A problem with lomanager (SOLVED)

[bicol_willem]

Hi all, I am trying to make a new remaster based on the latest and greatest KDE 2011-6 installer.
Install went just fine and all seems to work. However lomanager consistly fails to do its job. It downloads the base package for up to 75% at times and then ... POOF, is gone without a trace.
When opened from a konsole it shows, when disappearing, just:

[guest@localhost ~]$
Internet connection working

Job completed
sed: couldn't flush stdout: Broken pipe

Duno what "pipe' is broken but the job is certainly not completed.

I have done a re-install of both OS and lomanager in the end but ... problem remains.
(Installer checked, checksum is correct)

Anyone sees the same or has a solution (aside of manually install of LibreOffice).

EDIT:

Yet an other try leads to a 'spit out' of more details:

Looks like you are running lomanager from a user-account called guest on a installed system based on your remaster, is that correct? Running it on a user-account guest on a 2011.06 KDE system works fine here.  
From your output it is evident that the LO-base package was not retrieved completely or the download was interrupted manually, all the rest is just followup errors.  I assume you have enough empty space on / of your installed system? On your remaster: did you remove anything that was on KDE2011.06? And apparently you included Java on your remaster?
-p.

Yep, new install with user account guest ... The idea is to create a remaster with some add-ons like indeed java and LO etc. This for give away's, saving the crowd's many installs to start with.
About the interruption of the download, I wouldn't know nor think so. No problems with Internet (at the moment that is, LOL). Manual interruption: No, it happens even when no-one is near to the PC.
Nothing removed from the original CD installer yet. Java: Isn't that called by lomanager when not present?
I am puzzled by this for a trial install using lomanager on a other box (re-install) works a charm.
Space enough be it the (dedicated) drive is just 40 Gb. Run file system check on it as well as memtest, etc. but drive seems ok. A bit weird for it all seems to run fine but something tells me now it got to be a "isolated" problem on this particular PC. That said, this PC I use a lot for remastering and this problem is new to me.

hmm, don't really know what could cause this problem. I mentioned Java because that is checked for first before downloading LO and this didn't appear in your output, I must assume it is already installed. Maybe you can try the offline-install provided by running lomanager an a different system? Btw, is the system which shows the problem and standard en_US or a localized system, though that shouldn't make any difference but who knows...
-p.

Checked for java and its installed. probably during a earlier attempt to install LO. System is standard en_US.  Going to try a off-line install and see how that goes and behave. Thx.

Ran lomanager on a fully updated and "aptupgraded" LXDE for to upgrade from 3.3 to the latest version.
I ended with the menu item of LO-writer only but it seems not installed (searching by which and whereis).

So I ran lomanager from terminal in root mode. It seems the script looks up for a non existing address:

# lomanager

yes, 3.4.0 was replaced with 3.4.1 and a new lomanager will be out shortly
-p.

[Vorteggs]

I replaced in the script all 3.4.0 with 3.4.1 (except the first) and I think I am up

maybe for a new install but not in all occasions, safer to wait for lomanager 3.4.1
-p.

[Vorteggs]

You are right and I will run it again after the update.

But I needed LO now and I was without it because lomanager uninstalled the previous version prior to (is it?) successful downloading of the new. May be it is good to swap the order if so?

[bicol_willem]

"We" have a problem right now (Not only "me", which is ... encouraging, to "Me" that is...)

Grrr!

You are encouraged by me having problem?
 

But I fixed my problem

[bicol_willem]

hehehe, it wasn't "me" having a problem, it was ME! 

(still have but ... history learns the same will fade away somehow...)

I just ran the lomanager to get the LibreOffice 3.4.1. For some weird reason it hangs on the Getting LO-help packages step.

I have few "Job finished" entries in the Konsole. It shows that the download was completed (0 seconds left) yet the download bar is just hanging there... There is plenty of space on my hdd. Internet connection is stable. I am running 2010.12 fully upgraded with kde 4.6.5 and 38.8 a64 kernel.

Any ideas folks?

It could be a case where the libreoffice people are moving files around on their servers and the script is not finding them where they were yesterday. Let me check by removing and running the lomanager again.
