openoffice spellcheck
by Dave 28 Dec '05

Anyone use the spell check in OO on Cent4? When I start the spell checker, it has the dialog to change misspelled words, I select the properly spelled words but it never changes the words in the document. Anyone else get this or is there some config I need to set to save changes for the spell checker?

Multiple program instances or multiple log ins?
by Robert Moskowitz 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

This all comes out of figuring out how I might run Evolution like I run Eudora. I see where Evolution places its data in a hidden directory: ~/.evolution Now why it is felt necessary to put all of this stuff in hidden directories is beyond me. So it would seem that Evolution is treating each useid as a personality for the logged in user. Given the way Evolution organizes its data, I could create some more Linux users, and either: Give my main user file permissions to them and somehow run copies of Evolution using those /home/user directories. Anyone know how to do that? Or do I somehow have to have multiple simultaneous logins? And switch between them? I know there is a way to have 4 desktops....

New CD-ROM drive causes kernel panic
by Alfred von Campe 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

I have a CentOS 4.2 system that had a bad CD-ROM drive. Every time I inserted a CD, the system would hang (no kernel panic, but no response to mouse, keyboard, or even the network - all I could do was hit the reset button). Today I replaced the CD-ROM drive with another I had lying around. The new drive is a 24x10x40 CD-RW. I don't know the exact model of the motherboard (I should have looked while I had the case open earlier this afternoon), but I know it's an Intel desktop motherboard that's at least 5 years old with a 1.7 GHz Pentium 4. Anyway, to make a long story short, now the system won't even boot! Here are the last few lines on the screen: Starting udev: [ OK ] Initializing hardware... storage network audio done [ OK ] Kernel panic - not syncing: drivers/ide/pci/piix.c:394: spin_lock (drivers/ide/ide.c:c037bb68) already locked by drivers/ide/ide-iops.c/ 1234 Any ideas how I can work around this? I've booted from the CentOS 4.2 CD #1 into rescue mode, but I don't know what I should look for next. Other than removing the CD-ROM drive, what can I do to fix this problem? Thanks in advance for any help, Alfred

On compiling for x86_64 on an i386...
by Maciej Żenczykowski 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

Hi folks, Anyway, I have a main development system which is P4 based (without EM64T) and a dozen diskless Athlon 64's. I'd like to be able to compile kernel's, etc for the Athlons in x86_64 bit mode. Any idea how to arrange this? I've recompiled the src.rpm for binutils (added a single line "CARGS=--enable-targets=x86_64-linux" to the specfile) and "as --64" doesn't bork anymore, so I'm assuming I've got that right... I'm assuming I next have to do something to gcc? Haven't figured this out yet... Anything else needed? Holiday cheers, MaZe.
