AOO Writer - Line Spacing icons

2024-04-03 Thread Dean W
Dear all,

On my copy of AOO Writer the icons for 1.0 and 1.5 line spacing seem to be
transposed. I have 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 line spacing in my toolbar, and the gap
for 1.5 (on the icon) is smaller than the gap for the 1.0 line spacing (on
the icon). Line spacing works as otherwise intended, except the icons seem
to be incorrect.

Here's the link to the picture, with the 1.5 line spacing selected,

styles, formula, modify, standard, ok - breaks style of formula

2024-01-17 Thread Dean W
dear devs,

I have also found that by modifying the style for formula, and pressing the
standard selection on bottom right breaks the style. the new formula are
all placed at the top left of the page, and it is impossible to revert to
the previous setting (you cannot set to vertical center - character again).
not sure what other standard choices cause this same issue.

to test on your system. write formula, press f11, modify the formula style,
press standard, press okay. will be broken. attempt to reset, press f11,
modify formula style, reset. does nothing.

please, if still in current version please put into bugzilla

I always modify the default style for formula, because it adds wrap spacing
of 0.2cm to the left and right of formula, which causes formatting issues
in documents with in text equations.

writer formula hat i clips hat

2024-01-17 Thread Dean W
dear devs,

found this one for writer formula. hat i clips hat, same for many of the
other options such as tilde, circle, breve, check, grave, acute. clipped
for export to pdf.
fix is to put formula into matrix{}. with matrix{bold hat i} even through
looks clipped in document is fine as pdf.

Calc Page Preview Broken by Column

If you open the broken file, try to page preview. It will not load well, or

Re: [CODE4LIB] Deep Freeze + PaperCut + Windows profiles

2015-03-22 Thread Dean W. Armstrong
We ran into slow user profile creation in Windows 7 a few years ago. We found a 
variety of causes of slowdown on login/profile creation that we attempted to 
address, including:
1. Spinning hard drives were just slower, period, than SSDs. We replaced the 
vast majority of HDDs on the PAWS.
2. The cloning process from a master clone could affect the speed of the clone. 
We changed software as a result.
3. Symantec Endpoint Protection slows file access. It also would try to scan 
the entire HD and all user profiles constantly, and try to send millions of 
files to Symantec for analysis, and not delete them. 
4. Windows Search was enabled and constantly indexing user profiles. We removed 
it from the PAWS.
5. Windows startup sound actually added time in a login because it would wait 
until the audio service was ready.
6. Printer drivers per-user would have to download 70MB. By preinstalling the 
drivers on the PAWS with prndrvr.vbs, only a new printer creation was needed 
per user.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Deep Freeze + PaperCut + Windows profiles

In our computer labs, we currently use Deep Freeze.[1] It lets us grant our 
users full administrative rights, without worrying about malware, viruses, and 
such, because any changes the user makes are wiped out when they log off.

A couple of years ago, the campus as a whole switched to PaperCut for managing 
print jobs.[2] This maintains separate print queues for each student, so that 
when they swipe their student card at the print release station, they see only 
their own print jobs.  Convenient!  At least compared to Pharos, the old system.

Unfortunately, there's a nasty side-effect, which is that it takes a loong 
time to log into the lab computers.  Generally 5-6 minutes, sometimes as much 
as 10.  What's happening is:

1) A student logs in with their Active Directory credentials
2) The computer checks for a user profile and doesn't find one
3) The computer creates a new windows profile for the student (slooow!)
4) When they log off, Deep Freeze wipes out the profile.

The fact that the computer has to download, install, and configure the PaperCut 
print drivers makes Step 3 even slower.  They're per-user.  
They're baked into the user profile, so they get created fresh every time and 
wiped out again afterwards.

As a recent comment on Yik-Yak put it: Patience is waiting for the library 
computers to log you on.

We're currently on Windows 8 (yuck), but the problem occurred with 7 as well.

We've talked about removing Deep Freeze and simply placing the computers on 
restricted accounts with no permissions to install software, etc.  
That would *partially* address it, because profiles would no longer be wiped 
out.  As long as students went to the same computer over and over, they'd only 
be faced with a long logon the first time.  But, of course, it's a lab and 
there's no guarantee you can get the same computer all the time, so that's a 
poor solution at best.

 If this is the problem, you can control the IP address used by the

 and name poly.fe.up.pt. Ports 5-50010 UDP are opened.

 I've conducted some tests. On the internal network everything works 
 fine. From outside, people can connect to my Venue Server using 
 https://silicon.fe.up.pt:8000/Venues/default , they see the 
 BridgeServer and can choose Unicast, however they do not appear in my 
 RAT window and, of course, I cannot talk to them. Multicast is not an 
 option. Also no output in the terminal of the BridgeServer for 
 machines trying to connect from outside. For those on the local 
 network I have the normal output.

 Any thoughts about why the Bridge Server is not doing its job?

The 
public venue server and associated bridges that NCSA provides to the

that 
occur. For many participants who work in extremely restrictive
environments

that 
from at least my perspective, we would have been unable to participate
in 
many of the highly visible and important events that have taken place
over 
the past few years if it were not for the services provided by 
NCSA.  Taking the time to track down and fix network issues is
frustrating, 
but we all realize how important this task is.  So a huge thanks goes
out 
to the folks at NCSA for putting forth the effort and making such a 
tremendous contribution to the Access Grid community!

 I've restarted the UMTP server now.  You're right that it's not
supported,  but I'd like to keep it up.  Thanks for letting us know
that it had gone   down.

Thanks, Tom.  The server is up again.  There are a couple of reasons
that I like using the AGConnector.  First, it seems (to me) to provide
better connectivity than when I'm attempting a unicast connection; I
seem to get a more complete representation of those in a venue.  When
using unicast, I notice more 'one way' issues.  We almost always use
multicast, but when working from offices or endpoints that don't have
multicast capability, it seems a better solution than the unicast
bridges.  The second thing that I like about AGconnector is that it,
vic, and VP play well together, whereas with a unicast connection, VP is
not an option for me if I'll also need vic.

Thanks again.

I picked up Alivelectric at the Goodfoot the other night. The acoustic disc
is still getting finished and will be out in two or three weeks, availabile
in stores together. All I know about the acoustic disc is that it starts
with I Only Want to Be With You/Poor Boy.

Here's the rundown on Alivelectric:

1 The Earth Will Dissever and Consume You After these Messages
2 Introductions
3 Headshot
4 Mr. Meowskers
5 Happy Snails
6 Song
7 Interlude/ (Mixed segue)
8 If One Of Us Should Fall
9 Built For Zeal
10 Driving Backwards with You
11 Ashland


The Earth... is HOT! Rockin' rhythms and Brad goes to town. Headshot is
another quick one that tears through your ears and explodes into Mr.
Meowskers, and Happy Snails is a really interesting rhythmic tune. Song is
the instrumental that has been called Kurdistan/Acoma/Song of Dubious
Origin. I've only heard it acoustic before, but it RIPS with the full on
electric sound. The jam that "connects" it to If One Of Us Should Fall is
awesome, and some of Andrew's beats sound a little like Aptos, though not
exactly. If One Of Us Should Fall is a wonderful version, brimming with
emotion, though not as hot as the one the other night in Eugene IMO. Built
for Zeal is by far the best version I've heard, though that's not saying a
whole lot as I never really jumped on this song so much. Driving Backwards
is great, and Marc shreds. Ashland must be from NYE as there are horns,
though it fades out after 1:19 before the lyrics.

I'm just sinking my teeth into this disc, so I can't give a very critical
review at this point, but I'm sure we'll get one from Sam or someone else
soon enough. Patience. But definitely buy the disc, and a few extras for
your friends. I think it really captures the live energy and tightness of

All I want to say is that Reed rocked! I've been seeing these guys for yada-yada and this was one of my all-time favorites. I don't think it was just the Pabst talking, although moments after rolling in I found myself shotgunning cans on the quad like I was Frank the Tank or something. I'm not an old guy, but I'm no spring blue jay, and the Reed folk were well-prepared to party keg-style right there in the open. Heady school for sure. So, my juices were brimming out and it's show time..
Soft Machine started out and man, did you east coasters hear it? The beauty of it knows no physics or geography. This is my favorite of the newer songs, and I love that it's still in the works. How hard is that slide guitar/voice thing? Jeez. I love it. At that point, I began jumping up and down and didn't stop until the bitter end, which was Dogs on Bikes. A very extended Dogs, too. It was time to stop playing (as if such a time really exists) but Brad was not having it. He had led the boys out somewherefrom whichsome musical TLC was required to navigate home gently. He came prepared. 
There was all sorts of goodness n the middle there, some of my favorites: that new gem Children of December, Built to Spill's Else, Yellow Medicine, a S-I-C-K Fugi, Before You Were Born, Sandman, forget what else, if anything. I'm telling ya, this show, for those who love the raw ethereal rock that The Slip is capable of, is a keeper. My tape got messed up, and I am so bummed. So, please, when this gets out there, I NEED a copy. I love it. 
Eugene tonight, with the Ovulators opening. Very much looking forward to finally checking these gals out. Everybody stay cool over there on the other coast! Peace.

Hey now, Slip-pery people --

No details on the Portland setlist yet, but I did get the source-lineage for the
recording, and it looks mighty sweet:

Extracting values from array elements

2001-08-29 Thread Dean W. Paulson


I have the following array:

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9


Is there a way to assign individual values of each array element (1 2 3
4 5 6   7 8 9) to seperate variables so that
 $var1 = 1
 $var2 = 2
  .
  .
  .
 $var9 = 9

solved: Extracting values from array elements

2001-08-29 Thread Dean W. Paulson

I have solved my ealier question.

Thanks to those who responded.

the problem was:
I have an input file which contains n rows with 3 items in each row:
1 2 3
a b c
4 5 6

The script output needs to take the items from each row and print them
as:
v1=1, v2=2, v3=3
v1=a, v2=b, v3=c
v1=4, v2=5, v3=6

the script looks like this:

foreach (@parameters){
   my $line=$_;
   ($v1,$v2,$v3) = split (/ /,$line);
   print v1=$v1\n;
   print v2=$v2\n;
   print v3=$v3\n;
}

[rtl] problems with mmap and read/write on /proc

2001-07-27 Thread Dean W. Anneser


Though somewhat off-topic, I am trying to port our simulation/control/data_acq system 
to RTLinux.  
Key to the success of this endeavor, is the capability of having one process able to 
read/write 
into the process space of another.  In the example provided I can both mmap() and 
read()/write()
/proc on our current platform.  On Linux 2.4.1 (RH7.1) however, neither worked.

A couple of years ago, when I first tried this with RH5.2 (I don't remember the Linux 
version)
I remember seeing a similar (if not identical) disclaimer to what's in the current 
proc(5) 
manpage.  The last sentence gave me hope the capability I was seeking was to be 
implemented
imminently.

  memThis is not the same as the mem (1:1) device, despite the fact that it has the
 same device numbers.  The /dev/mem device is the physical memory before any 
 address translation is done, but the mem file here is the memory of the 
process
 that accesses it.  This cannot be mmap(2)'ed currently, and will not be until 
a 
 general mmap(2) is added to the kernel.  (This might have happened by the 
time 
 you read this.)

Either Linux can in some form support this and I'm doing something wrong (and the 
documentation
is out-of-date); or it is currently not yet possible through /proc.  

Thank you for taking the time to read this note.  Any help or pointers would be very 
much
appreciated (I hope someone else has crossed this bridge before me).

Re: [rtl] Virus emails

 Isn't it slowly getting time that the RTL mailing list admins 
 take responsibility and disable attachments ?
 
 - Erwin

I read my mail on a Unix system and luckily and have not been infected by viruses 
targeting the
windoz environment.  However, I would like to propose for purposes of this mailing 
list that the
standard be simple plain flat ascii text -- no attachments, no word documents, no 
HTML, etc.

Thoughts ?

Re: [rtl] RE: Problems with Examples in RTLinux V3.0-pre9

2000-12-08 Thread Dean W. Anneser


   There are many levels of globallness (I may patent that word!).
 Right now, there does not appear to be any way to define a variable so that
 it is global to the module, but not global to the entire kernel.  To make
 things even more difficult, it would be nice there were some mechanism to
 allow making variables global to a module and the kernel, but guaranteed
 (within reason) unique at the kernel level.

Victor /Steve --

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my email.  I would like to
elaborate on Steve's clarifications...

Data Access Issues:

Our user's requirements are simple: they want read/write access to any
local or global static parameter in any simulation, at any time;
without having to define up-front what parameters they wish to
interface with, and without the target process (user's simulation)
having any notion of the fact that access to its data space is being
made externally.

The folks writing the simulation or control s/w like this because they
can focus on their task at hand, without having to be concerned about
"how to display or interface with the data", and "how to move data
in/out of various VME interfaces."  It's all done for them, outside of
their application.

Namespace Issues:

We receive simulations and control code from many different groups.
These simulations can be hand coded Fortran, Fortran generated by
picture compilers, or hand coded C.  It is a practical impossibility
to enforce any sort of parameter naming conventions to prevent name
collisions -- every group has their own naming standards.  As Steve
had noted, a very real example is where we have real-time engine model
executable "engine", and make and run two copies of "engine"
concurrently. 

  cp engine left_engine
  cp engine right_engine

In each engine simulation, there is a parameter p2 (inlet pressure).
We need (and currently have on a Concurrent platform) a mechanism
whereby we specifically address left_engine::p2 or right_engine::p2 .
Each of these engine models would have a shared memory area defined
with an airframe model and share, for example, a parameter called "alt".
Therefore we have three valid ways to reference what turns out to be a
single data object -- left_engine::alt, right_engine::alt, or
airframe::alt.  The user interface s/w must recognize that "alt" is
one object, and not three.

I need a technique to "walk the executables" and extract user defined
parameters and parameter attributes, so I can present to the user
interface on startup, and concatenated, sorted-by-name symboltable of
all the parameters in all of the simulations to be run.  Having a
sorted list makes things like parameter name completion and resolving
parameter unqiueness (are multiple parameters of the same name one or
more objects) easier.  Thank you for the pointer to objdump -- with
enough options enabled, it appears we might be able to parse this to
generate a symboltable with all the info we need.

Re: [rtl] RE: Problems with Examples in RTLinux V3.0-pre9

2000-12-07 Thread Dean W. Anneser


   This would also be helpful for people who want to be able to run
 multiple copies of the same RT task.  At the recent RTLinux conference in
 Orlando I ran into a guy who was running engine simulations.  He wanted to
 be able to run two copies of the same code at the same time and examine
 variables in each.  Obviously if they are global variables (and they are),
 he will need some sort of namespace architecture to make this work.  Has
 anyone given this any thought?
 
 Regards,
 
 Steve

Hi Steve -- that guy was me.

Not as yet having had any practical experience with RTL/RTAI, from what
I've seen so far they appear to be good solutions for small to
mid-sized control and data acquisition systems, where inputs and 
outputs are known and fixed within the application.  However, in
addition to control and data acquisition, our real-time simulation
systems need to:

1) run N number of user applications (simulations or control code
written in C and/or Fortran) in real-time, at different rates
(typically 5/10/20/50 msec), across multiple cpus (it would be nice if
Linux had a notion of real-time priorities, so the only component that
would have to run as a kernel module would be the frequency based
scheduler) 

2) provide the user "on the fly" r/w access to any statically defined
parameter in any real-time user application, on any cpu for purposes
of display, access from within test scripts, or binding to i/o channels

3) need to provide a comprehensive namespace management scheme,
whereby multiple copies of a single executable (with different process
names like "left_engine" and "right_engine") may be run, and the user
is able to distinguish whether objects of the same name are one shared
object, or different objects

4) define/delete/modify i/o channel attributes and bindings to
parameters in simulation space, at any time

5) have a system that is self configuring at boot time -- i.e. no i/o
process code needs to change when more i/o boards are added/removed

6) scale from small applications - where the number of simulation
parameters are in the thousands, and the i/o channel counts are in the
hundreds; to large applications - where the the parameter count can be
greater than 100,000 and i/o points are greater than 2000

7) provide a utility to walk the elf/dwarf user applications and
extract parameter attributes of only the user defined static
parameters, such as program, module, common (f77) or C struct,
parameter name, parameter type, logical address, number of dimensions,
upper/lower bounds of each dimension, etc...

8) allow users to change their real-time applications without ever
having to change or re-link the user interface or i/o process
applications 


We are doing all of this now on systems provided by Concurrent
Computer Corp (formally Harris Computer Systems).  

One question I would like to ask for starters:  Short of looking at
gdb source, how could I extract parameter attribute information from
executables (to build a symboltable) -- I don't seen any mention of
dwarf info as being available in RedHat 6.2 or 7.0.  The "nm" utility
does not provide enough info.
