Malware from email with title "Security alert: Verify your libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org"

2018-05-08 Thread Simos Xenitellis 
Hi All,

There was an email that was sent to this mailing list the other day,
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2018-May/080137.html

I did not see anyone commenting on this, therefore here we go.

It was some malware campaign, trying to get any recipients to click their link.
The email was asking users to click a link to "verify" some account information.

That link though was hosted on a website called silkenwindhounds.org
which has to do with some breed of dogs. Apparently, that website was
compromised.
The problem is that the scripts on that website are still active and
if anyone clicks on the link,
they are redirected through links to other websites that probably try
to exploit web browser bugs.

Is anyone dealing with this?

You need to contact http://www.silkenwindhounds.org/ that the
following two scripts are malware:
/content/late-code/index.php
/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi (clever trick that does redirection, if
they are happy that the HTTP request is from an actual browser.
Otherwise, it just pretends that the website is suspended in order not
to draw suspicion).

I am a bit uncomfortable with the tone. It could have been more to the

This appears to be a user-contributed template.
As far I as I know, LibreOffice can open those .xlsx files.
Do you have evidence that the .xlsx file was created with Microsoft Office?

 Hi Libreoffice developers,

 I was reading news about Sourceforge is hijacking nmap page in Sourceforge.

 When I listed the page owned by user sf-editor1, it looks like LibreOffice
 page and installer was also hijacked.


And Sourceforge staff actively add installation packages to the download
page at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libreoffice.mirror/files/

According to
https://sourceforge.net/blog/third-party-offers-will-be-presented-with-opt-in-projects-only/
those third-party offers are now opt-in.
Still, their actions do not justify confidence.

There are about 300-400 downloads for the latest version.

It makes sense to
1. Reclaim the LibreOffice project on SourceForge so that it no longer

2. Properly decommission the SourceForge project page.

The page https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development has the building
(source code compilation) instructions for Linux, OS/X or Windows.
Your first step is to setup your computer in order to build LibreOffice
from source code. The first compilation may take a few hours, depending on
the computer. You must go through this, and verify that the
freshly-compiled LibreOffice works. When you then make small changes to the
source code, the new compilation will be much faster, such as a few minutes
or less.

Then, if you are not already familiar with the source code management tool
called 'git', try for example http://try.github.io/
'Git' is very important, because you can change a bit of code, compile
again, and if it does not work, you can easily go back to the working state
you had in the beginning. If the change works, 'Git' will help you to
generate the changes/patch to send here.

There are many bug reports that require just a few lines of code, but they
are still pending because it takes some effort to set up the build
environment and compile for each case. If you go through the general
Bugzilla list or the EasyHacks list, you can find several of them.

Welcome to the development mailing list for LibreOffice!

I suppose you already followed the instructions at

joining this mailing list).

The first part is to configure your computer so that it is able to
build LibreOffice.
Then, complete the first build of LibreOffice from source code, where
you can test it out that it works.
Subsequently, you can have a look at the easy hacks at
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development
and attempt to solve at least one of them.
As a member of the mailing list, you can follow discussions and

will be back soon.
I would like to try it out.

My concern with jforum2 is that it is different from other popular

Christian should make sure that he trains more admins into this forum software.

Whether a forum works or not, depends on the first few months. There
should be several volunteers that help out so that new users find
quality answers soon.

Some questions will be repeated, so the volunteers will try to write
them down in a HowTo post or a Wiki page. Do not count that there will
always be volunteers to answer the same question repeatedly. Does not
scale.
Something that we do at our local forum is have a HowTo section that
we add there good solutions to common problems, then pinpoint new
users to check there.
A good solution is needed here.

I highly recommend to get new users for the forum to accept a Code of
Conduct such as
http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2012/09/27/code-of-conduct-v2-request-for-feedback/
This will help the volunteers to deal with fights, etc.

In order to motivate users, some forum software have the facility to
say thanks to a good reply. Such a facility will be good to have.

 Hi,
 Thank you for your suggestion. Do you have further information about
 the licensing of that font?

 The only external information about ecofont licensing that I could
 dig up is here at debian:
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=509594

 I looked at the EcoFont FAQ, but most of their licensing information
 seems to be for per-site or per-seat arrangements:
 http://www.ecofont.com/en/help/ecofont/faq/0022.html

 For LibreOffice to consider the inclusion of a font, it will need to
 be available under terms compatible with the project's licensing:
 http://www.libreoffice.org/download/license/

 The EcoFont toner-saving concept is pretty nifty. If the licensing can
 be straightened-out, it's definitely worth considering for inclusion.


Their font is based on Bitstream Vera,
http://www-old.gnome.org/fonts/
which has full information + FAQ about licensing.

You can ask them if they are happy to have Ecofont bundled with LibreOffice.
If they are not happy, then we have the right to get the font and rename to
something else (per license).

My only concern with this is the glyph coverage. The old Bitstream Vera
font covered partially the basic Latin
Unicode blocks. Due to this, the DejaVu project took Bitstream Vera and
added full Latin, Cyrillic and Greek, and many more Unicode blocks (see
http://www.unicode.org/charts and http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page ).

Re: [Libreoffice] git howto question

2011-11-14 Thread Simos Xenitellis 
Sometimes people forget the '-r' parameter in 'git pull -r' so it is
suggested to create an alias,

git config --global alias.up pull --rebase


(you run this command and the alias is added to your ~/.gitconfig
configuration file).
Then, you run

git up

whenever you want to updated your local repository with changes from the
main LibreOffice Git repository.

Without the '-r' or '--rebase' you may get into a situation when you create
a branch at the main LibreOffice Git repository, which in most cases is not
what you want. Hence, the '--rebase' parameter.

Is there a Wiki page somewhere at
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development that would be recommended to
add in some basic Git commands? Point to an existing page or recommend a

 If many of the bugs are just different symptoms for an underlying general

 would be to have some RTL knowledgeable developer go through the GUI and fix

 Or is the GUI in general nicely RTL-aware, with just occasional details here

For RTL GUI issues, it is important to involve people from other RTL
scripts, such as Arabic and Farsi.
Therefore, when trying to get attention for the RTL GUI issues,
mention the affected scripts by name.
This should help in getting qualified people with the programming
skills to get involved and help fix the issues.

Since you use a recent mainstream distribution, you can take advantage

 Hi Pantelis,

 Please, could you attach a screen copy of a numbered list with greek

 Indeed it is not clear for non greek speakers who want try this feature

 from position 11.


I updated the bug report with a PDF document that demonstrates the
Greek numbers.
It is a document that I originally created in Greek.

The number 6 is στ in Greek. In ancient Greek there used to be some other
(single) character which is now obscure to modern Greeks. In modern
Greek, people know

Re: [Libreoffice] OneGit(tm) migration plan

 The fact that our source is spread among 20 git repositories has been
 a source of grief and quite a common complaint from people joining the
 project.

 Recently there ave been some tests conducted to see if having just one
 big git repo would be viable from a performace stand-point.

 Björn Michaelsen did some preliminarily measurement  that indicated
 that it would be bearable, and this has been discussed few times
 during Technical Steering Committee's conference calls.
 The consensus emerging is that the benefit outweigh the cost.

 I have been working on setting-up a concrete plan on how to do this migration.

 I have put what I have come-up with so far on our Wiki
 http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/One_Git_Conversion


I got slightly different figures for the .git/ of each repository.
Instead of 1666MB total, I got 1350MB.
You may have to run 'git gc' on your repositories.
I got the 1350MB figure by testing with fresh clones.
Tell me if you want me to update the wiki page with these figures.

Simos

 This is still a work in progress, and there are small and full scale
 test to be conducted.
 Planning and exact deployment plan are also very much a work in progress.

 Never-the-less the general idea is to try to do this migration sightly
 after 3.4.2, so roughly in the August 2011 time-frame.

 Comments and suggestion are welcomed on the 'Discussion Page'
 associated in the Wiki.

 Please do not  do substantial change to the main page without
 discussing it first. (fixing my horrible English spelling/grammar is
 fine, of course :-) )

 Yep, very possible... but these number are mostly to get an idea of
 the order of magnitude...

 Hmm, this is interesting. ;)

 The build I'm hacking here is from Mar 26, when I tested it with a newer
 master (3 days old), I get a different behaviour: --conver-to does not
 initiate any conversion at all:

 ~/git/libreoffice/master/install/program$ ./soffice.bin --nologo --convert-to 
 doc --outdir /home/vmiklos /home/vmiklos/hello.rtf --headless
 ~/git/libreoffice/master/install/program$ ls ~/hello.doc
 /usr/bin/ls: cannot access /home/vmiklos/hello.doc: No such file or directory

 In case I omit --headless, the GUI starts up fine, but there are still
 no conversion.

 The patch looks non-intrusive and if it works it should be good -
 assuming you have made sure that lo is not running in the background
 after issuing the command.

 Sure, no running instance in the background.

 What version is running fine for you?


I tried LibreOffice 3.4 (pre-release) and it works with 'csv' to 'ods'
conversion,
as described in http://www.mail-archive.com/users@libreoffice.org/msg03444.html

./soffice.bin --headless --convert-to ods /tmp/test.csv
convert /tmp/test.csv - /opt/libreoffice/program/test.ods using calc8
Overwriting: /opt/libreoffice/program/test.ods

(in my case I still have the encoding issues described in the above URL).

 Maybe something is wrong with the RTF export filter registration?

 I'll try to have a look at it (I'm not yet familiar with this new
 passive registration stuff).


The encoding bug that I mentioned earlier in LibreOffice headless has
now a bugzilla report,
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36313

I am not familiar on how filters work. If you have give a high-level
description (which files to look into), it would be great. I assume
that both bugs are similar.

 Hello list,
 This is Sourava. I have a problem with the build process.
 when I give the ./autogen.sh --with-num-cpus=6 --with-max-jobs=6
 --without-junit command, it checks all the process and ends with
 configure: error: Xaw include headers not found.
 Later when I give the make fetch command, I get an error make: *** No
 rule to make target `fetch'.  Stop.
 I tried the above build configuration process, even with cpus = 2 and jobs =
 2, and repeated the process, I get the same error, for the make.
 I use, fedora OS.


Hi,

The error message says configure: error: Xaw include headers not found.
What this means is that you need to install some development packages
for your Linux distribution so that 'autogen.sh' is able to configure
your build.
If you do not resolve this problem (that is, run autogen.sh until it manages
to configure your build without errors), you will not be able to
compile LibreOffice,
and all other commands that you try will fail.

So, what do you need to do with configure: error: Xaw include headers
not found?
Start the package manager of your distribution and search for packages that
contain the 'Xaw' string. Identify the development packages for Xaw and install.
Then, run autogen.sh until it manages to configure your build. Then,
you can continue
with the next command in the build instructions.

(For Ubuntu, the package is called 'libxaw7-dev'. Might be similar to Fedora.)

 Thx for the heads-up, fixed now.


Also, the URL

Apparently, the file LibO_3.3.2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz

 Rebuilding it again could mean a risk that the final will have a bug

So, the .deb files are the correct ones, the issue is just with the
directory name
that was not renamed appropriately?

 Hi!

 This is a patch originally developed against openoffice in summer 2009
 that has not yet been accepted due to, in my opinion, purely bureocratic
 reasons / lack of interest from main devs
 (see http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91143 and particularly
 the dates of comments) although it is something that the Greek community
 wants.

 I 'm hoping that Libre Office will be more friendly and if not merge
 at least review :)


Hi Pantelis,

I tried recently to apply the original patch to LibreOffice, and did
not apply cleanly.
After several attempts, I managed to get it to apply, but I got some issues
with the numbering, which I describe at
http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91143#c19 (comment #19).

Therefore, can you verify that the issue I got at
http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91143#c19 is not
exhibited anymore?

The Greek mailing lists are active, available at
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Local_Mailing_Lists#Greek
We mentioned the Greek bullet points issue at
http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/el/discuss/msg00018.html

Thanks for taking up this issue and doing all the work.
