Hi, all. Running Ubuntu 11.04 (classic) on a preloaded Linux box.

Sometime in the afternoon, all of the window title bars (except on 
Google Chrome) have suddenly disappeared!

As far as I know my box is not using compiz. Any suggestions on how I 
might be able to get them back?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [libreoffice-users] page numbers and table of contents

First?  Er, I don't see any second ...

the title page, page 1, number each table of contents page, and then 
continue with numbering the body pages?


You mean in one unbroken numbering sequence?  That would be the 
default situation, so your template must be changing that in some 
way.  The template's author took the trouble to make each of three 
sections restart the page numbering; you will have to undo this 
choice by changing it back.


At 21:23 14/01/2012 -0600, Jeffrey Martin wrote:

Here's the template I'm trying to change.


Your template uses five page styles, called First Page, TOC, Left 
Page, Default, and References.  There are manual page breaks between 
your three sections, and the choice was made to restart page 
numbering at 1 when these were inserted.  You can remove these.

o Put the cursor in the first paragraph of the table of contents page.
o Go to Format | Paragraph... | Text Flow | Breaks (or right-click | 
Paragraph... | Text Flow | Breaks).

o Change "Page number" there to read "0".  (This will remove the offset.)
o Now go to the top of the first page of the body and repeat the process.
(You don't need to do this for the new References page style, since 
this does not restart page numbering.)


There is one remaining problem, and this is that the second page of 
the table of contents is wrongly numbered, but this is for a 
different reason.  The first page of the table of contents has TOC 
page style, but this is set to be followed by Left Page page style, 
which is in turn set to be followed by Right Page page style, and so 
on alternately.  In its original state, the template has the table of 
contents starting on the second page; with double-sided printing, 
this would be on the reverse of the first sheet - on its verso (or 
left-hand page).  Since the second page of the table of contents is 
forced by its Left Page page style also to appear on a verso, 
LibreOffice insists that it has an even page number: imagine, if you 
like, the intervening recto (or right-hand page) to have been 
skipped.  It's numbered 4 instead of 3.  (This condition applies even 
if you intend to print single-sided.)


Since you are unlikely to want such an arrangement (and since both 
the Left Page and Right Page page styles also have unhelpfully 
different margins!), the sensible solution is to give all table of 
contents pages the same TOC page style.  To do this:
o Put the cursor in the first table of contents page but outside the 
table of contents itself - at the top, that is.

o Go to Format | Page... | Organizer (or right-click | Page... | Organizer).
o Against Next Style, select TOC (instead of Left Page) from the 
drop-down list.


Your document is now numbered sequentially.  Oh, and you also get a 
page number on the second table of contents page, which was previously missing.


I trust this helps.

You can't post attachments to the list. You would need to upload the file
to a file sharing website, then post the link.

If all you want to do is insert the page numbers, just follow the steps on

Re: [libreoffice-users] Encryption algorithms in Libre Office?

2012-01-14 Thread Jay Lozier

On 01/14/2012 06:18 PM, Dennis E. Hamilton wrote:

The digests and the block ciphers used in ODF encryptions are not alphabetic 
transpositions.  They work at the binary bit level and are difficult to invert, 
although some digests may leak some modest information.  The encryption of 
textual content is on its compressed binary form, and that by its nature adds 
some entropy: it is the compressed file that is encrypted.  Consequently, the 
easiest language-based attack is on the password since so many are memorable 
and may even be pronounceable.

Brute-force attacks on passwords with known digests just get better all of the 
time and that is an indirect hazard if the same password is used for protection 
of some files and for encryption of others.  (All passwords used in setting 
protection locks should be assumed to be compromised and not used for anything 
else.)

There is structure in the uncompressed ODF plaintexts (e.g., many of the parts 
in the Zip are XML files with known schemas as well as text content).  That 
structure and other clues can help discern whether a password attack has 
succeeded, though.  There are also a few known plain-texts and predictable 
plain-text portions that are commonly found compressed the same way in almost 
all current ODF packages.  That provides easier confirmation of a success and 
possible clues to the presence of attack-worthy material as well.
If the information is valuable enough for others to want to know then it 
sounds like file encryption is possibly a very big speed bump to knowing 
the contents. There numerous inherent weaknesses that someone who 
understand cryptography and the mathematics behind it can exploit to 
their advantage. A weakness is that passwords have a finite, if 
initially unknown, length. The only issue then is the encryption method 
strong enough to keep the data protected until it has little value.


The issue is to keep the file secure from unauthorized eyes, because 
once the file gets into the wild one must assume that someone will 
decrypt it. And once decrypted it will be posted somewhere, possibly in 
public.

The fundamental weakness of the current approach is the use of human-entered 
passwords (which tend to be memorable and easily attackable), some well-known 
problems with information leakage from Zip files and 
known-/predictable-plaintext attacks.  There is also a vulnerability if the 
password used is used anywhere else (e.g., for protecting fields in documents) 
such that its SHA1 digest becomes known or suspected.

One problem in cryptography is that fact that all alphabetic languages
and alphabetic transcriptions have definite letter frequency in plain
text. For example in English the letter occurs 7% of the time. This was
first discovered and used by William Friedman in the 1920's. Also,

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Encryption algorithms in Libre Office?

Dear all,
I apologize in advance if this is a FAQ, but I was not able to find an
answer both in the FAQ page and in the first 4-5 pages of the mail archives
(I searched for "password" and "encryption").

I know that Libre Office allows you to save a "password protected
document," but I would like to know some more details about it. For
example, is the document actually encrypted or simply Libre Office refuses
to open it without the right password? (I expect [and hope] the former).
   If the former hypothesis is correct, which encryption algorithms are used?


Thank you for any help.

Riccardo

RE: [libreoffice-users] Encryption algorithms in Libre Office?

2012-01-14 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton
The digests and the block ciphers used in ODF encryptions are not alphabetic 
transpositions.  They work at the binary bit level and are difficult to invert, 
although some digests may leak some modest information.  The encryption of 
textual content is on its compressed binary form, and that by its nature adds 
some entropy: it is the compressed file that is encrypted.  Consequently, the 
easiest language-based attack is on the password since so many are memorable 
and may even be pronounceable.  

Brute-force attacks on passwords with known digests just get better all of the 
time and that is an indirect hazard if the same password is used for protection 
of some files and for encryption of others.  (All passwords used in setting 
protection locks should be assumed to be compromised and not used for anything 
else.)

There is structure in the uncompressed ODF plaintexts (e.g., many of the parts 
in the Zip are XML files with known schemas as well as text content).  That 
structure and other clues can help discern whether a password attack has 
succeeded, though.  There are also a few known plain-texts and predictable 
plain-text portions that are commonly found compressed the same way in almost 
all current ODF packages.  That provides easier confirmation of a success and 
possible clues to the presence of attack-worthy material as well.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Encryption algorithms in Libre Office?

2012-01-14 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton
Yes, the Java library is defective in how it handles PBKDF2, making it 
impossible to match the PBKDF2 key generation that is specified for ODF.  
(PBKDF2 is defined to work with any binary initial key, but the Java 
implementation does not provide for that.  The ODF use of PBKDF2 requires 
starting with a binary initial key.)

I did not know about Schuermann's analysis.  However, this problem was also 
encountered by the ODF Toolkit project last year.  They have worked around this 
by creating their own implementation of PBKDF2 that works properly with the 
UTF8 of an entered password.

The ODF Toolkit project is just now accomplishing their first Apache ODF 
Toolkit podling release.  I am told the next release is expected to support the 
ODF digital signature and encryption provisions.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Cleaning Windows

2012-01-14 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Yes, thanks Doug.  In Xp its

Start "button" - "Control Panel" - "Add/Remove Programs"

but it can't add programs and does a really bad job of removing them.  Usually 
programs provide their own uninstaller but again those seem to be less than 
great.  I think Revo-uninstaller is the one i was looking for so thanks guys 
for that suggestion :)

I have a feeling that i really need to reinstall Windows after deleting it's 
partition and then apply all the updates and reinstall just the programs we 
need without the tons of junk that got added but that could take days and days 
on the slow machine.  Plus the installer Cds are missing for some of the 
programs.  So, i was hoping i could avoid it.  Revo might be the key.

Many thanks all! :)

Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Multiple select field in Base forms

2012-01-14 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Oh, i thought that in the manual boxes each piece of music would have 3 cards, 
one in each box.  

One problem being that some pieces only had a card in one or 2 of the boxes.  
It might be frustrating trying to find where the holes are in the data.  Moving 
to a database solves that as each piece of music would only have 1 card but 
could be viewed in each of the 3 different orderings quite easily and missing 
data would be easier to spot and fix.

If I understand your application is to cross reference for example a musical 
piece by instrumentation required, vocal parts required, liturgical season 
(Advent, Lent, Easter, etc.), possibly service setting (Holy Communion, 
Matins,  Vespers, etc.).

I would see a main table with listing each work with a unique id number 
assigned to it (key). The issue is how many tables will actually be needed for 
a good database design. Each table will have its own key with any foreign keys 
listed for cross referencing. The basic design rule is to enter data once and 
the keys establish the relation between the tables.

For a first pass at the design I would look at the data and cross referencing 
used in your manual card catalogue for data relationships.

There are 'only' bugfixes.
I guess http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Releases/3.4.5/RC2

supply relevant info .

Once offered at the download page, there only rests a link to a page as

One small step for mankind...



If I understand your application is to cross reference for example a 
musical piece by instrumentation required, vocal parts required, 
liturgical season (Advent, Lent, Easter, etc.), possibly service setting 
(Holy Communion, Matins,  Vespers, etc.).


I would see a main table with listing each work with a unique id number 
assigned to it (key). The issue is how many tables will actually be 
needed for a good database design. Each table will have its own key with 
any foreign keys listed for cross referencing. The basic design rule is 
to enter data once and the keys establish the relation between the tables.


For a first pass at the design I would look at the data and cross 
referencing used in your manual card catalogue for data relationships.

Re: [libreoffice-users] New templates

2012-01-14 Thread Jay Lozier

David,

To create a template, open LO and create the desired framework such as 
margins, page breaks, headers, footers, etc. in a normal document.


Under File>Template>Save save the template (I prefer My Templates as the 
default location) with a your preferred name.


To use a template use File>New>Templates and Documents and select the 
desired template. It will create a new document based on your template.


I specifically tested this with Writer.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem With "ASCII Filter Options"

2012-01-14 Thread Steve Edmonds
Sometimes my work colleague sends me a file without the extension (from 
a mac) and LO does this to me, I just rename the file with .doc on the 
end. Do your Word documents have .doc extension on the file name.

Word2004. It's always about Word2003 or Word2007.

What can I do to solve this problem? Or, can I NOT do anything to solve it? 
Would appreciate any advice or links you can give me.

Re: [libreoffice-users] page numbers and table of contents

What exactly are you trying to do? Insert page numbers in a header/footer,

Scheme ex:
Title page: 1
Table of contents: 2-4
Body: 5-10

Scheme ex:
Title page: 1
Table of contents: unnumbered

I just want to clarify what exactly you are trying to accomplish because

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem With "ASCII Filter Options"

2012-01-14 Thread David Werner
Tom,

Thanks for your & others' responses to my problem. However, I've decided I need 
to know more than I want to know about using LO3, esp. this conversion 
situation. I like LibreO not only because it's free, but offers the basics, 
which is all I need. I want an effortless conversion. The only choices for me 
at this point are Google Docs & Microsoft Office for the Mac ($150). Google 
does the job, but so far I can't (don't know how, really)  preserve the folder 
structure I have in my current Mac Documents folder. I just may have to spring 
the $150 & get on w/ it. LO3 is a good app. If I were starting out from 
scratch, it would be my app of choice.

DO NOT USE CC CLEANER (or any other Registry cleaner) TO CLEAN THE 
REGISTRY. They are all by and large snake oil.


Firstly there is no need to clean the registry, because orphaned entries 
have almost NO effect on computer performance. Why? Because applications 
automatically go straight to their registry entries - they don't have to 
search the registry.
Secondly, there are myriads of people who have used the CC Cleaner 
registry utility and have ended up with an unbootable computer.

Just do a search through the Microsoft Answers forums to see them.

Hi Marni,

Thanks for that.
Still looks a bit vague, but I haven't seen the form yet, I'll have a 
look later.

This is basic database stuff that any database can/should do.  The 
effort of making them do it for end users will be the difference 
between them.

As I said, unless someone else beats me to it, I'll have a stab at it 
later (I'm also a musician, so that might help :-) )

Hi :)
Would that publication be good to add to the wiki-page
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#Programmers

It's not clear what copyright/copyleft agreement it is released under but 
CC-by-SA is the standard one used by the official documentation team to protect 
their works.  Creative Commons might have a different option the author would 
prefer if that one doesn't suit?

[libreoffice-users] Re: Multiple select field in Base forms

2012-01-14 Thread Alex Thurgood

Le 13/01/2012 21:01, drew a écrit :

Hi Drew,



The data controls will read/write to those filed types, when the
connected database engine supports them - what the built in controls
will not do is parse the results for the GUI.



Oooh, thanks for that piece of info, very handy to know. I doubt that 
the LO form control GUI currently supports e.g. the MYSQL ENUM 65K byte 
limit though, but will confess to not having tried, maybe an exercise 
for a lazy Sunday !



IIRC this post on one of the forums that includes a script that does
parse a set enum, with example showing how to connect the script to a
list control in multi-select mode.

http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=37079

Haven't looked at that in a long time - it sounds like what the person
needs.. I'll try the script and make sure it still works, but can't
really see why it wouldn't still.


Apart from any newly introduced bugs ? ;-)

All the best,

Alex

[libreoffice-users] New templates

2012-01-14 Thread David E. Webb
*Hi,*
* I have been using LibreOffice for sometime now and before that I used
OpenOffice as my word processing package. In OpenOffice and earlier
versions of Libre Office I was able to create new basic templates without
problem. All I had was a series of templates in either A4 or A5 sizes with
the font type and size in the name. It was very convenient and worked well.
Form some things I used A4 Constantia 12 for example and for others A5
Colibri 14 etc etc. depending on the task.*
*I now have downloaded version 3.3401 and have even tried version 3.4 in
its final format. I am no longer able to set up and save my  templates in
these two versions and am having to format each new document as I write it.
*
*I haver followed the instructions carefully as given on the help pages but
this has not resolved the issue.*
*Can you pllease help?*
*Yours sincerely,*
*David Webb
*

[libreoffice-users] Encryption algorithms in Libre Office?

2012-01-14 Thread Riccardo Bernardini
Dear all,
I apologize in advance if this is a FAQ, but I was not able to find an
answer both in the FAQ page and in the first 4-5 pages of the mail archives
(I searched for "password" and "encryption").

I know that Libre Office allows you to save a "password protected
document," but I would like to know some more details about it. For
example, is the document actually encrypted or simply Libre Office refuses
to open it without the right password? (I expect [and hope] the former).
 If the former hypothesis is correct, which encryption algorithms are used?


Thank you for any help.

Riccardo
