100% of the time, I am unable to save OOo documents to NFS directories in 9.3. What I get when I attempt to save is "General Error \ Input Output Error." I am left with a file with the attempted save name, 0 bytes.
The same file saves okay to local directories. Is there a fix somewhere?
It works fine here. What are the permissions for that directory? Something must've changed. I'm not running NIS anymore (three computer system), but user/group names and numbers are identical. In addition, no other program squawks, and neither did OOo until the one included in 9.3. -- "Apathy is not the problem, it's the solution"
plunked the disc in your dvd player. If you want a copy to your hard drive to view later, use vobcopy. This program copies the whole stripped of protection dvd to a directory, which you can watch later with ogle or copy to another dvd. No wonder the MPAA is afraid of this. Be forewarned though; Each film eats roughly 8.5 gigabytes. If you want to store a 120 movies, be prepared to buy a terabyte of storage and get familiar with LVM in yast. Also, I haven't gotten libdvdcss to work or even compile on my 64 bit system. I have been using a 32 bit spare laptop to rip the files. Presently what keeps you from ripping them to your own dvds is that they are dual, 8.5mb, and blank disks are way too expensive. I have a conspiracy theory to explain why the cost won't come down. It's easy to buy a dvd writer that will support dual writing, but right now I can't find discs for much less than $5 each. -- Proposed Additions to the PDP-11 Instruction Set: BBW Branch Both Ways BEW Branch Either Way BBBF Branch on Bit Bucket Full BH Branch and Hang BMR Branch Multiple Registers BOB Branch On Bug BPO Branch on Power Off BST Backspace and Stretch Tape CDS Condense and Destroy System CLBR Clobber Register CLBRI Clobber Register Immediately CM Circulate Memory CMFRM Come From -- essential for truly structured programming CPPR Crumple Printer Paper and Rip CRN Convert to Roman Numerals
