[SLUG] Solved: Re: sane - failed to start scanner - invalid argument
Problem solved... the problem was the usb hub I was plugged into. If I plug directly into the USB port... suddenly everything works. Very odd considering this hub works fine on a Mac with the same scanner. For the record, it's a standard Ubuntu Breezy set up, and this model SnapScan 1212u didn't require any firmware (I commented out that line in /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf) thanks, David.

I installed Thunderbird and I got the same problem. I looked in the install log under ~/./thunderbird/*default* and what its trying to do is install the dictionary in a system folder that needs root permissions. East way to get around this is just run mozilla-thunderbird as root (type su then root password in a terminal then type mozilla-thunderbird) When Thunderbird tries to do a setup just skip it. Open the extensions menu drag and drop the dictionary file on the extensions window, bingo installed. Now start Thunderbird under your user account per normal.

The problem I am getting is that I can scroll down but not back up using the scroll bars. I have seen this problem with another program as well, vnc I think. IIRC left click goes one way, right click goes the other. -i signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] Re: [LINK] IT support costs
Replying to my own post, I have found this report: http://www.levanta.com/linuxstudy/EMA_Levanta-Linux_RR.pdf Howard Lowndes wrote: Has anyone got any good pointers handy to IT support ratios that I can use in a report that I am writing. I recall seeing somewhere mention of 1 IT head to 45 Windows boxen as against 1 IT head to 120 Linux boxen, but I really could do with a sound citation. TIA -- Howard.

[SLUG] Want to stop PDF from opening in other Desktop
Hi All,I find that if I have a pdf open in Adobe Reader(7.0) on Desktop A and click a pdf link in Firefox from Desktop B, the file opens in the Reader opened in A. Is there a way to make the Reader open another instance in B? I have my reasons for this. Have checked out Preferences, but nothing exists as I expected. Need to write a script, perhaps?
