Public bug reported: Touchscreens may not be the primary Evince use-case, but so far it is the only djvu viewer (in particular) I've found (amongst Ubuntu repositories) that's usable with the touchscreen for reading books page by page (ie in 90deg rotated fullscreen mode). This is thanks to the on

2011-05-22 Thread onebir
Workaround in #8 doesn't work for me (Ubuntu 10.04). After several hours looking and otherwise messing around, K9copy is the *only* DVD ripper I've founs for Ubuntu with support for automatic ripping of *multiple titles*. But if your / partition happens to be small, it's useless. Please please fix

I think (in my case) the problem was the boot record on the USB stick. I used Puppy Linux to set itself up for booting off the same USB stick. This failed to boot with the same message "Invalid or corrupt boot sector". In the Puppy Linux wizard, there's an option to replace the boot sector. Since

I've just had a similiar problem I think. I used the GUI to try to create a bootable USB on Ubuntu 8.10 i386 running as a live CD. (Dell Inspiron 640m, new - but possibly fake - Kingston DataTraveller 2GB USB flash drive). The bios hangs with the message "Invalid or corrupt boot sector". -- USB s

Well there's some dispute over whether it's actually a bug. But for someone unfamiliar with vi/vim & how one or the other's 'supposed' to work - perhaps using it to edit some config files because they can't boot into the GUI - the current situation could render this tool unusable. For them, it loo

I just had a freeze after double-clicking a wmv file (Hardy 8.04.2 wubi install on a Dell Inspiron 640m) on an external USB HD. The mouse continued to move around the screen, but clicking & keyboard input had no effect. Had to switch off using the power switch... This post (& the nature of the pr
