Foxit

Warning: this program is not known to work on some versions (works fine for me on 32- and 64-bit 10.04

How to Install Foxit

Paste these commands into the terminal:

Download Foxit

Find the latest at http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/desklinux/download.html

wget -c http://mirrors.foxitsoftware.com/pub/foxit/reader/desktop/linux/1.x/1.1/enu/FoxitReader_1.1.0_i386.deb

Install the .deb

sudo dpkg -i FoxitReader_1.1.0_i386.deb

(or whatever version you've just downloaded)

If you've got a 64-bit machine, you'll need to:

sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture FoxitReader_1.1.0_i386.deb

n.b. -- this works fine for me, though I have installed a few 32 bit libraries.

Remove the original archive

After you test out that Foxit is working properly, you can remove the original .deb file you downloaded with the first command

rm FoxitReader_1.1.0_i386.deb

It should perhaps be noted that the 1.1 version of FoxitReader, which is the one for which 32-bit binaries are available (June 2011), does not have the annotation features of the current Windows version which is version 5.0. You are limited to viewing the pdf, copying text and making an image of the pdf which you can do with other native Linux pdf readers.

Sync under linux

Getting to know rsync

The basic syntax for rsync is simple enough -- just run rsync [options] source destination to copy the file or files provided as the source argument to the destination.
So, for example, if you want to copy some files under your home directory to a USB storage device, you might use rsync -a /home/user/dir/ /media/disk/dir/. By the way, "/home/user/dir/" and "/home/usr/dir" are not the same thing to rsync. Without the final slash, rsync will copy the directory in its entirety. With the trailing slash, it will copy the contents of the directory but won't recreate the directory. If you're trying to replicate a directory structure with rsync, you should omit the trailing slash -- for instance, if you're mirroring /var/www on another machine or something like that.
In this example, I included the archive option (-a), which actually combines several rsync options. It combines the recursive and copy symlinks options, preserves group and owner, and generally makes rsync suitable for making archive copies. Note that it doesn't preserve hardlinks; if you want to preserve them, you will need to add the hardlinks option (-H).
Another option you'll probably want to use most of the time is verbose (-v), which tells rsync to report lots of information about what it's doing. You can double and triple up on this option -- so using -v will give you some information, using -vv will give more, and using -vvv will tell you everything that rsync is doing.
rsync will move hidden files (files whose names begin with a .) without any special options. If you want to exclude hidden files, you can use the option --exclude=".*/". You can also use the --exclude option to prevent copying things like Vim's swap files (.swp) and automatic backups (.bak) created by some programs.

Maybe it comes a little bit too late, but I'll still give it a try...
Try to type :

Code:

locate kmix

You should find an autostart file :
/usr/share/autostart/kmix_autostart.desktop
which you can modify (or delete, maybe saving it first) in order for Kmix not to be launched with KDE.

No hyphenation patterns were loaded for the language

http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1972/no-hyphenation-patterns-were-loaded-for-the-language

You may have to install spanish language support for TeX on your operating system. For instance, on Debian or Ubuntu it means to install texlive-lang-spanish I guess.

Afterwards it may be necessary to rebuilt the format files, for instance by

fmtutil --all

at the command prompt or the package manager of your TeX distribution.

I suggest you add some information to your question regarding operating system and TeX distribution.

However, this topic in the UK TeX FAQ may help you: Using a new language with Babel. It deals with this warning message and shows ways how to fix that.
