Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice - patches

I'm about to get a new laptop as my current one is not in compliance with the 
new General Data Protection Regulations (it's just over 10years old with 
Windows 7 so no longer supported by Microsoft regarding patches).

It has been suggested I use LibreOffice rather than Microsoft Word, Excel etc.

I've read a few articles on Libre, but what I would like to know is - you say 
Libre is an 'open
Source software', and input/ patches is by anyone, that's the way I've digested 
it. So my concern is, do you actually mean 'anyone' or are the patches 
development by your own team of software developers?  You can obviously see 
where I'm going with this.

I also noticed the software package name has changed over a relatively short 
period of time. Is it just in name or do folk have to keep down loading new 
packages?

Would appreciate your comments as soon as you can please.

Kind regards
Liz D'arville

My comment is to keep your laptop and install linux on it... :)

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have added the 'Sanskrit2003' fonts in the hidden language list.
I am using KDE of Linux. Please let me know how to proceed further
to type in Sanskrit using Libre writer.
Thank you,
L. R. Rao.






Hello,

You have to enable indian languages in the set of available languages 
for your keyboard in KDE


I have no KDE available at the moment, so I paste here the old 
instructions for KDE 4.2.2 (change where needed - you need to copy 
sanskrit2003 fonts in your fonts folder):


Click on the KDE menu start button -> Computer -> System Settings -> 
Language and Country.

Select "Keyboard Mapping".
In the «layout» tab, check «Enable keyboard layouts».
From the list of available mappings, select India and add it to the 
active mappings by clicking on the green arrow.

Click Apply and then close the dialog.
The keyboard layout indicator will then appear on the KDE panel, where 
you can click to select the desired language.
After choosing the layout for the Indian keyboard, you can then use the 
font sanskrit2003, selecting it, in your favorite applications, from the 
respective character menu.



Maybe also this thread can help you.

Okay, thanks, your response is extremely helpful. Regressing to 5.2.7 will

Please, where do I find a downloader for 5.2.7? I checked the main download

5.3.6. Thanks.

Hello Alice,

Maybe you could try using a different version of 5.3; right today the 
5.3.6 has been released.


If that doesn't work... could you describe better your problem? Is there 
a non active button?


And... supposing you're italian... there's also an italian users' 
support list that you can subscribe to:

Re: [libreoffice-users] need help off list on a Asus Win10/Ubuntu laptop

[Luca Daghino @ Libero]

Il 14/08/2017 06:16, Tim-L--Elmira-NY ha scritto:


I am just MAD at my ASUS X751S laptop.

Windows updated itself to a newer version of Windows 10.  That, again, 
dumped the GRUB system to be able to boot to Ubuntu-MATE 16.04LTS.  I 
have been trying to get it working for over 14 hours.


Suggestion
Virtualize windows and solve your problem :)




First, from past experiences, It took awhile to get it to boot again 
from the DVD drive. Then I use a Live CD to partition the 1.0 TB 
drive.  Currently it is trying my next try.


Windows did not like having 1 TB as a single drive.  Then I made a 
small FAT32 partition before a 250GB Windows partition. Windows 
finally installed.


Next I had to work with the remaining space into 3 partitions, 
creating the following - "/", "/home", and Swap.  "/" was set to about 
40 GB which I hope is enough.  "/swap" is about 2 GB at the end of the 
drive.  The rest, about 740 GB is now set for "/home". This is the 
first time I figured out how to make the "/" OS system and the "/home" 
in different partitions.


I do not know how many times the system would only boot to Win10. I 
did not lose much data as the last time.  Most of the files were 
copied to the 6TB "storage" desktop.


SO

I would like help trying to stop this issue now.  Since I do not have 
the same problem[s] with my Gateway NE56R12u, I think it might be the 
ASUS laptop or the fact it has a 1 TB drive instead of 500 GB on this 
Gateway - which I am typing from the Ubuntu partition.


Anyone who can help, you can use either this 
webmas...@krackedpress.com address or timothy.lungst...@gmail.com 
email address.


---

well, it is past midnight and I have still an hour or two to get both 
Windows 10 and Ubuntu-MATE 16.04 LTS set up enough that I can transfer 
the files/data to the partitions.  Right now, Windows 10 is running 
and I added only the printers and Firefox browser to it.  Ubuntu is 
installing the basic packages I need to run, but I will wait till I 
get some sleep to install the printers and the large list of packages 
including a much newer version of LibreOffice.

Hi,

I have been trying to download the linux rpm via torrent since about 
24 hours ago. Stuck at 99.5%. Anyone else experiencing problems? 
Windows came down fine.


I could always grab the torrent again but interested if this is a 
common problem.


Cheers

I often have problems downloading *.msi files and relative *msi.torrent 
files (not only 5.2.5 version)
I have tried many times both torrent download (mainly using 
transmission) and downthemall software (firefox plugin), but I always 
have problems; downloads don't complete with torrent and with 
downthemall do not start at all; I have to repeat the whole thing many 
times before it works.
I only have these problems with files downloaded from the document 
foundation website.

Thanks for pointing out.
Namasté :)

Hello Ankan,
Sorry for my late reply.
I tried your configuration and used the kalpurush font downloaded from 
this website:


https://www.omicronlab.com/bangla-fonts.html

It works ok for me, but I didn't use any avro keyboard, just the normal 
bengali keyboard that comes with win7 pro.

Here is a screenshot:

Maybe you can also try other fonts from:

Since switching to Windows 10, I've had to abandon LibreOffice, since my
printer inexplicably overprints lines in LO. This never happened in Win7.

Anybody have any suggestions?

At some point I am going to Linux Mint 17.3, but I will need to keep at
least one machine running Win10...


Go mint and virtualize win10 :)

But I have to say, I'd pick LO over MSO any day of the week.
