[Solved] LibreOffice GTK2

quellen · 2016-10-18 07:56:11

hi,
can i set gtk2 on LibreOffice (gtk3 is slow in my PC)?
maybe i need to compile it without "--enable-gtk3" in "autogen.sh"?

How much time is required to compile it with a CPU Dual Core 1.86GHz?

% ls /etc/profile.d/libreoffice*       
/etc/profile.d/libreoffice-still.csh  /etc/profile.d/libreoffice-still.sh

if that fails, in pacman.conf(5):

NoUpgrade = usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_gtk3lo.so
NoExtract = usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_gtk3lo.so

thanks.
i have tried to edit libreoffice-still.csh and libreoffice-still.sh and pacman.conf but libreoffice still uses gtk3.

$ cat /etc/profile.d/libreoffice-still.sh
# to force a certain look'n feel

#export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen
#export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kde4
export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk
#export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 # currently broken and not available

$ cat /etc/profile.d/libreoffice-still.csh 
# to force a certain look'n feel

#setenv SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN gen
#setenv SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN kde4
setenv SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN gtk
#setenv SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN gtk3 # currently broken and not available

$ cat /etc/pacman.conf |grep -i libr
NoUpgrade   = /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_gtk3lo.so
NoExtract   = /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_gtk3lo.so

It doesn't matter which VCL plugin you use, libreoffice now has a hard dependency on gtk. You *must* have gtk2/3 installed, and you can then altneratively have other toolkits installed to use other VCL plugins. I don't know that this can be changed by compile time options as these are the requirements listed upstream.

EDIT: ah, you have gtk2, so yes it should work without gtk3. Do you also have gtk3 installed? If you have gtk3 installed and don't want to use it, just uninstall gtk3.

pacman.conf but libreoffice still uses gtk3.

I forgot to add that besides blacklisting those files, you also have to either reinstall the packages to reflect the change in the file system, or remove the files manually.

SOLVED:
i have removed /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_gtk3lo.so manually and now libreoffice starts with gtk2. thanks.

Trilby: i cant remove gtk3:

# pacman -Rs gtk3

Odd - you say gtk3 slows down your system, but you use mainly gtk3 programs.

Have you started LibreOffice immediately after that? The changes will not take effect until the next login (if not sourced manually).

can i disable gtk3 on file-roller too?

You had a problem with libreoffice using gtk3, that problem has been solved. Fileroller using gtk3 is a different problem.

Again, if you want to stop using gtk3, stop using gtk3 programs - it's that simple. File-roller, and all those others, are gtk3 programs. Use the gtk2/gnome2 alternatives.
