Re: [libreoffice-users] Put LibreOffice as unedited document viewer only
Hi, Le 14/03/2013 01:50, jathan a écrit : Thank very much to all for your help ;) An apology for some ambiguity in my explanation. That I want to do with LibreOffice is use it in read-only mode by default in place of edit function as odfviewer: http://opendocumentfellowship.com/odfviewer, pptview for powerpoint presentations or Evince or Adobe Reader for PDF documents. That is to say that no document can be opened for editing without assigning permissions previously in LibreOffice, only use it as a ODF documents viewer. Thanks. I'd go the pdf route: create a pdf from the presentation and distribute that. Any pdf viewer I know of has a presentation (full screen) mode that will mimic the Impress behaviour (eg. Ctrl+L in Adobe Reader). -- Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Bordeaux -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] [ANNOUNCEMENT] MySQL-Connector Extension
Hi Dan, Thanks for the hints. So far I am the only user, but shortly this will not be the case anymore. Non-Administrator users will only need access to ONE DB anyway. So I won't grant them access to any of the others. Also, I will restrict access to the tables and views within that DB to the users that need to work with them. Regards Heinz On Wed, 13 Mar 2013 20:37:36 +0100, Dan Lewis elderdanle...@gmail.com wrote: So, you also noticed this. When using the native connector, MySQL will display all of the databases for which the given user has been given access. JDBC/ODBC will only display the specific database that is listed in the database file. Some thoughts. If you are going to use the native connector for MySQL, group the type of databases contained in it according to use. Then allow one or a few users access to each group. With JDBC/ODBC, you have to have a Base file for each database. Or, you can right click in the list section of the database window to select Database Properties. There you can change the database you want to view. To view only one database at a time using the native connector, you would have to set the permissions so that only one user can access a given database other than the administrator. Then you can have base connected to MySQL and change the user name doing what I mentioned in the previous paragraph. Maybe you have a different method of switching databases when you need to do so. --Dan On 03/13/2013 12:46 PM, Heinrich Stoellinger wrote: Hi Dan, Thanks again! Eureka!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Text-boxes. How to set up?
Hi :) Thanks Dan, Brian and Regina :) Yes, the header and footer have the charity/company banners topbottom. Logos and bitsbobs sometimes go outside the curved space but really only on the first page. I've only shown 2 of the middle 12 pages but the rest are identical once i've added the headerfooter to all. Could the frame have the same rounded corners as the drawing element? Could i replace the framedrawing element with something else that would work? Brian thanks for signposting me to page 122 of the Writers Guide to link the frames. That makes a big difference. Now the only problem is trying to fit the text inside the curve. Dan thanks for the idea about using paragraph styles but i think that is going to be about the same as i do now. At the moment i use Shift Enter to get a new-line that is still part of the same paragraph and then i just use a lot of space-bar at the start and end of the line to move the fully-justified text into the curve!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Base Recovery failed
Hi Paul, I located the lock file, (it was in a different directory where I had moved all of the database's files prior to restoring earlier files from my backup), and deleted it. That didn't seem to do anything. It was only when I closed LibreOffice and came in again later, that the problem went away. I think the key was probably the restart of LibreOffice.

Other desktop icons/settings make it through this process fine but Libre seems to revert to a generic default install. Is this by design or are there special steps I need to take during the sysprep process? Basically what I would like is for all LO programs to have their default save type as their Microsoft equivalents and icons on the desktop already setup in the default user so that whoever logs in is basically ready to go. I know LO pushes ODF but until we get a larger portion of our population changed over this is the most realistic for us. Any help would be great!

I think what I read was that Mariadb changed the database itself somehow, making it incompatible with MySQL. Thus, all the work done on it with Mariadb was lost from the last MySQL-compatible database backup. That is scary - lost data. I just went searching again for where I read this caveat and came up with this posting by ppr:kut to LinuxQuestions.org on 1-31-13: I'm not sure what problems you imagine, but I'm not aware of any issues. You wouldn't be able to switch easily from MariaDB back to MySQL once you start using MariaDB specific features, but that's clear from the start. You can find this message and others on: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/replace-mysql-with-mariadb-in-slackware-4175447832/ Now that I read it again, it sounds like they might be talking about Mariadb user features, not database compatibility. Kind of like someone who moves from msoffice to LO can't go back because they like the LO features. I would like to know if anyone has tried to go back to MySQL from using Mariadb and how *physically* successful it was. Sorry about the confusion. Girvin Girvin, Dan I once updated from MariaDB 5.5.x to MySQL 5.5.y then to MariaDB 5.5.y. I use MariaDB via localhost and found that the permissions are different. MariaDB default allows apps like MySQL Workbench to do bulk data inserts from files while MySQL does not. With MySQL I had to use the CLI version to do the inserts. I was unable to set the permissions in MySQL to allow MySQL Workbench to do bulk data inserts. I am using Linux Mint Maya / 13. 64 bit. I have not yet tried the MySQL Connector and Base (LO 4.0.0.3). This might be an issue between the two forks. Jay Jay, Thanks for the information. I will file it away for the time I migrate to mariadb. So, let me get this straight - the mariadb server allows the MySQL apps to work better than with the MySQL server?! That is amusing. For the record, I am using Slackware 12.2 32-bit and the mysql-connector-java with LO 3.6.4.3. Thanks again. Girvin I remember seeing (MySQL website?) where the change was made by MySQL to not allow this by default for security reasons while MariaDB maintained the old permissions. What is puzzling to me is that many who use MySQL or MariaDB via localhost are doing development or off-line database work and are not using remote access. I understand requiring tighter permissions if the database can be manipulated remotely to avoid major problems. What was odd, I could issue TRUNCATE database but INSERT LOCAL FILE 'sdf.csv' etc would fail. I would think the opposite would be preferable. I have been noticing how paranoid MySQL has been getting. That paranoia has a place, but for those of us who have local-only databases on a firewalled LAN, it would be nice to ease up on that paranoia and get more functionality. Now I hear that MySQL 5.5+ no longer uses localhost as the older versions did. It virtually takes over localhost bind functionality, all in the name of greater security. Good grief! I will find out soon. I am in the process of upgrading to Slackware 14.0 which comes with MySQL 5.5. Girvin I do not think it is any more paranoid than usual. To get remote access to the server, one line of its configuration file (my.cnf) had to be altered for 5.1. Version 5.5 requires one line to be commented out using a #. So, I really don't understand what you mean by localhost bind functionality. I have been using 5.5 since I installed Ubutu 12.04 late last spring or early summer without any problems other than connecting to the server remotely. But I may not have been using all the functionalities that you use. I am a little new to MySQL as it is. (I did have 5.1 running before I installed Ubuntu 12.04 though.) I'm not sure I understand either what the added security measures are that bother you. --Dan -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office 4 and MS Sysprep
Hi John, I came across this in the getting started guide for writer: To have Writer save documents by default in the Microsoft Word file format, go to *Tools Options Load/Save General*.

I haven't actually tried this but is it what you are looking for?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office 4 and MS Sysprep
Hi :) Sorry this is not a great answer! If e-letter starts his normal rant then please ignore it and accept my apologies for it and my apologies for this answer too, in advance. Btw how can i find out more about sys-prep? It sounds like it might be useful for me too. Errr, there is this link for corporate users but i'm not sure if it covers what you need https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Other_Documentation_and_Resources#Corporate_Users Converting to MS Formats on every save is not always flawless. It's better for people to keep an original in ODF format and only save as to MS formats when/if they need to share the document with ousiders. It's also worth knowing that MS Office can now read ODF formats too. It's just their 2007 and 2010 that is not perfect with spreadsheets, so it's only the Ods format that MS Office has trouble with. The best MS formats to use are their older ones as it's their newer OOXML formats that have the most compatibility problems between different versions of their own programs let alone with any other programs. I have just found yet another LibreOffice user that regularly finds himself used as a go-between for people using different versions of MS Office that can't read each others files. Another option is to use the Adobe Pdf route. For many years anyone sending a Pdf or putting a Pdf on their websites also gave a link to help people download and install Adobe/Acrobat Pdf Reader. There were seldom complaints to that so why not try the same method for ODF formats? They are becoming recognised and used more widely. Many people have both Adobe Acrobat, MS Office and LibreOffice on their systems nowadays.

[libreoffice-users] RE: Libre Office 4 and MS Sysprep
John, Hmm, not sure that in Windows 7 using Sysprep and using WAIK to prepare a CopyProfile=true Specialize stanza into a filename.xml reliably overwrites the default user run from any user other than the Administrator account running in Audit mode. Not sure what happens with file associations and per program user configurations if you use an account other than Administrator in Audit mode. But my sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /unattend:filename.xml SYSPREPs prior to image capture seems to behave pretty well with customizations done in audit mode being copied into a new default user profile and apps running correctly. Only a few issues with occasional linkage to C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming for program configuration and temp space--but not LibreOffice. I've had no problems with desktop icons placed on the C:\Users\Public\Desktop On the file association side, I don't deploy with LibreOffice set as default for anything but its native ODF formats, so I can't comment there about SYSPREPs impact, not too surprised if MS allows SYSPREP to clobber some file associations. And, there are continuing problems with the LibreOffice file associations that make the whole issue kind of dicey.

Re: [libreoffice-users] BUG: Writer seems to ignore some \par in RTF file
Hi :)
MS developed Rtf making all the promises about cross-platform and cross-product
compatibility that are currently being made for their ISO format.
Unfortunately they never quite lived up to those promises and got taken to
court about it and lost the case. So they stopped developing it and created
the OOXML and got that registered as an ISO standard instead. Now people seem
to be having similar problems with the new OOXML formats that they had with the
Rtf, perhaps even more problems.
So, just avoid Rtf. It always was a broken, proprietary format and even though
MS have stopped doing any development of it there still hasn't been any
improvement in it's compatibility.

Tom :)

I managed to edit your presentation in OOo 3.4.1 I removed the non-working OLE frames, inserted the PDFs again as OLE objects and now it can be opened under LibreOffice Jordan-LibreOffice-Presentation-03-15-2013.odp http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4043927/Jordan-LibreOffice-Presentation-03-15-2013.odp I sincerely apologize if my comments sounded ungrateful. They are indeed a good starting point. I was just warning you of the problem and trying to help find a solution.

I did not get the feeling that you were ungrateful and I can understand that it is frustrating when technology does not always work as intended :-P I see how you re-embeded the pdf files but what's interesting is that this is different than how it worked originally... I believe that it actually displayed a scroll bar and allowed you to scroll through the embedded pdf document... Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I remember. I will retest this as soon as I can and reply back to you. I know it's not that big of a deal but now I want to know what the heck is going on!!! -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
