Whenever I download a .doc file I send to myself and open it in OpenOffice via Ubuntu 10.04, it opens as a read-only that I "do not have the rights" to alter. This is obnoxious, because then I have to copy and paste the entire thing, which can lead to format issues, before I can continue to work on the document.
View 4 Repliesafter the netinst finished to download the last package, one hour later the process never continues, I checked the log file and I didn't find anything suspecious, also dmesg and nothing, in fact, in the log file before checked I found that the last line was registered just a minute ago - DHCP renew IP-, so my questions are:
1. all the packages downloaded are gone?, can I restart the installation using all those packages downloaded?
2. where I can find the error or problem that cause that the installation was freezed?
3. in the case that installation needs to start from the beginning, can I use the package downloaded?

I have Adobe Acrobat installed in Ubuntu 9.10 and want to print out PDF docs through Adobe reader. I want to use 'Reader because it allows me to do multiple pages on one sheet. BUT Adobe does not let you print to file a PDF. HOW can I set that up.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm relatively new to Ubuntu 9.10, and have encountered a problem downloading anything. Here's the recurring error message my terminal displays:
Setting up sun-java6-doc (6.20dlj-0ubuntu1.9.10) ...
This package is an installer package, it does not actually contain the
JDK documentation. You will need to go download one of the
archives:
jdk-6u19-docs.zip jdk-6u18-docs.zip jdk-6u19-docs-ja.zip jdk-6u19-docs-ja.zip
(choose the non-update version if this is the first installation).
Please visit url now and download.
The file should be owned by root.root and be copied to /tmp.
I tried finding these at Oracle/Sun/Java, and can find no such archive ".docs." Can anyone help me find these or something else that will work instead?

Keyboard and sometimes mouse stops functioning whilst using oowriter - it only happens with writer. I lose control for up to 30 secs and then it comes back - but it keeps happening. This is on a 10.10 machine with standard install. I have changed keyboard from wireless to wired and back to wireless with new batteries. I have uninstalled Office, rebooted and re-installed but it is still happening on native odt docs. Is this a common recent issue?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI noticed that files that were written in MS Word 2003 change when opened in Open Office 3.2.1 This usually involves tables, lists, and image placement, as well as page margins and boundaries. It sometimes makes it annoying when reading files saved in MS Word .doc format that other people send me. Does anyone know if there is an extension to fix this? Or settings that can be changed? Also, was this addressed in version 3.3.0 of OpenOffice? Has anyone tried it on LibreOffice? I don't want to install VirtualBox, Windows, and Office to read Word files properly. I dislike MS.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThere are several package types in synaptic. -doc. Obviously, these are docs. They go into /usr/share/doc folder. Is there some sort of GUI for viewing and searching docs, something like MSDN?
-dev. Not exactly sure about these ones. Are these development files (binaries, source code etc) for coders/developers who want to work on that particular project?
-dbg. Not sure about these ones too. Debug versions of binaries? Shouldn't they be included with development files? Let's be more specific.
libstdc++6. This has runtime for applications compiled with C++.
libstdc++6-4.5-dev. Needed to develop and compile those applications.
libstdc++6-4.5-dbg. Needed to debug applications which use binaries from libstdc++6.

I couldn't find the kernel docs that go with 13.1. These docs would be the result of running this in the top-level kernel source dir.

I have managed to work out how to use remastersys to create a Custom.iso LiveCD.
Can anyone advise how I can transfer a folder of documents, so they are included in the custom.iso?
I tried to put a new folder/docs inside the 'examples' folder, which shows up on the Desktop of LiveCD users, but this 'examples' folder is write-protected.
I have realized that in not installing suggested packages I've missed out on a ton of doc files, which would really come in handy while I'm away from internet access.
Is there a way take a list of currently installed packages and find out which of them have doc packages available? Possibly install them in a single step? I have been playing around with aptitude and apt-rdepends, but I'm not quite sure how to go about this. Somehow take a list of installed packages, run it through an apt-cache search, and end up with a list of -doc packages to install? My bash-fu isn't the greatest, and I suppose this could be a bad idea to begin with.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my graduate professional writing program, I have had to make several documents that integrate graphics. In order to manage the graphics, I taught myself how to use frames. But I discovered that the Openoffice.org word processor has a problem saving the frames correctly. I save my document and close it. When I reopen it later, the graphics in some of the frames (not all) are distorted; they appear cut in half. Examining the frames, I determined that the anchors of the affected frames had changed since I saved and closed. Changing the anchors back to whatever they were restored the graphics to normal. Every time I saved and closed, this happened again. The first solution I came up with was to save with the frames set properly, and export the document as a PDF file; the frame anchor settings will not mess up for that.
Then, because I save my school documents as Word files (the university--that program, anyway--doesn't use Linux), I tried saving the document as an OpenOffice text document (.odt). That also avoided the frame anchor settings problem, meaning the problem occurs only when saving as a Word document. But since my professors probably don't use OpenOffice, I am submitting PDF documents in this situation.
KWord won't save as .doc format on Slackware 13.0 so I got the SlackBuild for OpenOffice and changed my .odt resume to .doc. But now yahoo won't attach it, it says it has a virus. Wtf? (I don't really think it has a virus.)

On boot, udev is giving a mount error. It appears to not have control of the /dev directory. This was finally traced to bad kernel compile, but some questions remain. Bogus information has been removed.
The kernel was built with tmpfs (CONFIG file had CONFIG_TMPFS, compiled kernel probably did not, this has been fixed.)
My system runs, probably because there is a valid /dev directory tree copied from the original 2.4.31 system.
After boot, I am getting 3 udevd running, according to "ps -A".
After re-executing /etc/rc.d/rc.udev I see only one udevd at a low id number (625).
Previously I had 2.4.31, which had udev and it was mounting using ramfs.

I have been running Slackware since 1996. This is Slackware 13.1, running on a Sempron/Athlon K8, VIA chipsets. I have been fighting with this install for 2 weeks now. If I have to I will disable udev and live with a /dev directory that I setup by hand.
If udev does not have a tmpfs over the top of /dev, does it use the /dev on the harddrive or does it just fail some other way ?
I'm after something simple to use similar to the XP fax client/fax printer. Hylafax seems an overkill. HPlip app seems to expect an HP printer/scanner or fax machine. Is it true that hplip is an HP exclusive? I'm using opensuse 11.2 with kde 4.3.1, but I would consider gfax. Gfax is not on my DVD. The docs for that on the hylafax site stop at 2008. Is an up to date Gfax a possibility? I see most of the hylafax posts in the archive get redirected to the hylafax website. I've been thru most of that stuff, but much it's out of date. Hylafax seems to be the basis for other apps.
I'm signed up for the Hylafax-user list, but I didn't see any hylafax archives to browse thru. If you are still with me here, I have an opensuse 11.2 with a dial-up internet. From the DVD I installed from I installed hylafax-4.4.4-19.3.i586 and client. That install load a bunch of fax tools at places the hylafax docs don't expect. Besides that their docs only go up to opensuse 10.2, tho there is some stuff or enterprise suse.
