This is probably a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway (I do that - you all know... :-). Due to a bug I found in OOo 2.0, I moved to using OOo 2.3, back when I was still running CentOS 5.0. Now that I have upgraded to 5.1, yum wants to update my OOo from 2.3 BACK to 2.0. Is it possible to get yum to recognize that 2.3 is newer than 2.0, or should I just exclude OOo from the updates? Thanks.

This morning I noticed that my (new in July) monitor was behaving strangely. At first, it was odd parts of web page graphics that didn't show up unless I scrolled up and down in the window, and then they weren't displayed with any consistency. Then I noticed that the screensaver failed to appear (computer was locked, but graphics never showed on the monitor). I tried running mplayer to

This occasionally happens to me when I've been editing an OOo document that resides on a flash drive I use with one of my laptops. I've tried poking around in ps to find out which process has the drive locked, and I can't figure it out. Nothing directly refers to the flash drive except one of the hald processes, and it's just scanning the drive (I tried killing that and it made

I have AT&T (formerly SBC) DSL for my primary internet connection here, and tonight it has been exceptionally, extraordinarily S - L - O - W.... Pages that normally load in, at most, seconds, are taking several minutes to locate, even common, frequent access pages like Google, Gmail, etc. I called AT&T, of course, and all they know about is IE, which, as you can probably guess, I rarely

A friend of mine here at work pointed me at this web page www.fhlcell.org where there are a lot of Chinese characters on the page. Interestingly enough, on my CentOS 5.2 system, with both Seamoneky 1.1.11 and Firefox 3.0, we were unable to get the characters to display properly (they showed up as the little four number boxes instead). However, on his Ubuntu system, using Firefox, they displayed

It has been suggested (elsewhere) that, to track down the nautilus problem I reported a while back, I need to install the nautilus debuginfo rpm. However, my yum can't find it. The only repositories I have set up on my machine are these: CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Media.repo kbs-CentOS-Extras.repo mirrors-rpmforge rpmforge.repo Do I need another one for debuginfo rpms? Thanks. mhr

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. I run CentOS 5.2 x86_64 on my workstation at home. Since 5.2 came out with nepluginwrapper bundled into it, none of my plugins work. I thought it was just a problem with the flash plugin, but neither the mplayerplug-in plugins nor the adobe acrobat reader plugin work, either. I have this problem both with the Seamonkey contributed 64-bit build

I am trying to open files on my Linux box from a windows share. I can browse to the directory, see the files, copy them to my computer, edit them, save them and copy the files back (using Nautilus). I can open a text file from the windows share with Gedit. I can not open a text file with Kate: error: The file or folder smb://pastor/SHARED FILES/text.txt does not exist. I can not open an .xls

In the process of doing something else, I happened to open the Network Servers window from the Places applet menu. When I did, it killed all my Nautilus windows on all my workspaces. (I had to experiment a little to prove this, but it did happen.) Is there an explanation for this and what? Thanks. mhr -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

For some reason, when I try to print any graphic PDF (or a PS file made from said graphic), it kills my Minolta 1100 laser printer, and I have to cancel the job, disable the printer and turn the printer off and on as many times as it takes to clear its buffer of the trash. I'm running CentOS 5.0 and have tried Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 for Linux; I have also tried printing the pdf to a file

Hi, yesterday I upgraded a centos 4.6 box via yum and now it seems that certain pages, especially swf files stopped working. Does anyone know if ImageMagick got broken on x64? I don't see any other package wich could have caused this problem. kind regards, Geert PS Below is the output of my yum update May 05 13:20:25 Updated: cups-libs.x86_64 1:1.1.22-0.rc1.9.20.2.el4_6.6 May 05

Hi, my company develops Windows applications and we are trying to get them to work correctly under Wine. We have two outstanding issues 1. Toolbars - the generic icons do not list (ie STD_DELETE). Currently posted under Bugzilla 2. We provide menu links to open a folder using the Win32 API command ShellExecute(hwndDlg, NULL, szFolder, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL); (szFolder is the folder

Is there a utility that compares files word by word, instead of whole lines or single bytes? I found that I can simulate this by replacing all the spaces in a file with linefeeds, then 'diff -B' the results, but that's kind of awkward and hard to read when differences that matter come up. (For the record, I tried using OOo's document comparer, converting to text and using diff,

Hi, I have a very odd issue - I cannot copy a large-ish (1.1GB) ISO file to a Samba share on a specific server, and having spent a couple of days on the issue, I'm running out of things to try, and I'm hoping for some suggestions. The destination system is an old P4 system on a Via based motherboard (P4MA Pro). It has two IDE disks, a Maxtor 40GB on IDE channel 1 as the system disk,

Has anyone else noticed this? I've been running a self-built, working 64-bit version of Seamonkey's 2.01a pre-release (alpha) version for the last six or seven months (because the "contributed" unofficial 64-bit build didn't work right and the official 32-bit release crashed all the time), and it's been working relatively well until recently, particularly in the area of

I sent a bug report to Mozilla about this, but I was hoping someone here might have an insight on this. I use SeaMonkey as my default browser (32-bit even though I'm running x86_64 CentOS 5.1), version 1.1.7. Shortyl after installing 1.1.7 on my 5.0 (and even since 5.1), I noticed that every so often, seemingly at random, although it appears most frequently when I click on something that

hi everyone, first of all i'm using ubuntu. i had the wine menu in the top of all other menus (inside Applications menu), and i dragged it on the bottom of the list under Applications menu (in the "Main Menu" editor), just where it was before deleting it involuntary, but it finished inside the Universal Access menu. then i opened application.menu file where i tried to take this
