offlineMemberThanks, now the installation is pointing to dynamic instead static, however i get this error at startup:
skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtDBus.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
tazpkg get-install libQtDBus
did the final trick.

Concerning your recomendation to use SRWare Iron browser instead of Google Chrome, I assume you mean it has the same capabilities of "updated" flash. I already have Midori and SeaMonkey but these two web browsers do not have updated flash so I cannot use them to enter into my bank account. But I understand that Google Chrome does have the most recent flash embeded (sp?) into. Is this the same with SRWare browser? Thanks.Posted 11 years ago # -

offlineKey MasterThe bank's login uses flash? The most insecure (as in documented hacks and backdoors) medium on the internet? Use https instead - it's WAY more secure.

offlineMember@LocoMotor101, I checked the version of Flash on Iron, it's 11.2.202.251. Reckon that's not the 'latest'. Check out http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ it has some additional details on the various versions of Flash on different platforms/browser. Looks like you are stuck with one of the other browsers.
@shintsan88, to get LibreOffice shortcuts working, you'll need to fix the symlink /usr/bin/libreoffice3.6. The script sets the symlink's target incorrectly. Do the following as root:
$ rm /usr/bin/libreoffice3.6
$ln -s /usr/lib/libreoffice3.6/program/soffice /usr/bin/libreoffice3.6After that, the shortcuts should start working. Now you did mention that you are unable to see the shortcuts in the Applications -> Office menu. Can you check to see if the libreoffice*.desktop files exist in /usr/share/applications? If they do, check their permissions to make sure you have read access. If that's fine, then open one of them in a text editor and make sure they don't contain a "Hidden" or "NoDisplay" equals true entry (although I can't imagine why that would happen).
Lastly, after I fixed the symlink I still couldn't get LibreOffice to work, it would work as root but fail as a non-root user with a "com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException" error. To fix this, you will need to do the following as root:
$chown -R username:username /home/username/.config/libreoffice
where username is your username. Hope this helps.

many thanks for the advice, I have saved your post for future reference.
what I did as a wayaround is to simply use a portable version of LibreOffice - all it requires is Java Runtime and set "execute" in permissions of the portable file's properties.
however the smooth and snappy performance of Abiword and Gnumeric in Slitaz won me over, which made LibreOffice no longer necessary for me - except when I encounter powerpoint files, I get to use the portable version : )
many thanks again and kudos to us all who love Slitaz! ^_^

offlineKey Masterhttp://www.trixarian.net/SliTaz and get pptview. It needs WINE, but works great for viewing all powerpoint files. You could also attempt installing just powerpoint from an Office CD and running it through WINE too.

offlineMember@ Trixar_za-sensei,
many thanks as well for the advice ^_^
however the idea of running Windows applications in Slitaz brings shivers down my spine - it simply defeats the entire purpose of moving away from Windows. WINE has no place in my old machine, atleast for now. but thats just me :)

offlineMember@ Trixar:
My bank uses https, a flash program to enter a password, and a key that provides random numbers in order to enter into their online banking system. It is ridiculous, but that is what they require. I need to enter every working day into our accounts for work purposes. That is why it is important for me to have the correct flash player to be able to access our bank. So, far, I have not been able to get any web browser on any Linux system to run the latest java flash. I thought an equivalent would do it but no luck, so far. Any ideas are most welcomed.
