Regarding that HOWTO Internationalization page, it is a bit old. MoManager will recognise and use poedit if it is installed (you should find it in the PPM).

You can also search this blog for other news about MoManager.

Thank you L18L and shinobar. I've included your latest work, and also updated /usr/bin/gtkdialog-splash to include a shinobar update that I missed before.

I would like to thank 01micko as well! :D

Hi.

It says LH64. Even so it made a brilliant LO-GB.sfs using Slacko 5.3.1 Main.

It's a star pet developed by stars. My desktop m/c is old but with 2.0 GHz and 640 MB RAM, though, with slow broadband, the total time was about 20 minutes to automatically produce (apart from a few really helpful options) what seems to be a perfect LibreOffice sfs outcome.

My regards and thanks

As is my habit, I extracted the pet and then used dir2sfs so that I only use it from a usb stick with my Muti-session-live-CD-all-in-RAM Slacko when I need It.

I have now added support for USB installs. This is done by building in /tmp which of course is always a linux filesystem. This avoids any problems with building in a vfat environment and broken symlinks. It also avoids slow media prone to errors which is why I haven't supported USB installs. You need at least 1GB RAM and 1GB swap or 2GB RAM (no swap needed).

If you don't have much RAM and have a HDD frugal or full install the build will still work in /mnt/home or / so there should be no problem.

Be aware that if your RAM is near full (ie: lots of apps open or sfs loaded) you may experience RAM crash and lose open work or corrupt open documents. You have been warned.

I have not added any of the forked stuff by shinobar or L18L, as usual, you guys feel free to fork this development. 8)

I have tested in a full, frugal (PUMODE=12), frugal-USB (PUPMODE=13) and it works on all 3. It also stops as expected on a LOW RAM usb install (512MB, 1GB swap).

LibreOffice, get_libreoffice and Slacko on bootable usb

Posted: Tue 04 Dec 2012, 02:31
by tlchost
get_libreoffice-0.18-3 creates a script,pinstall.sh, that changes the run action associated with the write, calc, paint and draw desktop icons to use LiobreOffice instead of the deafult values. The script works with slacko5337, but not with 5.4

This occurs with a USB installed Slacko 5.4

The following menu options do not work with either 5.4 or 5.337 installed as a bootable USB

document > compose > new document
business > sheets > new database
business > sheets > new spread sheet

tlchost,

Try the 0.19 version in the main post, the forks haven't caught up yet. Works fine for me in a fairly pristine 5.4 (tested on a USB install, 1GB RAM, 1 GB swap).

Trying testing right now. It's grabbing 4.0.0.0-beta1 [ :shock: ]. Should have a result shortly.

LATER: DC, it mostly works as long as I add missing deps, gnomevfs [ :roll: ], ORBit [ :roll: :evil: ] and libbonobo [ :roll: :evil: :( ]. i don't care about menu icons in the beta versions or the %U bug. If it works in the stable version then I'm happy. Beta is for testing, do we need the frills? Stable is of course recommended in the GUI. Beta works good enough.

Hi 01micko et al,

If you load LO using load-on-the-fly (or say, seaside's SFS-Exec) and
then unload - do you still have a 20 MBish LO folder in /root/.config?

My regards

Thanks.....all the menu items now work correctly.
I got this error:
cp: cannot stat ‘/usr/local/bin/defaultpresentation’: No such file or directory

Also, the script did not ask what drive(device) I wanted to use....I run bootable USB. It wrote the sfs file to /tmp ... took me while to find it. Perhaps add back in the ability to specify where you want the sfs file created?

The "defaultpresentation" error is meaningless. Really I should suppress it, but it does no harm. Noted for next version.

If shinobar or L18L want to fork version 0,19 I'm sure they can add a choice where to save. Since this is designed to load the sfs with sfs_load (shino) you are given the choice to copy to /mnt/home anyway. Also, if you notice the splash messages they tell you where the sfs is being built so you can easily find it that way. The idea is that you can build the sfs even if you don't have a hard drive as long as you have the RAM.

Jasper,

The size of the hidden libreoffice directory will vary with how much you use it and what you do. Mine is only 2 M. Feel free to delete it or link it, whatever you choose.

Hi 01micko,

Thank you for your helpful response.

Whilst I could test to see what happens if I link/save my
LO config folder, I ask (for the benefit of all) might I
expect my LO sfs to load faster than usual when I reboot?

My regards

PS I use a multisession CD with sfs files on a USB stick,
which is where I save new sfs files and data as I work - so
I very rarely add anything or make any changes to the CD.

ADDENDUM:

Hi - I tried it - there is a huge impovement in load speed.

GUI to download LibreOffice

Versions 0.19 of get-libreoffice fails to obtain a working sfs for wary 5.3. In precise 5.4.3 it works. The sfs obtained with version 0.19 in wary 5.3 can't be mounted. With version 0.13 of get-libreoffice previously used by mine to obtain a earlier sfs of Libreoffice3.5.0 I was instead able to obtain a sfs of libreoffice3.6.4 working in wary and precise.

Did you build in Precise then try to mount in Wary? If the kernel supports xz compression then that will be used. Wary's kernel does not support xz compression. I tested in an old version of Slacko that does not support xz compression and it worked fine.
