I'm trying to impose a second signature from file onto a pdf document.
The first worked fine as Adobe allow this but the second required sending to a recipient for them to sign. No matter how we try, the second signature cannot be added.
I am now using GIMP Image Editor to do this and whilst it does work, the image cannot be scaled down to fit in the appropriate area, it always appears oversize and overlaps other areas of the form.
Has anyone any idea how to reduce the size of the image?
Thanks for your help.

The Abstract Wallpapers from the MATE 1.8 Desktop Environment

A small suggestion on what to do after downloading the images.
Since the images are semi transparent you can tweak the color or set the gradient.

Hello All,

As the subject indicates I am a newbie to Linux. I have tried a couple of other distros and must say LL is tops. Just love it and so easy to use.

Thank you.

Would those of us who use LL2.2 benefit at all from reducing the swappiness ?

I ask only because it was a recommended thing to do in ubuntu 14.04

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the right place since it might be more of a bug type report, unless I've missed something very basic. Also I can't believe that it hasn't been reported before, but I'm blowed if I can see it mentioned.

Anyway, it's about the printer (presumably driver) crashing when you inadvertently try and print a file that does not have the correct permissions.

I was recently setting up a minidlna server on Linux Lite, and set about editing its configuration file. By default, this file is set to user and group minidlna, with read only for other users.

So I had no problem opening the file in leafpad. but problems began when I tried to print it. The first thing is the output got stuck in the spooler, so I had to delete the job. Then I got a message displayed top right saying “printer may not be connected”. Even after a system restart, the same message appeared, and no print functionality could be achieved. The only way to get the printer working again was to remove it, and add it back again, which was straightforward, but a somewhat extreme way to recover.

I'm using a networked Epson Stylus Photo PX710W setup in pass through mode. After re-adding the printer and doing a chmod 777 on the file all was well for printing and configuring the file. Incidentally, minidlna now works great, much less of a pain than mediatomb. But surely shouldn't there be something in the system as a precursor, that stops this printer crash occurring, and gives a warning message box, maybe a watchdog script somewhere.

I'm thinking with the new Xfce 4.12 coming out and Ubuntu 14.04.2 with the 3.16 Linux kernel already out that this could be a great next update to LL.

Simon Steinbeiß of Xfce announced this week that a string freeze for 4.12 would go into effect on Friday (today), in allowing translators one week to tidy up their translations. The announcement indicates that Xfce 4.12 is still gearing up to be out the door next weekend, 28 February / 1 March.

Unlike failed Xfce 4.12 plans of the past few years, it looks like this release will actually pan out in one week's time.

Intel is heavily investing in the latest kernels for incrwsong the speed and features supported of their integrated graphics on the newer CPUs. Any improvement that is good for gaming is attractive to Windows switchers IMHO.


- Initial support for Cherryview, the upcoming Atom SoC update with Broadwell derived graphics.

- Support for large cursors. On HiDPI displays rather than limiting to 64x64 cursors, cursors can now be up to the hardware limit of 256x256 pixels.

- Work towards atomic page-flipping.

- Run-time Power Management is now enabled by default for new platforms.

- Universal primary plane support is now in good shape.

- Improved out-of-memory handling.

- Command parser work for some OpenGL/OpenCL features of Haswell.

- Userptr support to let user-space wrap up any malloc'ed allocations into GEM buffer objects.

- Broadwell now supports eDRAM, GPU Turbo, and VEBOX2 support.

- GPU reset improvements.

- Prep work for Dynamic Refresh Rate Switching (DRRS).

- and more...
