openoffice, FILE MISSING, ubuntu write NTFS

12-19-2009, 04:00 PM

...

Anybody help me to rescue the file.

Yesterday
I opened an .ods openoffice3.1 file on NTFS under Ubutnu 9.10, after a
little edit I closed it, concurrently, I type Fn+F12(hibernate shortcut
of my t43) to let my laptop hibernate, Today I cannot find this .ods
file at all. And I tried Finaldata under Windows, no result at all.

Can you explain why ? and what am I supposed to do for this file?

Thank you.

Tell us more. Is this all windows or is it Ubuntu on a NTFS
file system? What version of Open Office.

It sounds like you might have closed your laptop before the
file could be saved.

hi,

Thank you for your reply.
I use the openoffice 3.1 embed in ubuntu 9.10.
My labtop has dual OS: XP and ubuntu 9.0.* Xp on NTFS, while ubuntu on reiserfs.

That day , under Ubuntu, I accessed my .ods file on NTFS.

It seems just like you said, maybe I closed my laptop while it was still saving the file, maybe not jet finished.

The problem is that this file is extremely important, and I cannot find it anymore?

Maybe your backup contains an older version of the file that's still usable?

I am really new to Linux.
Thank you.

So the original .ods file was on windows. How did you get
Open Office to open a file on windows? Did you mount windows
onto your Ubuntu?

I think your original .ods should still be there on windows.

Your linux OO puts it's files in a special place on linux
that is set by you. Look there as well.

In a terminal try

find / -name filename*

if your original filename was foo.ods then filename* = foo*

yes, it is on windows, i think the windows disk is automatically mounted since I install and open ubuntu.

Till now I can find it no more on the NTFS, while other files stay fine.

Besides, I do not know how to find the pathway of auto storage. Can you tell me?

It would be helpful is you told us a bit more, i.e. when it doesn't
work do you get any error messages or what?

Anyway I'd suggest:-

find / -name 'filename*'

or, possibly, depending if the missing file has been on your system
more than 24 hours:-

locate filename
