Thanks Stephan, but I don't understand why this appears in the only just
released LO 7.3.3.2 when the bug report suggests that Caolán's patch is
targeted at 7.4.

Additionally, why would a password be required for a new, never
previously saved document/spreadsheet/presentation/drawing?

Thanks for the reply. I have LibreOffice 7.2.7.2 version as

LibreOffice 7.3.4.2 downloaded from libreoffice.

With both I have tried a simple saved file with the word
test in it. File is saved. Have Tools / Options / Internet /
Email set to /usr/bin/WSENDTO (Thou I did also try using
the direct path to program as well.).

/usr/bin/WSENDTO has this.
#!/bin/bash
echo $0 $1 $2 $3
/home/msetzerii/.wine/drive_c/PMAIL/Programs/WSENDT
O.EXE $1

Strange thing is that absolutely nothing happens. No box
opens, and nothing in way of a error message is showing
up.. But with my simple macro - running it opens the
email client and has the document attached with no
problem...


LO doesn't actually call /usr/bin/WSENDTO with the document's pathname 
as an argument (as one might expect).  What rather happens, for better 
or worse (see CmdMailSuppl::sendSimpleMailMessage at 
), 
is that LO calls its senddoc helper script (see 
) 
with lots of arguments, among them `--mailclient` `/usr/bin/WSENDTO`.


And that senddoc script then tries to guess from the given mail client's 
basename what program that is, and knows how to pass it along all the 
other arguments, potentially specifying the mail's to, cc, body, 
attachment, etc.  But that senddoc script doesn't know anything about a 
mail client with basename WSENDTO, so gives up and tries something like 
xdg-email instead, but which apparently doesn't lead to any success with 
your setup, either.

What version of LibreOffice are you using, and what is the exact wording 
of the error message?  At least with recent versions of LibreOffice, the 
wording of the error message when clicking the link should be: 
"'file://abc.xyz/' cannot be passed to an external application to open 
it (e.g., it might not be an absolute URL, or might denote no existing 
file)."


And note that  is not a relative URL, it is an absolute 
file URL with an "abc.xyz" authority, which is interpreted by 
LibreOffice at least on Windows to denote the root directory of some 
(most likely non-existing) abc.xyz UNC share.

/usr/bin/libreoffice is a symlink I add so I can use a keyboard
shortcut to run writer or calc without having to change the shortcut
everytime a new major release comes out.

Like so:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Sep  3 14:55 /usr/bin/libreoffice ->
/usr/bin/libreoffice7.0*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Feb 28  2020 /usr/bin/libreoffice6.4 ->
/opt/libreoffice6.4/program/soffice*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Sep  3 14:57 /usr/bin/libreoffice7.0 ->
/opt/libreoffice7.0/program/soffice*

I trust you are not saying that using a symlink will break something
in the binaries - that would be tragic.


soffice is a shell script that tries to determine its location in the 
file system, so that it can call other executables like oosplash and 
javaldx next to itself.  See the section labelled with a "resolve 
installation directory" comment determining the sd_prog variable, which 
shall resolve to the actual directory containing the soffice shell 
script, with any symlinks resolved.


The "double symlink" scenario you outline above works e.g. fine for me 
on Fedora 32.  You need to debug into that shell script code to see why 
it breaks for you.

So the answer to my question seems to be

css.util.XReplaceDescriptor is derived from css.util.XSearchDescriptor. 
I assume that what dim'ing you need should depend on what you do with 
oDescriptor in the part you elided:  If you only call 
XSearchDescriptor-methods on it, then dim as XSearchDescriptor should 
suffice.  If you call any of the XReplaceDescriptor-only methods 
(getting/setting the ReplaceString), then you need to dim as 
XReplaceDescriptor.


Turns out I assumed wrongly there about how LO Basic behaves.  In the 
true spirit of dynamically typed languages, you can apparently call any 
method actually supported by the object, regardless of the "dim as" type 
of the variable that holds the object.  (Only when assigning the object 
to the variable are types checked to match---and were checked in an 
inferior way, see my other mail announcing a fix.)

css.util.XReplaceDescriptor is derived from css.util.XSearchDescriptor.
I assume that what dim'ing you need should depend on what you do with
oDescriptor in the part you elided:  If you only call
XSearchDescriptor-methods on it, then dim as XSearchDescriptor should
suffice.  If you call any of the XReplaceDescriptor-only methods
(getting/setting the ReplaceString), then you need to dim as
XReplaceDescriptor.


But in that case, why did the error message happen at the
”oDescriptor=oRange.createSearchDescriptor()” line? I hadn't started to use
it yet…


So what /is/ the exact error message?

When using the experimental features in Basic I can declare thing in a more
specific way, for instance:

*Dim SomeSheet As com.sun.star.sheet.XSpreadsheet*
Without the experimental features enabled, I had to write this instead:
*Dim SomeSheet As Object*

Is there a way to find out for sure what type some object is supposed to be?
For instance, if I use Object instead and then look at it with XRay, in the
field just above the big field with all the
properties/methods/services/etc, it says *com.sun.star.sheet.XSpreadsheet*,
so that could be a clue, but it doesn't seem to always be usable.
For instance, when declaring a range, XRay says
*com.sun.star.table.XCellRange*, but declaring it like that won't work.
*com.sun.star.sheet.XSheetCellRange* will. How can I figure this out?


(I have no idea what information that XRay tool prints, but:)  A UNO 
object can implement multiple unrelated interfaces, and those interfaces 
in turn can each derive from (multiple) other interfaces.  If you look 
at the UNO API documentation 
(, or the udkapi 
and offapi modules in the core git source repo), you see that 
css.sheet.XSheetCellRange is derived from css.table.XCellRange.  The 
former adds one additional method, getSpreadsheet, so if you want to 
call that method you need to dim your var as the former, otherwise it 
suffices to dim it as the latter.



At the moment I'm struggling with a search descriptor. XRay says
*com.sun.star.util.XSearchDescriptor*, but that only throws an error at
*SomeRange.createSearchDescriptor()*.


If you search for "createSearchDescriptor", there's css.util.XSearchable 
that has a method of that name, so you probably have an object at hand 
that implements that interface, and to hold that object you need a var 
that is dim'ed accordingly.

docs

Datum:  Thu, 3 Jan 2019 12:08:55 -0500
Von:Sean 
An: users@global.libreoffice.org



Hi, I just joined the list.  I'm a Linux system admin with (among
other things) about 20 CentOS 7.6 desktops under my wing.  Yesterday I
posted a question to the ASK site [1], because one of my users had
issues with password-protected docs after getting his new laptop.  I
now have confirmed that this issue is related to our desktops being
FIPS enabled ( kernel/grub2 with fips=1 ).

I joined the list to further this discussion and determine if I should
file a bug report or what.  The gist of the problem is that when FIPS
is enabled, a user can encrypt a document, but not decrypt the
document, and LO reports that the password provided was incorrect.  I
am not very technical with how LO does password protection, but this
seems like an bug.  FIPS causes the system to disable non-compliant
ciphers and algorithms, but I'm guessing that there is some piece of
code that's calling a non-compliant function only on decrypt, and not
on encrypt...or (less likely) the encrypt side isn't throwing an error
when it should.


I assume you are talking about encrypted ODF 1.0/1.1 documents (and not, 
say, PDF or some Microsoft-format documents).  ODF 1.0/1.1 used Blowfish 
for encryption, which is not sanctioned by FIPS mode, so trying to open 
such a document will indeed fail (with a somewhat unhelpful UI, claiming 
that any entered password is wrong).  That LO allows saving such an 
encrypted document would appear to be a bug with that version of LO.


Note that LO recently gained support to forward some of its 
cipher-related operations to OpenSSL, see 
 
"rhbz#1618703: Allow to use OpenSSL as backend for rtl/cipher.h".  In a 
recent LO built with --enable-cipher-openssl-backend, trying to save an 
encrypted ODF 1.0/1.1 document should indeed fail (see 
 
"Related rhbz#1618703: Properly handle failure encoding zip file").


There is also some vague plans to allow decryption of existing documents 
even in FIPS mode, and to improve the UI in cases of failure caused by 
FIPS mode, but nothing implemented as of now.  I don't think there's 
tracker bugs for that already at ; 
you could file such if you like (and please report back the ID(s) here).

Usually, protected means the member is only accessible from within a derived

UNOIDL does not have such a public/protected/private concept.

However, the documentation at

Doxygen, that is also used to generate documentation for other languages 
besides UNOIDL (like C++ and Java).


Michael (on CC) extended Doxygen to also support UNOIDL.  Looks like 
there is a bug somewhere that causes the generated output to mention 
"public" or "protected" where they don't make sense.

The current settings/std.mk recipe includes each required file from the
same directory, one by one, but omits this one. Just adding all the
files from that dir (which are all needed to be in the jar file) is
better (will catch any additions/ removals in future versions
automatically).

Here's the git diff patch which makes things work properly:

diff --git a/settings/std.mk b/settings/std.mk

If you need a different format, for this or future patches,
please let me know.

NOTE: Currently I'm just working in a local lo sdk directory created
from the distribution tar file. I intend to clone a full sdk repo when I
have adequate network access to do so. IN OTHER WORDS, the git hashes
above are most likely incorrect/ not related to the actual repo - please
tell me how to create a "repo neutral" patch.


Yeah, your fix looks much better indeed.  Please see 
 for how to send 
a patch for review.

[libreoffice-users] Removed undocumented perftune.ini

[Stephan Bergmann]

FYI, 
: 
 "Support was removed for the undocumented perftune.ini flags 
FastPipeCommunication (core commit 
f8f87780f5f7be5ff185b0b8b3206d760d9dfed6) and 
QuickstartPreloadConfiguration (core commit 
d3084fb2442b9584b46fba743158c3fe46defa81)."


I assume nobody using LibreOffice was relying on those undocumented 
features that were added to OpenOffice.org/StarOffice back in the day.

The presented error message should become less misleading in LO 5.2 with 
 
"Improve error message when URL cannot be opened externally".


Editing an existing hyperlink works via "Insert - Hyperlink" when you 
have the hyperlink selected (which is often easier to do with the

 "Impress:

In fact Firefox is set as default and doing a command click on a link

From looking at the code (shell/source/unix/exec/shellexec.cxx,

misleadingly be presented also when a browser /is/ found, but something 
else goes wrong when trying to open the hyperlink with the browser.


Marc, what is the hyerlink's exact URL?  (In Impress, select the

Hm, that's rather odd.

For one, this crash is during "clean" termination of the soffice.bin 
process, i.e., at a time when your external code should no longer 
communicate with the soffice.bin process anyway.  (Or is your external 
code designed in a way that it might call 
com.sun.star.frame.XDesktop.terminate while some printing activity is 
still in progress?)


For another, I see no way how 
com::sun::star::ucb::UniversalContentBroker::create could throw an 
exception there during shutdown.  It should already have been called 
during initialization, from Desktop::Main -> Desktop::RegisterServices 
-> configureUcb, and if that had already failed with an exception, that 
would have caused a call to FatalError, which immediately terminates the 
process via _exit.


Are you sure that that crash dump correlates to a "Binary URP bridge 
disposed during call" exception in your client, or could it be from a 
"harmless" crash of an soffice.bin instance after your client code had 
already disconnected (so might normally go rather unnoticed, except for 
leaving behind a crash dump)?

That exception typically indicates that LO's soffice.bin process

No, unfortunately, you don't get the choice irrespective of whether or
not you use Base. There are hooks in at least the Writer module that
require Java instantiation, and possibly also a bundled extension which
requires a Java environment to be detected (NLPSolver) for Calc.


There are no hooks in the Writer module that require Java per se.  There 
are hooks in various places that extensions written in Java could tap into.


AFAICS, the only bundled extension coming with stock LO 5.1 for Mac that 
is written in Java is the NLPSolver, but it should not require Java to 
be available during start of LO, only when trying to use that feature.


But one can have (non-bundled) extensions installed from previous 
versions of LO that require Java, even so that they require Java 
directly at (first) start of LO 5.1.

e.g. here: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Programming



That is helpcontent2/source/text/shared/main0600.xhp


And that line is in there ever since 
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/help/commit/?id=4f48bcc7937fbc586af7720d4225768ee6913e2a> 
"#i33146# Initial checkin," which confirms my assumption that it is a 
dead, historic remark.



Best would be to remove it. But I don't have looked which bookmarks and
index entries have to be changed then. At least the section
'id="basicalt"' has to be removed totally. The current one is in
helpcontent2/source/text/sbasic/shared/main0601.xhp.

Please write a bug report.


So I'll leave it to others who are knowledgeable about helpcontent2 to 
get this fixed.

If I knew C++ in large projects better, I would dare to look at

I fear there's no way around somebody interested in this topic picking 
this up, reading the source code and writing documentation for the

My little Java program uses Libreoffice's (Openoffice's) API named UNO

Under Ubuntu Linux, the Java programs runs in a 64-Bit Java Virtual
Machine (JVM) and happily talks via UNO to Libreoffice 64-Bit to use
some Libreoffice functions.

However under Windows (64-Bit) with a Libreoffice 64-Bit installation,
when I use a 64-Bit JVM to run the same Java program, it results in a
Libreoffice error message (i.e. it's not a Java-UNO error) saying
something like:

occurred.

(Freely translated from my localised error message which is:
„Libreoffice 5.0 : Die Anwendung kann nicht gestartet werden. Ein

So under Windows I've to fall back to a 32-Bit JVM and a Libreoffice
32-Bit installation. Then I can use the very same Java program in a
32-Bit JVM to talk with Libreoffice 32-Bit.

However, I'd very much like to use a 64-Bit JVM under Windows, too. Is
this possible somehow with the new Libreoffice 64-Bit for Windows?


It should work.  My best bet would be to use the Depends tool to trace 
execution of your Java program and the processes spawned from it, and 
see whether there is anything going wrong at the DLL-finding level that 
causes the spawned soffice.bin to fail.

Yes, it is by design that LO 5 keeps using ~/.config/libreoffice/4. 
This time, there were no technical reasons to not keep using any 
existing user directory, so we decided to simply avoid any problems 
inherent in the otherwise necessary automatic migration from a 
libreoffice/4 to a libreoffice/5 directory.  (Even if the unfortunate

Seems like a better option would have been to just rename the directory?

Also, the bit-ness of the installed Java needs to match the bit-ness

LO needs a 64-bit Java.  (Independent of the OS being 64-bit.)

Alex, who filed several comments on this with Bug 80680 (and probably others) 
relating to this issue.


  Installing LO 4.5 is not easy, because it’s still in the early stages of development.  
I finally found in from the LO Dowloands Page - Download: Development versions - Nightly 
Builds:  Access the Nightly builds server here - Master - MacOSX-10.10@61/ - 
2015-02-05 00:36:56 (most recent date) - *_x86-64.dmg.


  Before installing LO 4.5, I tried 4.3.4.1, 4.3.6.1, and 4.4.0.2, all 
of which failed under OS X 10.10.1.  I started with 4.3.4.1, because that 
version worked for me under Windows 7.  Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me 
under OS X.


The fix for https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80370 
Other: Crash when opening solver will be included in 4.4.1 and 4.3.7 
(though we'll likely miss 4.3.6).

Where did you get that idea from?  The location of the user profile is 
solely determined by the value of the UserInstallation= line in 
LibreOffice.app/Contents/Resource/bootstraprc (formerly 
LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/boostraprc; where $SYSUSERCONFIG denotes 
the ~/Library/Application Support/ directory).  It is completely 
oblivious to any renaming of the LibreOffice.app.


A way to have multiple versions of LO installed independently is to 
hard-code different UserInstallation= values into the bootstraprcs of at 
least all but one installations.  (These values need to be file URLs, so 
either keep them starting with $SYSUSERCONFIG, which expands to a file 
URL, or use file:///... notation.)  These versions can then even be run 
concurrently.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO and Java 8u25 - SOLVED

[Stephan Bergmann]

On 10/28/2014 01:06 PM, Alain Andrieux wrote:

Actually, installing JavaForOSX2014-001.dmg” is exactly what I don’t want to 
do, for it would be polluting a fresh, clean system with a library being 4 versions 
old (Apple stop providing Java with OS X 10.6).

But…

Giving it a second thought showed that there is 2 available builds for OS X 
(both of version 4.3.2.2):

The second one, labelled “Mac OS X (x86_64 10.8 or newer required”, does the 
trick and recognises Java 8u25 as valid. Although we still get this nasty alert 
saying we should install Java…


Two things to note:

Any JREs that LO shows on Preferences' LibreOffice - Advanced pane 
must match the bitness of the given LO.  So if you run a 32-bit LO it 
will only show 32-bit--capable JREs.  The Apple Java 6 is 
32-bit--capable, while the Orcale Java 8 is 64-bit--only.


If LO wants to actually use a JRE's JVM (for other purposes than 
detecting which JREs to show on the Preferences pane above), it does so 
via the JNI Invocation API.  Oracle's Java 7 and 8 for Mac OS X have a 
bug that causes any process using that functionality to exit abruptly 
unless the Apple Java 6 is also installed (see 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74877 OS X 10.9: abrupt 
exit of LO in JNI_CreateJavaVM w/ Oracle Java 7 and w/o Apple Java 6 
for details; Oracle targeted a fix for that only for their Java 9).  For 
LO, that means that it can appear to suddenly crash as soon as it 
tries to instantiate a JVM and Apple's Java 6 is not installed.  And at 
what time LO will try to instantiate a JVM can be somewhat 
non-intuitive, e.g., it can happen as soon as you type something into 
Writer if you happen to have the Wiki Publisher extension installed (cf. 
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=1e54386411055b0049760faff2e1374a83191913 
'Official' TDF Mac builds are done w/o ext-wiki-publisher and links 
from there for details).

What exactly do you mean with save as read-only?


In windows: After the file is saved to some folder, go to that folder and
right-click (if you're right-handed) on the file name; choose Properties
and check off read only on the popup panel. SOP


So when you later unchecked read-only and reopened the file you 
changed the Windows file-system--level property again.  But how did you 
reopen the file, was it still open and did you chose Reload, or was it 
no longer open in LibreOffice in between?  Because, when a file is not 
marked as read-only at the file-system--level, it should not open as 
read-only in LibreOffice.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Java Error while updating Language Tool

Hi:

I'm using LibreOffice Writer Version: 4.1.3.2 Build ID:

I received a notification that an update was available for the Language

something, but the installation failed with the following message:

The extension will not be installed.

In Options: LibreOffice: Advanced, I show two Java Runtime Environments

(not selected): Oracle Corporation 1.7.0_25

What do I do? I don't want to break anything else that uses Java and
everything else seems to work.



​Here's your problem. It seems like the languagetool extension is built
against Java7 (which is the currently recommended version anyway), and your
installation of Libreoffice use Java6.
(for more informations, ​see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_class_file#General_layout, which gives a
helpful list of major version for java class files amongst other things).


And http://extensions.libreoffice.org/extension-center/languagetool 
states that version 2.3 of LanguageTool requires Java 7 now.  So it is 
likely that the code actually makes use of features only available in 
Java 7, and was not only by accident compiled without a --target=6 switch.


Though, of course, the rather cryptic error message when trying to 
install it is not optimal...

Re: [libreoffice-users] OSX Mavericks upgrade prevents LO from opening because of lack of java

It looks like the thread on addressing operating LO 4 under OSX

Yes, Java is a bit of a disaster on OSX, and yes once you upgrade Apple
blows away your java install so you have to start all over (but will
prompt you to install their java.)

Assuming you accept their invitation on reboot (the install will invite
you to install an Apple Java jre) and then try to run LO (4.1.2.3) you


Does the OS X upgrade itself indeed mention the possibility to download 
an Apple JRE?  I never noticed that.



will likely get an error message that allows you to either install a
java (the install does not say what it is installing, nor from where) or
quits.


What I know is the following:

After upgrade or fresh install of OS X (at least since 10.7, IIRC), a 
java executable is installed that is merely a stub, bringing up a dialog 
inviting you to download and install the real Apple JRE 6.


When LO is run on such a stub-only machine, as soon as it tries to 
detect a JRE (which might be rather sooner than expected, see the 
LibreOffice 4.1.2 and Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) thread on this mailing 
list), it will run the stub java executable and thus trigger the dialog.


Now, for some it reportedly works fine to download and install the Apple 
JRE via the dialog and continue working with LO (or even not download 
and install it, and keep living with LO nagging you about a missing 
JRE).  But for some LO reportedly keeps crashing from that dialog 
onwards, no matter how they interact with that dialog.  But I only know 
about that from here-say, and have never seen the problem myself, and 
never seen a backtrace of the crashing LO that could give us a clue 
what's going on there.


(I wasted my opportunity to find out for myself when soon after 
upgrading to OS X 10.9 I got confronted with the java stub dialog 
outside the LO context and downloaded/installed it before I came around 
to start LO.)


But since, as described in the LibreOffice 4.1.2 and Mac OS X 10.9 
(Mavericks) thread on this mailing list, one unexpected side-effect of 
bundling the Wiki Publisher extension with LO on Mac OS X is that LO 
tries to detect a JRE as soon as you type a key in Writer, we decided to 
deliver LO 4.1.3 for Mac OS X (from 
http://www.libreoffice.org/download) without a bundled Wiki Publisher 
extension.  That should help to somewhat mitigate the problem and have 
less people be annoyed by the problem.

Re: [libreoffice-users] OSX Maverick, Java, LO 4.1.2.3

I said to myself,  go ahead and let LO download something  what
could get worse?
Well,  now, instead of popping and telling me (inaccurately) that I
didn't have java,  it just crashes.
So,  is there a procedure to resolve this mess?


See my responses to the LibreOffice 4.1.2 and Mac OS X 10.9 
(Mavericks) and OSX Mavericks upgrade prevents LO from opening because 
of lack of java threads on this mailing list for details.


And note that, at least technically, it is not LO that displays the 
dialog inviting you to download and install Apple's JRE, so there's 
little we can do from the LO side without knowing why it keeps crashing 
for some.  When LO crashes for you, does it silently go away, or does it 
come back with LO's crash dialog (where it asks you to continue and 
recover any documents that had been open, if any), or does the generic 
OS X crash dialog (with Ignore, Reopen, Report buttons, IIRC) come up?


If the latter (the generic dialog), that would be great, because if you 
can still reproduce the crash, it would be helpful if you click Report 
and paste all the data here.

I have rebooted and the crash on opening  (the result of letting LO try

LO is now back to prompting for java (there is no access to LO itself)
Tried saying yes to LO's java install via Software Update again -- this
time it results in no change in behavior

Am I correct here in concluding that neither Apple nor Oracle offer a 32
bit java for Mavericks and that as a result users who have updated to
Mavericks will simply be barred from using LO henceforth until some
unspecified time in the future?


No.  The Apple-provided JRE 6 supports both 32 and 64 bit.


Anyone know of an office suite that works with Mavericks, lol


Note that there are cases where LO works on Mavericks just fine.  There 
are other cases where it reportedly doesn't, but without more specific 
data it is hard to tell why (at lest for somebody who never was able to 
reproduce the problem).



if the problem is only in extensions,  can one use the command line
unopkg to lost and delete the extension causing the problem?


Quoting what I wrote in the LibreOffice 4.1.2 and Mac OS X 10.9 
(Mavericks) thread on this mailing list:  So, one quick fix for people 
who are stuck with Writer keeping crashing would probably be to move 
away the wiki-publisher extension that is bundled in the LibreOffice 
installation.  To do that in Finder, first make sure LibreOffice is not 
running, then navigate to the LibreOffice (aka LibreOffice.app) 
application, from the right-click menu select 'Show Package Contents', 
there navigate from 'Contents' to 'share' to 'extensions' and move the 
'wiki-publisher' folder to the trash (or move it to some other place 
outside the 'extensions' folder).  Then create a new folder (with more 
or less arbitrary name, you can use 'Dummy') within the 'extensions' 
folder.  When you start LibreOffice again, the problem should be gone 
(it might show a 'LibreOffice quit unexpectedly' dialog once directly 
while starting, which is an unrelated problem and a different story, in 
which case just press the 'Reopen' button).
