[00:01] <sh0rtBuS> ok, i checked the link out, looks a bit beyond my know how, im not dumb but doesnt look like somethin for a first timer
[00:02] <wxl> well the one thing about it is it works, without fail
[00:02] <wxl> i can't say that about other utlities
[00:03] <wxl> there's this, too, but i don't do windows so can't tell you if it works https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Win32DiskImager/iso2usb
[00:14] <sh0rtBuS> that last link looks simple. ima have to try a more reliable thumb drive or this external drive first then ill look into this other stuff, even tho some of its beyond my know how i enjoy learning about it more than i do random ass internet searches that get me nowhere. wish i wouldve started with irc first. Funny thing is i learned of irc back when sega dreamcast came out. they had a server
[00:14] <sh0rtBuS> for ppl who connected to the internet thru dreamcast to chat. its rare i meet someone in person who knows what irc is. glad its still around and useful.
[01:07] <sh0rtBuS> thx again, g2g cya
[01:50] <Ahmuck> adobe reader available for 16.10 ?
[01:52] <wxl> Ahmuck: why bother? use evince.
[01:52] <Ahmuck> evince is not displaying or printing the pdf correctly
[01:52] <wxl> then that's probably because it's a non-standard pdf
[01:54] <Ahmuck> suggestion?
[01:54] <wxl> tell whomever you got the pdf from to fix ity
[01:55] <Ahmuck> my bank sent the pdf
[01:57] <wxl> you willing to share this file?

[01:58] <ubottu> poppler-utils (source: poppler): PDF utilities (based on Poppler). In component main, is optional. Version 0.44.0-3ubuntu2 (yakkety), package size 142 kB, installed size 482 kB
[01:58] <lynorian_> that might extract some info
[02:06] <Ahmuck> k, i installed acroread 9 from precise
[02:06] <Ahmuck> and the display and print is ok.
[02:06] <wxl> doesn't mean it's a valid pdf
[02:06] <Ahmuck> i'll look into the display problem in envince later
[02:07] <Ahmuck> yes, it does not have to be valid, only has to display valid
[02:07] <Ahmuck> for a report
[02:08] <Ahmuck> would hplip make a difference?
[02:08] <wxl> that's for printing, so probably not
[02:10] <Ahmuck> thanks for the pointer to poppler utils
