So just open a terminal, type libreoffice, press enter and post what you get then.

Considering that a program like Skype works, as well as networking, seems to indicate something more along the lines of an install gone bad or incomplete. More information would be required to determine what the real problem is, but it initially sounds like some gui-related library or icons are missing or corrupted. Skype, for example, uses a completely different gui toolkit than what *Ubuntu* and *Unity* use, which may explain why it opens and others do not.

He reported the livecd session was fine. I don't know if his "expert" helper knows anything about Linux. Earlier this week a relative in London was advised by his "expert" that he needed more memory as the system had used it all up - brought a wry smile on my face and I had to explain the situation. Difficult to get meaningful information from a newbie in the USA and I'm in the UK. I suspect there is something missing. When he next tries a reinstall I'll ask him to write down any error messages.

Hi, I have the Dv7 version of HPs offering and although PCLInuxOS 2010.12 installed and ran with no problems 2011.06 would not even install. I then,yesterday, tried the LXDE version and I could get that installed and working. It gave options on start up that 2011.06 did not. Any way I now have a working system, although I am wondering about updates?? Could you try another version of Ubuntu to try and get a stable install,and then try ugrading,Live, to get the version you want/need?

This has the 2 graphic cards (ATI and Intel integrated) so the switching thing is/was a headache. With ATI drivers it is working reasonably well though. Earlier version than 10.10 do not work, I tried. To me your friend's problem sounds like a botched installation.

If you haven't already, have you tried saving the document with a different name? Also running the program with sudo or even kdesudo can possibly create permissioins problems for the files and configurations the program uses. There is never a need in the vast majority of cases to run a spreadsheet application with admin permissions. If you can save with a different name or to a different location, that could indicate a permissions problem with the file(s) But to the question at hand, you simply uninstall all the libreoffice packages, though removing these 2 should also remove all the others as well: sudo apt-get remove libreoffice-core libreoffice. then go and download openoffice from their website http://download.openoffice.org/other.html look for the deb download link for either 64 or 32 bit as you require or perhaps give the just-released 3.4.1 of LO a try: http://www.libre-software.net/how-to-install-libreoffice-on-ubuntu-linux- mint -- Clay Weber http://kubuntuforums.net http://ubuntumaine.org http://emacdogsports.com From anj.tuesday at gmx.net Tue Jul 5 14:44:07 2011 From: anj.tuesday at gmx.net (Anj Tuesday) Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2011 16:44:07 +0200 Subject: name of sound device file?

I've moved all this to an Arch computer instead, since they still support OSS applications via the snd-pcm-oss module.

Before I can get it working with cups I need to install Canon bjnp support so that cups can actually see the wireless networked printer, where do I get the package that provides this support for Ubuntu 11.04? Once I get the bjnp support I need to install the latest version of gutenprint that has support for this printer. According to linuxquestions.org, gutenprint has support for this printer, but Mandriva 2010.2 which is using the same version of cups as Ubuntu 11.04 is only has support for up to the Canon-Multipass-MP970, hence where can I get an Ubuntu deb package to install the version of gutenprint that provides the Canon-Multipass-MP990 driver? regards, Steve -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Alternatively, if you use Amarok or banshee, etc, you can also try using the "MTP' mode. But the device will still work with Amarok in MSC mode, though you might have to specify which folder to drop the files into. But MSC will *always* work, whereas MTP may depend on the software you use on how trouble- free it is. I have used both modes successfully with my clip+, that is until I dropped the little thing into a glass of water :( I replaced it with a Fuze+, which for me was a mistake. The touchpad control is flaky at best and scratched almost immediately. I would recommend those looking at these to either go with the cheaper clip+ or find an original Fuze (not a '+') online. I am a Sansa fan, but the fuze+ is not worth the pretty interface and relative ease of browsing files. -- Clay Weber http://kubuntuforums.net http://ubuntumaine.org http://emacdogsports.com From rjlapham at gmail.com Wed Jul 13 06:52:15 2011 From: rjlapham at gmail.com (Jerry Lapham) Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2011 02:52:15 -0400 Subject: Sandisk sansa clip+ mp3 player In-Reply-To: <201107122339.21075.claydoh@claydoh.com> References: <201107122312.40500.rjlapham@gmail.com> <201107122339.21075.claydoh@claydoh.com> Message-ID: <201107130252.15472.rjlapham@gmail.com> On Tuesday, July 12, 2011 11:39:20 pm Clay Weber wrote: > You will need to change the device's USB settings from the default > 'Auto' to 'MSC', which will make it show as an external drive.

My trial of Kmail2 was mostly ok, no crashes or anything major. Even the migration tool did a fairly good job.

And at that point it's too late, I can't enter any commands or do any key presses :( I was kinda hoping that there'd be a log somewhere that I could look at to see what was going haywire when the system went down. But, having said that, the system has to do down with a wallop (power down) as I can't log out or do a reboot. I have a sneaky suspicion that it's LibreOffice. A couple of times (not all the times though) it's been loaded when it went wonky...

The hard d rive was bogged down by this, bringing everthing to a crawl just as you desescribe. I believe this happend to me in Natty. I fixed it by adjusting the swappiness settings as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#What is swappiness and how do I change it? Now, I have since done a clean install, and there has been a kernel update since the last time i had this problem, but I have not had the slowdown in some time, and I have not adjusted the swappiness either.

There's been some renaming going on as far as I can see. As long as you use some GUI like aptitude to force your needs on this so called "conflict *resolution* algorithm" you should be fine. What I did was to go to the summary screen in aptitude and mark the old packages to automatically installed so it would pick the new ones. Akregator, etc. are still here and working fine. --Reinhold From o.sinclair at gmail.com Sat Jul 30 12:41:11 2011 From: o.sinclair at gmail.com (O.

That monitor that died some time ago and I replaced it with a Dell ST2210 which has a 1920x1080 resolution. The problem is that the current displayed screen is still at the 1280x1024 and does not fill the screen horizontally and the "Systems Setting" program "Monitor&display option" does not allow me to select the higher resolution. Question: is there any way to fix this problem and allow full screen use of the ST2210 monitor's screen size?

As for level upgrade, I hate the thought of going through the horrors of the multitude of software that would need to be traced down to upgrade. By and large, the old girl still cranks along reasonably well in spite of the old version. :-) I had the idea from somwhere that there was some form of /etc/def file that could be changed to reflect a monitor change. -- "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful." --- Seneca From bmarsh at bmarsh.com Sun Jul 31 18:37:52 2011 From: bmarsh at bmarsh.com (Bruce Marshall) Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2011 14:37:52 -0400 Subject: Problem changing monitor In-Reply-To: <201107311321.37127.geraldi.evenden@gmail.com> References: <201107311257.32800.geraldi.evenden@gmail.com> <201107311308.05609.bmarsh@bmarsh.com> <201107311321.37127.geraldi.evenden@gmail.com> Message-ID: <201107311437.52513.bmarsh@bmarsh.com> On Sunday, July 31, 2011, Gerald I.

The output of "file /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig that you queried about with "Look in /usr/bin   for commands that start with nvidia... Such as  nvidia-xconfig   or nvidia-settings Either one of those might help." BTW: I did download a program called displayconfig-gtk. It did not list an entry for DELL SD2210 but Dell manual lists it as a "plug-n-play" in their online manual. I tried that option but it would not list a 1920x1080 screen selection---only a 1920-1200.

It should make you a new file in /etc/X11 The file that needs to be changed (lots of luck doing it manually) is /etc/X11/xorg.conf which isn't used anymore (or as much) in later systems since they do most of the configuring on the fly. So nivida-xconfig should build you a new file.
