mikubuntui have a 'new' hp scanner that a friend gave me, and it seems to be working right as far as saving images, but it is saving them in a .pnm filetype and open office doesn't seem to be able to open it09:16
mikubuntuomg.  i just tried to open the .pnm scanned file with open office and i notice in the file browser its 131 mb's!!! how can that be?09:16
mikubuntui need to reduce the size and convert it to pdf, but i don't know how09:17

ubuXubui tried tweak but all that fixed was my log on screen09:21
TheSheepubuXubu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Theming09:22
TheSheepubuXubu: also check out /etc/default/grub09:23
TheSheepubuXubu: I think removing 'quiet splash' from there and then rebuilding grub config would work09:23
