I posted the above to that bug, and asturm pointed out that  
GENTOO_MIRRORS in make.conf is responsible.  So, if you're retrieval  
of  the tarball fails because it can't find the dead site  
dev.gentooexperimental.com, take a look at your GENTOO_MIRRORS settings.

If you read through the bug you will find that it is addressed, at least 
indirectly.  See comment #4.

If you take a look at the libreoffice ebuild you will  find that the 
sci-mathematics/lpsolve dependency is not controlled by the nlpsolver USE flag. 
This means it depends on it unconditionally.
Only coimp is controllable via flag.
Whether this is correct or not is another issue.

Bug doesn't address it, but shouldn't using the alternate

[Jack]

I'm not sure where experimental anything is coming from.  Do you have 
some overlay set up? How recently have you synced?


I see libreoffice-7.2.5.2-r1 and lpsolve-5.5.2.0 as the only stable 
versions in the main portage tree, and both were re-installed within the 
past three days.

Java in LO is deprecated. Unfortunately, the old database they are
trying to upgrade from was written in Java, so actually moving forward
and dropping the Java dependency has turned out to be a rather bigger
job than planned ...

I use LO quite a lot; but it is a beast and they are constantly 
'tweaking' small details


SO, you are not alone. If you'll post and example download and a brief 
example guide to what use to work and what does not work now, I'll see 
if I can duplicate the problem. Here is my current LO setup:

As a rule I do not have java on my systems.  Before you go recompiling LO to 
take USE=java out, note that LO uses java for a number of plugins and without 
it they won't work.  For example, some of database plugins used in LO Base to 
open and edit SQL databases rely on java.  It's been years since I edited 
database tables with LO, so I have no use for it at present and this is why 
I've taken it out.  YMMV.

 I haven't looked into how LO works, but it may have something to do with 
 the
 tonne of JavaScript HTML pages contain these days and how this is 
 processed/
 filtered. When I try it here it works for small amounts of text/pics, but
 unlike your LO, I do not have java installed as a dependency.

Very true.  I always check when printing to pdf.  I've noticed in the
past that it sometimes leaves out things as well.  One thing about copy
and pasting it into LOo, if it's there in LOo then it's there when I
print.  I have had printing from a web browser leave out things tho. 

It's good info to have tho. 

Thanks.

One caveat when using print to pdf, you should immediately check the pdf, 
sometimes it only saves part of the page, not sure why, trying it again seems 
to usually work.

Now that helps a LOT.  It works just like it used to work.  Very fast
too.  It took maybe one to two seconds and it was done.  Everything is
there too.

It takes a long while to compile LOo but I'm going to try disabling java
just to see if that helps.  I'm not sure what all the page contains but
here's a link to the page I just tested this with.  It's not like it is
some super secret site or anything.

https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/waveforms/555-circuits-part-1.html

It looks like plain stuff to me but I have no idea what is going on
behind the scene.  Maybe some others will enjoy that site.  It has some
good info and they add stuff pretty regular. 

Thanks much.  It's a workaround but at least I can get them copied and
printed now.  ;-)

I haven't looked into how LO works, but it may have something to do with the 
tonne of JavaScript HTML pages contain these days and how this is processed/
filtered.  When I try it here it works for small amounts of text/pics, but 
unlike your LO, I do not have java installed as a dependency.

An alternative you could try is to save the page as HTML - File/Save Page As.  
Then select one of the options to save it as below, which when you open with 
LO does not take long to process.  If you select 'HTML page complete' it will 
save all JS and images in a separate folder, which you could delete 
thereafter, or repurpose as you see fit.

That may explain why a lot of pages work and others don't.  Some pages
may not contain things that LOo has trouble figuring out while other
pages have things that just plain doesn't work.  I'm trying to save a
page and opening it locally, assuming it will store the pics and such
locally as well.  Maybe that will also help LOo to load things up
correctly. 

I noticed something on a page I tried since I started this thread.  When
I scroll to something that isn't loaded, it starts to downloading
whatever is missing and freezes up.  Thing is, it downloads for a long
time but never actually fetches the pic that is missing.  If things are
broken from LOo's point of view as you point out, that may explain why
it is having trouble rendering the doc since it can't fetch some info on
certain pages. 

Let me try this and see if that helps.  You gave me a couple different
ways to test out.  I hadn't thought of doing it those ways.  It's extra
steps but once I get it, I got it for good. 

Thanks.

One important thing to remember is that when you copy/paste part of a

There are lots of things you probably didn't copy, many of which are  
not actually visible, such as css definitions, for example.  You may

Right, I've discovered it's the stable dev-db/mysql-connector-c++-1.1.9 which 
makes the difference, so without USE="mysql" or with a more recent version of 
mysql-connector-c++ the compilation succeeds.

It a pdf government form. Libreoffice has a whole bunch of graphics
boxes along the left hand side, so I guess those defaults are do
to how the (pdf) file creator set defaults. Gotta test on a blank
text from.

Testing a raw (newly created) text file does give a differnet list
of file save options.

(gasp) I guess I just gott bite the bullet and sink a couple hours into
this 6.x libreoffice.  I was back a few version on LO-5.x, just for this
reason.

thx for the help.

I don't seem to have anything special in my compile settings for

I don't know about a global list (and I've found some global flags that
could be used aren't used on some packages, leading to two flags that do
the same thing) but using `equery uses ` is usually detailed
enough to figure out what they do on a per-package basis.

Re: [gentoo-user] LibreOffice and openldap

[mad.scientist.at.large]

Several years ago i was using opensuse, I really like the way you could block 
dependencies so that in the future it would ask if you wanted to "break" an 
install by not installing the dependencies that you don't want to ever load, 
like zeroconfig/avahi, packages that i didn't need, or want and that are 
dangerous security wise.  

It seems to me that gentoo should behave the same way using the global flags,  
Isn't that the point of having 4 billion flags, more than any human could 
remember and keep track of.  Are they all documented somewhere, anywhere?  i've 
seen the official list, a bit sparse on just what they do and why you would 
want to use some of them.

Figured out the patch. I have attached it. It does not fix the ebuild, but it 
does make LibreOffice build without the LDAP plugin. This makes it possible to 
have optional LDAP support.

In the -bin package I think it would be possible to remove this dependency by 
removing the ldapbe2 files and fixing any generated plugin registry data.

Same here. I have global USE "-ldap -openldap" (shouldn't the latter be fixed 
in dev-libs/cyrus-sasl ?). There is no way to avoid OpenLDAP when LibreOffice 
is installed. On my system this is the only package calling for it.

app-office/libreoffice-6.0.5.2-r1 (net-nds/openldap)

I did find that LibreOffice has one file that needs it:

 $ readelf -d /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/libldapbe2lo.so

Dynamic section at offset 0xed10 contains 35 entries:
  TagType Name/Value
 0x0001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libldap-2.4.so.2]

This stands for LDAP backend (2), a plugin that does that. Seems to be loaded 
on demand at runtime (using the component registry), and otherwise should be 
removable but that would need a patch. Maybe it's just to remove this line 
prior to building?

Those are all kdepim packages, I run KDE without KMail and the only
package that depends on openldap is LO.

If you run a KDE desktop it's a lot more than LibreOffice:

$ equery d openldap
 * These packages depend on openldap:

kde-apps/kldap-17.12.3 (net-nds/openldap)

This is intuition, not knowledge, but /var/run is, I think, stuff that
should appear when you log in, and disappear when you log out.

Log out, log in as root (or su from another user) and see if
/var/run/user/1000 exists. Rename it to something else in case you need
the contents, and then see if libreoffice works.

If everything seems okay, get rid of the old version

(My system has multiple users, I'm the only person logged in, and folder
1000 (my user-id) is the only one there. I guess somehow some old file
has got "stuck" and needs deleting.)

Wol

The strange part is that on the same box I created a new "user" and
Libreoffice works just fine.
But it will not work when I log in.

I've deleted the folder setting. /home/joseph/.config/libreoffice/
and copied the same folder from new user directory back to my directory.
Libreofice still will not start.

Libreoffice sees the jre (in the internal dialog) and its selected but I

Yes, now check your make.conf entry, it seems you used the letter 'o' 
there, and not a zero. Fix that, and maybe your libreoffice will be in 
french again :)


It is a zero and not a o
But in make.conf I writed a new L10N
and I compiled app-office/libreoffice-l10n again
There was nomore -fr in it
And now I have libreoffice again in French.
Thank you for your answers :-)

It opens fine here without any obvious problem, using my LibreOffice 5.0.5.2

At first glance I'd say you enabled Smart quotes in libreoffice
sometime in the last 3 years, and it's now mangling apostrophes and
dashes into something clever.

Thanks for the pointer.  Wasn't it still Open Office back then ?
Perhaps when it changed to LibreOffice, default settings were altered.

There were basically  3  problems : (1) the elided dash was mangled,
so I told it not to elide  replaced all instances with '--' ;
(2) it was using some bizarre  ' , which was also getting mangled,
so I manually (with some search/replace) replaced all instances
with something which avoided the symbol, while expanding abbreviations.
After some work, I believe I've found them all,
but will wait till tomorrow before uploading it to the I/net.

The problem isn't a simple general setting, so it mb a LO bug,
but I don't have the time to take it up there.

Users are recommended to upgrade to 4.2.3 to avoid this flaw when using the

openssl.

However, we build from sources and use the system libraries.

Sure...

And if you choose to not rebuild things you end up putting a whole lot
of packages into @preserved-rebuild, which shows up *every* time
emerge completes. Well, I basically get over this by simply ignoring
them, but the length of @preserved-rebuild output usually forces me
into emerging it every 2 weeks or so.

And just consider how much CPU cycles are lost in frequent qtwebkit,

that. But chromium, that thing drive me to tears, now I just use
google-chrome.

I don't always need the latest icu - 7-bit ASCII satisfies all my daily
needs :-) So I can afford to mask anything after the current version and
just leave it as-is until it suits me to rebuild things.

Well, I choose to temporarily mask chromium if I don't have the time.
I have a /etc/portage/package.mask/11temp for (mainly) that (-:

I've switched yesterday from firefox to firefox-bin after some
mysterious crashes in the graphic backend (with HW acceleration force
enabled), only to find my compiler is not at fault... But the binary
version indeed fixed another bug, that's the page loading spinner
not animating, so I'd stick with that.

I don't have to use google-chrome because chromium is usually *still*
masked when I feel like upgrading, so it actually doesn't cost me much
time. In fact, I usually go to sleep right after starting emerge (-:

As a Chinese, living with Unicode support is a must. But since CJK
codepoints are well supported for ages, and most of Chinese users are
not researchers who need access to the latest glyphs or complex-layout
writing systems, we don't have to upgrade icu that often either.

Actually, AFAICT all my icu upgrades are forced on me by the version
bump of big things like chromium or libreoffice.

 I download LibreOffice_4.1.0_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz from

 How should I find out the problem?

Oh... upon further reading of your question it seems we're all misled
by your description.

Your real question is Why a GTK application won't pick up KDE's theme
settings, and the answer is it simply doesn't know about Qt in the
first place. I downloaded the archive you used and ldd'd all the
libraries, none seems to depend on Qt. Gentoo's libreoffice-bin
packages are build by Gentoo developers (I remember a blog post
explaining this), so they're different from the upstream provided
ones. I haven't used them, so I can't say if they would help, but it's
certain that the official builds does NOT support Qt widgets.

Solution: Install oxygen-gtk for Oxygen-looking GTK2 widgets.

Why are you downloading LibreOffice and extracting it manually?

There are 2 ebuilds for it in the tree: libreoffice and libreoffice-bin.

Use those instead, they work properly.

libreoffice-bin (at this time only 4.0.4.2 is present) requests
icu/51.1, while the latest is slotted 51.2. I don't know of any
package that specifically asks for such a new version of icu; a quick
equery on my system shows this:

equery depends icu
 * These packages depend on icu:
app-i18n/fcitx-4.2.8.1 (icu ? dev-libs/icu)
app-office/libreoffice-4.1.0.4 (=dev-libs/icu-4.8.1.1)
app-text/libmspub-0.0.6 (dev-libs/icu)
app-text/texlive-core-2013 (xetex ? =dev-libs/icu-50)
dev-db/sqlite-3.7.17 (icu ? dev-libs/icu)
dev-lang/php-5.4.18 (intl ? dev-libs/icu)
dev-lang/php-5.5.1-r1 (intl ? dev-libs/icu)
dev-libs/boost-1.53.0 (icu ? =dev-libs/icu-3.6)
dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.1-r1 (icu ? dev-libs/icu)
dev-qt/qtcore-4.8.5 (icu ? =dev-libs/icu-49)
dev-qt/qtwebkit-4.8.5 (icu ? dev-libs/icu)
dev-tex/bibtexu-3.71_p20130530 (=dev-libs/icu-4.4)
media-libs/harfbuzz-0.9.18-r1 (icu ? dev-libs/icu)
media-libs/libcdr-0.0.14 (dev-libs/icu)
media-libs/libvisio-0.0.30 (dev-libs/icu)
media-libs/raptor-2.0.9 (unicode ? dev-libs/icu)
net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.8.3-r201 (=dev-libs/icu-3.8.1-r1)
net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.0.4 (=dev-libs/icu-3.8.1-r1)
net-nds/openldap-2.4.35 (icu ? dev-libs/icu)
sys-apps/gptfdisk-0.8.6 (icu ? dev-libs/icu)
(icu ? dev-libs/icu[static-libs(+)])
www-client/chromium-29.0.1547.41 (=dev-libs/icu-49.1.1-r1)

So at least nothing installed on my system requires a recent icu to
run. Thus, you shouldn't have problems setting up libreoffice-bin; if
you indeed have to stick with the latest icu, share with us your
specific setup and we'll be glad to help.

Re: [gentoo-user] Libreoffice Compile

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is possible from what I've read to cross
compile using distcc.
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/cross-compiling-distcc.xml seems to describe
this in detail, though the article is nearly 7 years old. I would prefer
this over a one shot package install since you could offload ALL of your
compiles. I have no personal experience with distcc and it may be more of a
headache than it is worth. I just know it was one of the options I looked
at for a similar issue.

First, before I respond, please do not top-post. If Gmail's web-based
client makes not top-posting hard then please rather use a different client.

distcc is designed to do the same compile over many machines. By design,
they all run on the same compiler settings. You do not have this
scenario. You need to build on a P4 for Atom. That is not distcc, it is
cross-compile - which is a mission to set up properly. If you are
building for ARM then it is worth it. But for one package, and only
because the Atom builds slow? I doubt it's worth it.

Thus, I recommended you simply install libreoffice-bin

Re: [gentoo-user] Libreoffice Compile

Why not use libreoffice-bin? Or if you really want to compile from source,
look at distcc, as long as the processor is in the same family it should be
a straightforward configuration.

Oh, and also the USE flags.

If you have enough diskspace, you can  have a chroot'd copy of the
netbook in your desktop, and emerge everything with --buildpkg and
copy the binaries to your netbook. I did that with a very old K6 that
I used as firewall, DHCP server, torrent server, NTP server, etc.,
before wireless modems were powerful enough, like twelve years ago.

No I don't have that installed. I thought that the gstreamer USE flag in 
libreoffice would take care of all gstreamer dependencies. Also I don't 
use libreoffice-bin. I have been emerging libreoffice. Will emerge the

Add a brand new user and try in the new environment in case its a
problem with the existing desktop environment.

There are just too many variables in this sort of vague doesn't work
scenario so all you can do is start eliminating outside
influences/suspects.  Seems no one else has jumped in saying they suffer
from this too so its something unique to you - I am using 3.5.2 (just

Also, just in case you used an existing document, try with something new
and created by yourself just to test this.

Is it just down to the CPU or are you running /var/tmp/portage on some turbo-
charged fs?

Just plain old ext2. Laptops tend to have slower IO whereas I'm using
RAID1 on SATA3 hardware. Plus it is a newer CPU.

IO does really slow down the compilation progress a lot. Having PORTAGE_TMPDIR 
on tmpfs saves about half an hour (compared to reiserfs on a 7200rpm disk) for 
me :

With 4GB Ram thats not an option for you though...

My /var partition is on ext4.

My CPU is admittedly slower, but even so I wouldn't think that it would take 
more than _twice_ as long as Neil's.

I would be curious to see the results of compiling libreoffice with
PORTAGE_TMPDIR on btrfs with compress=lzo.

 Grudgingly, because that would install another 44 packages,
 i have reemerged libreoffice, but pressing F1 still doesn't call 'Help'.

I removed Java from my machine a few months ago
 lack of internal help for LO was the only thing which disappeared.
My solution was to download the LO help files from their site (PDFs),
which are actually easier to read + search than the internal help.

 Hi all,

 I upgraded to libreoffice-bin-3.4.5.2 which is stable in portage, but it
 does'nt work on intel ie7 amd64.
 I get instruction not permitted.
 So i masked 3.4.5.2 and downgraded to 3.3.4.

 Any idea ?

 Thank you,

It didn't work for me as well :|
I ended up compiling libreoffice-3.5 (took about 4h).

It seems like it was compiled using CFLAGS unsuitable for an i7.

Why not use the source package? What's the point of having an i7 if you
can't brag about compiling LO in well under an hour? ;-)
