What I found was the OOo was looking for /dev/cdrom and I had /dev/scd0 as my cd. So I went to /dev and did ln -s scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd cdrom without the quotes the scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd is actually what scd0 links to on my box. The result I could open things from the cdrom without hassle. James (actually this cured my problem with several programs.)

I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I don't know why it would. Anyway, this isn't really a problem for me... more of an observation. I was just curious if anyone else can reproduce this?

Re: [expert] OpenOffice Peculiarity
Problem solved. When loading a file from a cdrom within the Open Panel at the bottom there is a [] Read Only check box. You must check this indicating a Read Only File source. You can now bring in the file into Openoffice Writer and edit and ofcourse Save As to a writable disk. I previously tried the suggestion from Rick Friedman. Copying the file to a hard disk or the floppy and making the folder and file Read Only and the file would still open in the writer but not from the cdrom.

OpenOffice starts to access the CD and then it just stops. I have two drives. One is a CD-RW drive and the other is a DVD. They are setup as /dev/scd0 /dev/scd1 respectively. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I don't know why it would. Anyway, this isn't really a problem for me... more of an observation. I was just curious if anyone else can reproduce this? Or is it specific to my machine for some reason? Good questions. If you copy the files to a writeable directory, can you access them? Yes this works fine. What if you chmod -w the directory so that you can't write to it? yes this works fine also. As I indicated in a previous answer to James @ opencourty.org the Staroffice 5.2 has no problems in loading / reading these files from the cdroms.

[expert] GDM doesn't remember default/last desktop
Here's the situation: I am running Mandrake 8.1, mostly kept up to date through the MandrakeUpdate program. I was using kdm for my login manager, but Gnome for my desktop. The default was KDE, but I always let it use my last session, which was Gnome every time. I recently installed Ximian desktop, and replaced kdm with gdm for my login manager. I have two problems with gdm: 1. It refuses to remember my last session after rebooting (this is a laptop, so I reboot at least twice a day, when travelling from home to the office and back). Therefore if I forget to select Gnome the first time I login, I end up in KDE and must logout and then login again, selecting Gnome in the process. 2. It will not remember the default desktop if I change it to Gnome. After a reboot, it is always reset to default to KDE, which leaves me back at problem #1. Is this a known issue? I have run gdmconf a number of times, and it seems to accept my change to default the desktop to Gnome, but after rebooting it is always back to KDE again. -- Dave Sherman Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, MCSE, MCSA, CCNA for you are crunchy, and good with ketchup. lynx -source http://sildara.dyndns.org/davepub.asc | gpg --import signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
