libxft2, libpixman-1-0 or just unpack one of these tarballs 32bit libs, 64bit libs so that you have these libs in ufonts/ (64bit sizes will be larger):
Code:
$ ls -l
...

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Except For The Missing Screen At Start-up Everything Went Smooth?
Jun 3, 2011As a refuge from CentOS (no way I will use KDE4 or gnome) I ended up with Xubuntu 11.04 x86_64 and I like it a lot.Except for the missing screen at start-up everything went smooth until I tried to install VMware workstation 7.1.4 (I have a full license).If I install with sudo sh VMware_____.bundle the installer makes it through just fine but if I try to start it all I get is a short splash of a screen and it's done. Starting it manually it runs through a bunch of things and shows a lot of gtk warnings until it gets stuck and that's it. No screen at all.
Out of desperation I installed it with sudo su - and then the sh VMware.....bundle. If I then start it still as root (su -, vmware &) it works just fine but it doesn't work as user.I tried a lot of the "fixes" I found on the VMware site and googled but unfortunately no success.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Firefox Smooth Scrolling And Video Flickers?
May 27, 2010I'm using the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Desktop 64-bit distribution. Hardware is the Dell Vostro 1015; laptop with Intel (g)45 express chipset with Intel x4500MHD graphics accelerator. Celeron 900 2.2ghz single core, 1GB RAM.
The issue is I have smooth scrolling enabled in Firefox. And whenever I scroll the page, it's very choppy/laggish/not smooth at all. When I go on ..... to watch a video, any slight scrolling will cause it to flicker like crazy. The effect reminds me of when I run Windows without installing drivers for the video card.
Now I wanted to make sure it wasn't a hardware issue, so I installed Windows7 and did the exact same thing. Everything runs smoothly, I can smooth scroll no problem, and video playbacks without any flickers whatsoever. It is a lower end laptop, which is basically for the occasional ..... and web browsing.
I will try the 32 bit edition in the meantime to see if it helps. I was under the impression that 32bit limits your maximum ram to just under 4GB. (I planned to upgrade the laptop a bit)
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Use Xbox 360 For A Smooth Media Center Experience?
Oct 11, 2010I've been looking around for the past week, but I have yet to find anything yet that provides a media center solution using Ubuntu + Xbox 360, comparable to Windows 7 + Xbox 360.
I want to drop Windows 7 completely on my media PC, and just use Ubuntu (or Linux Mint). I've tried ushare, XBMC, Moovida, and a few other apps. Either they don't support sharing, or it's difficult to configure, or it is a cheap looking solution.
Is there no way to use my Xbox 360 for a smooth media center experience, similar to how it functions as a Media Center Extender for Win7, while replacing Win7 w/ Ubuntu?
I'm even open to commercial Linux solutions, I'm just hoping to be able to drop Win7 if possible..
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Smooth 1080p On VDPAU Mplayer On Hardy 8.04.4?
Dec 5, 2010I had a problem playing full HD videos (1080p @ 30 fps), frames dropped, CPU utilisation (on 1 of 2 CPUs) maxed out etc.As I'm still stuck on Hardy I didn't find much stuff that directly answers my question on how to play this... After hunting about a bit the following two links gave me some idea of what needs to be done, namely install a new version of Mplayer that supports VDPAU (NVidia's hardware video acceleration solution).
[URL]
Luckily I had a NVidia video card that supports VDPAU and I had installed the NVidia proprietary drivers before [URL]To check if your NVidia card supports VDPAU please look at the proprietary driver release details.
Quote from Wikipedia:
"Currently only second generation of PureVideo HD bit-stream processor in some of NVIDIA's GeForce 8 series and later graphics cards hardware that has support since the Beta device driver version 180.06.[4] Unsupported hardware from the GeForce 8 series includes the 8800GTS 320/640MB editions and the 8800GTX. Later cards based on the G9x series cores e.g. the 8400GS and the 8800GTS 512mb (G92 core) are supported."
I usually play using VLC but was put-off from trying to upgrade that to CDPAU support because of this little detail from the Ubuntu forum links above:
Quote:
"VLC is available with vdpau by way of VA-API, in this PPA:[URL]However, to install it you'll have to upgrade your precious and very touchy ffmpeg packages. There have been a couple of SONAME upgrades since Karmic's ffmpeg was released, and this will inevitably result in breakage of anything that A) uses dynamic ffmpeg, and B) is not rebuilt against the new version, ie. every package that's on your system that didn't come from that PPA."

If I open that file on other system and just save that with different name, it become smooth. Earlier I thought its something related to graphic card. So I purchased a new graphic card (nVidia) but still problem is same. I also tried different OS (including Windows XP as system is on dual boot mode) but no luck. I have attached 2 files. One is saved on that PC and another is from the same file, but I opened that file on second pc and saved that again.

Ubuntu :: Mint Kept Updating Xulrunner To A New Version Which Disable Firefox-Smooth-Scaling?
Apr 11, 2010I recently deleted all my Software Sources that were under "Other Software" and all my "Authentication" because Mint kept updating my xulrunner to a new version which would disable Firefox-Smooth-Scaling.Therefore I deleted all my Software Sources that were under "Other Software" and Authentication, and forced Mint to only install the xulrunner which uses Firefox-Smooth-Scaling. Unfortunately, after I deleted the software sources and authentication, now I can't update my system properly and get error messages that keys are missing. I added some software sources back the "Other Software" (someone responded to a previous post of mine on which ones to add), and under the "Authentication" window I tried hitting "Restore Defaults", but it only added two keys. These are screenshots of my Software Sources windows.

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Minimum Graphics Requ'd For Smooth MTS (1080-50p) Video Playback?
May 21, 2011I got a Geforce 8400GS 512MB with a 2.8 Ghz quad core system on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. MTS videos from my camcorder, which are AVCHD 28 mbit encoded don't play back smoothly using the nvidia proprietary driver (195.36.24). I compared with Windows XP, and concluded that it must be my not terribly high powered graphics card (silent, w/o fan) that must be too weak - the rest of the system is really quite fast. The software isn't really the issue either, I don't think, especially since the latest VLC under Windows XP doesn't do it, either.
Do people have experience what kind of a graphics can can power such video to play back smoothly? I am considering a 1 GB Asus Geforce GT520 with 1GB DDR3 (the 8400 has DDR2) - since it is also silent and I have a compact HTPC (a Shuttle), so shouldn't run too hot and I don't like loud fan noise.
I'm not sure if it is the larger and faster graphics RAM, or a fast graphics CPU (GT520 has 810 Ghz versus 8400GS has 500 Mhz) that will make the difference...
