You should use something like:

sudo dnf install ./*.rpm ./desktop-integration/*freedesktop*.rpm

The "redhat-menus" package is not suitable for Fedora.

Only one of the packages in desktop-integration/ must be installed, and 
for Fedora the "freedesktop" one is the right choice.

Hello Marcia,
this is a known issue and it has existed for many months.

We've decided to fix it at last and you can see the first part (getting 
SMTP credentials for use in the site; opened a few days ago) here:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-21334

As soon as we get Infra to act on that, mail from the Templates site 
will be delivered again.


As for your account, I've enabled it manually and you will shortly

Oh sorry! Yes, I did write "Base"... and then Writer (I mean, the

So honestly I still believe we might have some caching issue of sorts

Indeed it looks like there is a bug somewhere.

I tried to register to https://forum.openoffice.org/it/forum/index.php 
with a test user.


This is what I used:

Firma: Includi la tua versione di OpenOffice e il sistema operativo su 
cui è installata


and here I wrote "OpenOffice 4.1.8 Linux" and I recommend that you do 
the same; you can change it after registration in case, but this one 
surely works.


Then I got asked

"Come si chiama il database di Open Office?"

and I obviously answered "Access" and it insisted it was wrong.

I retried three times, and different modules would show up in the 
question, and the third time it succeeded when, being asked about the 
text editor, I wrote "Writer" (note it's not Write but Writer).


This might be a caching issue on the forum. So my recommendation is that 
you try multiple times and always use "Writer" as the answer.


Please, if you try, let us know more details so that we can better 
investigate the possible bug.

It is very hard to get a copy of a broken profile to study. When the

think we even built a survey to help identifying the cause; but that 
didn't help (honestly, many users are even unable to fix it with the 
instructions we give them).



then they may have found something, then there may be something to be found.


At a point it was believed that the original problem was the decision to 
migrate 3.x profiles over to 4.x; "sometimes" this would result in 
damaging the profile; it would be interesting to know whether this is 
still reasonable or whether people manage to get this error even if they 
install a fresh 4.1.7 and keep using it.


This would also explain why other programs don't have the issue, if they 
really don't.


Focusing on what we can do now, I'd say the easiest thing to do is a 
"Tools - Reset profile" menu item, or alternatively a "Start with a 
fresh profile" option at install time. Volunteers welcome etc... but 
this would probably be helpful to users beyond the specific issue.

[Andrea Pescetti]

Dear Shaik Subhani,

reading the list of (mostly nonsense) recipients you assembled it is 
hard to believe yours is a genuine e-mail on behalf of Microsoft.



Still, I'll answer your question buried under layers and layers of mails 
below: no, we are not going to change the robots.txt policy on our 
Templates site just because you ask for it.



It doesn't make any sense from a technical point of view and you should 
have noticed it too before asking: content on that site is extremely 
static, so more frequent visits from bots are absolutely useless to you 
and us.



As for your final request to "please let us know if we can bypass the 
rule and get your pages indexed properly"... it's obviously another no, 
for the same reasons.



In short, we are not going to change the robots.txt configuration as 
your proposal doesn't really make sense for the site you mention.



Regards,

Andrea Pescetti.

1. If the spell check facility of writer can be improved to have keyboard

You are not subscribed to the list. You may miss replies. See 
https://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html and please note that I 
am unable to follow up with personal conversations (i.e., please reply 
to the list if you reply).


I think we already support most of your requests. There is a keyboard 
shortcut for the spell-checker (F7 but may depend on language) and the 
Menu key triggers the local menu for adding/ignoring etc.



2. If the spell check facility is improved to allow inclusion of external
text files as reference files for spell check then one can have his own
custom built spell check file that will eventually result in lesser and
lesser time being spent on spell check. In 4.1.7 (En-US) "Writer" I could
not find the path to the spell check file like custom.dic of Word 2000.


We support custom dictionaries, just I'm not sure they are in the form 
of text files. You add to these dictionaries from the interface. See 
documentation (press F1) for more.



3. Macro facility of Word 2000 does not allow external txt files to
attached in a VB project thereby limits the spell check correction and it
cannot be increased to several thousands of corrections. I get an error on
an Lenovo I3 L412 after the vb code length increases more than 2200 words
per file and has therefore resulted in entering about 45 files to the spell
check macro whenever I format the device. Generally format of the device is
to be done after about a month. The OS being used is Win XP sp2.


I don't see a need for using a macro for this task.


4. I have not been able to use the available "Autocorrect" facility on the
spell check popup window. My suggestion would be to use this tab
exclusively for the user to have his own spell check system:
a) a few attachable, modifiable and increasable txt dict reference files.
b) a macro facilitation that is able to correct a few thousand already
corrected and recorded strings/ string sequences (an ocr text can present
even a simple word as: "Pres-ident" "butthe" "isan" etc.
c) Auto text entries that are too frequently needed to be corrected.


The autocorrect works mostly the way you describe, with the exception 
that it is not based on text files (so you need to manage it through the 
UI) and that you setup it manually in the preferences (not in the popup).

  Andrea.

This is done for the user's security. You can disable this by lowering

They are confusingly called "Macro security settings", but setting them

If you want to do it properly you will need support in code. There is a

partially outdated but still mostly valid indications. 
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Adding_a_new_language_or_locale


Now, we usually use a country code for the second part of the full code; 
so it_IT would mean "Italian, the way it is spoken/written in Italy" and 
it_CH would mean "Italian, the way it is spoken/written in Switzerland".


This is the only controversial part I see in your proposal. You may want 
to look at how we address a vaguely similar issue for Serbian, that can 
be written either in Latin characters or in Cyrillic characters - but I 
think both are official in that case.

I've updated the page to use "country/territory" as we do elsewhere. See

As for your other question (how are .com counted): as explained on the

I concur this is an example of a user that, while he managed to solve it

And our solution is easy but not super-easy.


I see three ways (two requiring OpenOffice development) to solve this:

1. An OpenOfficeProfileFixer.exe (so to say; I'm note referring to 
something that exists) file that simply renames the user profile under 
Windows. This will cover the large majority of the clueless users. This 
can exist as a separate tool, hosted by an OpenOffice committer is his 
personal space at apache.org.


2. An option to "start clean" at install time, that renames a possibly 
existing OpenOffice profile.


3. A Tools - Reset default settings menu item that renames the profile 
at the next restart of OpenOffice.


There is nothing to fix in the OpenOffice code. Profile corruption 
happens due to many factors, but it is not linked to OpenOffice in a 
clear way: it involves user profiles that are carried over from 
OpenOffice 2.x or 3.x and may already be damaged but working.


So in the end one of the three options above is the best mitigation.

You may want to exit and restart OpenOffice to ensure the new

escalate and fix it. For sure it is not reproducible on a large scale,

So again, is this a known problem with 4.1.4? Or can we dismiss it as

It's best when using any file as a template to save it with the new

Or make it read only.  However, there is something called "Templates" in
OO.  If you save templates there, you don't have to worry about overwriting.


Or simply call it "filename.ott" instead of "filename.odt". OpenOffice

OK. This is expected if you didn't import the keys. For it to succeed, 
download to the same directory:

Then run:
$ gpg --import KEYS

This will tell you that the .tar.gz file has a valid signature by Jim, 
Release Manager for 4.1.4. It might still complain that it can't verify 
that the key belongs to the reported owner, but you will have to trust 
the KEYS file for this.


This won't solve your problem with YaST at all, since this applies to 
the archive as a whole, not to the contents.



What command do you use for installation? RPM directly, something like
"rpm -Uvh *.rpm"? Or some interface to it? There is probably some
setting that you should disable in order for it to trust "unsigned"
packages (again, ours ARE signed; just, we sign the archive but not
the individual packages).

I use the Yast software software management utility.  I create a
repository by copying the contents of the downloaded file to a directory
and then tell the Yast software management to update.  I've been using
this method for years and it's never failed before.


I don't think this depends on how we packaged 4.1.4. I would be 
surprised if you get something different with 4.1.3, or any earlier 
release. Is it possible that some upgrade enforced YaST to reject 
unsigned packages?


I see the same error being reported here: 
https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/15418 for another project, and being 
tracked down to a YaST/OS issue. In that case they could solve it by 
signing the package, but in our case we already sign the .tar.gz, just 
YaST likely cannot see or handle it. So you will have to disable some 
YaST settings to get it to behave as it did in earlier times.

Coming back to the original technical issue...

We only sign the .tar.gz archive and signatures are in the .asc file 
corresponding to the archive you downloaded. So in your case the 
signature could be verified this way:
1. Download 
http://archive.apache.org/dist/openoffice/4.1.4/binaries/en-US/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.4_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz.asc
2. Run gpg --verify 
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.4_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz.asc


This will let you verify the GPG signatures; it will probably still give 
you warnings and errors if you haven't imported the keys, but we can 
discuss this separately in case.


Now coming to your issue, it seems that the software you are using for 
the installation is instead demanding that the individual RPM packages 
within the archive are signed, which is not the case (as we sign the 
archive as a whole).


What command do you use for installation? RPM directly, something like 
"rpm -Uvh *.rpm"? Or some interface to it? There is probably some

If you simply answer "no" to the option of keeping your profile when you 
upgrade from 3.x to 4.x, you get a new and working profile without the 
need to look for workarounds later.


So this can be "solved" by simply not upgrading 3.x profiles any longer 
by default, starting with OpenOffice 4.2.0.

What do you mean by automatic updates?

OpenOffice currently support update notifications; provided you enabled 
them (they are enabled by default), a check for updates is done weekly 
by default and you receive notification that an update is available.


The notification leads you to the download page, where you can download 
the new version and install it replacing the old one.


No other systems (like, automatic download of the updated installer or 
even automatic update of OpenOffice) are supported.

So I find it quite normal to trust an extension found on the

If it is not a false positive (unfortunately, a lot of anti-virus

While Martin's answer is correct, the custom dictionary feature is meant 
to be used for short personal wordlists, like the names of people or 
places you type often. If you want to build a dictionary for a language, 
you will want to build a language extension. The starting point is a 
pair of .dic/.aff files in Hunspell format; if you don't know how to 
generate them, you can refer to the Hunspell documentation.


The benefits of creating a Hunspell dictionary are:
- You only need to add the base word: for example, in English you add 
"visit" and automatically you get "visits", "visited", "visiting"...
- The generated dictionary can be used in many open-source programs, 
such as Firefox and Thunderbird.


Creating Hunspell dictionaries goes beyond the purpose of this mailing 
list, but if you can't find more information just ask here.

Still, if you download the file above properly (like, with wget) you get

It is. But it is updated only when a build is successful, and the build

attachments (and only your .odt file got through, while you probably 
wanted to show the PDF file).


I've now updated the screenshot above with an image from the PDF file. 
It seems that text still looks OK, except for descendants like "p", "y" 
and "j" where a few pixels are cut at the bottom.


Is this the same you are seeing? Could you put your attachments 
somewhere if your rendering is different? Your PDF reader plays a role 
here too.

  Andrea.

Hello Craig,
your document works for me. See a screenshot of a filled-out form at
http://home.apache.org/~pescetti/tmp/2016-02/screenshot-pdf-form.png
(I will leave it online for a few days).

This was done with the document you attached. Does it look OK to you or 
do you still see the issue there? All fields work as expected for me and 
I didn't notice any wrong alignments.

I'm not one of them, but moderators often take action and contact the 
person directly in these cases, and can force the unsubscribe. So the 
best way to reduce traffic and waste of time is actually to be confident 
that the moderators will address these issues at their earliest 
convenience. I can't check now, but if I recall correctly this was the 
advice given by moderators of this or some other OpenOffice list.

You can do this also without a table. OpenOffice Writer has a "Sort" 
command that does the right thing.


So, for example, if you have a Writer document like

London
Rome
Paris

and you select all, then Tools -> Sort, you will be able to sort lines 
without creating a table.

I do not understand, or
find any reasonable explanation, why our download page does not redirect

world.


Leaving all the SourceForge discussion aside, one reasonable explanation 
for this last question is that the vast majority of Apache mirrors do 
NOT mirror OpenOffice: those who do are a minority. I've just tried with 
the Italian mirrors and only 2 out of 7 offer OpenOffice. Load balancers 
are broken by this incomplete mirroring: even if you try to download the 
source package http://openoffice.apache.org/downloads.html you often 
have to try multiple mirrors before getting one that works.


In short, the ASF mirror network is not nearly as complete and reliable 
as it seems at a first look (besides having other issues such as lack of 
stats and lack of unique download URLs).

Dennis E. Hamilton wrote:

I believe the frame with release information is retrieved from SourceForge.


No, nothing from SourceForge appears on the openoffice.org domain. We 
simply link to binary files provided by them.


All the JavaScript is custom and stored in SVN. People without 
JavaScript see this notice:

  ---
Apache OpenOffice Downloads - Official Site

The browser seems to have JavaScript disabled. This technique is used 
for showing the actual download link. If you want to download Apache 
OpenOffice anyway, click this text to choose from the alternative 
download webpage. You will have to navigate to the 
version/binaries/language subfolder and and download the file named 
Apache_OpenOffice_version_os_platform_package_language.ext. Our 
apologies for the inconvenience.

  ---
Considering that we are in 2015 (I mean: people who browse without 
Javascript are doing it deliberately and are having a non-standard 
browsing experience on most sites), this is already more than enough.


The "click this text" above links to 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/files/ (surprise! 
this is where it comes from) and from there, without JavaScript, one can 
indeed browse to the folder and download OpenOffice with a mostly 
painless procedure (and no ads will be displayed).


Note: There's a typo ("and and") in the above text, I've just fixed it 
in revision 1714258.

Sad, is it not?


Maybe you got confused by the notice at the above URL saying:
  ---
Looking for the latest version? Download 
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.1_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz (161.1 MB)

Of course that page does offer 4.1.2 (just scroll down), but the URL you 
posted should never be used. As Rory wrote, 
http://www.openoffice.org/download is the only URL we advertise. And, 
unless one is seeing outdated content due to caching, you download 4.1.2 
from there.


I think Marcus (in CC) updated the "Latest version" field back at the 
time; Marcus, if you know how to update it to 4.1.2 (it is probably done 
in the SourceForge project admin panel) it would be good. It is probably 
a setting in the project admin panel somewhere, if you don't remember 
if/how you did it I can take a look too.

That is merely a check for update.  If an update is shown a available you must 
download and install it as a separate action.


Additionally, it is expected that 4.1.1 does not report any updates at 
the moment. To avoid traffic peaks, we will enable update notifications 
gradually in the next 7-10 days. See

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.2
for the detailed plan (you will see that the update feeds are the only 
item still kept on hold).


Anyway, Rory is right: the check for update just sends you to the 
download page. So it is perfectly equivalent to opening the website and 
then downloading/installing the new version.

It happens occasionally that a message bounces. Happened to me too a 
couple times, with no clear pattern. Possibly a short technical failure 
(the mailing list servers, if I understand correctly, do not retry 
delivery for several days like it happens for ordinary e-mails), 
possibly a message that was identified as spam and rejected.



And now I worry that I will be cut off. Where is this copy of the
message (11912)? I see no evidence of an actual message.


No need to worry. If delivery is regular except for very occasional 
bounces, the address will not be unsubscribed. We did see some cases of 
occasional unexpected bounces, but we never saw cases of removals.


And yes, it seems that the message your mail server sent back was either 
empty or in a format that confused the mailing list bot, so the body 
appears empty in the copy you got.

Indeed. Can we have specific examples? Like (this one is a fictional

Buonasera Massimo,
confermo che OpenOffice apre anche file DOCX e XLSX. Può usare File - 
Apri, o fare tasto destro sul file e poi Apri con... per assegnarli ad 
OpenOffice.


Questa mailing list (users) è in inglese. Per il supporto utenti in

Sylvain, thank you. Can you please make the links explicit when you talk

I've just verified that both

https://www.openoffice.org/download/
(global official download page)

and

https://www.openoffice.org/fr/Telecharger/
(French download page)

provide the official version of Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1.

So I see no problems or hijacked links on the OpenOffice site and no 
actions to be taken, unless the reporter has more details.
