Hi youcantoo,
lomanger does not use any of the PCLOS repos, or only to install Java should that be missing. Just installed LO today and lomanager worked just fine. I assume you use the latest lomanager3.3.1-5 package? Please also check here and followup posts for a similar problem. Btw, the new 3.3.2 should be out any day now.
best,
-p.

Hmmm something must have changed. I just got the failed message too.

This is the contents of my /root/LOtmp folder.

LibO_3.3.1_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz

Using LibreOffice Manager 3.3.1 I also got the failure but It was on a 2 weeks since updated install. I have a snapshot so I will reboot and update and see if the failure happens again after the update.

ok, confirmed here as well. The LO-guys changed a file on their download site which I used to verify the download, and they removed the md5checksum  ::)
It's late here but I will send a fixed lomanager version up tomorrow morning.
best,

How dare they change things around, after all the work you went through to make it so easy for use ;)  I went to their website and downloaded the tar file and did the install that way. 

Thanks for all you do!

Hi, can you be more specific.
The lomanager script failed to download Libre Office for me as well as this.

Can you give the URL and also the file you downloaded please.

Look for, install, and run the new lomanager3.3.1-6 once it appears in the repo later today.

Package processed and shipped to repos. Thanks for the update. I like how you added on the installation page, installation complete close the window. :D

Thanks for the quick shipping. Yes, I thought the additional info "Installation complete" might be useful to avoid people starring at a window and wondering what is happening now...  ::)  ;D
