Re: [libreoffice-users] Editing contents of an ODS file...

2022-01-14 Thread Gilles Gravier
Merci Sophie!

So I played with that. But it happens that the content.xml file itself
is too badly corrupted for me to recover it. :(

Thanks! At least I learned how to unpack and ODF file... check the
content... and repack the file to a working version... But the content
was too damaged this time... I'll know next time.

[libreoffice-users] Editing contents of an ODS file...

2022-01-14 Thread Gilles Gravier
Hi!

I have a broken ODS file. LibreOffice can't repair it.

When opening the ODS file in an archiver I can see that the directory
META-INF contains a vastly corrupted file. The rest of the files
inside seem OK.

So I'm tempted to remove the META-INF directory and see if I can open the file.

Unfortunately 7--zip let's me open the ODF file, and even extract its
contents... but not write the updated archive.

Any idea how I can do that?

Thanks!

Gilles

A (good) open source project is managed the same way as a good proprietary
software. In the sense that when new code is written, it gets reviews
according to predefined project governance, and then accepted or rejected.
That's the difference (in the open source world) between the contributors
(people who write code, patches, or even documentations, or participate in
driving community activities...) and the committers, who are the people who
can accept new contributions into the code base.

So when somebody writes a patch for a bug (you can, too, if you want, and
have the skills) and contributes it, it gets fully reviewed and (possibly)
approved and committed.

This happens for patches correcting issues, as well as all new code
bringing new functionality. This ensures that the project also keeps on
track with what the project strategy team is looking for.

Does it mean that no bugs get missed? No, of course. But that's the same as
for any software project. What it means is that there is the same type of
quality control mechanisms as for proprietary projects... but many many
more eyes looking at the code for bugs. So in average (COVERITY 2014
report) open source code tends to actually be higher quality than
proprietary with a density of 0.61 bugs per thousand lines of code for open
source versus 0.76 for proprietary (page 6 of the report available here :
http://go.coverity.com/rs/157-LQW-289/images/2014-Coverity-Scan-Report.pdf).

Note that in the paragraphs above, I didn't mention what project this
applies to. It's because it applies to ALL software projects (open source
or not, LibreOffice or others). :)

Enjoy the great software LibreOffice from The Documentation Foundation !

Try again now? Maybe a network or a server error that has since been fixed?

Re: [libreoffice-users] need help off this list - need Linux package choice help

2016-10-24 Thread Gilles Gravier
So... for version 2.0, you need the PPA (version 1.4 is in the default
repositories).

And... 16.10 isn't yet in the PPA.

And the command isn't apt-get-repository but add-apt-repository ... :)

Appart from that the idea is great.

The LibreOffice software is published under the Mozilla Public License
Version 2.0... Not a particularly restrictive license.
LO License : https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/licenses/
MPL 2.0 : https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/

In fact it's a great license to enable combining with other software.

Now, when Oracle (I used to work there) gave the OOo code to Apache,
they were really hoping to kill LO. But to their big surprise (and
contrary to all the bullshit I was given by the (at the time) head of
software strategy there), LO dit way better than OOo. OOo suffers from
many problems, from structural (Apache has taken an unreasonable amount
of time to clean up all the code - in particular licenses - but not the
actual algorithmics of the app) to project-wise (developers not adhering
to the idea, not committed to contributing enough, and as a result, new
versions comming out drop by drop, one  every year and a half - when LO
has new versions every few months or more often).

So the good guys here are LO. They're doing great work. They're keeping
alive software that Oracle did its best to "not kill" (it was a
commitment from Oracle to the European Commission when they acquired
Sun)... while still doing its best to make it disappear (they are really
upset that they never found a way to make money from it, and that they
never could control the community the way thew would have wanted to -
case in point, The Document Foundation is the exact opposite of what
Oracle wanted to achieve - including limiting sponsorship amounts so
that no single entity can claim to have overwhelming financial impact to
justify imposing directions to the project).

It would be a good thing FOR EVERYBODY if Apache decided to officially
call it quits on OOo, and put out one last version that had links for
next updates to the LibreOffice web site. Of course they have too much
pride to even accept the idea of doing this, so instead, they are
leaving their users with software that is terribly outdated (last build
4.1.2 is dated October 28th, 2015, and I'll let you imagine the number
of unpatched vulnerabilities inside)... They are pathetic. And
dangerous. And dying... Apache Foundation has many much more great
projects that they are working on, and doing a great job of keeping active!

[libreoffice-users] File->Exit LibreOffice doens't work in 5.1.1 on Windows

2016-03-10 Thread Gilles Gravier
Hi!

Strange bug. I launch 5.1.1.3 on Windows (7x64)... For example LibreOffice
Write. It opens. I click on File->Exit LibreOffice ... NOTHING HAPPENS.

If I click on the red cross top right corner of the window, it properly
closes it.
If I use the "Ctrl-Q" shortcut, it properly closes it.
Just the file->Exit LibreOffice menu doesn't.

Doesn't happen on Ubuntu Linux... here closing method works.

Do you get that behavior too?

Hi!
(resent now that I have subscribed)

Strange bug. I launch 5.1.1.3 on Windows (7x64)... For example
LibreOffice Write. It opens. I click on File->Exit LibreOffice ...
NOTHING HAPPENS.

If I click on the red cross top right corner of the window, it properly
closes it.
If I use the "Ctrl-Q" shortcut, it properly closes it.
Just the file->Exit LibreOffice menu doesn't.

Doesn't happen on Ubuntu Linux... here closing method works.

Do you get that behavior too?

Thanks,
Gilles
