GUI to download LibreOffice - beta quality
Hello 01micko
I`ve got some massage by trying get libreoffice:
what does it mean?
I am using lupu 5.2 with xfce
I`ve got some massage by trying get libreoffice:
Code: Select all
Pupmode 13 is unsupported, sorry
I am using lupu 5.2 with xfce
Yes, well I guess that doesn't mean much... I have changed the message to "USB and DVD installs are unsupported". Reason is that you need lots of RAM, sure, I can do a test for that, but at the moment I'll wait until we see if this app is stable enough.
Thanks for report.
ver 0.6 is posted, the program quits if you choose "testing" and there is no testing version and recommends you get the stable version. It also quits if the servers are unresponsive with a "try again later" message.

Hi Mick,
for your interest:
I just tried to build LibO_3.4.0rc2. It downloads OK, but fails to build the sfs.
Here is the output from a terminal:

Hi Rolf
Thanks for heads up.
Well 3.4 is stable now so I updated the script to grab either 3.3.2 or 3.4.0, both in the stable branch. By the look of your errors the downloads weren't complete
They did change a lot of stuff so failure was inevitable anyway. The .desktop files are all changed.. they add that annoying "%U" to the exec line which fails in puppy, also they have modified the call paths, which actually is an improvement, I need to do less hacking in the script. I have added code to remove that %U and fix the icon paths if the version is greater than or equal to 3.4.0.
(see first post)
Have fun!

Hi Mick,
thanks for get_libreoffice-0.7.pet. Works fine now in Lupu 5.25 for 3.4.
Maybe you can help me to understand two mysteries?
Mystery 1:
First I used it in Icepuppy 013. Downloading, building sfs and mounting OK, but I'm not able to start any LibreOffice program. Also not after reboot. E.g. Draw:
Menu->Graphic->LibreOffice 3.4 Draw doesn't work.
/usr/share/applications/libreoffice3.4-draw.desktop doesn't work.
/opt/libreoffice3.4/share/xdg/draw.desktop doesn't work.
Running the last one in a terminal, I get 'Permission denied'
Permission set and running again, I get:

@wuwei
very strange, indeed. have you tested another Puppy with your installed new Libre Office?
So it doesn't seem to be a problem of Mick's pet and it doesn't seem to be a problem of icepuppy (at last not only).

Printing problem, Lo3.4
Hi, wuwei,wuwei wrote:rhadon wrote:

OO runs fine without any problems.
That's strange, too.
As you know I installed Lo3.4 with your help and have been testing it. For the information of those here I would suggest not rushing into it. It works but is reportedly buggy. My concern is that it doesn't print - at all. Tronkel is pursuing this on the Lo users list now, I see.
Hi rhadon, wuwei, Henry
I just booted into Wary 512 and am testing out libreoffice3.4 I built from the script in spup and it seems sane to me.
Rolf, trying to run the DOTdesktop files doesn't work.
The exec line in most of them should read:
Exec=libreoffice3.4 --draw (or --writer or --base or whatever)
You can run that command in a terminal
libreoffice3.4 --draw and draw should start, working for me in Wary.
This is the big change from previous versions where they were using the Openoffice method of calling the scripts in the program directory
Some thing like:
/opt/libreoffice3.4/program/sdraw
I wouldn't be surprised if those scripts disappear in future versions.
So just check the .desktop files and make sure they have that exec line. The only mod the script does to that line is remove the %U argument that was in the original. (apart from adjusting the icon path to fit with puppy's menu system).
By the way.. there should be a file in /usr/bin called libreoffice3.4 which is a symlink to /opt/libreoffice3.4/program/soffice.

Fortunately Libre Office 3.4 is not the only available Office Suite.
None of these problems were present in LO3.3 or in Open Office 3.3.
To reiterate:
LO3.4 runs fine, prints and is entirely without any unusual behaviour in these Puppies:
525
spup
432
It does not even start in
ICE012
It does start but won't accept Java and won't print in
Wary 512
All of these are the exact same /mnt/home "installation" with starters dragged to the respective desktop.
Thank you Micko for the hint with the content of the .desktop files. Those are present after an SFS has been installed. I might try this route some time later, but for the time being this is just a caveat against LO3.4. With several alternatives available, there is not exactly a pressing need to get this small problem resolved.

Thanks for clarification wuwei.
I just installed Java update 24 (tho it's actually up to 26) to Wary and it's ok.. however with all the problems surfacing I think maybe the libre guys made the "stable" call too early.
I am of the opinion that the app is still a bit immature, still finding it's feet after a major fork from OpenOffice. As you say, alternatives are there.

No print in Lo3.4
To clarify about the non-printing problem I have with 3.4: This is in the same perfectly stable version of QNop12 that I always use.
Lo3.4 will not even start to print from, e. g. Writer. Other apps, like Gimp, print as usual to my Laserjet 2100 and PhotoSmart 4480. I now have both 3.4 and 3.3 installed. 3.3 prints. 3.4 does not but seems to work otherwise.
I noticed Tronkel's posts to a forum here:
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Li ... 26425.html He starts:
"Has anyone had a printing problem with 3.4.0?
3.2.2 was fine in this regard.
3.4.0 shows a correctly installed CUPS printer but refuses to actually print the job.
What has changed between the two versions?"

Hi 01micko,
Your "GUI to download LibreOffice" program worked perfectly in your latest spup to prepare and install stable version 3.4. It is working great, printing is also fine, I haven't observed the problems with this one as reported previously.
Thanks for keeping this up-to-date, I know that you are shooting at a moving target since they keep updating it. Incidentally, the unstable versions listed as available don't appear to be the latest.
Above also posted on spup thread.
Cheers,
Jim

As far as printing is concerned - OK, I'm happy with Lo3.4 now for my purposes. I can't print out an .odt but I can save it as a .pdf and print it from the .pdf reader.
Hi DC
Actually, I did intend to support FD and LHP 64.. there is commented code already in the script. I think the paths were different or something and it required extra coding. I'll look at that for the next version.

One little request
Would it be easy / hard to make a version for Fatdog 520? (i.e. x86-64)
DC
See main post
So far the main code has survived since LibreOffice-3.4.0 was released, now up to 3.4.3. This will likely change when they get to 3.5x, as some stuff is hard coded to 3.4. Let me know as soon as this app fails and I'll fix it, or if you are adventurous fix it yourself and post fix here.
