If less use Fresh, the quality of the next stable will be lower Does this help? No. Basically what you and Sophie are saying is that 'we fully expect new/any user to download and use the Fresh branch by default so that LO (dev?) can find an resolve bugs in the 'new improved added feature' version'. That's just crazy talk. I am somewhat astounded as I hear Charles complaining about funding (rightly so, that's his job), users complaining about lack of bug fixes w/dev's LO countering with 'we only have a certain amount of resources have to prioritise' etc., etc. So why even have two branches to begin with? The Fresh/Still nonsense is just that - nonsense. Here is a link to the internet archive from LO Download in 2013 Dec 31: https://web.archive.org/web/20131231021742/http://www.libreoffice.org/download On that page there is no Fresh, Stable, Still et al; there is only download defaulting to 4.1.4. and minor link options to change to 4.0 or 'Pre-releases' 4.2. That download page makes complete sense. Why on earth the private marketing list change to the current nonsense? @TDF: Please just stop. Go back to the download page of December 2013 keep it simple. IMO you should just drop the Still branch and concentrate your dev efforts on one *single* user release. The next time that I (as a user) hear that you've not enough resources to address a bug report I'll have to ask: so, how many devs are working on 'Fresh' v 'Still' v 'Daily' v 'Trunk' v EOL, etc? Can you not fix the bug because these folks are spread so thin across the various branches that they can't properly concentrate on a baseline release fix? @Sophie/Florian: The admission that 'Fresh' is the default so that bugs will be identified earlier is, IMO, nuts (other words come to mind, but I'll try to keep this civilized). 'Hello World - take our RC (X.Y.0) and use it by default so that we can debug it' is not a good thing to announce/promote here or elsewhere. @Charles: you keep asking for users on in this thread to suggest a new name (Now: if you have ideas for new names, etc. you are welcome to contribute to our marketing team.) - no name is necessary, nor should it be necessary for users on this list to need to subscribe to the marketing list to voice their concerns. You are TDF - instead invite the private marketing list members to participate in this thread, this is afterall a user user support concern. BTW: for those that may want to do this anyway, just how does one gain access to this private marketing list that Sophie spoke of? How about providing a link to a transcript of the private marketing list contents so that others on this open source project can review? Bottom line is that I (and others) disagree with the private marketing list decision to go with the existing 'Fresh/Still/whatever' download page(s).

A lot of people have already gotten used to setup LibreOffice from PPA https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa . But release 4.3 is not available over there up to now. This brings up the question: Will new release be uploaded? And, when it can be expected? As far as I know, Rico Tzschichholz is moderator of the PPA in launchpad.net. Thank you. I had the PPA setup, but I removed it. I prefer to decide which version of LO it have installed. PPAs, like Repositories, seems to make me feel that I am not in control of which version I use. I kept getting the message that I need to update/upgrade to a different version with the PPAs and Repositories seem to, most of the time, remove the version I am using and install an earlier one. Now that I am not upgrading my desktop from Linux Mint 16 to 17, due to a dependency issue that causes two printers not to produce the proper coloring when printing photos and image, I am not getting an updates anymore. So I do not have that problem. For now, I would rather install the exact version of LO via the terminal than use a PPA. That is just my opinion. For many, it is more convenient for the PPAs to do the work for them. So, when I decide to go from 4.2.5 to 4.3.x, I will install it myself. I have not tested 4.3.0.x on any system. I prefer to test it out on a system that is not my production and default one till the version is tested on a Win7 and/or Ubuntu-based boot of my laptop. In my opinion, PPA gives more freedom to install and upgrade, and not only makes installation easier in the system. This can be viewed in the direction apt-get, aptitude and Sinaptic for Deb-based OS. There are excellent articles on their use that enables having the maximum choice in their package system Congrats to the LibbreOffice Packaging team... however the average user on this list should *read* and understand the full contents of the 'PPA description' prior to adding to their sources.list. Examples: quote PPA description LibreOffice test builds and backports ... Most of the packages in this PPA have only experienced minor testing -- in fact it is the place to enable a wider audience to test packages before they are published into the distro proper. In general, this PPA is _not_ for the average user to install without a closer look (if it would be, its packages would be in the main repositories). OTOH, it is _way_ _better_ to use packages from this PPA than using the *.deb files that The Document Foundation provides upstream, which are intentionally build against a very old baseline for maximum compatibility. So, _if_ you want to be on the bleeding edge, do it here, not with upstream *.debs. /quote Also be aware that if you are using Ubuntu 12.04.x (Precise) the PPA contains a slew of additional packages which may, or may not, affect the standard released versions of those packages on your existing system.

If you call Stable to the patched branch (and calling it Patched doesn't sound very nice either) seems to imply that the other branch (now called Fresh) isn't stable in the sense that it will crash and be unusable... There was a proposal to call the (previously named Stable and now named Still) branch as Mature. But since that word is currently associated with some sexual preference/deviation, it was dropped in favor of Still. I search the discuss list to see if I could find where this proposal took place, but failed to find anything.

It is easy to criticize and find problems, but it is more difficult to find a nice word that everyone accepts... Perhaps even more so when there are monthly point releases and 6 month major release cycles. Do you have a better suggestion? Yes. Keep 'Stable' for the moment, or return to 'Recommended' for 4.2 and point out why on the download page as before. 4.3 is by definition for 'Early Adopters' https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:LibOReleaseLifecycle.png and should not IMO be the default on the download button.

[libreoffice-users] LO Draw crashes importing Microsoft Publisher file (ping Brennan/Fridrich/Valek?)
Recently I have been able to replicate crashes on linux LO versions 4.1.x- 4.2.x deb versions (32bit and 64bit) when attempting to open a 10MB Microsoft Publisher file. However, when I switch to the distro LO version 4.2.4 the .pub file(s) load up instantly. Unfortunately, the MS Publisher file contains private information so I cannot post that for testing and/or bug reporting. I've several stacktraces and crash details for both the 32bit and 64bit systems. Some details: Linux: ubuntu 14.04 (32 64 bit) 3.13.0-30-generic LO versions tried/tested: again 32 64 bit - 4.1.6.2, 4.2.4.1/2, 4.2.5.2. Distro Version: Ubuntu 4.2.4-0ubuntu2 Each time that I've tested the non-distro version (which I normally run instead of the distro version) o I do not have any LO distro version installed (purged, including config files o I have purged any other previous LO o I also have tested the same file on Windows versions of LO (4.1 and 4.2) do not experience the crash. o I was previously able to open the same file using older versions of LO (linux/deb), but can't recall which version as it has been some time since I tried the file. o I have not (yet) tested rpm packages (Fedora etc) to see if I get the same results. o I've searched bugs.freedesktop.org and can't find any related bug reports. So my question here, before I file a bug report is: has anyone else on this list experienced similar when attempting to open an MS Pub file (linux only please)?

I think the usual quickest answer is to just install the whole program. It's not large, unlike MS Office, and it's quite robust so you don't have to keep patching it. In the last 3-4 years there have been about 3 security issues and 2 of those were only potential possibilities and the other required the user to do a bunch of dumb things. New releases happen in order to add functionality so most of us happily stick with older versions. Probably best to go with stable-branch and get the 4.1.6. That 3rd digit is roughly equivalent to the Service Packs so the 6 means that branch has really matured. If the 4.2x has reached 4 then that is pretty rock-solid too in which case i'd grab that. Most of my machines are on 3.5.7 and i've long since stopped worrying about exactly which version is where because versions don't have all the incompatibilities and problems that spring up between different versions of MS Office.

Going into Format/Character I find that the Light option is listed under Calibri, but unfortunately Light Bold isn't listed so when I bold the Light font it ends up as the Regular Calibri Bold and not Light Bold that it should be. Apparently LO 4.1.3.2 tries to combine the two fonts into one family rather than keep them separate. The Mac Font Book also lists them as one family where in fact they are two families with a common base name. Somehow LO 4.0.5 keeps them separate, but 4.1.3.2 doesn't.

In 4.1.3.2 I can make the Calibri Light work using the Format/Character menus, but cannot any way get Calibri Light Bold to work as it isn't listed anywhere.

I am not sure if any of the previous version are affected or if only the current release is affected. The primary concern is Java applets run by your browser. The vulnerability allows a zero-day browser exploit that as yet is not patched by Oracle. The primary concerns I have heard of are installation of keyloggers and installation of ransomware. I would assume the malware will use the JVM to run and would be cross platform. AFAIK, Oracle has not yet announced when a patch will be available. As I mentioned in another note, I'm running OpenJDK, not Oracle Java. So the question becomes is it a problem in general with Java or just Oracle's. It is an OpenJDK problem as well. I've just posted this on the Mozilla SeaMonkey user support nntp group: Given the Zero-Day Java 7 vulnerabilities (see Paul B Gallagher's thread: 'Java 7u10 vulnerability in browsers' and for those using OpenJDK Icedtea for Java JRE: Security releases for OpenJDK and Icedtea were released yesterday (Tues Jan 17). http://blog.fuseyism.com/index.php/2013/01/15/security-icedtea-2-1-4-2-2-4-2-3-4-released/ http://blog.fuseyism.com/index.php/2013/01/16/security-and-browser-plugins/ This confirms that OpenJDK7 and IcedTea7 were vulnerable - of course I reckon that it will take awhile for the builds to get pushed to the distro's. Note that OpenJDK 6 is not affected.. So if you are using OpenJDK7 I'd recommend installing OpenJDK6 (you can leave OpenJDK7 installed[1]), and then using update-alternatives to set OpenJDK6 as the system JRE. For Debian/Ubuntu users: $ sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre $ sudo apt-get install icedtea6-plugin $ sudo update-alternatives --config java $ sudo update-alternatives --config mozilla-javaplugin.so Ensure that you are using OpenJDK6 instead of OpenJDK7. Example: ~$ java -version java version 1.6.0_24 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.5) (6b24-1.11.5-0ubuntu1~12.04.1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode) If you enable Java in SeaMonkey (I recommend using Prefbar to turn Java on/off), the IcedTead plugin (Ubuntu in this example) in about:config will show: IcedTea-Web Plugin (using IcedTea-Web 1.2 (1.2-2ubuntu1.3)) File: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so Version: The IcedTea-Web Plugin executes Java applets. I'd also check your LibreOffice/ApacheOO installs select OpenJDK6: Tools|Options|Java| select 'Sun Microsystems, Inc. 1.6.0_24 Note: I do not know of the current zero-day vulnerablity affecting LibreOffice/ApacheOO - but to be cautious I revert to OpenJDK6.

What I need is a way of getting LO and/or OO to print the labels correctly on the page. I admit that having to use a PDF printer (CutePDF or Bullzip) complicates the issue. But it seems odd to me that I get different results between LO and OO, and between virtual printers. Reset your virtual PDF printer(s) for proper A4 settings. If on Windows I use PDFCreator: http://www.pdfforge.org/ I just tested PDFCreator, CutePDF, Acrobat Professional, LO (3.6.4.3) export to PDF, AOO (3.4.1) export to PDF (Windows linux for both). The A4/L7163 PDF's are identical. I even created a PDF from MS Word 2003 to Acrobat Professional - same results. However I did notice that printing from the PDF resulted in all labels shifted to the left by ~1/8inch/0.125in (0.31750cm). The issue had nothing to do with LO, AOO, Word, PDFCreator, CutePDF etc., the issue was that in Acrobat and Adobe Reader, I needed to: 1. Set Page Scaling to 'None' 2. Turn off (untick) 'Auto Rotate and Center 2. Turn on (tick) the 'Choose paper source by PDF size Once I did that, the printed PDF's exactly matched the print directly to printer copies. So my initial problem was PEBCK. As for LO: With LO I get the same from both printers: a correctly sized document. But the pitch is wrong: 9.2 by 3.6 cm instead of 9.9 by 3.8.

The .ott is L7163 compatible. Note: I see that it uses frames rather than tables, so my comment regarding tables was incorrect. Apologies.

The easiest way to test is to put borders on the frames then print a sample. Hold the sample up to a L7163 label sheet see if they match.

Click on the outline of the first frame, when selected right-click and select 'Frame', then Borders. Select the outline border (all four sides) print. and as far as I can see World Label only do US sizes (so why do they call themselves Word Label, then, or are the international sizes well buried on their web site?). They have recently had their website redone. My guess is that they've missed the A4 label section, as they do have a product code for the labels: WL-SG4663. http://www.worldlabel.com/Pages/labels.htm Do not see the label size you need?

This is not the case with the KDE file manager 'Dolphin'. Trying the same with 'Dolphin' results in LO opening one file, and the following error message for the second file: KDEInit could not launch 'libreoffice': Could not find 'libreoffice' executable.

They are exactly the same as my PDF - the text appears fine but if I copy and paste it then it looks like this: This his the offichial vershion. Cheers, Jonathan I just sent you two files; an AOO odt, and an AOO generated PDF. It is a font issue. I suspect that the non-problem with AOO that VA is seeing is because AOO does not natively pick up the LO TTF Linux Libertine G. It didn't even pick it up in ~/.fonts. Instead it will pick up a Type 1 Linux Libertine O font. I figured this out by looking at the PDF File|Properties|Font. I ended up specifically installing the G fonts in AOO 3.5.0; _that_ allowed me to use G TTF instead of O Type 1. Now, when using the G TTF font I experience the exact same issue as on LO. Moving the cursor from the 'T' to the 'h' in 'This' causes the cursor to skip directly to 'i'. Opening the TTF Linux Libertine G font in Fontforge generates these warnings: The following table(s) in the font have been ignored by FontForge Ignoring 'Feat' SIL Graphite layout feature table Ignoring 'Glat' Graphite glyph attribute table Ignoring 'Gloc' Graphite glyph location in Glat table Ignoring 'Silf' SIL Graphite rule table Ignoring 'Sill' (unspecified) SIL Graphite table The glyph named Tcommaaccent is mapped to U+021A.
