AOO.4.5.0.deb.es.11.06.2021 don't work in Debian 9

[Delio Orozco Gonzalez]

Hi: 

I downloaded since https://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/install/linux64/ 
AOO.4.5.0. I executed in the terminal ./soffice and this it the error message: 

OpenOffice 4.5.0 - Fatal Error 
No se puede iniciar la aplicación. 
exception occurred raising singleton 
"/singletons/com.sun.star.deployment.ExtensionManager": loading component 
library failed: [ file:///opt/openoffice4/program/deployment.uno.so | 
file:///opt/openoffice4/program/../program/deployment.uno.so ] 

In Debian 9 works fine 
Apache_OpenOffice_Dev_4.2.0_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_es.tar 

In Debian 10 works AOO.4.5.0 

Regards, Delio. 

Re: Hyperlink Warning Message

[F Campos Costero]

I downloaded the test document and tried the links using 4.1.10. I saw the
expected warnings. Closing the file and reopening via the drop down list on
the Open button worked with no problem. I then installed the 4.1.11 linked
above (Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.11_Win_x86_install_en-US_6652b2eb2e.exe
)
and repeated the test, again with no problems when I reopened the
document.  I did not try all of the links in the document but I did try at
least one of each kind.
Is that the kind of test you needed?  I am on Windows 10 and ran the
2021-06 update yesterday.

This one works great on my test document!
No warning on the .uno:Reload button or the odf file or inter-document 
links.


I did discover a bug unrelated to this.

When I open the document I created on Linux with the hyperlinks and uno 
button using the file open dialog it opens correctly using Windows 10.
When I open it again using dropdown beside the Open button in the Start 
Center or File > Recent Documents I get an ASCII Filter Options dialog 
and then a General Error. General input/output error and the file 
doesn't open.


Also happens with a production 4.1.9 that was on this system I'm testing on.

Can anyone on windows confirm with the file [1]?

Hi Matthias;

Unfortunately I cannot as Windows 10 is playing stupid as usual. I
cannot unpack it to my test folder, as 4.2.0 Dev Build 2 is on the
system and AOO rejects the Test build as the Dev-build is considered a
higher revision.

With some of the latest updates I can no longer unpack it to my NAS
drive. I am Leaving Sunday for a week at Conception Abbey in Missouri
and will not be back until a week from Saturday when I will have time to
threaten the system with bodily harm and get at least one one method to
work.

Hi Carl;

I mention the link as I prefer to run builds other than the GA Release
without linking it to my release profile. That way if there is a
problem, I can just delete the test or dev build folder and gone.

I'm using OpenOffice and/or LibreOffice in this manner for years. This 
works.


If need be I create shell script with alternate config directory 
specification:


-env:UserInstallation=file:///home/you/.openoffice/4

Is this for an alternate user profile?

That way Linux testers wouldn't need to integrate with the system
similar to Windows users having the option of an administrative install.

I've tested sharing a build from CentOS 7  to Ubuntu 18 and CentOS 8
without any noticeable issues.
It seems the user profile is kept in a sub-directory so I like that also.

I didn't know if this had been tried before or if there is a downside.

After a build I copy the office out to a new directory and then copy the
SDK into it.

$ mkdir /AOO450
$ cp -r
/openoffice/main/instsetoo_native/unxlngx6.pro/Apache_OpenOffice/installed/install/en-US/openoffice4

$ cp -r
/openoffice/main/instsetoo_native/unxlngx6.pro/Apache_OpenOffice_SDK/installed/install/en-US/openoffice4/sdk
/AOO450/openoffice4/

Then the openoffice4 dir gets archived from there.
Users could unpack and test then delete.

Thanks,

Thanks for the link. I haven't ran across this before.

Actually when you build with config option --with-package-format 
"installed" instead of "rpm deb" you get the directory layout and 
embedded user profile without all that work.

That's what I suggest building and sharing for quick testing.

Thanks again.

There is this mwiki page for doing just what you are asking:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Run_OOo_versions_parallel#Installing_3..2A_versions_.28three_layer_OpenOffice.org.29.
It is marked as outdated and may need some updating. As I do not use
Linux I have never tried it myself.
