Comment 1 Robert Großkopf 2023-04-23 06:53:17 UTC
You are trying to get Firebird working with packages from SUSE. There is no Firebird available in repositories of OpenSUSE for LibreOffice.

Switch to packages from libreoffice.org and it will work well.

Following Robert's comment, let's put this one as NOTOURBUG.

I'd actually like to reopen this, since `sudo snap install libreoffice --edge` (obviously delegated to --beta) doesn't provide firebird either. The dropdown is also blank. Surely there shouldn't be an issue with the snap package, too?

I can't set the bug metadata to 7.5.3.1 (2023-04-25) since there's no option in Bugzilla, but that's the version that I refer to.

Also, the https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+log/b7648c7b88c50f810321d044831850fd6da77d2a build listen in About doesn't resolve. This is all very buggy (probably to be expected).

So: Which version do you get?

I'm using OpenSUSE a long time. Every version of LO will support Firebird, since Firebird has been introduced (LO 5.3). You have to enable experimental features to create a new Firebird database. You won't need experimental features 'on' for an existing Firebird database.

Ah, that was it.
