As far as doing them with Installfests, I have to say that will not work for now simply because we have been overfilling the room. We may have to talk to UAT about a bigger room even without the hackfesters. On Fri, May 11, 2012 at 8:51 PM, Lisa Kachold lisakach...@obnosis.comwrote: I have

Wow Mike. When was that? I have been doing Installfests virtually every month for 7 years or so and they have all been at UAT. I don't even know what or where GCC is. But really, there would be no reason to move that I am aware of. I just said we may be outgrowing room 208, not the facility.

You can try pressing ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a tty from the login screen. If that doesn't work you can choose the (recovery mode) from grub and choose drop to root console. On 05/12/2012 09:39 AM, betty wrote: I tried to install 12.04lts on one of my computers and I can get the sign in at the

yep all I had to do was to delete the lock file. Kinda a pain but oh well! Thanks for the help. Libre office should allow us the option of selecting to delete that file after it sees that it is in place! On Thu, May 10, 2012 at 3:40 PM, Lisa Kachold lisakach...@obnosis.comwrote: Hi Michael,

yeah. looks like I copied the files with the locks in place so I copied the locks. then when I closed the files and rsynced again it didn't delete the locks because rsyn doesn't delete things. I still think we should have the option of deleting the lock when libreoffice detects it! On Sat, May
