Priority: medium
Bug ID: 59007
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Cannot open document files from browser
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.6.2.2 release
Component: Libreoffice
Product: LibreOffice
I have a workaround, so the solution I would request is to modify the installer
to prevent this error.
When I double click,or select/rightclick>>open a .doc file, a message appeared
stating there is no application for this file type and giving options to
search/install from internet. However, I can open by starting libreoffice then
opening the file from the menus.
I have traced the problem to here:
the relevant entry in /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache was:
application/msword=kde4-words.desktop;
It should read "kde4/words.desktop" i.e. point to a file within subdir kde4;
there is no file kde4-words.desktop.
and,probably a related error:
words.desktop has not been modified to make libreoffice the default app for
files of this type (although might be capable of modification from GUI now that
libreoffice can be opened from the browser). It remains as Calligra (native to
fedora17).
There is no command to start libreoffice unless an alias is created, so, for
now, the command is /opt/libreoffice3.6/program/swriter, so the relevant line
in words.desktop is: Exec=/opt/libreoffice3.6/program/swriter %u
(Version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: da8c1e6))
