i think a bug exists in the default cd dvd writer for ubuntu. where would i report that?it asked whether id like to use the third iso standard because the file was larger than 2 gigs, and i did, and the checksum failed at the end, reporting an error and confusing me for a few minutes.
View 3 RepliesIn Open Office Writer 3.2, is there any way that I can change the default "save as" "to" location from Documents folder to some other location (e.g., Desktop) in Lucid? I have looked thru everything I can find under tools>options, but I don't see anything that appears relevant.
Any command line deal I could do from terminal that might accomplish this?

am using slackware 13 and want to make Open Officeriter default when I click on a document. Currently when I click on doc it opens kwrite. Similarly when I click on an audio file it opens Gxine. I prefer MPlayer.

View 9 Replies View RelatedThe 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 RelatedAm 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.
I have the problem that whenever I write something it freezes up the window, my processor use rise to 100% and then it crash showing the OpenOffice.org crash-screen. This only happens in Writer and not Spreadsheets, Presentation refuses to start.

OpenOffice.org 3.2.0

[Code].....
Edit: Reinstalling the entire package and rebooting did not fix this issue.
In previous versions of Ubuntu and OpenOffice.org I could easily dock the navigator to the right or left side of the screen by simply moving it there. A faded outline would be created and it would snap into place. In 10.04, I can't do this. Does anyone know how to dock the navigator in OpenOffice.org?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn 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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI bought a new LG SuperMulti cd/dvd/rw. It came with a garden variety drive install disk for Windows. I threw that in the garbage and began a online and Ubuntu/ LG software driver search. This amounted to heresy since all I could find was "does'nt work for sh%t with Linux" and " no drivers found for this product". Strange thing when I put in a music cd it plays fine. When I pop in a dvd an icon appears on the desktop as if to prompt me to play it. When I double click or right click<open> it only shows files and when I go to run one of them a pop-up box say it does not recognize resource. I downloaded VLC tried, used Ubuntu default Mplayer but no good either. Tried AutoRun Prompt and even opening movie with Avidemux.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOpen 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.

I get this when I plug my BluRay writer into my Fedora 14 laptop. I am wondering how to write to it? I have 40G of company data that I want to write to it "As Data." How do I accomplish this?
In 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.
How 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?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter 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.
