openoffice hangs with 2.6 kernel

2005-12-11 Thread dzpost
I recently upgraded my kernel from 2.4 to 2.6.14, and now openoffice freezes whenever I try to open a document, or to start a new one. When I boot into the old 2.4 kernel, it works fine. Any suggestions? I tried looking through the list of openoffice bugs. I didn't see anything related, though

Can someone please explain the correct usage of /etc/modules.conf (in sarge)? In my modules.conf file it says: # Please do not edit this file directly. If you want to change or add # anything please take a look at the files in /etc/modutils and read # the manpage for update-modules. The conte

Many of the web pages I visit cause the browser to hang for significant periods of time (a minute or more in many cases). Until the page finishes loading, the window does not update, and mouse clicks have no effect. This happens with every browser I've tried (mozilla, firefox, galeon, ephiphany,

2005-08-17 Thread dzpost
I have a couple of machines which I'm in the process of upgrading to Sarge. I'm wondering about whether to upgrade the kernels. They're all running some version of 2.4, which I've built for the particular machines. If I don't get new hardware which need newer drivers, and I don't care about any

Are there net-install CD images for Woody still available somewhere? I found the floppy boot disk images, but not CD images. My /usr partition got hosed before I got around to upgrading to sarge. I'd like to reinstall woody so I can restore the system to its previous state before upgrading. The

apm problems after sid upgrade

2004-07-16 Thread dzpost
I'm running sid on an IBM T41 ThinkPad. Everything was working fine until I decided to do an 'apt-get upgrade' a few days ago. It seemed to go OK, but now when I try to resume after suspend, the system is frozen; the only thing I can do is power down. Waking up from standby mode (instead of susp

new gnome file selection

2004-07-07 Thread dzpost
I just started using sid, and I've run into the new gnome file selection interface. It's almost unusable: there's no way to enter an absolute path (or any path for that matter), and no way to go up in the file system, or to even see any dot files. Is there a way to change all this? It's horribl

Occasionally I've had an application lock up my system, apparently by eating up all the virtual memory. Just now I have a rogue MSWord document that makes Abiword go haywire. I thought to save the system by setting resource limits. I tried the bash builtin ulimit. Calling it with the -v flag, t

mozilla sans gnome = crash

When I'm running a plain X session (without Gnome), both Mozilla and Galeon crash at the drop of a hat. So much that they're virtually unusable. But when I run a Gnome session, everything is very stable. I'm using FVWM for both the X session and the Gnome session, but I've also tried other windo
