[arch-general] liberoffice 3.4.2 strange behaviour with odt files
by Shridhar Daithankar 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

Hello, I just faced a strange problem with libreoffice 3.4.2. An old odt file, created with libreoffice 3.4.1, around jul 20. Today when I went to open it with libreoffice 3.4.2, I was asked for filter selection, the available options being - Help Content - ODF chart - Openoffice.org 1.0 chart Clearly it is somehow confused and unable to open the file. kword can open the file just fine. Of course the formatting is not the same and I don't want to reformat it. Google didn't have much to offer on this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. -- Regards Shridhar

To: info-gnu-emacs(a)gnu.org GNU Emacs 23.2 and 23.3 were released absent grammar files from which the parsers used in its CEDET component were generated.

Re: [arch-general] Installation of libreoffice

I ran pacman -Syu on two different machines yesterday, one with KDE and one with xfce. Neither asked me for anything to do with the language and it reverted to German until I installed libreoffice-en-US. The default US English had worked fine prior. I also had to do "pacman -S libreoffice-{base,calc,impress,writer,math,draw} to get everything running again as per the wiki on libreoffice. -Vince

[arch-general] [signoff] pcmciautils-018-1
by Tom Gundersen 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Hi guys, I pushed an update to pcmciautils mainly to remove our custom udev rules file, which is no longer correct (after my recent changes to udev), and replace it with the upstream one. Since I was at it I also updated to the latest upstream release. I don't have the hardware to test this, and neither does tpowa, so I encourage signoffs also from general in the hopes that someone still cares about pcmcia. Please signoff both arches. Cheers, Tom

[arch-general] Plasma-desktop in KDE 4.7 can not start up
by Leon Feng 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Hi, After upgrade to KDE 4.7, plasma-desktop can not start anymore. Login in from kdm will stop at the splash screen. Switch to console by ctrl + alt + F1 and then run "top" plasma-desktop is using 100% CPU. Run "pkill plasma-desktop" , Login continue. But screen is black. I check .xsession-error file and found nothing special. Does anyone encounter the same problem? How to find more info to track down this problem? Thanks.

And 'libreoffice-langpack' needs to be removed from depends of libreoffice-common. It doesn't make much sense to have it in depends and in optdepends anyway. I think it's better to keep it in optdepends, maybe with a post install note that no language package has been installed. Because of this someone got his language pack been uninstalled and replaced by a different one by pacman -Syu. See the bug report I have mentioned earlier. Heiko

[arch-general] tunneling help needed (ssh?)
by Philipp 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

Hi there, I know this isn't very arch specific but I lack ideas on where else to ask. Problem: A server situated in a network that can't be reached from the outside, all ports are blocked. I want to give specific outside users simple ftp access to a directory on this server (password protected). I'm in control of the server inside the network. I'm in control of another server inside this network that can be reached (at least port 80) but I'd like to avoid using this server. I may have some control over outside servers. So, what can I do?
