Found the file inside debian (autostart file), tried to edit it but it would not save. How do i go about that

Thanks for the pointer rebhana

e: It was in leafpad. So how do go about getting in the debian chroot to edit that file

qole,

Well, I decided to give ubuntu one more try (warts and all). It turns
out that it comes with OO3.1. I do not know why I got OO2.4 with the previous try (see #967). Perhaps something related to my previous downgrade to get the equation editor to work with the debian version and then not uninstalling properly. Anyways, I then tried

aptitude -t lenny-backports install openoffice.org

as you suggested and instead of downgrading the version stayed the same and the equation editor worked! I was surprised with this result because I was using a debian repository.
I guess because ubuntu is built on debian it worked. Hopefully
this will give some clues as to why the install on debian does not work or downgrades.

In regards to performance, the start-up of OO takes longer on ubuntu, about 20 seconds longer then debian, but it seems to work ok once past that stage.


Rebhana,

In regards to starting a new thread concerning "Speculations about a possible release date for a new Easy Debian image with OO 3.2"
I think I'll pass. But I might add that I was able to download and install OO3.2 with no hitches on my IMAC. Perhaps a conspiracy theorist could pick up on that. Personally I'm afraid to...

Hi.
Kompozer is in the menu under internet and programming but when launched I get 10 seconds full cpu showing and then nothing. When I sudo kopozer I get

(process:2202) Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.

Using fallback `C´locale.

(kompozer-bin:2202) : GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname () called multiple times

(kompozer_bin:2202) : Gdk-WARNING ** : locale not supported by C library

/usr/lib/kompozer/run_mozilla.sh: line 131: 2202 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
sh-4.1$

taptap: "Segmentation fault" is bad. That means it is just crashing. I wonder what version of Mozilla they're using. Because if they're using the engine for Firefox 2, then it will never work on armel; they never fixed Firefox 2.

You should start the editor from the Debian chroot terminal (the app with red swirl). That gives you root permissions.

I had similar problems recently with another program (gramps, see above) which I could resolve by starting LXDE from XTerminal by
If you instead started using "debbie ...", perhaps try "sudo debian su - user -c ...." instead. In my case it did however work using debbie out of the box, only LXDE had a problem.

Hi Rebhana Im not getting it yet i tried to open LXDE in terminal as you say, tried both instances in the menu, same, when I sudo kompozer I get

(kompozer-bin:3530) : GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname () called multiple times

/usr/lib/kompozer/run_mozilla.sh: line 131: 3530Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
sh-4.1$

Hi Qole, are you saying this wont happen because of line 131 in the firefox¿?

from kompozer site :
Latest stable version: 0.7.10 (2007-08-30)
Warning: this version does NOT work with recent GNU/Linux distros.
KompoZer 0.7 is not compatible with GTK ≥ 2.14 — expect crashes. If you’re using a Linux distro that ships KompoZer 0.7.10 with GTK ≥ 2.14, please inform the package maintainers about this.

does that scuper me plans?

If the problem is specifically with Mozilla, perhaps you can still use it with epiphany? This browser is also installed in Easy Debian.

ok how do i go about that?

I was just thinking that the script /usr/lib/kompozer/run_mozilla.sh may be modified to use a different browser. But I don't know anthing about kompozer, I'm just guessing.

EDIT: Wow! Post no. 1000
