Fedora :: Trying To Install Libreoffice But Cannot Open With Terminal
Feb 13, 2011
I'm trying to install libreoffice following these instructions URL.. on F14.When I get to the bit 'right click..open with termial' I get stuck because I don't see open with terminal.Please can someone tell me how to open with terminal to complete the installation.I tried using rawhide to get libreoffice but it seems unavailable.
But if I run it from the menu (applications->office->libreoffice writer) or with sudo it works fine. so something's happening with the permissions, I goes, but I don't quite understand what's wrong. I've tried deleting .libreoffice but this doesn't help. I'm using libreoffice3.3.2 and Ubuntu 11.04.
OpenSuse 11.4. LibreOffice any versions and Infra Resource OpenOffice can not open any DBF files from smb/cifs shares. At the same time he can write DBF to smb/cifs normally, but after saving it he can't open it!
Any other documents - no problem! odt, xls - any! but not DBF.. And this problem is only on OpenSUSE 11.4 and only in Libre/Open Office! Any other programms can open and write DBF files to smb/cifs shares.
I've had a problem with libreoffice - it won't open files. That is,File/Open doesn't bring up a dialog box. File/New works and so does using a filename on the command line when starting libreoffice.Now there's good news and bad news. The good news is that with help from some libreoffice-users folks, I now know what caused this and I have a workaround. The bad news is that it's a bug in Libreoffice and I need some help testing other versions, please. So here's the steps to reproduce:
(1) Login to a Gnome session (KDE may also work, dunno) (2) Start libreoffice (3) Select Tools/Options/LibreOffice/General (4) Observe in that page a checkbox 'Use LibreOffice dialogue boxes' (5) Ensure the checkbox is blank (not selected) (6) Save settings and check that File/Open pops up a dialog box. (7) Quit libreoffice and log out of the session (8) Login to an LXDE session (9) Start libreoffice (10) Select File/Open *(11) Check whether a dialog box appears (12) If not, select Tools/Options/LibreOffice/General *(13) Check whether there is a checkbox 'Use LibreOffice dialogue boxes'
If your system does NOT open a dialog box in step 11 and does NOT have a checkbox in step 13, you are seeing the same bug as me.I'm using opensuse 11.3.
I received some M$ Power Points files and cannot open then. One file was from Power Points 2010, and another saved with the option 2000-2010. These were rejected by Impress with the failure report "Version Incompatibility. Incorrect file version". When a file was saved with the option Power Point 95, Impress tried to open it but when RAM useable ramped up to > 1GB, Impress automatically shut down. The only other information wrt the files is that its highly likely they contain graphics generated with M$Visio. Has anyone had similar experiences? Are there any work arounds?
I am running fluxbox on Arch Linux. When using chromium, I would like associate .doc(x), .ppt(x), etc. with libreoffice by default. If I try to click on the file once it has downloaded in chromium (on bar at bottom) if i add "libreoffice:" to the end of the list of browsers it works like I would like it to.This is obviously not the best method (I am not even certain why it is trying to open the file from other browsers, xdg-open file is quite intimidating)
I have a very quick question (and I can't believe I can't figure this one out myself: sorry). I installed 11.04 this weekend. Now, when I download, say, a word doc using FireFox, LibreOffice doesn't by default open the file (instead, Wine tries to open it; but, alas, fails). Now, when I try to open with another application, when prompted by the Firefox download window, I have no idea how to allocate LibreOffice as the programme to open the download. I can navigate to the .libreoffice folder, for example, but then I'm presented with many other folders, with many files, etc, and I have no idea how to set LibreOffice to open the file.
I know I can save file to hard-drive, then open manually. However, I would like to be able to simply open the file directly with LibreOffice.
i'm trying to install the your-tube downloader so i can get stuff off videos again, but having trouble. the instructions say to open a terminal at the directory of the extracted files and run the yourtube-downloader file, but i don't know how to do that. i tried just opening a terminal and running it, but it doesn't work. how do i do this?

FrostWire download from the official page, when installing the rpm, not open, try opening the console, I get the same erro that having installed the program as follows
I just switch to fedora from windows recently. And I love the terminal of fedora alot. The problem is when I run some command on the terminal, I need to wait for that command to finish before executing another command. This is very inconvinient, say If I open eclipse using the terminal, this eclipse program will hog to the terminal until I closed it. So if I want to use terminal again I have to open another one.Hence the question is: Is there any way open multi processes(command) using only one terminal?
I get error when trying to open files with gedit from terminal, here the esteps:

When I try and run gedit command through terminal to edit files it won't open them

I've fallen in love with Terminator as a replacement for the standard gnome-terminal app.
However, I'm also very much in the habit of using the nautilus-open-terminal extension for launching new terminal sessions.
I'd like nautilus-open-terminal to launch Terminator rather than gnome-terminal.
A quick search of my system and the web didn't reveal anything. i didn't find a gconf setting to control this. A quick look at the source code didn't help much either.
I have a problem that I can't seem to figure out. I can easily create a .sh file that will execute a command in Terminal, but as soon as it executes the terminal disappears. How do I get it to stay? My idea is to have the keyboard shortcut "ctrl+alt+del" open a .sh file with the contents "ps ax". Then it would be just like having a task manager; the terminal would open with "ps ax" already executed, and all I would have to do is kill the process number.

For a month or two I have been trying to install a en_NZ dictionary for Libreoffice. It is available from the openoffice extensions page - which I am directed to by selecting Libreoffice > Tools > Language > More Dictionaries Online.
However for the past month or two this page has had problems. Every time I click on any of the extensions I am taken to an error page that states "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."
Does nobody maintain the openoffice extension pages any more?

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and I have OpenOffice installed. Is it possible to install LibreOffice 3.3 from PPA even though it is said that the commands target Maverick? Do I have to uninstall OpenOffice before installing LibreOffice?
I wanted to try LibreOffice out. I found a PPA for it, so I added the source, tried it out, didn't like it, and noticed that openoffice now won't work. Which isn't too big of a deal, but now I can't even get the software center to install it. It gives me some error that you can read in the screenshot. What can I do?
