Hello dear Slitazers,

I am using Slitaz 5 and am very content with it.
I am using gnumeric a lot. Gnumeric 1.10.x comes with Slitaz 5, this is from 2010 and has some annoying bugs.

The bugs are:
1. Conditional formatting: Add some conditional formatting. Save and close the table and gnumeric. Reopen the table. -> Now mostly, the conditional formatting is gone. sometimes, the conditional formatting vanishes only after two or three times saving and reopening.
2. Window fixation: Add some window fixation. Save and close the table and gnumeric. Reopen the table. -> Now mostly, the window fixation is gone.

I have not found a way to download a newer version of gnumeric with the slitaz package manager. Though a gnumeric 1.12.x of August 2016 exists, according to wikipedia.

Can you make the newer gnumeric available for Slitaz? I hope the bugs are fixed there.

I.
OUT OF CURIOSITY (if a new gnumeric would build), and since no other package depends on gnumeric: I triggered it for gnumeric 1.12.32

If it passes you will see notes here (1) and you could download it with the "download"-button and install it as root via: tazpkg -i gnumeric-1.12.32.tazpkg

Give us feedback then how it works out

II.
"I hope the bugs are fixed there."
The normal way is: to ask the gnumeric developers if they know about these bugs and report/search it in their bugtracker:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org

The cooking didn't work out :-(
Thus, I am reverting my changes (1) and we've to look more in detail what is needed more
(remember there is a 5-year gap between the old and new gnumeric version)

II.
So, to answer your question: "How can I get 1.12?" in the meantime:

you can download the new version yourself and try to compile it:
see the file INSTALL in:
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/gnumeric/1.12/gnumeric-1.12.32.tar.xz

Hi there!

Brand new Gnumeric is here. Please, download and install the packages:
If all was well, you'll find new Gnumeric under your "Office" menu.

Bonjour à tous les membres,
Merci beaucoup pour cette mise à jour de gnumeric en version 1.12.32 !
Maintenant, afin d'avoir une suite bureautique à jour, serait-il possible d'avoir une mise à jour pour abiword ?
Abiword est maintenant dispo en version 3.0.2 alors que le paquet dispo est abiword-2.8.6.tazpkg
D'avance merci beaucoup.

Hello dear Slitazers,

I'm impressed by the speed with wich you provided a gnumeric 1.12.
Thank you very much!!
The bugs I've mentioned with conditional formatting and window fixation are both fixed in this version, as far as I can see. Bravo!

I've detected some other bugs in the 1.12:

1) Format cell -> Background -> User defined color -> crash.
As user defined color in background of a cell is probably a feature used very often, I assume that this bug is related to Slitaz. Maybe gnumeric tries to open a standard color picker dialog which is not there.

2) A (+) and a (-) icon are lacking. At the places where a plus or a minus icon should be shown, something like a "not available" icon is shown.
The places are: a) Besides the zoom edit box. b) in the format dialog where you can format numbers besides the editbox where you can set number of decimals.
Again, this is probably more Slitaz than gnumeric related. Because the zoom edit box with the lacking icon can be seen in the main screen. I cannot imagine this to go unnoticed by the gnumeric people.

3) Edit / Preferences / File / Compression level: You can type in what you want to, after closing and reopening the preferences dialog, there is always selected level 9.
(Which is annoying because it makes saveing and loading of big files quite slow. Probably more a gnumeric than a slitaz problem.)

Still, thank you, gnumeric 1.12 is much better than 1.10.

Hi dev-7,

Frankly, I not tested Gnumeric when I update it. I only run it, press a couple of buttons, then close.

Problem #1 is partially reproducible on my side. Can you help more with it? Please, open terminal, run "gnumeric" in it, go to aforementioned settings, and then copy error messages from the terminal, when Gnumeric crashes. I get only warnings like:
```
(gnumeric:20514): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkColorPlane': NULL pointer

(gnumeric:20514): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkGrid': NULL pointer

(gnumeric:20514): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkOverlay': NULL pointer

(gnumeric:20514): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkColorEditor': NULL pointer

(gnumeric:20514): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkBox': NULL pointer

(gnumeric:20514): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkColorChooserWidget': NULL pointer

(gnumeric:20514): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkBox': NULL pointer

(gnumeric:20514): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget 'GtkDialog': NULL pointer
```
No crashes. But OK / Cancel buttons disappeared on that color selection dialog, and re-appear back when I hover mouse on them.

Problem #2

It's a more general SliTaz problem with the GTK+3 applications. We have no GTK+3 specific icons in our icon theme (yet). As a fast solution you can use Paper icon theme that I like so much, and that is GTK+3 compatible. But, please note the package huge size.

I planned to make new SliTaz icon theme, but most of my plans still be plans :)

Problem #3

Seems, I see the root of this problem in the terminal message, but I see no solution yet:
```
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings will not
be saved or shared with other applications.
```
We need some GNOME related stuff. Some with the GSettings in the name. Then Gnumeric will be available to store its settings.

HI Aleksej,

when starting gnumeric from a terminal, I get a dozen or so of these messages:

** (gnumeric:1498): CRITICAL **: go_conf_add_monitor: assertion 'node || key' failed
** (gnumeric:1498): CRITICAL **: go_conf_get_node: assertion 'parent || key' failed

Problem #1: When I hit the Custom Color button, I get this message:
(gnumeric:1589): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gtk.Settings.ColorChooser' is not installed

Trace/breakpoint trap

Problem #2: I'll check that theme.

Problem #3: When I open the settings dialog, I get a dozen or so messages of these:
** (gnumeric:1632): CRITICAL **: go_conf_add_monitor: assertion 'node || key' failed
** (gnumeric:1632): CRITICAL **: go_conf_get_node: assertion 'parent || key' failed

When I close the settings dialog, I do not get your message, but I get a dozen or so of this one:
** (gnumeric:1632): WARNING **: unknown GOConfMonitor id.

Hi Aleksej,
about Problem #2: Installing the paper-icon-theme 1.1 with the tazpanel seems not to work. At least, after I've tried to install it, my problem #2 is not changed.
I really doubt that the installation worked at all. In the package manager there is written:
Installing: paper-icon-theme
forever, but nothing seems to happen. And no "successfully installed" or so message appears.
THe paper-icon-theme 1.3.4 to which you linked is not available with the slitaz package manager.

Hi dev-7.

GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not
be saved or shared with other applications.

Install dconf package. ( http://127.0.0.1:82/pkgs.cgi?search=dconf )

Hi there,

I added suggested package 'dconf' to the receipt: http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/rev/70afe2c27c16
Thanks, Leonardo! Settings are saved now (at least for me).

Problems #1 and #3 needs more time to solve.

Problem #2. Looks like mirrors was out of sync at the time you tried to install the package.
Please try again using installation method you like.
Alternatively you can download the package manually and then install it by double clicking it, or in the terminal.

Download links (for manual downloading):
(1) http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?download=paper-icon-theme-1.3.4.tazpkg
(2) http://mirror1.slitaz.org/packages/5.0/paper-icon-theme-1.3.4.tazpkg
Package size is 2.7 MB now.
At least it changed 'list-remove' icon from '×' to '–', so you have regular '–' and '+' buttons (instead of '×' and '+').

Hello Guys,

Problem #2: I've downloaded the paper-icon-theme-1.3.4.tazpkg and installed it via doubleclicking. According to the messages from the upcoming dialog it seemed to work.
And according to the tazpanel package manager the package has installed around 50 icons.
But nothing has changed regarding the icons in gnumeric.

Problem #3: I've installed the dconf package but it didn't help. Still, my preferences are not saved and on a terminal I still get the error messages that I mentioned above in my last post.
Please note, these are different error messages compared to those that Aleksej got.

Hi Andreas,

In order to use icon theme you need to choose it:
Applications menu → Settings → Appearance GTK+
Go to “Icon Theme” tab and choose “Paper” from the installed icon themes.
Click Apply and Close buttons.

Hi Aleksej,
after acitvating the paper icon theme according to your description, icons in the complete system and also gnumeric are changed.
But still, the (+) and (-) icons are not there. Previously, instead of (+) and (-) something like a "not available" or "parking forbidden" sign was shown. Now, instead of (+) and (-) there are just blank spaces shown.
Easily to be checke with 'format cell/number/number/decimal places' or

Sorry, I'm not kidding, but it became clear that you need additionally install librsvg package because Paper icon theme use icons in both formats: png (bitmap) and svg (vector) at the same time.
I added "librsvg" to the package depends, but looks like you have an older version of the package without this modification.

And excuse me, I still can't even touch your other problems. Please wait a couple of days, currently I have a hard work…
