I am just MAD at my ASUS X751S laptop.

Windows updated itself to a newer version of Windows 10.  That, 
again, dumped the GRUB system to be able to boot to Ubuntu-MATE 
16.04LTS.  I have been trying to get it working for over 14 hours.


Suggestion
Virtualize windows and solve your problem :)


NO I cannot do that.  Wish I could.

If/When I need it to go to a warranty repair service, I have to give 
them a Windows password so these people can test it out before and after 
they do the work.  If there is only Ubuntu installed, then they will 
tell me it is Linux that is part of the trouble.


Same with Internet access companies - it is your router that the problem 
so you MUST use ours at $10 a month, even if their wifi range does not 
cover all of your apartment/house, let alone 10 floors down to the 
green-space under my window.


I gave the repair people the Win10 and Ubuntu passwords, but it came 
back with a lot of Windows changes - including the splash and background 
images messed with.  At least most of the data and Win10 packages 
remained the same.


Right now, if the hard drive is big enough, I give Windows 10 between a 
third to a forth of the total drive.  The rest goes to Ubuntu.  Right 
now on the ASUS laptop I gave Win10 about 200 GB of space and then gave 
the rest to Ubuntu.  40 GB partition for the "/" root folders and a few 
GB for the swap partition.  The rest goes for the "/home" partition.  
Hopefully, this will allow me to keep my data when I have to install 
Ubuntu from scratch again.


The laptop I am typing from has only 500 GB so I split it in two.  I 
need enough space to run some space hungry packages and its data that 
only works on Windows.  It does not work correctly installed on a 
Virtual Windows "box" or via WINE.  Most of this stuff is the Corel 
PaintShop package and the printing of labels directly onto CD. or DVD, 
media.


I decided, for now, not to install these packages onto the ASUS Windows 
partition till I fix all the issues.  I do not want to waste time and 
"hair" dealing with repeat installations of the Win10 partition and its 
software.

Windows seem not to care if the letter is an uppercase or a lowercase 
one, they are the same thing.  Linux treats the letters as different 
ones since their ASCII number are different.


I am wondering if there is some setting that creates these directories 
that way.  I use Caja for my default folder viewing and creation 
package.  I use the MATE terminal package instead of Konsole.


Since I do not use KDE, except if they have a package I install that is 
better than MATE, so it may be some type of compatibility setting.

[libreoffice-users] Portrait printing problems redux - printer tray sensor issue?

[Marc Grober]

While I have not had this problem up until today, I understand that this
problem has cropped up from time to time and no one has yet resolved the
source.

I have OSX 10.11.6 and just recently updated to LO 5.4.0.3 - print at
issue is an HP Deskjet 8500 A910

Suddenly LO documents show up correctly in preview, but only appear in
landscape in print dialog, and only print in landscape. All other
applications appear to work fine.

However, sometimes the document will appear correctly and will print
correctly, but continued use of LO will then result in reversion to the
landscape mode. There is nothing I can determine that causes the
reversion to proper behavior. Deleting and reinstalling the printer does
not seem to help.

I tested changing the format to A4 and that seems to put things right,
so I tested setting the dialog at letter but reducing the page width
from 8.5 to 8.49, and that correct the problem as well...  

Is this likely some kind of page tray sensor issue?

[marcgrober]

As others have noted, the hack of setting the page width to 8.49 or to 8.51
seems to work fine, but what is causing the problem, and what is an
effective solution to whatever is causing the underlying problem?

I think you just need not a cross-reference but a hyperlink. You will 
see that a hyperlink can be to a different part of the same document 
or another document, not just to a web address. You can link to 
tables, frames, graphics, OLE objects, sections, headings, or bookmarks.


I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Saving error

[Stephen Harding]

Since upgrading to LO 5.4.0.3 I have been getting the following error
message when I try to save a document.  I've tried uninstalling and
reinstalling LO but still get the same result. It doesn't happen all the
time or with all documents.  The only way I have found of getting round the
problem is to use the "Save All" function.  The current Writer and Draw
documents I'm working on are derived from templates created 18 months ago on
whatever LO version was current at the time. Operating system is Windows 10
64 bit patched up to date.

 



 

Is anyone else experiencing this problem or have any suggestions as to how I
can get round it?

 

Best wishes

[libreoffice-users] Page Numbers in TOC

[Jonathan Allen]

Hi All,

Why doesn't the page number format in the TOC follow the page numbers
on the pages?  I have a series of roman-numerated pages (i-xiii)
followed by a block of conventional pages (1-...).  The TOC has an
H1 entry for a roman page with the correct number, but shown as '3'
rather than 'iii'.  How do I fix this?

Yes, that's right.  I actually want the roman number 'iii' to appear in
the automatic TOC as it does on the page being referenced.  Now the strange
thing is that if I insert a bookmark on that page and put the bookmark
reference in a manual TOC, it gets the roman number bit right.  So why
can't the automatic TOC?

[libreoffice-users] How to turn a paragraph into a cross-reference/link

[Dennis Heuer]

Hello,

I seek for a way to mark a text block (including indentions, images and
what is in there) and turn it into a cross reference - without it
getting substituted with a link name or a page number or the like. I
want it just as you find it in internet-shops: There is an article
entry, with header, text, image and price tag, and you can click on the
whole block (division in HTML))

regards
-

But I get what you want in automatic TOC. Have one page style for Arabic 
numbers, and one page style for roman numerals.


I set page number format when creating or editing page style. In tab 
Page (right click on page style and choose modify) set roman numerals in 
filed Page numbers. Do respectively for Arabic numbers.


Just insert TOC.

Maybe your page styles are not designed right?

I'm using 5.3.3 on GNU/Linux. Maybe is that particular document. What do 
you get when try to do that on a brand new document?

First make custom numbering style and set numbers to be lower numerals.

Make new paragraph style that you will use on pages where you have roman 
numerals as page numbers. You can base that custom style on the style 
you're currently using.


When making new paragraph style, in tab Outline and numbering choose 
numbering style you've made from a drop down in field Numbering style.


Use that paragraph style on pages with roman numerals.

When inserting table of contents, check Additional styles from a dialog 
window. Click Add styles. Move your custom style to level one. Click OK.


-

If you set everything as said here - you'll get desired results. Just 
remember, your newly created style will just look like Heading 1, but 
will actually be at text body level. That's a trade-off. If you set 
custom style to level one in Tools → Outline and numbering, you won't be 
able to use Heading 1.


It's not that complicated, just need to understand how the whole system 
work.


There's more to it, more could be done, but this should suffice. More 
explaining equals more complexity and more chance to get/do something wrong.

Where abouts is this in the menus/tabs?  I'm running LO 5.1.6.2 on Linux
Mint - Sarah.

F11 gets up the style table.  Select page styles, then right click the
roman number page style and select 'Modify'.  I can't see anything on
the tabs to set the page number style.  Is it Organiser/Page/Area/
Transparency/Header/Footer/Borders/Columns/Footnote?  I actually set
the page number format to lower-case roman when I put the page number
field in the footer with Insert->Field->More Fields and chose the
format I wanted.

> Just insert TOC.

Arabic numbers.
