Re: [newbie] Spellchecker for Openoffice 1.0.1
Good Morning, I have found this same locking also happens in Star Office - only to a lesser degree. If I spell check a document (regardless of whether it is on a local machine or not, or on a Linux or Win2K server) if I add words to the dictionary then it locks up and unless I saved the file pre-spellcheck it is gone. Very strange... - Robert Dempsey mudder wrote: Greetings, I was fooling around tonight and I realized that the Openoffice 1.0.1 that installed with rc3 did not have a spell checker. Looked on the Openoffice.org web page and found instructions to install a spell checker. http://whiteboard.openoffice.org/lingucomponent/download_dictionary.html Trouble is, I believe that I followed the instructions but when I load a test document that has deliberate misspellings the system locks hard... so hard that I have no alternative than to press the reset button. (don't like to have to do that) I was able to install a 641 version and the spellchecker works fine. Does anyone know if this is a problem that is common of have I done something drasticly wrong?

Re: [newbie] Upgrade of Samba - help!
Derek, Thank you again. I had gotten the server to the point where I could shut it down with no problem (I believe that I shut off or didn't install NFS). I will try your way though, as I need to get this server going on my RAID 5 array. I also had winbind working correctly except for the fact that I couldn't enumerate users or groups. The main reason that I am asking about all of this is because I was able to get a RedHat 7.3 server integrated into my Win2K domain - fully - using the latest version of Samba and Winbind. I am unable to do it with previous versions of these two programs. Also, Mandrake 8.2 is the only Linux OS that I can install on my RAID 5 setup (Adaptec 2110S - Fujitsu Ultra 160 SCSI Drives) and I like the admin tools better than RedHat (not that RH isn't good too). I will try what you have suggested, and read more of the documentation. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Robert Dempsey Derek Jennings wrote: Do you mean NIS (Name Information Server) or NFS (Network File System) if NIS, then sorry I do not know, never used it. If you mean NFS, then yes. NFS can be a pain if shares are mounted when you shut down. You have to unmount the share before shutting down. 8.2 is better than 8.1 was, in that if you wait long enough it will time out and shutdown anyway. I find the best solution is to set 'noauto' in the /etc/fstab file for the NFS shares and mount them explicitly when I need them. As for your Samba issue. There is an additional RPM for Winbind. Did you install it? You should have been able to define Rangers site as a urpmi source. Did you get an error when you typed urpmi.addmedia --update Ranger-8.2 http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/mandrake8.2 with hdlist.cz in a root terminal? (that is all one line) then to install samba with winbind all you have to do is type urpmi samba-server samba-client samba-winbind Any dependencies will be found and installed automatically.

Re: [newbie] Mounting my NTFS partition
Scott, As far as I know, there is no way to access an NTFS partition if it is on the same box as your Linux distro. The only way to access this drive would be to have it on another computer, and share it out, assigning appropriate share permissions (which MS feels is all to everyone by default). Good luck. I am a newbie to this too and enjoy Mandrake. Have a good one. - Robert Dempsey Scott Felton wrote: I'm new to Mandrake and fairly new to Linux (ran Slackware for a few months back around 3.5-4.0 on a P166) Now I have a new machine, 1.3g celeron, 384m RAM and two 40g hard drives. I have been installing and toying with many distros but Mandrake is the first that has my interest for more than a day or two. I have Windows XP on the first hard drive (hda) that came with the computer. How do (can?) I mount that drive just in case I want to get something off it to look at from here in Linux? I created a /windows directory (as root) and tried. [root@whitetrash scott]# mount -t ntfs /dev/hda /windows mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda, or too many mounted file systems (gee, I still remember how to cut and paste in Linux :) AFAIK Mandrake is mounting 3 partitions for Linux on hdb (at least when I installed it, I defined 3). I *THINK* lilo is installed on /dev/hda (and not in MBR). Should I be able to mount my Windows NTFS? The Windows HD actually has nothing on it but Windows and I will probably ditch it when I settle on a final distro of Linux, but now that I can't mount it, I'm curious what my problem might be? I've installed Windows several times (I keep wiping it out during Linux install goofs:) and it SAYS it's using NTFS during the install. Looking at the man page for mount I think I have the syntax correct and I found nothing in this lists FAQ (although I'm not very good at searching it). TIA...

Re: [newbie] Upgrade of Samba - help!
Thank you Derek and Tek1, First, there is nothing wrong with the Samba on the Mandrake 82 cds, however, I cannot get winbind and samba 2.3.3a to fully integrate into my Win2K domain. I have made all of the adjustments as I did on my RH7.3 machine, however, it wouldn't fully go through (errors retrieving groups and users using wbinfo). Also, I did download the newest RPMs and also tried to use the urpmi tool as well (urpmi failed to retrieve and when I tried to upgrade it killed my box). I now have a freshly installed Mandrake 8.2 box (as install and config takes 10 minutes!) and did not install Samba in the beginning. I will try download again and package manager install and let you know how it goes. Thank you again for your help.

The problem occurs after the initial log on and configuration - on shut down, I receive the error Unmounting of NIS filesystem[FAILED] and the system locks up. I am forced to do a hard reboot, and the system comes back up and auto logs itself on. I am hoping that someone can help me with this. I thank you all for your help in advance.
