[Solved] libreoffice-3.4.1-2 and General Error opening/saving file

I've just done a 'pacman -Syu' and had libreoffice upgraded to version 3.4.1-2.
Now whenever I open a file (new or existing document) or save the file, I get a small window with the meaningless error message:
General Error
However, at least the file can be edited normally and seems to be saved okay in reality.
Anyone else finding this problem?
PS: It happens no matter if I load LibreOffice via the soffice or libreoffice commands; also there are no text messages shown if run from a terminal.

Thanks to the package maintainers for addressing this bug so quickly.
Just updated rasqal and all seems well with libreoffice now.

  • I have updated to Keynote 6.1, but I still have 5.3 and I cannot open the file I just created in 6.1.

    I have updated to Keynote 6.1, my App Store says I did it 2/1/14, I just created a new slideshow in 6.1 tonight, saved it all the way through while creating it, and when finished, saved it one more time, and closed the file. I treid to open it again, but I get an error message stating I need a newer version of Keynote to open the presentation. I check the "About Keynote", and apparently I still have 5.3 and I cannot open the file I just created in 6.1. I try changing the file to open with 5.3, but it won't do that either! The App Store won't let me re-download it. How do I get 6.1 back??? I need to reopen the file I just created.

    I am finding that when I launch keynote from the Docking Station and it opens Keynote 5.3, so I command Q and close it. I then go to Finder, go to the Keynote slideshow I created in 6.1 and now cannot open, and CAN open the slideshow from Finder, which it actually open the file in Keynote 6.1.
    I emptied my Trash.
    What the heck is up with this???? And how do I fix it??

  • Adobe reader (11.3.2) PDF's on ipad and getting error that the file is corrupt!!

    i have the latest Adobe reader from the app store (11.3.2) however i am struggling to open PDF's on ipad and getting error that the file is corrupt!!
    any help or suggestions welcome

    Would you describe how you transferred the PDF file to your iPad and iPhone?  Did you send it as an email attachment and open it on your iPad and iPhone?
    The file may have been corrupted by Apple Mail, which is a known problem.  Please see Problem #1 in the FAQ document How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems.
    Would you try some experiments so that we can troubleshoot the problem?  During the experiments, please use cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) and avoid sending the PDF file as an email attachment.
    Rename the corrupted/damaged PDF file on your iPad.  For example, add "_damaged.pdf" to the file name.
    Upload the corrupted/damaged PDF file to the cloud storage of your choice.
    Download the corrupted/damaged PDF file from the cloud storage to your Windows or Mac desktop computer.
    Open it in the desktop version of Adobe Reader XI for Windows or Mac.
    Does Adobe Reader XI on your desktop computer display an error message?
    Upload the (good) PDF file on your iPhone to the cloud storage.
    Download the (good) PDF file from the cloud storage to your iPad.
    Open it in Adobe Reader on your iPad.
    Does Adobe Reader on your iPad display an error message?
    We can investigate further based on what you will find.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.

    Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.  I have downloaded and installed flash player several times on my Win7 Vaio laptop. I have uninstalled and deleted all versions.  I am the administrator and I have also turned off my Security Software, but the same thing keeps happening over and over.  The Java Script is enabled and I have tried both downloading via IE and firefox.  It is rediculous that it keeps disappearing and I keep getting messages that the newest version is needed.  I am downloading directly from adobe and they say it is the latest.  Getting very frustrated.  They ask if we have any problems when we go to the finish line, but there is no place for comments.  I guess they don't really care if it works or not.

    So is it actually installed, or is it not?  If not, download and run the offline installers:
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    If it still does not work correctly, check

    In Firefox also check if the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled.

  • Problem! I just copied my extern hdd to finder and tried to open my files when I get the message: "The Map "Pictures" can not be opened since you don´t have authority to  see it´s contents! What??? No one else has access to my computer....

    I've had this happen a few times before. What I found works is repairing the permissions. To do so click on go and then to utilities. click disk utilities. In disk utilities select the drive and click repair permissions. It may take a little time but try accessing after that.

  • Why has my Preview stopped responding and won't open any files?

    Why has my Preview stopped responding and won't open any files?
    Each time I try to open Preview it just hangs and I have to close the Prog by "Force Quit"

    nerbyad,
    Sorry to hear you are having this issue today.
    Does this happen on all files or a specific file?
    If this is happening on a specific file, it is most likely that file.
    If this is happening on all files, I would check to see if this is happening in other users accounts as well.  If you dont have other users, create one and see if preview works inside that new user account.
    Let me know...

  • FCP HD 4 and "General Error" while exporting

    Hello, first of all: happy Christmas to all.
    I have a problem with final cut pro (OSX 10.3.9 - dual G5 2 GHz PCI-X):
    I worked on a sequence (a video DV imported from the camcorder via firewire); I exported it i the "Quick Time compression" format. And it worked.
    Than I worked again with the sequence.
    Now I'm trying to finally export it (always Quick Time Compression, non compressed 10 bit), but it give me this error:
    "General error".
    Does anyone know what's happened?
    Thank you very much.

    Sorry not to be able to give you a simple answer, just too many possibilities. The topic "general error" comes up at least weekly around here so please search the forum for that term. This will give you several pages of reading but only you can see if there are any connections between what you're experiencing and what others have conquered.
    Some other folks will chime in as traffic picks up after the holidays.

  • General Error opening project won't go away

    This is really bad. I'm supposed to show the current cut of my 15 minute movie tomorrow, but FCE HD 3.5.1 shows a General Error when I try to open my project. Not just my current project, but for all project files in my Autosave Vault and most project files in the Trash, too.
    Here's my setup:
    MacBook Pro, OS X 10.4.9
    FCE HD 3.5.1
    Project File stored locally
    Scratch disk on an external Firewire hard disk
    Nothing about my setup has changed since I started this project
    All of a sudden this afternoon I got the dreaded "General Error."
    Open my project with the media disk unmounted and unplugged: General Error
    Trash the preferences folder and com.apple... file: General Error
    Reinstall FCE HD 3.5.1: General Error
    What else is there to do? Suggestions for how I can recover my project file without recreating it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
    john

    Tom,
    Your suggestions in email to me didn't solve my problem, exactly, but got me thinking along the lines that did solve my problem. Thank-you very much.
    Bottom line: this is probably a bad practice (I'm an iMovie veteran, but a FCE newbie), but I had media spread in three different places. Video was on the external firewire scratch disck, some jpeg's were copied to the same folder (or subfolder) as the project file, and (the killer) some files were left on a server computer on the LAN.
    At some point I had disconnected from the server and FCE freaks out over that. Rather than giving a "missing media" alert like it does for a detached media or scratch disk, it gives an unhelpful "General error."
    Lesson learned: when opening a project file, be sure you are connected to any and all servers on your LAN from which you may have imported media, like pictures.
    Thanks, Tom!

  • When I download something from the Web, the "Downloads" window opens, but the window remains blank. Before it used to at least show the name of the file and I could open the file from the "Downloads" window. Is there a way to get this functionality back?

    I'm running Windows XP which is updated to latest version (which I think might be Service Pack 3, but not positive.) Mozilla Firefox is version 5.0. I tend to use Google as my search engine so most of the stuff I download comes through sites found through Google, which is also updated.
    At some time in the past (maybe a few versions ago) when I would download a file from the Web, the "Downloads" window would open and in the window would be displayed the name of the file I was downloading or had just completed downloading. I think I used to be able to then click on that file name and the file (or the installation file if needed to start the new program) would open. I am currently using Firefox 5.0 (the "About Firefox" screen says this is up to date) and when I download a file or document, the "Downloads" window appears on the screen as it always has in the past, but it remains blank, i.e., nothing appears in the downloads box. I don't remember making any configuration changes, etc., that may have caused the window to remain blank, but I could be mistaken. I know how to find the items I've downloaded (My Documents / Downloads) and can usually guess what the name of the downloaded file might be, but it used to be much easier when something (anything) showed up in the downloads window.
    I'd love for someone to tell me about a simple fix for this. I'm willing to be quite embarrassed that I did something I shouldn't have.'''

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
    To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

  • Getting general error when saving site using "create PDF from"

    I'm using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0.0 for Mac, trying to save websites. This started working fine, but I had to shut down in the middle of a site being saved. Now when I try to save a site  using Web Capture/create PDF from I get a "general error, nothing was saved". What do I need to do, remove, replace, reinstall or whatever to get this feature working again?
    Also can anyone tell me how to set the feature that saves web pages with the headers and footers showing date, time, URL, page title, etc. I often use the print feature (save to PDF) and up until a day or so ago it always saved with those headers and footers. Now they're missing, which is what prompted me to try saving entire sites, above. I remember setting these a long time ago and being able to choose what went on the left, right,header and footer, but I cannot find those settings now.
    Thanks,
    Michele

    Well, after downloading Applejack, I am completely confused. I'm not sure I understand what will happen if I do any of these steps: see 3a.. "clean out all cache files including the Launch Services database and any cached User Pictures". What kinds of things will I lose? Can I choose only the Acrobat cache files?  I don't want to have to spend hours or days resetting things as I'm in the middle of a project with a close deadline. I also don't really understand fully what will happen with all the other things they discuss.  The instructions say (I just copied and pasted these):
    3.  Auto mode: You can let the script run through its tasks automatically by typing 'applejack auto'. If you want the machine to automatically restart at the end of its tasks, use 'applejack auto restart'. You can also tell the computer to shut down automatically at the end by using the command line 'applejack auto shutdown'.
    3a. Deep Auto mode: If you want to let AppleJack clean out all cache files, including the Launch Services database and any cached User Pictures, use 'applejack AUTO' instead. Use this if you still have problems booting after running AppleJack already.
    4.  Interactive mode: To run through just one task, or to run the script manually, type 'applejack' and then choose tasks from the menu. Running the script in interactive mode has the benefit of giving you options for working with user level cache and preference files, not just the default system level caches and preferences. To select an option, type the highlighted number or letter associated with the action, and then hit return. Whenever you enter a choice in AppleJack, you will need to hit return for that choice to take effect.
    4.  Corrupted preference files are moved into a directory that will mirror the original preference directory, with (Corrupt) added to the directory name. For example, corrupt preferences files found in ~/Library/Preferences will be moved to ~/Library/Preferences (Corrupt). After running AppleJack, you'll probably want to take a look at them (and most likely throw out those folders). As of version 1.4.2, AppleJack now creates a copy of the directory tree inside the (Corrupt) folder so that if any files were deeply nested inside the original preference folder, they will be placed in an identical directory hierarchy in the new (Corrupt) folder. This way, if for any reason you would want to move a preference file back, you know where it should go.
    6.  AppleJack has a primitive logging mechanism. It writes a journal of most of its activity to /var/log/AppleJack.log. AppleJack will automatically reset the log the next time you run it, if the file should ever reach a size somewhat over 500k.
