 Hi :)
 Has the issue been resolved well enough?  IE8 was discovered to have a large
 number of extremely serious vulnerabilities around the time of the original
 posting to the extent that MS released patches outside of their usual Patch
 Tuesday schedule.

 Opera is better, faster and safer.  Firefox seems to be the most popular
 web-browser at the moment.  It's also faster, safer and better.  Gaming
 sites report something like 80% of on-line gamers at their site use Firefox.
 Chrome is shed loads faster so i would have expected Gamers to use that
 more.  Generally i would recommend having 2 web-browsers so that if the main
 one you use goes wonky then you can use the other but i have only ever had
 problems with IE.  All the rest run for years without bumping into problems.



 However, it might be worth contacting the Websites Team, i think
 webs...@global.libreoffice.org
 to let them know about Internet Explorer issue.

 Of course MS are unhappy about the existence of LibreOffice, OpenOffice and
 the rest so my guess is that they will start to put resources into scaring
 people away from their competition.  Presumably using tactics similar to the
 ones that landed them in court over issues such as The browser wars
 (really talking about web-browsers there, not file-browsers or any other
 sorts of  browsers) or the Rtf court case.  In both cases they were found
 guilty and got a slap on the wrist which they shrug off and work-around.

 We should put some resources into fixing simple things, such as the
 certificate, if we can but we can't jump at every little piece of FUD they
 try to throw in our path.  They have a large fan-base that seem quite happy
 to spread all sorts of nonsense without MS being responsible.

 Probably a good plan to stick with Opera.  During it's court case against MS
 a lot of their resources went into the court-case.  Now that is over their
 resources are going to be diverted back into developing their web-browser.
 My guess is that they might develop fast enough to over-take Firefox in the
 next few years.  It's a good solid web-browser and has the advantage that
 not so many people use it.  Yet.

 With IE 8 ;

 StartCom is in my trusted root certification authorities list.

 IE 8 was compromised quite severely at around the time of the posting.  MS
 tried to downplay it and suggested that the average home user or small
 office was probably safer than the nuclear research facilities that got
 affected because home users can switch on he MS Firewall.  They implied that
 nuclear facilities probably can't afford a £20 router/firewall or wouldn't
 have thought of security.



 Bob Power wrote
 I then checked via http://www.digicert.com/help/ ssl certificate checker
 and it shows common name LibreOffice.org all ok etc.

 So I suppose it could be IE 8 not knowing what to do with this particular
 type of cert - I'm going to switch to FireFox soon

 So the main organisations behind issuing certificates agree that the
 LibreOffice ones are legit?  It's only MS that are claiming they aren't?

 Switching away from IE is a great idea.  you will probably find you have
 less security problems and less slow-downs as a result.  opera and Firefox
 are about equal.  Firefox is more popular and more widely used at the moment
 but that is not necessarily a good reason to prefer it to Opera.  The main
 thing is to get away from IE as much as possible.  I only use it for updates
 from microsoft.com, all of which are for security problems with MS
 products.

 Suggestions ;
 1.
 For some users with old stuff like me - XP / IE 8 etc - who are the most
 likely to be looking for alternatives to MS Office - this will be
 off-putting ( it will scare some people ) - and LibreOffice will lose some
 potential converts.

 People that stick with IE8 are going to find the internet an increasingly
 dangerous place.  MS wants people to buy their new OSes and scaring them
 into it is a standard salesman tactic.  There is even a name for the tactic.


 LibreOffice/OpenOffice always loses potential new users due to FUD but that
 doesn't affect TDF's or Apache's profit/loss or income/expenditure.  It's
 only the users that lose out and they might have good reasons to try LO/OO
 again in a couple of years.  There is no need for a hard sell or to force
 people into 'buying into' something they have been made afraid of.  Let them
 find the problems with MS Office, such as huge costs and poor security, and
 eventually they will retry alternatives.

Thanks everyone for your help, and for being understanding of why I asked
this, and for explaining that all non-subscribed users get moderated
automatically. I just assumed that it was like Google Groups, which does
have this functionality, and which saves duplicate emails being needlessly
sent.

By the way - most people will see the users@ address as a support email,
rather than a mailing list. Most people would ask the question Why should
I subscribe?, because they don't want un-needed e-mail, as they are only
interested in their question, rather than others' questions, which, in case
you were, wondering, is why I asked this question.

Once again, thanks for all the help,

 A mailinglist allowing messages from non-subscribers is imho

 That is correct! Anything else would be a recipe for spam--non-subscribed

 That's the correct way to do it. No dis-courtesy copies. Never.

 By replying directly to user, you are implying that you are taking
 response off list--please do so if that is your intent, i.e. to criticize
 or guide so as not to embarrass other subscribers don't need or want to
 see that. Otherwise the netiquette is to address discussion for the list to
 read--and keep response civil.

 So, use the respond to all option of your email reader of choice, it
 SHOULD pick up the mail list address.  Delete the other direct addresses.
  And finally TRIM away any of the extra crud in the message.  Leave just
 enough for the message to stand on its own, but not be distracting either
 to read--or when viewed in context in a News group reader or a web archive
 like Nabble.

[libreoffice-users] Replying to users

2013-05-21 Thread Kieran Peckett
Hi all,

Just a quick question - when on this list (users), shouldn't we keep the
sender's email in the To / Cc list when we reply-all in case they haven't
subscribed to the list (which makes sense if they're just looking for
support and not for helping others out).

The reason I am asking this is because sometimes I see people replying to
just the users list, which makes me wonder whether the user, who is looking
for support, is actually getting the answers they want, or whether only
people who are subscribed see it. Some people will just email
users@global.libreoffice.org with a question, then they may not get a reply
unless they are subscribed, which means that they won't get an answer to
their question.

Just wondering as this crossed my mind today,

Kieran

Re: [libreoffice-users] Ask.LibreOffice.org and Bugzilla Twitter accounts

2013-05-20 Thread Kieran Peckett
Great Idea (I've CC-ed QA because BugZilla is related to them)


On 17 May 2013 12:27, Zeki Bildirici z...@ozgurlukicin.com wrote:

 Hi,

 You know social media is a very effective channel for getting people's
 attention. Also it can be used a regular reminder/ping'er/poke'r for
 communities.

 So using the social media's advantages to increase the community's
 attention on Ask.LibreOffice.org site and Bugzilla will be good imho.

 We had used this method in Pardus GNU/Linux and it worked. After
 asking to Florian for his advice that if is this possible to use this
 channels for LibreOffice, i've creaed two twitter accounts.

 The new accounts are:

 LibreOffice Bugzilla:
 https://twitter.com/LibreOfficeBugs

 Ask.LibreOffice.org:
 https://twitter.com/AskLibreOffice

 I've connected ask site's new question feeds and bugzilla's new bug's
 feeds to this accounts.

 The goals of having this accounts are:

 · To keep more attention on questions and bugs

 · Make community contribution process more social

 · To poke/ ping community’s members and asking for the minimum
 contribution that can give constantly

 · Spread the questions and bugs to their networks to find answers as
 soon as possible which will increase the possibility find the person
 whom has the answer

 · Make our ask and bugzilla more open to the community and increase
 the number of persons(not regular contributors)


 Well, there is also reasons  under the “What current situation misses”
 questions

 · Having lots of bugzilla mails is not for ordinary community members,
 people does not want their inbox is filled with bug mails which most
 of them are not in interested. But twitter streams are different, it
 comes and passes through no rubbish left there. Trying to confirm a
 bug is generally a simple work to do, we can involve more people(other
 than the regular bugbusters) to have with this feeds.

 · Visiting ask site is not a practical exercise made every time, or
 getting feeds from Google Reader is not practiced by everyone, but
 most people use social media actively. This means more eyes will be on
 ask and bug sites constantly.

 · As said above, having constant attention for this sites are not
 possible for passive contributors

 · There is no chance to spread the questions through LibreOffice
 related networks. But with this accounts, the followers will generate
 a core LibreOffice network which will be feed through this accounts.

 I hope that this accounts will help to decrease the unanswered
 questions in the ask site(1.191 questions ~1/3 ) and activate more
 members to help triage bugs  in bugzilla.

 If you have a twitter account please follow and promote/announce this
 accounts.

 Of course the most important thing is the interest of community and
 the will to became a part of this wonderful community to make
 LibreOffice the best free Office suite ever.

 Best regards,
 Zeki

 I think you are meant to use Writer or Calc to connect to or link to
 the Queries in Base.  Then you use fields in much the way you would mail
 merge.  That means you can apply normal formatting to the fields or the
 text and stuff around that in the rest of the Writer or Calc document.

 Does this link describe how to do that?
 http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=75t=18511


 There was this link on the main LibreOffice website
 http://www.libreoffice.org/features/base/


 I hope to start reading this quick guide or handbook that is in the
 process of being translated from the original that was written in German

 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Base_Handbook
 The chapter Linking to Databases is the other way around.  It's about
 using external tables in MySql or PostgreSQL rather than having the tables
 in the internal back-end.

 I get confused around then but i think Base then 'just' has the queries
 and the relationships between the tables.  Then Base feeds into Forms and
 Reports created in Writer.  So Base is a bit like a bridge?

 I was wondering if there has been some changes in how LO 4.0.2 deals with
 computing to see if there is enough room on the drive for the new install.
 
 I went from 4.0.1.2 to 4.0.2.2 on Windows and it has taken over 5 minutes
 for the laptops to deal with this step.  One was Win7 Professional and the
 other was Home Premium.  Both are on dual core laptops. Both are in the
 mid-range for processor speeds.
 
 I am upgrading to 4.0.2 on the Win7/Pro system, right now, and had to
 wait over 5 minutes, I wonder if something has changed.  It has never taken
 more than 2 minutes to do this computing process on this laptop.  It has
 over 60 GB free and the Win7/HomePre one has over 200 GB free, it is
 strange that it is taking so long for this part of the install process.
 Yes, the disks have been defragged and both system have at least 3GB RAM.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Raspberry Pi Raspbian - official or port?

2013-03-21 Thread Kieran Peckett
The only reason I asked was just out of curiosity, as I saw it in the store
(though unfortunately it won't fit on my 4GB SD that came with my kit -
time to think about running from USB I think)

Thanks for the clarification of the term fork. At first I thought a fork
was when someone took the code of another app and changed it to work with
their needs (In this case converting x86 code to ARMv6 / ARM11)

 It's hard to tell. It depends of your understanding of official and
 fork.

 They are not official in the meaning that TDF does not provide arm build
 of
 LO. That also means that .debs downloaded from TDF site will not work on
 your
 Raspberry Pi.

 But they are not fork either, as they don't have separate branding, their
 own website, team of developers or any new features.

 In fact, these are binary packages build on Debian infrastructure from TDF
 sources, with some downstream (Debian-specific) patches. Such patches
 usually
 provides better integration of program with distro-specific tools or fixes
 compilation errors on architectures not supported by upstream, but
 supported
 by distro (and Debian supports nine architectures, while TDF only two).
 Sometimes they also provide features or fixes from newer version of
 software;
 but as far as I am aware, Debian LO maintainers tend to not backport
 anything.

 Another question is: what does it change, if packages are official? It's
 not
 that TDF provides any commercial user support anyway.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 3 4 on same machine

2013-02-25 Thread Kieran Peckett
I managed to get a parallel install working using the Server Install GUI
- all that does is install LO to a folder of your choosing, making sure
that it doesn't conflict with current version of LO you have installed.

On Monday, 25 February 2013, Tom Davies wrote:

 Hi :)
 My deepest apologise for that!

 From where you are now, to recover, you might only need to run the 3.6.5
 installer again and choose the repair option.  That should fix it.  This
 link is to the 3.6.5 English (US) version
 http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=win-x86lang=en-USversion=3.6.5

 If that doesn't work and you really do need to uninstall either version
 3.6.5 first then either of these links should be able to help
 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows7/Uninstall-or-change-a-program
 http://gizmodo.com/5138189/win-7-tip-where-the-hell-is-addremove-programs
 When i am actually on a Windows system i am usually somewhat scared to go
 to microsoft.com even at work and i'm certain the system is properly
 licensed and i can rech the key easily if i need to re-enter it.  On
 people's home machines i am never quite sure if the site is going to throw
 a curved-ball at me.  The other address just seems rude so normally i
 wouldn't click it but it seemed fine.


 If/when i recommend installing to a usb stick or other portable device
 then it's using the Portable Apps version.  NOT the regular download.
 Here is the link for the portable apps version
 http://www.libreoffice.org/download/portable/
 I probably don't make it clear enough though so i can understand why
 people might have missed that.  Apparently the portable apps version can
 even be installed to Cloud systems so that you can access LibreOffice on
 any machine that lets you access your Cloud.  I've not tried that though.


 One other problem on Miss Keating's system is that keeping OpenOffice on
 your system might cause confusion for your machine.  NeoOffice, Lotus
 Symphony, Go-oo, OpenOffice and LibreOffice all have the same core code and
 make the same calls to components that have the same names so it can all be
 a tad confusing for a system to have more than 1 version of any of those
 installed.  That's why some smart people have written the guide for
 installing LibreOffice in parallel
 https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel
 Although it only specifically talks about 2 versions of LibreOffice the
 same is often true when one of the versions is one of the other forks.

 Hopefully one day all mention of soffice will be replaced by  libreoffice
 or something.  I just hope they don't go for the name libo because that
 could cause some confusion for people familiar with unix-based systems.

 Good luck with sorting the mess out!  Please start a new thread about it
 and let us know how it goes!

 You may wish to take warning from my recent experience. I had LO3.5
 happily operational on a Win7 system, but wanted to try 4.0. I downloaded
 the files to a USB stick, my j:drive, and installed the programme there. I
 seem to remember Tom Davies suggesting that procedure to some other user.
 It worked just fine for 4.0, but the installation of 4.0 destroyed3.5 back
 on the c: drive. I disconnected the USB stick, which of course then left me
 with no working version of LO, and tried to load 3.6.5, only to be told
 that a newer version had been detected, which must be removed to permit
 installation of 3.6.5.
 
 That is of course absurd since there is no LO at all installed on the
 machine as long as the USB stick is disconnected. There are remnants, such
 as 7 levels of subdirectories, all empty, under a LO3.5 subdirectory in
 programs(x86), and several short-cut icons whose properties all show them
 as inoperative.
 
 I don't know how to remove a program which doesn't exist, so until I can
 straighten this business out I am left with only OO, or LO4.0 running from
 the stick. Perhaps I have to invoke a restore point?
 
 By my lights, it's a very unsavoury practice to have an installer destroy
 existing installations without (a) warning you that that's what it's about
 to do, and, (b) asking your permission, but that's what happened to me. May
 you have better luck, and if you succeed, you might tell us how you did it.

 The built-in spellchecker is absolutely useless. First, it does not
 support options. Second, it doesn't have thematic and user dictionaries
 available. Third, the checking method itself is primitive.
 No multiword checking, no complex and compound words checker, no
 morphology support. The only language it can fit in its present condition
 is English.

Oh, I see, I thought by custom / user dictionaries you meant like in MSO.
Note that you can get pre-built dictionaries for other languages, either
through the LO website or (I'm guessing) in the LO Download page, when you
download a non-English build

  And what did you have in mind?


 Tabbed interface (should be optional/easy to drag/move a doc out into its

 right, but should be movable), TaskPane (similar to the ribbon, but doesn't
 replace the menus), and there are others...

 Lots to pick from, so it should at least be on the table...

  These are reasonable suggestions.

 I personally would like to see an improvement in the ease with which to
 adjust the bullet/ numbering options. One of my biggest bug-bears with LibO
 (and OOo before that) is the unreasonable difficulty the user experiences
 with bulleted and numbered lists. I know a couple of others who seem to
 experience a similar level of difficulty, so I would certainly put this on
 my wish list :-)

 Is there a request list available?

  Tom,
  
   Is there a problem with running different versions on different
 OSes?  It should be fine t do that shouldn't it?
   Regards from
   Tom :)
  
  
  Please, please, pretty please, sometimes I really do get the impression
  you have not read anything we have exchanged in the past on this topic.
  
  On Unix/Linux, and for LibreOffice, the native connector is dependent
 on :
  
  - the OS version ;
  - the bit architecture ;
  - the version of libmysqlclient ;
  - the version of libmysqlcppconn ;
  - the version of LO.
  
  This means that if I build a mysql connector on say PCBSD 9.1, it will
  not work on Ubuntu, Suse, Redhat or Debian. Even if I build a 32bit
  version of the connector on a Suse 32bit OS, the functionality on
  another version of that same OS is not guaranteed if the versions of
  libmysqlclient or libmysqlcppconn are different between the two
  versions, notwithstanding the fact that it will not work at all on a
  64bit Suse OS (different architectures).
  
  So, the situation today is that for each Linux/Unix OS, and each major
  version of that OS, the connector has to be built separately.
  
  In addition to these niceties, the build of the connector regularly gets
  screwed by devs changing things for one OS (mostly Linux), without
  giving a *expletive* about the other OSes. This is currently the case at
  least for Mac OSX, thanks to recent changes in the gbuild process for
  mysqlc and mysqlcppconn. As I don't build on Windows (and do not intend
  to), I really don't know what the situation is there currently.
  
  The situation over at ApacheOO is different. There, the connector is
  built by another volunteer, using the SDK, i.e. in theory, it produces
  an OS version agnostic mysql connector. However, the differences in code
  trees between LO and AOO now mean that the connector for AOO no longer
  works in LO4, or at least, that is what Heinrich has reported (and
  Robert too, I believe).

 I am more partial to drupal but haven't yet found a utility for file
 uploading that was simple enough to configure in small snatches of time I
 have for it. it often seems to require installing this and that module,
 updating the whole she-bang and so on.

 I just don't have time for reconstructive surgery on my drupal site, not
 now at least and now would be a great time to have the upload utility.

 I see on their site
 In Moodle, each user has a private files area for uploading and managing
 a set of files.
 Preventing access to Private files

  * To prevent all users having access to Private files, the
administrator should disable (close the eye) of the repository in
/SettingsSite administrationPlugins**RepositoriesManage
repositories./
  * If only students are to be prevented from accessing private files
(but teachers etc, allowed) then a new
  * role should be made and assigned system wide. See FAQ 6 in

 thanks. this deserves more study but so far as I can see now, it

 sshfs access.

 what I need is something where _others_ can upload their files for _me_
 to access. think of students uploading papers for the teacher to grab. the
 students shouldn't see each other's work though they should see their own.

 (it would be great if they had permissions to modify and delete their
 own stuff but not essential; it is essential that Windows and Mac people
 can upload their files.)

 I'll study the owncloud page more but I'm not seeing these features so
 far.

Well, on Windows Vista, 7 and 8, anyone can make their own ribbon apps,

Also, without a ribbon, at least on windows, we will lose people who would

It won't be copyright infringement on Windows if we use MS's API, then it

 The answer seems to be to click Reply to all, remove the single
 person's address and then move the list address from CC: to TO: (just
 click and drag it).

 As I said, I forget that all the time…

  Here's an addition to my previous attempt.  In column D, you could put
  =C$1, =C$2, =C$3, and so on.  (It's no good trying to fill these down
 the

 don't
  see any way to fill what you actually need other than manually - and
  unreliably!)
 
  Now you can sort column D each time you want to consolidate your list.
   Note that the formulae in column D will themselves be sorted (so that
 =C$1
  is no longer necessarily in D1 and so on), but this will not upset the
  scheme and does not need to be reset before your next update.  All
 that is
  necessary is that you have an exactly complete set of the formulae in
 the
  range of column D - in whatever order.
 
  Is that any better?

Re: [libreoffice-users] SOT - ODF app for Android/Kindle?

2013-01-28 Thread Kieran Peckett
There is also CloudOn which gives you MS Office for free as long as you
have an internet connection (all legal, according to their website) and you
can upload straight from the file manger or the Downloads app. Not the
fastest, especially if you are in the UK.

 documents, which I find absolutely staggering!
  There's one I've found that will read ODF but not edit.
  Does anyone know of such an app?

 AFAIK the only way to accomplish this is by importing in Google Docs,
 editing with their application, and saving / exporting back to ODT.

Re: [libreoffice-users] crash recovery odd behavior

2013-01-10 Thread Kieran Peckett
On 10/01/2013, Carl Paulsen carlpaul...@comcast.net wrote:
 LO crashed ( I think I ran out of battery on my laptop) with 3 documents
 open.  When re-opening some time later, 3 documents failed recovery.  I
 had probably trashed the files b/c I didn't need them any more, but not
 sure.  In any case, these 3 files keep coming up as having been
 improperly closed every time I open LO.  They of course fail each time.
 I've looked for a setting to clear out the list of files that crashed,
 but can't find it.

 Is this by design?  If so, can I somehow clear out the file list so it
 opens normally?

 Thanks,
 Carl

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem opening previously saved files

OK. I don't see the image here (gmail). I only see [image: Inline images

 [image: Inline images 1]
 Good evening

 I keep getting this error message when I try to open files I've previously
 saved. I'm running version 3.6.4. I've completely deinstalled and then
 reinstalled twice but the problem continues.

 It's most annoying. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 Many thanks
