Just to be sure my original install wasn't the issue, I did a clean install of Pardus 2007.2 with the test and contrib repositories. But after the reinstall I still have the same problems. Writer works fine, but all the other Open Office programs lock up and suck the life from my laptop. Anyone else have this issue?
Edit 1: Until a few weeks ago, I had no need for anything but Writer, but when I went to open up the others, is when it hit me. I've uninstalled OOo and will compile the core from source sometime this weekend. Hopefully this'll help.
Edit 2: Well, it seems to be the update to Open Office. *sigh* Due to my current needs, Pardus will have to fall back to my secondary distro. As soon as I figure out how to fix the majority of these issues, I plan on making Pardus my #1 again.
Edit 3: Okay, the bad update was from the test repository. Clean install and update with just the pardus-2007.2 repo left it working and happy. That solves a chuck of them.
Now to figure out the printer...
