Re: [libreoffice-users] Which components do you use most?
Hi :) Wow! At last some people using Calc more than Writer. Interesting to see neither seem to need or use Base at all. It kinda makes sense of the high quality answers we see about Calc though. Other posts in this thread showing a very low usage of Calc had me worried. I know it's possible to understand something without using it much but i feel that daily experience and a lot of usage often helps me learn how to make best use of rare quirks or good work-arounds for rare oddities = which is one reason i know so little about Calc. This mailing-list is a great place to pick-up hints&tips. The marketing list is trying to deliver daily tips by twitter and anyone who can write a really short hint or tip would really be helping the wider community quite a lot. Quite probably you don't even notice using something that noobs would find hugely useful. "The Calc shuffle" (how to drag a single cell), for example.

Hi :) Maybe some security or antivirus or firewall or proxy server or flaky wiifi or router in need of reboot. Doesn't sound very likely to me but it's what i would usually say. This seems to happen quite often when there is a new release but only seems to affect ZenWiz afaik. Don't we usually pass this on to the websites team?

Tim: Just my two cents - I used the method you described up to somewhere around when version 4.x first appeared, but for more recent updates, the donation page is as far as I can go.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Deleting a Table in Impress
Hi: Someone asked me offline (or is that back channel?) to provide examples of what I meant by my comments regarding Impress. I think the implication was that these were unfair rants. So here are examples that come to mind: 1) I said Impress is a "Work in Progress": this wasn't a slur, merely an observation. One example is that the export to pdf doesn't support anything but the slides themselves. I don't even know whether the developers ever intended to "complete" this capability for Notes, Handouts and such. I just went to utilize a feature that I assumed would be there, and found that it didn't exist (or at least I can't find any way to make such a choice). I utilized a third-party "printer driver" which worked just fine, although it would be nice to have all of the capabilities of LO's own PDF exporter. 2) I said that Impress has "interface inconsistencies": again, just an observation. One example is that if one copies an object on one slide, and then pastes it into a different slide, and then uses one of the arrow keys to move the object's position (the pasted object is clearly selected - handles showing, etc.), the screen display will jump to an earlier or later slide rather than moving the object within the slide. If one holds the arrow down (when, for instance, the object needs to be moved a good distance), you might end up at the first or last slide of the presentation depending on your reaction time to the unexpected screen chaos. This is, of course, quite simply explained by the fact that pasting an object doesn't seem to give that object (and the slide display) focus, but rather leaves it on the thumbnails on the left side. I don't believe that is the normally expected behavior, and it certainly isn't how Writer, for instance, reacts (although I understand that pages are not "independent" as they are in Impress). Again, this normally isn't tough to deal with - you just have to remember to click on the display before attempting to move the pasted object. If you're pasting a selection of multiple objects, however, you end up needing to re-select them before moving - and this can be quite tricky if they've landed on top of other objects. So, if my comments appeared snooty to anyone else who was too polite to call me on them publicly, I apologize if the tone seemed offensive. I believe, however, that the remarks were factual - I certainly can't imagine anyone making the argument that Impress is at the maturity level of Writer. And I don't think that should come as a big surprise given the relative importance (and user interest) of the two. It just 'is what it is' as they say. Have a great day ... -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Deleting-a-Table-in-Impress-tp4108931p4109054.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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

The download should start soon after you get to that page. But with
default settings in your browser, you will probably be challenged -
by a pretty inconspicuous banner at the top or bottom of the browser
window - to confirm that you do indeed want the somewhat invasive
procedure of a file download. If you don't respond to that, you will
get no further.
I'm using [...] the Firefox browser ...
Firefox needs additional reassurance if you need to download a file
over 50 megabytes in size (as LibreOffice will be). See
http://cdn.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/mega-consent-download-large-files.png

the help ("?") icon at the left of the address bar.
I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Download page fails again
I use to use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but now use 14.04 and Linux Mint 16. Both with MATE desktop environment, since I am not fond of Unity. I use the 64 and 32 bit versions of both. I use Firefox be default. Now that Chrome has a working 64 bit .deb file version, I have that installed as well. I have to deal with people who use Chrome and it is easier to have it on my desktop to work with instead of firing up my Win7 laptop to help them out. I just tried the official download page and the pop up window for saving the file popped up as soon as I saw the "donation information". I did have my browser ask me if I would allow for "something" to happen that the page wants done. It is a security option preventing things like redirection and downloads without my knowledge. How is your FF setup? What security packages have you added onto it. Your comment of it might be your setup of FF seems to make me think that way. Of course I have had the same problem with some issues with LO that other never had, so it is not uncommon to me. The more I think about it the more it seems some type of security option is set in FF that prevents the "save as" pop-up from showing. Try disabling your add-ons and extension to see if one of those packages are interfering with it. I know I have one a few years ago that caused me some issues, or it was a combination of them interacted to the point that I had problems. So I just disabled all of the add-ons and extensions and add them back in one by one till I found the one that caused all of the problems. I do not have as many added to my install of FF as I use to. "original source"? The archive page is original "source". It is part of the TDF/LO server/site system. Yes, there are other places to get LO installs. I create a DVD [project] so people would have a physical media to work with instead of downloading the files. I have passed out these DVDs for several years now to businesses that would never download the software from the LO servers. AS for other places, unless it is a Linux repository, I tend to say away from them. I knew of places in the "early days" of LO that offered "modified" version of LO for Windows and they were just places where you got "nasties" installed with the LO software.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Help with LO Base
Hi :) Relational databases have been around for quite a long time now. When many records/rows contain the same data it helps if that data can be held separately so that only 1 instance is held with the many rows simply referencing that 1 instance. That 1 instance can then be edited or updated affecting all the rows/records simultaneously without any worry that some records might not have received the change. It keeps data consistent. It reduces the amount of storage space the database takes up. Of course, like almost any tool, it can be taken to a ridiculous extreme of diminishing returns where it becomes worthwhile considering alternatives but generally it is a good way of making a database more efficient.

[libreoffice-users] displaying/editing a table through LO-Base
Hello, To start with - I am not certain that this belongs into THIS "forum"... I run a MySQL-database which is stored at a Linux-Debian-Squeeze-Server. This DB consists of "dozens" of inter-related tables, views, functions, procedures, etc., etc. I have been accessing the DB both through the the command-line client and phpMyAdmin, adding, updating, deleting tuples with no problems at all with ALL tables. Except - when accessing the DB through LO-Base, using the JDBC connector from MySQL (mysql-connector-java-5.1.30), there is just ONE table which I cannot access. it is defined like this: CREATE TABLE inventar (nummer INTEGER NOT NULL, bezeichnung VARCHAR (255) not null default ' ', stueckZahl INTEGER not null default 1, anschDatum DATE not null DEFAULT '1999-09-01',/* Anschaffungsdatum */ fvbNr INTEGER not null default 0, /* Firmennummer des Lieferanten */ typBesch CHAR(1) not null default 'k',/* Miete, Kauf, Leihe, Spende,... */ anschKosten FIXED (11,2) default 0, /* Anschaffungskosten in EUR */ repKosten FIXED (11,2) default 0, /* aufgelaufene Reparaturkosten in EUR */ abschreibung FIXED (11,2) default 0, /* aufgelaufene Abschreibung in EUR */ datEliminiert DATE NOT NULL DEFAULT '2099-09-01',/* aus Inventar ausgeschieden am... */ vorhanden SMALLINT NOT NULL default 1,/* Menge laut Inventur */ invDat DATE not null default '1999-09-01',/* Inventur-Datum */ bemerkung VARCHAR (255) not null default ' ', PRIMARY KEY (nummer), UNIQUE INDEX (nummer), INDEX (fvbNr), INDEX (typBesch), FOREIGN KEY (fvbNr) REFERENCES fvbPartner(nummer), FOREIGN KEY (typBesch) REFERENCES invBeschTyp(code) ) CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_german1_ci ENGINE=InnoDB ; I am sure that the problem lies with the JDBC-Connector itself or its usage under LO-Base, since I don't experience any problems when going either through the command-line client, phpMyAdmin or the native MySQL connector under LO-Base. There is NO entry in any of the MySQL-logs... Has anybody experienced a similar situation?

Re: [libreoffice-users] displaying/editing a table through LO-Base
Heinrich, I can't be sure if this is your problem, but in the past, I have experienced strange behavior in Base when I upgraded MySQL without saving and restoring the database. In other words, using the old MySQL version database with the new MySQL version. At those times, I was getting some complaints in the MySQL log about the database integrity. However, running the MySQL-suggested database fixer made it worse, not better. Since then, I have been using the policy to save the database with mysqldump under the old version, renaming the MySQL database directory to force a fresh install, upgrading MySQL, and then, after the installation, restore the database with the new version's mysql. Since I have been doing that process, I have not seen any database strangeness and the log remains "clean", but verbose. So, if you have upgraded MySQL at some time in the past and not "upgraded" the database at that time, that may be your instability's "root cause". You may try a save and restore. The conversion process of mysqldump converting to SQL and mysql importing the resulting SQL can act as a sort of filter to discard problem areas in the database. I don't think it will do any harm, but always backup first. For the record, I am using MySQL 5.5.36 and MySQL-connector-java-5.1.18 and they seem to work well together.

Except - when accessing the DB through LO-Base, using the JDBC connector from MySQL (mysql-connector-java-5.1.30), there is just ONE table which I cannot access. it is defined like this: CREATE TABLE inventar (nummer INTEGER NOT NULL, bezeichnung VARCHAR (255) not null default ' ', stueckZahl INTEGER not null default 1, anschDatum DATE not null DEFAULT '1999-09-01',/* Anschaffungsdatum */ fvbNr INTEGER not null default 0, /* Firmennummer des Lieferanten */ typBesch CHAR(1) not null default 'k',/* Miete, Kauf, Leihe, Spende,... */ anschKosten FIXED (11,2) default 0, /* Anschaffungskosten in EUR */ repKosten FIXED (11,2) default 0, /* aufgelaufene Reparaturkosten in EUR */ abschreibung FIXED (11,2) default 0, /* aufgelaufene Abschreibung in EUR */ datEliminiert DATE NOT NULL DEFAULT '2099-09-01',/* aus Inventar ausgeschieden am... */ vorhanden SMALLINT NOT NULL default 1,/* Menge laut Inventur */ invDat DATE not null default '1999-09-01',/* Inventur-Datum */ bemerkung VARCHAR (255) not null default ' ', PRIMARY KEY (nummer), UNIQUE INDEX (nummer), INDEX (fvbNr), INDEX (typBesch), FOREIGN KEY (fvbNr) REFERENCES fvbPartner(nummer), FOREIGN KEY (typBesch) REFERENCES invBeschTyp(code) ) CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_german1_ci ENGINE=InnoDB ; I am sure that the problem lies with the JDBC-Connector itself or its usage under LO-Base, since I don't experience any problems when going either through the command-line client, phpMyAdmin or the native MySQL connector under LO-Base. There is NO entry in any of the MySQL-logs... Has anybody experienced a similar situation?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Download page fails again
Okay so a couple of people having difficulties, let's start digging: can you download other files normally? Due to the archive reference I guess the answer is "yes"! how about other browsers? Can you try something like seamonkey? In ff/preferences under General where are you downloading to?

Since that time, I've never been able to download from the site - no error messages or anything like that - just no download. So, unfortunately, I can't provide any clues. I'm using 64 bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and the Firefox browser if that makes any difference. I've read all sorts of reasons why the "official download" might have stopped working, but none of them make sense to me. Luckily there are other ways to obtain LO, although it does seem to be just a little risky to not be getting it from the original source. Because most of the comments I read seemed to suggest that other people have no problem with the "official" page, I just assumed that something was amiss with my system in particular and ignored advice like "try again later" and the like. I did that, too, and it never worked. Someone posted the link to the archive, and that's what I now use when the main page fails. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@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
