LibreOffice to the rescue (where Microsoft Word fails)

 This morning I fielded an interesting call from staff trying to help someone who dropped in to our centre. The person had forwarded an Apple .pages document to our front desk staff, but they couldn't open the document with Microsoft Word. The person didn't have access to whatever created the .pages document, so they couldn't open it and File > Save As to convert it to a different format.

I figured (correctly as it turns out) that LibreOffice might be able to open the .pages document. Sure enough it did, and the staff were able to edit and print the document from LibreOffice, and ultimately save it as a Word document. Oh the irony.

Trying Pop!_OS on my Thinkpad T430s

At the Computer Recycling Project we standardized on Xubuntu Linux several years ago. I've been using Xubuntu at home on all my machines pretty much since we switched from Ubuntu to Xubuntu (around 2010). I've experimented briefly over the years, but found myself always going back to Xubuntu since I work with it on a regular basis at work. Xubuntu is great because it works on some pretty low-powered notebooks/laptops. Because I have to support Xubuntu at work it makes sense I use it on my machines at home. But every now and then I like to try different Linux distributions to get a sense of what else is out there, and what things one distribution might do better than another.  Recently there's been a lot of criticism of System76 by a number of groups of people. System76 is the company behind Pop!_OS and some really cool Linux hardware. From the designs on their cardboard boxes, to the cool things they're doing with Coreboot, I think there's a lot to admire about the ...

Xsensors is kind of nice

One of the problems I've been facing re-archiving my media collection is that Handbrake is sometimes cutting off the end of movies. At this point I suspect my weird setup is to fault: I'm using a 3rd gen NVME on a motherboard, Atermiter X79, that combines some very old technology with modern tech like NVME. The problem is other people have also mentioned having this issue on Windows (I'm using Xubuntu 20.04). They don't mention their setup, but I imagine they can't all have an unusual setup like mine. So I went digging around the world wide web and found a blog post suggesting it could be the CPU overheating then crashing Handbrake. I'm not sure I believe this theory as Handbrake doesn't crash, in fact many of my issues have come up while archiving television shows, and Handbrake just moves on to the next episode after cutting one short. Sometimes the cut off is after only a few seconds, sometimes it's near the end. It happens with both brand new and use...

Frustrating printer bug in the latest Xubuntu 20.04

There is a maddening bug that seems to have crept into Xubuntu 20.04. I've now tested and found this issue on every computer I've installed Xubuntu 20.04 on. The problem occurs when you try changing the printer driver for an existing printer. Printers > Right Click on the Printer > Properties > Beside Make and Model click Change At this point the printer user interface freezes up and just sits there infinitely. The printer you're choosing doesn't matter. I've had the same experience with a variety of printers, on a variety of different machines. system-config-printer frozen The program responsible for this printer dialog on Xubuntu is called system-config-printer. I filed a bug report several days ago, but it's currently sitting at the bottom of the pile of 75 or so bugs for this program dating back several years. I seem to remember this wasn't an issue on Xubuntu 18.04, but I'm going to install 18.04 to check and see if the issue also crept int...
