Novatel Wireless MC950D on Kubuntu 9.10

All I had to do is:
- unmount the CD-ROM
- set a custom DNS server

Opening OpenOffice.org application through Java crashes

This is on Kubuntu 9.10.
If you see an error:
CE> QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread
CE> QPixmap: It is not safe to use pixmaps outside the GUI thread

when you try to open OpenOffice.org program (scalc, swriter, ...) using Java you can uninstall openoffice.org-kde or openofice.org-gtk packages. I'm still not able to pinpoint why this is crashing.

Open 7-Zip archives in Midnight Commander

Edit Midnight Commander's extension file and look for "7zip archives". You should see something like this:
# 7zip archives (they are not man pages)
shell/.7z
View=%view{ascii} 7za l %f 2>/dev/null

Now add:
Open=%cd %p#u7z

to get:
# 7zip archives (they are not man pages)
shell/.7z
View=%view{ascii} 7za l %f 2>/dev/null
Open=%cd %p#u7z
