[gentoo-user] openoffice-bin-4.0.1 - no menu text on top

2013-10-20 Thread Joseph

I have been hit by a bug that I don't know how to go about it.
First my login manager slim is not showing any username / password text upon 
log in; now Openoffice-bin has no menu text on top.

How to go about this bug?
I have four systems two x86 and two amd64 
one x86 and one amd64 are effected by this bug, two other system working normally :-/

Sounds like a font issue.
You could try 'emerge -vae small package showing this problem'

I wouldn't try this with openoffice right away.

Do you mean:

In addition I have tried fc-list and try to compare font on the same systems, 
they are all the same.

system called atom - not effected
system called syscon2 - effected by not showing text the menu.

All fonts that are in atom are present in syscon2 so I don't think this is 
problem with the fonts.

Solved.

Downgrading to x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.4-r1 solved the problem.

 Does this mean that libreoffice is going to replace OOo in the tree?

Looks like it. It has already replaced it on all my computers.

Gentoo's OpenOffice has included the go-oo patches for a long time
anyway, which were the big thing changed about LibreOffice (those
patches included in mainline), and using the two I can honestly say
there's really no difference as far as I can tell, aside from the
splash screen. Somebody posted about some Sun templates a while
back... maybe something proprietary like that is changed, but
OpenTemplate.org is meant to replace those anyway.

I would say switch to LibreOffice and don't look back. :)



I wouldn't. While LibreOffice may have some advances at the moment, I'm still 
interested in following main-line OOo - now being setting under Apache.

Please do not force us to convert from OO to LO. I have no problem with 
separate installs for each, but there will be those (like me) that want the 
official OO installs.

That said, I have more confidence in Apache managing OO than I do TDF with LO, 
having observed TDF's mailing lists for several months (before finally dropping 
off in favor of Apache OO). I know others will have different opinions; but 
that (again) is why we should allow those using OO to remain using OO.

If you want it to stay in the tree, you will have to find someone to 
maintain it or maintain it yourself.  Otherwise, it looks like OOo is 
going to be checking out pretty soon.  I would rather stay with OOo 
myself but I'm not a dev and to be honest, have no interest in being one 
either.


Just saying.

Is it much worse than OpenOffice? Build times are nearly identical on

For systems without enough space I just map some more with nfs (before

network with nfs over tcp for best reliability but it works fine.

[gentoo-user] OpenOffice remerge failed

2011-07-24 Thread Mick
It must be one of the most annoying things in Gentoo when OOo fails at the 
very last minute!

It may be this was caused by me forgetting to set MAKEOPTS=-j1 but just in 
case something else is amiss, does this look familiar?

Before I start again, shall I switch to libreoffice-3.3.1 or is it not yet as
polished as OOo?
   


I found a post on the forums that mentioned disabling the nsplugin as a 
fix.  You may want to try that if it is not a really long compile for 
you.  If it is a long one, may want to wait and see if anyone else

Since that is a huge package to build, you got enough memory?  How about

Done that, plus ~210 gigabytes spare, tried no ccache, blank cflags etc
etc, and its built successfully many times on this machine - up until a
month or so ago.

However, I'm running python-updater as Ive discovered a few other things
are not working, so its probably some obscure part of the build
chain/supporting apps is broken.

[gentoo-user] openoffice borking tables

2009-12-15 Thread James
Hello,


For years now, I have used openoffice to edit word file with
tables. Now no matter what version word doc, I cannot edit 
and file that end in .doc with a simple table. I can edit a .doc
file but upon reload the formatting is scrambled. I always save
them as word (.doc) XP/97 format. 
It sounds like the USE flags got changed and I need to rebuild
OpenOffice.

I have OO-3.1.1
with these flags (cups dbus eds gnome gstreamer gtk java kde ldap 
linguas_en linguas_en_GB linguas_en_US nsplugin opengl pam)


Ideas on to flags before I recompile it? (the linguas look suspicious
to me The bin version of 3.1.1 only has these flags:
(gnome java kde LINGUAS=en_GB)


suggestions?

[gentoo-user] openoffice fails on qt_plugins_3.3rc

Hello,

Openoffice 3.0 failed so I installed  version 3.1.0.


It gives  this message:


QSettings: failed to open file '/usr/qt/3/etc/settings/qt_plugins_3.3rc'
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'



Abiword works. However, I've had trouble with OO in the past, base
on obscure MS fonts missing, so, I'm not sure I have the necessary
fonts install. Also using kde-4.2.4 and gcc-4.1.2.


Any help or ideas are appreciated.

I also don't know what it does, but I do know I had to remove the flag to get 
OOo to build since about 4 months ago.

More info at bug 256773. Perhaps you can make sense of it and even get your 
question answered, it's all a bit over my head.

I would assume that USE=nsplugin gives you browser plugins to view OOo files. 
It's a major hassle but have you looked in the emerge log for clues? Perhaps 
the plugins couldn't be built and th reason is buried deep in that massive 
build log. 

You might even need to MAKEOPTS=-j1 to get a sane order in the log ... :-)

I seem to recall some issue where OOo was building the plugin against
a different xulrunner when you have both 1.8 and 1.9 installed. In
other words maybe it build the FF2 plug-in instead of FF3? If that is
even possible. I could be totally wrong. :)

What USE flags are set for Openoffice? Does openoffice-bin have the same

Since you can't have both of them installed, use quickpkg to make a
binary package of your openoffice installation before unmerging it.
Then try out openoffice-bin. When you want your old version back, use
emerge -k openoffice to install from the binary package.

 Did you remember to compile OpenOffice with LINGUAS=fr? May be
 something to consider adding to your make.conf to get around
 language/localization issues.

 I'm not sure that's what I need.  I would like OpenOffice to be in English, 
 not French, but do want to be able to enter accented characters as used in 
 French, German, etc., when I select the us-intl keyboard layout.  

Using KDE 3.5.9, OOo 3.0.0 USE='cups dbus gtk java kde ldap linguas_en
linguas_en_GB nsplugin opengl pam'

International keyboard support changed recently with the upgrade to xorg
 1.5.3 with evdev.  Before the xorg  upgrade, I had the international
keyboard layout specified in my xorg.conf:

Section InputDevice
 Identifier  Keyboard0
 Driver  kbd
 Option  XkbLayout us_intl # Enable accents
EndSection

If you're using the (default) evdev interface you should comment out the
old style input devices for your keyboard and mouse in xorg.conf.

Since implementing xorg 1.5.3 with evdev, I use the KDE keyboard tool to
change the keyboard layout 'on the fly'.

In KDE I've set up my keyboard as a generic 105 key international, with
two layouts: US and US International.

With the keyboard set to US International using KDE keyboard tool, the
deadkey combinations produce accented characters as expected.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Dave

characters (e.g., ´   + e or ^ + a , etc.) I´ve set up KDE keyboard layouts 
and can get the proper characters displayed on console, xterm, kmail and 
other windows, but the dead key combinations in OpenOffice are simply 
dead--no characters produced at all.  When switching back to the US layout 
without dead keys, the same key presses to OpenOffice produce two characters, 
as one would expect.

I do this all the time with OpenOffice on my laptop with openSUSE 10.3.  Is 
there something I´ve not setup correctly on my gentoo system?

Did you remember to compile OpenOffice with LINGUAS=fr? May be
something to consider adding to your make.conf to get around
language/localization issues.

[gentoo-user] OpenOffice-bin spell checking?

2009-02-24 Thread Mark Knecht
Hi,
   I emerged eselect-oodict and it acts like it's doing something but
still I don't see any dictionaries in

Tools-Options-Language Settings-Writing Aids

   Under Languages I have selected English (USA)

   Is there something else I have to turn on to get spell checking
working for my wife? I do not see the entry this person has in the
upper box. Why not? I seem to have hunspell installed and it says it's
a replacement for myspell. Does it work? What's the special trick?

Thanks,
Mark

Observation: more packages should have warnings against this. GCC 4.3
needs more than 1.5GiB of disk space to build, at least with the USE
flags fortran gcj gtk mudflap openmp.

Doubt: don't you have enough swap? Does Openoffice need so much memory
that even with swap it failed?

Both RAM and disk space are non-issues on my system[1] and last
night's ooo rebuild still managed to fail (too far away from my logs
to see that error easily, but pretty sure it was module 'sw' rather
than 'chart2'). I restarted it this morning, but didn't get to stay
and watch... and I'll be out of town all weekend. Maybe next week I'll
have time to see if it's willing to cooperate... same general error
message as OP, but different place in the build.

[1] 4GB ram, less than 1gb used when I'm not compiling, and I was
building ooo with portage temp pointed toward my half-empty 500GB
drive (since it wasn't going to fit in tmpfs like nearly everything
else does).

 Dirk Heinrichs

Saying compiling OO is idiotic is a bit harsh and a generalization,
but there are merit to the underlying idea.

First off, as far as I can remember, compiling OO from source and
installing the binary version is not exactly the same. The source one
install OO from go-oo.org while the binary package is the normal Sun
OO.

Another reason is that OO is reputed for having a very complicated
build system that takes up a lot of resources to complete. Depending
on the hardware you are doing this on using a binary package that
most likely doesn't fit into your otherwise self-compiled system may
not be that idiotic.

Regards
Dirk

If my hardware is not compilation friendly, I'd use a binary distribution and 
end up with an OOo that fits into the system (given that the maintainers of 
the chosen distribution also compiled the package from sources).

Don't feed trolls, esp when they don't give a real name in their messages.

I compiled OO 3.0.0 without any problem, but I do include Java.
You should take the advice you got at first  search out the real error,
also check the Gentoo Forum  Bugzilla because others may have hit this too.
Otherwise, try compiling with Java (and any extra pkgs that requires).

Hello everyone,

I guess you all missunderestimated the alert about Random Access Memory.
I had the same problem, I could not compile openoffice.
I just had the same warning message and the merge stopped.
I only had 512 of RAM from which 128 are used by my graphic card,
and with the system running it wasn't enough RAM room for Ooo to
compile (at least 256 MB ?!).

ANyway I bought myself a 1GB RAM card and that's it,
I could emerge openoffice and, yesterday, I have successfully compiled
it in like 4 hours hehe !

SO please check how much available memory you have

Be Pleasant, nothing is idiotic, it's just a matter of choice ;-)

 Another reason is that OO is reputed for having a very complicated

 most likely doesn't fit into your otherwise self-compiled system may
 not be that idiotic.
 

 If my hardware is not compilation friendly, I'd use a binary distribution and 
 end up with an OOo that fits into the system (given that the maintainers of 
 the chosen distribution also compiled the package from sources).

I agree, if you are going to use a OS that is source based, you need to
be source based.  It may take 6 or 7 hours to compile OOo on my rig but
everything on my system is compiled as far as I know.

Also, isn't whether a person uses a binary or not up the the person in
the chair?  Why is it that every time someone comes here to get help
with OOo that a comment is made to install the binary?  That is not
exactly a fix for the problem.  I have read about problems with the
binary version too and the compiled version will work fine.  Let the
person that owns the puter make up their own mind.  It's not our place
to tell them what packages to install unless they ask.

[gentoo-user] openoffice 3.0 problem

2008-10-21 Thread Michael George
Yesterday I saw that openoffice 3.0 was unmasked for amd64 so I built
and installed it.  It seemed to work fine on a couple test documents
that I opened, but then I ran into a problem with the one which has my
household expense spreadsheets.

I opened it and the data on one of the sheets was there for sure, but
there was no tab bar for moving between the sheets.  I saved a copy of
that spreadsheet into a new file to see if a natively-stored file will
have the same problem.  It did.  I looked to see if there was an option
to turn on the sheet tab bar, but I didn't find any.

So I rebuilt 2.4.1 and tested it on the spreadsheed which I saved with
OOo 3.0.  It also didn't show the tab bar at the bottom!  When I opened
my original with 2.4.1, though, it appears fine.

Has anyone else encountered this type of problem?

openoffice-bin (which is what I use).  To no avail.

Any ideas?


to see where it's dying, can you run:
$ gdb /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin
and then when it dies in the gdb prompt:
(gdb) thread apply all bt
and post the output

This might not show much, if you use openoffice-bin, we'll see.

emerge -C openoffice-bin  emerge openoffice

openoffice-bin has been compiled with a given set of use flags and on a 
machine that may or may not match what you have. Compiling it yourself is 
always the better idea.

Not so obviously better when it fails.  Here's the tail of what I get:

 Have you upgraded python recently?  I upgraded mine a while back and OOo
 needed to recompile.  You may want to run python-updater and check what it
 says.  It may be something else that OOo depends on that needs to recompile.
  Not real sure since you use the binary version.

 Hope that helps.

 Dale


You may be right.  I tried to recompile OOo, and it pulled in 8 or so packages
that OOo-bin hadn't.  Unfortunately, the compile eventually failed.

I'm running python-updater now.  I'll report results.

[gentoo-user] OpenOffice quickstarter

2008-09-21 Thread Florian Philipp

Hi list!

Somehow I think I'm missing something:

As it seems, app-office/ooqstart-gnome and app-office/oooqs are going 
away real soon and there is supposed to be a quicklauncher which is 
emerged with app-office/openoffice.


So far, so good, but I'm unable to find it! There is 
/usr/lib64/openoffice/share/xdg/qstart.desktop which includes the 
command ooffice -quickstart -nologo -nodefault
but that doesn't work (starts a process which detaches from the console 
but doesn't do anything useful). man ooffice says that the option 
-quickstart is gone since 2.0.0


So, where is this quicklauncher?

Thanks in advance!

It is in the openoffice setting dialog. I cannot find it now but a week 
ago I saw it there.

As help to others who need it, here is my own note to myself :

  OO Quickstarter  :
Tools - Options - Memory - Enable Systray Quickstarter ,
then add to Systray via Kdocker (Gentoo pkg for KDE).

[gentoo-user] openoffice only works as root

2008-09-05 Thread Grant Edwards
After my last emerge -auvND world, openoffice stopped working
for non-root users.  When I run 

  strace /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice -writer

I observe that the program hangs doing a waitpid() call on a
child that was forked to run /usr/lib/openoffice/program/oosplash.bin,
and oosplash.bin is hung waiting on this call:

  connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, 
path=/tmp/OSL_PIPE_1000_SingleOfficeIPC_353b22f3f3e79662742f7b9c3463e52}, 110

If I run oospalsh.bin from the command line, the same thing
happens, it hangs trying to connect to a Unix domain socket.

I've checked, and the socket does exist:

$ ls -l /tmp | grep 'OSL'
srwx-- 1 grante grante  0 Sep  3 23:03 
OSL_PIPE_1000_SingleOfficeIPC_353b22f3f3e79662742f7b9c3463e52

Any ideas on what to do next?
