LibreOffice Manager (lomanager)

[Texstar]

Uncheck the vim repo. Only use the one that is listed in the link at the top of the forum.

That's the thing I needed to do!  Thank you so much!

edit:  Interesting that it felt the need to kill firefox before proceeding...still, no big deal.

I get this everytime.... and i didn't had any problem with OpenOfficeManage ?!

Problem accessing the Internet! You have either:
 a) no Internet connection, too bad :-(, or
 b) you use a proxy sever, or
 c) you have a dns-lookup error.

Note: If you are sure that your Internet connection works fine then you could try to reconfigure it:

 b) Configure your proxy server:
=================================
open a konsole and enter:
      export http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:8080
Replace with the name of your proxy server. Then in the same konsole enter:  lomanager

 c) Configure your Internet to use OpenDNS:
=================================
1. Open PCLinuxOS Control Center 'Configure Your Computer'
2. Select 'Network and Internet' -> 'Network Center', open your network connection and click the button 'Configure'
3. Uncheck 'Get DNS servers from DHCP'.
     In the box for DNS Server 1 enter: 208.67.222.222
     In the box for DNS Server 2 enter: 208.67.220.220
Click on 'OK' at the bottom right to close this dialog window.
4. Back in the Network Center window click on 'Disconnect', wait for it to finish, then click on 'Connect'.
5. Your Internet connection is now configured to use OpenDNS. Close all open PCC-windows and start lomanager again.

Note: these OpenDNS configuration steps have been saved to the file 'OpenDNS_howto.txt' in your HOME-directory.

Hi Slax,
this part is identical to OOmanager, it just checks to see if you can reach google, and if not then we assume your Internet-connection does not work or you have a DNS-problem. Up to here this has nothing to do with lomanager. Please ensure to have a working Internet connection.
regards,
-p.

But of course i have a net connection. That is what baffles me...

When i run it from the terminal i get this:

Code: [Select]

Warning: Tried to connect to session manager, None of the authentication protocols specified are supported
I'm using gnome, maybe it has something to do with that? But i think others have no problem

Regards,
Slax

Hi Slax,
gnome or the authentication protocol doesn't matter. Please copy the following in a terminal, this is what happens in lomanager/addlocale:

Code: [Select]

glov="0.2" && WICON='/usr/share/icons/office_section.png' && TITLE="LibreOffice Manager "$glov
ZEN2="zenity --window-icon="$WICON
cd /tmp && /bin/rm -f index.html* inet.log*
MSG=$"Testing your Internet connection..."
( wget --timeout=10 http://www.google.com/index.html -o inet.log ) 2>&1 | $ZEN2 --width 500 --title="$TITLE" --progress --text "$MSG" --pulsate --auto-closethen check the file /tmp/inet.log, at the end it should say OK.. and index.html saved. If you do not get this then you can not access Google for whatever reason, either no Internet connection or DNS problems, or whatever else. If the file /tmp/index.html exists lomanager will continue.

[slax]

i edited your script and changed wget timeout to 20. Now it works
I don't know why it needs more time to resolve google :|

[pinoc]

lomanager 0.2-4 coming to your repo soon, changelog:
- extended Internet connection timeout to 20 secs
- corrected Czech lomanager interface translation setup
- added more translations for lomanager desktop file (now at 21 languages, please learn English... )
- added option to quit lomanager if OO is detected
-p.

PS: there is no need to rerun lomanager if you already have LibreOffice installed

"The free office suite plus extras on DVD

The libre office box offers this compilation on a DVD is a cross section through the work of the German community in libre office . The DVD is for private and professional users alike good. libre office and the contents of the DVD are available under free licenses, and can therefore be used as often, copied and passed on.

The DVD contains installation packages for Windows, and DEB packages for RPM-based GNU / Linux distributions for Mac OS X Intel and PPC. Language for some common languages and are also included. You will also find templates for different purposes, many interesting program enhancements, dictionaries, tools and documentation for developers. All these extensions can be easily installed with a mouse click.

To complete the package includes the box, other open source programs for the office such as 7-Zip and various Mozilla products.

The prototype of the libre office box was presented to the public in the fall of 2010 and is constantly updated by our team and developed. For each new release of libre office is also a current box in the form of an ISO file for download (Bittorrent and FTP) and also as a ready-made media available. The plan also some CD-ROMs for each one operating system.

I just installed and attempted to run lomanager 0.2-4pclos2011. It failed silently when run from the main menu entry, so I tried running it from a terminal and got this message:

/usr/bin/lomanager: line 758: syntax error: unexpected end of file.

Although I had OpenOffice installed at one time, I removed all of its packages a while back.

Thanks for any help.

error due to doing too many things in parallel...
quickly fixed by Tex in 0.2-5 
-p.

[seedsgrow]

Thanks,

Installed 0.2-5 and it ran after I cleaned out var and tmp folders. Thanks.

Whoops. Spoke too soon. The script runs and appears to do everything, ending in a dialog telling me that I can start LibreOffice from a main menu entry. But LibreOffice is not actually installed. The final lines when lomanager is run from a terminal are:

/usr/bin/lomanager: line 697: 26249 Killed                  $ZEN2 --title="$TITLE" --info --timeout 3 --text "Verifying and extracting LO-base package..."  (wd: /tmp/LOtmp)
/tmp/LO_install.log: No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/libreoffice-*': No such file or directory

Installed a fresh PCLos Gnome today, including full (ibiblio) update, task-multimedia, addlocale (Dutch), lomanager (Dutch) a coffee brake and Dutch dictionary for LibreOffice.
In this order in about 45 minutes without any glitch. So no errors (for me) in lomanager 0.2-5

seedsgrow,
can you explain what exactly you cleared out in /tmp and especially under /var which is untouched by lomanager? Almost looks like you messed up the rpm-cache/database and you get the error cause you can't install any rpms any more right now? Can you install a package via Synaptic?
Try running lomanager again and remove LO, the run it again to install. 02.-3 worked fine and the only thing I added in 0.2-4 was this silly dialog for those wanting to say "Yes, I really would like to remove OO", and in there I forgot the final "if" which was corrected in 0.2-5, so there is no reason to assume that 0.2-5 should not work.
lemme know,
-p.
