[quick howto] openoffice 2.0beta on amd64

Voyageur · Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2005 9:01 am Post subject:

That's strange, I'm typing a document right now in ooffice 1.9.122 (amd64 with nvidia card, nvidia opengl selected) and it's working fine.

Now that you have glibc 2.3.5-r1, you could try to re-emerge nvidia libs (they were the ones which triggered the _dl_next_tls_modid bug in my 32bit binaries like ooffice or epsxe). But that's just a wild guess

It's working fine on my amd64 at home, but not on my machine at work. The one at work is on the 2004.3 profile, while the one at home is 2005.0. I wonder if that makes any difference.

2004.3? What is the version of app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-glibc on it?

If I remember correctly, 2004.3 32-bit glibc was provided by this emul package (already compiled binary), and not directly by the glibc ebuild. So if you have something different than emul-linux-x86-glibc-1000 (dummy package), check the output of

The ldd output doesn't show libc.so.6 at all, but I think you've hit the nail on the head. emul-linux-x86-glibc is version 2.3.5. Maybe it suffers from the same issue as glibc-2.3.5. There is no r1 for the emul package, and I'm assuming there won't be as it's not needed in the profile change. I guess it's time to upgrade profiles.

Thanks,
Jason

Upgrading my profile to 2005.0 seems to have done the trick.

Thanks,

You're welcome, glad I could help (and glad all went smoothly with the upgrade :wink:

If I understand correctly, OO 2.0 works really fast when a suitable 32-bits Java SDK (or JRE) is installed.

What happens if I add -java in my USE flags when emerging openoffice-bin-1.9.122? Does that also make OO run fast? What features I might be missing? I was planning to add this line "=app-office/openoffice-bin-1.9.122 -java" to my /etc/portage/package.use...

Thanks.

I am stunned with OO on my amd64.
The much mentioned start lag that occurs if no 32bit java or no java is available can be avoided if one launches OO like this:

After upgrading to glibc 2.3.5-r1, OpenOffice.org 1.9.122 is finally working like a charm (java has been de-activated).
It was working before, but I needed to switch opengl to xorg-x11 every time I wanted to launch it.

Thanks a lot to the contributors

Does the KDE integration (theme + icons) work for you?

Desintegr · Posted: Mon Oct 03, 2005 2:41 pm Post subject:

KDE integration will not working until AMD64 port is ready.

If you want KDE integration, use OpenOffice2 on 32bits Qt/KDE. (32bits chroot)

Hi Kuhrscher,

could you please tell me:
1) How did you install OpenOffice? Through portage?
2) What version do you have.
3) Any use flag for openoffice?
4) Do you experience the java issue, so the slowness when you start openoffice?

Thank you,
Spiro

Sorry guys,

I read you running OOo 2.0
In order for me to install and run OOo, I need to understan:
1) what to emerge or download/compile manually. Do I emerge what is on portage or do I have to download it from openoffice.org?
2) How to make the KDE integration. The link is no use to me as I do not understand it quite well.

I run amd64.

I appreicate if someone can take few minutes and summarize what I have to do, in order.

Thank you a lot,
Spiro

Hi Kuhrscher

I thank you so much for answering my questions and adding step by step instructions.
I have finally been able to make my pc emerge the latest Masked version of OOo.
I first followed the step by step instructions (very well written).
Now, I am emerging openoffice-bin-2.0.0_rc1 with +java +kde, which should give me the kde integration.

I had to re-emerge it with -gnome -java* +kde to remove the java issue. I also had to uncheck java from options in OOo and remove the java check.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge,
Spiro

OOo works very well. I do experience, when in options I select Java, the OOo windows looks-up, like it freezes for 30 sec - and then it goes back to normal. But, among all selections, only Java selection provides this issue. Besides, if you emerge it without java, in theory you will not even have to check this setting as it is by default unchecked.
So, emerge openoffice-bin without java (-java) and you do not need to mess around Java setting.

Now, any luck enabling sound for OOo events? Anybody knows?

[EDITED] As of Sat Oct 8 20:36:20 2005 2.0.0_rc2 is out but just for x86 [/EDITED]

Thank you,
Spiro
