This problem hasn't been solved, but I did find a work-around.  The problem I 
was trying to address with spadmin was to change the default printing language 
from pdf to postscript.  I didn't think reading the man page was going to 
solve my problem, so I didn't persue that possibility.  Instead, I have just 
created templates with the postcript as the default.  That seems to work.
It would be nice to know why spadmin doesn't run, however.

I tried the 'send-to-email' and evolution is not installed so thats not 
working either.
Additionally I want to batch these processes in the end, I was just 
trying to get something that works.


I also just tried this:
soffice -headless -convert-to swf animation.ppt

While that converts it, I have to click on the screen to get it to advance.
How can I get past that?
I have auto transiltion in 5 seconds set.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Find and replace graphics

[Andrew Douglas Pitonyak]

It all seems so difficult..

If you have a write document, run this macro and remove ALL graphic objects

Sub RemoveAllGraphics
  Dim i As Integer
  Dim oGraphic

  If ThisComponent.GraphicObjects.getCount() = 0 Then
Exit Sub
  End If

  For i = ThisComponent.GraphicObjects.getCount() - 1 To 0 Step -1
oGraphic = ThisComponent.GraphicObjects.getByIndex(i)
oGraphic.Dispose()
  Next
End Sub

[libreoffice-users] Re: Sun dll shlxthdl and windows explorer.exe crash

[V Stuart Foote]

Probably related to the LibreOffice's Windows Explorer extension

Most issues fixed with 3.6.1 build.

Ref these bugzilla reports: 

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52078
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53533

Install a current Java JRE and LO 3.6.1 and should resolve.

[libreoffice-users] Sun dll shlxthdl and windows explorer.exe crash

[Heikki Jussila]

Hi,

Today something strange happend to me. All of the sudden explorer.exe di
Windows (in VISTA) started to crash in an intervall of approximately 20
seconds.

I finally found out that the reason was a crash of shlxthdl.dll of Sun
Microsystems, which I found from the program directories of LO 3.6

However, the funny or problematic issue was that this crash occured only on
my main user profile and not on the other profile that I had on this
machine, even changing the user to (normal) did not help. I made new clean
profiles.

This issue came after I had updated from 3.5.5 to 3.6 version (3.6.0.104 to
be exact at least according to the SUN dll). The problem continued also
sporadically in new profiles (especially with the one with admin rights). I
finally had to uninstall LO 3.6 (and the leftovers of 3.5) and the problems
have now gone away.

I wonder what could be the reason for this since LO did not start at boot
time so it could not have been that, and was not used at the time. Could it
be that LO needs JAVA for some operations and those run in anycase?

I did have JAVA at the time of first install of LO 3.3 something, but I
uninstalled it and did not have any problems with versions prior to 3.6.

Heikki Jussila

 I believe that Tom and I were talking about LibreOffice on Windows. I 
have a 64 bit computer which had VISTA running until I replace that with 
Ubuntu. But LO does not have a 64 bit LO version which I thought was the 
train of thought.

Yes - I am refering to Impress.

That is what  I did, File, Export, select Macromedia Flash, enter my 
filename, do save, it shows a progress bar likes it doing it, I get a 
file,  - but when I play the file it is ONLY one slide. It never moves

Should would like to have this work??? Am I doing something wrong ?

[libreoffice-users] 3.6.1 dictionary installs (.deb) fail & bork dpkg/apt-get

[NoOp]

Yesterday in the 'Update to 3.6.1' thread I installed 3.6.1 (debian
files) on 32bit and 64bit systems. Both experienced installations errors:


Errors were encountered while processing:
 libreoffice3.6-dict-en_3.6.1.2-2_amd64.deb
 libreoffice3.6-dict-es_3.6.1.2-2_amd64.deb
 libreoffice3.6-dict-fr_3.6.1.2-2_amd64.deb
(and on 32bit deb as well).

To make things worse, when attempting to update an Opera browser today I
found out that the above were completely broken & couldn't be purged in
any normal fashion. Went searching and came across this bug reports:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54202 - open
[Error while installing Dutch Linux Deb (x64) main installer with
command dpkg -i *]
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41290 - closed as dupe of 41237
[dictionaries do not install in daily builds as of 28/9/2011]
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41237 - closed
[Installation of dictionaries failed with
""/singletons/com.sun.star.deployment.ExtensionManager": loading

I was finally able to clean my systems (see:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54202#c3 ), but still have
not been able to install the dictionaries. I may have found the problem:


$ debdiff libreoffice3.6-dict-en_3.6.0.4-104_i386.deb
libreoffice3.6-dict-en_3.6.1.2-2_i386.deb
[The following lists of changes regard files as different if they have
different names, permissions or owners.]

Files in first .deb but not in second
-
-rwxr-xr-x  root/root   DEBIAN/postinst
-rwxr-xr-x  root/root   DEBIAN/postrm

Control files: lines which differ (wdiff format)

Installed-Size: [-26208-] {+26224+}
Version: [-3.6.0.4-104-] {+3.6.1.2-2+}

Has anyone else experience the same issue with the .deb install?

Re: [libreoffice-users] help exporting to macromedia flash

[anne-ology]

   Are you referring to Impress?; if so, then when you finish making
the document (as I assume you have) click on the file tab (where you go to
save your document) then below that option is the option to send to
[various options]; click on the option you desire -
the only one I've found to work without flaws is to send to
e-mail; this will open up an e-mail program with your file attached - just
copy that attachment and save it to your machine's folder the close the
opened e-mail program.

   Hoping this helps,

Re: [libreoffice-users] Norton AntiVirus / poll

[libreoffice-users] help exporting to macromedia flash

[Jerry Geis]

I am using libreoffice 3.4.5 on linux x86-64

I am wishing to export a simple PPT to macromedia flash.
All I ever see is the first slide of the PPT,
the PPT plays fine in auto advances and all that.

Am i not doing something right? how do I get it to output
all slides and not just the first?

Thank you.


 The User Guides for LO have what you want already. The answer is to
use styles.
 Open the Styles and Formatting window (use F11 to do this). When it
opens, right click Heading 2 and select Modify. Click the Border tab. You
want to create a bottom border by clicking below the gray square in the
User defined window. Select the thickness (width) for the line and the
color you want to use. If you have a preference as to the type of line
used, select that also. Click OK. This should do it.

--Dan

Can you not also highlight the H2 text, right click, edit paragraph style
and then set the bottom border rather than opening the styles window (less
scary for a new user).
steve


 Yes you can: it is the same dialog that opens. I have been using F11 
to open the Styles and Formatting window since OOo 1.0.3 or before. So, it 
is no longer scary. And yes, I have made quite a few errors in that time. 
But, I just change the settings back. No big deal. I have even learned to 
dock this window on the left side of the OOo, AOO, or LO window.
 They say practice makes perfect. Well, this is not completely true. 
Practicing doing something the right way will result in remarkable progress 
though.
 If you are fairly new to LO, then I would definitely recommend your 
getting the Getting Started Guide. Spend some time in the Writer chapter 
looking for things that would help you. Practice these things in some spare 
time. And if you want more detailed information, get the Writer Guide. Then 
look at specific areas you think you might need. Time then form some more 
practice. You can do similar things with the other chapters of the Getting 
Started Guide when you have time.
 I use the Styles and Formatting window extensively changing paragraph 
and character styles as needed, sometimes several times in one line of text.

Re: [libreoffice-users] What is the status of Java security vs. LibreOffice?

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Even though both openJRE and standard java are both run by Oracle it seems that 
openJRE tends to be a bit safer.  Possibly something to do with running it 
through a community in a more OpenSource way.

Re: [libreoffice-users] What is the status of Java security vs. LibreOffice?

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
It's the same old story.  


"All this has happened before and will happen again"  (any Battlestar Galactica 
fans out there?).  


Oracle tell us all that their new version of java is ultra safe and really is 
safe this time and that all their previous versions are horribly flawed and 
likely to cause widespread plagues and death etc to anyone that continues to 
use them.  Then their new "ultra safe" one is found to also have horrible flaws 
in it.  


As it happens it seems very few people actually seem to suffer or at least we 
never hear of it.  Still we keep advising people to update to the most recent 
possible version but to try avoiding it completely if they can.  For us the 
1.6_32 is currently the most usable as the 1.7 has never really worked well 
with LO.  


As time goes on it seems that java is compromised faster and faster.  Each new 
release lasting less and less time until some horror story emerges.   Their 1.7 
branch was supposed to be their best ever taking the whole thing to a new 
plateau of rock solid stability and sfaety but the 1st 4 versions got 
compromised even before release!  


Meanwhile the TDF devs working on LO have removed just about all dependancy on 
java.  There are still a few Wizards and Extensions that need it and, of 
course, the database program (but only if you use the internal embedded 
back-end) and all the Accessibility stuff.

So, the User List stance is to try to get people to try not using Java at all 
but if they do need it to use the one that does work with LO - which i don't 
think has been compromised just yet although that's probably just because it 
hasn't reached the mainstream media yet because it's considered an 'old' 
version even though it was released after the latest in the 1.7 branch.  


Regards from
Tom :)

AFAIK Java is primarily used by the embedded Base engine and possibly
some extensions. If you use a non-Java database (MySQL, Postgres,
MariaDB, etc) that does not use Java you do not need Java.

The security problems are Java problems and are not OS or app related
and can affect any computer running the unpatched Java version(s). My
understanding is the transmission is likely via rogue or corrupted
websites that use Java rather than via a downloaded Java app.

I do not know if this issue affects the openJRE project.

This article already explains it:
"Those who need Java to run applications such as Open Office or Freemind can 
still protect themselves by disabling Java in their browser to prevent drive-
by attacks on booby-trapped websites."

Until patch is provided, it might be wise to not open office documents from 
uncertain source (that is: all but your own). Most likely it is not needed, 
but it won't harm.

 The User Guides for LO have what you want already. The answer is 
to use styles.
 Open the Styles and Formatting window (use F11 to do this). When 
it opens, right click Heading 2 and select Modify. Click the Border 
tab. You want to create a bottom border by clicking below the gray 
square in the User defined window. Select the thickness (width) for 
the line and the color you want to use. If you have a preference as to 
the type of line used, select that also. Click OK. This should do it.


--Dan
Can you not also highlight the H2 text, right click, edit paragraph 
style and then set the bottom border rather than opening the styles 
window (less scary for a new user).

[libreoffice-users] What is the status of Java security vs. LibreOffice?

[Fabian Rodriguez]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi all

I saw this a few days ago, I'd like to know what should I make of it?:
http://arstechnica.com/security/2012/08/critical-flaw-under-active-attack-prompts-calls-to-disable-java/

I never install Java when I install LibreOffice, but a few people end up
installing it.

I have seen a few threads about it in the fr-discuss list, but nothing
clear/concise (although I may have missed a post or two).

Thanks for any information.

Cheers,

Fabian Rodriguez

Code has been contributed yesterday, but it awaits review. Eike Rathke (guy 
responsible for this change) hopes that it will be incorporated in 3.6.3.

You can see status and patch here:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/511

Let's hope it will be in 3.6.3. Until then, users depending on this certain 
feature should stick with 3.5 line.
By the way: there will be at least one more release of 3.5, scheduled for mid-
October.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Find and replace graphics

timecode wrote:

Hello Community,

I have a problem with LibreOffice Writer (3.5.4.2) I just can't figure out.

I save copies of essays from a scientific database. This database adds a
little graphic to each footnote. I want to erase all these graphics from my
documents. But how can I do that?

Is there an option that enables me to select all identical objects within
the document after I selected one?


Any help will be much appreciated!


Best regards,
timecode


 The answer may be easier than I had thought. But first of all I am 
still confused as to how the scientific database creates the ODT that has 
all of the essays and footnotes. Is this a report?
 The answer may depend upon the use of styles, specifically the style 
used for the footnotes. Open the document with the footnotes. Click one of 
the words in one of the footnotes. Use the F11 key to open the Styles and 
Formatting window. Then change Automatic to All in the drop down list at 
the bottom of this window. You should see a style highlighted. If so, right 
click it and select Modify. Then click the Background tab. If, I am 
correct, the graphic arrow is located here. If so, change Graphic to Color 
in the drop down list in the upper left corner of the Paragraph dialog. 
Click OK.
 Otherwise, could you send me a copy of the ODT in question? (off 
list) I would like to look at it to see what are the styles used in it.

If there are no other graphic elements that you want to be shown, you can
comletely disable graphic display (Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > View >
Display)


> Is there an option that enables me to select all identical objects within

If you want to jump from graphics to graphics for deleting, you can use the
Navigator (F5). It's not ideal, but a bit quicker than manual navigation.

[timecode]

Hello,

indeed, I'm dealing with linked graphics. I also took a look at the xml file
and found the correspondent references. I don't think it will be worth the
effort editing all those xml files, since I got quite some essays with a
zillion footnotes each.


But thanks a lot for your help!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Pivottable/Chart Compatibility in Calc 3.6 with Excel 2002

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Were you able to resolve this issue?  Did you get any decent answers from the 
Users List?  If not then it might be good to ask again now.  Sometimes people 
just need time to mull over questions but by then they have forgotten what they 
were mulling over as there are constant distractions.  Also new people join the 
lists all the time and everyone has different experience in different areas.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Find and replace graphics

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Ouch!  Xml is not pretty unless you can open it in a text-editor that allows 
you to chooose a colour-coding option.  SCiTe is good and i've heard good 
reports of Notepad++ but normal straight Notepad would be useless.  In Gedit i 
found something in the status-bar that said "Plain text" and clicking on it 
gave a long list of different programming languages and even included 
html/css.  Choosing changed the colour of all the coding brackets to different 
colours that helps me pick-out the bits i need to focus on.

Tom :)

 Thanks for that dirty trick! :-) But unfortunately it didn't work. I made a

 Have you checked to see if the arrow is a linked graphic? (Edit -> 
Links) This is a possibility. But there are going to be additional problems 
even if the arrow is a linked graphic. Even after removing all pictures and 
thumbnails, the document will have a read error message.
 What has to be done is to open context.xml. Then remove all 
references to where the arrow graphic is located in the text document.

That's the goal of LibrePlanet Haïti: get local help/exposure for such
projects. Internet access is not widespread, though, so collaboration
via mailing list/online is not as effective and quick as elsewhere. The
same work that can be done for LibO will be happening for other
projects, so I hope to get more people connected via LP Haiti and take
it from there. Above all, I hope someone local leads that :)

the parts not needed and adding those that are. I have been told that
other "groups" have done that over the past year or so since the NA-DVD
has been online.

Of course, but given the limited resources and time, translating all of
it to Creole is impractical, if even possible.
Even updating the current systems and LibreOffice or having up-to-date
installers will prove challenging.

Howdy,

I already tried deleting this folder, but to no avail. Maybe the images
are in the content.xml?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [3.5.3.2/Writer] H2 = underline until right margin?

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Nothing beats personal targetted advice from an expert!   Thanks Dan! :)   The 
Styles chapter scared me too so my RTFM answer was particularly bad, on at 
least 2 counts.  

However when i did eventually get around to reading it i found it enourmously 
useful and deeply regret not having read it earlier as it would have saved me 
hours of work and would have pushed me into using LO sooner (again saving me 
hours of struggling with MSO's lack of finesse with images).

Thanks and regards form
Tom :)

It works, but it's a bit cumbersome so I ended up copy/pasting the first
title and replaced all the other H2 items.

Thank you.


 Time: let me see ... Chapter 3 is all of 24 pages long. One the top 
of the second page (Copyright page) is the style you seem to be wanting. 
Using the F11 key to open the Styles and Formatting window and change 
Automatic to All Styles at the bottom of it. Then click the Copyright 
heading. OOoHeading 1 will be highlighter. Right click it and select Modify 
from the context menu. You now have in front of you a dialog containing all 
the properties contained in the OOoHeading 1. You have 12 tabs with these 
properties.
 Now how much time would this take? Not nearly as much time as 
"reading the whole document for this".
 I do have one advantage over you. I write some of the documents for 
LO. So, I have taken the time to learn how to do things using styles. I 
have a copy of the Complete Writer Guide which I use as a reference once in 
a while. I also look at the properties of a style once in a while to see 
what they are. I then put this knowledge to work for me. I now have my own 
personal outline numbering styles based upon the works of others.
 If you are going to be using Writer extensively, you might want to 
get the Writer Guide as well. It is a good reference "book". Control+H will 
help you search for specifics so you don't have to read "the whole 
document" for any particular question.

Re: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 3.6 Calc Problem / ~lock

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
The point was that if you open the same document twice and make tons of changes 
to 1 version but then for some reason end up saving the 2nd copy and not the 
one you edited then you lose all your changes.  

Even if there is only 1 person using the system the chances are still quite 
high of such a thing occuring and so OOo developed a way around it.  It rarely 
goes wrong and if/when it does it's easy to fix and doesn't result in a loss of 
data.  Not having a ~lock file would often result in a loss of data if a 
problem occurred.

Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Rel. 3.6.1 and Norton AntiVirus

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Yes, as other people are saying (with varying degrees of paranoia) antiviruses 
do have a lot of false positives.  It's like having a guard dog and then 
grumbling because it barks.  

A better course is to congratulate it on succesfully blocking something from 
installing (ie doing it's job) and then switch it off, do the install and then 
switch it on again.   

As 1 person said it's wise to unplug the network cable or switch off your 
router (if at home) so that you have no internet connection while the antivirus 
is off but at that level of paranoia i would recommend just not using Windows 
in the first place.  With Windows you just have to accept that your system is 
not secure [shrugs] and that to some extent you are always going to have to 
just trust to luck.  It's wise to minimise that where it's reasonably 
possible.  Unplugging a network cable might not be easy but if it is then it's 
worth doing.  

People say that Windows is easier but then forget that they have to struggle 
through this sort of thing.  Other systems have different struggles.  
Regards from
Tom :)

At Tools → Macros → Record macro.

But first you must go Tools → Options → LibreOffice → General and check "Enable

Restarting LO is not needed.

This option has been disabled by default because macro recorder has never 
worked reliably. Users are encouraged to write macros themselves.

   HUH ???

   Whenever the document is saved, it's saved ... when the file(s) are
re-opened the saved document appears;
  if it's been saved with a different name - as adding 2 ... - then
there are more than 1 copy of this document.

Hi,

IMHO, Norton AV appears to be giving a false positive. Does it identify
the alleged malware? I would check Norton's Quarantine and see if you
can restore from there. You might contact Norton to see if they have a
work around.

 And you do the above steps only if you are very sure that you downloaded 
 and verified the download from libreoffice.org/download .
 You find the md5 hash to verifiy your download when you click the "Info" 
 link besides the "Torrent" link on libreoffice.org/download.

"Main installer" at the LO website, select "run" from the Windows popup and

[libreoffice-users] Record macro

[Thomas Blasejewicz]

Good evening
I recently upgraded to 3.6.
Formerly I used to have macros to highlight text and then remove the
highlight again (important during editing)
Today I noticed, that those macros were working only sometimes - when
they felt like doing so.
Fidling aroung in trying to figure out what is going on, I found:
* the second macro had been disabled.
* I get the "Java Runtime Environment" error that has been mentioned
recently on the list
* Installing a new JRE (1.7) does not work
* Going back to JRE 1.6 got rig (?) of the error, but I apparently need
to create new macros.
(this too is a really unnecessary pain in the neck)

BUT 
there is no "Record macro" button any more!
It used to be unter Tools -> Macros
Yet, now there are only
* Run macro
* Organize macros
- greyed out (digital signature)
* Organize dialogs

The documentation says:

*When in Writer:* #Open the document for which you want to record a macro.

 1. Choose *Tools - Macros - Record Macro*.
You see the small *Recording* dialog with just one button called
*Stop Recording*.

So, where IS the "Record macro" button now???

Re: [libreoffice-users] [3.5.3.2/Writer] H2 = underline until right margin?

Don't use underline (in "Font effects" tab) but use borders (in, well, 
"Borders" tab) instead. Just add bottom border, possibly set width, style and 
spacing and you are done.

Please note that border will underline whole header box, not line of text 
(check with long headings of two or more lines of text). Perhaps this is 
something you want anyway, but you should be aware of difference.

Thank you.


 The User Guides for LO have what you want already. The answer is to 
use styles.
 Open the Styles and Formatting window (use F11 to do this). When it 
opens, right click Heading 2 and select Modify. Click the Border tab. You 
want to create a bottom border by clicking below the gray square in the 
User defined window. Select the thickness (width) for the line and the 
color you want to use. If you have a preference as to the type of line 
used, select that also. Click OK. This should do it.

[libreoffice-users] Re: [3.5.3.2/Writer] H2 = underline until right margin?

[Gilles]

Thanks for the info. I don't have the time/courage to read the whole document
just for this, though.

Out of band, someone came up with this trick:
[quote]
Set a tab on the right margin and then insert a tab after your text, then
underline the white space after the text.
[/quote]

It works, but it's a bit cumbersome so I ended up copy/pasting the first
title and replaced all the other H2 items.

Thank you.

Re: [libreoffice-users] [3.5.3.2/Writer] H2 = underline until right margin?

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Yes.  

Errr, i am not sure about the variety of underlining and such but there are 10 
levels of headings that, by default, are linked together so that if you change 
the font on one of them that change flows through to the rest so that you can 
easily keep things consistent.  I'm not sure how smart it is, for example if 
changing h2 changes h1 or just the ones lower than it (h3, h4 and so on).  It's 
easy enough to change the default.  

There is a chapter about styles and templates in official documentation.  
Chapter 3 of the "Getting Started Guide".  There are pre-release and older 
versions of official documentation on this wiki-page
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications
But it is fairly widely distributed already.  

Regards from
Tom :)

I don't know where you got that idea from, unless you haven't noticed 
that I'm talking about Linux, not the MS product. ;-)


I've been using fully 64 bit systems for several years, firstly with OOo 
and then LO and, as indicated further down this thread, the combination 
is functioning perfectly well on another system with the same software 
installation(s). I'm guessing that the mal-functioning is related to the 
profile somewhere. Experiments continue.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Find and replace graphics

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
You can answer either way.  By email you need to use "Reply to all" instead of 
"Reply" because of a recent change to the way the lists work.  Using "Reply" 
sends the message privately, as a pm, instead of to the whole list so you 
suddenly get dependant on one person being right and available. It's better to 
send to the whole list.  Most OpenSource lists seem to work this way.  

I just gave the Nabble forum route because it's easier to upload files to 
Nabble but you found somewhere else anyway, which is quite cool :)  

I think the arrow is probably in the "Thumbnails" folder.  If you can delete it 
from there it will vanish.
Regards form
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] [3.5.3.2/Writer] H2 = underline until right margin?

Hello

I use H1 for the document's main title, and H2 for sub-sections.

To make H2 sections more obvious, I'd like to have the text underlined and
have the underline go all the way to the right margin instead of just the
text itself.

I vaguely remember being able to do this with Word, but can LibreOffice
Writer do this too?

Thank you.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Rel. 3.6.1 and Norton AntiVirus

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
It is always possible that different locations end-up with a non-standard 
version of LO.  Part of the ethos of OpenSource is that people can make 
changes.  If they don't send their change in to the main development process 
here then they miss the chance to push their changes through a decent QA and 
the beta-testing that happens on millions of real-world machines around the 
world.  

However, corporate organisations might want to do things like getting their 
logo and branding in their on the versions their staff uses.  Magazines might 
want to bundle LO in different ways or whatnot.  So even though you might end 
up with a non-standard version the changes might well be trivial and even 
beneficial.  

However none of that is the problem that was alluded to.  Most sources of 
non-standard downloads will give their own md5sum and/or Sha to deal with the 
main problem.  

The issue alluded to is that accidents might happen during download or copying 
and Cds/Dvds might end-up with scratches or smudges while still appearing to 
work.  

Regards from
Tom :)

As for the NA-DVD distro, I have no problems with people taking it and 
using it as the starting point for creating their own version.  Take out

Re: [libreoffice-users] Rel. 3.6.1 and Norton AntiVirus

[webmaster-Kracked_P_P]

I use the free versions of Comodo.  They have free [and paid] anti-virus 
and full security packages that include firewalls.  I use to use the 
free AVG, but then I had to add a separate firewall package, like 
Zonealarm.  Now I use only Comodo's free package that has both types of 
security.  Of course, that is to say that I use Comodo only on my 
Windows systems.


When I only used Windows systems, I maintained a list of free options 
for packages.  This link starts the section on security software.  I do 
not update it [much] anymore, but the list does have some good options.

One of the first jobs of a threat is to knock-out or dodge all known security 
so any of the big and famous antivirus' is likely to useless against any decent 
threat.  Luckily most threats are fairly trivial so even the big and famous

is always the option to nuke your Bios and reinstall your OS.  Still now that

   This may also be a Windows problem. My tower uses Ubuntu 11.10 (64

   I have found that I can not run 3.5.6 and 3.6.1 at the same

I can run either one of them with LO 3.4.6 or AOO 3.4.1. So I can have
three different "soffice" instances running at the same time as long as
two
of them are 3.5 and 3.6. This is true even when I use these two:

Re: [libreoffice-users] Rel. 3.6.1 and Norton AntiVirus

Hi :)
Norton used to be completely awesome.  Everything they did was totally amazing 
and extremely useful.  Then they became corporate and serious.  

Nowadays i use AVG or something else but still when a threat is publicised as 
being particularly nasty and i suspect one of the machines i deal with might 
have fallen foul of it i still find Symantec a good place to research into it.  

One of the first jobs of a threat is to knock-out or dodge all known security 
so any of the big and famous antivirus' is likely to useless against any decent 
threat.  Luckily most threats are fairly trivial so even the big and famous 
antivirus programs can probably deal with it.  If it's non-trivial then there 
is always the option to nuke your Bios and reinstall your OS.  Still now that

the AV was on but not updated in over 2 years and the guy lost a lot.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Rel. 3.6.1 and Norton AntiVirus

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I vaguely remember Norton updated their virus-definitions on Thursdays so i 
would schedule a look-for-updates for Fridays.  Of course MS do their updates 
on Tuesdays (="Patch Tuesday") so Norton/Symantec might have changed in the 
last decade or so.  

Of course if either find a particularly nasty problem then they do sometimes 
push patches or whatever out on a different day but it's fairly rare.  Of 
course an ISP might delay updates for a day or 2 so your machine might 
regularly get them a day or few later but i think by being regular MS and 
others have given ISPs a chance of knowing when they might get spikes so that 
those can be planned for easily.  

I still don't get why Windows doesn't have a package-manager that just updates 
everything all in one go instead of each different program being forced to 
set-up it's own separate method of keeping things up to date.  Also i never 
had/have confidence in any machine having fully updated drivers and codecs and 
everything.  Windows appears to be carefully built to be insecure.

Regards from
Tom :)

     Perhaps I was not as clear as I should have been. I listed 5 steps that 
have been posted on lists like these when installing OOo. Programs like Norton 
will give false positives that prevent installation of a program. So, the AV 
program needs to be off when the installation is being done. However, the AV 
program should NOT be turned off until AFTER the computer is physically 
disconnected from the Internet. The installation should be done immediately 
after turning off the AV. The AV should be turned on again right after 
finishing the installation. At this point, verification that the AV is actually 
working is the next step. If it is not, steps have to be taken to get the AV 
working properly before doing anything else. Once this is done, reconnect to 
the Internet. My point was that the computer should not be connected to the 
Internet until AFTER the person knows that the AV is already working.
     Yes, anyone using an AV should weekly update it, sooner if there is a 
notice of an update because of a patch that is needed.

Re: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: 3.6 Calc Problem / ~lock

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)  
Ok, 2 scenarios.  
1.  A desperately slow machine (probably Windows).  Double-clicking a file 
doesn't seem to open it, not entirely convinced it was a proper double-click so 
double-click again.  At last it opens and you make a lot of changes, and go off 
to grab a cuppa tea.  back at the computer you are not sure if you saved the 
document and even tho your fairly sure you closed it it still seems to be open 
so you save again and quit.  Later you open the document to find NONE of your 
changes have been saved.  Why?  

2.  On a swift machine with multiple workspaces you want 2 copies of the file 
open, one to edit and the other on a different workspace to copy info from or 
as a look-up source.  After a ton of editing you get a phone call and switch 
workspaces to look-up stuff from various open files to deal with the call.  A 
few distractions later and you get back to the machine and save and close the 
open document and shut-down the machine.  Next day you find NONE of your edits 
were saved.  Why?


I'm sure you can imagine a ton of situations where something could easily occur 
in your own place where you might not be 100% focused and infallible on an 
infallible machine.

Tom :)

       Huh ???

       Well, (1) these ~lock files do appear when the file is open -
                        that's what's frustrating; when it begins to slow
down, I check & discover this inane file has appeared.

       (2) I do NOT understand why I should place the file away from the
computer's HD before its completed?;
              once completed I copy it to an external HD, but still retain
it on the computer's HD.

       (3) I do NOT understand why I, the sole user of this machine, would
not have access to do whatever I wish with this machine  ;-)
              and the more these machines change, the more I think I should
pitch them out the window and return to the 'horse & buggy' era  ;-)

       A bug or not a bug ... a bug by any other name would be the same ...
            which reminds me of these silly acronyms - there were wasps -
still are - flitting around the woods ... then there were WASPs following
the AAC in WWII ... then there were WASPs - according to the '60s media -
along with other groups back-then.
       [and that's just 1 example of how acronyms can become confusing  ;-)]

  Otherwise, you should not have Norton running when you install the
upgrade; you should not be physically connected to the Internet either.
Disconnect from Internet, turn off anti-virus program, install LO
update, turn on anti-virus program. ONLY WHEN AV IS RUNNING should you
reconnect to the Internet.

--Dan



And you do the above steps only if you are very sure that you downloaded 
and verified the download from libreoffice.org/download .
You find the md5 hash to verifiy your download when you click the "Info" 
link besides the "Torrent" link on libreoffice.org/download.
