Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: QUESTION: Libreoffice documents constantly need recovery
Hi :)
Renaming the .libreoffice or even better, one of it's sub-folders (such as
the
user/3), has the same effect as deleting it except that you are able to have a
look at your old stuff even tho LibreOffice can't see it. It effectively
quarantines your old set-up.
I have tried installing 11.04 a couple of times and each time it has
automatically given me the Gnome DE rather than Unity because it couldn't
handle
my monitor/graphics-card. I think your particular issue is that you connect
your flat-screen using a Vga cable rather than Hdmi, Dvi or whatever. In my
case it's because my monitor is a horribly ancient and dying Crt. (My 2nd Crt
is still quite nice).
Hopefully the 11.10 due to be released at the end of October ('obviously',
(hence the .10)) will have beaten Unity into better shape. The 3rd alpha
release has just been released but i'm not keen to test things that early,
maybe
wait for beta 2.
The 10.04 and 10.10 are great but i am about to try out a few other distros
again as LiveCds and then perhaps dual/multi-boots if i like the look. I might
even try contacting a few distro hoppers. I'm not keen to move away from
Ubuntu but there are a lot of ubuntu clones worth trying. I might try the
new
Zorin. Obviously i am going to try the more obvious ones such as Mint, Mageia,
openSUSE but i have already had a quick go with most. Mint and Mageia are the
most interesting and worth trying imo.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: QUESTION: Libreoffice documents constantly need recovery
Sorry, but the only monitor connection that I have is the standard VGA
cable which is attached to the motherboard. Plus the Acer monitor uses
VGA cable as well. Now my 19 inch flat scree TV can use VGA or HDMI
cables. I have a VGA cable plugged into it for working with showing
stuff from a laptop to the TV for a larger display.
As for CRT, I have two massively have 17 inch ones in the bottom shelf
dead storage cabinet. I was thinking about installing 11.04 with one
of those installed instead of the 18 inch flat screen.
The Unity issue: well all I have read about 11.04 was that Unity was
the default GUI, but you could choose to use GNOME after the initial
install. It would be nice to have to choose Unity instead of it being
the default.

Hi :)
Tada! :) Vga strikes again. It was such a fantastic thing for so many decades
that they had to create a problem for it with the new-fangled flat-screen tech.
I don't remember being given a choice of DE for 11.04 but switching is so easy
for me that i might not have noticed.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: QUESTION: Libreoffice documents constantly need recovery
Ubuntu just blows. It's going to get worse, not better with time. They have an overriding design constraint which ensures disaster. MUST FIT ON ONE CD. This leads to forcing shared images on things which SHOULD NOT use them and a boat load of untested code in each release. God forbid you ever try and install the KDE desktop with your default Gnome desktop. Less than half of everything will continue to work. Absolute zero multi-desktop testing occurs because they bust things up. With OpenSuSE 11.4 I can switch between KDE and GNOME on a whim and know it was all tested.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: QUESTION: Libreoffice documents constantly need recovery
Hi :) Err, i kept meaning to search out these guides, particularly the one from Ubuntu Geek http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-libreoffice-in-ubuntu-11-0410-1010-04-using-ppa.html http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-LibreOffice-in-Ubuntu-10-10-and-Ubuntu-10-04-177762.shtml The Ubuntu Geek one is the one that i used to get the right PPA but then instead of installing from the command-line i used Synaptic Package Manager. It's advanced search helped me find all the bits of OpenOffice and then uninstall them. It also let me pickchoose what parts of LibreOffice i wanted.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: QUESTION: Libreoffice documents constantly need recovery
Hi :) Sometimes it is better to use the LibreOffice that is in the repositories because they have been tweaked for your specific distro. The .debs should work fine on all Debian family distros but sometimes it's better to have one fine-tuned to your specific distro. Which version of Ubuntu; 10.04LTS (Lucid), 10.10 (Maveric) or 11.04 (Natty)? I think Natty has LibreOffice in the standard repos and for the earlier ones you can add a PPA to expand the repos. I'm not sure how to set-up ppas but the url of the one i use in 10.04 is http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu Also the LibreOffice versions 3.3.2 and 3.3.3 are much more stable than the 3.4.1 although if you are using the 3.4.1 you might want to try the 3.4.2 that was fully released earlier today. You can keep the one you already have installed and try another to compare but only by using the instructions in this guide http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel I think that guide might be worth looking through anyway if you have installed and uninstalled a lot of times. If you need to compare 2 documents or different versions of the same document i think there are soem good tools in LibreOffice to help make that a lot easier. The Writer Guide might be able to help http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation Good luck and regards from Tom :) From: Juan Carlos juanzeppe...@hotmail.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Mon, 1 August, 2011 18:14:38 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: QUESTION: Libreoffice documents constantly need recovery Hi David: Actually, even closing correctly the document and without close Ubuntu, when start any of the LO programs (for example Impress) appears again the same dialog box with the recovery tool and the error log (that I can't find in my home folder).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: QUESTION: Libreoffice documents constantly need recovery
Hi :) Both things happen. Windows sometimes makes a bit of a fuss about not shutting down when asked to. It prefers to find excuses and panicks about open documents. If you did have an open document then it will often tend to have a problem and want you to recover it even if you dealt with those error pop-ups neatly during shut-down. Neither thing always happens but one or the other or both do happen fairly often. I once shut-down halfway through writing something in a GnuLinux, got a brief warning that i ignored and it quickly timed out and continued with the shut-down. Then i installed a completely different gnulinux over the top of my OS and opened the text-editor to find it reopened the unsaved text-file with only a few words missing.

It stated that until those issues are fixed, you should not use it for several software applications, including LibreOffice. I do not know what the Openjkd is doing for the Java user community, but for me if both are free, I will use Sun's Java for the near future. But, Sun's Java had big problems a few years ago, and the newest one at that time would not install correctly on my Windows machine, so maybe Openjdk will be a good thing in the future, but not now for LibreOffice on my systems.

Alex, I have switched to Java 1.6.0_22 and that seems to have done the trick. Note I did not specifically choose this version, it is what LibreOffice 'chose' when installing from the PPA. When I went to Tools Options LibreOffice-Java, both versions were listed only the older one was actually selected. Apart from the obvious version change the older version is using java-6-openjdk whereas the newer version is java-6-sun-1.6.0.22 Please file a bug report, and or join one that may have already been filed. You can file/check here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice There appears to be one already filed by KAMI on openjdk: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/710641 but I can't seem to figure out how to link that to the PPA issues. Launchpad only allows it to be linked to the upstream: https://launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/trunk So, I'd file a new bug in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice and mention 710641. That way a dev can link the two together. Also add your log/comments to 710641. Also mention that you are using the ppa version include system details: $ lsb_release -a $ cat /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/versionrc $ apt-cache policy libreoffice -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

I see you're using JVM 1.6.0_20 (IcedTea), you might want to try updating to Java 1.6.0_22 to see if that resolves the difficulties.
