Running LibreOffice 3.3 beta2 on my (outdated) kubuntu 7.10 I experience reproducible freeze on operations calling the "save as" dialog box. File -> save (or Icon) File -> save as File -> export to pdf... (or Icon) File -> open doesn't show any effect. all of these leave [soffice.bin] <defunct> processes System: KDE 3.5.8 Linux bombadil 2.6.22-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 2 01:27:50 GMT 2009 i686 GNU/Linux I also reproduced on Kubuntu 8.04 valid LTS system: KDE 3.5.10 Linux hardy 2.6.24-28-generic #1 SMP Sat Oct 16 17:46:03 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux Friedrich
Forgot to mention: Installation from deb packages LibO_3.3.0_beta2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz same effect installing from repo: deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/gericom/libreoffice /
do we still even support kde3 :-/ iirc it doesn't ( but I am not sure ) does... export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=none in the konsole before manaually launching libreoffice ( 'soffice' ) from the cmd line help?
Hi Noel, > do we still even support kde3 :-/ iirc it doesn't ( > but I am not sure ) I stick with it using kdepim due to optimizing to death kmail and a not reasonable working adressbook/akonadi server in kubuntu lucid.. >does... >export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=none >in the konsole before manaually launching libreoffice ( 'soffice' ) > from the cmd line help? yes! Then the LibO dialogboxes are called as far as I see in an ultrashort review. Is there a way to make LibO recognizing that an do the right thing? Friedrich
like I said, I am not sure exactly what the state of kde3 support is, putting this to lubos ( who is on vacation at the moment ) who might have more of an idea
This bug persists in beta3 any progress on this? I managed to work around by change settings: Tools -> options -> LibreOffice -> general -> [x] use LibreOffice dialogs instead of setting the environment export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=none this avoids changing all *.desktop files. And having crashfree LibO started from elsewhere :o)) Friedrich
I'm afraid obsolete KDE3 is way too low priority for this getting any attention, sorry. Either use the workaround from comment #5 or use KDE4 (note that you can use KDE4 workspace together with KDE3 KMail, assuming Kubuntu provides the necessary packages).
Should be fixed now, after all.
Have to reopen this one. Problem persists with Libo-3.3.2. What should be the expected behaviour after the fix? As I was upgrading it's probably an issue of preferences already present. So if You tell me under which conditions it should work, I'll test and help estimate, whether this is reasonable to avoid bad experience in a range wide enough. Friedrich
3.3.2 is too old.
