The Address Book Wizard is the issue - see: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32948 [Address Book Data Source Wizard Doesn't Work] Note: in 3.4.2 when I do as you've done above I see the same and I can actually connect to my proper SeaMonkey Address Book (~/.mozilla/seamonkey...). However, in 3.3.3 I get 'Mozilla Address Book' instead and it just hangs. Thunderbird Address Book works (File|New|Database). I'm still trying to troubleshoot the difference between the two. @PHB: I have these archived: $ ls Lib* LibO_3.3.2_Linux_x86_helppack-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.3.2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.3.3_Linux_x86-64_helppack-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.3.3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.3.3_Linux_x86_helppack-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.3.3_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.3.3_Win_x86_helppack_en-US.exe LibO_3.3.3_Win_x86_install_multi.exe LibO_3.4.0beta3_Linux_x86-64_helppack-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.0beta3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.0beta3_Linux_x86_helppack-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.0beta3_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.0beta4_Linux_x86_helppack-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.0beta4_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.0beta5_Linux_x86-64_helppack-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.0beta5_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.0beta5_Linux_x86_helppack-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.0beta5_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.0beta5_Win_x86_helppack_en-US.exe LibO_3.4.0beta5_Win_x86_install_multi.exe LibO_3.4.0rc2_Linux_x86_helppack-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.0rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.1rc1_Linux_x86_helppack-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.1rc1_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.1rc3_Linux_x86_helppack-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.1rc3_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.1rc3_Win_x86_helppack_en-US.exe LibO_3.4.1rc3_Win_x86_install_multi.exe LibO_3.4.2rc2_Linux_x86_helppack-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.4.2rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz LibO-URE_3.4rc1_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz Or: http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/ http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/stable/ And for OOo: http://archive.services.openoffice.org/pub/openoffice-archive/stable/ http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/archive.html And similar 64bit versions if you need. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
