Probs emerging OpenOffice

2003-07-12 Thread Conrad Wolf
Hi Gentoo freaks on the list!

I've tried to emerge OpenOffice on my Gentoo system from the install 
fest, but it allways crashed after 2 or 3 hours of compiling. After the 
3rd attempt I've outcommented the CFLAGS in my make.conf, because at the 
begin of the emerge process there is an info saying that OpenOffice is 
very sensitiv to aggressive optimization parameters. Now that I've tried 
to emerge it without any optimization for the 3rd time and it still 
crashes, I somehow don't know what to do next. The last few lines of 
the CL output are

Conrad I had problems once where I was strangely running out of space
when I knew there was space to burn. Turned out I was actually running
out of inodes. Post the output of 'df' and 'df -i' for teh device in

X quality really bad on 4mb video card on debian

2003-07-12 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,

I have just installed debian on a 233mhz computer with 4mb video card
and 196 mb of ram. The speed of X is fine but the quality is horrible.
Colours get stuffed up often, pixel get messed up when I move windows. I
am using the amp driver for a allience promotion AT25 with xfree86 4.* .
From my research on the net I found out that this is the right driver
for the AT25.

I had lent the computer to someone else and they were running win98 SE
and it worked fine.

What can I do to get it to work better? I have tried 3 different window
managers but it makes little difference.

Cheers

Paul

Here it is:--^^

Which means that your disk is full and you can't write any more!

How much free space did you have when you started?
My compile failed for the same reason and I had 1.2 Bytes or there abouts.
Does anybody know how much free space is needed to compile OOo?

I got it to compile with 2 bytes free.  The extra 6.4 bits _do_
make a difference.

I got problems too when I tried to emerge OOo on my second Gentoo box
yesterday.

In the end I decided to try emerge openoffice-bin and it worked fine.
?

Version 1.0.2 though.

Try this soon, before Google fixes its site:

 1) Go to http://www.google.com

 2) Type in (but DON'T hit return): weapons of mass destruction 
(make sure that you include the )

 3) Hit the I'm feeling lucky button, instead of the normal Google

 4) Carefully read what *appears* to be a normal error message

After that try  http://www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/blair.html and

Hi Paul,
  I have a Alliance Promotion AT3D 4Meg card on Slackware which uses
the same apm driver (I presume amp was a typo),the trick is to select
no_accel since it is a hardware accelerated card which does not require
software acceleration iirc.

An older monitor should work with DefaultDepth on 16.

below are relevant sections of my XF68Config file.

Keith.

I fixed the colour problem by putting the colour depth on either 16 or
24. Both work fine. The pixel problem is still there. Pixels stuff up
where I click things or drag windows.
