LibreOffice 4.0.1 failing to start

Submitted by bigade on March 21, 2013 - 1:11pm

Hello everyone, I hope you can help.

Libreoffice just fails to start. No message or error screen. If I have task manager open, I see Libreoffice start and then close within seconds.

It seems to be the issue that others had with a previous version. I've looked and have those .dll's that were missing then.

Any ideas?

cheers

Hi everyone, tried searching for a solution to this here and via google, but no joy - hoping someone here can help me!

Anyway, I've created a portable installation of LO on my home PC using "LibreOfficePortable_4.0.0.3_MultilingualNormal.paf.exe", and transferred the folder to my work PC (unable to run installers on that one due to paranoid IT dept).

However, when I try to run any of the LibreOffice executables, I get the following error:

soffice - Fatal Error
The program cannot be started.
The service manager is not available.
("Cannot obtain UNO_SERVICES from uno ini")

LibreOffice Portable on CITRIX?

Submitted by monika_t on March 18, 2013 - 11:40am

Hello,

we would like to use LibreOffice in a CITRIX environment. Right now the second user can't start LibreOffice because of the .lock file.
For several reasons we would prefer using the portable edition versus the 'normal' one.
Is there a way of setting the path to the LibreOffice settings (DataDir) depending on the windows user?

I guess this would solve the CITRIY multi user issue.

Has anybody experiences with LibreOffice portable on CITRIX?

Thanks a lot
Monika

[Fixed] 4.0 - wrong language for EnglishGB

The language of my launcher is set to English (Great Britain), however, LibreOffice is started with English (USA), which is not the same as the launcher. I have told the launcher to use its language in all portable apps. I now have to browse to the directory and run the executable manually in order to get the correct language which is English (UK).

Libre Office Tool Bar

Submitted by degiorgi on February 23, 2013 - 5:18pm

I believe Icons are a weak point in LibreOffice because many of them does not suggest the corresponding action.

Moving the mouse over any icon in the ToolBar does not show the function of this icon. This is normal in Open Office (Oracle and Apache)
Is it posible to do this and how?

LibreOffice 4.0.0.3 Portable. Win7 Ultimate

Thank You.

Keep 3.6.5 how to ...

The changes to LO4 may make you want to keep LO3.6.5.
It is easy to have both: just rename the LO folder, e.g.
"LibreOfficePortable" ---> "LibreOfficePortable3.6.5"
then add the LO4. After making the name change the prompt
for updating LO3.6.5 will not appear.
Duplicate files will appear in the program list, but hovering
the mouse over one will display the version.
