After doing a search on the net I found that pdf file compression is quite dark!

To make life easier I created a script Nautilus (tested on version 10.04 and 11.04 of ubuntu 64bit, but working with all of them)

The script compresses the pdf looking for in the can to maintain good visual quality.

First you need to install a dependency, open the terminal and write

sudo apt-get install ghostscript

Now download the script created by me

Once you have downloaded the script must be placed in

/home/vostronome/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts

then right-clicking on the file

go to properties> permissions

and put the check “Allow executing file as program”

Now just you select the PDF file you need, and right-click

script> Compress-PDF

now wait patiently (depends on the weight of the file)

I hope you might come in handy!

Hi today I will explain how to start firefox with diversified and separate personal settings

This could be useful when:
1) We would like to try a new version (pre-or beta) of firefox
2) You want to keep a clean configuration quick and keeping the other custom plugins and various

INSTRUCTIONS :

nb:If you want to download a new version go here

Click here to download Firefox

So first of all close firefox (so I advise you to print the page)

1) click contemporary “alt+F2”

write:                     firefox –profilemanager           ; dare invio

This will open a screen where you’re going to add a new profile ; es:    firefox-beta

Wanting can rename the default profile

es: Fox         ; save and close

2) Ora andremo a modificare il lanciatore di firefox nel menù

right click on; applications> edit menu

now we go in the internet and on the “firefox” do a click

Once selected clicciamo right “Edit”

in the command erase all (firefox% u)

putting: firefox-P Fox, click close

nb:instead of Fox’re going to put the name of the default profile or that we had renamed

3) Now we’re going to click on “new voice”

and we’re going to put:

A: for those who do not have another system in firefox

name = Firefox Fast

command = firefox-P Fox-fast

nb : instead of “Fox-fast” we’re going to put the second profile that we have so far

B: for anyone who has two firefox (one installed by default and the other unloaded by hand)

name = Firefox beta

command = /var/firefox/firefox-P-beta Firefox
nb : instead of “/ var / firefox /” we’re going to put the path to the folder where we extracted the. tar firefox we downloaded at the beginning, instead of “Firefox-beta” we’re going to put the second profile that we have so far

close the open windows
WELL NOW YOU ARE READY

Now in Applications> Internet will find two types of firefox

I recommend you can not start them both at the same time

then we can use the other one closed.

Good navigation “personalized”

3. Insert USB stick into your computer
   

4. Install a memory stick with unetbootin iso (ubuntu to be installed last)

13. Open the folder of the second distro created and open the file syslinux.cfg
    you do steps 12 and 13
    

14. If by chance you have puppy after ‘label puppy’> ‘kernel vnlinux’ is transformed into ‘kernel / vnlinux’
    and also intrd = / initr.gz (in short, the super string kernel)
