I have an Aquaris M10 Ubuntu edition that has a micro hdmi output. I would like to use it for giving a presentation/lecture using LibreOffice Impress or similar, but also to be able to draw on the presentation as I am giving it. Do I have any options? Ideally I'd like to just use the tablet+pen with no other peripherals.
At work my group currently use self maintained network printers. We also run our own self contained Linux network for some members of the group. It all works beautifully. The management has decided that it will be more efficient and sustainable for everybody to use centrally maintained printers. This brings us a number of useful features such as being able to submit a print job and then pick it at any printer we want. The problem is that printing will be tied into the central authentication system, which we don't use.
It turns out that we don't actually have to make use of the authentication as such, we just need to make sure that the username a print job is submitted under has the correct username - otherwise you can't pick it up. We could change all of the username and home directories for all of our users to match the centrally managed ones, but understandably we'd prefer not to do that. If we can remap our usernames to the centrally managed ones for printing then everything should just work.
We're currently using cups for our printing needs and as far as I can tell it doesn't support any form of username remapping. Is this correct? I do know that Samba supports username remapping, but I'm not sure if it would work in this configuration. We need:
- local username print (to our server if necessary) -> username remapping to central username -> print job sent to print service.
Can anybody suggest how we might achieve this?
I'm using the NoMachine provided NX client on Ubuntu 10.10 running on a laptop. I'm connecting to a FreeNX server that happens to be running on openSUSE.
I'm having trouble with keys being incorrect in the remote session. The most noticable example is that when I press up cursor, the screen shot dialog appears instead. As far as I can gather easily, the cursor keys and delete are affected.
It's worth noting that it doesn't display the same behaviour if I dual boot to Windows XP, or from a different machine using openSUSE.
I'm not really sure where to begin looking. Any suggestions?
