[libreoffice-users] Re: How do I install the current Linux version
On 10/31/16 6:45 PM, Virgil Arrington wrote: Here's how I did it with Ubuntu 14.04LTS. I imagine it might work with Mint, which is based on Ubuntu. Method 1 I opened a command line terminal (With Ubuntu, it's Ctrl-Alt-t). I typed in the following commands, hitting after each line. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-5-1 sudo apt-get update After typing in the first line, you'll be prompted for your user password. The first line adds the repository for LO 5.1.x. The second line automatically updates your system to use it. Method 2 You can do the same thing through Synaptic Package Manager. Open Synaptic and click on Settings and then Repositories. In the Repositories dialog, click on Other Software, then click Add. Then type in ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-5-1 and click Add Source. You will be prompted to reload your software sources. Once you do that, you can click Mark All Upgrades. Synaptic will mark the LO packages that are to be updated. Click Apply and you'll be upgraded. Again, I've used both methods with Ubuntu. That said, I am not by any means an experienced Linux user. I tend to use Synaptic for all my software installation needs. I've never downloaded and installed a *.deb file. Instructions for these methods are found at: https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-5-1. I don't know enough about Mint to know if it will work properly, but since Mint is based on Ubuntu, I tend to believe it will. Virgil Hi, Virgil, Method 2 does not work for me. Theory, the Synaptic Package Manager in 17.3 is a bit different than what you have seen. The exact steps you mentioned can't be done, and I made my "best guess" as to the correct selections I see in 17.3 here. What I've ended up with is a cursor that indicates things are locked up. On my Mac, it would be the "spinning beach ball of death", in Windows the endless rotating hourglass cursor. LOL I can hop over to the Linux Mint forums about this if that is your suggestion. Or I can go ahead and try Method 1. For others following this thread, I have a number of messages flagged to reply to, but I want to work with Method 2 and see if I can get it to work before replying to the flagged messages. -- Ken Mac OS X 10.11.6 Firefox 49.0.1 Thunderbird 45.3.0 "My brain is like lightning, a quick flash and it's gone!" -- 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

Re: [libreoffice-users] Creating a General Ledger in Base
While I do not have and example, I suggest that you look around on the internet for what is already Ledger designed against what LO Base can connect to. For instance, you could download mysqlledger from https://github.com/johnathanmartin/mysqlledger Connect it to LibreOffice Base http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/diy-it-guy/diy-connect-libreoffice-base-to-a-mysql-database/ And then start working on the front end the way you want it to look. On the other hand, there are free open source accounting packages that almost always start with general ledger. Like multi-platform "GnuCash". GnuCash by default stores data in an xml format. Starting with version 2.4, GnuCash financial data can be stored in a SQL database using SQLite3, MySQL or PostgreSQL. Make the parts from the accounting package you think are missing in Base. Then back-in to the program to build entirely around a Base front-end. Base and FireBird are coming along if your going to build from scratch. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Base/FirebirdSQL Hope this helps. On 11/3/2016 2:53 PM, John R.

I have created many examples for Base - but I dont know much about a general ledger. Could be you could use something of the described databases from here: http://robert.familiegrosskopf.de/lo_hb/BeispielDBs_mit_Beschreibung_V51.zip But notice: All this descriptions and databases are in German. This description isn't translated to English like the first German Base Handbook. You could find other examples directly here: http://robert.familiegrosskopf.de but there isn't any example that might have any content you are looking for.

[libreoffice-users] Suggestion for the archive
I routinely use the LibreOffice archive to download the newer releases. I started this because for some reason I could not get a decent response, or sometimes even a connection, to the usual download sources. I noticed two things about the archive today. One is that the font is really small. This makes it more difficult to read for older folks who don't see quite as well as we used to. The other suggestion, which is more important, is to have the archive list the directories in reverse chronological order. That way we don't have to plow down however many pages it takes to get to the newest release. Just a thought or two MR -- 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
