Re: [arch-general] liberoffice 3.4.2 strange behaviour with odt files
Hi,
I still think that even pacman -S
libreoffice-{base,calc,draw,impress,math,writer} will install
everything. We should provide:
pacman -S libreoffice which is what one expect to type to install everything.

An old odt file, created with libreoffice 3.4.1, around jul 20. Today when I
went to open it with libreoffice 3.4.2, I was asked for filter selection, the
available options being
- Help Content
- ODF chart
- Openoffice.org 1.0 chart
libreoffice has been split into multiple packages.
You need to install the individual packages:
pacman -S libreoffice-{base,calc,draw,impress,math,writer}

[arch-general] liberoffice 3.4.2 strange behaviour with odt files
Hello, I just faced a strange problem with libreoffice 3.4.2. An old odt file, created with libreoffice 3.4.1, around jul 20. Today when I went to open it with libreoffice 3.4.2, I was asked for filter selection, the available options being - Help Content - ODF chart - Openoffice.org 1.0 chart Clearly it is somehow confused and unable to open the file. kword can open the file just fine. Of course the formatting is not the same and I don't want to reformat it. Google didn't have much to offer on this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. -- Regards Shridhar

Re: [arch-general] Installation of libreoffice
I ran pacman -Syu on two different machines yesterday, one with KDE and
one with xfce. Neither asked me for anything to do with the language and
it reverted to German until I installed libreoffice-en-US. The default
US English had worked fine prior. I also had to do "pacman -S
libreoffice-{base,calc,impress,writer,math,draw} to get everything
running again as per the wiki on libreoffice.

[arch-general] [signoff] pcmciautils-018-1
Hi guys, I pushed an update to pcmciautils mainly to remove our custom udev rules file, which is no longer correct (after my recent changes to udev), and replace it with the upstream one. Since I was at it I also updated to the latest upstream release. I don't have the hardware to test this, and neither does tpowa, so I encourage signoffs also from general in the hopes that someone still cares about pcmcia. Please signoff both arches. Cheers, Tom

It was not me that was using clyde. ;-) But it indeed seems to be related to clyde. If you have already installed a language pack pacman -Syu keeps and upgrades this language pack. But if you have no language pack installed pacman -Syu shows the language chooser. I guess that this chooser was not presented to this user is an issue with clyde. Remain the issues that libreoffice-langpack is in both depends and optdepends of libreoffice-common, which is at least redundant, and the libreoffice group issue which ought to be fixed by removing 'libreoffice' from provides of libreoffice-common.

If you install libreoffice-common for the first time libreoffice-langpack is installed as a dependency and then you get the chooser, but not if you upgrade libreoffice with pacman -Syu. Nevertheless libreoffice-langpack currently is in both depends and optdepends in libreoffice-common which is at least redundant. Well, the language pack issue mentioned in the bug report regarding the libreoffice group issue seems to be related to clyde, not to pacman. Heiko

Try to login with a fresh new account. If the problem persists, it might be due to the kwin compositor not liking your graphics driver. In that case, you might try to disable compositing (set "OpenGLIsUnsafe" to true in your ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc) and restart KDE. If that works, you might try to change some advanced options in the Desktop Effects settings (e.g., try to disable "Use OpenGL 2 Shaders") and try to re-enable compositing. You might also consider to file a bug upstream. Stefano

And 'libreoffice-langpack' needs to be removed from depends of libreoffice-common. It doesn't make much sense to have it in depends and in optdepends anyway. I think it's better to keep it in optdepends, maybe with a post install note that no language package has been installed. Because of this someone got his language pack been uninstalled and replaced by a different one by pacman -Syu. See the bug report I have mentioned earlier. Heiko

I think of some packages that have been split and put within a group sharing one of the package name. Maybe the way pacman handle groups must be changed to let user have choice, even if group, package or provides are the same. -- Cédric Girard

So it in fact doesn't provide the full office suite. Heiko

Definitely provides should be removed. The software is called LibreOffice so pacman -S libreoffice is supposed to install the complete office suite. Heiko

[arch-general] Plasma-desktop in KDE 4.7 can not start up
Hi, After upgrade to KDE 4.7, plasma-desktop can not start anymore. Login in from kdm will stop at the splash screen. Switch to console by ctrl + alt + F1 and then run "top" plasma-desktop is using 100% CPU. Run "pkill plasma-desktop" , Login continue. But screen is black. I check .xsession-error file and found nothing special. Does anyone encounter the same problem? How to find more info to track down this problem? Thanks.

If you run pacman -Ss libreoffice, you see that there seems to be a libreoffice group. But when you run pacman -S libreoffice, only libreoffice-common is installed... Best Regards, Guillermo Leira
