Greetings,
I am configuring a new Linux system with MySQL 5.5.29 and LibreOffice
3.6.5.2. Since it is a new install, I figured I would try using the
MySQL (Native) connector for the first time. However, it did not
work. Of the 3 selections {MySQL (JDBC), MySQL (Native), and MySQL
(ODBC), I selected the MySQL (Native) option, but when I selected the
tables icon and entered my password at the prompt, I got the following:
The connection to the data source foobar could not be established.
The connection to the external data source could not be established.
No SDBC driver was found for the given URL.
When I clicked on the more information button, I got:
SQL Status: HY000
and:
A connection for the following URL was requested
sdbc:mysql:mysqlc:localhost:3306/foobar.
Clearly I have a disconnect. What is this SDBC driver I am being
told is missing?
Is this SDBC driver going to be any better than the JDBC driver I had
been using?
I was under the impression that to use the Native connection, all was
supplied with LO and I would not need any other drivers. I can
always go back to the mysql-connector-java driver (JDBC), but I was
hoping the LO native driver could work better.
Thanks in advance.
Girvin Herr
I have been able to use the AOO version of MySQL Connector 1.0.1
for LO 3.5.x through 3.6.6.2. There seems to be a secrete: you must
also install these files: libmysqlclient18 and libmysqlcppconn5. After
installing them and MySQL Connector 1.0.1, you should be able to
connect to a MySQL Server. One more point, if you have been using
JDBC MySQL connector, you must remove it from the Class Path (Tools
Options LibreOffice Java Class Path. This works for me using
Ubuntu 12.04 32 and 64 bit.
The LO native driver was built with LO 4.0.0 so it will only work
for 4.0.0 and above. The previous paragraph is for those who do not
want to use 4.0.x until many of the bugs have been eliminated.
--Dan
Okay.
So, the Native driver only works on 4.x. So much for that.
I just re-packaged Mysql-connector-java 5.1.18, which LO found, but LO
needs to be restarted and I don't want to do that until I power up again
tomorrow. I have 5 open files and it is a pita closing and reopening
them. Yes, I am lazy. So, the final test will have to wait until tomorrow.
Thanks for the help.

Hello from sunny Salzburg,
...The previous paragraph is for those who do not
want to use 4.0.x until many of the bugs have been eliminated.
I have tried 4.0.2 on my Debian-Wheezy- and Mint Linux systems. For production
purposes I have gone back to 3.6.5. The main reason is that - while the Native
MySQL Connector DOES work on 4.0.2 - in my mind the Report Builder is not yet
usable. For example, it ignores font specifications and sometimes positions
data wrongly within defined fields (eg. top and not middle as specified in the
field definition). Something must be wrong in the way LO 4.0 interefaces to the
Report Builder, seeing as the latter works o.k. under 3.6

Heinrich

[libreoffice-users] OT : good cd import software on linux
Hi all, This is way of topic, but as there are many linux adepts over here, I wonder what software you use to rip cd's to mp3. (or ogg vorbis, but I prefer mp3 as that's supported on more hardware than ogg) On windows, I used to use iTunes, which recognised (through cddb, or whatever sony made it now) nearly all cd's, also the less common like folk music (Bal O'Gadjo, Embrun,...) On ubuntu, those cd's are rarely recognised. The final goal is to rate the songs with stars (or another symbol) like in Itunes, and then be able to export a best-of to my collection to my cell phone, tablet and/or usb-stick. Are there some packages I should install to have those cd's recognised, or what should I do?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calendar software
Hi all, Kontact is KDE's Outlook competitor and the latest (experimental) version can be found here: https://wiki.kolab.org/Client_windows_kontact Kontact even offers a Summary page like Outlook (if you like that). It should be worth a look. I tried Digikam on Windows (briefly) and it seemed to work just fine. They gave us new PCs at work and prohibit us from installing anything anymore, or I would still have it. My point is that Kontact probably will work fairly well, even if KDE devs claim it is experimental. I really like Kontact and feel like I would be lost without it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] OT : good cd import software on linux
Hi :) Rhythmbox is supposed to be quite good. I like Brasero too but i think that is slightly different. Brasero might let you make an iso file on your hard-drive so that you have a back-up copy of the Cd/Dvd and can play it as though it really is a Cd/Dvd. The ultra latest stuff tends to have some security to try to prevent it but their security usually fails even without actually 'hacking' it (they mean cracking). Continuing to assume these are Cd/Dvds that you own, have you tried just playing them? If you put the Cd/Dvd in and just double-slick on it it should start just playing. That pulls it into Rhythmbox (or whatever) and that will probably let you copy or move the track to another place, like your music folder.

Re: [libreoffice-users] OT : good cd import software on linux
Thanks all for your responses. Yes, I have the original cd's, but my question is not which application I can use for playback. I have very good results with exaile, but tend to fallback to my nexus7 which is easier to use when friends are with me. My main question is rather to know why the id tags are recognised in iTunes, while they are not on any of the linux rippers, causing a lot of administration to type the tracknames group names manually, instead of the plug rip which is offered by iTunes.

Re: [libreoffice-users] OT : good cd import software on linux
Hi :) Good point about the codecs! I usually ruin through Medibuntu to get all the extra codecs and things from them https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and then install mplayer and vlc player to get the last remaining ones. Also i generally try to run through these now. I know it's command-line rather than pointclick but i find it oddly easier for these. I'm sure there is some fancy linuxy way of adding all the commands together (especially those last 3!) but i keep each on a separate line in case i want to ignore 1 or 2. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonoomph/openshot-edge sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak sudo apt-get install xbmc sudo apt-get install openshot openshot-doc but never really get the chance to do much movie editing with OpenShot. Xmbc is an excellent movie player so i get it to use. I still do get Mplayer and Vlc though because they are good for odd things, like playing stuff from phones if Xbmc refuses or makes it confusing. Mainly i get Vlc and MPlayer because it forces a lot of codecs to be pulled in as dependencies. There is a Restricted Extras page you can run through if you dont want so many players but it just makes things more complicated than just doing sudo apt-get install vlc mplayer Regards from Tom :) From: James Knott james.kn...@rogers.com To: LibreOffice users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Tuesday, 16 April 2013, 13:25 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] OT : good cd import software on linux Dries Feys wrote: This is way of topic, but as there are many linux adepts over here, I wonder what software you use to rip cd's to mp3.

Re: [libreoffice-users] OT : good cd import software on linux
Hi :) Nice! :) I had not thought of using Vlc as a media player, ie music too. Tbh though i think you are describing the old way of things from a couple of years ago. There is a lot more out there now. Rhythmbox is built in and probably even has an add-on for starring or rating music. It's a dedicated music player and even gives easy access to a Music Store (confusingly also called Ubuntu One), various Radio (such as LibreFm, LastFm and others that can be user-defined), Podcasts and stuff. It's right there when you click on the speaker icon in Unity.

Re: [libreoffice-users] OT : good cd import software on linux
Hi :) Typing manually!!! Is that something to do with old tags being id3 and new ones being id6? Something like that? iTunes probably uses id6 and leaves the id3 empty and linux ones that you have been using probably use the id3 and ignore the id6s. Hmmm Have you searched through your package manager yet? It's good to get Synaptic Package Manager to handle fine-grained stuff like this. The 1st couple of searches i tried gave me nothing useful but then i searched using music tags and got tons of things that looked worth trying; * Guayadeque is a player that handles both/all types of tags and might be able to copypaste them fairly quickly so that each track has both types properly filled in. * Clementine again a fast and light-weight one. This says it's speciality is fast searching. * Cowbell is a tag editor so hopefully you might be able to use it headlessly to copy your v6 tags into v4 format keeping both. test on a small batch before committing yourself tho! There are 3 command-line that might be powerful but i tend to avoid command-line if possible 1. id3 2. id3tool 3. id4v2 Musiclibrarian is more about organising, i'm not sure if it plays at all. Sorune similarly These 3 might be useful, hopefully the 1st one might do the job or make it very easy 1. puddletag 2. pyrenamer (i use this for renaming srt subtitles for tele series when i want to watch the whole series at lowish volume to avoid disturbing the neighbours tooo much).

I am likely late to this thread, but why won't using
sqrt{4a^2 over 9} = +- {2a over 3}
as an LO formula work for you, or using
\sqrt{\frac{4a^2}{9}}=\pm\frac{2a}{3}

While it would be grand to be able to simply have LO parse TeX (or your
math notation of preference), the two options above seem reasonable

The effect of compression and reduction can clearly been heard (on a good sound system). It's OK for car-radio's (or music systems as they are called now) but not for good audio systems. Even CD-quality is not optimal.

On ubuntu, those cd's are rarely recognised. The final goal is to rate the songs with stars (or another symbol) like in Itunes, and then be able to export a best-of to my collection to my cell phone, tablet and/or usb-stick. Are there some packages I should install to have those cd's recognised, or what should I do? TIA, Dries Yes it is way off topic. You want to take all your Audio CDs and make them into MP3 files, yes? I have Ubuntu 12.04. I have installed Ripper X, Asunder CD Ripper, and a few others. I would see what rippers are available with your Linux distro and try a few. I have not used a Linux one in a few years, since I ripped all my CDs years ago and keep the MP3 file on my massive audio folders. To be honest, I do not know which one does the stars option you wish. As for CD's being recognized, that is a different issue. Are you saying that your Linux system is not able to play audio CDs? That sounds like a hardware problem, since every distro of Linux I have used include the needed drivers and packages for reading audio CDs. Are you saying that you place your CD in the drive and open the audio package and the CD and song information are not found and displayed? That is a problem with the database being used to look up the CD info online. For playing your CDs on Linux and Windows, try VLC. They have a really good system and they have access to a service that will look your CDinfo up online. To be honest, if you run Windows Vista, VLC is the preferred package since it included all of the codexoption you would need that Vista does not provide. But, if you have a CD that is not part of a large publishing house, it may not get included in the online database. That is just life of a small run CD by obscure artists.

Having been lost for an hour on research on how I am encoding, it seem there may be more problems with the decoding of an mp3 where you could have less control unless it is your own pc. When encoding you also need to research your encoder, not just the bit rates. Because mp3 throws something away to reduce size, it is what each encoder throws away that distinguishes it from the next. Then it becomes opinion and preference.

Re: [libreoffice-users] OT : good cd import software on linux
FLAC does not work on half of my audio playing devices, computer packages, blu-ray audio players, etc.. There can be a limitless debate over which is the best codex for the audio recording, but if you want the most, you use MP3. Of course you set the MP3 encoder/ripper to the highest quality audio your package can handle. I have many recordings that are listed at 320kbps. So the best answer, for the most players would be MP3 at the highest quality. For the best solution for a narrower device usage, it is a vary debatable topic that does not belong here. The off topic question is getting much too off topic and not anything near LO. So maybe if there is a need for more info, we could do some off list emailing.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Fractions in Maths
Hi! I think an interesting reason may justify the enhancement request.
It is a matter of speed. For me, I need to use the keyboard very often. Typing
Alt+I+O+F {2a over 3} (Esc) (Esc) (17 keys) is slower. Typing 2a/3 (space) (5
keys) is faster.
(17-5)/17*100=70.59%
That is about 70 per cent of reduction in the number of keys I need to type
(not using the mouse)! Amazing!

主題︰ Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Fractions in Maths
I am likely late to this thread, but why won't using
sqrt{4a^2 over 9} = +- {2a over 3}
as an LO formula work for you, or using
\sqrt{\frac{4a^2}{9}}=\pm\frac{2a}{3}
in TexMath
While it would be grand to be able to simply have LO parse TeX (or your
math notation of preference), the two options above seem reasonable
compromises
