I know there used to be a stickie for tech questions, but it being gone, I take it these questions are ok now? Sorry if not!
My old windows install suddenly gave me five BSoDs in a week, so I decided to move to Ubuntu. Some problems with that:
The first and third boots gave me REALLY dark screens. I could barely make out the menu items on white backgrounds. Rebooting while hitting fn + arrows in the bios (I’m on an emachines 527 laptop) seemed to work. Not sure yet if it’s the reboot or the early adjustment, though. Obviously, I’d love a more permanent solution.
My thesis is UGLY in LibraOffice. All of the formatting’s messed up. I had to redownload Garamond(No8) - will others still get it in Garamond, or do they need the same Garamond as me? Also, there’s two lines between all of my footnotes and my 49 pages have turned to 66 small ones. Any quick fix?
I downloaded Mendeley, but it seems it treats my notes and bibilography as text. I think I saved my EndNote library (.enl), but Mendeley doesn’t understand it. I’m open for any other good reference manager.
Much obliged for all answers!
It should appear in Garamond, but it’s best to send electronic copies as PDF if you want it to look good. You can change footnote settings in Format…Page and select the Footnote tab.
