Jim,

MORE threatening language? Witness a large mind at work.

So, Jim, you find being bored more objectionable than backchannel 
bullying. Got it.


This actually isn't about you. It isn't even about me.

Does this list have a problem?

I haven't the time right now to finish writing what I have to say. I 
will, in a few hours. If the list finds it irrelevant, so be it. But to 
attempt to shut me up before you've even hear what I have to say? That 
alone makes you irrelevant.


This problem requires thought, not threats. If this is a problem for 
you, sit down.

2014-05-10 Thread Tom Cloyd

Jim,

Discussing isn't resolving. You, and a number of others, clearly do not 
grasp the issue at all. Or maybe you're just indifferent to abuse. Well, 
I'm not.


When I'm finished with this, I'll be quiet, and not before. As I said, 
I've been occupied with higher priorities all week. That should not 
cause the matter to become irrelevant.


And I find the gender-related slam very revealing. Real men don't 
attempt to shut up other men either by using abusive language or by 
suggesting they're somehow acting like the other gender. Looks like 
another bullying-attempt to me - because it is.


I'm quite sure the few women involved in this list recognized the slam, 
and didn't like it one bit.


I've heard from exactly three women about this, one, backchannel. All 
three spoke in strongly and clearly in their rejection of the bullying 
behavior which started this thread. That rather tells us who's leading 
here and who's just irrelevant.


If you're disinterested, go elsewhere.

Tom

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: crash - crash - crash - crash. !@#$#@!

2014-05-09 Thread Tom Cloyd

Greetings.

I disagree, Tom, in the strongest possible terms.

I've been extremely busy this week, doing what I do - taking care of 
victims of interpersonal abuse of all sorts.


This Urmas matter is far from resolved, as far as I'm concerned.

Every work group, and that's what this is - we're here to get work done, 
has at least two legitimate and necessary functions, from the point of 
view of groups process:


1. The work which brings the group together. Most people, especially 
males, focus on this. It's only natural.


2. Group process and maintenance concerns. This is usually taken up, if 
at all, only when some crisis arises (a bad practice), and is much more 
often a focus for females than for males. One sees this gender 
differential in families as well.


The big point to be made is that success with #1 depends on success with 
#2, though this is often not well recognized.


As I am escaping a bit from my own work week, I'll return to this issue 
here. I definitely am not finished, and I will be attempting to refocus 
people on the real issue which I raised in my initial post about Urmas. 
I'll give a synopsis for those who are arriving to this late. I'll also 
start a new thread, as this present thread was really about an LO 
instability problem I was having which is now resolved by the current 
Master.


The issue for me, and I think for all of us, is about this list's being 
a safe place to resolve LO problems. That statement requires 
clarification, and I'll provide that.


Tom

2014-05-04 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
I don't see how this mailing-list could stop anyone from writing private
emails to people who have written in to this mailing list.  We have to work
with what we have got.

I agree it might be a good idea to encourage people to forwards Urmas'
off-list remarks to somewhere but i'm not sure this list would be the best
place.  I'm not saying it definitely wouldn't be the best place, just that
there are pros and cons to doing so.  There is a moderators list and a
postmasters email address, but sending just to them would keep those
posts off this list and although that would be good in some ways it creates
potential problems in others.

If this mailing-list made it more difficult to respond to individuals than
to the whole list then that might reduce the potential for that sort of
behaviour but wouldn't eliminate it.
Regards from
Tom :)

  Tom, I have to strongly disagree.

 As I've pointed out, bullies flourish when they can act unseen. This is
 personality disordered behavior (if I may put on my professional hat for a
 moment). It's due to lack of appropriate internal controls to structure
 behavior. The solution that works is not to yield ground but to provide
 external structure. Put plainly, that is about push back. One doesn't need
 to get riled. *One just needs to get clear, then act.* His behavior is
 unacceptable. Period. (And that's putting it politely.)

 The next person he does this to may be a 12 year old struggling to get a
 grip on the software and making a mess of it. You want to turn him loose to
 have at her? Really? I don't think you, and others, have really thought
 this through.

 He knows he's being watched, and yet he acts as if there is no problem for
 him at all. Why? *Because there isn't*. That needs to change.

 I suggest two solutions: he should be banished from the list. If he comes
 back, repeat as needed.

 And, until action is taken, all inappropriate emails from him or anyone
 else should be forwarded to the list. No cover for bullies, as I've
 already said.

 I've dealt with people like this on other lists, in my neighborhood, at
 work (my boss!), and in adolescent treatment centers and mental hospitals.
 It's always the same drill. One warning, then you lower the boom,
 decisively. Someone WILL be in control: it's them or it us. We have to
 decide.

 I DO expect an appropriate and effective response from this list, not some
 ineffectual roll-over.

  I was allowing for the possibility that he wasn't serious. Turns out not
 to be true.


 I've almost never found 'professional' proprietary stuff to be any better
 than OpenSource.

  My experience exactly.

  Indeed a new study by an independant security company found that
 OpenSource had slightly less errors per 1,000 lines of code.  There is also
 the usual faster response time to fixing issues due to even mere normal
 users being able to report issues quickly and fairly easily and perhaps
 even getting involved in solving the problem and discovering coding
 skills.

  *Faster response time:* Yes. I've been running the latest alpha build.
 My vector M nonsense problem is gone. But there was a problem with row
 sorting crashing the program. I just installed the very latest Master, on
 the advice of the dev replying to my bug report. Now THAT problem appears
 to be gone. This is all very cool.

 *Getting involved: *Yes, also. I'm learning the bug reporting interface
 and protocol, in the process. Is easy enough. Looks like I've found a way I
 can contribute, with my very limited time. That, too, is very cool.

 Now we just need to get right of the Urmas bullying bug and we'll be all
 set. I'll be watching that one especially closely.

Hi :)

i agree that banning or booting is not as easy as it might seem.

I think that it's more difficult for a bully to be effective when
1.  the mailing list is supportive of individuals coming here and
2.  when the mailing list is clearly not of the same opinion as the bully

What doesn't help is when the mailing list gets bogged down in some
flame-war or has a big fight over the issues or when personal insults fly
to-and-fro.  When someone new sees insults flying in from both sides it's
difficult to see either side as (or any side) as being acceptable.

I'm not suggesting that we sweep this under the rug nor that we avoid the
issue nor pretend it doesn't exist.  It does exist and at the moment we are
lucky it is only 1 person.  Once MS starts to get seriously worried about
LO then history might repeat itself and we find ourselves swamped with many
more.  We already see that in the Comments sections under many articles,
in the press, about LibreOffice.

I'm not disagreeing with Tom or anyone else that has argued for banning and
other punitive measures.  On the contrary i think such measures could well
prove useful in many cases and might even work sometimes or at least
discourage such behaviour even if they are not always as effective as we
would hope for.  The more tools we have for dealing with this sort of
behaviour the better imo.

Tom :)

I'm not suggesting that we sweep this under the rug nor that we avoid the
issue nor pretend it doesn't exist.  It does exist and at the moment we are
lucky it is only 1 person.  Once MS starts to get seriously worried about
LO then history might repeat itself and we find ourselves swamped with many
more.  We already see that in the Comments sections under many articles,
in the press, about LibreOffice.

I'm not disagreeing with Tom or anyone else that has argued for banning and
other punitive measures.  On the contrary i think such measures could well
prove useful in many cases and might even work sometimes or at least
discourage such behaviour even if they are not always as effective as we
would hope for.  The more tools we have for dealing with this sort of
behaviour the better imo.

Tom :)

Just put him in a set-and-forget filter on your email client and be

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: crash - crash - crash - crash. !@#$#@!

2014-05-04 Thread Tom Cloyd

Tom, I have to strongly disagree.

As I've pointed out, bullies flourish when they can act unseen. This is 
personality disordered behavior (if I may put on my professional hat for 
a moment). It's due to lack of appropriate internal controls to 
structure behavior. The solution that works is not to yield ground but 
to provide external structure. Put plainly, that is about push back. One 
doesn't need to get riled. _One just needs to get clear, then act._ His 
behavior is unacceptable. Period. (And that's putting it politely.)


The next person he does this to may be a 12 year old struggling to get a 
grip on the software and making a mess of it. You want to turn him loose 
to have at her? Really? I don't think you, and others, have really 
thought this through.


He knows he's being watched, and yet he acts as if there is no problem 
for him at all. Why? _Because there isn't_. That needs to change.


I suggest two solutions: he should be banished from the list. If he 
comes back, repeat as needed.


And, until action is taken, all inappropriate emails from him or anyone 
else should be forwarded to the list. No cover for bullies, as I've 
already said.


I've dealt with people like this on other lists, in my neighborhood, at 
work (my boss!), and in adolescent treatment centers and mental 
hospitals. It's always the same drill. One warning, then you lower the 
boom, decisively. Someone WILL be in control: it's them or it us. We 
have to decide.


I DO expect an appropriate and effective response from this list, not 
some ineffectual roll-over.


Tom

Stuart,

Using Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha1 Build ID: 
46cfcd5a05aa1d13fecd73f5a25b64b8d8dd6781 on Kubuntu 4.04.


In about 20 hours of fairly intense use I've had exactly one 
vector::_M_range_check, and I was unable to replicate it. I'll keep 
watching.


This is the most solid, stable version I've worked with for many weeks, 
if not months. A real pleasure.


There a few remaining issue, but not show-stoppers and I'll be working 
to file a bug report on those as soon as I can reliably reproduce them. 
One I expect to be able to do this with fairly easy.


Looks like Kohei Yoshida has done some excellent work. I have subscribed 
to the CC list for fdo#76607, which appears to be the problem that's 
been causing me such grief.


Onward!

When you get a chance, could you load up a newer nightly build of master,
e.g. of the 4.3.0.0alpha1+ build. Found here--
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/

Kohei Yoshida, one of the lead devs on the calc spreadsheet component,  made
a range of commits on 24 April (the 4.3.0.0alpha1 was wrapped up 20 April so
not included yet for it) against bugs  fdo#76607

I kind of suspect that your remaining issue may already have been corrected.
If so, let us know and perhaps add your bugzilla user ID to the CC list for
the issue.

Re: status of forum participant Urmas -

I've examined the past 3 months' posts by this individual - 
approximately 25% of them are slams of LO software or insults to some 
individual participating in this forum.


Why is this tolerated? Do we not have elementary behavioral guidelines 
here? Shouldn't we have?


If a forum participant behaves here as if they were lost in some 
pre-adolescent level of maturity, I think they are not ready to be here. 
This is not a playground for bullies or want-to-be sociopaths.


I urge that this individual be suspended from participation in this 
forum for at least a week. If there's another infraction, then make it a 
month.

Hi Tom,

Urmas was put to forced moderation only recently. We are under strict
orders to let only those posts through, that do not insult anyone on the
list.
Even though we don't let everything through to the list from him, he still
can send out emails directly to the people in question.

I don't think that there is much use in banning him from the mailing lists
itself, since he could just register a new email address and re-subscribe
with this new address.
But rest assured, we're trying very hard to keep this list a reasonable
family-friendly place where we show respect for the other members.

2014-05-03 Thread Tom Cloyd

Sigrid,

I thank you for your attention to this matter.

Since his behavior appears to be to send aggressively worded, 
intimidating messages to forum members which only they see, I STRONGLY 
URGE anyone receiving such messages to report them publicly to the 
forum. That way, the privacy which allows such behavior to continue is 
completely subverted.


Helpful, constructive posts are surely welcome here. Intimidating, 
personally aggressive ones absolutely are not.


That is my position, and I doubt that anyone will have much objection to it.

Now, just follow through with the suggested response I've outlined, and 
this behavior should cease.


Sigrid, thanks again for your speedy response.

Tom C.

Hi :)
Errr, the numbers beyond the 3rd digit don't mean much to most of us here.
 We do have a few devs here who might notice but it's probably beyond most
of us.

Splitting off individual worksheets sounds like a great idea.  Hopefully
none of the sheets do calculations based on figures calculated in other
worksheets do they?  It's unlikely [crosses fingers behind back] but it
does happen sometimes.

Each tab at the bottom is a separate worksheet but i guess you know that
already.

You can probably save individual tabs/worksheets as .csv files so that
you can work on them using simple text-editors but csv is so
non-standardised that in can be a nightmare trying to export to .csv in
such a way that makes it easy to open as a normal spreadsheet afterwards.

I guess the key point is whether the spreadsheets are 'just' holding data
or whether they are doing tons of calculations.

Stuart and Jean-Baptiste know a lot more about what is fixed in each
version.  I gave broad-brush-strokes but they know the detail.  So, scratch
my idea about going back to the 4.1.6.  It might suit most cases but
clearly not yours.
Regards from
Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: crash - crash - crash - crash. !@#$#@!

2014-05-02 Thread Tom Cloyd

Stuart,

Update and status report - good news! -

1. I've installed Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha1 Build ID: 
46cfcd5a05aa1d13fecd73f5a25b64b8d8dd6781.


It's at least as solid as ver. 4.1.6.2 was for me. I'm still having 
vector::_M_range_check crashes - but only in one particular situation. 
As long as all my work is in one sheet - no errors at all. What a 
relief! But moving data to another sheet crashes it under a very 
specific situation.


I'm working on a replication dataset so I can file a bug and maybe see 
this problem removed completely while it's still an alpha. That would be 
fantastic. I'd also be actually contributing a little to development, 
and I'd love to do that.


So, all the work that's gone into this new version has sure paid off for 
ME, and I'm very grateful.


2. I installed 4.3.0.0 in parallel with 4.1.6.2, in case I had to revert 
to that, but right now - about 25 minutes into it I don't see that 
happening. Better to go forward, I think. My experiences can then help 
to improve the code, maybe.


3. I installed GNUmeric. Gck! Not good. It was incredibly slow. To 
insert a single new row in one sheet took about 50 seconds. More 
complicated things took even longer. It wouldn't copy formatting, and I 
could NOT find a format painter, which I simply must have. A total no-go 
for me. But, worth a look.


So, as of now, I'm back in business and moving forward, and that's a 
much better place than I was yesterday - all of which was devoted to 
trying to resolve this problem.


Thanks for your help for pushing me into 4.3. I had to study up on a few 
things, but the LO wiki material was extremely helpful and clear, and it 
solved all problems that came up.


Onward!

Tom

Tom,

Thanks for your thoughts, as always.

I'm copying individual sheets into new blank spreadsheets, not .csv 
files, which would accomplish nothing.


And, yes, they ARE doing tons of calculations. That appears to be the 
problem - maybe. Alternatively, it appears that moving things around get 
the program pretty confused pretty quickly.


See my next post, to Stuart, for an updated status report - good news.

2014-05-02 Thread Tom Cloyd

Stuart,

I'd love to. I just explored around with the link you gave. I run 
Kubuntu Linux, and the link was to windows releases, but it wasn't hard 
to find a deb version. I shouldn't have been put off by that /win/ link! 
I'll load that up and see what I can do. It could hardly be much worse 
than what I'm experiencing now.


That's for tomorrow morning, though. I've been working on this and 
related issues all day, and I done it.


Will let you know what happens. I'm hopeful! I could go the GNUmeric, 
but I'd like to say with calc. Like you idea of parallel with GNUmeric, 
though. Will probably try that.


THANKS.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: crash - crash - crash - crash. !@#$#@!

2014-05-02 Thread V Stuart Foote
Tom,

Glad you are making progress.  Now, if we can impose a bit on you ;-)

It would be very helpful if you can now more completely characterize the 
remaining issue into a formal issue report on our Bugzilla tracker (as hosted 
by FreeDesktop.org but early in a migration to our own).

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/index.cgi   where you'd Open a New Account

Then, you can File a Bug from there against LibreOffice, selecting component 
of Spreadsheet, and setting version of 4.3.0.0.alpha1

Or alternatively, use the Bugzilla Submission Assistant as an alternative -- 
https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/ -- with the Bugzilla log-in just 
created.

All very simple, but the work/pain needed would be that attached to the new bug 
we'd need you to put a sanitized version of the problem spreadsheet that still 
produces the crash.  And also include the specific steps you perform that are 
resulting in the vector::_M_range_check crashes.  The better the description 
of steps to reproduce with the sample document, the more likely one of the devs 
will be able to pin down the specific cause of the crash.

And, since you are on Linux, you might also attach a backtrace  and strace of 
the crash--details for that are here: 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport/Debug_Information#GNU.2FLinux

I know it will be a bit of work for you to get it submitted, but it is worth 
the hassle as it may lead to complete support for your work flows.

Post back with your Bugzilla issue ID once you get it filed.

Stuart

 Thanks for your help for pushing me into 4.3. I had to study up on a few
 things, but the LO wiki material was extremely helpful and clear, and it
 solved all problems that came up.
 
 Onward!
 
 Tom

Tom,

When you get a chance, could you load up a newer nightly build of master,
e.g. of the 4.3.0.0alpha1+ build. Found here--
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/

Kohei Yoshida, one of the lead devs on the calc spreadsheet component,  made
a range of commits on 24 April (the 4.3.0.0alpha1 was wrapped up 20 April so
not included yet for it) against bugs  fdo#76607
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76607   and  fdo#72741
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72741  .

I kind of suspect that your remaining issue may already have been corrected.  
If so, let us know and perhaps add your bugzilla user ID to the CC list for
the issue.

Stuart

Since the last major update (ver. 4.2.1?), my day begins with a serious
of crashes - only after I save both sheets (separately, of course) 6-12
times, each time after some small operation, do they get stable.

You are supposed to use commercial software to do serious work. It is rather 
strange to complain about something made just-for-fun and given you for 
free.

2014-05-02 Thread Tom Cloyd

Urmas -

I am supposed to - WHAT? You in da wrong place man. You one lost dude.

I cannot recall the last time I did what I was supposed to do. That's 
simply alien thought. I do what I want to do. Period, which is why I'm here.


I will mercifully assume you are exercising your capacity for dry wit. I 
do that sometimes, and get myself into some interesting pickles.


But just for those few who might think you could be serious:

Libre - that means 'free to do what you choose'. Free TO choose. Free 
to complain, to work on solutions, to contribute what you can. Free to 
acquire a sense of ownership. Free to offer funding, when you can. Free 
to participate, and learn, and promote the best damned software you ever 
used to all who will listen you.


Man, that sure does NOT describe the relationship I had with Microsoft, 
Intuit, Apache, and a host of other folks who were giving me da 
bidness for years, by figuring out new and devious ways to build walled 
gardens and to force me to pay them every year for newly scrambled 
interfaces and file formats, and wretched documentation, etc.


A quick trip down memory lane:

* Internet Explorer 6 - featuring the box model from hell. Torturing web 
designers for well over a decade, with never even the suggestion of a 
fix - they didn't flippin' care.
* Intuit Quicken - featuring mandatory updates, at a price, every year. 
You get to subscribe whether you want to or not.
* Windows XP - the worst single piece of crap I even loaded onto my 
computer. It got better after about a decade of updates - 5 years after 
I stopped using it forever.


Does opensource software it always work. Hell no. But then neither do I, 
so I can only say so much about that. What it DOES do is offer me 
relentless improvement; the joy of an active, supportive community; 
documentation that is very often the best I've ever seen; and contact 
with folks I truly believe are the most dedicated and creative 
programmers I've ever seen.


...made just for fun... Yeah. Serious fun. The kind that is 
indistinguishable from the most meaningful work you can imagine. The 
kind that's a gift to the world. The kind of fun to which my life is 
dedicated.


Before I was a psychotherapist, I was a cultural anthropologist. Let me 
tell you a little about leadership in primitive society: Very often, 
leaders are poor. They give away what they have for the benefit of the 
people, which is why they get such respect, and become leaders. I am 
very happy, in the software world in which I participate, to be in the 
company of such leaders. Because I am libre, I choose to be here. I 
would not choose to be anywhere else. You could not pay me to be 
anywhere else.

Tom,

Believe you REALLY should get off of the 4.2.x branch and move onto the 4.3
now in alpha.
Devs have really put a lot of effort into exactly these issues for the 4.3
release.

First 4.3 alpha pre-release is 
here:  http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/win/x86/

or perhaps work with the nightly builds of master (4.3.0.0alpha1+) from 
here: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ you'll very quickly
identify if your work flow is going to ever be supported.

Try them first  in a parallel install, and perhaps side-by-side with
GNUmeric.

Stuart

 Everyday, I organize my life around two large LO spreadsheets. I'm 
 running ver. 4.2.1.1.

 Usually. Mostly. Except when they aren't.
 
 I'm doing wild, exotic things like moving rows around, and inserting 
 rows, or filling in columns with data copied from other columns.

Not sure your work flow is going to be stable on any spread sheet
program--too many moving parts.

But if ALL you are interested in is a solid Spreadsheet, perhaps have a look
at an alternative. Gnumeric comes to mind--http://www.gnumeric.org/

Otherwise, the mature LibreOffice 4.1.6 is very stable (but at the end of
its development life).   


 I'm SO ready for the next version.
 
 Anyone have a clue when it's due to land?

The 4.2.4 fresh build is just rolling out now.  

But my suggestion would be to test the calc component for 4.3.0  where there
has been very substantive refactoring work to improve its function and
stability.  It is available now in its initial alpha build--personally I'd
give that a go--it is here:
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/win/x86/

Tom,

I should have added a note regards option of doing a parallel installation
so you can test the versions side-by-side to identify the best stability for
your work flow.

See this Wiki page:

Regards,

Stuart
