|
|
OpenOffice.org 2.0beta works fine on amd64. Just grab a copy from http://download.openoffice.org/2.0beta/index.html.
and
Code: | tar xzf OOo_2.0beta_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz
cd RPMS
rm openofficeorg-suse-menus-1.9.79-1.noarch.rpm \
openofficeorg-redhat-menus-1.9.79-1.noarch.rpm \
openofficeorg-gnome-integration-1.9.79-1.i586.rpm
for f in `ls *.rpm`; do rpm2targz $f; done
for f in `ls *.rpm`; do rm $f; done
for f in `ls *.tar.gz`; do tar xzf $f; done
for f in `ls *.tar.gz`; do rm $f; done
cd opt/openoffice.org1.9.79/program
./soffice |
OO can take considerable amount of cpu even to start, dont panic. Note that it multilib might be required for successful experiment. |

The beta versions did work before my upgrading to 2005.0 (amd64). After the upgrade the bin version complains about not finding pango in /usr/lib32. I re-emerge pango and still puts it in /usr/lib(64).**
-----------------------
(soffice.bin:541): WARNING **: /usr/lib32/pango/1.4.0/modules/pango-basic-fc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to load Pango module for id: 'BasicScriptEngineFc'
(soffice.bin:541): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1561 (g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
** (soffice.bin:541): CRITICAL **: file pango-engine.c: line 68 (_pango_engine_shape_shape): assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed
** ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0)
aborting...
----------------------
Have you encountered this behaviour?

This is NOT an amd64 version, since there doesn't exist a version for amd64 yet. |

Thanks wzzrd, it has been solved. AMD64 platform can execute x86 binaries naturally. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-314313.html

Thanks for the script. I didn't much feel like waiting for the official release. |

So, the Oo guys are going to release a native 64-bit binary at some point? Or not? _________________ RipOff, a CD Ripper for Linux |

Well, supposedly, but if you take a look at the dates most of the amd64 stuff is posted at oo.org you'll figure that the release is probably pretty far away in the future. Pitty though. Us amd64-users would really like a native port... |

|
|
Hi all, I just installed openoffice 2.0 BETA on my AMD64 and it is so slow to start up. The weird thing is that I have an athlon-xp too and I installed it there too. And on the athlon-xp it is very fast and works very nice. The only difference is that on the AMD64 I have "-gnome +kde" and on the athlon-xp "+gnome +kde". May that be the reason? I have I32 enabled on the kernel, so it should be able to run openoffice as a 32bit application.
Cheers!

There is something really weird going with soffice/gtk+/ on amd64. Currently I run openoffice.org1.9.79, I myself use fluxbox as window manager and soffice works fine. My wife uses gnome and there the trouble begins: after starting soffice, warnings are issued:
Code: | (soffice.bin:16075): Gdk-WARNING **: Error converting from UTF-8 to STRING ... |
She can work with soffice, but when it comes to saving a file or 'save as', soffice crashes, tries to recover etc, but no success. The same happens when running in a xfce4 environment. But again, with fluxbox not.
I did some search in the net already and got systems settings, that e.g. firefox-bin (32bit) starts without the 'GDK-Warning UTF-8 to ISO-8559-1'. From that side the system seems okay
Does anyone experience the same problem? It seems to me there are some problems with the 'GTK frontend' etc.
Best regards, |

I did that already:
Code: | # emerge -p emul-linux-x86-gtklibs
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs-1.2-r1
|
But the problem still persists

Some of the trouble might be that shared libs didn't get unloaded. When I login right after booting and starting X with fluxbox as windowmanager, firefox-bin (32bit) and soffice 2.0 don't produce any GDK-Warnings about utf8 to iso-8859. But doing that (login startx with fluxbox) after my wife was at the computer with 'gnome' as desktop, even firefox-bin (32bit) produces the GDK-Warnings. For me it seems that one of the gtk-libs in 64bit mode is broken when it comes to string conversation. As long as the 64bit version of that lib is not loaded firefox-bin and soffice works fine. If it gets loaded or is already loaded, the 32bit applications like soffice and firefox-bin make problems. I know, somewhere is a setting to tell whether shared libraries shall be unloaded afer use or stay in main memory. That would help for me with fluxbox as windowmanager. Even after using the 64bit version of that lib, it will get unloaded and soffice and firefox-bin will be fine. For gnome as desktop the problem will continue to exist.
I guess I switch back to OO-1.4.

Forgive an obviously stupid question, but OpenOffice is Open Source is it not?
As that is the case, why wouldn't one be able to compile OpenOffice 1.9m104 so that it is a 64-bit Application?
The only reason why I would think that this would not be possible is if the developers made assumptions on bit-calculations and register sizes, in turn making it not very efficient under a 64-bit Enviroment (as it would be computing a 32-bit value using the full register width).
If that is the case, then wouldn't it still be possible to compile for a 64-bit Enviroment, however it would require greater ammounts of memory while running? |

This is crazy.
I did a little experiment.
JRE(Blackdown) on, CPU in powersave mode (800Mhz): 211 Seconds to start
JRE(Blackdown) on, CPU in performance mode (1800Mhz): 99 Seconds to start
JRE off, 800Mhz: 4 seconds.
JRE off, 1800Mhz: 2 seconds.
I have to assume something weird is going on here. I'm experience a 50x performance increase by disabling the JRE.
I'll see if I can install a Sun JRE, perhaps that plays better. |

Does anyone know what the jre is for in openoffice2? I don't miss any functionality.. |

How do you disable JRE for just one particular package? I tried disable java in OO2 settings, but everytime I try to uncheck that checkbox, OO2 freezes. |

I have no problems with OOBeta2 with Java:
Code: |
$time oowriter
real 0m3.348s
user 0m2.185s
sys 0m0.179s
|
Although I do get the terminal flooding messages Quote: | Gdk-WARNING **: Error converting from UTF-8 to STRING: Conversion from character set 'UTF-8' to 'ISO-8859-1' is not supported | .
I installed Sun-Java myself (32bit of course) from their website instead of using portage or blackdown.
