Re: How to find the lost 'installed application' - OpenOffice.org Impress
Thank you, Camaleón! To manually create file association or create menu entry is not my goal. I know it can solve the cannot-open-problem, but what I really want to know is where GNOME configures the file associations and menu entries, why it cannot list OOo Impress in the installed applications list.

Re: How to find the lost 'installed application' - OpenOffice.org Impress
I said I don't have any idea why the Hidden=true entry was generated, but it doesn't matter now. I guess the reason is: maybe after I reinstalled Debian, I copied all the user files to the new system, something that contained configurations of LibreOffice disturbed newly installed OpenOffice.org, so it behaves abnormally. 2012/8/29, Ryan Duan duanpa...@gmail.com: 2012/8/29, Camaleón noela...@gmail.com: On Wed, 29 Aug 2012 20:41:52 +0800, Ryan Duan wrote: Thank you, Camaleón!

How to find the lost 'installed application' - OpenOffice.org Impress
Hi, I use Debian squeeze, now it cannot find OpenOffice.org-Impress to open odp and ppt files, but Impress does have been installed, I can use command ooffice -impress to open it. I'm sure the following packages are well installed: openoffice.org, openoffice.org-impress, openoffice.org-gnome. Details: 1. .odp file handler isn't Impress, .ppt file handler missing, Impress missing in installed applications list. Right click .odp file, expect to open it with Impress by default, but the default handler app becomes Open with Document Viewer. Further more, click Open with other application..., in the installed applications tab, I can find all of OpenOffice.org entries except OpenOffice.org Impress. 2. In the main menu Applications - Office, there are all the OpenOffice entries except OpenOffice.org Impress. I didn't remember when and how I got it lost. 3. The above phenomena occur in my default user - the one created during the installation of Debian. I created a new user with menu System - Administration - Users and Groups with the account type being Desktop User, in the new user, everything is OK! 4. I tried reinstall or dpkg-reconfigure package openoffice.org-impress, but no help. Does anybody have good idea to help me fix it? Thanks!

VirtualBox CD/DVD image cannot be removed
Hi all, Have you encountered the following problem? The bug can be reproduced by doing the following: 1. Attach a CD/DVD image to a guest OS; 2. Take a snapshot; 3. Delete the snapshot. Then the image cannot be released nor removed any more; it remains attached to that missing snapshot. Even I delete the image from the file system, the entry in Virtual Media Manager can't be released. My environment: VirtualBox: 4.0.10_Debian r72436 (installed from the backports) OS: Debian squeeze 6.0.5 with Linux 2.6.32-5-686 Should I report the bug to the Debian community or to VirtualBox.org directly? Does anyone know how to report a bug to VirtualBox.org? Thanks! Ryan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Oh sorry! While I was preparing for reporting the bug, I found I made a mistake.
