    USB stick and opening OO2 thingies...

    I had some office docs on a 256 MB USB stick, crammed it into my front USB port, konqueror fires up, and I browse to the files. When I click on one of those .doc files, OO2 starts up then dies off in my systray like a 400 lb. man clutching his chest on a treadmill.

    I can open up OO2 first instead, then browse to the USB path (/media/usbdisk?) and open 'em up that way just fine. But that would be like me applying 2 of those electric heart shakers to the man. And I'm no doctor, just a lazy linux user. No realy biggy, but thought I'd report my experience.

      Have you tried updating OOo2?

      Here's the repo:
      Code:
      ## OpenOffice.org 2.0
deb [url]http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/OOo2[/url] ./

        I think KOffice has better support for .doc files than OpenOffice.

          No, sir.  I haven't taken the plunge yet.  I ran across one thread about the latest OO2 and buggines- err, feature richness!, and decided to slap it on my 2006 new year's resolution list instead.

          I mean, my files on the USB stick open up in OO just fine, but just not from konqueror when I click on 'em.  I have to open them from the OO2 dialog "open" thingy.

          When I get the time for an ~80MB (or whatever it is) download, I'll give 'er a shot. If someone already has OO2 installed and can test that for me, I'd light a candle for you here at the house and sacrifice one small chicken in your honor.

            Nope, still not fixed. You might want to file a bug.

                Will do.  And thanks for checking.

                So, what's it gonna be? I have three different candle scents here.  Spiced Cranberry, Pears & Berries, or Vanilla Cookie?  Oh, and I plan on eating the chicken afterwards too, so gimme a wish now and I'll throw in some extra voodoo for ya as I crack the wishbone.
