Re: [CentOS] (OT) OpenOffice.org calc chart strangeness.
Bill Campbell wrote: I am attempting to create a simple line chart graphing three columns from a soffice-calc spreadsheet. I expect it to take the leftmost column as the X-Axis, plotting the others on the Y-Axis, but it always creates an X-Axis of the row number in the columns, and the first column amongst the data. I have tried this on OpenOffice.org 3.2.0, NeoOffice(R) 3.0.2 Patch 2, iWork Pages, and Excel 12.2.4 in Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac. It does what I expect in iWork Pages and M$-Excel, but not in the various incantations of OpenOffice.org. I OO-calc has gone to a fancy wizard thingy that doesn't seem to have any way to specify details for the X-Axis, and I can't find anything useful in the on-line documentation. Does anybody know how one gets this to work in OpenOffice.org? The Linux tie-in is that I'm getting data from a postgresql database that lives on a Linux box, and none of the fancy commercial products seem to be able to use it in their data sources. On the other hand, I have written a python script that extracts the data from the postgresql database and creates the pretty reports using groff and gplot totally on Linux which is faster in any case for my current problem. Bill Hi Bill, Don't know if this will help, hope it does. One thing that comes to mind is this sounds like a data series issues. It sounds like everything is included within the data series range. The only thing that should be in this, which would be the Y axis, is the 2nd and 3rd columns of data. I hope this helps in some way.

[CentOS] Interrupting Yum Update

Try Control-C once and see if you get to a faster mirror. Do the second Control-C to stop the transfer entirely. The script you referred to will work if a yum session gets interrupted and you end up with duplicates. Otherwise, you can try yum-complete-transaction (included in yum-utils) to ... er ... complete transactions. Akemi / toracat ___ Hi Akemi, Thanks.

If you eventually decide to wipe it and start over, you might consider running IPCop Linux, a special distribution for Firewall/Router purposes. I use it at home and some on the list use it at work.
