StarOffice 8 / Linux

We work with StarOffice on Linux boxes since version 5. We upgraded from 5 to 6 to 7 and now to 8. Version 8 with and without patch creates us a lot of troubles : freezes with some worksheets, closes on printing (every time we sent a crash report)... As we used the suite for everyday work - we are consultants - we had to go back to version 7. We probably will make another try someday when, I hope, the software will be improved.
OS : Linux Mandriva (Mandrake) 10.1

I had the same problem. I tried to install SO8 in different distributions of Linux, but fail.
Did anyone who iinstalled So8 in Linux successfully share his experiences to all?
To install S08 in Windows is quite easy, but it is very very very difficult in Linux. Is it the philosophy of SUN that they intend to promote MS rather than open-souurce sofrwares?

[1] Try starting using sudo to start the instructions string.
[2] The error message indicates that the install is trying to create the temporary files on the CD - try copying the install files to the hard drive and install from there.

StarOffice 8 upd. 8 PDF-export problem

Hello!
After updating my StarOffice 8 installation to Product Update 8 I am no more able to export my documents to PDF. The German error Message is:
Fehler beim Speichern des Dokumentes documentation:
Schreibproblem.
Die Datei konnte nicht geschrieben werden.
in English (after switching locale):
Error saving the document documentation:
Write Error.
The file could not be written.
Before updating I think it worked. Next step I will try is to do a clean reinstall of StarOffice as well as test under Linux.
Windows Vista 64-Bit
StarOffice 8 (Product Update 8)
Java 1.6.03 (x86 as well as x64)
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards, xasx.

Okay - a clean reinstall solved the problem for now.

Latest SO Patch for Linux (120184-14) fails with postgresql plugin

Hi,
the latest staroffice patch for Linux no longer works with the postgresql extension postgresql-sdbc-0.7.5. It can read tables but will not write back any modifications. The failure message is something about some routine not being implemented. I'm afraid I needed it in a hurry, so I reverted to the previous patch (120184-12).
My system is opensuse 10.3 running on an x86/64-it machine. uname -a gives
Linux hostname 2.6.22.17-0.1-default #1 SMP 2008/02/10 20:01:04 UTC x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Does any body know of another convenient way of hooking SO up to postgresql?
Regards,
Charles

Hi dcminter,
your right, sorry, this isn't a Java question. I followed a link from Suns StarOffice page and assumed this was a purely SO forum. I've just noticed the tabs on the forum window. There is a separate section for 'desktop'. I'll repost there.

Charles

StarOffice 8 Update 1 available but not on patch page

Office-2007-xml-Translator for Staroffice

I found the following on the web.
Has anyone tried it out with StarOffice? Is there something similar for SO8??
The OpenXML Translator provides support for opening and saving Microsoft* OpenXML-formatted word processing documents (.docx), spreadsheet documents (.xslx) and slideshow documents (.pptx) in OpenOffice.org.
The odfconverter-1.1-7.oxt file works only with Windows, and the odf-converter-1.1-7.i586.rpm file works only on SUSE� Linux Enterprise, SUSE Linux, and openSUSE. On both platforms, the OpenXML Translator works only with the latest Novell� edition of OpenOffice.org.

I haven't had any Debian or StarOffice users test OCI yet, but either/both should work. Please try the Ubuntu instructions for the strawberry edition.
If you have problems, follow the testing instructions and also let me know:
- The location of your OOo executable like /usr/bin/soffice (there may be several)
- Which version of libtiff you have
Sorry about the poll: I added StarOffice. Duh! :)

JDS(Linux) is Dead

Just as I previously thought.
June 29, 2005
Sun is stepping away from an effort to sell Linux for desktop computers, the server and software company's top software executive said Tuesday.
JDS will continue to exist as a product, but now chiefly as software based on Sun's Solaris operating system and directed at programmers, John Loiacono, executive vice-president of software, said at a meeting with reporters in San Francisco at JavaOne.
"You're going to see less of an emphasis on JDS on Linux," Loiacono said. "The strategy has changed slightly."
That's a big change from three years ago, when Sun launched the project and Sun chief executive Scott McNealy touted JDS � then code-named Project Mad Hatter � as a combination of a server and Linux PCs that would be more cost-effective than Microsoft Windows. A server and 100 PCs would cost about $300,000 (�165,000) over five years, Sun said at the time. Later, the company revealed that JDS was based on Novell's SuSE Linux.
"We think this is going to garner a lot of industry support," McNealy said of Mad Hatter in September 2002. "We believe we've got all the ducks lined up in the right direction."
But it didn't catch on, and Sun has plenty of fish to fry already, said Yankee Group analyst Dana Gardner. "Sun has got an awful lot on its plate right now," Gardner said. "It can't overspend on its research and development by one penny, because Wall Street will whack them."
It's possible the idea could resurface later, Gardner added. "I think Sun would love to convince a major [telecommunications service] carrier that providing a desktop format as a service is a great idea. JDS will probably be relegated to the back burner on simmer until the conditions are right for the carriers to do that."
Linux is popular on servers, but it's a hard sell for desktop computing, where Microsoft has a stronghold. Sun still has other efforts afoot in the market, however. One is its StarOffice software � a competitor to Microsoft Office and a close relative of the open source OpenOffice.org. Another is its Sun Ray thin clients, which are display screens that rely on a central server to handle processing duties and that are being augmented with Windows abilities through Sun's acquisition of Tarantella.
One casualty of the JDS changes could be a partnership with the China Standard Software Company (CSSC), a consortium of companies supported by the Chinese government, which Sun said in 2003 would adopt Sun's desktop Linux. "We're going to immediately roll out the Java Desktop System to between a half million and a million desktops in 2004. It makes us instantaneously the number one Linux desktop play on the planet," McNealy said at the time.
It's not clear whether that milestone was met. CSSC has other options. In April, Novell announced a deal with CSSC to "cooperate to provide technology, services and marketing to optimise and promote Linux to the Chinese market".

This article and several others were based on speculation from John Loiacono's comments .
Shortly after these were published, John Loiacono published a clarification:
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/johnnyl/20050718
And to let you know that others still see JDS linux as a solution to real world problems:
http://computerworld.com.my/ShowPage.aspx?pagetype=2&articleid=2600&pubid=4&issueid=65
If demand for a JDS desktop product based on a linux kernel continues, I don't see any reason why JDS linux wouldn't. But if you believe some of what this reviewer says about the gaps between opensolaris and GNU/Linux, then, well the customer will decide:

Photshop for Linux? It is time...

Hi
I really hope this is not a stupid question, but are there any future plans to release a version of Photoshop for Linux?
Why I ask is that the only reason a lot of us keep Windows is to run Photoshop.
Running it inside Linux Wine is very unstable and the fonts are almost unreadable.

I understand the time you wasted to write this post, you are correct with all the different libraries that would needed to be created with working with different distros however you do not understand that a company would be working direct with the community of the distros to diffuse this problem. No biggy! You say 98% pirated, Wake up to reality man it's 2011, man back long time ago when they brought out the megaphone, Vinyl's oh the Vinyl's recorder, Tapes, oh the tape recorder, stupid companies all had your theory omg everything will be pirated, all sales will drop. you waste your breathe complaining how much effort it would require to make the port but it's not hard, Like any software it can be ported just like any other software can. Adobe is being purchased anyway so your complaining has gone down the drain Just my 2 cents.
YOU do not understand. Work with the "community of distros to diffuse this problem?"   OK. First thing, the distros ARE the problem. The fact that there are 8 zillion distros each shipping different flavours of linux is the whole fragmentation issue in the first place.   The mere fact that you don't understand that is another problem. Linux users don't realize that they've been shooting themselves in the foot for 16 years, instead they blame the boogeyman Microsoft. Would you want to go into a business with a bunch of cognitively dissonant idealists? Would you bet your company's slim profit margin on them? A bunch of people in that other thread don't even understand the difference between revenues and profits.   Revenue is completely irrelevant, profit is what matters. This is econ 101 stuff. Did you note how Chris said "I don't see that there is even an understanding of the problems here". He means you. The fact that you think having 800 distros is a good thing. They all come with the same software but are different in all the ways that matter to software developers. Things are made much much more difficult than they need to be, for no real advantages at all.
Second thing, working with the community never produces anything positive. You clearly have a very different view of the linux software development community, than the reality of the situtation.   There is a ton of infighting and people with huge egos. Everyone thinks they know the right way to do things, and generally when there's a disagreement the standard response is "well screw you! I'll just fork you or go start my own project!" This furthers the fragmentation issue, and makes companies loathe to get into Linux development.    Look at Miguel de Icaza, that guy founded GNOME (one of the biggest free software projects), he has given more to the community than probably anyone else on earth, and he can't go 2 days without someone picking a fight with him. He is constantly at odds with Richard Stallman and others. This is just one example, the KDE and Gnome guys don't get along. Nobody agrees on what sound or graphics stacks to use. X11 has been rotting for 25 years with minimal development. The Linux Standards Base has been around for 10 years and done exactly zero. You say this is okay because it gives users more choice, but these are stupid choices that nobody wants to make (choose your sound stack? sounds like fun), especially not developers. Adobe can make a choice too, they can choose it's not worth it getting into bed with Linux.
What problems has the community solved thus far? Linux can't even ship a standardized desktop stack, there are bugs that have been around forever, there are core subsystems that have been neglected for years. Stuff that Adobe NEEDS to ship PS for linux, like fonts and colours.   You think Adobe wants to start submitting patches to the kernel and glibc and KDE and stuff? They want to deal with a bunch of touchy developers who have a proven track record of failure and willful ignorance, a history of opposition to commercial software, who can't get along with each other, and have no monetary incentive to listen to Adobe (nor any incentive to include their fixes)?      The open source and Linux community has very very few successes, even stuff like openoffice and firefox were originally commercial software (staroffice and netscape, respectively) that was given to the community by generous companies.
Furthermore, distros have a history of BREAKING other peoples' software. Look at flash. Adobe gives flash to the linux community (when they have no financial incentive to do so, very altruistic), distros break it with patches and library/API mismatches, everyone starts saying blah adobe sucks they hate linux, etc etc.   Look at the debian SSL debacle.   A maintainer with no software developer expertise effectively crippled SSH security for everyone who uses Debian, because his debugger was giving him warnings and he commented out code until it went away. Yeah, I totally want to give these people more software.
Look at ATI. The 'community' begs them for years to release an open source driver so they can hack on it. What happens? ATI releases their driver sources, "The community" produces a lousy driver, ATI gets a bad rep for not working nice with linux and everyone says go use NVIDIA cards and their stable (closed source) drivers. Getting into Linux is lose/lose.
People in that other thread say they are willing to do anything to get photoshop on Linux. This is a boldfaced lie. What if I said the only way to get PS on Linux is to eliminate all distros and build a standardized Linux from a set of core libraries that are guaranteed to retain certain APIs.   The Linux community would whine and complain that they need 'choice' and 'competition'.   Like I said, you can have your choice but you will not have Photoshop, other commercial software, or marketshare worth talking about.   Clearly you will not do whatever it takes. This is REALITY, not magical free software land where the rules of capitalism do not apply.   You cannot selectively ignore evidence that you disagree with and expect people to take you seriously.
It's willful ignorance to pretend that Linux PS would not be extensively pirated. Chris mentionned he speaks regularly to other companies that produce linux software, and he said that they confirm Adobe's marketing studies.   I would bet dollars to donuts the guys who write linux software witness overwhelming piracy rates.   Piracy is a big big problem in general, and the fact that you scoff it off speaks to your ignorance of market realities. If people are stealing your software it cuts into your bottom line and causes legitimate users to have to pay more to cover the costs of development. It's called the free rider problem.   Software development already has razor thin margins as it is. Why do you think there are so many more console games than PC games these days, and PC is almost an afterthought as a port? The money is in console development, and one of the biggest reasons is piracy. If you ask anyone from industry they will agree. If you ask anyone from the linux community they will pull backwards arguments out of their butts. Who do I trust here?   And do I want to sell products to people who think that piracy is OK and no big deal?
You say it's 2011, but you are stuck in 1997, when Linux was last relevant.   You and most other Linux users live in a different reality than the rest of us. You probably don't even have a good reason for using linux anyway but you use it because either: a) you want to be special and unique based on what software you use or b) you hate microsoft for vague reasons.   Wake up, and get over it. Windows is actually a really really good OS.   If you're not using MS because of the price, you think Adobe should sell their 1000$ software suite to people too stingy to drop 150$ for windows? Yeah. Good luck with that.
If you think Android will save Linux, dream on. Google takes what they want from Linux and ignores the rest. Like the ENTIRE DESKTOP STACK. Smart move, because the entire desktop userland for linux is in a terrible state. Android apps will not run on linux, and won't ever. Most people who use android don't care about Linux, if they've even heard of it at all. In fact google submitted their changes for android back to the kernel community (as they are obligated to under the GPL) and nobody did anything with it. It didn't get integrated into the kernel, the patches just rotted until they fell out of the kernel source tree. Oh yeah, and the main dev for GlibC started whining about google not helping the community enough. They followed the GPL, what more do you want? More more more more more!
I have no idea if Adobe is being bought out and I guarantee you Chris can't comment on it (company policy), but a bit of googling shows that the most recent activity for such things is a potential buyout from Microsoft.   So MS is going to port PS to Linux once they buy Adobe?   Even if it's another company, do you think the first thing they will do is embark on an unprofitable venture?   OK, then whoever buys Adobe will go the way of Sun Microsystems.
On top of all this, Adobe is not the most important software to improve Linux adoption. If you guys really want more people to Linux (which, be honest, is your ultimate motivation here), you should go bother Apple to port iTunes. I don't care for that software personally, but it is by far the biggest obstacle to Linux adoption. Get iTunes ported and you might have some crack at becoming a real player in the OS world.

Integrate StarOffice 8 into CDE/GNOME on network install

With StarOffice 7 you could install the software on a server and then
make it available to all clinets by running this on the workstations:
% /usr/dt/bin/dtappintegrate -s /opt/staroffice7
StarOffice 8.0 does not come with this feature and the install now install
a lot of files on the root disk (/etc, /bin, /usr/dt, /usr/jdk) where before they were links to the /opt/staroffice7.
How can I get the software to work on solaris clients without installing the
400MB on all or boxes?
Thanks
Andrew

Ploblem solved and Thanks to all!
After a service call, Sun have have updated there docs.sun.com and I think there is now a README file in the download (I have not checked that).
They are very similar either to my workround. Here are the instruction which Sun now offer!
<README>
Installing StarOffice 8 on a Linux File Server
If you install StarOffice on a Linux file server, you need to perform the following steps to install the StarOffice menu integration package on a client.
Note: You need the RPM package manager to install this package.
- On the client, open a terminal, and become root.
- Type "rpm -ivh staroffice-Linux_distribution_name-menus-8.0.0-xx.noarch.rpm ". You can find the menu integration package for your Linux distribution in the rpm directory of the StarOffice installation directory.
- Modify the staroffice8 symbolic link in the /etc directory so that the link points to the StarOffice installation on the file server. For example, if you mount the file server as /mnt/nfs, type "ln -sf/mnt/nfs/staroffice8 staroffice8".
</README>
The instructions for Solaris could look quite similar:
# pkgadd -d . SUNWstaroffice-desktop-integratn
# pkgadd -d . SUNWstaroffice-shared-mime-info
But DO NOT install SUNWstaroffice-desktop-int-root.
Create a symbolic link named staroffice8 in the /etc directory so that the link points to the StarOffice installation on the file server. For example, if you mount the file server as /mnt/nfs, type:
# cd /etc
# ln -sf /mnt/nfs/staroffice8 staroffice8
The only thing beside the link in /etc contained in the SUNWstaroffice-desktop-int-root package are scripts to modify /etc/mailcap and /etc/mime.type, which enterprise customers might not want to be modified automatically.
The SUNWstaroffice-gnome-integration package installs its files into /opt/staroffice8 and not into /usr. Thus it does not fit into the same category as the other packages.
Have fun
Andrew Watkins

Can StarOffice8 MediaKit Part# STR99-8AC99MM be used for WIN & Linux both?

Hi,
I am to order StarOffice 8 Enterprise Media Kit with Part# "STR99-8AC99MM" (Ordering Licenses Separately).
Please confirm if the same Media Kit can be used to install StarOffice in Windows and Linux.

Hi Aleem,
the Media Kit -like other software- comes for different systems,
so you must specify in your order for win or linux !!

Hidding panel like in linux konqueror

hello guys... just wanna ask if there is a container that could be hidden or dock with a pin or sticky just like in konqueror of linux??? i am planning to use that container so that if i will be maximizing my internal frame, this container will be hidden so that my desktop pane size will be increased.
is there a component like this guys? what is the name of the component? is there a link you know for me to download? thanx a lot guys take care and godbless

I think JSplitePane is not the solution. It is just like JSplitPane, but I can hide it to the left side when i click the button (with arrow pointing to the left). This one is mostly used in StarOffice Suite, Macromedia Flash, etc.
Do u know a ready made component for this???
tnx u and God Bless advance merry christmas hehehe

Quickstart For Linux

Hellow,
I'm Working in a Windows to Linux migration and we use Staroffice as Office Suite.
We were trying to use the quickstart on Linux but it didn't work.
This feaure is very important to improve the user speed feeling.
We also were trying Staroffice8 and the message were unbelievable for me:
-quickstart starts the quickstart service (only available on windows platform)
I need an explanation for that, please.

I have a basic question, is Oracle Management Pack for Linux a stand alone application or like the name indicates a pack to another larger application ?The Linux Management Pack is part of Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control. It requires a full install of Grid Control, which includes Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition, Oracle WebLogic Server and Enterprise Manager Grid Control itself. However, once you have this installed, it is better suited to managing and maintaining large groups of Oracle Linux servers than Spacewalk. Spacewalk has no internal capabilities to manage Oracle Linux boxes and requires continual tweaking in order to keep it working, in the same way you can't actually manage large groups of Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers with it (requires the actual Satellite Server product) without lots of tweaking.
For example, in order for Spacewalk to work, you have to keep using the rep_populate.sh script you're currently using to create local yum mirrors to import into Spacewalk. The Spacewalk server itself won't talk to ULN without code hacking, as far as I could tell. While Spacewalk can be made to work, it's not straightforward and there is no documentation online on how to get it to work with Oracle Linux. It's a lot of trial and error with manipulating the CentOS instructions.
BTW, we include all the licenses you need for the entire stack with your Oracle Linux basic or premier subscription, so you can install the entire stack! Furthermore, you can then start to explore managing the rest of your Oracle products from a central location. Enterprise Manager 11g Grid Control can handle management from the operating system (or virtualization layer if you start looking at Oracle VM) all the way up the stack through the database to application servers and beyond.

Installation problem on fedora linux

Hi
I am trying to install oracle 10g to Fedora Linux.
When I type ./runInstaller :
Exception java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/OraInstall2007-08-21_12-40-12AM/jre/1.4.2/lib/i386/libawt.so:...........................
Exception in thread main java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
Please help me to solve this problem

Ricardinho,
try post full error message (or stack trace) because in this case we can only guess...
Also when you post name of Linux distribution then don't forget post the version.
Anyway according to partial error message I think there is missing libXp.so.6 library on your OS.
So execute "yum install libXp" to install required package. Od locate the package on installtion media and install it via "rpm -ivh" command.
Note: In FC5 and later libXp.so.6 is included in libXp package. In FC4 and older releases you need to install xorg-deprecated-libs package.

Hello!
I also tried to install Oracle 8.1.6.1 (after giving up the 8.0.5 installation due to segmentation faults all over..), it also failed.
After trying to install Oracle 8.1.6.1 on RedHat 7.0 and it still crashed, i sent a mail to some guru that wrote the oracle-how-to document for redhat, here is what he replied.
My guess is that this also applies to the newest slackware version, because i presume that slackware 7.0 also use the newest glibc libraries;
Thanks for the feedback.
Oracle 8.1.6 does not work under Red Hat >Linux 7. Yes, that's the problem

Oracle executables die.
