convert .skp file to .obj file without sketchup pro - ubuntu-14.04

I want to convert .skp models to .obj in ubuntu 14.04.
I have searched for any free version software for a good conversion.. but did not get any suitable answer and stuck here.
Any hint is most welcome...

Try to export in format file .DAE, import on blender and export .obj.
Another possibility is search an extension on Sketchup(In some versions, the extension not works).
PS: this is the easiest and cheapest way I found.

You may export to .DAE from SketchUp Make (the free version, for non-commercial purposes only) that runs on Wine (see winetricks sketchup for an auto-install!) and convert to .OBJ using the Assimp utils (e.g. assimp export Untitled.dae Untitled.obj).
Babel3D also provides a free plan for 3D format conversion, but I didn't test it.

How to convert osgjs format to obj or similar formats?

This question deals with how to convert .osg to .obj but I am using the WebGL version. The osgconv cant handle the .osgjs extention. I cannot find any tools with regular search.
Typing osgconv model.osgjs model.obj doesnt work.
The osgjs plugin is intended only for exporting osg scenes towards osgjs and as such supports only writing, not reading.
See implementation here.

Integrate ffmpeg to unity via plugin OS X and Linux

I need to use a ffmpeg wrapper (so we can use it in unity) for a lecture.
Unfortunately the teachers only provide a solution to do this for Windows.
They are referring to https://github.com/Ruslan-B/FFmpeg.AutoGen which we should use to generate a wrapper for our OS.
That's where my problems begin: I have downloaded ffmpeg via macport, but I have no idea what to do next?
They only provide the following information:
Run dump-expots.cmd to create exports map Run
FFmpeg.AutoGen.CppSharpUnsafeGenerator;
All files with extension *.g.cs in FFmpeg.AutoGen project will be regenerated.
dump-expots.cmd is clearly not useable on other OS than Windows.
I and also many of my colleagues would be very grateful to get tips how to create the wrapper on OS X and Linux.
One of my colleagues found a solution based on an answer in the unity forum:
http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/23615/how-to-make-unity-find-dylib-files.html
The trick is to install ffmpeg (MacPort/Homebrew) and rename the *.dylib files to *.bundle.
It is a really strange solution but it seems to work. changing the format of a picture and encoding a video worked just fine.

How to Crop Geotiff without GDAL using GUI based tool?

I need to crop Geotiff files without using command line GDAL. I am looking for a GUI based Geotiff or related file editor. I need to freely select any area to crop. I need to preserve lat long information so I can merge multiple Geotiff files. I would not mind converting Geotiff files to some other format and then crop and convert to Geotiff.
You need a desktop GIS. Qgis: http://www.qgis.org/ will do it along with a zillion other mappy things, or there's gvSIG, OpenJUMP, uDIG and others, see www.osgeo.org or search. Did I mention these are all free and open source?
Another idea is to use R, the statistics package. It can read in Geotiffs, plot them, allow selection from the graphics window, subsetting, and saving, but it is a programming language so a bit of typing is necessary. The process would be something like this:
r = raster("myraster.tiff")
plot(r)
bounds = locator(2) # you then click corners for cropping
c = crop(r,bounds) # might be 'extract' or 'mask' or something...
plot(c)
writeRaster(c,"clipped.tiff")
Excuse the vagueness.
For those who may be interested, we have started to work on an open source GUI utility, Rasterix, using GDAL and the Qt framework.
It can perform some of the tasks already implemented in several GDAL command line utilities for raster processing, but using a friendly graphical user interface.
The complete source code and the pre-built binaries for Windows, Linux and macOS are hosted on github at https://github.com/mogasw/rasterix.
We will add more features in the future, but should you be interested in something in particular, please let us know using github's issues.

Converting HTML to odt, doc, docx

Is there an easy way to convert HTML(with CSS styles and embedded images) to ODT, DOCX, DOC from the command line on linux server. I searched a lot but have not found a good option.
There was a problem the same way to convert to PDF, decided by wkhtmltopdf. Perhaps there are ways to convert the resulting PDF documents to other formats?
To convert to odt it's pretty easy after installing pandoc.
After the relatively hard part: from odt (or even html) you can script (Open|Libre)Office via e.g. unoconv
Or you can like:
abiword --to=doc filename.odt
Also see this thread, and this blog post.
HTH
If you want to convert HTML into docx you may use a solution like PHPDocX. You need to get the PRO version though because the free one does not include the conversion functionality.
If you're on ruby there is a gem based on libreoffice headless (with pyod/jod converter) and pdf tools.
Post with your issues to the pandoc GoogleGroup, John is very responsive in every way.
You may even find the latest release v1.9 may fix your problem, or maybe you just need to get to know the toolset in more detail.
I found soultion - is abiword in console variant.

xls to text converter

Anyone know of a free xls to text converter that can be run from the unix command line?
There is also the package catdoc (Ubuntu link) that includes a xls2csv utility.
A quick search of apt-cache turned up the Ubuntu package python-excelerator for excelerator, which includes py_xls2html, py_xls2csv and py_xls2txt utlities. Will this work for you?
Your question reminded me of anti-word. I looked up and found anti-excel. I have never used it, so I can't vouch for how well it work or whether it makes achievable the task you have at hand. Also, I remember using a utility called 'sc' on linux to created spreadsheets on the console---though, I do not know whether it is capable of interpreting XLS files.
I think gnumeric is better to convert document to csv http://xmodulo.com/2012/06/how-to-convert-xlsx-files-to-xls-or-csv.html
