To rule out profile related issues try drag and drop in a “new user”.
I don’t see this issue on Version: 4.1.3.2
GNOME 3.6.2
openSUSE Release 12.3 (Dartmouth) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 3.7.10-1.16-desktop
It seems that is an opensuse version problem, I installed the 4.1.3 libreoffice-from-libreoffice-site version and it works well…
and olso openoffice works well…
Manythanks, ciao pier
I can confirm this issue on 13.1 with the included libreoffice:
Version: 4.1.3.2
Build ID: 410m0(Build:2)
It’s kwin that freezes, killing and restarting kwin makes everything work again. (even the drag’n’drop will be carried out correctly… )
What exact version do you have now?
Maybe that bug is already fixed?
Otherwise it should be reported.
If it’s not reproducible with the packages from the Libreoffice website, it should be reported at http://bugzilla.novell.com/
Another thing:
This seems to be caused by the KDE4 integration.
If I uninstall the package “libreoffice-kde4” I cannot reproduce the freeze anymore.
Then you won’t get KDE file selectors and so on of course, but I think the upstream packages don’t have that either anyway.
it have this:
libobasis4.1-kde-integration-4.1.3.2-2.x86_64.rpm I installed it… but it seems different from the suse one, at first sight, …
bug reported https://bugzilla.novell.com/post_bug.cgi
What worked here in oS 12.3 64-bits/KDE 4.11/LO 4.13.2 from LO repo was to remove libreoffice-kde integration package and, to avoid the real ugly 90’s GUI/file dialogs, install libreoffice-gnome integration package.
Thanks to oxygen-gtk the LO looks the same as with the -kde package.
Also, for those getting the freezes, there are reports on some buglists that switching to a text terminal (ALT-CTRL-F1, for instance) and back to graphics (ALT-CTRL-F7) unfreezes KDM, which is what purportedly causes the problem.
Thank you, I’ll give it a try. ATM I have to say that libreoffice-gtk is arguably better, except for the need to double-click on file selection dialogue boxes. Visuals are the same and the Fast Start Icon on the systray works.
I just noticed I’m running LO 4.1.4.2 from the LO community repo, this might not work.
Please test them and report back (it will still take a while until they are built though, so if you get an Error 404 just try again a bit later), I will submit the fix to the LibreOffice:Stable repo as well then.
Note: I only replaced libreoffice-gnome from LO repo with libreoffice-kde4 from wolfi’s, using Yast’s software manager. No other packages where substituted. No more systray fast start icon, as before.
Please note, that you do not have to replace libreoffice-gnome with libreoffice-kde4. You can have both installed (libreoffice chooses the one to use according to the Desktop you have currently running I think).
I’am still fighting with a “save as” problem. When saving documents under a new name, LibreOffice crashes with an about 30% chance.
I tested Wolfi323 version 4.1.3. yesterday (thanks for your efforts!) and the version 4.1.4 from the stable repository. Both versions still have the “save as” problem (Opensuse 13.1, KDE 4.11.3).
I’am not sure, if this problem was tried to address in the newer 4.1.4 version or in the bugfix version of Wolfi323.
