I just found out about Libre Office. I am currently using Open Office on my Netbook (ubuntu 10.10), and NeoOffice on my Macbook (OS/X 10.6.7).
QUESTION: I have some backups using these formats: .sdw, and .odt. Can Libre Office read documents saved in these (StarOffice / Open Office) formats?
FWIW: I would have preferred to use OO on both machines, but unfortunately OO never fixed a problem with printing envelopes in the Macintosh version. Hence my use of NeoOffice.
I have both installed, but since LO is going to be the way Ubuntu goes for office applications, can I easily have my system setup for native LO? Native being if I double clock on a .doc file it will start up LO's Write program instead of OO.Will just removing OO achieve this or is there an easier way? I looked for file associations and didn't find it.
just downloaded meerkat wich comes with Libre Office. I tried to download the help file from Inkscape and that works fine. But when I tried to print it out, only text appears on the paper together with the frames for the pictures. What am i doing wrong or is it a bug.? Never had troubles with Open Office.
When I try to start any Libre office app from a terminal (because the panel will not start them at all) I get this (attached) I open System Monitor and check processes and according to that Libre Office is not running. Can anyone explain what Unity is doing? and how to fix it.
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.
I create a file in Libre/Open Office. Put PNG graphic file into it. Save file as .doc (not .odt).Close it and re-open.As a result, I see placeholder for my PNG image and only small thumbnail in the corner.Tried to find solution in Google and did not find anything.Did anybody experience same problem?How can I get my PNG images to show correctly in LO/OOo?
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?
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 have Ubuntu 10.10 and Open Office 3.2.1. I guess that this problem may affect Libre Office too, but I will be happy to be proved wrong about that. I am editing a document that was originally produced in Microsoft Word (the standard .doc format). It is a form produced by a national organisation and it has to be sent back to them, and when submitted it has to be no longer than two A4 pages. It contains a series of headings and (expanding) text boxes for content.
In order to be sure about the length, I did most of the editing with Microsoft Word on my wife's laptop. On that machine, and on a PC that has a different version of Word, the document fits exactly within the two-page limit. But on my laptop, using Open Office, it appears considerably longer, taking up two-and-a-half pages. Why is this, and can anything be done to correct it? Open Office appears to be using the same fonts as Microsoft Word - the font names are the same, anyway - and the font sizes are the same, yet the text appears to take up more of the page display.
I've ran into something rather odd. I've installed wine and Office 2007. If I am to open a office 2003 (doc) or office 2007 (docx) file, it will open wine and office 2007 to edit the file. This is the desired behaviour. If I am to open an office 2003 (doc) file in firefox, openoffice will be opened. If I am to do the same with an office 2007 (docx) file, wine and office 2007 will open.where to start to get wine/office 2007 to open files from firefox?
Just upgraded kubuntu to Lucid and found no KDE installed: bad news: if you're on kubuntu KDE should be upgraded automatically. So using kpackagekit in gnome installed the standard metapackage and got the option to log in with KDE (good news) but then KDE failed: segmentation fault in knotify4.it would not report the error: too little information. it dropped me back into an incomplete gnome environment (no top and bottom tool lines).
Sometime ago I realized my Open Office had changed, I don't remember having done anything in particular but today it isn't the regular open office but what I believe is a KDE version or idk. The theme changed and instead of regular menus I get "window" menus, in the sense that they get effects as regular windows. It's hard to explain it.

I tried uninstalling it and installing open office and also in the soft center open office is more than once, but I tried the different versions and I still get the same problem.

I have been using compiz on my laptop loaded with Lucid,without any problems.Recently i reinstalled lucid but now i dont have a compositing manager, I try
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 fresh and was putting my preferences back in for Firefox and MythTV and such when I noticed Evolution wouldn't start. I would click on it and the cursor would change for about 5 seconds and then nothing. I tried uninstalling Evolution (big mistake), but after I got back into the desktop, Evolution still wouldn't start. I can't seem to find anything around here that deals with this. Where should I start to debug this?
Awhile back I was playing around with Plymouth and GDM resolutions. I followed some wrong instructions and screwed up my GDM. I have fixed my GDM, sorta, but at times it will not start or when it does the login screen has strange pixel errors.
Sometimes it starts fine without any problems or pixel errors. Other times I have to boot 2 to 3 times before GDM will start.
If GDM starts with pixel errors, I can still login to Ubuntu and the rest of the OS runs fine. Pixel errors only happen in GDM.
When GDM fails to start I get a blank black screen. Cannot enter command line. OS seems frozen and I have to reboot.
I'm running desktop Ubuntu 9.10 on my Dell laptop. Previously it was Ubuntu 9.04. After some period of time (lets say 3-4 months) my X fails to start automatically after some restart calls. If that takes place my network manager applet doesn't start either (after I do startx).
I get a perfect server boot meaning there's no Xorg started. Command line interface is all I get starting from login and further.
How to resolve this apache2 problem I keep getting, I have installed a debian LAMP server with ispconfig3 and everytime I reboot apache fails to start, I don't know and I have done some research but nothing seems to work, which leads me to reinstall everything from scratch again, I think I have reinstalled at least 10x or more.
I've got a couple of nagging issues that may or may not be related to each other. First, although I have this machine set to log me on automatically (I'm the only user ever and there's no public access) it doesn't; I get the standard login welcome screen. In the system menu (from Applications) I have two login managers: "Login Screen" and "Login Screen (GDM2)". The first of these shows I'm configured for automatic login, as does the custom.conf file in /etc/gdm. However when I click its "unlock" button, it flashes orange momentarily but nothing else happens. The second manager doesn't seem to have any effect on the problem...
The other issue is that my networking fails to start during boot-up; I'm not using the network manager applet and am not starting it; instead I have the three NICs in the machine (which serves as the router and gateway for my LAN) configured in /etc/network/interfaces. Once I am logged in, I can run "sudo service networking start" from a Terminal window and everything works properly, but adding that same line to /etc/rc.local (minus the "sudo" of course) had no effect on the problem. Both issues happen only at boot time, and since this machine normally runs 24/7 except immediately after certain updates or when troubleshooting they're not show-stoppers, but I greatly prefer to have my systems working the way I've configured them rather than going off in other directions!
I've just updated to 11.04 from 10.10.After restarting desktop does not startIt says [OK] for every command line, but nothing 'graphical' happensOn and other console I tried:
