Just to save anyone else some time, my attempt to use the binary from the LibreOffice Web site via rpm2tgz failed with...
Code:
bash-5.0$ /opt/libreoffice6.2/program/soffice Like Kgha above I have OpenOffice installed from the rpms in the same way as my usual Office system. Compatibility with work and I know where the UI bugs are. I like to keep an eye on LibreOffice however as I admire their refactoring of a 20+ year old code base. |
Can't make it work
Is anyone getting the download from their site to work?
I'm getting an error - Quote:
Oops. Just noticed the post above. Looks like this is a problem with their install. I tried 6.15 and it's working fine. I'll stay there for now until this gets sorted out. |

I guess it's compiled against some wayland stuff. |
See this commit

Code:
export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk B.R. |
it's now included in /etc/profile.d/libreoffice.sh
|
Why not just Google Docs? Nothing to download.

Thanks very much to willysr for the variable to set and for showing us how to set the variable in /etc/profile.d |

I've been using OpenOffice (and Libre) since the v1 days so I have basically got used to it and its quirks, and I particularly like the maths formula editor, which uses an eqn like code. I don't process data of any size and I don't need advanced layout functions. I also don't need to exchange files with MS Office people that often. So my 'use case' is nice and simple. I did try Calligra's Words, but not compatible for graphics objects with oOo/LO so not usable for me. |

I put it in ~/.bash_profile, so it's set when I log in. |

For documents I'd rather keep private, and for documents I'd like to edit without a network connection (I frequently do personal work on my laptop from a diner), having applications actually on my system are a must. jove is my every-day editor, xfig and inkscape for drawing diagrams, sel and perl for processing structured data, and LibreOffice for the fancier stuff (even though I'm usually just using it to convert spreadsheets to .csv, or word files to .pdf). These all work fine on Slackware. |
