This has probably been asked before and if it has, I'm sorry, I just don't have time to search for it right now. I have a bunch of times that are in .tar format, and need to be made into .tar.gz. How do I do that? I really don't want to go through and manually compress each and every one, because there's a lot of them!

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if anyone has figured out how to turn off the file locking in openoffice 3.2. I have been searching the net for solutions, trying out the fixes, and as of right now I have not been able to find a way to stop the creation of lock files.
I have tried editing both /usr/bin/soffice and /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice as described in the links (below), but this has not helped.

I have tried to write my files to 2 (2GB each) USB sticks and both turned into a Read-Only-File-System. Then I tried with my Memory Stick Duo and it also turned into that.

I can copy the files of those portable storages into my HDD fine but not write into them or delete any files inside those portable storages.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been dual booting my XP and Ubuntu for a while now. However, my pc monitor does not turn on until I am booted into windows/linux. This means I have to 'guess' to a certain extent which OS to select on boot (using GRUB). I expect I will have to change a setting in the BIOS but I am not too sure what to look out for.
After turning on my pc I have to restart it for it too do anything, it appears to just hang!However as I cannot see what is happening due to the monitor problem I am completely in the dark as to why it would do this/what is going on! I have XP installed at the front of my hard drive and Ubuntu at the back. It worked ok the first time I tried it after install (still had the monitor problem but was able to guess) then after that this random problem!
