Mick it's not working in Fatdog either trying to download LibreOffice-4.0.0.0. It works ok in Slacko but actually gets 4.0.0.3

It DL'ed 3.6.5 ok though.

It complained about not being able to get package info.

Cheers

Totally the maintainer's fault

Some hard coding to x86 arch is the culprit, will be fixed tomorrow in *0.24. I just produced a sane sfs in Slackbones with a slight tweak..

Thanks.

Thanks, simargi

Thanks mate.

Here is something I wondered about -
Does this mean the program should be downloaded before the help file?

No, well it hasn't made a difference so far.

The debs are all unpacked to the same directory then an sfs constructed, so in effect they are all installed at the same time. If it's a concern of yours Henry, just make sure the help pack box is unchecked. Since you are in the US the lang pack doesn't apply. This way, only the main program gets downloaded. This is what I do if I release an sfs for general consumption.

It ran and loaded LibreOffice 4.0.0.3 successfully on an old Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 running Exprimo 5x15

It seems a little slow on the old laptop but I have Writer open there right now.

Thanks!

Here's what I did:

Installed LO 4.0 w/o help using .024 Failed

Instaled LO 4.0 w/help using .024 from get_libreoffice in terminal Failed Here is the last of the terminal output:

Long ago in a tidying session I may have removed non English locales. Often in the terminal I see something like this, which has never caused a problem, certainly not with the LO3.x.x installations.

Just reporting FWIW. Sorry if I have somehow caused my own problem. Thanks - you have enough on your plate already!

[01micko]

Henry,

I only see half the story there...

Is the log in /tmp?

try this in a terminal

Code: Select all

cp /tmp/LO_log* ~

..will copy the log to root.

Oops, sorry, I have already restored the backup system. (I did suspect something had gone wrong, as there were some odd readings in Pup-SysInfo.)

BTW I should note something a little different about this system: The HDD is sda1 and is the same as /mnt/home. I.e. the free space on sda1 is 0.0M

I suspect you may be running in PUPMODE=7, for which I think there is a bug in the script. Are you saving to entire partition?

Code: Select all

grep "PUPMODE" /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE

Thanks

On some thinking I'll post version 0.25.. ok it's up, see main post

BE WARNED I removed gtkdialog-splash ..

Mick 24 worked fine for me.

Thanks Henry,

Well your save may be taking all the space on the drive but it's not the pupmode 6 (7 was wrong) I thought it was.

Looks like your RAM is full, so I need to improve the RAM test, but if your partition is full there may be another problem. Anyway, I can see why the older versions of get_libre work for you, they don't build in RAM.

Q. Do you have swap?

I'll post a fix soon.

Cheers

[tlchost]

version 25 and many earlier ones report a low memory condition on my desktop system which has 16 gigs of memory.

Recognizing an impossible statement when I see one, I tested version 25 on my laptop which has a paltry 4 gigs of memory. It works!

So, my non-technical, I am a simple end user observation is that the memory reporting/detection/error trapping is not functioning correctly.

Just looked at the computer again, and it's all stuffed up, can't do much of anything. So I restored the backup system.

To clarify: My pupsave does not take up all the space on the drive, at least normally. It is set for 630M of which 376M is nearly always available. (I put nearly all the variable data, cache, etc. into /mnt/home.) No swap file.

It looks like the downloaded LO debs ended up in /tmp (ram) instead of /mnt/home as a usual sfs. (They are now copied to another HD and I guess could be undebed.)

However, I'm just a user and it's unimportant whether I use 3.6 or 4.0. But it is interesting - thanks for all the creative and generous things you do.
