Openoffice.org-kde 3.0.1~rc1-2ubuntu2~intrepid1 Bugs

Jan 13

fenrisKDE, My Life, OpenOffice.org KDE4.2, OpenOffice No Comments

This new version fixed the previous bugs/crash ….. but .. mean while there is another bugs occures …… its about the openoffice.org-kde open dialog box ..

the bugs caused by the workaround we(go-oo developer team) did to get rc1 working…

[18:11] <_rene_> it’s a bug in debian and ubuntu, yes. because rc1s launcher was broken and i worked around it to get rc1 working
[18:11] <_rene_> that broke the kde fpicker. collateral damage
[18:11] <_rene_> it’s experimental packages anyway
[18:11] <_rene_> it was a deal of “fully broken” against “kde fpicker broken”

To Fix It :

1) open soffice

2) go to Tools -> Options

3) under OpenOffice.org – General , Open/Save dialogs :

just enable “[x] use OpenOffice.org dialogs” in the options

\o/ yay !!! now its work back … long live OpenOffice.org …

Creating domU using image

Jan 07

norlyMy Life No Comments

Provided centos image, centos.img in /mnt/sdb1/xen/
In this example Im using example as my domain name and centos image will be named as example.img

generate uuid for the domain and then create file example in /etc/xen/
[root@virtual]# uuidgen
659042a2-7c8f-4975-9dbf-b9a4113c094c  **This uuid will be use to create domU
[root@virtual]# vi /etc/xen/example

# Automatically generated xen config file
name = “example”
memory = “128″
disk = [ 'tap:aio:/mnt/sdb1/xen/example.img,xvda,w', ]
vif = [ 'mac=02:23:3e:8f:d0:6c, bridge=xenbr0', ]
uuid = “659042a2-7c8f-4975-9dbf-b9a4113c094c”
bootloader=”/usr/bin/pygrub”
vcpus=1
on_reboot   = ‘restart’
on_crash    = ‘restart’
sdl = 0
vnc = 1
vncunused = 1
keymap = “en-us”

Copy the centos image, to the image as you describe in the exampple file before
[root@virtual]# cp /mnt/sdb1/xen/centos.img /mnt/sdb1/xen/example.img

Now, you have to create domU
[root@virtual]# xm create -c example

It might take a moment to create domU. Next, after domain example is created, you have to give IP to the domain. First, you have to login into the domU.
[root@virtual]# xm console example
[root@virtual]# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

# Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704 Gigabit Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
BROADCAST=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
HWADDR=00:14:5e:bb:69:9e
IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx        // Change the IP Address
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
GATEWAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
PEERDNS=yes

Now, restart your network and you’re set to use domain example
