Hardware :: Setup For An External Lite On DVD/Writer On Mandriva 2010?
Dec 1, 2010I have had Mandriva ( 2010 Mandriva now ) and or Mandrake for years. On two computers I have Ubuntu for family members set up. My problems is with my old 586 I got setup with Mandriva at home. I did an update on my computer and my DVD disappeared and is not recognized in HAL. Now my old dvd player in drive dev1 is recognized. However, my external USB drive disappeared and I can't seem to even get terminal to mount it. Maybe the dev I think it is is wrong. I can't get terminal to display for me the drive to set it up at all. Now My bios does recognize it and can boot from it, but no player or program recognizes it.

OpenSUSE :: 11.2 And KDE W/ OpenOffice Writer And Klipper?
Nov 28, 2009Open two different instances of OpenOffice Writer (two separate entries on the task bar). In one of them type the word test and highlight it and leave it that way. Now using the mouse pointer try switching between these two different OpenOffice Writers on the task bar. There shouldn't be much of a switching delay if any, going either way.
Now go to the OpenOffice Writer with "test" highlighted. Hit the <ctrl>C (copy) key about five times rapidly, then immediately click the mouse on the other OpenOffice Writer on the task bar. I am seeing up to a 5 second dead time delay between switching. There is no "busy" indication from the mouse pointer. The mouse pointer moves, but any clicks will not take effect during the 5 second delay, then any mouse clicks quickly take effect in a cascade after the delay is over.
Sometimes Klipper looses the <ctrl>C (copy) "test" text (Klipper still displays it its history) and refuses to <ctrl>V (paste) "test" any longer. When Klipper reaches this state a single <ctrl>C (copy) of "test" will cause the up to 5 second delay when switching.
The delay is only noticeable if you immediately switch on the task bar. If I do the copies and simply wait at least 5 seconds before switching, there is no delay. So, the switching itself isn't the cause.
I have reproduced this on PCs in a 32 bit 11.2 install and a 64 bit 11.2 install. Both installs are KDE 4.3.3 release 3 repos. Either this long delay shouldn't be happening or the mouse should at least do its busy indication thing and not act like everything is normal when it isn't.

Software :: OpenOffice Writer Prints Only A4
Apr 27, 2010In spite of the fact that the printer set-up is working with the Gimp and other more involved print-capable programs.
The printer is a Dell 3100cn color laser printer.
The best driver I found was one I got off of Dell's site - it was an RPM that I aliased (I'm using Debian lenny).
I set Openoffice Writer's printer configuration to "letter."
I check the settings in the print pop-up before I print.
And then the printer asks me for A4 paper.
Software :: Pages In OpenOffice.org Writer ?
Dec 14, 2008How do I make it so that when I add lines to a page, it doesn't make the text on the next page move further down? I'm trying to make sure my sections will start on the same page as I typed them when a Windows user opens the Word document (which is what I will be exporting this as) in their Microsoft Office. I'm using OpenOffice.org 2.4.1 on Ubuntu 8.10.

Nov 29, 2010After my last online system update, ubuntu 10.10.1 (pre-release) now crashes and the last thing written to the screen is "starting nbd client service" so I am trying to burn a copy of the new 10.10 final DVD on my Suse 11.2 install to try to recover or reinstall ubu.
With a stock install of suse 11.2/64 bit, k3b does a system config probe and finds 'no cd/dvd writer found'. My writer worked fine on the now-comatose ubuntu.
If I put in an ubuntu 10.10.1 cd, it finds it and mounts it:
Brasero just says that there is no available disk. When I insert the black cd, I see the popup telling me that there are 2 choices to handle the disk, one of them is k3b. Then k3b says that there are no cd/dvd writers found.
I read some fixes about adding me to the CDROM and DISK groups, but I don't have either.
Now, it won't eject either with the button or with the eject command:
It's an LG blu-ray burner. It is my primary boot device and I have used it to boot to and load many iso images.
Time for the old paperclip trick...
I would hate to have to load the same buggy beta system and have it crash again after the next update.
Now, my blu-ray drive is dead. I tried putting a blank dvd into my old burner and I get the same k3b error message.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: K3B In HAL Free - 11.3 - No CD/DVD/BD Writer Found
Apr 8, 2011I have been trying to make a HAL free openSUSE 11.3 build in suse studio for some time now. The problem is, I keep getting a K3B system configuration problem: No CD/DVD/BD writer found. I have been researching on the problem for almost a week and I can't seem to find a solution. I have also been reading about the packages that took over HAL's functionality. My system is mainly Gnome but I have included K3B as I consider it a superior solution to brasero.
Here is a brief overview of my system:Gnome 2.32 from Gnome Factory.
KDE 4.6 from KDE Stable.
K3B 2.0.2-8 from Packman.
Udev, Udisk, Upower and Media-player-info as HAL replacements.
Kernel 2.6.38 from Kernel Stable.
Latest Xorg.
First Question: I'm I missing any packages that provide some form of HAL's functionality? How were SUSE engineers able to achieve a HAL free openSUSE 11.4?
When I excluded HAL from the selected software packages, I recieved no errors. I'm guesing it's because of the updated KDE.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Spell Check Broken In Oo 3 Writer?
Feb 12, 2010The spell checker on my installation of open office 3.0 writer in Ubuntu 9.04 amd64 doesn't work. I have been through the options route, following the buit in help and set to english. That didn't work. I have been online, using the link from inside the program, and put a new version of the dictionary on my desktop and added it and that didn't work either. I have also reinstalled the whole thing via synaptic and that didn't work either. Using abword in the meantime but would rather have open office working again. In all three cases the gui seems to think all is well but when I check a page of garbage words am told that the check is complete. I can not use the enable tab as writer seems to think that the dictionary is present and enabled anyway. Does anyone know what may be wrong in my setup or have a fix for this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Openoffice Writer - Tracked Changed?
Apr 19, 2010Am having issues with compatibility b/w OO Writer and MS Word. I desperately need to use track changes, and would love to abandon MS Word altogether. However, using OO Writer, any tracked changes I make to MS Word documents do not translate well. In MS Word, the changes are there (I can view the initial document, and the final document), but there is no way to see the combination (i.e, a marked up copy).
Can anyone tell me whether this is normal, or whether it is just me? Once I get comments and tracked changes working perfectly, I should be able to switch completely. But until then, I must stick with MS for work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: OpenOffice Writer Capitalizes Value In Cell
Mar 24, 2011In my table, whenever I enter true or false in any cell, Writer changes it to all Caps, so true becomes TRUE and false becomes FALSE. Now I did not set the cell type to BOOLEAN. If I do Format > Change Case > Lowercase it changes, but reverts to all caps the next time the document is opened. I have checked autocomplete, autocorrect, table number format but seem to change this behaviour.
