OpenSuse 13.1 LibrOffice repo

English Install/Boot/Login

Hello,

I can not access the Libroffice repository in Buildservice, Yast. Apper.
Seems the directories are empty.
Is this temporary or ended support for OpenSuse 13.1 Libroffice ?
How can I contact the maintainer ?
13.1 was evrgreen (3 years) - has this past already ?

cheers wally

OS 13.1 IS currently EVERGREEN AFAIK, and I see LibreOffice 5.0.5 here http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/LibreOffice:/5.0/openSUSE_13.1/x86_64/
Are you looking for something different?

Yes, thank you.
Maybe I did not see this or it was temporary empty.
I removed libreoffice4 and its repo.
Installation of libreoffice 5 seems to be Ok but still has dependency problems.
Something with google-carlito-fonts and some other packages.
I can not copy/paste from yast error messages (why), so I do not paste here.

After 1st trial of install libreoffice 5 I get
“Missing vcl resource. This indicates that files vital to localization are missing. You might have a corrupt installation.”

I would say this above is also a dependency problem of the repo, but I 'm not sure at all.
Anyway, no working office now :frowning:

Not running 13.1 anymore here, so the best I can provide are blind suggestions…

  • I pointed to the 64bit repo; if you are running a 32bit system you should get LibreOffice accordingly from the 32bit repo;
  • LO 5.0.x is the default for Leap, maybe some dependencies were not (yet) backported to 13.1 by the Evergreen team?
  • google-carlito-fonts is available from the Leap 42.1 OSS repo: an example of the above?
  • maybe you are missing a matching version of libreoffice-l10n-en (or whatever locale you are using)?

And, if everything else fails, you can still install the upstream version from libreoffice.org which is distro-agnostic and can even live side-by-side with the OpenSUSE packaged version since it is installed to the /opt/ directory.

Hope this helps.

this is a good idea, thank you.
I do so with Qt SDK and have no problems at all.

Hello,

after reboot I receive:
> libreoffice

**** (process:7041): WARNING : require a newer gtk than 3.12 for theme expectations

How can I find out, the repo will work as expected in near future.
Instead of destroying the consistency of the system, I might wait.

thx wally

Specified repo seems to have disappeared on 5.12.2016, just after I was notified of a large number of updates from LibreOffice.

replace that repo url with this one from gwdg.de
