Thread: Open Office 3.4 won't launch: 12.04


hi all,

title suggests. click oo component , nothing happens. can't launch office, writer, draw; nothing.

thinking java checked system requirements on oo site , tells me linux need 'glibc2 version 2.11.1 or higher', can't find anywhere install (and not installed).

fresh install of 12.04 lts (less 24 hours) , installed oo repository:

http://launchpad.net/upubuntu.com/office/ubuntu precise

ideas??? seemed install okay when issue:

code:
ooffice -writer
... still nothing. try:

code:
soffice -writer
ditto.

yea, weird stuff happening. checked synaptics , open office installed none of components or .base! hmm. installed ones use - writer, draw, impress - still same. when click them don't launch. nothing happens, nor terminal.

here's strange bit; have libreoffice base, draw, , writer in apps>office menu! did not install them, though did see them in synaptics (and made point install ones office suite). oo , libreo amalgamating??? same?

odd. 10.04 crashed , burned no reason detect. install 12.04 , have had nothing crash reports. getting there though , once sorted out of woods ... have thought of hardware win7 shows no signs.



ps: naturally, 'soffice -writer' launches libreoffice writer, 'ooffice -writer' still nothing.

Thread: Can not create raid array: mdadm: no raid-devices specified.

hello! i'm trying setup software raid on server, fail @ first step: code: root@sandnabba:/root# mdadm -c /dev/md0 -c512 -l5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 mdadm: no raid-devices specified. what doing wrong!? are sure -c equivalent --create? also, think need space after -c , -l options, value shouldn't command, or should have = between. @ man pages mdadm , double check spelling.

hi, if developing platform independent software in linux using gtk+/gtkmm , you've managed cross compile windows, guide you. i'm posting because after researching topic myself, encountered many posts people have abandoned gtk+/gtkmm wxwidgets because of gtks ugly default appearance in windows/wine. gtk+ themeable in windows/wine gnome. have set correctly . . . here's how. guide gtkmm gtk+ similar. (1) firstly, download , install gtkmm windows using wine. (you have if have cross compiled app windows) https://live.gnome.org/gtkmm/mswindows (2) run these commands create proper directory structure.
