Hello @ll, while triaging some of bugzilla's bugs, I discovered the following: 1. Start LO from command line 2. Go to "Tools – Options – Language Settings – Language" You will now see <quote> W: Unknown node under /registry/extlang: deprecated W: Unknown node under /registry/grandfathered: comments W: Unknown node under /registry/grandfathered: comments </quote> on the command line. 3.. Close the Options dialogue and quit LO Now you will see <quote> Usage information: StartModule;.uno:OptionsTreeDialog;1 StartModule;.uno:Quit;1 Usage information end thackert@morpheus:~$ LO/instdir/5000rc3/opt/libreoffice5.0/program/soffice W: Unknown node under /registry/extlang: deprecated W: Unknown node under /registry/grandfathered: comments W: Unknown node under /registry/grandfathered: comments Usage information: StartModule;.uno:OptionsTreeDialog;1 StartModule;.uno:Quit;1 Usage information end </quote> there. Not sure, if I have chosen the right component and severity. If not, feel free to change :) OS: Debian Testing AMD64 LO: Version: 5.0.0.3 Build ID: f79b5ba13f5e6cbad23f8038060e556217e66632 Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8) (parallel installed, following the instructions from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux, and with Germanophone lang- as well as helppack). If you need any further information, feel free to ask :) Thomas.
These 'Unknown node' warnings come from liblangtag, not libreoffice itself. And they are harmless.
I also see the same problem when running Libreoffice on an existing document: $ libreoffice --version LibreOffice 4.4.5.2 40(Build:2) $ libreoffice niqqudless.odt W: Unknown node under /registry/extlang: deprecated W: Unknown node under /registry/grandfathered: comments W: Unknown node under /registry/grandfathered: comments This might not be an urgent or important bug, but printing irrelevant and scary messages is definitely a bug... You're saying that "liblangtag" prints these messages; Is there a way libreoffice can force liblangtag not to print them? Can libreoffice do something different in the input it gives liblangtag? Can libreoffice avoid using liblangtag to avoid these messages? Doing one of these things will be more productive than closing this issue as "not a bug". Many users will likely be worried/suspicious after seeing these messages.
(In reply to Nadav Har'El from comment #2) > This might not be an urgent or important bug, but printing irrelevant and > scary messages is definitely a bug... But we are not the upstream of liblangtag. So it is irrelevant if printing these messages is a bug or not: it is not OUR bug. > You're saying that "liblangtag" prints > these messages; Is there a way libreoffice can force liblangtag not to print > them? Maybe. Disable all warnings in liblangtag (and there might be some that have actually some importance), if it is possible. Or patch these concrete ones out, but that only works with the bundled library. > Can libreoffice do something different in the input it gives > liblangtag? This is not input from libreoffice. It comes from parsing liblangtag's own data file. > Can libreoffice avoid using liblangtag to avoid these messages? Doing one of these things will be more productive than closing this issue as > "not a bug". Seriously? To stop using a library because it prints a harmless warning is "productive"? I am speechless. > Many users will likely be worried/suspicious after seeing these messages. IMHO users of this kind should not run libreoffice from command line.
it looks like the upstream liblangtag bug tracker is here: https://bitbucket.org/tagoh/liblangtag/issues oh i've got an account there already... filed this enhancement request: https://bitbucket.org/tagoh/liblangtag/issues/14/need-more-control-over-error-warning
Hello Michael, *, (In reply to Michael Stahl from comment #4) > it looks like the upstream liblangtag bug tracker is here: > > https://bitbucket.org/tagoh/liblangtag/issues > > oh i've got an account there already... > > filed this enhancement request: > > https://bitbucket.org/tagoh/liblangtag/issues/14/need-more-control-over- > error-warning sorry for the relay, too less time at the moment to answer early ... :( Thanks for reporting it upstream :) So this means, it is fixed upstream. I hope, I will see the fix in one of the next liblang versions in Debian ... ;) Thanks again and have a nice evening Thomas.
FYI, liblangtag 0.5.8 handles these 'deprecated' and 'comments' elements and doesn't display the warning anymore. Upgraded internal liblangtag with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=core.git;a=commit;h=4b6e7da25f837349e10929b0258059398be8106d
liblangtag 0.5.8 is still not be a part of Ubuntu LTS 16.04.02 repository. It seems its not yet stable enough... after 2 years... for a LTS...
