PDF annotation
I would like a tool to highlight text and write text box comments in PDFs I review.
Xournal is the best option currently.
I also tried KDE Okular, PDFedit, ghostview and Gnome Evince 2.26. None of these have the annotation capabilities I need.(Evince 2.28 might get them, but Ubuntu 9.10 is needed to install it). PDFedit did have a nice way to move text comments, which Xournal is missing, but highlighting and page flipping is not working for me.

Permanently mounting smb shares
Followed this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288534
Mount point located in /media.
ClientUser owns the mount point.
uid and gid set to ClientUser, otherwise files wont have editing permissions.
Server-side permissions still refer to ServerUser, not ClientUser. OK!

ÆØÅ special chars, Synology NAS and Ubuntu
Problem: Wrong character encoding when mounting CIFS/Samba share from Synology NAS in Ubuntu 8.04. Black diamond with question mark (unicode replacement character �) displayed instead of æøåÆØÅ. File Station web interface and mounting from Windows machine works perfectly.
Solution: Use -o iocharset=utf8 in mount.cifs.
An example:

HOWTO: Resolve Netbios hostname system-wide
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=88206
Let me start with a little background info. I manage a computer lab with 85 workstations. I ocassionally use either RDP or VNC to do some maintenance. I have no problem doing this from windows, but I wanted my lonely Ubuntu workstation to be able to do the same thing. After about a week of research I am finally able to ping my windows workstations via their Netbios names. Woohoo!!
All you have to do is:
edit /etc/nsswitch.conf
change the line that saysto this:Quote:
hosts: files dns (order does matter)Quote:
hosts: files wins dns
finally, you need to install winbindthat's all that it took for me.Code:sudo apt-get install winbind
now pingworks great. And I can finally use the built-in terminal server client with hostnames instead of IP addresses.
