Can't install LibreOffice

Whenever I try

$tazpkg get-install get-LibreOffice

I get: "unable to find: get-LibreOffice in the mirrored packages list"

We can browse the web and checked our firewall. Nothing is being denied.

I am at a lost.

Re: Can't install LibreOffice

First step #tazpkg recharge then #tazpkg up.

Second step #tazpkg search office

If LibreOffice is not shown in the answer, there is a problem with the mirror

No matter you might go to http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/slitaz/packages/stable/ and download

get-LibreOffice-1.2.tazpkg then #tazpkg install get-LibreOffice-1.2.tazpkg

Re: Can't install LibreOffice

The 'get' Packages:

These packages contain only a script.

after installing the get-package, you need to run the script

# get-LibreOffice

Re: Can't install LibreOffice

I inch forward.

I ran the script which seemed to install except for the following line:

chmod: usr/lib/liboffice?*/shar/xdg/*.desktop: No such file or directory

And I can't find any shortcuts to run the program. Any quick fix?

Re: Can't install LibreOffice

@rcadmin

There seems to be some errors in the script. I'll have a look at it in a moment. Alternatively, someone with repo access could take a look at it, and give some insight on this?

For future reference though, you shouldn't download the get-* scripts, but instead run

[c]

tazpkg get-install LibreOffice

[/c]

This should look for the LibreOffice package, not find it, look for get-LibreOffice, download that, and then execute and install the package as you would've otherwise desired.

Oh, and for the quick fix, just run

[c]

libreoffice

[/c]

In a terminal.

Re: Can't install LibreOffice

in my case, the problem was after install, the libreoffice binary is nowhere to be found. there was an error message saying

[c]rpm2cpio: can't open 'desktop-integration/*freedesktop*.rpm' : No such file or directory[/c]

the installation was still able to progress and complete with some error messages:

[c]pwd: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory[/c]

and

[c]wget: missing URL[/c]

This is probably caused by switching my root shell over to bash,

I used [c]tazpkg get-install LibreOffice[/c] command as mentioned in above posts.

I need to try with a fresh install and see how it goes.

Re: Can't install LibreOffice

after a fresh install of slitaz and running the [c]tazpkg get-install LibreOffice[/c] will give me the libreoffice4.2 link, however busybox complained about the executable not found problem. This must be an error in the script (Line 171) where the link should locate the [c]/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice[/c] while errornously linked to /usr/lib/libreoffce/libreoffice4.2/program/soffice`

Re: Can't install LibreOffice

I'll try to keep this simple.

I installed Slitaz 4.0

I then used the Package Manager to "install" get-LibreOffice & only that.

I then, as root, ran get-LibreOffice.

No menu icon.

libreoffice not found

no entry in /bin or /usr/bin

PrinterAdmin4.2 is there.

find / -iname 'libreoffice*' finds nothing of that name.

The error message "chmod: usr/lib/liboffice?*/shar/xdg/*.desktop: No such file or directory" shows why there is no Menu option but on its own does not explain get-LibreOffice script clearly failing.

This was a virgin installation with only one pkg.

Earlier I had tried on the 5.0 RC and tried several packages at once. Some were in Menu & some were not. Hence this specific test.

As you were going to look at it "in a moment" I was wondering what you discovered?

As LibreOffice may have moved stuff can there be a get-LibreOfficex.x script to install an earlier version that does install. This appears to 4.2.5.

Cheers

Re: Can't install LibreOffice

I think I have uploaded a file showing all the errors as a result of running get-LibreOffice.

Does anyone have an explanation

Re: Can't install LibreOffice

Okay tlp7.txt contains all the output from set -x except the actual download & unpack messages for which there were no errors, otherwise it is 319 pages of A4 size so be grateful for small mercys.

It just strikes me that get-LibreOffice is out of date

Re: Can't install LibreOffice

Hi, i fixed missing entries in menu and libreoffice link in /usr/bin.

You can download updated script at http://people.slitaz.org/~shann/get-LibreOffice.

Also download updated package from cooking repository.

Re: Can't install LibreOffice

Thanks for such a quick response.

There were a few apps I tried that didn't appear in the Menu and some that did. Is there a more generic thing solution that I could do? I'm not really able to make significant changes nowadays but sed'ing a few paths is fine.

Cheers
