Going forward, you can abuse the classification system, by selecting
"Internal Only" as the classification. This will add a header, footer,
and diagonal message across every page, that says "This content is
marked Internal Only. Do not distribute it outside of the business." or
an abridgment thereof.

On second thoughts, it might be less scary to simply create a
classification "Draft", with slightly more appropriate messages,
displayed in a less in-your-face manner.


I don't know anything about the classification system, but it sounds 
like something that's not necessary in my case.


I learned long ago, never proofread your own writing!   LOL   These are 
small condensed 1 page informational sheets for customers to help them 
know more about their computers.  The watermark is simply to prevent the 
wrong copy from being printed and then handed out.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How do I install the current Linux version

2016-10-31 Thread Virgil Arrington
Here's how I did it with Ubuntu 14.04LTS. I imagine it might work with Mint, 
which is based on Ubuntu.


Method 1

I opened a command line terminal (With Ubuntu, it's Ctrl-Alt-t).

I typed in the following commands, hitting  after each line.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-5-1

sudo apt-get update

After typing in the first line, you'll be prompted for your user password. The 
first line adds the repository for LO 5.1.x. The second line automatically 
updates your system to use it.


Method 2

You can do the same thing through Synaptic Package Manager. Open Synaptic and 
click on Settings and then Repositories. In the Repositories dialog, click on 
Other Software, then click Add. Then type in ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-5-1 
and click Add Source. You will be prompted to reload your software sources. 
Once you do that, you can click Mark All Upgrades. Synaptic will mark the LO 
packages that are to be updated. Click Apply and you'll be upgraded.

Again, I've used both methods with Ubuntu. That said, I am not by any means an 
experienced Linux user. I tend to use Synaptic for all my software installation 
needs. I've never downloaded and installed a *.deb file. Instructions for these 
methods are found at:

https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-5-1.

I don't know enough about Mint to know if it will work properly, but since Mint 
is based on Ubuntu, I tend to believe it will.

Hi Tim,
What I do is unpack the install files [I use .deb files] and place

This will give me "/home/timothy/lib" while using the file manager

Then I use the "Mate Terminal" [default command line for the MATE

I get this folder shown

timothy@Gateway-NE56R12u:~/lib$

At this point I use this command to install all of the .deb files
from that folder. I tend to place both the language and help .deb
files - if needed - in a different folder like lib2.

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

This will prompt me to five my superuser password.  Then it will
start a "long" install process for all of the .deb files in the

cd lib

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

After looking for this in the web I would make it the same way you
have described here. It's a little bit different to the tool, which is
delivered with OpenSuSE for system-managing with YAST, but it will
work well.
Don't know how to add a dircetory as repository in other sytems. But

For every installation on linux you could
- - install as root/SuperUser
- - install as user in your own directory

Install as root/SuperUser:
1. Upack the files you downloaded (program, help, language)
2. Create a directory which you could call as you want (local_sources)
3. Move the *.deb-packages (or *.rpm-packages) to this directory
4. Use your install-program and add the directory as a local source
for your installer.
5. Now you could choose the directory with your installer and could
install all packages from there.


I did OK until step 4, and then my lack of basic Linux knowledge 
reared it's ugly head.  ROFL


In Mint 17.3, under Administration I see Software Manager, Software 
Sources, and Synaptic Package Manager.  But in none of those do I 
recognize anything that lets me point to folder I created.  I.E. a 
point and click method.  Is one of these the "install-program" you are 
referring to?


Would the folder I created now be called a repository?  If so, do I 
input the complete path?  Which means I need to learn how Linux 
structures pathnames.


Where can a find a truly beginner's guide for this type of 
information? I've noticed over the years that many "beginners" 
articles are not truly beginners articles at all, the articles already 
assume some basic level of knowledge.  Knowledge that does not always 
exist.  :-(




I do not get what is being said in 4 and 5 as well.

What I do is unpack the install files [I use .deb files] and place them 
all in a temporary folder I call "lib".  Nice and simple, I have that 
folder in the "home" folder called "timothy".


This will give me "/home/timothy/lib" while using the file manager

This is my starting point for this laptop - yours will look different

I type in "cd lib"

  which does not state there is only one way - note 'usually' -
therefore when a message has not been released to the list,

I have never seen Mint. I'm using OpenSUSE since many years. But when
I see the title I would try it with
Software Sources.
There must be a possibility to add sources in the web, like Packman,
or also local Folders without any special description.

After you have added the directory as a source you could close
Software Sources
and could open
Software Manager (don't know the difference between "Software Manager"
and "Synaptic Package Manager").
There you should be able to install the packages of the folder.

Yes, it would be like a repository. But you haven't to know anything
about pathnames. There must be a button to choose the path out of a
list. The only difference to normal repositories: There is no
description inside the repository. It's only a repository with
deb-packages.

I will have a look, if I find something special for your situation.

I registered there soon after starting with Mint.  I don't post much

With regard to easily keeping your installation of LO updated on Mint, you

This was brought out in an earlier thread.  Go to Print -> options tab
and check "Use only paper size from printer preferences."

That should enable paper sizes and orientation selection in the print
dialog.


It does not.  :-(

However, I discovered I can go to the printer's defaults, and set
landscape there, choose the "Use only..." setting in LO, and I get the
landscape layout when the spreadsheet is printed.

What I'm taking away from this is, it is a problem with LO 5.0.x that
comes with Mint 17.3 Rosa.

So I still need to go somewhere to find out how I install the current
version after I have it downloaded.

Thanks for the help and suggestions, everyone.



Yes, you must select landscape in LO (Format -> Page)  to format the
document/page and you must select landscape in the print dialog to
select the printer paper size/orientation.  If you don't then you get
the symptoms you described in your OP.  This is not a bug.  It makes
good sense.


Agreed.  Only problem is, it doesn't work for me at the moment with the 
default LO in Mint 17.3  :-(



The grayed out paper size/orientation in the print dialog I responded
to, is a separate issue brought up by Gordon and seemed to have started
with LO 5.x.  Don't know about 4.x.  LO 3.x did not exhibit this
"feature" AFAIK.  OpenOffice 4.x does not exhibit this either, but then
it is a different beast now.

Hi Ken,


Hi, Gordon,


  There  any many versions of Linux, just look at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions
to see.


Oh, yea, I know. I go peek at distrtowatch.com now and again.  And
I've played with a number of LiveCD's to get a quick look at the ones
that looked interesting to me.


If you are wishing to stay with Mint, then take a look at their
home page. There plenty are of good options and
you will find that people have their preferences and tend to stay with
them.


I joined their forums 4-5 months ago.  And I got some suggestions
about using PPA's other than Linux Mint.  Just haven't had the time to
get to that.  But that doesn't mean the latest stable version is in
any of those PPA's.

FYI, this printing problem has cropped up a couple weeks ago.  I asked
in the forums a couple months ago.

Right now I'm using Mint with the Cinnamon desktop, looking for some
alternative to Windows and Macs that look simpler to tackle for
seniors and other "computer illiterate" folks.  Something they may
find easier to learn.  Secondarily, some of these individuals may have
unsupported versions of operating systems, but can't afford to buy a
new system. Or, they may not have one and can't afford one, but older
hardware can be salvaged and the system given to them.



On old XP systems, I tend to replace Windows with Ubuntu with Mint as
the desktop.  It was the closest to what I saw with Ubuntu's desktop for
9.x.x thru 10.10.x

It works well for XP users, in my test with friends.


Is it Ubuntu that works well for your friends, or the Mint desktop?  My 
reason for using Mint is the Cinnamon environment seemed to provide the 
simplest user interface for new to Linux or new to computers users to 
understand.



I use MX-Linux, which is based on
Debian, like MInt,  and is a mid sized but very stable operating system.
MX has LO built in.



I use to use Linux Mint, but had too many issues with networked Canon
inkjet printers.

So I installed Ubuntu again, since I could find the Mint desktop for
it.  Now Ubuntu has a distro with Mint as a default instead of adding it
after Unity desktop opens up.

Also, when I was using Linux Mint, I could not easily upgrade to the
newest version.

Ubuntu tries to keep its repository up-to-date with the latest stable
version of LO.  I am running Ubuntu 16.04 with Mint.  I am using LO
5.2.1.2 on this laptop, but plan on upgrading it soon. Since I have been
using Ubuntu since the 9.x.x days on my main desktop.  I have tried a
few others on other laptops/desktops.  I chose Ubuntu since it was the
only Live CD that worked on my old HP desktop's sound card right from
that CD.  Right now this laptop, and my spare, run both Ubuntu 16.04 and
Windows 10,





Mint also has LO built in.


Where you setting your portrait/landscape option, in LO?


Been switching between them in Calc, in this case.  When I stumbled on
this problem today, I also tried Writer, same problem.

But, in the printer's properties, I can't switch from landscape to
portrait.  The option is greyed out.

I've even tried reversing the page dimensions, to no avail.



Are you sure it is a MX670?
If so, what country did you get it from.
I do not see it listed in the Canon support for the USA.


My bad, Tim, I typed the model from memory.  Sorry.

It's an MX 870 from the US.


Calc printed fine to a Canon MX-670 (I think that's the right printer)
when the printer was first installed.  Then it broke for some unknown
reason.  It would print about 1.25" of data, and then be paused.
Resume the printing, and another 1.25" would print. Removing the
printer and reinstalling (although I might not have done it correctly)
failed to fix

My problem is the same, and I'm not sure there's another way to solve it. In
specific, I've got some short paragraphs that are sometimes followed
immediately by lists that are related to their content. It's preferable not
to have those lists start a new page, especially when they follow a one-line
paragraph. Widow and orphan control don't help.

I suppose this could be a list-specific feature, but the idea is that the
first item would be forced to be on the same page as the preceding
paragraph, which would often mean that that preceding paragraph would have a
line bumped to the next page. I can do this manually with a page break, but
I'm looking for something automatic that would go in a style.

I would think this is not an unusual problem, even if it's not the most
common thing.

2016-10-31 Thread Kruno
Can you be a bit more elaborate about this? Point some of those bug reports you 
mention. Now it's not even clear to me how should 'keep with previous' even 
work.

I'll asume you are starting a list at the very bottom of the page.

List will start on a new page only if there is not enough room left on the 
current page, and there is nothing you can do about it - if it's not fitting 
the page, it can't be done (bug or not).

Paragraphs can be kept together only 'with next', because 'with previous' is 
kinda done by default and free space on the page is limiting factor which can 
not be overcome.

What you could do is reduce spacing inside of list and between previous 
paragraph and list and hope it will fit or, what I would do, is CTRL + ENTER to 
move previous paragraph on the next page too. Yes, that is not what you are 
trying to do but it's the only way to keep them together.

You also could keep previous list item with next list item but I don't think 
that other way around is even possible.

Naslov: [libreoffice-users] Re: Any way to "keep with previous" in Writer? 

This is an old post, but I think the problem still exists: how do you prevent
a list from starting a new page? "Keep with previous" would seem to do that,
and I don't find another solution.

Thoughts?
