Public bug reported: It's not possible to use pyoo, which uses the Uno connector to Libreoffice, on a machine where the Libreoffice Snap is installed. The pyoo/Uno connector works fine with the libreoffice Apt packages.
To reproduce run this script: #!/usr/bin/env python3 import pyoo import subprocess import time import shlex # PyOO needs a running Libreoffice process to do its work lo_proc = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split("soffice --accept=\"socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;\" --norestore --nologo --nodefault")) time.sleep(3) # give Libreoffice time to actually start before trying to connect to it lo_instance = pyoo.Desktop('localhost', 2002) lo_instance.create_spreadsheet() Expected results (seen with the Libreoffice DEB-packages from Ubuntu): A new Calc window opens up showing a spreadsheet Actual results: $ ./test.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pyoo.py", line 1833, in _get_remote_context return resolver.resolve(url) uno.NoConnectException: Connector : couldn't connect to socket (Success) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./test.py", line 10, in <module> lo_instance = pyoo.Desktop('localhost', 2002) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pyoo.py", line 1853, in __init__ self.remote_context = _get_remote_context(resolver, url) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pyoo.py", line 1835, in _get_remote_context raise IOError(resolver, url) OSError: [Errno pyuno object (com.sun.star.uno.XInterface)0x1ff9450{implementationName=com.sun.star.comp.bridge.UnoUrlResolver, supportedServices={com.sun.star.bridge.UnoUrlResolver}, supportedInterfaces={com.sun.star.lang.XServiceInfo,com.sun.star.bridge.XUnoUrlResolver,com.sun.star.lang.XTypeProvider,com.sun.star.uno.XWeak}}] uno:socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext Actual results if you specify the path to the soffice binary: lo_proc = subprocess.Popen(shlex.split("soffice --accept=\"socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;\" --norestore --nologo --nodefault")) $ ./test.py /snap/libreoffice/90/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.55: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pyoo.py", line 1833, in _get_remote_context return resolver.resolve(url) uno.NoConnectException: Connector : couldn't connect to socket (Success) During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./test.py", line 10, in <module> lo_instance = pyoo.Desktop('localhost', 2002) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pyoo.py", line 1853, in __init__ self.remote_context = _get_remote_context(resolver, url) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pyoo.py", line 1835, in _get_remote_context raise IOError(resolver, url) OSError: [Errno pyuno object (com.sun.star.uno.XInterface)0x1b11450{implementationName=com.sun.star.comp.bridge.UnoUrlResolver, supportedServices={com.sun.star.bridge.UnoUrlResolver}, supportedInterfaces={com.sun.star.lang.XServiceInfo,com.sun.star.bridge.XUnoUrlResolver,com.sun.star.lang.XTypeProvider,com.sun.star.uno.XWeak}}] uno:socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1806514 Title: Cannot use PyUno connector with Libreoffice snap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1806514/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
