LibreOffice Manager (lomanager)

[longtom]

Yep - seems 4.6.1 fixed it....  along with screwing up all my careful customizations. 

You certainly saw that one coming, didn't you?   

[pinoc]

new lomanager 3.3.1-5 in your repo, changelog:
1) the installation of the lomanager-rpm package will now also remove any existing getopenoffice desktop file even before running lomanager
2) replaced use of xterm with zenity dialogs
regards,
-p.

I've been kind of running behind on updating from OO and OO Manager to LO.  I've run LO Manager 3 or 4 times now and it all seemed smooth till the end when I got "Download Failed... Exiting".  After the first couple times, I went into Synaptic and marked all OO stuff for complete removal in case that might help.  Still the same.  Is anyone else getting the same result or do I have an odd problem to sort out?  I'm temporarily without an office!  I also have a monthly bandwidth quota so these failed DL's hurt.  [I should add that I'm running PCLOS GNOME, fully updated except for office suite.]

looks like you have an unreliable internet connection? Run lomanager on a different machine with reliable and fast internet connection, then at the end choose to keep the downloaded packages and follow the Important Notes 1 here to install LibreOffice on your local machine.
good luck,

Well.
I am tired repeating all the same.

I am tired people ask before they think.!
Or at least search.

Yo men, that's going bad. More and more.

Be at ease, my friend. Take a rest. Or just have a nap. Have a good meal. Find a beautiful woman and kiss her. You will feel better.

Fine HowTo, imo.

Actually this was on a pretty good connection averaging around 300K/s, not bad for my Cricket hookup.  Download time was around 8.5 minutes.  I was not given an opportunity to choose to keep the packages but I'll check and see if they exist.  I got this result 5 times now so I'm hoping someone can relate it to something.  BTW, I had tried it with an open wi-fi to a hotspot before trying it over the Cricket PPP.  The hotspot has no quota but it's faint today and was much slower.  And anyone thinking I was asking without searching is wrong.  I've read way more than I intended to or have time for today.  I appreciate all the fine work on LO Manager and if someone thinks of something or has the same problem, I hope to read something here after I go put in some work hours, thanks.

pinoc, that might give me an idea, just in case it would be relevant or possible for you to make use of it : your script makes use of wget, is that right ? Would it be possible for it to use the "-c" option as well, so that it resumes when downloads fail ? (Or is it already how it's suppposed to work ?)

Running lomanager in a terminal I get
