why ABIWORD?
Hello: With my i386 wheezy, a today update/upgrade led to libreoffice (text) not launching. I resorted to abiword, new in my experience. I found abiword in great troubles with tables made by libreoffice odt. Suddendly, abiword was able to destroy nearly completely the content of the big table. Should my experience be representative, it would be better not to propose text editors that are unable to do what they should.

If you value so much that feature and you really like the application,

Then move on :-)
But remmember this is very common for another programs. In Windows
systems, for instance, the login credentials of many applications remain
stored accessible from the registry so no gain here. In the linux
ecosphere, as I already mentioned (i.e., mutt, the ssl keys and another
one I remember is phpmyadmin when using a determined auth type), it
happens the same.
I wonder if a feasible approach to store credentials in clear text for
FileZilla would be using something like the gnome-keyring or a similar
implementation for the different OSes or linux boxes, although of course,
this would add additional drawbacks.

When that happens, run it from command line ("oowriter") and watch for

This can happen even from documents generated by LibreOffice and then
opened with OpenOffice, MS Word or even with a different version of
LibreOffice :-/

It would depend on the document complexity (tables, layers, used
objects...) but you can always report it so developers can find a fix for
it.

I find Abiword able to display some Word documents which LibreOffice cannot, and vice versa. I'd have to be fairly desperate to actually create a Word document with either, or even edit one. Don't forget, Word itself is extremely poor at maintaining document formatting across versions or even with a different printer selected. Word has never been a DTP application, despite large numbers of people thinking that it is. It is a document processor, designed to maintain the flow and order of large volumes of text with embedded tables and graphics, without much attention to layout. I'd use it to write a book, but not a CV. If someone demands a Word document, I would normally send an RTF file, which is somewhat more predictable and will open in any Word, and even then I'd use quite large margins. I do actually have a full Office 2007 on Windows 7, but there has to be money involved before I'll use it. I hate Word more than possibly any other piece of MS software, except perhaps Edlin (which is still part of Windows 7). -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I didn't. It's more that I dislike the attitude of some developers (in
general) saying that they don't have to care about uninformed users who
misconfigure their systems or even don't know how to protect themselves.
At least they should inform the user that saving passwords is insecure.

I like how MacOS handle this, nearly every application designed for
MacOS is using the built in Keychain. Of course, if the keychain tool
isn't secure this is a big problem.

If currently there's no indication in their docs about the settings are
being stored in clear text (login and passsword) you can open a wishlist
bug report at FileZilla site for that.
It's easy to blame devels (and forget the next day) but users can also
contribute with this little things.

That's similar to what GNOME keyring does and you can also use an
unsecure keyring by removing the passsord and exposing the stored
credentials as plain text but of course, that's up to the user and how he/
she wants to manage the login information.

Unable to install grub in mac mini server
Hi, I have a mac mini server (2011). I installed Debian one year ago and all was fine. I setup grub without problems, but some days ago the computers was rebooted and I cannot boot it. I tried to reinstall grub, but no success. This is the configuration: 1. Mac mini server has two disks: disk 1 (sda): 1: efi partition (original size, 210MB), fat32, "no flags" 2: /boot 200mb partition, ext2, "bios_grub flag" 3: md0 partition, ~rest of the disk "raid flag" disk 2 (sdb): 1: efi partition (original size, 210MB), fat32 "boot flag" 2: swap (8GB), "no flags" 3: md0 partition, ~rest of the disk, "raid flag" Partition tables use GPT. 2. I have refit installed. Refit boots and I can select the partitions,... 3. Mac OS X is not installed (see disk partitions) I can boot with usb drive and rescue disk, select it in refit, boot, mount the raid as md0 and chroot it. I can install packages, mount the partitions,... Full access. I tried a lot of things: 1. Reinstall grub2 2. Install grub in the EFI and boot it with rEFIt 3. Purge grub and reinstall it. 4. Grub installed in the partition, in the mbr... I got "GRUB loading." and stop. Or "GRUB" and stop. Any help is welcome. Is better use only grub without refit? When I run refit partition table sync the partition table changes from GPT to standard MBR and I am not sure if that is good. Is better use rEFIT? Thanks a lot.

If these are on partitions on a single disk then make sure that you don't writ this Ubuntu results to the MBR. You just need to regenerate grub.cfg for Ubuntu. Then do the same for Debian but tell grub to write to the MBR. If these are on separate disks then have the ubuntu update write to the boot partition on the disk that it is installed on. Then have debian write to the MBR. I expect that the MBR is on a Windows 7 disk that is mounted as your start up disk as Win7 does not play well elsewise. If possible & you have these on separate disks then change the boot sequrence in you system bios to have your Debian disk as the first boot disk. I have such a setup.

Re: gnome cannot start without kde
Any message printed in the screen? How does the loop look like, what are you getting (e.g., are you continously going back to the login screen)? exactly, yes You can boot in recovery mode and work from there, at least you will able to look at the logs (the interesting one should be the "~/.xsession- errors" file). But if i choose recovering regime of downloading there are no problem. I don't understand what you mean here :-? I can retrieve command prompt If I choose recovery mode in grub menu at booting time I want erase kde but I can not because after this erasing the loop mentioned above occurs. Which setting I should change and where for normal gnome starting? Reading xsession logs does not give me any idea about it.

No. Right, I wanted "grub-install /dev/sdb".
(Actually, I did want GRUB to install _part_ of itself to that
partition (it was a GPT bios_grub paritition), so that's why it seemed
normal enough that GRUB referred to "hd1,gpt1", but odd that it was
looking for a filesystem there.

I used to login desktop first and then ssh from laptop, Now since not be able to log in, how can I find its ip ? so I can connect from laptop. or shall I just find other monitor and connect? That seems to be the simplest solution, if you have a working monitor. So you have a working computer, but without monitor, and you want to know its IP-address? I assume your laptop is connected to the same router as the monitorless computer. I would have two suggestions. 1) Log into the router, and see what IP-addresses have been given out recently, and try connecting to them. 2) Install zenmap on the laptop, find the IP-address range the router uses (mine uses 10.0.1.*, most I have used use 192.168.0.* or 192.168.1.*). Run a quick scan with zenmap on that range of IP-addresses, and see which ones have an ssh-port open. Then try to connect to those.

Strange issue during boot
This may be a little OT, but I've tried other "more relevant" OS lists and not gotten anywhere. I recently updated all the computers I use on a regular basis from Ubuntu 10.10 to Xubuntu 12.04. To its credit, this boots up to a graphic of Debian, which is, after all, the underlying OS distro for all Ubuntu systems. The problem I'm seeing is that, on one of my machines, my work desktop specifically, at some point after grub starts up the right kernel, when the lightdm display manager is coming up, something kills it. I've looked in dmesg and the system logs, and there's a record of it getting killed, but not who is doing it. If I wait until this is apparent, usually about 30 seconds, then log in directly on a console and kick it off from the command line, everything is just fine. I usually run the machine continuously and only reboot it when the kernel changes or we have a power shutdown, so it's a minor annoyance, but it shouldn't happen at all. I've asked in both the Ubuntu and Xubuntu lists and no one has ventured an explanation, so I thought I'd ask here. One significant difference between my home desktop and my home laptop (which run fine) and my work desktop (which has this problem) is that the former two both run AMD CPUs (1 Phenom II x6, 1 Turion x2 I think) and the latter runs with dual quad-core Xeons (Intel), though I have trouble believing that this is sufficient to explain the problem. Any suggestions? I'm also going to join the lightdm list and ask there (egad - another user list with massive emails - sigh :-). Thanks.

I would rather suspect something related to Xorg (or whatever Ubuntu is using now). For Xorg I would check /var/log/Xorg.0.log *before* starting lightdm from the command line.

You could post any problems with 3rd party repositories to: Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic But I feel you'd be better off approaching the source of the problem.

I do actually have a full Office 2007 on Windows 7, but there has to be money involved before I'll use it. I hate Word more than possibly any other piece of MS software, except perhaps Edlin (which is still part of Windows 7). A friend used to send me files saved in .rtf from a MacIntosh, and a good fraction of those gave me fits, no matter what I tried to open them with. The problem was that the entire body of text would overflow the right-hand side of the page, losing some of it. Sometimes it would not open correctly in OO or LO, but open OK in WordPerfect, sometimes not. Since I have all three OO-type programs--OO, LO, and Symphony on the Linux machine, and WP on the Windows machine, most of the time I could open the file, but there were a few times not at all. Now I have him send the files in MS .doc for Mac, probably a version from the early 2000s, since he doesn't have the latest Intel Mac, and Symphony will open these without a problem. (Probably the other two OO-types would also.) I save files that I have edited in .doc format from Symphony, and his Mac reads them fine. I gave up on AbiWord. It wouldn't open those files either, and it has some other problems that I couldn't live with--I forget what. Symphony is not in my repos, but is downloadable in various formats for Linux and, I think, Windows. It has some gotchas also, but it mostly looks and acts "finished" which LO and OO do not. --doug -- Blessed are the peacekeepers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.

Reports of (Debian?) Linux kernel 2.6.32 livelocking when notified of leap second
Hello, Has anyone been seeing this sort of thing in the last 22-ish hours? http://serverfault.com/questions/403732/anyone-else-experiencing-high-rates-of-linux-server-crashes-today I've run adjtimex -p on all of my servers and they're all reporting status 17, which as far as I can tell means they've already been sent adjtimex()by ntpd and will add a leap second at midnight. As I understand the reports so far, the livelock would happen at the point where ntpd sends the adjtime(), soif they haven't locked already then they aren't going to.

Except in some very specific situations. Exemple : you want the box act as a bridge with some protocols (e.g. IPv6) and as a router with other protocols (e.g. IPv4, ARP). You do this by adding rules in ebtables' BROUTING chain.

Iceweasel quits on ^Q even when options and add-on say not to
