Well, one of the things that seems to have reduced the start-up time for the spell checker is changing the default language!

I had

Local setting: English (Australia)
Default currency: AUD $ English (Australia)

Default languages for documents as GERMAN ????

I have no idea how that happened - my German's not that good.

Now the spell-checker is quicker - and the options are shorter too! Though there are far too many that have little relevance (guess I should post to Ooffice about this).

Urm,

"vmstat 1 > vmstat.txt

wait for about 30sec or so, then type

^C

post the output of vmstat.txt"

Gave me nothing. I can't find "vmstat.txt" and nothing appeared on screen in 
the terminal (also, what happened was I couldn't OPEN a terminal for a few seconds 
because it all froze/slowed down).

"^C" = Ctrl+C/c

"^C" = Shift+C/c

"^C" = Shift then ^ then C/c

(I wasn't exactly sure what the command was, sorry, so tried all of the above.

Thanks,

        Patrick

Hi,

Whilst using openoffice (1.1.2), if I do a spellcheck (right click on error) the check is slow to appear. If I choose the option to check the whole document, when I've finished, I get a box that says "The spellcheck is complete" and I can 'okay' it away. Whoever, when I do this, there is a grey box remaining on the screen, of the dimensions of the "The spellcheck is complete" box. The only way I can get rid of this is by scrolling the screen or minimising and then re-accessing.



This is a common problem with ooffice, I have just put up with it. It does this sometimes with inlined images after scrolling the text that is supposed to appear is missing where the imiage use to be and rescrolling will redisplay the text correctly.



X itself seems a lot slower at the moment too.

I'm using FC3, 3G P4, 512RAM.




Is there much disk actitvity? When it does it again run

vmstat 1 > vmstat.txt

wait for about 30sec or so, then type

^C

post the output of vmstat.txt



It's an odd problem that I've not had before.

I've closed X and restarted it but...

As usual, any help would be most appreciated.

Regards,

  Patrick
