the problem is a bug in the OO 2.4 :) here is the info: Open Office 2.4 Issue 86811 so i will go back to 2.3.x :) thank you all :)

so i've checked my fstab file and this is the file after i tried to change a few things: /dev/sda1 / ext3 relatime 1 1 /dev/sda7 /boot ext3 relatime 1 2 /dev/sda10 /home ext3 relatime 1 2 /dev/hda /media/cdrom auto umask=0022,users,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 /dev/sda5 /mnt/files vfat umask=0,users,iocharset=iso8859-1,exec 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/win_c2 ntfs-3g umask=0,user,locale=utf8,exec 0 0 /dev/sdb5 /mnt/win_d ntfs-3g umask=0,user,locale=utf8,exec 0 0 /dev/sda8 /usr ext3 relatime 1 2 /dev/sda9 /var ext3 relatime 1 2 /dev/sda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 if i try and put iso8859-1 in the ntfs-3g mounts i get the following error after doing remount: WARNING: Couldn't set locale to 'ISO8859-1' thus some file names may not be correct or visible. Please see the potential solution at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#locale when i run the locale -a command i get a list and in the list there is: C CP1251 en en_AU en_AU.ISO-8859-1 en_AU.UTF-8 en_BE en_BE.ISO-8859-1 en_BE.ISO-8859-15 en_BE.UTF-8 en_BW en_BW.ISO-8859-1 en_BW.UTF-8 en_CA en_CA.ISO-8859-1 en_CA.UTF-8 en_DK en_DK.ISO-8859-1 en_DK.UTF-8 en_GB en_GB.ISO-8859-1 en_GB.UTF-8 en_HK en_HK.ISO-8859-1 en_HK.UTF-8 en_IE en_IE.ISO-8859-1 en_IE.ISO-8859-15 en_IE.UTF-8 en_IN en_IN.UTF-8 en_NG en_NG.UTF-8 en_NZ en_NZ.ISO-8859-1 en_NZ.UTF-8 en_PH en_PH.ISO-8859-1 en_PH.UTF-8 en_SG en_SG.ISO-8859-1 en_SG.UTF-8 en_US en_US.ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8 en_ZA en_ZA.ISO-8859-1 en_ZA.UTF-8 en_ZW en_ZW.ISO-8859-1 en_ZW.UTF-8 he hebrew he_IL he_IL.CP1255 he_IL.ISO-8859-8 he_IL.UTF-8 ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-13 ISO-8859-14 ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-2 ISO-8859-3 ISO-8859-4 ISO-8859-5 ISO-8859-7 ISO-8859-9 KOI8-R KOI8-U POSIX UTF-8 if i choose he_IL.UTF-8 then i can see hebrew files in my ntfs mounts but still not in my fat32 :( any ideas ?

i think so, i'm mounting it with drake but how can check to be sure ?

Hi all, I've noticed that in the last week all of a sudden my hebrew folders / files are gone from my windows partitions (in winXP i can see them). i'm mounting all my fat32/ntfs as 8859-1 coding but still i can't see them (i used to see :() anyone as a clue ? please ?

but how can i change the language format ?

Hi all, I've upgraded my OO to 2.4 (I'm using MDV 2008.0 so i did it manually) and i have a weird problem when I'm opening Word 2003 documents some (not all but most) of the digits in the file become Arabic digits instead of Latin one's. most of the cases are in Hebrew fonts but changing the font won't fix the problem :( any suggestions ? please ? thanks, igotnoluck

i think i will take your advice and wait until the end of my exams (yes it is because of the strike) and i will reinstall the spring edition on a blank computer instead of upgrading :) thank you all, noluck

Hi all, i have a week until my exams will start and I'm thinking of using this time to reinstall my mandriva 2008 to 2008.1? should I upgrade or not ? thanks, noluck [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman]

I have a 64bit CPU and I'm using 2008-Free (32 bit) and nothing is out of the ordinary here :) in the beginning of my Linux experiments I've installed the 64bit version and there where a lot of problems (drivers, programs, packages) after i moved to the 32 bit everything is smooth (so far :) )
