LibreOffice Manager (lomanager)

[Just17]

With zenity, which I think is what pinoc uses to create the dialogues, the text in the buttons is a given. There are many times they could have more appropriate labels, but we're stuck with "Yes" and "No". They used to be "OK" and "Cancel" which made phrasing the question even harder!

For at least the Question Dialog Box you can change the button text .......

Just wanted to say that I updated last night, got the latest LOManager, ran it, and updated to LibreOffice 3.5 without a hitch.  Good work, pinoc!

You're right, Just18. How odd that the zenity manual doesn't list all the options! You have to type a help option in a terminal to see what's available.

I stand corrected.

In this situation most people will Exit, which is 'Yes' and set as default, so it's ok.

Sure. Seems fine.  I thought the button text was editable.

And of course the new Online Update feature

That'll work well -  if you run as root!
(Don't even think about it!)

updated lomanager to 3.5.1 (should be in your repo shortly) and the offline installers, see Option 1b here
-p.

Updated Lomanager and it installed version 3.5.1 with no issues whatsoever.  Thank you.

I have suggestion about the LOManager .

Can You please change the timing on one of the stops? It asks do You want to keep RPMs in the /tmp/ folder and it only gives 15 seconds to click or it will delete them by default. I am wanting to keep the RPMs but sometimes I will get distracted and boom - it's gone ... Add another 15 seconds or so and I should be golden.

Thanks!

Hi Andy,
no, I will not do that because then other people will say "I leave this thing running on its own but why do I now have to wait 30 secs until it continues? I am not Andy!" or should I code something like
If $USER = Andy then
  "wait 5 minutes or ring the bell to get distracted Andy alerted"
ELSE
  " do the usual thing"
FI   

 

nope, just leave as is, may include some other things like automatically check for latest version on LO-server without needing updated lomanager.
But not much time for costing right now,
-p.

Bugger... Oh well... I will have to edit the script before installing myself then... ...

that's one way, other options are:
- wait a couple of secs and then click the option to keep the downloaded packages
- use the offline installer, which looks to me like the best option for your case, or?
have a nice day!

LOmanager installed LO3.5.1 flawlessly.
Also, I just noticed that it automatically updated JRE which I think had to be done manually before.
Well done Pinoc, tx
