2013/7/21 Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk Hi :) Many thanks :) Lqtm. It's been quite a while since i was last involved in something that developed so fast that different people were on different time-lines and threads got a tad confusing! Thanks also to others that contributed to this thread. Given how fast all this was done if anyone here is able to join the Docs Team to help them with screen-shots that would be great. To avoid potential copyright issues they tend to take almost all screen-shots in GnuLinux but i think they still need a couple done in Windows. Some were done in Mac just because that happened to be what the author was using at the time but again there might be some potential for copyright issues. So GnuLinux is just the preferred platform if it's easy enough. Regards from Tom :) Tom, I can confirm that taking such screenshots is a breeze in such GNU Linux distros as Ubuntu or Linux Mint.

Re: [libreoffice-users] opening powerpoint files restart the computer
Hi :) As we keep pointing out Win7 and Windows generally is a bit of a resource hog. 1 more stick of 1Gb Ram would probably help. Better to get 2 new sticks as a matched pair so that you can get an additional 10% bump on performance. Better still if you can get sticks that are about as fast as your mbord can handle. A decent power supply might help but don't go crazy with it unless you plan to use it in a future hardware-upgrade. 350 Watt is usually plenty but you might find something that is more energy efficient and doesn't draw so much mains power if it's not using much. A new fan might help especially if you can re-arrange existing ones to push out more at the back or through the top of the case. Alternatively just install Ubuntu or Mageia or something like that as a dual-boot alongside your Win7. They use so much less resources that you will find the machine runs a lot more quietly, less hot, much faster and quiet possibly drawing so much less power that your Usb ports become quiet usable again. The 'new' or acquired hardware route should cost under £100. Trying a different OS is likely to be free. There are plenty of people on this list that could help you install one of the GnuLinux OSes although i suspect that each person has their own idea of what might be best for you. Generally i would recommend taking various different ones for a test-drive before committing yourself to installing one. Generally it is better to do this using a Usb-stick but it can be done with a Cd or Dvd drive. Most GnuLinux distros allow you to run a LiveCd session to test drive their OS. When you have tried a few then you might notice you prefer the lookfeel of some but others work better with your hardware. It doesn't really matter which one you install first as they all work much the same as each other and it's fairly easy to move from one to another later on, after you have become more accustomed to what your needs are. Some people install a different one each week but that's a bit extreme. Others stay with just one for a decade. Most of us are in the middle somewhere. A LiveCd session leaves no trace on your computer. It should pick-up on all the hardware that you have plugged in at the time and be able to find your internet connection. Sometimes some of them need a little coaxing. Some people use LiveCd sessions regularly for safer internet banking or to repair systems while others use them just to test-drive different systems. Your ISP still logs everything you do in just the same way as they would in Windows so avoid breaking any 'local' laws in the same way as normal. Oddly i find it's the cheapest blank Cds you can buy that are better for this. I think more expensive CDs are more highly tuned for data-storage rather than for running an OS. I've even had really expensive Cds fail and then 1 from a cheap pack of 20 (the packs that cost less than a small(ish) lump of bad cheese) worked fine. On 1 machine the Cd-drive appeared to be almost completely dead in Windows but i managed to get a tiny GnuLinux distro called SLiTaz (30Mb) onto the Cd. Then i booted the LiveCd of that. It's so tiny that you can even take the Cd out while still running the LiveCd session (it's really running entirely inside Ram without even touching your hard-drive or Cd-drive). With SLiTaz the Cd-drive was rock-solid so i was able to make a Cd of Ubuntu. Then because Ubuntu had been made using the same Cd-drive i was finally able to boot-up a LiveCD session of Ubuntu. The LiveCd session usually allows you to install the OS and if so then it usually allows you to play simple games while you are waiting for the installer to do the next thing. On more advanced hardware you could be doing emailing, watching a movie, playing a game and surfing the internet all while doing the installing but that's a bit extreme. The 1st thing is to try a few different LiveCd sessions so you can find out what you prefer the look of, and which works better and which you are happier using as your first.

[libreoffice-users] 2 news clippings of interest
Hi :) 2 articles of interest covering topics we frequently discuss at length on this list. These articles provide stats and links to reinforce many of the various points of view put forwards by many people here (even (or especially?) the ones i disagree with). 75% (approx) of LO's devs are volunteers, around 12% are paid devs from various companies, for some weird reason 12% is attributed to OOo. Apache OO have their own sliver. Of the paid devs 50% are from SuSE. (note to self to give openSuSE a test drive soon). It would be interesting to see a similar doughnut from Apache http://documentfoundation.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/developers7.jpg From http://documentfoundation.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/developers6.jpg only around 12% of the current code is untouched OOo code!! Around 1/3rd of the cleaner, newer code has been provided by volunteers. 25% by SuSE employees and another 25% by RedHat employees. The remainder provided by an interesting list of companies of which i've only heard of Canonical and Apache (err and Codeweavers (oh and Intel of course)) but all seem to be 'quite' important. Two of the comments at the bottom of Italos post really kinda bug me http://blog.documentfoundation.org/2013/07/22/getting-close-to-libreoffice-4-1/ They seem to be trying to turn the debate into being about a single side-issue, some irrelevant person's personal agenda. The response that refutes it just draws more attention to the single issue. It would be great if future posts just ignored those and made positive statements about LibreOffice and TDF as a whole or addressed points raised in the article itself. Such a positive and informative article deserves respect rather than a flame-war! Actually looking around at many articles about LibreOffice i notice that quite a few are sidelined by blatant attempts to start flame-wars or comments that make it difficult to post links to the articles in family-friendly environments. If only the comments were at all related to the articles, perhaps developing reasoned debate about the issues discussed! With the 4.0.0 release i meant to go around and give supportive User Support to people that posted question about how to do this or that or fix something.

Re: [libreoffice-users] desktop-integration
Heinrich, I am sorry. I misunderstood your intent. Yes, it does seem like a bug and should be addressed. I cannot shed any light on this specific subject, since I am not using any 4.x LO version. I am keeping with the stable 3.6+ series until 4.1.4+ is released. Then I may try it, depending on the complaints I see on this forum. That is just my computer policy. As for desktop integration (DI) being kde-specific, I don't think that is the case. Yes, there were, and still are in the 3.6 series, several versions of desktop integration for the different desktop environments (DEs). However, I just checked my 3.6.6.2 version and there are now only three: freedesktop, mandriva, and suse. There is no kde or gnome-specific version and the freedesktop DI seems to be the coming standard http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/ , with mandriva and suse the final holdouts in the 3.6.6.2 case. So, I suspect if you select freedesktop for your gnome DE, it should work for you. It works for my KDE DE. In fact, gnome and kde are now so similar in API (Application Programming Interface) that they will run each others' apps (kde and gtk) and share the desktop directories/links, if not the menus. You may have also read the reply to this thread that the LO 4.1 series no longer has separate DI rpm package files, but has the DI integrated into the main package. I suspect that integration is the freedesktop DI, but that is just a guess. The bottom line is that this problem you are experiencing - not being able to run the main LO program or any of the sub-apps - does seem like a bug to me. Not being able to select a particular DI, may not be a bug, but just evolution. Hope this helps. Girvin Herr sun shine wrote: Girvin This is a topic I have some interest in and have been following.

Re: [libreoffice-users] desktop-integration
Hi :) I think the desktop integration packages normally get added around the time that beta-testing is over. It might have happened earlier in some branches, such as the 4.0.0 but when beta testing it's fairly normal to find one or 2 things are not quite finalised. Normally you just report problem and get on with the rest to see if you can find anything else. Getting bogged down with 1 issue means you miss the chance to explore the rest.

If that works, then you could manually add a link in your menu or at least an icon on your desktop. soffice is the main libreoffice program or, more accurately, script, that invokes the other programs (Writer, Calc, etc.). If that program is not run first, then the others may not be initialized properly to run. You could also run writer, calc, etc. from a terminal and see what messages are output from it. They may give you a clue as to why it isn't running properly. But my bet is on soffice. FYI: soffice is a legacy name from the StarOffice days. Maybe some day the devs will get around to changing that - unless it would break something. Hope this helps.

'Stable version' Re: [libreoffice-users] desktop-integration
Hi Girvin, Sorry for jumping in but I read this text from you: Girvin R. Herr wrote (22-07-13 20:50) [...] I cannot shed any light on this specific subject, since I am not using any 4.x LO version. I am keeping with the stable 3.6+ series until 4.1.4+ is released. [...] The 4.0 series is not different from the 3.6 or 4.1 in the sense that you can use a third or fourth bugfix release (so 4.0.3 or 4.0.4) just as fine as the 3.6.4 and later the 4.1.4 .

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Some content in ODP slide appears only in slide show view of Impress, not in normal view or PDF output
Hi :) In this sort of situation is it possible to go into the file as a though it's a zip-file and fix it by just editing a couple of easy things in there? ie filename.odp to filename.zip and then edit the xml file in there? Would that be an easier approach to fixing a LOT of files in a big batch run? Regards from Tom :) From: Regina Henschel rb.hensc...@t-online.de To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Friday, 19 July 2013, 20:31 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Some content in ODP slide appears only in slide show view of Impress, not in normal view or PDF output Hi vi5u0, The document has damaged content. The error is not in LO but already in the file. In detail: The document contains a lot of objects which has got an attribute svg:viewbox=0 0 0 0. Having a viewbox with width and height zero means, that the object is not displayed. When you try to edit the objects, you will notice, that they vanish in edit view too. If I set a proper width and height manually in the file souce, the upper drawings are shown. The question is, how was the file generated? Most of the objects are of draw:type=ooxml-rect. That suggests, that the original file was a .pptx. Which application was used to convert it to .odp?

Re: [libreoffice-users] CRITBINOM function description is wrong

Zero is always going to be less than any criterion value, so any result is going to correspond to the start of the distribution and be trivial.
