I just need to view the documents, editing is no required. A OneNote (*.one) to *.pdf converter will do just fine, but I couldn't find one. Why do I need to open MS OneNote files? A friend is taking notes in class with a touchscreen laptop (Windows 7, MS Office 2007) and I can't really complain about his choice of software when he's being nice and sharing his notes.
I can access my windows my documentsmusic by mounting my windows drive and browsing to it. I can then playwatch my movies and pics in Ubuntu.But what I really want to be able to do is re-map the Ubunbu docs folder like so:
Ubuntu Pics = Windows My Documents pics. Ubuntu Videos = Windows My Documents Videos.
I'm not very unix savy so I've been using Ubuntu tweak PersonalDefault Folder Locations setting and browsing to my Windows folders. But it doesn't work.I have managed to make a desktop 'short cut' and that works but I'd rather set the system wide default document folders.
How can I change the mountpoint of my partition /media/documents to /documents.This is a partition of sdb and a fixed disk.The reason is that /media/ sometimes creates ghostdirectories while /Windows/C never does so, programmes writing/reading from this partition therfore don't work if a ghostdir_ exists.(BTW Suse is on sdb5 and sdb6. on sda is windows and used to be Ubuntu, the Suse-swap is sda5. Windows is out of use.)
I have been working in macromedia dreamviewer for editing html and php files, Just now I moved to linux system by installing xampp , my question is that I need a best html and php editor that supports both the design view and code view as like in dreamviewer.
I really prefer to use the onenote, which is a program in MS office. it offers many convenient features. for example, when I googled some useful hints, how-to's, matlab-scripts.. I put them to onenote. and it's very quick to search in the bulk contents.I haven't found one counterpart in suse. but is there really a similar one?
I have installed Jaunty on my laptop. I have a dual boot with Windows 7 and I've set up access to my windows partition. I can read and write to the music and photos directories but I can't write anything to My Documents in the windows file system. I have tried in Gnome and from a terminal and checked that I have write permissions set correctly.
For example in the My Documents directory:
Code: $ mkdir test mkdir: cannot create directory `test': Operation not supported
I get the same message if I try to rename My Documents using either mv in the terminal or the Rename option in gnome.
I was trying to install Ubuntu on a USB stick. Here is my problem. So I went to the ubuntu site and downloaded Ubuntu. Now I have the .iso file on my computer but if I click on it, it asks me to burn but I want to save it on a USB stick. I did that with Universal USB-Installer. It goes smooth but when its finished its not the .iso file thats in it but just some documents and stuff... How do I get the .iso ? ( I want to use it with VirtualBox but you need the .iso for that...)
So my windows 7 partition got all messed up. Fortunately I have a working Ubuntu partition so I mounted the windows partition in Ubuntu and went in to pull my files over to linux so I could wipe the windows partition and reinstall windows 7. Everything is going great until I try to get into my documents.
I go into documents and settings so I can get at said files and it's empty. I figure it's a security issue so I try to alter the security settings and of course it doesn't let me. At this point I realize "crap my windows user account has a password on it".
So to the point at hand, is there any way to mount the windows partition and get around the windows login so I can get at the secured files (and copy them to the ubuntu partition)?
I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 under my Windows 7 but now my Windows is not opening up because of Hard disk crash. I am still able to see all my windows files from 'home' folder in Ubuntu. How can i be able to see my Document files present in My Document folder of Windows 7??
I have a computer with 3 hard drives/partitions. On the 2 non-OS ones I can not save documents from Emails or websites. It tells me "You do not have permission to write this file". I'm the computer administrator, why can't I save a simple document
i have hp photosmart c4340 combine printer i need to scan documents and send them via email with a preview page meaning a page where i write to who the document needs to arrive how can i do this?
I reinstalled 9.10 yesterday and put the home folder on its own partition. Now it has my home folder as owned by me but all the files in it including Documents are owned by root. I did tell it to change ownership on enclosed files with no luck. So I can't paste my backup files into the Documents folder. I can do GKsudo nautilus but it times out every 15 minutes and I have to restart copying the 67GB of files constantly.
So I just realized that I am not allowed to access my documents folder which I backed up but I get an error saying I do not have permission or something along those lines. I remember a while back that there was something I could do along the lines of changing my ubuntu user and group and that would make the mac folder think that I am the owner of it. How do i do this and will this work?
I have 8.04 installed on my laptop by WUBI that I don't use often it is no longer working because of a graphical error is it possible to get the pictures I want from ubuntu from windows or a live CD. If so where does ubuntu save files that I could access through windows.
I have just upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic. Mostly it's gone okay; a few things broke but I can fix most of them. One thing I can't figure out, though: 'lpr' stopped working properly. Printing via a GUI (i.e.: using the "print" option from an application) works fine. Printing to CUPS-PDF works fine. But printing via the command line (ie: lpr myFile.txt) doesn't work. It consistently cuts off the first line of text. For what it's worth I have a Dell Inspiron connected wirelessly to an HP OfficeJet J6480. HPLIP is installed and working fine.
So I set up my laptop dual boot with XP, now when I try to open text files, word docs, etc with get or doc files get error message with Gedit and with open office shows crazy unreadable characters?
I want to let xpdf handle it in its own window, and not firefox. in the firefox preferences tab, I have set pdf content to always ask, yet still firefox opens pdf itself.
I have somehow 'disappeared' my Documents folder.I was working on an Open Office document, when I chose "File/Save As" this is the very unwelcome message that came up:/home/ray/documents does not exist. Looking in Places, sure enough it is gone! Looking in Trash the newest file / folder is April 17. Today is April 26.How I may have done this?I guess I'll find out how good my backups are..I need to hit the road for the rest of the day and may not see your responses until tomorrow.Ubuntu 10.10 on a Lenovo R61iEdit:Well, now I've really embarrassed myself. I did find the contents of /home/ray/documents. I'll have to put it down to 'mouse tripping' Earlier I had needed to empty out a USB drive so I could use it this afternoon.
1 - Using Nautilus I created a folder in /home/ray/documents called called "8G holder" to hold the contents of the 8GiB USB drive for the evening.2 - The new folder did not appear to be created, so I did it again.Moved all of the USB contents over, wiped the USB drive and set it aside for use.It now seems that through mouse tripping I some how renamed documents, to "8G holder", created a second folder named "8G holder" in the first one.So now my question is much simpler. It is OK to rename the top "8G holder" to "Documents" and expect all to return to normal?Given that Linux is case sensitive should the name be "documents" or "Documents" ?
I have a dual boot Win 7 and Ubuntu 11.04 I just started setting up - and know almost nothing about Linux - I have all my data on separate drives from my OS drives, and would like to "arrive" at my "My Documents" file when i choose "Documents" in Ubuntu.
The location of "My Documents" is - /media/New Volume/My Documents (which I found by dragging the folder onto the terminal) not quite sure how to put in the right command - something like ln -s /media/New Volume/My Documents ~Documents - (but that isn't right and didn't work).I also want to do the same with Music, Pictures and Videos.
Whilst clicking through my toolbar the other day I accidentally dragged a shortcut from my documents folder onto my desktop. Not particularly wanting it there and 'cut' not doing anything I tried 'Move To > Toolbar' and then made the somewhat dumbass mistake of pressing 'Merge' thinking that'd put it back. Instead it did exactly as it said it'd do (shock horror) and turned my documents folder into one unopenable link ie. 'The Link "Documents" is Broken. Move it to the Rubbish Bin? - This link cannot be used, because its target "/home/supergibbon/Documents" doesn't exist.'
Without any obvious Edit>Undo type option, I was hoping you may be able to get the folder back as I don't really want to lose all my documents.
I have two Ubuntu Lucid Lynx computers, and I want to share files between them. Whenever I need some file, it's in the another computer. So what I want? I want that my PC's synchronize the files together: When I create a new bookmark (in Chrome) on computer X, it will appear in the computer Y's browser. I also have Documents-folder on both computers. When I put something in that folder I want it to be shown on the other computer's Documents-folder.
I have accidentally deleted my Documents folder by "shift+Delete"command & it had my important data.how can I restore it.[P]I am running Ubuntu 10.04[/P]
I have PDF files that I would like to be able to search the text of. I tried the GNOME Search for Files program (Places->Search for Files...) but it didn't find the PDF files that contained the text. What do you use to search for text in PDF files?
I have ubuntu 9.10, and Im not sure what happened, but I cant boot, Im fine with doing a reinstall, and I know how, but my main concern in getting my pics back, I hav a few folders I havent had a chance to back up. When I boot from a 9.10 live cd, I can find the HD and my home folder, but some individual pics it said I dont have premission to move, so is there another live cd, or a way to bypass that?
I know my driver works and that cups is up and running, because I can print off test pages to my heart's content, but I can't get any actual documents printed. I'm connected over the network at work to a Japanese NEC MultiWriter 3650n (it seems to be Japanese-only---I could find on drivers was in Japanese). It shows up in System=>Administration=>Printing. I set it as the default printer, and, as I said, it prints off test pages without a hitch. But whenever I open, say, a PDF and try to print it, the document appears to get sent, but never actually prints, and never shows up in the print queue (while the completed test pages do).
I have just installed 10.04 LTS Wubi.The thing is, I can see no obvious way of seeing my files which were created in Windows e.g.Documents, photos etc. How do I navigate to the Windows documents from within Wubi?
