I'd file a bug report. It sounds as if the Mandriva builds are missing
that option while other debian based distro's do.

For future reference: the install files are under 'Get Help' (seems odd
that there is no link to this on the Download page
).

http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/
  "Installation instructions: Visit the installation instructions page
for detailed step-by-step instructions for installing LibreOffice on
your operating system (Windows, Macintosh and GNU/Linux)."
  http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/installation/
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/installation/linux/
Note: step 3 of "Installation of LibreOffice on Debian/Ubuntu-based
Linux systems" still (incorrectly) assumes that the user has somehow
magically installed 'nautilus-open-terminal' which is _not_ a default
nautilus package (it's in the universe repository). Further, the user
may not even be using nautilus at all. And yes, this has been discussed
on this & the discussion list in the past.

Actually, using the -R (recursive) option can create issues if you have
multiple versions of LO installed. For example; I wish to use LO 3.3 as
a primary & so I do install from desktop-integration for that. However,
I also have 3.4.x installed & don't really want those menu items to take
over the 3.3 menu items, so instead I create a menu launcher to the 3.4
general launcher and do not install the 3.4 desktop-integration .deb.

Also, be aware that if you forget to capitalize the '-R' and instead put
'-r' you can run into issues.
'-r' is for:
 -r, --remove, -P, --purge package...|-a|--pending
see: man dpkg

Wow... I wish that I hadn't shredded all of my old Windows CD's &

Fully agree. That is why I thought it better to wait until you folks
(very nice work BTW) get the existing version/conversion settled first.

Again, I wish that I still had my original CD & license. I do have
working, legal, copies of the installed program in two virtual machines
running WinXP, but I doubt that would be of much use? I'll see if I can
find one elsewhere.

Hi :)
There is no need to apologise.  You are doing fine for this list.  Not many 
programs handle desktop-integration in this particular way.  Also any question 
you have is likely to be confusing someone else.  A thread in the archives can 
be helpful to other people in the future.  

So, it's all good :)  Congrats on fixing the issue!

Tom :)

My only - lame - excuse is that I followed slavishly the instructions in

I never used the "-iR"
It is not listed that way in the Linux install documentation, or it did 
not the last time I copied the instructions from LO's site.

2012-01-21 Thread webmaster for Kracked Press Productions 


If you really need to read Visio, the free package of Dia does a good 
job, or so I have been told.  I has Visio on one system till MS disabled 
it when they bought it out and now wanted me to pay them for the new 
version.  After that, I could never get it running on a system with MSO 
2002/2003 or newer.  I did a large network project using Visio before 
MSO killed me.  Now I would use Dia if I need a Visio type of system 
with all its libraries.


SO
I wonder if the people at Dia would have any input filters that would be 
useful to LO to support the older Visio files?

They've contributed quite a lot of work:

and at this point introducing:

/Samples/Network Diagram$ file "Basic Wide Area Network Diagram.VSD"
Basic Wide Area Network Diagram.VSD: CDF V2 Document, Little Endian, Os:

into the picture probably wouldn't be appreciated. I think it better to
let them get the current code settled before asking for support of 15
year old Visio Technical v5.0 code/diagram-format.

I would not mind to try to support Visio 5.0 file-format. Nevertheless a 
collection of documents is not enough for us to understand how the file-format 
is working.

You know that there is no documentation whatsoever for the binary file-formats, 
so what we need is an application that is generating those documents so that we 
can experiment with it.

So, the deal is: Get to me a pre-Microsoft Visio that generates version 5 
diagrams natively and I will do my best to add that file-format to libvisio.

For the time being, though, only MS Visio 2000 and later is supported.

What you say may be true for some email clients, but definitely not for all.
I'm one of those who have no use for HTML so HTML codes are stripped out as
it comes in, but the content, including links, is preserved. I just have to
double click the link to make it work.

It's not exactly something they currently work on. On the other hand, 
they have a recent very positive experience with someone who helped to 
get great performance improvement in another area:

You may get the hint: i you are in need for 18000 annotations and are

How does that sound ? Maybe it looks way to complicated. But reading the

Hi :)

I agreed with NoOp once he had explained the situation.  Being able to
read a 12year old undocumented and proprietary format is impressive enough.  
There are a lot of other interesting challenges out there :)

I would not mind to try to support Visio 5.0 file-format. Nevertheless a 
collection of documents is not enough for us to understand how the file-format 
is working.

You know that there is no documentation whatsoever for the binary file-formats, 
so what we need is an application that is generating those documents so that we 
can experiment with it.

So, the deal is: Get to me a pre-Microsoft Visio that generates version 5 
diagrams natively and I will do my best to add that file-format to libvisio.

For the time being, though, only MS Visio 2000 and later is supported.

Cheers

Fridrich

You are right, known problem, but it seems that it is not so easy to do
with the current code which produces the installer.
As a workaround, you do not need to disable the unwanted dictionnaries
one by one. Firstly disable all dictionnaries in one click then click on
the + in front of dictionnary item to develop the list and enable only
the dictionnaries you want to install.

It does for me, and my Thunderbird is set to plain text by default.

In fact the email you sen was received as plain text and the links at

it doesn't work for you, you could always switch to a MUA that does.

Howdy Joep,

In the directory where you installed the *.DEB packages from you will
also find the directory 'desktop-integration', switch into this
directory and re-issue the same dpkg -i command - the menu shortcuts
will be all setup for you.

HTH and best wishes,

[libreoffice-users] problem installing in xubuntu

2012-01-21 Thread Joep L. Blom 
I got the version LO 3.4.5 from the official Lo site 
(LibO_3.4.5_Linux_x86-64_helppack-deb_nl.tar.gz).
I installed it using sud dpkg -i *.DEB (after unpacking and going to the 
correct directory.

It installed correct in /opt/libreoffice.
However no links were placed in Applications/Office. The only method to 
run soffice or writer is to go into the /opt/libreoffice/program 
directory and start from there.
How do I get the Applications/Office tab populated? and why doesn't it 
work automatically.

OS: Ubuntu 10.04 (LTS) with xfce windowmanager;
CPU: AMD-PhenomII (4-core 64-bit) 4GB mem.
I didn't install from the official Ubuntu repository as that is retarded 
((3.3.2). I assume that Ubuntu 11.10 has a more recent version but A: I 
don't like Unity and B: I always stick to LTS for a production machine.

Hope anybody can clarify.

I am not sure, but I don't think there is a way to make found words or
phrased converted to italic, but this seems to at least remove the
{{}}:
Search for: \{\{(.+)\}\}
Replace with: $1

This also seemed to work:
Search for: \{{([^\}]+)\}}
Replace with: $1

But converting to italic? I don't know. I know you can search for
certain format attributes, like italic, but not how to replace one
attribute with another,
Well, unless you want to write a macro, of course.

[libreoffice-users] Re: How to enter Dates in a format to allow the counting of days lapsed between a "from a date" cell and a "to a date' cell

2012-01-21 Thread Andreas Säger 

Am 19.01.2012 09:27, MSwhip wrote:

I am interested in learning how to enter dates in cells in a format that
would allow me to calculate number of days lapsed between a "from date" and
a "to date" entered in 2 different cells.

Could anyone please help

Thank you



Date entry works almost independently from cell formatting. The one and 
only crucial setting is the *number format locale*. By default this is 
the same as in Tools>Options>Languages...
12/4 entered in a spreadsheet cell should always give 12th of April in 
this year ...

... unless the locale is US English. Then you get 4th of December.
... unless the number format is of category "Text". Then you get a 
literal text value of 4 characters "12/4".
... unless the number format is of category "Fraction". Then you get a 
cell value of 3.
... unless the number format is of category "Percent" which results in a 
text value "12/4%" which won't evaluate to 3%.


*Any other* number format setting will enter the *correct value* 41011 
or 41247 which is the day number of 2012-04-12 or US English 2012-12-04 
respectively.


12/ entered into a cell gives the 12th day of the current month, even 
with US English locale. 12th day of January 2012 is day number 40920 
when you apply some decimal format.
40920 is *exactly the same value* as formatted numbers 2012-01-12, 
12/1/2012, 1/12/2012(US), 4092000%, and thousands of other formattings 
of that very same number.
However, the 5-digit text "40920" is a completely different value and so 
are the character sequences "2012-01-12", "12/1/2012", "1/12/2012"(US) 
and "4092000%"
All spreadsheet formulas ignore the entire formatting thing. They 
perform all arithmetics with numbers and nothing but numbers.
Once a cell has a value (number or text, calculated or entered), no 
formatting attribute will ever change that value, no color, no border, 
no font, nor number format. This is a true feature and all this is not 
Calc specific.
