    See what luck you have opening it in LibreOffice; you might also try saving it as Office 97-2003 .doc and test whether that works better in Word/Wine or LO.

  4. Re: Watch out Unity, KDE, GNOME, et al: CDE is now FOSS

    Well, I built a tarball (dttar.Z), which ran to over 100 MB.
    Converting from Z to xz put it down to ~ 55 MB.
    I then split it up, getting 3.3, 14, and 39 MB tarballs.

  7. Re: Watch out Unity, KDE, GNOME, et al: CDE is now FOSS

    dtwm (Desktop(?) window manager) is the most important part; it provides the WM & panel.

    dtfile is the file manager. Apparently it handles...
  8. Re: Watch out Unity, KDE, GNOME, et al: CDE is now FOSS

    0. It sounds like you're starting it from console, not using dtlogin or gdm/lightdm/... Is that correct?

  9. Re: Watch out Unity, KDE, GNOME, et al: CDE is now FOSS

    Did you

    Because that sounds a lot like the X fallback (start Xterm if you can't find anything else)

    Also, which...

    [ubuntu] Re: Support for Intel GMA 3600?

    Sorry it took so long getting back to you...

    Mesa X11 is another name for the software renderer.
    If it mentions the hardware or manufacturer, it's hardware.

    To check for 3D:

    glxinfo|grep renderer
    Will probably say something about SGI, if you're using the in-kernel driver.
    SGI == Software 3d
    For the proprietary driver, you might get 3d accel.

    Check the changelogs in /usr/share/doc/<packagename> for what security fixes are included.
    Then check Launchpad. If there's no fix and no bug, file a bug. But Ubuntu may have backported the fixes.

    "Better late than never"
