OpenOffice and Scalable Graphics

I've been working on a document for an RPG I'm designing, and I want to embed a diagram into the document.  Problem is, OpenOffice.org Writer won't let me embed svg files into my documents.  Dia, which I've been using to create the diagram, doesn't export to any of the vector graphics formats that Writer is able to embed.  Even worse, OpenOffice.org Draw can't import any of the vector graphics formats that Dia can export.
What do I do?  I don't want to use raster graphics, because they don't look very nice when they're scaled.

Well, I opened the SVG file in scribus, and it didn't import correctly.  I also tried opening it in Konqueror, to see if I could export it to postscript, and my entire system slowed to a snail's pace.  Konqueror slowly rendered the image as a series of gigantic letters, laid on top of one another.  It seems that Dia can only output broken SVG files, so I'll need to find a different method.

  • T520 - 42435gg / Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance with Intel Rapid Storage AHCI Driver

    Hi everybody,
    I have serious Problems with my 42435gg
    Any time I install the Intel Storage AHCI Driver (I've tried plenty of different versions) which is suggested by System Update I experience a horrible Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance in Windows 7 64-Bit.
    The funny thing in this case: If the external e-sata port is connected the problems do not occur. If the port is unused again, the stutter begins immediately.
    The only thing I can do is using the Windows internal Storage Driver with which I am not able to use my DVD recorder for example.
    The device was sent to lenovo for hardware testing with no result. It was sent back without any repairing.
    Anybody experience on this?
    Kind regards,
    Daniel

    Did you try the 11.5 RST beta? Load up DPClat and see if DPC conditions are favorable.
    What are you using to check graphics performance?

  • HP Envy 15 Graphics Problem with Windows 8.1 (Intel and NVidia Graphics). Help!

    I bought an HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j013ea about 6 months ago and I have had a major problem with the graphics that I cannot seem to solve. I think it started when I updated to Windows 8.1, even though I am not 100% certain.
    I have noticed the following three problems, and I think they are related:
    Some windows (such as Chrome, Skype, or even Device Manager or other windows) are very blurry compared to others.
    The firefox menu window has some deformed black arrows instead of the normal ones.
    When playing a game (specifically, Star Wars the Force Unleashed 2), after a while I get an error that the computer has ran out of memory. However, according to task manager, only about 50% is in use, not to mention that I have 8 GB of RAM + 2 GB graphics memory. At the same time, the computer gets rather loud (like a fan working overtime) and hot.
    The laptop has both Intel and NVidia graphics, and both are enabled in Device Manager. To be honest, I have no idea which is used when, or how to check that (let me know if there is a way)
    I have tried the following without success:
    Uninstalling the Intel graphics driver from device manager and installing a version I downloaded from the HP website for my laptop and OS. After that, Windows would NOT BOOT, and I had to do a system restore.
    Uninstalling the Intel graphics from Programs and Features, and installing 2 different versions from the Intel website. Nothing changed.
    Updating Nvidia driver through GeForce Experience. Nothing changed.
    Updating Intel drivers from Windows Update. Nothing changed.
    Quite frankly I am not sure what the problem could be, since the graphics versions are supposed to be compatible with WIndows 8.1. I also don't get why some windows are blurry and others are not. I am thinking the computer uses only the Intel graphics and not the Nvidia (at least in the blurry windows), but even if that was the case (and it shouldn't be), I don't think I should be having this problem.
    At this point, I really need help. My graphics details are:
    Intel HD Graphics 4600: Driver version: 10.18.10.3412
    NVidia GeForce GT 740M: Driver version: 335.23
    NVidia GeForce Experience version: 1.8.2
    I am attaching screenshots that show driver details and the problems.
    Thank you.
    Blurry Chrome:
    Firefox menu problem:
    Device Manager and driver windows are also blurry, both graphics are shown

    I had a similar problem with a Dell laptop.  I found the problem was the laptop wanted to switch between the Intel and NYIDIA video cards.  It would switch to the Intel when high graphics was not required then to the NIVIDIA when high graphics was required.  The laptop does this to save power when high graphics is not required but it caused problems with some applications, specifically high graphics games.
    For me the solution was to disable the Intel graphics processor.  You can do this by right clicking on your Wallpaper, select the NIVIDIA Control Panel, then select Set Physx Configuration.  You will see a dropdown box labeled Select Physx Processor.  It is set to Auto by default.  This allows the switching I described. Select this dropdown box and select your NIVIDIA processor.  This will prevent the laptop from switching and force it to use your NVIDIA processor exclusively.
    Hope this helps.

  • ADF business components and scalability ?

    Hello,
    I am new to the ADF Framework, I come from an open source background.
    I have a limitation to use Oracle technologies for an internet banking design.
    My concern is the large number of users accessing the system and how we scale up through clustering.
    Do you recommend ADF business components for this application, can ADF be simple POJOs handlers or EJB 3.0 session facades ? if that is the case, would you recommend EJB 3.0 for clustering and scalability for an internet banking system.
    Any guidance is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply, I will read the document, however,
    If I try to compare ADF to other frameworks, creating BCms as POJOs would take advantage of the Apache clustering(web tier, same as Tomcat clustering in Jboss), there is no need for OC4J services of the 10gAS, on the other hand, if I go with EJB3 stateless session beans BCms then i would need 10g OC4J container and its clustering capability(AS clustering).
    Your time is appreciated and please respond only if you time, i will go through the doc.

    If I use the xf86-video-intel driver from extra, the xrandr command to do dual-outputs fails and I get both monitors showing the same desktop (mirrored mode).  I switched to use AUR's xf86-video-intel-git (reading the forums it said this would fix the dual-monitor issue until extra moves to 2.12.0-2) and I do get the dual monitors working propery with the xrandr command, but I'm experiencing wierd effects.  For every unminimized window on the desktop, if I put another window in front, the shadow of the window below stays on top of the window containing the focus.  Hard to explain, so I'll use a photo:
    That's what it looks like with xf89-video-intel-git, libdrm-git, dri-git, and anything else git and intel graphics related I can find.  Any ideas what's wrong, or what I would even call this problem so I can look around and see if anyone else is having the same issues?

    Ok, I went into the XFCE4 setting manager and opened the "Window Manager Tweaks" module, Under "Compositor" if I disable display compositing the shadowing effect is gone, making the display much more usable (thanks!).  But now compositing does not work.  Guess I'll go report this to XFCE, or is the XFCE compositing manager handled by someone else?

  • Apache openoffice and libreoffice

    I have seen that Oracle has given openoffice to the Apache foundation. One question I have is if the libreoffice fork still necessary. It was my understanding that Oracle prevented good development of openoffice and claim too much control. But now? What's the main reason to keep to have two versions?

    olive wrote:
    Lone_Wolf wrote:Apache Openoffice appears to target enterprise and business users, while libreoffice focuses more on individual users.
    They also use different licenses, so i doubt the 2 will merge again.
    You may be right but I can't prevent me to think that this is sad. How business users can be so different to individual users in regards of an office suite? (M$ sell basically the same office suite to both clients, apart some differences that do not justify a new product). As for the license, do we really need two projects for that? The LGPL as well as the apache license allows proprietary linking...
    I wonder if Linux distributions (and archlinux in particular) will now ship openoffice again. I thought after the fork that Libreoffice will have been just the continuation of openoffice while openoffice itself will die (recalling the Xorg fork of Xfree86). But now? We can't just say that the Apache foundation do everything wrong as we may have said with Oracle.
    The distros didn't all ship with OpenOffice before; Ubuntu and OpenSuSE both shipped with go-openoffice. Anyway, the OpenOffice brand took a pretty big hit, so I don't see any distros switching back.
    As far as licensing is concerned, Microsoft does make different versions of Office - Student, Professional, etc., targeting different segments. Feature segregation won't really apply here, so I am also not sure I buy the enterprise-consumer split either.

    Anyone know why this behavior changed and how to fix it? Obviously being able to open attachments by double clicking is very handy. I don't even know if it's Thunderbird's fault or Openoffice's fault at this point.

    Thanks! It looks like Ubuntu comes with most of the stuff I need
    already on the image. Since you are an Eclipse user, is it safe to
    assume that Eclipse runs ok on it as well?

    I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
    Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
    The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
    Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:
