 hi folks,
 Suse 10.3 and the last version of openoffice.

 Sometimes I have to write a letter and want to use openoffice.
 but this time since some months it went wrong

 nice letter and save (or save as) it. At that moment the wordprocessor
 freezes completely the only thing I can do is logoff.

 I logged in as root, same problem
 I removed and re-installed open office, same problem
 I set back my 'immidiate after update to 10.3' imagebackup back, same
 problem I deleted the ooo-2.0 directory in my homedir, same problem.

 Has anybody an idea wat it can be ?

It might be the bug 
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=333815.

It should work after you install the OpenOffice_org-kde package. If it does 
not help, please report a bug.

As a workaround, you might try to enable the check 
box Tools/Options.../OpenOffice.org/General/Use OpenOffice.org dialogs. 


Note that I would like to fix the bug #333815 in a next maintenance update.

 1. The exit command does nothing  (menu File Exit or ctrl Q)
 2. The save or save-as command freezes the whole application, logoff is the

I believe that the exit command problem is related to the freeze. If there is 
a part of OOo freezed, the behavior of the whole application is undefined...

This is an old issue that does not seem want to go away, and for some
reason it is unique to openOffice on Linux (possibly because openOffice
has to run both on Windoze and *NIX ). I have yet to come across another
application which has this problem.

It is usually something to with file locks on a samba mounted cifs file
system and as AFAIK security is not reported be a contributory factor.
What would be interesting here is info on the server fs and the samba
settings on the file share.

Here is a guess, try mounting your home share and see if you get the

This is problem is yesterday mailed as  openoffice freezes at save command.
I re-edited the problem

Used: Suse 10.3(x86-64) openoffice 2.3.0

I have upgraded my system from suse 10.2 to suse 10.3

After the upgrade i have the following problem using the wordprocessor or
writing spreadsheets (other functionality not tested).

1. The exit command does nothing  (menu File Exit or ctrl Q)
2. The save or save-as command freezes the whole application, logoff is the
only solution.

I set my last 10.2 backup back and everything worked fine.
I set my first (immediate after upgrade to 10.3) backup back and the problem
was there.
I logged in as root and have the same problem
I re-installed openoffice, same problem
I deleted in my homedir the ooo-2.0 directory then this was recreated by
openoffice, same problem
I checked all accesrights of the used directories, all correct.

Does anybody else have this problems

Does somebody have any idea what it can be.

While I don't have a fix for that problem, you don't have to log out. 
Just press Ctl-Alt-Esc and a skull mouse cursor appears.  Just click on

Good point. Hmm, the .oxt files are not associated with OOo. We need to 
register the MIME on the system and mention it in the right OOo-related

Could you please open a bug for this, so it does not get lost? I am sorry, I

typical...) it started behaving quite odd: some components, like Spreadsheets, 
are missing...

These are the only oo-commands available:

ooconfigooffice ooimpress   ootool  oowriter
oodraw  oofromtemplate  oomath  ooweb

To make things even more interesting, OOo recognizes the spreadsheets created 
as .odt files but can't open them...

Finally, these are the OOo packages I have installed at home now:

# rpm -qa | grep -i openoffice
OpenOffice_org-kde-2.3.0.1.2-4.1
OpenOffice_org-math-2.3.0.1.2-4.1

[opensuse] OpenOffice Question

2007-10-26 Thread Kai Ponte
I was just trying to open a file in order to make a spreadsheet. (It is a 
comma-delimited file which is the result of a sql query.)

I can't seem to open a spreadsheet in OpenOffice. I try and make a new file, 
try to open Excel files and all I get is some chart tool.

If I try to type in Run  Calc, I get KCalc. 

I looked and it seems I have OOo 2.3.0.1 installed. Am I missing something?

Hi Kai

I'm still on 2.0.4, but when I open a csv file from openoffice, I get
the standard Text Import dialogue. 

The open sequence: File-Open-select file-Open.

I have 3.2.0.1 also and no problem% it opens xls and if I'm trying to
open csv file, I get text import dialog.

I did not install KCalc though.

OOo spreadsheet module is called oocalc. Can you call it from command line?

On the other issues I found the situation is bit inconsistent, some

some samba tweaks, now no longer work, but not all of them. Does not
seem to be any pattern to this...

I have also found something new... I can print envelopes if I just
select the envelope pages, but as a part a large document page format
goes strange. However, I am experiencing a similar problem across a
range of applications... so I am not sure what is responsible..

Hi!
Starting from 2.3.x, opensuse (or ooffice.org?) splits OpenOffice into a
bunch of rpms. If you install OpenOffice.org, you only have the common base,
and one of the less important products.

Search for openoffice in the package mangement, and install all that appear
sensible ... starting from OpenOffice_org-calc-*, I presume.

Hope this helps,

Juraj,

You can browse (Firefox or Konqueror):
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/UNSTABLE/openSUSE_10.3/repodata/
and select component that you like. 

Each component has page with details and changelog where you can see what 
milestone is used, if any new is introduced. 

Milestone is 'oog680-m5' and it was marked 'OOo-2.3 final'. 

After latest online update my regular 10.3 OpenOffice is the the same 
milestone; checked using Kazunari Hirano tip.

 And now I can see  have solved the problem:

 In /usr/lib, I have /usr/lib/ooo-2.2 and a symlink /usr/lib/ooo-2.0

 In /usr/share I found an ooo subdir and a ooo-2.0 subdir. I moved
 whatever was in ooo ro ooo-2.0 and replaced it with a symlink, just in
 case something needs it.

 All this mix up dates back to a long solved fonts problem with V2.1 or
 2.2, which necessitated keeping 2 versions around  until  it was fixed.

 Thanks for your help - and what a grind. Even with my symlinks, things
 like this should just not happen.

You are welcome. Thanks for the description of the problem.

I agree that it should work even with the symlinks. I have already solved some 
similar problems, see http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=81138. 
Evidently, it was not enough. I am not sure if I would have time to look at 
the other symlink problems anytime soon. You know, there are many bugs in 
each software and we have to solve them by priorities. This problem affects 
only few users, workaround exists...

I am sorry for the inconvenience.

 I am beginning to suspect more and more that there are some directory

 complete uninstall, cleanup and re-install.
 

 The package OOo-2.3 is split into more pieces. The noarch stuff is moved 
 to /usr/share.

 The missing files are in the package OpenOffice_org-icon-themes, see
 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/STABLE/openSUSE_10.2/noarch/OpenOffice_org-icon-themes-2.3.0.1.2-5.1.noarch.rpm

 It is strange. There is hard dependency on this package from the main package 
 OpenOffice_org.

 Anyway, could you please check if you have it installed?

 If it is installed and the problem persists, could you please try the 
 following?

   rpm -V OpenOffice_org-icon-themes
   rpm -qil OpenOffice_org-icon-themes


 I am sorry, I should have asked you to check this package in the beginning. I 
 was mixed by your answer that all packages are installed...



   
The package is installed. The current version is 2.3.0.1.2-5.1
and the rpm -qil output is

Summary : Icon Themes for OpenOffice.org
Description :
This package provides various icon themes for the OpenOffice.org office
suite.

/usr/share/ooo-2.0
/usr/share/ooo-2.0/share

/usr/share/ooo-2.0/share/config/images_industrial.zip
/usr/share/ooo-2.0/share/config/images_tango.zip

And now I can see  have solved the problem:

In /usr/lib, I have /usr/lib/ooo-2.2 and a symlink /usr/lib/ooo-2.0
pointing to the 2.2. It seems to want .../ooo-2.0 all the way.

In /usr/share I found an ooo subdir and a ooo-2.0 subdir. I moved
whatever was in ooo ro ooo-2.0 and replaced it with a symlink, just in
case something needs it.

All this mix up dates back to a long solved fonts problem with V2.1 or
2.2, which necessitated keeping 2 versions around  until  it was fixed.

Thanks for your help - and what a grind. Even with my symlinks, things
like this should just not happen.

function has been depreciated...

(Been meaning to tweak this template so I can use it from both Windows
and Linux platforms without having two distinct copies for some time
anyway)

 Saving to the cifs mount was slow with 2.0.0 but worked with OpenOffice

I also need to establish whether this is really cifs related or not, and

causing problems now with the new version (i.e. the original problem has
been fixed :-) )...(however I cannot remember what exactly I did :-)...
whatever it was it worked till now)

I am working on something else at the moment, and not really in the
position to give this the attention it deserves.

I will raise it in bugzilla once I have something more concrete to
report, and I am certain its nothing that I doing which is causing the
problem...as no one else is reporting a similar issue I think the latter
is quite likely... if anyone else is having this problem hopefully they
will make themselves known and I will raise with the little info I have...

 You need to use strace32 if you have 32-bit OOo on 64-bit system.


   
I still have the problem - but I may not be able to do much until the

BTW, I had considered completely uninstalling and then re-installing -

 I believe that he has.  He was not aware of the splitting of the

 need to be broadcast in prominent locations, such as this list.  This

I agree. I should have announced such a change.

Re: [opensuse] OpenOffice freezes the system

2007-10-04 Thread Martin Mielke
Yes... this is exactly how it happens to me... no matter which menu item I 
select.
I guess File is the one we use most and that's why it has been pointed out as 
the one to blame :-)

Connectivity doesn't seem to affected here either, as I can ssh into the 
machine at a very fast speed and response time

I'll also try to access the menu items using keyboard shortcuts as Brad 
suggests... let's see what happens.

Subject: Re: [opensuse] OpenOffice freezes the system

I have been seeing this problem for a long time.

For me, it is only ever triggered when I click on a menu item.  Mostly 
the File menu item.  However, as I read this comment, I froze it up on 
the Tools menu, as suggested.

I have nVidia driver (commercial), using Twinview with an amd_64 running the 
generic version of OOo (not a specific SuSE version).

This has been happening with upgrades of SuSE, OOo, and nVidia.  Nothing seems 
to handle it.  

From watching this thread, I'm suspect of non-SuSE versions.

The system doesn't actually freeze though.  You (I) can connect via ssh, and 
see that what is happened is that the Xorg thread is using all CPU making 
keyboard, etc. un-responsive.  ssh session seems to be full speed though.  
All I ever have to do is kill -s 09 Xorg (from another PC, ssh'ed into frozen 
machine) and system comes back.

Interesting part is that when I re-open the OOo calc sheet, the recovery 
wizard comes up, and shows documents that I ~had~ closed that it must have 
thought was still open.

I'm going to try and only access the menu items with keyboard shortcuts, 
instead of mouse clicks.  I'm suspect that it is the original click on the 
menu item  (not even enough time for 'release' of mouse) that is causing Xorg 
to loop, blocking other processes.

[opensuse] OpenOffice 2.3 upgrade broke Thunderbird default Open with

2007-10-03 Thread Dennis E. Slice
I was running OO 2.0 (the default version) on my SUSE 10.0 system. In
tracking down a problem with Master Documents, I upgraded to 2.3. Works
nicely, but now when I click on an attachment in the Thunderbird mail
program (say, .doc or .xls) the default is to Save, and selecting Open
with produces the error:

filename.xls could not be opened, because the associated helper
application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.

I can't find a place to change it, and besides .doc and .xls files (and
I assume .ppt) automatically open just fine from the desktop. Just not
from within Thunderbird.

Curiously, I seem to recall both .doc files and .xls files opening
correctly before the upgrade, but only .doc files are mentioned in the
Download Actions preference dialog. Fiddling there seems like a kludge,
anyway, since it was working before without that.

Any suggestions as to how to address the above?

TIA, ds

 OOo has some 3D effects: try dissabling them. I guess they use some vdeo

 Look at OOo / Tools /  3D view: use open GL, dithering, refresh, and

That's certainly interesting to know about, but I'm not going to risk another

Okay, that worked ... a little. I can explicitly specify
/usr/bin/openoffice.org2.3 or /etc/openoffice.org2.3/program/soffice or
swriter and .doc files will be opened.

But, that does not change the TB default app for such files - a new
window now opens briefly before the file is opened and the Action
preference page shows the separate, explicit, nondefault specification
of one of the above, soffice, etc. That might be fine, except...

I see know way to add XLS or any other extensions as a supported file
type. The only ones listed are: DOC JPG PDF and ASC. Buttons support:
Remove Action, Change Action, but no Add/New Action. They must be coming

Yes that's a design error in TB. (sort of) Send yourself an attached .xls file
and open it in TB. You get a dialog box asking you what to do with it and there
you can choose open it with oocalc. You also can check a box Always perform
this action with this kind of file and from that moment on Bob is your uncle.
No doubt the philosophy of the TB designers is that you shouldn't worry about
attached .xls files as long as you don't get them. They have a point there. :-)

You could do the change before opening the other 49 windows. Or you could

If you mean dl'ing and install, the packages have been split as
discussed on *this* list in the last 10 days.

Either search the archives for the listing or install webpin and do
a search for OpenOffice_org for 10.3.

Move them to a partition on your hard drive that you will not allow to

There is a bugzilla open on this, 245711.

The work around that has been working for me is, after the machine
starts and I first log in, I launch one of the open office programs. It
doesn't seem to matter which one.  Then I go to any one of the menu
items so that the menu appears.  After that I leave it running, never
quit.

So far I have not had the machine freeze.  The problem seems to effect
systems with nvidia cards the most.



I don't speak for SGI or Novell in this forum.  Just relating my
personal experience.

Hi Nate,

thanks for your reply.
I also have a nVidia card both at home and at work with, apparently, the latest 
drivers... could it be the problem?
Is this then related to OpenOffice or to nVidia??


Cheers,
Martin

 You didn't mention which version on SUSE you were using, but I agree
 that 10.2 specifically seemed unstable.

Fred with oo2.3 you have to install each component you want. (i.e.

[opensuse] OpenOffice questions

2007-09-27 Thread Teruel de Campo MD
I'm running OpenSuSE 10.2. I installed initially from the box DVD.
Although I installed linux 64 it intalled  OO 586. All the upgrades
worked ok. Even I got one of the last ones with nice green gecko
splahimage. The last upgrade broke the installation and I could not load
OO. Then I saw a thread here and I went and I realized many of the
necessary packages for OO were uninstalled. I reinstalled them and also
this time I tried the 64 version of OO. Everything is working very well
(build 2.3.0.1.2) 

Here the questions:

1. Why opensuse dvd install 586 initially when the OS version I was
installing was 64?   I assume it was not available at the time is that
correct?

2. Will I miss anything using the 64 vs the 32 version of OO?


2. Why the green gecko image you see when you loaded is not there any
more? Now is the boring blue one. I know those images are changed with
new versions but the green gecko did not last very long. How can I get
it back.

The 64 bit OOo is very much untested. You are supposed to test it, and 
then find and report the problems.

There was a mail these days from the maintainer about that.

It was not stable enough.  Check bugzilla for more info.

Not sure exactly what you mean here.

 2. Why the green gecko image you see when you loaded is not there any
 more? Now is the boring blue one. I know those images are changed with

 it back.

   
I believe it is just a file. openintro_suse.bmp in the program
directory.  BTW, here it is green.  Do you mean you want the blue back? 
If so replace the above file with the old one.  It is just a splash
screen, only on the screen for a few seconds with 2.3 (nice job OO
team).  But this is Linux, where you can have it your way if you prefer.

There were still some important issues in the 64-bit OOo when we released

[opensuse] OpenOffice 2.3.0 - Where oh where has my icon gone?

2007-09-27 Thread Daniel Feiglin
Hello Folks!

After following the thread on OpenOffice 2.3.0, I tried the install
(upgrade of 2.2.x, o/s version10.2). It went fine and everything works
... except that all of the menu icons have disappeared and all you see
is text in their place.

Does anyone have any idea of what's gone awry?

 One note: the NLD artwork still says version 2.1, even though this is
 version 2.3.

Good point. I have asked our artwork maestro to provide updated pictures.

Hello,

I am sorry for the late repply. I was busy with openSUSE-10.3. Then I was on 
the OOo conference, ...

 Are there any plans for a SUSE version of OpenOffice.2.3?

The packages based on OOo-2.3-final are included in openSUSE-10.3.rc1. I have 
updated the packages in the Build Service project yesterday, see

  2.3 is the stable release now, Petr just hasn't had a chance to move it

 Having a release put off because 1 person doesn't have time is quite
 ridiculous.

Any volunteer is welcome ;-)

 I would totally understand if the reasoning was because it is not
 considered fully tested / stable with Novell modifications, that would make
 more sense ,but to just have the release of a long anticipated OOo put off
 because someone doesn't have time just blows my mind..

I am afraid that OOo in the project OpenOffice_org:STABLE will 
always be a bit delayled after the upstream release because we need to 
stabilize the Novell (ooo-build) features. It might be even more delayed if 
there is an official openSUSE or SLED10 release around. Then the openSUSE or 
SLED10 release date is the right one for us...

I would like to keep the OpenOffice_org:STABLE project really stable. I do not 
want to force people to download the big best every two weeks. So I really 
would like to wait for the final stabilized build and update it once per 
three months or so. 

This time, the upstream OOo and openSUSE release are very close. I do not plan 
any more fixes for 10.3. So, I have put OOo-2.3-based package in 
OpenOffice_org:STABLE yesterday.

I might be wrong. People might want something else. I am open to discuss the 
schedules, ...

 OpenOffice_org-thesaurus-en is needed by

 I did not see them in 10.0 or 10.2. I could very well be blind...

They were really missing. It should be fixed now. Search them in the noarch

In theory, you need to select only the main package OpenOffice_org for 
update. The others should get updated automatically when needed. Actually, I 
have not tested it much, ...

Another approach is to search for all the OpenOffice_org* packages and update 
the already installed.


Note that the current OOo-2.3-based packages are split into more optional 
subpackages. You might need to select in addition:

  OpenOffice_org-base
  OpenOffice_org-calc
  OpenOffice_org-draw
  OpenOffice_org-impress
  OpenOffice_org-math
  OpenOffice_org-writer
  OpenOffice_org-filters
  OpenOffice_org-mailmerge

They are recommended by the main package, so they should get installed by 
default. There might be problems on the older distributions, see

I agree with that. I want to keep reasonably updated, but I also want to 
have the more stable version possible. If I wanted bleeding edge, I would 
install the unstable branch instead.

So, update it on a three month period or whenever you think it is stable 
enough.
