[newbie] Star-Linux mailing list -- Open Invitation
Dear friends: This is my official invitation to all of you who use StarOffice for Linux. I will send copies of this invitation right away to some of the major Linux sites on the Web. Please feel free to send a copy of this letter to anyone you like, or to any other Linux mailing list or distro or any web site you think might benefit from it. Thank you again. Benjamin P. S. This is my last message on this subject to our Mandrake list. BEGIN: The new StarOffice mailing list is now ready to accept members. WHAT IS IT? A mailing list for StarOffice for Linux -- all versions of Star Office. Please indicate your version number if necessary. TARGET AUDIENCE: All Linux distributions world-wide, without exception. LANGUAGE OF COMMUNICATION: English only. But broken English is acceptable. WHAT KIND OF LIST? Unmoderated list. Anyone can join.

However, if a user requests that a message be deleted, I will be happy to delete it for him/her. However, be advised that egroups.com has a strange counting system. When a message is deleted, the counter does not adjust for it. So, e.g. it might say that there are 10 messages when there are only 9. While no members' messages will be deleted from our online archives without their express written request, all objectionable material will be dealt with appropriately, such as spam messages, outright profanity for its own sake, flaming, the endless "please unsubscribe me" messages (which should be done professionally) and any postings that have nothing to do with StarOffice for Linux. Exceptions to the above rule might include cross-postings from other Linux or Star Office mailing lists that clearly identify themselves as such and request help with a specific problem. ONLINE ADVERTISING: I think most of us will admit that a little advertising by egroups.com in the form of an advertising bar online or discreet ads in our email message are a small price to pay for the privilege of having a free mailing list for StarOffice.

It's looking for a signature file. Either turn off signatures (I have) or create a signature (even a BLANK signature will work.) In either case, go to FILE -SETTINGS -COMPOSER. Here you can *uncheck* the "automatically append signature" and under "settings" you can see what you have set for the signature file. MY advice is to open a console window and type "touch email.sig" and then put "/home/josh/email.sig" in the "settings" box where it asks for the filename of the signature file. :-) That way you'll always have SOMETHING there and it'll never complain about a "...directory, not a folder..." again. :-) John

Hi Gregg,
Gregg Carrier wrote:
I'm so bummed. Linux just hung on me completely. I guess I was tempting fate
when I said it had never hung once. I was in KDE, with like 2 Netscape windows
open andhangorama
So, here's what I did, being a newbie. I tried ctl-alt F* to switch to another
console and possibly shut it down that way. I tried ctl-alt-bckspace to shut X
Windows. Finally I tried ctl-alt-del to shut er down. Nothing did anything. :(
[snip]
I had similar problems. Linux said "cannot load interpreter" X was hanging and
other effects. It got worse.
Then Linux couldnt access the swap partition and some files.
After some time problems occured in Windows.
I reformatted my disks and reinstalled every thing,Windows and Linux.
The problem stayed.
Then I was forced to start Windows in its secure mode. ("Abgesicherter Modus" in
german language,dont know the englisch words for this)
It complained about corrupt VXDs and else and said Windows has to be reinstalled.
I reinstalled.
Then I got the message "EMM386 memory corrupt" or so. Now I got the idea about
what was going on! Unstable memory!
I had some evenings of hard work to find which of my SIMMS where bad.
Finally I detected a 16MB SIMM and I replaced it. (Its now in my laser printer
and working fine there :-).
Since then, Linux is stable again. (Apart from java problems with netscape)
Windows is much more stable than it ever was. (Maybe the reason is, I dont
use it often :-).
So, here come my tips for you:
Disable "qick memory check" in BIOS to have the extended memory checks.
Choose conservative timings.
Enable the EMM386 command line option for initial memory check.
Heat up your memory with a hair dryer to 60 or 70 degrees celsius.
Start Windows in secure mode or/and use a memory check program.
(Windows does more memory and consistence checks than Linux,especially
when it boots and the kernal and VXDs are dynamically configured and linked)
Remove half of your memory. If errors are not gone,try the other half
of the memory. So you eventually can track down a bad memory stick.
Good luck!
Peter

Re: [newbie] kernel header files - where?

Also, I did install the "kernel source" package when I did the update, in case that has any effect on what's in the include dir. Sorry for replying to my own thread... There is also a package "kernel headers" on my MDK 6.1 CDROM True, but that's for the 2.2.13-7mdk kernel. I upgraded to 2.2.13-22mdk and also installed the kernel-headers-2.2.13-22mdk.rpm package.
