I had made a database in OOO Base, but I guess because of the size, it's not uncommon for it to crash. Now that testing and Sid are now using LibreOffice, is the database any more stable? Or...is there an alternative database package to be used only on a local machine without a server?
I'm using debian wheezy and i managed to install libreoffice 4.3.3.2 from debian wheezy backports.
The LO program works fine, except that i can't use reports in LO Base. When I'm trying to use a report file that already exists in a base file, i'm getting the message "loading component library <file:///usr/lib/libreoffice/program/librptlo.so> failed.
I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 and Libreoffice 3.3. My Base is very very slow. I've already tried changing the JRE to the Oracle/Sun latest version and the problem is still there. The problem doesn't seem to be in the file, since I can open it on my Windows 7 Libreoffice, without any problems. Solving this bug is important for me to definitely migrate from Windows to Linux.
I've just installed Opensue 11.4 (gnome-desktop) on my machine. The problem is that, if I open a database-form with libreoffice base, no navigation-bar appeares. The option "navigation" from the view-menu is not active. The database uses the built-in HSQLDB in single user mode. Navigation via libreoffice-basic is possible and I can see the first record - just it is not possible to navigate manually.
I've recently converted two Ubuntu 10.04 (one 64, one 32bit) machines to LibreOffice. We've used OpenOffice.org since early 2.x The issue is a database file created in OOo and now needing to be accessed in LO. As far as I know, there shouldn't be any issue with file compatibility. On the 64 bit machine, (a Ubuntu server installation - not headless) the file opens with no trouble and is fully accessible. (forms, reports, tables, etc.) However, on the 32 bit machine, trying to access the file over the network on the server via samba (because we also have Windows machines on the network, so I serve it all up via samba) I am able to open the database, but get the following error when trying to access any table, form or report: The connection to the data source "Mattress Prices" could not be established.
I am thinking about creating a Debian Live CD with only the base system. I would like to know how to make the CD bootable so that it can load the kernel and continue with the booting sequence.
I am trying couple of days now and I did not managed to intall it non of the ubuntu how to found on the web seemed to works with debian, doesnt anyone has some time to write a install libreoffice how to?
I have a router that is 1000 Base T and two computers each with ethernet cards that support 1000 Base T. All are equipped with Cat 5e cable. Before I had a router that only went up to 100 Base T and I would setup one box with linux running proftpd. On the other box,I would use win xp pro and use firefox to ftp into the other box and download a file. Download speeds went up to 11.2 MB/sec. Now when I switched routers, I expected something like 120 MB/sec but I'm only getting 5.3 MB/sec. What do I need to change?
What is a .dps file, how do I view the same in debian ? I did try a file and this is what I got :-
Code: Select all[$] file UEFI.dps                                                         UEFI.dps: Composite Document File V2 Document, Little Endian, Os: Windows, Version 6.1, Code page: 1200, Author: xxxxx, Total Editing Time: Sat Dec 30 05:00:00 1899, Last Printed: Sat Dec 30 05:00:00 1899, Create Time/Date: Fri Sep 23 20:07:58 2011, Last Saved Time/Date: Sat Dec 30 05:00:00 1899, Number of Pages: 0, Number of Words: 0, Number of Characters: 0, Security: 0, Locale ID: 2052
The .dps file is some Microsoft format. Libreoffice plays it cool. Although do get errors on the console like :-
I'm trying to install Libre Office by using the installation instructions on: [URL].. It goes wrong when i have to decompress the .tar file. I get this message: tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
How do I install a base version of GNOME I only use a few programs (GIMP, Ksnapshot, Abiword, Amarok, Totem (media player), Kopete, Google Chrome, Synaptic Package Manager, and of course the terminal) and want the smallest installation possible.
Also last time I did it my volume hotkeys didn't work any ideas what else I need to get them working again So summed up: How do I get the smallest installation of GNOME and what do I need to get my hotkeys working?I am waiting on my disc to be delivered so i wont be able to tell you if it helped I also did the base installation with Debian Lenny so I'm not suer if it has the hotkey problem
I am trying to start OpenOffice Base (3.2.0) but it keeps crashing once I begin to edit a new data base. Calc, Writer and Impress work fine.
ramack@ramack2:~$ soffice -base ramack@ramack2:~$ libgcj failure: gcj linkage error. Incorrect library ABI version detected. Aborting.
I haven't a clue as to how to fix this one. A web search finds a Debian bug that a couple years+ old. The bug has since been resolved. It crashes if run as root too
I've got excited when I saw the possibilty to use my Owncloud account (my server is installed on a Digital Ocean cloud machine) directly on the system configuration.
Well, I added the acount there and my owncloud webdav folder appeared on Nautilus everytime I turn my PC on, what's great. So I've started to save my Libreoffice docs on the cloud, believing that I finally got free from google docs.
I have box that I run Sid on. I haven't used if for a month or so and have found that OpenOffice is gone and appears to have been replace by LibreOffice. I have come across one other thread which noted something similar. Is LibreOffice any better than OpenOffice? I plan to purge LibreOffice and install OpenOffice back on unless there is a good reason to keep LibreOffice.
I installed libreoffice from the official Debian repository. Even after a clean installation of Debian Jessie, Libreoffice started and ran only once. After that, when LO was started, it gave an error message: "Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module".I installed "canberra-gtk-module." From then on, LO never gave any error message in terminal. The banner flashes across the screen for a moment and then disappears.
I deleted ~/.config/libreoffice folder and started LO again. Each time the command "libreoffice" is run in terminal, it creates the configuration files in ~/.config folder.I created a new user to check if LO would run. It does run when a new user account is created. But the problem keeps coming back.
After uninstalling libreoffice, I tried installing openoffice 4. Even openoffice 4 wouldn't start. The banner would just appear for a moment.
I did a base install, ran apt-get install xterm twm iceweasel xinit the install went fine, but when i run xinit, it says i need a link in /usr/bin called X to Xauth. I could not locate Xauth.
I'm a newbe to Debian & Linux but I am trying to get a base system installed on a small touchscreen computer without the Gnome environment. I am using Debian 5 but the resolution of the screen has not configured correctly with the command line screen appearing offset to the right.
I use scim to input Chinese in Libreoffice-writer. It worked on one of my computers until a couple of days ago.
Normally to start scim I press Ctrl and the space bar at the same time. Then I use the input method Cangjie to input Chinese.
Now when I do so in Libreoffice-writer "English/European" appears in the scim panel. The other choice is "English/Keyboard". The choice of either doesn't enable me to input Chinese.
In all other software scim works as before.
The computer runs Debian sid. On another computer that runs Debian sid too I don't have the same problem. I have version 5 of Libreoffice on both computers.
I want to use LibreOffice but I keep getting an error every time I try to open any office application.
The error is : The application cannot be started. [context="bundled"] caught unexpected exception!
I installed the .debs the first time and thought it might be wiser to install it from the experimental repos.So I reinstalled but there's no difference,I keep getting the error.
I reinstalled and found that the same error is caused by the installation for the dictionaries.I removed those but the error is still present.
I've seen people post this error on some forums except context=user and not bundle.However,it seems those were Windows 7 machines and that it's a 64 bit bug.
I'm also running the 64 bit version.
Also,if I try to install the desktop-integration .debs I get another error ( that is,if I remove the dictionaries,otherwise the installation runs just fine ) :
For my desktop use, I wanted to keep my office suite and web browser updated while continuing to run Debian stable as my base. Here is how to install the latest Firefox and Libreoffice packages on Squeeze. Download Firefox 4 here. Then as root:
Code: mv firefox*.tar.bz2 /opt cd /opt tar -xvjf firefox*.tar.bz2 ln -s /opt/firefox /usr/local/firefox4 ln -s /usr/local/firefox4/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox4 rm firefox*.tar.bz2 [Code].....
It will install Libreoffice in /opt and the packages will show up in Synaptic Package Manager under "Local". The installation automatically creates menu entries in Gnome for Libreoffice applications. I've had no problems thus far using the latest Libreoffice 3.2.2 and Firefox 4. Hope this is helpful for anyone else wanting to install.
I downloaded the first Lenny DVD for amd64, wrote it but on trying the install on my laptop (Gateway NV5389u) I cant get past the installing base system step: I get an error that some files are corrupt / cannot be read from the DVD. I am wondering whether there's a way I can download a minimal version or just the files needed for the base system installation then use the same DVD to install the packages, coz I have a terribly slow internet connection it took me a whole 2 days to download, and I surely cant stand any more of it.
After doing this I rebooted my server (a few days later). After rebooting I had no ipv4. I tried statically assigning IP addresses to no avail. Ran ifconfig eth0 down/up which got me nowhere. Eventually decided to ask "Okay, what changed". Started installing packages that were autoremoved. Had to install from the apt cache using dpkg. First one I tried was sendmail-base. Then did ifconfig eth0 down/up, which gave me networking back.
I have checked the dependencies for sendmail-base and I see nothing that would relate to networking, so I'm really confused on why this happened. I had backups of the server so I went a week back and noticed sendmail-base was installed at that time. So I went a day back, where sendmail-base wasn't installed, and installed it. Sure enough it brought back networking. I'm just stating this because it is more proof that sendmail-base was the missing component.
