OpenOffice error recovery

Delete 3 files (easier cut and paste these into terminal):


$ rm ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/registry/cache/org.openoffice.Office.Recovery.dat
$ rm ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Recovery.xcu
$ rm ~/.openoffice.org/3/user/backup/*


And these are the detail:


Under Windows (English), you could delete the files

C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Recovery.xcu

and

C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\registry\cache\org.openoffice.Office.Recovery.dat

along with the entire contents of

C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\OpenOffice.org2\user\backup\

The path names may be different under a non-English version of Windows, and under Linux, these files will be located in a subdirectory called .openoffice.org in your home directory.

EDIT: Deleting Recovery.xcu will reset the autosave interval back to its default value of 15 minutes. This can be changed under Tools | Options | Load/Save | General.

Googleearth 6 in Debian Squeeze

  1. $ sudo apt-get update
  2. $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
  3. Download deb package from http://earth.google.com
  4. $ sudo dpkg -i go*.deb
  5. If many dependency failures, this is the last working try: $ sudo apt-get install lsb-core lsb-release pax alien rpm rpm2cpio libelf1 librpm1 librpmbuild1 librpmio1 libelf1 librpm1 librpmio1 rpm-common
Hint: I did block (double click in the package) and middle click (anywhere in terminal) to get the dependency transferred at the cursor position.


Below is detail notes:
