Paste symbolic link in KDE / Dolphin

Apparently there is no built in keyboard shortcut or right click menu option to do this, but you can hold down Ctrl+Shift while dragging and dropping.

Linux PDF editing

For years I've had the occasional need to edit/modify/annotate PDF's and haven't been happy with options on Linux. This surprises me since Linux seems to be much more PDF friendly than Windows.

I just now realized that LibreOffice is a PDF editor, and seems to do a pretty darned good job of it.

I don't know how I missed it all these years, but here's hoping it fills the bill next time I need it.

Unable to print to samba printer

Two times I have had to figure out why my network printer suddenly stopped working only to find out its because.... my root filesystem is full....

The issue appears to be the inability for cups to write to /var/spool/cups folder (due to lack of space)

A quick "df -h" reveals the filesystem to be full, I freed up 3 to 4 gig by simply clearing the pacman cache and problem solved.

The solution came from reading this post on bbs.archlinux.
