Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 7.3 not working on Fedora 34??

Hi,

Yesterday, Downloaded and installed and it reports a
crash, but just gives option to submit it, but no details.
Come up in safe mode, but opening calc just drops to
command prompt.
Tried running with strace, and don't see anything that
looks like error.
Have the Fedora 34 regular latest version running fine,
and have the had 7.2.x versions up to 7.2.5 and both work
fine.
Thought perhaps having 7.2.5 and 7.3 caused issue, so
uninstalled both, and then reinstalled 7.3, but same
results.
Have uninstalled 7.3, and put the 7.2.5 back, and it is
working.
Only tested with Calc, so not sure if 7.3 had other items
working?
Don't know what it actual submitted with the error it
found, or if includes any way to contact me of issue?
Thanks.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Disable Mail Merge Toolbar

Hi,

Version: 7.1.3.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community

happening. Destroying my user profile seems to be the only option

Is anyone else here experiencing this issue, or found a solution to
persistently visible toolbars?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Collabora experience?

Hi,

Did you try to open the file from Collabora Office ?

Best regards.

Le 12/03/2021 à 11:32, Thomas Blasejewicz a écrit :

Good evening from Japan
The following is probably really stupid. Please bear with me for a moment.

About 3 weeks ago I got a smartphone - first time ever. I did use an older mobile phone 
before, but deliberately refused to learn how to operate that thing.

(I hate these mobile phones)

Well, I also use something like Dropbox, but supposedly more secure = pCloud (based in 
Switzerland)
(if someone should sign up there and tell those guys, I referred you (no idea how that 
works), maybe I get a GB extra space ... but I am not trying to do any sort of business here)

Most of the files in there are created with LibreOffice, plus some text files 
and PDFs.
This pCloud is available for Android, so I installed it. So far, so good.
LibreOffice, however, is NOT directly available for Android. Therefore I was referred to 
"Collabora". Installed that too.


Problem:
When I try to open ANY file (except PDF), I get messages telling me, the file (ALL files) 
are "read-only" and saving is diabled.

If I want to access any file, I have to
* make the file available offline
* choose to edit it
* choose a software to do so (here Collabora), EVERY time
-> if successful, I am again asked, whether I want to open a read-only file, or 
edit a copy.
* if I edit a copy, that will then be stored somewhere in the phone and NOT in one of the 
folders on pCloud.

That renders the whole idea of having files "in the cloud" useless, doen't it?

The pCloud support send me (partially) the following:
"You can open the pCloud files with all kinds of 3rd party apps but unfortunately, you can 
not save the changes in pCloud.
You'll probably need a paid version of LibreOffice in order to save the changes to pCloud 
so you have to download the edited files locally and upload to pCloud.

If you wish to edit files directly from pCloud, you can use Google Sheets."
And Google Sheets etc. is something I do NOT want to use.

BTW, the same thing happens when I use AIRSEND. (have not tried anything else)

Has anybody any experience with using LibreOffice = Collabora with an Android 
smartphone?
Is there maybe a trick?
If not, that is just fine. I consider working with this miniture machine a form of 
"digital torture" anyway.


Sorry for the trouble
Thomas

If not, what tricks do people use for making the mouse cursor easier to

You can show the cursor as a pen and use it to draw or write on the

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibO6.1 - no Quick-starter

Hi,

Le 10/08/2018 à 10:03, Andrew a écrit :

Hi all

Have just downloaded and installed LibreOffice Version: 6.1.0.3 for 
Linux Mint 19 ('Tara').


First off, thanks to all of the developers and team of geniuses who 
put this great piece of software together and keep pushing its quality 
to ever greater heights. As always, the new install works smoothly, 
and the new interface is looking great.


I did notice that there is no longer an option to enable the 
Quick-starter 


See 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.4#Feature_removal_.2F_deprecation


(in fact, there's now no longer any 'memory' menu option under 
'options' within which to enable the Quick-starter). I don't know if 
this is a feature or a bug from a development perspective, but from a 
user perspective, it is a bug: I used to use it all of the time and 
found myself missing it immediately.

Not a bug : https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110448

Insert → Field → More fields → Document: under Type select Date and then if

And if you use this functionality often, you can create an autotext with

Re: [libreoffice-users] Broken 6.0.1.1 installation

[Jean-Baptiste Faure]

Le 17/02/2018 à 05:07, Darrell a écrit :

I managed somehow to break LibreOffice 6.0.1.1 in a very strange way.
Background: I had installed 6.0.0.3 in parallel to the default LibreOffice 5
on Ubuntu Mate 17.10. When LO 6 became available from the Ubuntu repository
I uninstalled 6.0.0.3 and let the updater install 6.0.0.3 over the top of LO
5. The installation was subsequently upgraded to 6.0.1.1.

Now LO crashes if I start it and click on File->Open It also crashes
(and automatically restarts!) if I start it and click on File->Exit
LibreOffice. However, if I first open a file from the Recent Documents menu
OR let LO recover the untouched empty default document I can then open files
with File->Open... or exit without prompting a crash.

The error message simply says "Due to an unexpected error, LibreOffice
crashed." No clue as to the nature of the error. Anyone have any suggestions
as to how to fix this problem or where to look for further information?


Did you try to rename your LO profile ? It is in ~/.config/libreoffice

Problem fixed. But just how long should I expect for LO to build? I've 
seen estimates on the net of and hour or two on a less powerful

That does not depend only on your processor, but also on your mass 
storage device (HD or SSD), the use or not of ccache (for a second 
build) and the build options you have chosen (for example the number of 
parallel jobs). And probably on your OS too.


For me a complete build is about 2 hours with an i7 with 2 physical 
cores and an SSD, if I allow 2 parallel jobs to the build system. I use 
a Linux OS. On my previous PC it was about 4 hours with a HD and a i7 
from an older generation.

Re: [libreoffice-users] data point not distributed equally on charts with date on the X-axis

Obviously, Calc uses the date instead of date+hour to define the
category. Why, I do not know. But it's clear that in this case you do
not have true categories because you have only one value for each
category. In such cases you should use XY chart type instead of line,
because what you want to show is a function F(t).

If you really want use line chart + categories, it works if you replace
the formula in column B by:
=TEXT((A2/1000)/86400+25569;"JJ/MM/ HH:MM:SS")

Another point: you should use a secondary Y-axis to make state changes
visible.

It works since LO 3.3 and before that, since StarOffice 5. ;-)

That said,
- what do you do exactly to set the background color in a cell ?
- what is the format of your file, .ods or one of MSO ?
- Do you use cell styles in your spreadsheet, for example for
conditional formatting ?

Ok, but you do not do what you say. Current "Fresh" version is the third
bugfix of 5.0, aka 5.0.3. The fourth digit in the version number is the
release candidate number. Current 5.0.3 is 5.0.3.2 because its 2nd RC
has been declared stable enough to be final 5.0.3.

Current "Still" version is the 6th bugfix of 4.4, aka 4.4.6.

You should always install the _latest bugfix_ of the current
[Stable/Fresh] branch.
The current [Stable/Fresh] branch is [4.4/5.0] and its latest bugfix is
[4.4.6/5.0.3].
As you have already chosen the Stable branch, you should install 5.0.3

You should check if the problem is in LibreOffice itself or in its

with Unity or Gnome window manager, and try in this new session.

copypaste it in your text document. Grouping objects is very important.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Windows 7 - Very slow loading time spreadsheet

Hi,

 Hi, hoping someone can help me with this problem I'm facing.
 
 When opening a spreadsheet, it takes around 2m10 seconds for LibreOffice to
 open it.
 
 It's an old .ODS file created years ago with OpenOffice, not a big file,
 only 56 KB, nothing complicated in it, just a few functions like SUM,
 COUNTIF, etc. I never had any problem in both Linux/Windows. Now on a new
 computer with Windows 7 64 bit, I installed LibreOffice : Version 3.6.0.4
 (Build ID: 932b512) and it takes a long time to open it up. If I open a new
 spreadsheet it is fast, like 3 seconds, I can put some text in it, save it,
 open it, still fast, just my old spreadsheet that is very slow to open.

You should try with the second release candidate for LO 3.6.1 which is
now available and will be probably the final LO 3.6.1.
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/
 
 I deleted every sheets in it, created a new one, went into
 File-Properties, click the Reset button, close, save, re-open : still very
 slow. I disabled the real-time protection of MS Security Essentials : still
 very slow. For the 2m10 duration to open it, my CPU (Intel i5) is only at
 1-3% and soffice.bin consumes only 23 080k of memory (I have a total of 6
 GB).
 
 I'm attaching the file which is now only at 12 KB since I deleted all
 sheets.

Attached files are not allowed on this mailing-list. You should use
Nabble to be able to attach a file :

Did you read that : http://www.libreoffice.org/download/release-notes/ ?
Third note :
For Windows users that have LibreOffice prior to version 3.4.5
installed, either uninstall that beforehand, or upgrade to 3.4.5.
Otherwise, the upgrade to 3.5.0 may fail.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Quickstarter blocking LibO 3.5rc3 installer after removing OpenOffice.org

[Jean-Baptiste Faure]

Hi Fabián,

Le 06/02/2012 00:25, Fabián Rodríguez a écrit :
 A friend of mine is trying to remove OpenOffice.org and installing
 3.5rc3 in Windows.
 
 Unfortunately the installer is blocked by this error:
 
 http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/2945/img2012020500024.jpg
 
 Please exit LibreOffice 3.5 and the LibreOffice 3.5 Quickstarter before
 you continue. If you are using a multi-user system, also make sure that
 no other user has LibreOffice 3.5 open
 
 It obviously refers to the previous OpenOffice.org files remaining. I am
 not sure what version that was, I am asking more questions but meanwhile
 if there is an obvious workaround I'd like to have it.

Perhaps the same problem as fdo#45068 (see :

Re: [libreoffice-users] Illogical installer!

 Can anyone tell me the logic in this?
 If I download the English UK version, if I select Custom install, then
 ALL the language packs are disabled apart from English, yet all the
 dictionaries are ENABLED and I have to go through however many
 dictionaries there are and disable them one by one (unless anyone can
 tell me a better way!).
 Surely logic says that if all the language packs are disabled by default
 other than the one for the relevant download, then all the dictionaries
 should be as well?
 

You are right, known problem, but it seems that it is not so easy to do
with the current code which produces the installer.
As a workaround, you do not need to disable the unwanted dictionnaries
one by one. Firstly disable all dictionnaries in one click then click on
the + in front of dictionnary item to develop the list and enable only
the dictionnaries you want to install.

 Try FormatCharacterTab: Font Effects and under Effects select

  Small Capitals is not listed under FormatChange Case

 Thank you, Jay.  That works.  It's a little clumsy, but at least it can

 So I hope this is (a|the right) way to address my concerns.
 
 
 But what I'm missing in LibreOffice Calc (and I have to admit that
 MSOffice has this feature) to merge cells by using the context menu. At
 least for me it's so a common task to merge or split some cells that it
 is very annoying and time consuming to use the regular format menu at
 top of the window.

You can customize the format toolbar by adding the button you need.

 You're way beyond me.  I have no idea how to create a character style, or

Less short answer : F11 (Styles and Formating) - 2nd icon - dropdown

When your character style has been defined, select the string you want

Thanks. I just found that out because I installed the Final version which is
the same as RC2 i.e. Build 402

But it wouldn't kill the Devs if they used a naming system that made sense
to common users, would it?


Am I wrong if I guess you want to see RC1 or RC2 in the name of the 
version ?
I think it is not a good idea because the stable version is bit-for-bit 
identical to RC2. So having RC2 in the version name would be confusing 
for the stable version.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Default file save format to MSOffice (doc, xls, ppt) etc..

 Hi,
 I am migrating my company's pc to libreoffice on windows, all my users
 are using windows terminal services, now i want to set default file save

Bad idea. As MS-Office formats are foreign formats for LibreOffice, your
users wil have a less good user experience with LibO because you force
the software to make format conversions each time you open or save a
document.

I think other formats than ODF should be considered only as export
formats, like pdf is. Work in ODF, save in ODF and, if you have to send
your file, choose an export format accordingly to the usage of the file.
If receiver of the document does not need to modify the file, pdf is the
right format. If he needs to modify the document and is not able to work
with ODF (nobody is perfect), then you should export your document to
doc (MS-Office 97/2000/XP). But your ODF version should always be your
reference version.

 That is IMO a bad idea. If you need to send an editable file and you work on
 ODF, converting to Word at the last minute (i.e. before sending) is the
 WORST option possible. It is almost 100% guaranteed that the document
 (unless it's ONLY plain text) will NOT look the same.
 
 So if you know that the person receiving it needs Doc, the best option is to
 work on Doc from the start.

No, because you will have exactly the same problem: even if you save in
MS-Office formats, LibO use ODF as internal format, so you have a
conversion problem each time you save your file.

And it is not prohibited to be careful and check your converted file
before to send it.

On other hand if, during editing your document, you avoid the use of
manual formatting, use only predefined style (you can modify them
without problem) and do not use exotic fonts, then conversion problems
will be dramatically reduced.

Hi,

 Hi :)
 Hmm, that sounds weird.  Have you tried re-naming the config folder to force 
 LibreOffice to generate a new one?  You can find the path from
 Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Paths
 and it's something like
 ~/libreoffice/3/user
 You can use your normal file-browser.  In Windows i don't think you even need 
 to 
 be administrator or anything.  I tend to rename the 3 to a reverse date 
 format 
 such as 2011-09-06 so that LO creates a new 3.  The newly generated folder 
 will 
 get LO back to factory defaults.  If it works then you might want to copy 
 back 
 some of your extensions, galleries and things.  
 
 Regards from
 Tom :)
 

I confirm: I have the same strange problem with LibO 3.4.3 x86_84 under
Ubuntu (FR langpack).
Re-naming the config folder solved the problem.

I am pretty sure that this bug was not there when I installed LibO 3.4.3
rc2 for my QA tests. Strange.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libreoffice message footer

Le 30/07/2011 04:07, Cliff Scott a écrit :
 At the risk of starting another round of arguments regarding subscribing 
 unsubscribing I would like to point out that the information for
 unsubscribing in the footer of messages on this list is incorrect. I just
 changed my email address so I had to unsubscribe the old one and subscribe
 the new one. It all went without a hitch because I checked first at the
 get-help page on the Libreoffice.org website and found out that the correct
 unsubscribe address is users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org, NOT
 users+h...@global.libreoffice.org. 

Please read more carefully the text of the footer. It does not tell you
the address where to send a message to unsubscribe but the address where
to write to get the instructions how to unsubscribe. I guess this
indirect procedure is useful because you need to be informed that you
will have to answer to the confirmation request.

 Note that in OOo is works as expected. I verified that the DELETE key is
 set to Delete Contents in LO and is not set to anything in the Basic
 IDE. I did try setting this to Delete Contents in the Basic IDE, but it
 did not help.

 Hi Andrew

 Known bug : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37170
 Fixed in LibreOffice 3.4.1 rc1

 Excellent, thanks...
 
 I see that I need to deal with a new bug tracking system for LO...

Indeed :-)

Re: [libreoffice-users] RE: Negative time values

Hi,

 Hi Simon,
 
  
 
 Thanks for your answer.
 
  
 
 Strange, I did exactly what you said and still have the same problem. All
 fields are formatted as time HH:mm. Both with the standard formula
 (=Cell1-Cell2) and using the TIME function (=TIME(0,0,0)-TIME(2,0,0) I get
 22:00:00 as my output.

Try to format the result cell as number not as time.
Or choose this time format : [HH]:MM:SS (876613:37:46 in the time
formats list)

 Bonsoir,

 Mon projet est de faire des étiquettes (le moins possible) pour envoyer
 du courrier à tous les adhérents.

 Je suis presque débutant en SQL.
 Est-ce possible? 
 Je n'ai pas trouvé comment, même en essayant différentes jointures
 internes et externes sur les tables.

 Dois-je utiliser R ou S?
 Pour moi, le problème vient du fait que les deux noms doivent appartenir
 à un même ad, ce qui est logique, mais si j'ai bien compris, tu n'es
 pas allé jusqu'au bout de la normalisation de tes données. Normalement,
 cela se fait en séparant bien les deux attributs chacun dans une table
 dont l'id (dans ce cas, ad) serait lié et donc commun aux deux (dans
 deux tables distinctes). L'exemple de ta table R montre que tu n'a pas
 respecté cette normalisation puisque tu y as mis aussi bien des
 attributs ne que des attributs nm.

 Cela conduit, même avec une jointure interne sur R à ressortir
 plusieurs cas de figure qui ne correspondent pas, même si les bons y
 sont aussi, sauf à faire des exclusions, mais alors on rentre dans un
 schéma encore plus complexe avec des exceptions à n'en plus finir.

 A la limite, la seule table R suffirait si tu remplissais
 systématiquement le champ nm chaque fois qu'il y avait un nom de mari,
 sans en créer de nouvelle fiche à chaque fois. Mais tu découvrirais sans
 doute d'autres limitations par la suite, probablement les mêmes qui
 t'ont poussé à séparer la saisie des noms au départ.

 Peut-être que d'autres plus aguerris en SQL pourront trouver la
 solution, mais j'ai retourné la question dans plusieurs sens, et à
 chaque fois me retrouvais avec des réponses en trop ne correspondant
 visiblement pas à ce que tu veux.

 Alors, soit une table R, comportant :

 id | ad | ne | nm |
 ---
 1  | a  |  d |  e |
 2  | b  |  f ||
 3  | c  ||  g |

 et c'est celle-ci qui servirait directement pour la création d'étiquettes.

 Soit, une solution de 2 tables, disons S (membre) comme actuellement :

 id | ad |  n | s |
 ---
 1  | a  |  d |  f |
 2  | a  |  e |  m |
 3  | b  |  f |  f |
 4  | c  |  g |  m |


 et puis T (epoux) :

 id | ad | nm | s |
 ---
 1  | a  |  z |  f |
 2  | a  |  y |  m |
 3  | b  |  z |  f |
 4  | c  |  a |  m |



 Puis ta requête serait :

 SELECT S.ad as Adresse, S.n as Nom, T.nm as Mari from S,T where
 S.ad = T.ad

 I do not know any way to move a section. But you can do this:
In the Navigator you can choose three different modes when you drag an
objet. If you choose insert as copy you can create with the mouse a
copy of the misplaced section in another place. After that you can
delete the original section.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Chart Creation Problem

 I am having a problem getting a chart made out of two columns of data.

 I am using LibreOffice 3.3.1, OOO330m19 (Build:8), tag libreoffice-3.3.1.2 on 
 a Windows Vista SP2 HP laptop.  I have placed a link to the document in 
 Googledocs and I hope the link works

 https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AtKBPfLoamY7dHQtc2RwekRJZm5vNEtrSUpmLUFlcEEhl=enauthkey=CJLK7oEL

 I want the When column to be the X axis arranged from oldest on the left and 
 newest on the right and the Sugar numbers to be the Y axis.  I can not seem 
 to get an X axis.  The When column seems to want to be the Y axis and be 
 displayed on the vertical and horizontal axis.
Hi,

I can't see your file (no Google account and I do not want open one) but
I guess you have chosen chart type Line instead of XY (scatter).
