[gentoo-user] openoffice.org copy cells from calc and paste into writer causes crash.
The details so far are in bug # 289665 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289665. Basically, I installed openoffice.org (non-bin) using portage from the normal repository mirrors. The first problem is described in the above bug, the second is that formula do no survive to save and reopen process. Thanks.

AJ, Thanks for your quick reply. I think you should append that there is also a fault on x86 arch as well.

Damien, I have been having issues with the openoffice identical to those which you describe here on stable x86. I have eix openoffice [I] app-office/openoffice Installed versions: 3.1.1(03:21:09 10/13/09)(cups dbus gnome gtk java nsplugin opengl pam ) Homepage:http://go-oo.org Description: OpenOffice.org, a full office productivity suite. The package was compiled with -J3 on a dual core centrino processor. I can append my information to the bug since I am using a different arch then you, I am just unsure of what information is needed. let me know and I will add my results. AJ

Dale, If you think the symptoms of your problem are similar, plz append. The ctrl-c and ctrl-v is a workaround, but I think a solid fix is needed.

AJ I tried this and it seems to work. I may not be doing something right tho. This is what I did. I opened OO calc and OO writer. I'm not to familiar with Calc but I typed some stuff in the cells and then did a ctrl a to select all, then ctrl c to copy I then went to OO writer and did a ctrl v to paste the contents. As I said, I'm not good at OO calc at all. When I pasted to OO writer, it pasted something but I'm not sure what. My CPU did get busy for several seconds during the pasting. What I do see looks like a box but I can't see anything in the box. I may just not know what I am supposed to be looking for tho. I did mention that I'm not good at Calc right? I'm on gcc-4.4.2 and I have mine set to -j2. I have a single AMD 2500+ with 2Gb of ram. If I can reproduce this, I'd glad to post a same here on the bug. Dale :-) :-) P. S. My internet connection is iffy right now. Some dumbo got happy with a ditch witch. They are working on it. I'm just glad I have a cell phone. LOL
Re: [gentoo-user] openoffice.org copy cells from calc and paste into writer causes crash.
Dale, I tried the ctrl-c, ctrl-v method and writer freezes. Thanks Damien Dale wrote: Damien Sticklen wrote: Dale, If you think the symptoms of your problem are similar, plz append. The ctrl-c and ctrl-v is a workaround, but I think a solid fix is needed. Thanks, Damien It never crashed on mine tho. OO Calc and OO Writer kept running until I closed them. Was you using the right click copy and paste method? I will try that way if that will reproduce the problem. It appears to work here tho with no crash. I went back and looked at the vox that was created. All the cells are in there along with the stuff I typed in. It's just REALLY small. Dale :-) :-)
Re: [gentoo-user] openoffice.org copy cells from calc and paste into writer causes crash.
Oo-bin is the vanilla openoffice as opposed to the source version gentoo uses, which comes from go-o. When you say the x86 version is working fine, do you mean the bin or source version. Even so, I think we need to keep this bug open so the 64-bit version gets fixed regardless. Thanks for your prompt reply Mick, Regards, Damien Mick wrote: 2009/10/21 Damien Sticklen ubiquitous1...@gmail.com: Dale, I tried the ctrl-c, ctrl-v method and writer freezes. Thanks Damien No consolation to your problem, but Oo-bin works fine. I cutted and pasted between calc and writer on a x86 and it works without problem. The cells had text and numeric values with formulas in them. Decoration like text format, borders, etc. pasted through fine and double clicking on the pasted cells in word opens the spreadsheet for editing.
Re: [gentoo-user] Ethernet card not working, tried tulip drivers...

I just followed the (excellent, easily understandable) gentoo installation handbook up to chapter 10, where it says to reboot. I did so, but I had the same problem as the user here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/networking-eth0- does-not-exist-gentoo-349330/ As suggested in there, I have recompiled the kernel with the tulip drivers (everything under the tulip subtree in make menuconfig), copied it to /boot, and booted it, but it still gives the same message. I have verified that I am booting the newly compiled kernel with the tulip drivers, but it still doesn't work. Note that I do not have the same ethernet card as is mentioned in the link above, and have not been able to find out exactly what it's name is, besides the fact that the name includes Tornado. Also note that it worked fine in the Gentoo minimal installation cd. To sum it up: How do I figure out what the name of my card is, and after that, what driver do I need? Post this output: lspci dmesg | grep something_relevant lscpi returns command not found, don't know what you mean by the dmesg thing. dmesg is working properly, if that's what you want to know. Thanks! Marcus Marcus, Are you using the lspci command as root? Thanks, Damien
