[libreoffice-users] [LibreOffice Bugzilla Migration] Starting shortly! Bugtracker will down for a few hours
Hi all, It's that time! We're just about to migrate Bugzilla from Freedesktop.org to TDF infrastructure. For up-to-date information about the migration, join the #libreoffice-qa IRC channel on Freenode and say hi! For general information, see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/TDF_Bugzilla_Proposal/Migration_Userguide#Guide KEY DETAILS: - Migration Date: January 24th, 2015 at 15:00 UTC - Migration Duration: Approximately 4-6 hours - New URL: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/ Once the migration is complete, I'll send out another email letting you know you may once again ply us with myriad bug reports :-) Cheers, --R -- Robinson Tryon QA Engineer - The Document Foundation LibreOffice Community Outreach Herald qu...@libreoffice.org -- 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
[libreoffice-users] Re: Printing from Linux, Kubuntu/Ubuntu
Hi Pertti: I also am one of the old crowd, so I understand. The database question is probably going quite off-topic (although still part of this forum), so I'll just make a few comments. The first is that, since you are already running LibreOffice, can I presume that you've looked at its Base component. If you notice, there are lots of discussions about that on this forum, so you should have little problem getting answers to most questions. The manuals for all the components of LibreOffice are also available for free download, so that is a plus as well. I personally don't use Base, as I'm an old database person and prefer to use real database management products. Although most of these cost actual money, a few of them have free personal-use products. If you go to http://www.antikytherapubs.com/ and click on the Oracle Installation Tutorial for 64 bit Ubuntu you'll find a pdf I put together on how to acquire, load, and use Oracle XE (the personal version) on Ubuntu (it's actually intended for Red Hat Linux, but isn't at all difficult to get running on Ubuntu). If you're looking to dig in to relational theory and all that good stuff, Oracle is a much better choice than some of the personal products out there. Good Luck keeping the brain cells functioning, and let us know how the Printer situation turns out ...

Re: [libreoffice-users] Installing 2 versions of LO on Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite
Hi, Tom et al.: The previously cited published instructions confused me. However, I was able to install 4 different versions of LibreOffice in parallel under OS X 10.10.1 by renaming the most recent version in Finder: Applications to “LO” with its version number before installing the next version. Now I have under Applications LO4341, LO4352, LO4361 and LibreOffice (LO 4.4.0.2). If I close one and open another, I get the expected version number with “About LibreOffice”. Beyond this, users can customize what to share between versions via LO: Preferences: (LibreOffice: Paths). Best Wishes, Spencer p.s. Regarding “amazing things”, I started writing Fortran in 1963. Computers have been part of my life for over half a century. My basic engineering training discussed both tubes and transistors. Around 1964 or 1965 I was impressed with the availability of 2 transistors in a single package. I’m over the hill but not yet under it ;-) On Jan 22, 2015, at 8:55 AM, Tom Davies tomc...@gmail.com wrote: Hi :) I think you finding something easy is no real indication of whether it is really easy or actually quite complicated.

Steps couldn't be simpler. In fact parallel install is done almost the same as with the Windows .msi packages Put which ever of the installs into /Applications just like any package install. Drag and drop there once the .dmg is downloaded and mounted. Launch by double clicking the folder in /Applications. For the additional installs, they could go into /Applications as well just with different names. But they can go anywhere. For example onto user's Desktop, Documents, Downloads etc... just mount the downloaded .dmg package and drag the LibreOffice or LibreOfficeDev .app directory object to where you want it to reside. It does not need to go into /Applications. Then use Spotlight to find the bootstraprc file and edit it in TextEdit. Just as with Windows or Linux builds, edit the UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/LibreOffice/4 to be UserInstallation=$ORIGIN/../Data/settings The $ORIGIN variable is parsed internally by LibreOffice and then creates the entire user profile within the app package, in the example Data/settings but the directory names for the user profile can actually be anything you like. They are fully structured profiles and are portable. When ready to launch the build, open the .app folder with Finder and locate the soffice executable and Control Open it. You can create an app launcher for it if you don't want to dig down into the folder every time. Easy as pie...

Re: [libreoffice-users] Shouldn't it be more secure to by default disable macro support in LibreOffice?
Although yes, not allowing macros of any sort to run would be more secure, the default installation is to only allow macros from trusted sources and unsigned macros are disabled. So, macros signed by a trusted source are allowed and nothing else. This includes macros included with LO that may be part of things such as certain Wizards; at least there used to be wizards for things like document migration included. I think that disabling all macros would be confusing if you attempted to use a Wizard and it failed to run. I could be mistaken, I did not bother to test (lazy I guess). I don't consider LO usable until I have lowered the setting one level, which requires that I say yes / no for every document that I load that runs macros. I never set it to just run any macro. -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php -- 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

Since I don't do windows ^1, I can't confirm the statement in the original article that MSO ships with Macros disabled by default. If that is the case, then changing the defaults in LibO/AOo/EO/NO/etc won't make a difference, because the user will enable the macro to run, if only for the specific document. Tom Davis wrote: So we tend to find the LO and AOO simply don't have as many vulnerabilities and problems. Because LibO, AOo, EO run on various platforms, I suspect that, as a malware vector, they are less vulnerable than MSO on Windows. By way of example, I can't use JabBib on my laptop, because the version in the official distro repository is incompatible with the specific setup of my laptop. There are two or three other programs I'd like to install, but have similar issues. If I had the drive space, I could install the tool chain required to compile the programs from source code. The apparent increase is insecurity that support for the number of macro languages that LibO AOo brings, is nullified by the macro writer not knowing what components of that language are available on the target machine. It's difficult for anyone to find any flaws that can be exploited by writing some nasty macro. At least one proof of concept nasty macro was publicly released for OOo.

[libreoffice-users] Re: installing and removing extensions?
Spencer, *, Some of the extensions are bundled with LibreOffice core. Spelling and Gramer, Wiki publisher, NLP Solver They are optional installations during installation. The Extension manager dialog (Tools -- Extension Manager) will show a listing of installed extensions, filtered by the check boxes (bundled with LibreOffice, Installed for all users, Installed for current user). Selecting and highlighitng an extension will expose an Options button for the extension. Clicking that button will open a Dialog for configuring the extensions--including the Remove or Disable buttons if applicable--but those buttons won't be present for the bundled extensions. Solver for NonLinear Programing is now a bundled Java JAR build--nlpsolver-- (requiring a functional JRE to run) and is available during installation depending on the build. But I am not sure how the Ubuntu PPA is bundled--so it may be there as an option during custom install -- Optional Components -- Extensions. Or you may need it as an external extension, installed/configured from the Extension manager Add button. Any Ubuntu users up on the PPA packaging for the nlpsolver extension that can help Spencer?

I don't see a menu item insert as, but I recognise that you are
probably translating from the Russian, where menu items may have a
slightly different meaning. But I now see what you mean, I think. If
you copy a cell or range of cells and then use Edit | Paste
Special... (or right-click | Paste Special..., or Ctrl+Shift+V) and
select the Link option in the Paste Special dialogue to paste
elsewhere in the sheet or in another sheet of the same spreadsheet,
links are apparently not created for any empty cells in the source
range. The same problem occurs if you use the alternative technique
of dragging a cell range and holding down Ctrl+Shift as you release
the mouse. If you paste similarly into a different spreadsheet
document, the expected links *are* created, it seems.
Yes: I too find that surprising.
Possible workarounds:
o For a range of cells, copy one suitable (occupied) cell and paste
it as a link.
o With the target cell still selected, edit the formula in the Input
Line to remove $ signs as necessary (depending on the relevant range).
o Fill from the target cell as necessary.
Note that in this case, you may see the target cells linked to any
empty cells as having zero value, not empty.
o Put temporary values in any empty cells before copying and pasting
- and remove them afterwards. (This is simpler than it sounds.)
o Put explicit blanks into any empty cells (and possible amend any
formulae that depend on these cells to allow for these).
(This idea is probably best.)
o Give the source range a name (Insert | Names | Define...) - say Name.
o In the upper left cell of the target, enter =Name (no quotes) -
but press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to complete the formula instead of
ordinary Enter. The formula will appear in the Input Line as {=Name},
but note that you cannot achieve the desired effect by typing these
braces yourself. This creates an array formula which populates other
cells in the target range - including those for any empty cells in
the source range.
I trust this helps.

Но если выделить мышкой несколько ячеек и сделать вставить как в другом месте листа или в другом листе, то ссылки на пустые ячейки почему,то не имеют с ними связи. -- 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
[libreoffice-users] Re: Printing from Linux, Kubuntu/Ubuntu
Pertti: If you are running Ubuntu (or anything else as far as I know) in a Virtual Box, you don't have access to any hardware unless it is recognized by the host system. But if your printer functions properly on the host system (and you set up virtualbox carefully), it should work fine on Ubuntu. The issues I encounter all seem to be related to LOWriter, so if you have no issues with that on your host, it seems to me fairly likely that you should be ok. In any case, if it doesn't work you haven't lost anything. Just as a matter of curiosity, are you looking to a linux distro just to use SQLite and Apache? Or was there some other consideration driving that choice?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Printing from Linux, Kubuntu/Ubuntu
Frank, Thank you very much for your soon reply -- I was just working on the installations. The printer seems to be working on the Windows so let us hope it will work OK with the VirtualBoxUbuntu too. Earlier 10-15years ago I used WindowsUbuntu parallell but then I had to rebuild my PC completely and for some reason never installed the Ubuntu again - perhaps too complicated -- but I never gave up the idea skipping windows. Now I re-installed systemprograms again and decided to start working with Ubuntu again. Next step is to learn using ApacheSQLite for my need of databases. I used to work with MSAccess but am not interested in spending money on purchasing and was told that SQLite is easier and not so heavy as MySQL. Do not know yet. Anyway I find this interesting and think it is a healthy exercise for an old brain too (75y) So any guides and ideas how I shall proceed to get SQLite(3) to run in Ubuntu are welcome.

[libreoffice-users] Shouldn't it be more secure to by default disable macro support in LibreOffice?
Hello list, https://threatpost.com/microsoft-reports-massive-increase-in-macros-enabled-threats/110204 http://blogs.technet.com/b/mmpc/archive/2015/01/02/before-you-enable-those-macros.aspx We think macros and other rarely used, but high risk features should be DISABLED BY DEFAULT in LibreOffice. What do you think? Is it worth it? Thanks..

Re: [libreoffice-users] Shouldn't it be more secure to by default disable macro support in LibreOffice?
Hi :) I think the LibreOffice macros system is more secure by design. I think it's fair to assume that if LO/AOO have a certain percentage of market-share then we could expect roughly that percentage of exploits. That doesn't seem to be happening though. Ok, so you could say that it might be better for malware writers to only aim at the most used office suite and ignore the rest even if they have a sizeable percentage of market-share. However, once a macro is written surely it's not immensely difficult to edit it to work in a different program? That doesn't often work either though because the malware written for MS Office relies on specialist knowledge of the flaws in MS Office. LO/AOO simply don't have the same flaws and vulnerabilities. The top priority of LO/AOO is (are?) radically different from the top priority of MS Office. Microsoft's primary goal, as a profit-making company, is to generate profits. They have shareholders who are concerned about the profitability of the company and on the yield returned on the value of their shares. LO and AOO have none of that. Also the way of working is entirely different. With MS each dev is shielded from knowing too much about the bigger picture and from knowing too much code around the specific area they are working on. Industrial espionage is a major concern. Also once code is written very few people are going to see it. The emphasis is on the code doing the job and on being written fast enough. Devs toil in obscurity and they can't show a portfolio of their work or hold up examples to a future employer to show off how good they are. With LO and AOO any elegant code is much admired and wins respect and starts to attract a fan-base. The other way around is that kludgy code is an embarrassment to the dev and is likely to be seen by lots of peers. In LO and AOO the devs are like Gods of Rock or celebrities and can show off their work. Also MS has teams of people whose sole job is to take a list of problems that other people have found and then decide which are worth fixing and which they think MS can get away with not fixing. By contrast in LO and AOO tons of people gripe about the tiniest thing and wont let it go until it's been fixed. So we tend to find the LO and AOO simply don't have as many vulnerabilities and problems. It's difficult for anyone to find any flaws that can be exploited by writing some nasty macro.
