OpenSUSE :: Switch To Libre Instead Of OpenOffice?
Apr 23, 2011
why openSuSE chose to switch the default Office from openOffice to LibreOffice?First, I at least looked at libre, looks ok.Then, I went to the 'site' found NO support, forum etc. was directed to opendesktop and again, No forum, not way to comment other than irc and that is way to easy to be 'band from' if they don't like what one has to say...
I, as of this post, have not read anything overwhelming about libreoffice.. this switch is, at this point, not as bad a the fools over at KDE deciding without the use of a normal brain, to switch default file manager from konqueror to dolphin.. my Uncle Art ('unky') used to say, 'for free, take. to buy, shop around'... and Dad said, 'if it's free you can't *****, especially if you contributed nothing'....

I have to go back to 10.10 for a while until the bugs are worked out. Can I force install Libre on the 10.10 version of Ubuntu?

As in title, I'm using Libre Office on my OpenSuse 11.4 and there is no 'Record' option under macro. I have search the net and some suggest this solution - to check box 'Enable experimental features' in Options. I did that but still no Record Macro at all.

Just upgraded to 11.04 and not sure why Libre applications cannot see the windows network. The file manager can see it fine and I can mount the volumes fine. not sure if it is a Linux problem or a Libre problem

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit, remove-with-leaves
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

I have an nfs share that mounts automatically when kde starts.
Code:
wendy@DellNB:~$ cat .kde/Autostart/mountNAS.sh
#!/bin/bash
mount ~/TestShare
#echo "NAS Mounted"
[code]...
Gimp works fine editing and saving photos from/to the nfs share. kWrite can do its thing and read/create files on the NAS. Files I create with vim are visible and editable under windows. OpenOffice however, when I try an open a file I get "file is locked by unknown user." I open as copy and try saving to the share with a different name... No Dice, error saving to share the file is created on the share but it is empty. I did some reading and found a post that said to comment a line from a file called soffice, which I cannot find.

I recently installed OpenSUSE 11.3 x86_64 on my dual core AMD box. Everything seems to run great except for OpenOffice Spreadsheet. Whenever I attempt to open a spreadsheet it crashes on me.

11.3 install with gnome desktop on old PC (it's not near me, can give spec later if needed). If one goes to start open office suite, writer, calc, etc. You get the open office splash screen with suse and the meter gets almost completely loaded (probable 99%) then it just stalls. Within a minute or two the screen disappears and no open office. Any ideas It was a fresh install and I haven't added anything other than multimedia packages and KDE base/apps. All other apps. load fine. Should I remove OOO and then add it again?

My system:
openSUSE 11.2
Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop x86_64
KDE: 4.4.4 "release 3"
My problem: I just did a "zypper dup" to upgrade to KDE 4.4.4 from 4.3.5. All seem to have went well aside from that openoffice won't start anymore. I do get the initial splash and it goes away but then nothing else happens. I have tried both by clicking an .odt document and by starting it from Kickstart menu, same negative result. All other programs seem to be running fine as before. The current version of OO is now 3.2.1.6-1.1-x86_64
What I've tried: I tried to swith all packages to OpenOffice community repository,restarted pc but the result is still the same. I also did an unconditional update, restarted but the result is still the same.

I de-crappified a new laptop last week for a friend and set him up with OpenOffice.I had earlier salvaged files from his old PC HD, saved them to my Box. Most of his office files were actually the dreaded M$ Works (.wps)But I tried them and OpenOffice had no trouble, least in Linux that is.I burned his files to a DVD-RW and copied them to his new Laptop. OpenOffice for windows wouldn't have anything to do with the .wps filesStrange or what !

I've been dealing with "blurred" menus on my openoffice and I'm not quite sure how to approach it. I've done some google searching but perhaps I'm using the wrong terms because nothing helpful is coming up.

When I look for install of Libre Office I find a download on the Libre site with a list of install files that are longer than the reach of my patience.
I can't find it in Software Center. Shouldn't it be there?

My low-down lousy computer crashed while I had two spreadsheets (Libre Calc) open. When I re-booted the 'tater, then clicked on the launchers for my spreadsheets, Libre Calc opened new, blank documents.
Is there a way to find the lost spreadsheets? If I can't have the whole things, then just the data would be OK.

Okay so I have a file that I always save and close properly and get in my Ubuntu One folder for backup that will not open. Its called "Income.ods" and is quite important and I cannot seem to recover it. When I double click it, it shows the Libre Office Calc splash screen shows up then goes away and the nothing, no error messages, no nothing. I tried to open it on my Windows Vista machine and it said it was corrupted and could not open in Office Word. I tried a few recovery tools but to no avail.

I just realized my Thesaurus function is inactive. Ctrl F7 does nothing, and on the pull down menu Tools>Language the Thesaurus option is greyed out.
I went to Tools>Options>Writing Aids and under the Language Modules, Thesaurus is listed but no dictionary box to click. No sub module listed under Thesaurus.
There a spell check dictionary listed and marked -- Hunspell Checker.
When I go to the OOo extension page I see no Thesaurus files to download?
How can I get the Thesaurus working as without it Writer is going to be pretty useless. I am using the GB dictionary.
I tried upgrading to OOo 3.1 but that hasn't helped either.
