[SOLVED] OpenOffice with DOCX support

I have to use sometimes Microsoft Word documents in Microsoft Office 2007 format (.docx) (my boss is fan of this format ), but standart version of OpenOffice doesn't support this format and I should ask my partners to convert it to old Word format. But it's uncomfortable. I heard that Sun developed special version of OpenOffice with support Microsoft Office 2007 formats but I didn't find it neither in Arch repos nor in AUR. Where can I find this special version of OpenOffice?

Using ABS to compile OpenOffice with KDE3 support?

Hallo,
So I'm trying to use ABS to compile OpenOffice with KDE3 support so I can use the KDE file picker (the KDE4 support is really, really broken and too new to be used right now). I pulled Openoffice-base out of my ABS tree and modified the PKBUILD so that kde was enabled and I made kdelibs3 part of the dependencies.
However, it always says "checking whether KDE is between 3.2 and 3.6... configure: error: KDE version too old or too recent, please use another version of KDE or disable KDE address book support" before failing to compile. I know it's because I'm using KDE4. Is there a way I can trick it into thinking I'm using KDE3?
It says the path to kdelibs is /usr/lib, perhaps if I changed it to the path to kdelibs3? Where would I do that in the PKBUILD?
Thanks a lot!

bstaletic wrote:The weird part, at least to me, is that I saw a lot more then 19 modules during compilation. Is this expected for some reason or have I messed something up?
Your build method seems ok to me. Can't really say anything about the .config, but kernel modules can have dependencies too. For example, if you choose to build ext4 as a module, it selects at least jdb2 and crc16 modules to be built as well.

Openoffice with VB support for Arch?

I found this article very interesting:
http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/11/08/1726205
It tells us there are serveral distros that have a version of OpenOffice available that supports vb.
Is it possible to get such a version for Arch?
That would make using Arch/Openoffice at the office an even better experience.
With kind regards
Archdevil :twisted:

Check out this post here. Let me know if you have anymore questions on this.
We know this is a current deficiency and we are hoping to make programming DAQmx in VB 6.0 much easier in the future versions of DAQmx.

Problem starting OpenOffice with KDE [Solved]

I just did a clean Arch install witk KDE desktop. After I installed OpenOffice with
pacman -Sy openoffice-base
when I try to start openoffice I get the following error message
"The application cannot be started. An internal error occurred."
I tried to reinstall OpenOffice but that didn't help.
Any ideas whats going wrong? OpenOffice worked fine with Gnome before I did a clean install.
-A-

this problem is caused as some files on the install or somewhere else got assigned root permissions so that is the problem. i deleted the folder and everything recreated ok.
I have the same problem, but deleting ~/.openoffice.org2 haven't solved the problem, so I looked up this forum for other solutions and nothing helped.
From other topic: That's not a java problem, I think.
Any ideas?

Building mesa with OpenCl support [Solved]

Hi,
I am trying to use OpenCl with the current mesa drivers as it is explained in this post from freedesktop: GalliumCompute, but when I try to install my own build of mesa with OpenCl it fails due to some conflicting files.
If we follow the post, we can see that we need:
- LLVM with '--enable-experimental-targets=R600', but the stable repo already provides this so we are fine.
- Libclc can be found in AUR: libclc-svn
- Mesa with '--enable-opencl'. This has to be built manually with ABS adding the flag to the PKGBUILD.
But when I try to install the generated packages I get an error because there are conflicting files:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
mesa: /usr/include/CL/cl.h exists in filesystem
mesa: /usr/include/CL/cl.hpp exists in filesystem
mesa: /usr/include/CL/cl_ext.h exists in filesystem
mesa: /usr/include/CL/cl_gl.h exists in filesystem
mesa: /usr/include/CL/cl_gl_ext.h exists in filesystem
mesa: /usr/include/CL/cl_platform.h exists in filesystem
mesa: /usr/include/CL/opencl.h exists in filesystem
mesa: /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so exists in filesystem
mesa: /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so.1 exists in filesystem
mesa: /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so.1.0.0 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Checking with 'pacman -Qo' I have found that the headers come from 'opencl-headers' and the shared objects from 'libcl'.
So, is there a way to install mesa with OpenCl support?
Thanks in advance.
Last edited by Noxbru (2013-09-30 16:13:18)

Lordheavy's git packages are setup to make switching between mesa-git and mesa easy, so include provides/conflicts/replaces lines in the PKGBUILDs to ease substiution.
No need to uninstall mesa.
Mesa is a split package, and you should replace all parts of it.
If you run pacman -S mesa-git , there should be errors because all parts need to have been build against the same source,
but i don't know if pacman handles that correctly.
To be on the safe side, you should tell pacman to install ati-dri-git instead as that will pull the other necessary mesa-git subpackages.
about the files from opencl-headers & libcl :
mesa-git incudes opencl-mesa-git which does provide those files, but libclc-git doesn't have opencl-mesa-git as dependency.
I think the full command you should use is : pacman -S ati-dri-git opencl-mesa-git libclc-git .
That should pull in all needed pacakges and not give any conflicts.
Edit :
The PKGBUILD for LH's mesa-git are in http://pkgbuild.com/~lcarlier/mesa-git/sources/ .
I looked directly into the sources to verify what i posted above.

[SOLVED] haskell - citeproc-hs was not compiled with bibutils support

Hi all,
since I have not yet been able to get help in arch-haskell's IRC channel, I am posting here, maybe someone has an idea:
I am using pandoc which I have retrieved along with all its dependencies from the haskell binary repository. But when I try to process a bibliography, I get an error message from citeproc-hs:
pandoc: citeproc: Bibliography format not supported.
citeproc-hs was not compiled with bibutils support.
Supposing that the error message is not misleading, I wonder how do I recompile with bibutils support then?
Googling gave some results concerned with haskell-hs-bibutils, which seems to have been on the haskell repo earlier but is there no longer, so I installed it from AUR (modifying the PKGBUILD to accept haskell-syb>=0.3 instead of =0.3).
Reinstalling haskell-citeproc-hs did not help.
Next I tried with cloning habs the haskell repo (as is described here). Since I could not find any switch in haskell-citeproc-hs's PKGBUILD that would disable bibutils support I directly issued
./makeahpkg -- haskell-citeproc-hs
but the resulting package gives the same error as the one from the repo.
Should I have taken extra steps to build/install haskell-hs-bibutils also in the habs chroot? Or anything else?
TIA,
Andreas

Yes, it seems this was the problem. Besides cloning habs, I now went on to manually copy the necessary files of bibutils-dynamic and haskell-hs-bibutils from AUR into the local HABS tree, modify dependencies in haskell-hs-bibutils, haskell-citeproc-hs and haskell-pandoc (an additional dependency on haskell-hs-bibutils in haskell-citeproc-hs, in the other cases only change of version numbers).
Then
./makeahpkg -c -- bibutils-dynamic haskell-hs-bibutils haskell-citeproc-hs haskell-pandoc
produced four packages which I could install and now the error is gone and I can turn to debugging my document and bibliography files

[solved] Error compiling wpa_supplicant with broadcom_wl support

Hello friends.
I'm using the broadcom_wl driver for my bcm4312 card in my Dell XPS m1530 laptop. Unsecured wifi is tested and works fine.
I need to use wpa_supplicant to connect to my university's wifi. The core package for wpa_supplicant is not compiled with broadcom support. I tried using the generic wext option, but I get
Trying to associate with 00:11:92:90:de:e1 (SSID='restricted.utexas.edu' freq=2462 MHz)
ioctl[SIOCSIWAP]: Device or resource busy
Association request to the driver failed
It looks like the generic wext option doesn't work for the bcm4312.
So I tried to compile wpa_supplicant with broadcom support using ABS with this package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18511 from AUR. I enabled broadcom support in the config file and pointed it toward my local copy of wlioctl.h.
Unfortunately, build() dies with

I don't know c. Can someone decipher this error for me?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: There are multiple versions of wlioctl.h floating around. I eventually got this to work with the version included with the wrt54g tarball. BUT, wpa_supplicant still had driver problems when being run with the -D broadcom option.
I eventually got this working with ndiswrapper and instructions found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiD … y_No-Fluff
Pay special attention to the instruction:
"This Chipset/PCI ID is the correct/reliable way to identify the device: Any other labels can be misleading (e.g., notice that both the '14e4:4311 (rev 02)' and '14e4:4319 (rev 02)' call themselves a "BCM4311 (Rev 02)", even though they are different devices)."
Download the driver that matches the output of
lspci -n | grep '14e4:43'
Anyway, wpa_supplicant still gave me driver troubles when using the -D ndiswrapper option. However, it works well with -D wext.
Tldr;
-Your bcm4312 may actually be a BCM4310 (rev 01).
-Use ndiswrapper with this driver: http://myspamb8.googlepages.com/R174291-pruned.zip
-use wpa_supplicant with the -D wext option.

Problem with apple support , help me plz !! don't remove my thread plzz

hello all first of all please accept my apologies for my bad english language .I'm an American who lived outside of America since childhood. i hope you understand me . i am one of the apple fans that many times i contact with apple support team for solving my itunes problems, some of supports were great But on other side there are many employee in the apple company that they just give us some PREPARED answers without thinking about what i ask them !
i want to report my problem here to get rid of those useless persons and ofcourse those weak answers in the apple company. before of explaining my problem , let me tell you a short thread:
some months ago i bought one microsoft XBOX live CODE to charge my LIVE account , i bought that from a retail store at France. Code was redeemed before i buy that , that was obvious that seller had decide to scam me with a used voucher ! and he did not accept my words and he just needed proof. so i go to microsoft.com on support section then i start talking with online chat support
please help me to solve my problem , please tell me that how i can report some one on apple?
<Edited By Host>

hi bleach i explain whole the story in the post 1 but the forum moderator removed that and this time he EDIT my thread.
i bought 3 iTunes code and i want to know the date and time of redeeming, this issue happened to me manytimes in the past and each time apple support answered me with the time of redeeming of the code.
but some times some persons in apple support they don't help me and they don't give me date and time of redeeming ! and they just give me some prepaid and Irrelevant answers.
all i want to say is that many persons in apple are useless really, and we have report their weak support.
yes you are right we are all users but what we have to do when a bad person support us on the apple ?
yourself just send me a link for this matter :www.apple.com/support/contact
what i have to do on that link ?
where i have put my complaint ??
hey peoples , many support persons in apple have no any Creativity to solve our porblems . what we have to do againts of them ??
many times apple support employees tell us "I do understand how important it must be for you to know the details, but I do apologize as I won't be able to provide any more details regarding your concern."
is it giving the date and time of redeeming so hard? Why he/she can't give me more details regarding my concern BUT others can do ??

Installing Illustrator CC with RTL support

Hello
I have two issues mixed up. I need to install Illustrator with RTL support (aka ME version)
I cannot install Illustrator via Application Manager - it fails with the message "The download appears corrupted. Please try again after a few minutes.(-60)"
I found Adobe's recommendation to download and install a trial version if this happens and register it. After some searching I could find a direct link to Illustrator installer, but not to the ME version. And that non-ME version does not seem to have the RTL support.
I'd appreciate any ideas - either how to solve the Application Manager issue, or where to download the ME version trial installer from, or how to get the non-ME version to support RTL...
Thanks in advance
Boris
P.S. An additional problem is that now (i.e. after installing the trial) the Application Manager is not "aware" of the fact I have the Illustrator installed...

I am not happy with apple support

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011)
Serial number C0*******H2H
I bought apple MacBook pro 2011, One night I put my MacBook on standby mode when I wake up in morning it's power is off, not starting at all I tried all the things but still it is not working.
But I thought apple can help me to solve this issue as I spent lot of money for this product and also buy 3 years protection plan in advance to make sure if I got any issue then it will be taken care of by apple.
When I go to service station they told me your unit is tempered and we are not sure you cover in apple warranty or not, I am totally surprised, yes I try to change my Hard disk and RAM as I want to use SSD and more RAM, but I did the same thing with my other laptops as well but nobody told me your unit is tempered.
I try to explain this to service station but they speak in very rude way and told me unit cannot be covered in warranty.
After a long discussion they are agree to talk with apple but within two days they reply same thing, I feel like cheated as when I bought mac book they told me just buy this protection plan and forget everything.
Me and my company using a lot of apple products and we believe in Apple support that’s why we spent a lot of money on apple products but now I have to think again and reconsider my decision as other companies giving us a very good offer.
I am also thinking to return back my all apple products and recommend to my company not to buy anything from apple in future, because now apple is not an extra ordinary company.
I am very sorry to say that now it is not important for me, you repair or replace my unit, because I do not know I can believe on apple product or not.
Regards,
Nitin Sharma
(Business Manager IT)
<Personal Information Edited By Host>

Yes I also think replacing RAM and hard disk not void the warranty, but I got this reply from service station they do not want to share anything they talk with apple support, we told him At least give us proper reason but they repeated same thing again and again, if you cannot give solution then you must tell reason to customer.
And one most important thing why I should by Apple protection plan as it is not covering this very simple problem, I think it is totally wastage of money, Other companies service center and support is more reliable then apple. When I ask them OK it is not cover in Warranty could you tell me how much repair cost, they told me it is about 1000 $, by the same you can bought a new Macbook, that means only one part cost is equal to new mac then all other things in Macbook is free ?
And you told me you know only one side story, Yes it’s true but I think Apple is not audit their service stations, they never check Is service station people helping the customer or irritating the customer.
