OpenOffice 3.0 beta3 in testing

AndyRTR · 2007-08-28 20:56:23

to prepare a well working final OpenOffice.org 2.3.0 pkg i want to ask everybody to give the testing pkg a try. the build has been done from OOG680_m2 sources. we are short before the first release candidate.

so far we haven't build localization packages. please test all parts of OpenOffice. especially thing you know that were broken in 2.2.1 and all the new stuff: new calc module, new base report module, new look'n feel and more.

so far it seems already pretty stable and worth hard testing!

After upgrading OO to version 2.3.0 all characters in my menu items in OO changed to symbols (stars, bullets, squares...). No chance to change the "user interface font" in the options-menu. I tried it "blind" - but without any results. It's impossible to navigate, nothing is readable. Any suggestions?
Thankx in advance (and for all your efforts in compiling and keeping archlinux up-to-date).

Perhaps try to delete your User specific configuration, then start it again.

don't use old localization packages. try to mv ~/.openoffice2 ~/.openoffice2_bak and restart.

Toemmel · 2007-08-29 12:22:34

Thankx for your hints. I removed ~/.openoffice.org2, I removed ALL openoffice packages (openoffice-de openoffice-spell-de, openoffice-base), I even deleted the openoffice folder in /opt. Then reinstalled only openoffice-base 2.3.0 and... the same result as shown in the picture http://www.reformert.dk/tysk/archlinux/OO.png. More ideas???

thankx a lot
Thomas

Toemmel, you could try switching off gtk-qt-engine to see if that causes the problem

I nearly never use office suite, but I gave a quick try to the spreadsheet, with the most basic thing :
A1 = 1 , A2 = 2, A3 = A1+A2

The result was 1 ... It was always the value of the first cell.
I tried using LANG=C , and it worked properly. My locale is fr_FR.utf8

AndyRTR · 2007-08-29 12:53:20

we build OOo --with-system-fonts without any internal one. that means you have to set a proper font for X. please check your Xorg.log for finding proper paths to fonts. please check pacman -Qs font.

I haven't tried OO calc 2.3 yet but I noticed the same issue two days ago with the previous (2.2...) OO version and locale de_CH!

iphitus · 2007-08-29 13:29:39

works the same for me. Passes a quick test of my most frequently used fuctions flawlessly/better.

Thanks a lot for your help. After investigating my font-settings I noticed that I have set the DINGBATS-font (shame on me) in the kde-font-setting-dialog. After changing that to Bitstream Sans Serif all works fine...

hm. i have never used calc. but with A3 -> "=SUM(A1:B1)" it works well. don't know what you mean.

The above "test", A1 = 1, A2 = 2, A3 = A1+A2 should also work if the locale isn't en_US, that's the problem. exporting LANG=C works as a workaround but this should be fixed while OO 2.3 is in testing...

sum didn't work with fr_FR.utf8 locale, but somme does (which is the french translation). And that works properly indeed.

But "=A1+B1" doesn't work. It works fine with LANG=C or LANG=en_US.utf8 though.
Maybe that's not a correct usage of the spreadsheet, I don't know The correct way might be to use sum / somme / ... . It's still a bit strange, in any cases.

This will automatically get resolved in 2.3 final when lang packs corresponding to your default system locale are released.
If there is no localization pack installed that corresponds to the default system locale, Openoffice falls back to en_us instead of C even if en_US* isn't generated in /etc/locale.gen

Testing it with writing homework till yesterday and still no bugs.

ssl6 · 2007-09-01 21:37:10

thank god. i was just trying to install openoffice this morning and could find it. ill enable the testing repo and give it a go

xsdnyd · 2007-09-01 21:57:02

why does this release have gstreamer dependencies?
would be cool if oo was compiled without it... just like oo 2.2

hussam · 2007-09-01 22:11:21

gstreamer0.10-base isn't a big dependency in size and it makes you able to add audio playback/sounds to presentations so many people will find it useful.
Of course it's up to the devs whether to keep it or not.

GStreamer support only adds GStreamer0.10-base, GStreamer0.10 and liboil to the dependencies. Nothing big on your system, it's less than 10MB installed size. Looking at the size of OpenOffice.org itself (and looking at its dependencies...), I don't think anyone should complain about the size of these 3 packages.

OO2.3 works fine (so far), but in the kmenu the entries are called 2.2 and not 2.3 o_O

Systray Quickstarter isn't available anymore, is there a reason for that?

AndyRTR · 2007-09-03 04:58:59

having OOo compiled against system-libs makes it start very fast. the desktop integration with the quickstarter applet differs very much for the various desktops. users would have to deal with making it autostart. and it pulls a lot of the libs into memory. we don't really see a need for the quickstarter applet.

if more people want it back we might think about it again. i think it's not very helpfull.
