Wow, thanks for this posting; but, your know how is beyond me; so, I just sent [EMAIL PROTECTED] this message. Attn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Repeatedly, OO 2.2 has froze while saving a document; often this happens just as I open and select a line or two for placing in another document or place it in an email for sending. Then, I have to spend hours and hours to resolve the glitch. Last night I said, "before going to bed, this is the latest response in the terminal mv: cannot move `/root/.openoffice.org2' to a subdirectory of itself, `/root/.openoffice.org2_backup/.openoffice.org2' what causes this?"
Yes, why does OO 2.2 easily freeze while saving? Once it happens, one can click Launch Run Command [terminal] & enter mv ~/.openoffice.org2 ~/.openoffice.org2_backup but even that cure begins to fail. So, what is the next step that one may take to get freed of this hinderance? The following insights sent me by DrHu on the Freespire forum, is beyond my brain power. Read from DrHu who says http://forum.freespire.org/showthread.php?p=105526#post105526 as follows: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ils/+bug/71174 mv --help Quote: mv --help Usage: mv [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST or: mv [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY or: mv [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE... Rename SOURCE to DEST, or move SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. --backup[=CONTROL] make a backup of each existing destination file -b like --backup but does not accept an argument -f, --force do not prompt before overwriting -i, --interactive prompt before overwrite --strip-trailing-slashes remove any trailing slashes from each SOURCE argument -S, --suffix=SUFFIX override the usual backup suffix -t, --target-directory=DIRECTORY move all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY -T, --no-target-directory treat DEST as a normal file -u, --update move only when the SOURCE file is newer than the destination file or when the destination file is missing -v, --verbose explain what is being done --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit The backup suffix is `~', unless set with --suffix or SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX. The version control method may be selected via the --backup option or through the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the values: none, off never make backups (even if --backup is given) numbered, t make numbered backups existing, nil numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise simple, never always make simple backups Report bugs to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. I believe this is an OO 2.2 bug that needs a general solution. Write me back if I can provide further clarification. The question surely is beyond my knowledge. Please help us. Thanks.
