hi，everyone：
I want to run libreoffice transplants to the arm, how can I do? thinks。

Hi :slight_smile:
Do you mean Arm as in a tablet, netbook or something?

I think there is a beta-testing or alpha-testing version around somewhere that would be well worth trying but i am not certain where it is.

Perhaps the simplest way is to install Debian - there are already packages for
ARM in repository.
There is official port to armel (http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/) and unofficial
(it just means that it has not yet met quality criteria - you can expect some
bugs and rough edges) port to armhf (http://wiki.debian.org/ArmHardFloatPort).

Although if you want to run LO on touchscreen device, it may be quite unusable
because of user interface which was created with mouse and keyboard in mind.

hi，
  I am ready to libreoffice running on the tablet, the tablet with ubuntu system.

  version of the debian-arm architecture can not be directly compiled into the
version of ubuntu can run on, or need to do a lot of changes, or must be replaced
by the debian system to run on top.

  For touch screen control should not be a big problem, the most stupid way the
system inside a converted virtual should be able to, or directly to another on a touch
screen interface, belongs to the latter!

  If you want to own modified version of the x86 architecture is not very large
version of the workload of the arm architecture?

Hi :slight_smile:
Most programs have not yet had touch-screen functionality added.  It is not just LibreOffice that is behind.  Most OSes that claim to be fully-touchscreen are still having problems.  Ubuntu has probably ironed-out more problems than most but it does take programmers time to write code to do things and touch-screen is a very new thing for mainstream usage.

Hi :slight_smile:
It sounds as though LibreOffice-Arm is not ready yet.  Apparently it is not yet compiled and alpha-tested in Ubuntu.  Even tho Debian and Ubuntu are in the same family Debian programs do not always work well in Ubuntu.

As with most programs it is written for keyboard and mouse.  You might be able to get an on-screen keyboard.  I am sure i have used one in Ubuntu before.  Do you know how to search for software and check that it is free?  I vaguely remember it being in Accessibility features although that seems a slightly mad place to look for an on-screen keyboard.

I've been using Libreoffice, and OpenOffice before it, on ARM for many years. You can get it from debian or ubuntu repositories. I presume the sources are there too (?). It generally works very well and is as stable as the i386 versions. Unfortunately -base broke some years back and has been removed from the repositories.

No comment on its usability with touchscreens. I have only used external keyboards (USB, BT or slide keyboard on my Nokia N900), so have never dealt with using an on-screen keyboard.

You can download original sources and Debian patchset from
http://packages.debian.org/sid/libreoffice (look at the right side of page).

Hi :slight_smile:
Ahh, brilliant!  Thanks for clarifying that!  Errr, just to clarify about using LO on a Noki phone!?  Does that work?  Can you see enough clearly enough to be useful for you?

It works just fine on the phone. Of course it's pretty small but you can make it full-screen and hide all the toolbars to get as much usable space as possible. I've used it for serious work when I can't get to anything with a bigger screen.

Cheers, Jonathan
