Hi
I'm using Slitaz 5.0 rc3 and installed LibreOffice using the Package Manager some how it doesn't work.
It does not show up in the office applications.
Not beeing held back by any real computer knowledge I looked for the LibreOffice package.
I found it in /usr/bin when I dubbelklick it I get the choices * execute ( if I klick on it nothing happens )
* execute in terminal ( if I klick on it I get a blackscreen and have no idea what to do )
* open ( if I klick on that I get the following and still no idea )

Hi Red,
You can install latest LibreOffice from the SliTaz Next repository.
LibreOffice from this site is compatible with the SliTaz-5 series.
[*]Follow link to visit download page: http://cook.slitaz.org/next/LibreOffice/download
[*]Download the LibreOffice itself package (the biggest, 106.9MB package file) to your machine. Note, the package is big and need some amount of time to download.
[*]You can also download some langpacks (LibreOffice interface translations and dictionary). Note, I don't make Netherland langpack yet, but can make it for you if you want.
[*]On this step I advice you to remove old LibreOffice package (not necessarily, but desirable).
[*]Install new package(s) you download by double clicking them, entering root password, and pressing "Install" button. Note, package is big and required some time to installing...
That's all.
I tested it right now in my SliTaz-5-based distro, and it works well.

Thanks for the advice Aleksej.
I down loaded the package, removed the ,, old " one, dubble clicked on the new one and clickt on install.
It all seemed to work fine, it took some time to install but if I check the packagelist it's there.
So far so good, but how do I get it to work ?
It doesn't show up anywere. If I try to open a spreadsheet, don't get the option LibreOffice calc.

you can try as root:
find / -name "libreoffice"
normally it should be somewhere in /urs/bin
Launchers should be:
Writer: /usr/bin/libreoffice -writer
Calc: /usr/bin/libreoffice -calc
Draw: /usr/bin/libreoffice -draw
Impress: /usr/bin/libreoffice -impress
Math: /usr/bin/libreoffice -math

Hi there!
The list of all files (huge) is included, of course: http://cook.slitaz.org/next/LibreOffice/files
LibreOffice is installed to [c]/opt/libreoffice5.4/[/c] folder.
Binary is [c]/usr/bin/libreoffice5.4[/c] that is symlink to -> [c]/opt/libreoffice5.4/program/soffice[/c]
Desktop files are:
[c]/usr/share/applications/libreoffice5.4-base.desktop
/usr/share/applications/libreoffice5.4-calc.desktop
/usr/share/applications/libreoffice5.4-draw.desktop
/usr/share/applications/libreoffice5.4-impress.desktop
/usr/share/applications/libreoffice5.4-math.desktop
/usr/share/applications/libreoffice5.4-qstart.desktop
/usr/share/applications/libreoffice5.4-startcenter.desktop
/usr/share/applications/libreoffice5.4-writer.desktop
/usr/share/applications/libreoffice5.4-xsltfilter.desktop[/c]
Icons are in [c]/usr/share/icons/hicolor/[/c]
MIME data in [c]/usr/share/mime/packages/libreoffice5.4.xml[/c]
To solve problem step-by-step, first, please run in your terminal:
[c]libreoffice5.4[/c]
It warns about Java not installed: it required for LibreOffice extensions, and LibreOffice itself works without it. And the main window of LibreOffice opens for me. What about you? Is it shows something else than mine?—
[c]lexeii@slitaz:~$ libreoffice5.4

I started my post with,, not beeing held back by any real computer knowlege " so most of this is dubble dutch to me.
But I typed libreoffice5.4 in the Sakura terminal, and his is the result
tux@slitaz:~$ libreoffice5.4
/bin/sh: libreoffice5.4: not found
tux@slitaz:~$
there is no libreoffice 5.4 anywere
not in mime packages
not in applications
not in bin
according to the package manger it's installed

find / -name "libreoffice" >result.txt
and attach result.txt

Hi Red,
So, you claim that none of these files are in the system?
http://cook.slitaz.org/next/LibreOffice/files#LibreOffice
No folder [c]/opt/libreoffice5.4[/c], no file [c]/usr/bin/libreoffice5.4[/c], no menu files in [c]/usr/share/applications[/c]?..
Looks like some bad technical problems. Let's say, the free space in your hard disk was over. And when files are extracted from the package, they was discarded.
According to this info LibreOffice package need 422 MB of free space to install. Note, the package itself is 107 MB, and it is also on the hard disk (and also in the cache, I can't recall).
I'm using Slitaz 5.0 rc3
Or maybe you use it like Live CD on the system with small RAM. Acting in live mode, all the files are resides in the RAM, and your free RAM is ended... Looks like?
So I advice you to install SliTaz on the hard disk.
Or maybe, you already installed your SliTaz to the hard disk, but allocated a little space for "baby" SliTaz. In reality, 3 - 5 - 10 GB or even more will be perfect if you want to use SliTaz more, and to install programs.
Ah, output of next command will show the space available for root file system:
[c]df -h /[/c]
What it says for you?
Or, maybe SliTaz 5.0 RC3 has a terrible problems?
(I think, better to remove all that RC's from the server to not to fool people's head; leaving only "weekly stable" rolling ISOs).
-----------------
Hi Thomas,
Your command will not find anyone file from that package. But you probably have your own goals. So, just draw your attention.
-----------------
Have a nice day for all of you guys!
(it looks like less warmer than yesterday)

You can test this in SliTaz 5 on my 4.0 it works ok.

@Red
Why you don't try the much more powerful http://www.freeoffice.com/en/ ?
It's easy to install and works like a charme.
The FreeOffice works fantastically with files made and formatted in Microsoft Office. It’s loss-free.
System requirements: Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, Windows XP or any PC-based Linux (32 or 64 bits)
...why not - give it a try and enjoy ;-)
Offline
Hi aniguenni,
Softmaker's FreeOffice isn't bad at all. But I not sure Red will be able to install it without any computer knowledge. And I can't make the SliTaz package with it because I doubt I can redistribute it at all. Seems, here we need yet another get-script.
(And why I not use it — it still missed formula support. And my papers are simply overflowing with formulas. Like this one:)

Oke Aleksej, you caught me redhanded.
I have been using Slitaz live eversinds my harddrive broke down.
I wanted persisting changes so I installed Slitaz on a sdcard ( with the help of Ceel )
Slitaz beeing verry small, I used a 1GB sdcard.
So you remark makes sense.
My mistake ( I'm the monkey that has'n learned the trick yet ) I'm not sure I have time to make an other
sdcard this week, bussy at work and a lot of try and error to get card working, but I let the results know
as soon as possible
Thanks so far
Red
Offline
Aleksej you are right - thats the correct question
find / -name "libreoffice*" >result.txt or find / -name "*office*" >result.txt
and I think, we can make a freeoffice.tazpkg, because they give it often to CDs in computermagazines and it is/was also part of fluxflux distribution - https://fluxflux.net/?p=541
Offline
Well I found some time, and the installation of Slitaz on a sdcard wend right the first time (I'm learning )
I downloaded the package and installed it, now it shows up, so far so good.......but
If I click on an icon, the LibreOffice logo shows up for 1 second and a little round thing is there for some
30 seconds and that's it.
This happens with write, calc, impress etc.
If I type df -h / in the terminal this is the result
tux@slitaz:~$ df -h /
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 3.6G 915.2M 2.6G 26% /
If I type LibreOffice 5.4 in the terminal this is the result
tux@slitaz:~$ libreoffice5.4
javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!
Warning: failed to read path from javaldx
/opt/libreoffice5.4/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libcups.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It's a bit different from your's, looks like something is missing.
Should I reinstall LibreOffice ?
Or do you have some magic trick to fix it.

Hi Red,
The solution should be very simple — you need to install "libcups" package.

Yes ! it works!
Thanks Aleksej
