Drat!! The problem seems to have gone away while I was testing things. I haven't actually changed anything - just started it using "nomail" option and had a general play around.

I bet the problem...

Did this and Opera starts immediately. Clearly there's something in my .opera folder causing the problem!

If I can't get anywhere with the strace results I'll have to gradually build up a new...

I've had a number of problems with pastebinit! Here's how it went:

Did "strace opera 2>&1 | pastebinit" also monitored progress using System Monitor. Opera eventually got started a minute or so...

Starting from terminal I get this:



I looked into this a few days ago. VDPAU is for Nvidia cards - I have an ATI Radeon 2100 on board.

Interestingly I just did a Kernel upgrade and after the...

Opera 12.14 on Ubuntu 12.04 amd64.

Very slow startup - over a minute and lots of hard-drive activity. Other apps not affected so I think this is an Opera problem.
This only happens on the first...

There are several other threads dealing with this, for instance:

Same problem here.
Tried reinstalling gnome-secreensaver - no change.
Tried uninstalling gnome-screensaver - no change.

I have now installed gnome-screensaver again - still no change.

Solved it! I added these lines to the Screen section of xorg.conf:



I found this in a couple of places, this being one of them:

but got the message:

The latest OOo updates, via Update Manager, appear to have solved my remaining problems - I now have working help files.

I have just installed the latest OO0 3.1 updates via Update Manager, and my help files now work.
Just to recap, I am using Openoffice 3.1 on Hardy. I updated my sources.list file to include the...

I have just followed the instructions on the softpedia link given by nachos99. It didn't install the help packages so I did this using Synaptic.
It made no difference at all! I still have no help...

This also worked for me - thanks.

Some packages were uninstalled- one was the english british language help package. When I try to reinstall it, Synaptic wants to uninstall most of Open Office...

I'm not sure why it works, but I think it is something to do with the release of Open Office 3.1. My installed version was 3.0 but the descriptions on Synaptic referred to 3.1. Interestingly, when I...

This worked for me:

Open Synaptic and go to "openoffice". All my installed items had green blocks, but also had stars within those green blocks, which meant that there was an upgrade. So I clicked...

Likewise, I tried to do the partial update and it wouldn't do it.

I should add that I am not using the version from the official Hardy repository. I changed my sources.list so that I can use the...

I seem to have the same problem. Nautilus is detecting my computer name incorrectly (ROB-HARDYDESKTO instead of ROB-HARDYDESKTOP). When I click on the icon Nautilus cannot find the shared folders. If...

I'm no expert on this, but it could be worth adding the "virtual" line and giving it a try.
Here is my xorg.conf:

I am no expert, and someone who knows more might want to correct me, but this is what I have found:

Versions Feisty and earlier got all their graphics info from xorg.conf.

Gutsy and Hardy...

I've never had to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in Hardy. The last time was in Feisty and it did ask questions about video. I know that the video arrangements are different in Hardy to previous...

I found this on the forums and it worked for me:

Edit the xorg.conf file by doing : sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
