Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice suite

2024-06-02 Thread aguador
Hi Laura,

Collabora, a LibreOffice contributor, has a LibreOffice based suite for
Android. If you use the PlayStore it is available there
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.collabora.libreoffice=en_US
) --with some less than completely positive comments.

Collabora is/was available via f-droid, but it requires some doing from
what I have seen. A quick search will help with that.

Best,
Roy

Hi Emily,

I am not on LO 24 yet, but I suspect there is a way to do it from with
the program. Lacking that knowledge, the first thing that occurs to me
is to try with a new profile. Your profile remains even you re-install
or update and that is where your settings are saved.

You can test this by going to Help and choosing Start in Test Mode.
That will ignore your profile and, if it works, you can find your
LibreOffice profile folder and rename it. When you restart you will
have to redo your settings, although you can very likely copy most of
the components from your old folder.

Wish I could be more specific, but without knowing the OS or the latest
LO you're using, its a bit harder.

Hope this helps a bit,
Roy

To expand on Tom's point, in Linux CUPS handles the printing, not the
individual programs, that would make the question one for Ubuntu.

That said you described the printers as "installed," meaning they are
visible/listed in whatever printer settings are available in Ubuntu or
directly via CUPS in your browser (usually https://localhost:631, user
"root" and root password to access).

If you see them in CUPS/Ubuntu settings, try restarting in test mode
(don't recall the English at the moment, but available from the Help
menu), and/or shutting down LO and renaming your profile directory
"~/.config/libreoffice" (e.g., add ".bad" or ".old" or whatever you
like). When you restart, LO will create a new directory. If LO then
sees the printers, it means that your old profile was corrupted for
some reason. (It happens from time to time.)

If the profile is the problem, you will need to go through all your
settings again. You may be able to copy some elements (e.g., templates)
from the old directory to the new to save a little work.

If the profile is not the problem, you can erase the new directory and
change the old directory name back to "libreoffice."

This does not really solve the direct conversion problem, but given
that the document is short, why no export pdfs of each page and then
convert them to png?

While I shouldn't drag out an off-topic issue, you might want to check
out the Vivaldi browser (in addition to Thunderbird). It is privacy

and offers the option of integrating e-mail and calendar, e.g.:

In 7.5.1.2 the options are still there.

If you open Calc, under View click on User interface and a popup window

(As a test you might consider changing the config to en_GB to see if
the same problem appears with plurals.)

The other, less likely issue may be with the locale setting. (I say
less likely because my system and UI are set to es_ES, and I have not
seen the problems with English plurals in documents.) I just installed
a Linux system for someone here Spain and the Spanish translations were
spotty because the system locale was incorrectly set at first. Can the
UI locale be set to ZA? And why is en_GB indicated in parens after your
locale setting? Is there no specific en_ZA.UTF-8 setting?

Hope there are other NZ users who can help more.

Lee,

Additional notes:

The rpm command given must be used when in the directory with the LO
rpm or have a full path to that directory specified. The Redhad Package
Manager (rpm) simply installs from an accessible file as opposed to
downloading and installing from an external repository.

The duplication of LO results because the source is not a Fedora repo. 

I am a Mageia user unfamiliar with dnf (even though it is available as
an alternative package manager), but there is likely a way to add the
LO repo to your system so that it will automatically update from there
(if that is what you want). Michael may know how, or you can ask in the
Fedora forums or start with this:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/adding-or-removing-software-repositories-in-fedora/

I have not read carefully, but it should be a good start.

Best,
Roy

This does not affect just adjectives, but some nouns -- and evolves
over time, such that the phrasal verb "follow up" is hyphenated as
adjective ("follow-up report"), but appears either hyphenated or as one
word (followup) when used as a noun. The trend in the latter case,
AFAIK, is to make the noun a single word -- or maybe it is just my
personal taste.

Even the LanguageTool plugin provides only limited help. Testing with:

"I would like you to followup on this issue. The follow-up should be
complete and presented in the form of a follow up report."

LanguageTool highlighted the hyphenated form and reported: "When
‘follow-up’ is used as a noun or modifier, it needs to be hyphenated."
It also reported the instance without a hyphen noting: "‘follow up’
seems to be a compound adjective before a noun. Use a hyphen: «follow-
up»." However, it did not flag the single-word form used as a verb.

The other positive in this example is that LanguageTool notes that
"follow up" should be hyphenated before a noun. Predicate adjectives
are excluded: "He is a well-known author." "The author is well known."

The problem in implementing this is we can expect not only temporal,
positional and personal variation, but dialectical as well with, in my
experience, en_GB being more conservative (although the case cited
above with LanguageTool was for en_US).

All of this makes the implementation of such help a minefield
(something I am sure was once a "mine field")!

In short, using LanguageTool or even adding examples to a dictionary is
not foolproof and you must be prepared to reject some "corrections" and
accept that some errors will be missed.

Best,
Roy

Two likely culprits: the extension or your profile. While it may only
be my perception, recent LO updates have forced more to redo my profile
to avoid crashes and other problems.

If you are sure it is the extension, you could try installing an
earlier version. I have not had LO crashes with 5.2 on Mageia 8/9.

Otherwise, check the issues and open a new one if needed:

https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/issues

LT has been very badly behaved of late. The dev changed the versioning
effectively blocking updates at some point between 4 and 5, and you can
see that there have been a rapid series of bug-fix releases. There are
currently over 1,200 issues open (about half the total reports),
although many are language specific.

I have just updated to 5.3 on Mageia 9 (Cauldron) and it (not LO)
crashed with a Java error. The extension's homepage has a review
at/near the top complaining about just such crashes
(https://languagetool.org/).

Roy

[libreoffice-users] Alternative to a new profile?

2021-04-15 Thread aguador
Lately it seems that LO updates more frequently require redoing one's
profile.

My latest example in Calc: open a .csv file, mark the date columns as
date (DMY) and import. The resulting dates are treated as text or
numbers and, of course, cannot be changed after the fact. However,
doing the same in safe mode does work correctly.

Although all extensions are for Writer, I tried disabling them all and
restarting, but the import still does not work properly.

Is my only alternative to rebuild my profile or may there be a specific
area to target?

Thanks.

[libreoffice-users] Search for extension updates not working?

2021-03-25 Thread aguador
I had a problem with LO Writer 7.1.2.1 (Mageia Linux) crashing when
opening a document and discovered that it was a problem with a not-up-

have discovered updates to three extensions in all.

I did a quick bug report check and saw nothing about the extension
manager. Are others seeing this? A known issue?

Thanks, Rémy. Yes, that is exactly what happened. It was deleted with a
change in the text and I finally discovered in a later example that
accepting the change gets rid of the comment -- but you have to reach
the very end of the area marked for comment. In this case I had
accepted the change, but apparently not reached the end of the marked
area to "capture" the comment. Going back I was able to do so and
accept the deletion with the left click popup menu.

[libreoffice-users] Cannot delete single comment

2021-02-10 Thread aguador
I am working with a book-length document in LO Writer 7.0.4.2 on Mageia
Linux in which a collaborator (probably with an earlier version of LO)
marked comments as resolved (or deleted? - marked with an "x") while
following changes was turned on.

In cleanup I want to eliminate the comment, but LO only offers the
option of eliminating all comments by or all comments by all users.

 * Is there some way to eliminate these comments one-by-one, or do I
   need to return after dealing with all comments?
 * And is this a bug or a "feature"?

Thanks,

You do not say what OS-DE combination you are using. This happened to
me the other day, but Enlightenment provides a right-click menu from
the icon on the ask bar to access resizing with the keyboard. I suspect
other Linux (at least) DEs have something similar. A lifesaver when the
window drops down to less than postage stamp size!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Changes in LO 7.0.3 affecting embedded images and objects?

Thanks Italo, I had not known about an appimage for LO. The file is
indeed odt format and opens perfectly with the appimage -- so will open
a bug report in Mageia. Roy

[libreoffice-users] Changes in LO 7.0.3 affecting embedded images and objects?

2020-11-19 Thread aguador
I just opened a file last saved on 10/11 (with LO 7.0.2, I believe)
that did not show the embedded image and spreadsheet. It only had
"image" and "object 1" in place of those items.

Has something changed in the latest release, or this more likely a
packaging problem with Mageia Cauldron?

Are you, by chance, using a toner-saving mode? I have seen that very
thin lines are affected by dpi and toner-saving mode on my laser

Hi Valter,

Mageia Cauldron working fine with 6.4.3.1 Gtk and did not note a
problem before these updates.

Have you reported this to Neon? This sounds like a packaging or
possible Plasma problem (having seen that Plasma just issued a minor
update). These files should be "owned" by root, so there should be no
problem. You can check ownership in the terminal with:

 ls -lart /usr/lib64/libreoffice/help/

(The files are located there on my 64-bit system. Double check the
location on yours.)

Best,
Roy

PS If this is affecting LO only, there are a couple of things you can
try first. 1) Try restarting the LO applications in "safe mode" (from
the help menu). 2) If that does not help (which I doubt), back up your
profile and let LO create a new one (
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile). 3) Download the
proper LO package (deb,rpm) from the Doc Foundation and see if it works
properly to rule out any packaging issues in your distro.

The icons on the panel will be determined by the icon set chosen in the
desktop environment, and most of the major sets (e.g., faenza, papyrus,
breeze, oxygen) have a full set of icons for LO. So, even if only LO
icons are not displaying properly, it is not really a matter for this
list but for your distribution. I would post a question to its ML or in
its forum. You could also try linuxquestions.org.

BTW your message seems to imply that you have both the GTK XFCE and the
QT Plasma DEs installed together, which is unusual. There might be a
chance that has something to do with the problem you are having. So
again, I would check with your distro.

Have you tried working with a new profile as mentioned in my earlier
post? (See https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile about
profile locations, etc.)

In my test I found that not even starting LO in safe mode solved the
problem, but allowing LO to create a new profile did. I would be
interested to see if others can confirm this.

Or perhaps it is the poster's most frequently used application with the

Double-clicking on the document assumes that it is readily visible --
perhaps on a sloppy, crowded desktop? -- otherwise there are additional
steps. Opening LO certainly works as well as opening from within LO
Writer and is a bad recommendation. However, as I think about
alternating between creating and editing documents in Writer (my most
heavily used component of LO), going directly to Writer seems the most
natural way or working (at least for me). Furthermore, if you think
that this should be the MO for using LO, perhaps there should be no
links to open LO components directly from menus.

That may be, but it seems that the poster I have other ways of working
that make sense to us. Furthermore, why would I open a blank document
first if I were going to be working with both an existing and blank
document simultaneously? Opening the existing document first seems more
logical to me. However, all of that is beside the point because we are
talking about a change in what has been the default behavior and, if my
test in safe mode is any measure, is still the default behavior.

Thanks, Dan. I just updated to LO  6.3.2.2 and I have seen the same
thing. However, I tested in safe mode and, voilá, the blank document
problem disappeared. Perhaps others might confirm this?

Minor gripe: I used LO for years with no need to change the profile.
This is now the second time in less than a year that this has been
required. Are we seeing big changes that make these things unavoidable,
or might they be avoidable?

Kudo: Now that I've griped, let me praise the new print dialog. It has
taken a long time, but it is great to see the print odd/even pages
option!

[libreoffice-users] Writing to Android device

2019-06-14 Thread aguador
Until relatively recently I have been able to write and export directly
to my Android device, which allows me to read things in transit or
avoid lugging my laptop. However, somewhere along the line, I believe
in the LO-6.2 series, this has become impossible. Attempting to write
an odf file or export to pdf results in a "File does not exist" error,
followed by a "general input/output error".

The problem occurs in Mageia 7, E22 DE, currently with LO-6.2.3.2. Is
there perhaps a setting to cure this ill?

Cor, I've copied you as you helped so much on the save dialog issue.

Yes, Cor, you should as your advice did the trick. I just updated the
report to note that the difference between the 6.2 and 6.3 releases is
the default setting on UseSystemFileDialog (false in the former, true
in the latter).

Thanks, Drew. The problem is that I have been using LO in E for over
two years so nothing should have changed on my system. However, Cor

Perfect, that did it. Someone mentioned this in the bug report, but
without specifying which variable specifically. I now have the dialog

I am not currently running KDE, but it may have to do with a the VCL

Thanks for the reply and screenshot. This now seems to be a
distribution/DE issue as you have exactly what is missing here: a list
of drives and partitions. It is somewhat similar to the dialog box on
6.0.1.x running under XFCE that I just looked at.

Here is the current save dialog from Mageia 7 running Enlightenment:

https://c.gmx.com/@558252282525778603/0X9cLX6zRoqnWgsewkw6jA

I will check further in Mageia, but would be curious to hear if others
see variations based on DE, etc. I should also have thought of
downloading the rpm from the DF to see how it behaves.

Thanks again for the feedback.

[libreoffice-users] LO 6.2.x save dialog on Linux

2019-06-12 Thread aguador
Does anyone on the list, whether from the DF or a user, know if there
are plans to improve the save dialog?

As it stands, at least on Linux, separate partitions and connected
drives are no longer shown in the dialogue. Saving to such a partition
or drive means navigating there through the root directory. I know that
it is possible to save the location, but this does not help if you are
saving to a new or infrequently used external device.

If needed I will file a request for enhancement because the one step
forward for cloud users brought several steps back for connected
drives.

[libreoffice-users] Saving to mobile device, LO 6.2.3.2

2019-05-21 Thread aguador
Until sometime around 6.2 I was able to save or export a pdf to a
connected Android device. That suddenly disappeared with a permissions
error.

Now with the new save dialog, the possibility of saving to a connected
Android device no longer seems possible as it is not offered as a
possibility. Even navigating to /run/user/XXX/gvfs offers nothing.

Are others experiencing this? Bug file time?

Details: LO 6.2.3.2, Mageia Linux 7, Enlightenment (22.4) DE
