my life experience and information that may help others find what they need

After upgrading to Kubuntu 9.04 and KDE 4.3, Quanta Plus was removed due to file dependencies not being met. To resolve the issue, perform the following steps (any 32 bit versions will need to find these packages built for 32 bit systems).

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17069296/kxsldbg_3.5.10-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17069294/kommander_3.5.10-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17069293/klinkstatus_3.5.10-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17069291/kfilereplace_3.5.10-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i k*.deb
sudo apt-get install quanta

Here is a copy of the email we sent out as an announcement to all friends and family members.

Read First, open the Attachment second No peeking! We mean it!

We recently received news that is going to not only change our lives but
likely everyone who is included in this email. Due to it we have had to
cancel future plans we had on weekends and even a wedding in December.

It’s hard to understand what news could be so good, err great, that we can
be excited about even if it means having to miss a wedding in December.
To find out you will just have to look at the attachment (yes, we give you
permission, go ahead and look…wait! Just kidding, go ahead and look).

After opening the attachment, please scroll down below and read the rest.

With this wonderful news, we want to give everyone the opportunity to
receive announcements from us during this time. We also want to be able
to give everyone the control of whether or not they receive announcements
from us, so please, if you want to receive them sign up at

Likewise, you can unsubscribe at your convenience too. Bonus points go to
the first person to figure out why we selected the From Address we did for
the announcement emails (you’ll understand when you get your subscription
confirmation email from us).

Feel free to forward this email to any friends, family members, etc. so
that they too may receive the great news and be given the option to
subscribe to our announcements.

Thanks all,
Kami, Matt, Spunky, and Baby Wilkin

For those wanting to support a local printer connected to their Linux system via RDP (Remote Desktop) connecting to a Windows server, here is a quick how-to.

1. First look up the Printer Name on your Linux box, it is best if it is a single word and under 20 characters. You can typically find this by opening a document, selecting Print and it should be the name in the drop down.
2. Next you will have a script that call rdesktop like so:
   rdesktop -r printer:<YOUR PRINTER NAME ON LINUX>="WINDOWS DRIVER NAME AS IT APPEARS IN ADD PRINTER" <YOUR SERVER IP ADDRESS>
3. Run the rdesktop script and login
4. Go to Printers and Faxes
5. Right-click on the Printer that matches your Linux printer’s name and choose Properties
6. Print a test page!
