Kubuntu 11.10 - Dissapointed

2011-11-17T07:06:00.001+05:30

Yeah. I love Kubuntu. But after the recent installation of Kubuntu 11.10, it's not a nice experience. I have used beta versions that might be better than this. It's being more than a month after it was released. And I still have huge loads of new issues and regressions.

Convert .doc to .pdf in command line using Libreoffice

2011-09-07T19:41:00.001+05:30

Apparently this can be used to convert many more types of documents. For example converting a pdf file into odt would work too.

Wow... it's been nearly 18 months since the last post.. Seems to be better if I put the Ubuntu version rather than the time to get an idea... It's 10.10 now and within a month we should get 11.04, thanks to the wonderful Ubuntu community.

Follow this link and execute the command stated there there http://www.stefanoforenza.com/remove-mono-from-ubuntu/ I should say a big thank you for the person who maintain the above site.

Anyways
