Re: [libreoffice-users] Canon USA Printer Support are using LibreOffice?

[Tim-L--Elmira-NY]

I have gone to the BIOS and their "new" style of commands will not allow 
the what I have seen for booting from the DVD or USB.  I can now only 
boot directly to Windows or a broken GRUB.  If I could boot from 
something other than the hard drive, I would have been able to use my 
different repair DVDs.


Unless I have and enter the correct BIOS command, which I still have not 
found, I cannot get it to boot other than the hard drive.

Good day Tim:

Did you probe usb for boot repair disk (Burn it in a usb flash 
memory and would be boot there with your Bios). In GNU / Linux you can 
use UNetbootin, and in windows there are other similar solutions.


I hope this help,

Jorge Rodríguez

I have the other way around.

During an upgrade for Ubuntu, the computer crashed and messes up 
GRUB.  So now I have a 1TB drive with access to only 1/4 of it. The 
problem is the DVD cannot be set as a boot option.  BIOS has a weird 
way to set devices to be bootable.  My other laptop's BIOS is 
easier.  Of course its DVD boot commands will not work with the new 
ASUS's BIOS.  So with this problem I cannot run the repair disk, 
since it requires to be booted via the CD/DVD drive.


The laptop had been able to boot to from the DVD, which was the way I 
added Ubuntu in the first place.


If I cannot find the correct BIOS commands - or maybe the GRUB 
commands - to boot the repair disk, I would remove the hard drive and 
repair the drive via another Ubuntu laptop.  The only problem with 
that, I would loose my 4 year warranty.

Last year, I accidently erased Win10 in an attempt to create a dual

did it. So far I haven't missed it.

I would love to get it verified, but it would be a good

for LO if a big company like Canon uses LibreOffice.

I used to work for a company that used OpenOffice (this was before
LibreOffice was available).  I suspect the only reason they did was
because they were so d@mn cheap, they wouldn't pay for MS 
Office.  ;)



Well cheap or not, it is nice to have as many big companies using
LibreOffice as possible.

I bet there are a lot of people out there, and on these lists, that
are using LO not because of being "cheap".  It is nice to have a free
office suite but I prefer LO over MS Office. Just like I prefer to
use Linux over Win10 because of all of the viruses and other nasties
that Windows have, while Linux do not have these things infect their
systems.



And the suggestion that the latest crypt virus may have been
introduced to computers through a document macro makes me more
comfortable using LO without MSO on any win PCs.

Well, if you look at the CNN Headline News, they have stated that MS 
has

a patch for this virus, but wanted to charge some users for it. The
on-air comment seems to say that since MS had the patch, they should
have sent it out to ALL MS Windows users.  Plus, it the patch was
installed, most computers would not have been infected.

Fro me, I use Linux so I do not have the security problems as MS 
Windows
users.  I do have Win10, but rarely use it.  Most times I just go to 
the

Win 10 partition to run the update app.

I have reverted to 5.3.1.2 because of

I've found changes to graphs in Calc don't often stick unless I move the 
graph a smidgen. They're not lost but just don't display outside edit 
until the graph is shifted.


Possibly fixed in 5.3.3.2? Can't be sure yet.
