problem with !microsoft Word: freezes when trying to save the text, at the file chooser dialogue. As a different user it works, though
-
→ I've already removed Normal.dot and the user registry settings for #msoffice. #crapware
-
→ While Word's file saving dialog is stuck, Excel's and Firefox's file chooser dialogue are also stuck. I have to kill all 3 processes

Have a !microsoft like problem with udisks2 on Debian 8 with Mate. Unmount external USB hdd throws "Error syncing /dev/sdg: Remote I/O error". Disk is unmounted though. Strangely no problem with flash media. Old udisks installed too, but removing makes no difference. - Still true: Never change a running system! Fuck udisks2!!!

@dennisgut !microsoft #word is my ennemy.

The MS #Word file chooser freeze problem seems to have improved, but I don't know why.
-
@vegos what happens when you mount & umount that filesystem from bash? And when you #sync afterwards?
-
Didn't try that. But fuser -m yielded a PID which was udisks2. I think I better make a backup of that disk on another one. There are my photo originals. Manuel mount and umount may work. I'll tell you later. Good luck with your word shit...
-
Could mount o.c. but not umount. Forgot the error. Perhaps busy. When I tried to umount with caja, same as when mounted with. But then, bash umount said already unmounted. eject -s yielded: last error: success! Perhaps the error message is erroneous. Fuck #udisks2 !

@cnngimenez I'm not a Microsoft user myself, but sometimes I have to support those products.

@mcscx @dennisgut It is our enemy all.
-
office in general is my enemy. no matter how it's called.
-
@marcus I too avoid using office applications. I prefet markdown and now I started learing #LaTeX.
-
@cyberkiller good idea – I've enabled that option now, was disabled before.I wonder if Word's file chooser will get its own process now

@dennisgut Microsoft should advertise the freezing file chooser dialogue & sell it for big money to SaudiArabia. "Instant Freezing Software"
