Re: [libreoffice-users] Some documents make libreoffice-writer crash
Hi :) Ok, so if you have created parallel installs of LibreOffice without using the guide then they might be interacting badly. I don't think it's that but it might be worth uninstalling the downloaded version and then reinstall it but following the parallel install guide this time. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel There is a chapter about bibliographies and such in the official guides. Chapter 12 in the Writer Guide https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Writer_Guide I don't think that is going to help either but it might be worth a quick flick through and perhaps skim read parts. Frequent crashing usually indicates a bad version of java. Java 6_21 seems to be the best for older versions of LibreOffice but i think you need the 7_3 (or around there, most recent is best). Unfortunately java gets compromised so fast nowadays that the last few versions haven't even been released before Oracle have had to start working on the next version. So it takes a bit of digging around on the Oracle website (or via java.com). I found these links through a quick googles search but i'm not sure they are the latest or best links http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-se-jdk-7-download-432154.html http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java7.xml On the wiki-page for documentation they have 3rd party documentation alongside early releases of official documentation and this section might be useful for attcking the problem from a programming perspective https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#Programmers Regards from Tom :) --- On Sun, 8/4/12, Jonathan Schultz jonat...@imatix.com wrote: From: Jonathan Schultz jonat...@imatix.com Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Some documents make libreoffice-writer crash To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Sunday, 8 April, 2012, 6:35 Unfortunately I'm still not out of the woods. The TDF version of LibreOffice isn't detected by bibus. Which means no bibliography, which is pretty much a deal-breaker. So I played with the debian/testing version again, and managed to get it to not crash with my file by deleting my user profile. Then I rebuilt the profile... and it started crashing again. And now if I start again with a virgin profile, it still crashes. I tried to look at the source for bibus (it's all in python) to work out how it detects whether Libre/Open-Office is present, but don't know enough about the LibreOffice API to know what I'm really looking for.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Some documents make libreoffice-writer crash
Hi :) There are likely to be differences between the official TDF version and any version in any distros repos because they tend to tweak them a little to fit in better. It doesn't usually make things go wonky but appears to have broken something for you this time. Noob-friendly gateway distros such as Ubuntu/Debian family are great for starting out with GnuLinux but once you get into tweaking things yourself you might enjoy giving Arch or Slackware a try. There are a lot of distros in between the 2 extremes. Slackware usually tries to do the least amount of tweaking for most packages but apparently Arch has better documentation to help set the whole thing up. If i went this route i would dual-boot with Ubuntu/Debian for a while by installing Arch or Slackware on a new partition. I don't think i would go this route at all tho. I prefer sticking with Ubuntu as articles appear in fairly mainstream media about it and i bump into people that are using it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Some documents make libreoffice-writer crash
I prefer to always use TDF's version of LO. Of course my version of Linux is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, so the repository tends to not get the most up-to-date version of the packages I use. I also am using 3.4.6 now. I am waiting for some issues to be resolved in the 3.5.x line that are show-stoppers for me. I ALWAYS have a working user profile in backup, for when my profile get corrupted by something. That tends to happen about every 6 months or so. As for Distros, well I like the GNOME desktop used by Ubuntu 10.xx. I have tried 11.xx classic GNOME options but I cannot get the panels on both the top and bottom of the desktop, like I really want/need them to be used for. Maybe when 12.04 LTS gets going, it would have what I need. I do not like the tablet style of desktop environments that seem to the the distros are going. I have had to have GNOME as my default desktop with KDE installed so I can use many of its system tools that work better for me than GNOME's version. So I use a combination of GNOME and KDE packages. Until I can get a modern distro to give me enough of what I need, I cannot switch. Actually, I use a dual boot laptop to test out Ubuntu's newest version to see if I can get it to do what I want/need.

The next two will display using the relative path from the perspective of the odb file. You can use the file picker (which I wish would just start in the last dir..arrgh) to select files from anywhere on the disk, if they are in the directory of the odb or a sub-dir then a relative path, where the base file directory is root Off to a supper, I'll come back and try to write a decent explanation of the basic lines, tonight. //drew On Sat, 2012-04-07 at 21:11 -0700, avamk wrote: Thanks for the link!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Some documents make libreoffice-writer crash
Hi, Thanks for all the feedback. The good news for me is that uninstalling then reinstalling libreoffice 3.4.6 from Debian/testing seems to have fixed things. Ok, so if you have created parallel installs of LibreOffice without using the guide then they might be interacting badly. I don't think that was the issue. In each ease I uninstalled libreoffice before reinstalling, whether from the TDF archives or the Debian repository. That said, there are a lot of packages to install and uninstall and I didn't pay attention to each of them. Frequent crashing usually indicates a bad version of java. Java 6_21 seems to be the best for older versions of LibreOffice but i think you need the 7_3 (or around there, most recent is best). Do you actually *need* Java? Or should I say, do I actually need Java to use libreoffice for my purposes. In any case, I don't think my crashes are related to Java because disabling Java in libreoffice settings never made any difference.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Some documents make libreoffice-writer crash
Hi :) Normally i wouldn't lump them together but you started it! lol. They are both in the same family so there are often similarities but as you point out they aim at different markets. Good luck with sorting the issue. I'm curious if just getting the latest java would fix it.

I know we all have our preferences for distros but I'm curious why you put Ubuntu and Debian in the same basket. Apart from the fact that Ubuntu is built on Debian they seem to be quite different and aimed at quite different users. I recommend Ubuntu to friends and family who don't have the patience, motivation or experience to set things up manually. I use Debian and tweak it extensively. I like the fact that it's almost identical on i386 and arm architectures, the quality control is very high, and knowing it well helps me when I am called upon to fix broken Ubuntu installations. I guess the attention to quality control and integration is why the Debian distro managers tend to tweak the upstream packages. Occasionally I download a package from an upstream distributor (like now!) but it rarely gives me much satisfaction. Anyway about to investigate further what's breaking libreoffice for me. Cheers, Jonathan There are a lot of distros in between the 2 extremes. Slackware usually tries to do the least amount of tweaking for most packages but apparently Arch has better documentation to help set the whole thing up. If i went this route i would dual-boot with Ubuntu/Debian for a while by installing Arch or Slackware on a new partition. I don't think i would go this route at all tho. I prefer sticking with Ubuntu as articles appear in fairly mainstream media about it and i bump into people that are using it.

Yes, did that and it worked fine. I also do some strange things like replace the dictionary files with symbolic links into my working directories so that they get shared and synchronised between my different devices. You can always try the repo version another time and then perhaps do a parallel install after that maybe. Since I noticed that the debian testing repository is allegedly the same version as TDF's (3.4.6-602) I tried using it but the problem came back. So I'll stick with TDF's version for now and wait for a new release.

Can you download the TDF's official version instead of using one from the repos? http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=deb-x86〈=en-GB I have tried it now, and it works! Thank you very much. It messed with my desktop integration a little and put the configuration files in a different place, but when I'd worked that out it all looked good. I didn't bother with the parallel installation though, actually didn't notice that you'd shown me that link until it was too late. I guess I can go back to the debian distro when they get 3.4.6?

[libreoffice-users] how about 'recent documents?'
This feature has not been working for a while and version 3.5.2.2 brings no relief either...
