Update to 3.6.1

Peter_Hillier-Brook · August 29, 2012, 4:18pm

I've just updated to LibO 3.6.1 and hit the following problem when trying to access my address book

Does anyone recognise it, Google doesn't?

Peter_Hillier-Brook · August 29, 2012, 5:03pm

Interestingly everything is fine on a 32 bit installation!

Hi
Errr, on the 64bit Ubuntu is the java also 64bit? If it is then can you try installing a 32 bit version of 1.6_32? LO can be told which version of java to use so it might work

All was well with LibO 3.6.0 and Java 1.7_05 just prior to the upgrade,

Hi,
Since many years I use to update my office suites without removal. All major versions (OOo 1 and 2, LibO and OOo 3) are separate applications with separated profile folders anyway.
Any problems (if any) are related to the user profile which can be reset by renaming a folder. Within the profile issues, the installed extensions are the major culprit (but not the ones I use to have installed). So I extract the downloaded archive, change to the extracted directory/DEBS and run
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
If I want that version to be the default program with menu and everything I change to the desktop-integration subdirectory and install that package too.
If I do not want that version to be the default program I add a couple of my own desktop links to the respective executables. There were times when I had OOo 1.1.5, 2.4.3, 3.4beta, LibO 3.3 and 3.5.x installed in parallel without any problem.

Problems that come up quite frequently on this list are not the normal case. It is designed to be update out of the box, particularly on Linux.
Just my 2 Cents,
A.S.

At least your's runs... Mine errored on the dictionaries & failed to run

I suspect that it doesn't like that I didn't uninstall 3.6.0 first.

Remember that 3.6.1.2 is a pre-release. I'm thinking that renaming the extension folder may resolve the problems with the dictionaries.

Not according to this:
<https://www.libreoffice.org/download/>

3.6.1 is the default on that page & nodetect:
<https://www.libreoffice.org/download/?nodetect>
<https://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=deb-x86_64>

I don't even see 3.6.0 until I get here:
<https://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=deb-x86_64&lang=en-US>
and clicking puts me here:
<https://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=deb-x86_64&lang=en-US&version=3.6.1>
No mention of pre-release there.

No pre-release versions available until September:
<https://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/>
"There's presently no current pre-release version available, stay tuned
for 3.6.2 builds, scheduled for September 2012."

My bad... I forgot that I had previously set the user profile for
libreoffice3.6/user vs libreoffice/user. Modified bootstraprc for
libreoffice3.6 and 3.6.1 now starts.

@Peter: I cannot replicate your error in 64bit or 32bit.

@Dan: I moved /libreoffice3.6/share/extensions to
/libreoffice3.6/share/extensions_bak and did another install. Same errors:
Errors were encountered while processing:
libreoffice3.6-dict-en_3.6.1.2-2_amd64.deb
libreoffice3.6-dict-es_3.6.1.2-2_amd64.deb
libreoffice3.6-dict-fr_3.6.1.2-2_amd64.deb
(and on 32bit deb as well).

I'll test by removing 3.6 completely.

It gets even more murky! My problem occurred under Kubuntu. Installing on another machine running Ubuntu with the dreaded Unity went just fine.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Peter_Hillier-Brook · August 29, 2012, 9:06pm

That sounds like Windows solution!

For Ubuntu, I run "openjdk-6-jre" instead of the "default-jre" from Oracle. There are RPM downloads, but no DEB versions on Oracle's web site. Maybe Debian/Ubuntu do not want you to have to choose yourself, or Oracle does not know how to make a proper DEB install file. Either way, I am sticking with 1.6_x for Windows and "openjdk-6" for Ubuntu so I so not have to deal with Java 1.7_x.

Also, Oracle has "special instructions" on their web site about 64-bit installs.

Tom_Davies · August 29, 2012, 10:39pm

Hi
LibreOffice doesn't have a 64bit version and allegedly needs java to be 32 bit too.

Hi :)
This guide might help if y9ou want to run a few versions of LO and/or AOO alongside each other

As far as I know, only Windows does not have a 64 bit version. Linux has 64 bit version for both DEB and RPM. The following is the folder containing the installation files for LO 3.6.1.2 The Java I use is also 64 bit that I get from the Ubuntu Repository (OpenJDK Java 6) with all the patches.

This may also be a Windows problem. My tower uses Ubuntu 11.10 (64 bit). Right now I have LO 3.4.6, 3.5.6, 3.6.1, AND AOO 3.4.1. Side note: If I want to run say 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 installing in parallel might be a good idea.
I have found that I can not run 3.5.6 and 3.6.1 at the same time. Yet I can run either one of them with LO 3.4.6 or AOO 3.4.1. So I can have three different "soffice" instances running at the same time as long as two of them are 3.5 and 3.6. This is true even when I use these two:
/opt/libreoffice3.6/program/soffice
/opt/libreoffice3.5/program/soffice

Hi
Ahh, yes, most of the guide is about making sure none of the quick-starter or any other back-ground process is running. The only problem with multiple versions is nothing to do with the actual install itself, it's about running them at the same time as that 'cant' be done yet afaik.

It's interesting to hear that possibly pre-3.5.x can be run at the same time as a 3.5.x or later. I wonder if a AOO can be run at the same time as a 3.5.x or later too?

I don't know where you got that idea from, unless you haven't noticed that I'm talking about Linux, not the MS product.

I've been using fully 64 bit systems for several years, firstly with OOo and then LO and, as indicated further down this thread, the combination is functioning perfectly well on another system with the same software installation(s). I'm guessing that the mal-functioning is related to the profile somewhere. Experiments continue.

Tom_Davies · August 30, 2012, 4:03pm

Hi
Ahh, so that is not the issue then. Sorry!

Does the version of java have to match the app or the OS? I would have thought it has to match the app? Sorry, i'm still curious even tho it's not the issue in this thread.

I'll test by removing 3.6 completely.

Did that & still encountered the errors. Seems that this is an regression:
