I am running my LaTeX from the TexStudio GUI. How can I compile/export to PDF/A format? Is there an easy way to do it without converting through some external method?

I recommend the package https://ctan.org/pkg/pdfx. It has options to for various PDF/A-standards and I used it successfully on one of my projects. You should pay attention to the manual.



Edit:
Please read the fine manual (RTFM); there is not always free lunch in TeX. E.g. sections 1, 2.5: you could write a file jobname.xmpdata with the contents 



pdfxSetCMYKcolorProfileDir{/myDirectory/ColorSync/Profiles/}

setCMYKcolorprofile{PSO_Uncoated_ISO12647_eci.icc}

                    {PSO_Uncoated_ISO12647_eci}

                    {PSO Uncoated ISO12647 (ECI)}

                    {http://www.eci.org/en/start}


where your color profiles are installed in the directory mentioned above. You can download color profiles from http://www.eci.org/en/downloads.



You could also pay attention to Using pdfx with LuaLaTeX results in error.

    The pdfx manual in section 2.5 also says "Since most LaTeX users are not graphics professionals and are not particularly picky about colors, the pdfx package includes default profiles that will be included when nothing else is specified. Therefore, the average user doesn’t have to do anything special about color." Without specifying anything (this used to work until the most recent texlive update on Arch Linux), I'm now also getting the following error: "pdfx.sty:1301: No color profile found to use for RGB screen colors". Even when I try to specify icc files, the error remains.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
