...just confirming this on the same graphics chip as the above posters.
Here you go:

This worked up until the new unbreakable X.org. Since then I've had constant trouble with dual screen - switching on the fly does not work any more, TV-out does not work at all and I've had serious...
If you don't want to mess up your stable OOo2.4 setup, following this guide gives you a fully functional OOo3beta to play with, without touching either your 2.4 or your config files. Just did it, and...
You could make a backport request for it... Might be worth a try.

Whoa...the speed! It seems they're finally getting rid of all those leaks, and the slowness.
Installation worked like a charm.
Meborc,
When you installed OOo3, did it overwrite your OOo2?
Has anyone had success in testing OpenoOffice.org 3.0 testing on Ubuntu, without messing up the 2.4 version in Ubuntu?
There is a Debian package available here:...
This post captures my feeling quite nicely, actually: http://beranger.org/index.php?article=2484
I have seen that running KDE (and QT as well, afaiks) apps in Gnome quickly fills up my 1GB RAM. I'd say that's the biggest problem about not caring which DE the application is written for is. That...
I just came across Dolphin (available in repositories). A really good Nautilus-replacement in KDE :)
Here's how my desktop looks currently. I'm pretty pleased with it.
Manmower: How did you do that? I don't mean colours, etc. but actual start menu, menu system, nautilus, etc.?
Thanks for the suggestion on dcopserver in Gnome. I'll try that.
How about the...
After three years on Gnome, I decided to install Kubuntu on my work-laptop two days ago, just to see what it's like. Is it just me, or does KDE seem more mature?
I'm impressed by the added...
I just got a Microsoft Wireless Presenter 3000 (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/Presenter/productdetails.aspx?pid=092) that wasn't auto-detected by Ubuntu (Edgy).
Here's output from dmesg:

There's an article in today's Financial Times about Mark Shuttleworth's Ubuntu/Canonical "business". It's accessible online for anyone interested:...
You'll be happy to know that FileZilla 3 will be available for Linux as well. You can test a nightly build by visiting http://filezilla-project.org/nightly.php. Simply unpack to a directory and click...
Flight CD should be reasonably free of showstoppers. Meaning that if you grab the nightly build, you might be able to install it, but it might wreck everything you have. With the flight CD there is...
That link doesn't say anything about setting up two nameservers, does it?
Only issue I have so far, is that VHCS doesn't configure the DNS (bind9) for me. It seems as if the VHCS installation only supports one nameserver on one server. However, most domain names requires...
I'm not sure how far I'm able to pull this. But I actually had a Debian Sarge server, with VHCS2 installed through apt-get from repository It was working fine.
Today I simply changed the sources...
How do you do this? I have to switch between Gnome and E17. Is it possible to integrate?
Any way of prelinking openoffice.org2 only? That's the only app that takes ages to load, even with my tweaked memory settings in the prefs.
As far as I can see, the ooqstart only preloads ooo1,...
The previous Ubuntu CDs (Warty and Hoary) have not automatically mounted my HDs. I haven't yet tried the Breezy live preview. Anyone know if Breezy will do this automatically?
Even if Breezy does,...
