I’m running the nightlies of Walter x86_64, and last night ran my semi-regular software update to get up with the latest in the Haikuverse. This led me to witnessing something slightly distressing… Libreoffice appeared to be downgrading itself from v7.xxx to 6.4.3.1-8 … I wondered if there was some typo involved, or possibly I’d eaten something bad for dinner and was hallucinating; when I looked at the repository at that time it still was reporting v7.x as the current version. I went to bed resolving to deal with it in the morning.
Now it’s the morning, and it appears that this was not a fever-dream. My LibreOffice is now the sub-par version 6.4.3.1-8, and that is also what resides in the Haikuports repository. What, pray tell, gives? Where and how do I get back to 7.x?
I’m sorry to say @bronzie94, though there were reports that LibreOffice 7 was crashing on start up for other users in the Haiku community, and some functionality was broken in relation to opening files. I believe LO 7 should be available again soon enough once these errors are sorted out!
Fair enough - OK, I will be patient. Did some DDG (and even Google!) searching and did not find obvious explanations, but very glad there is one! Good luck to the bug-squishers
It’s weird. On my Haiku 64-bit virtual machine, LibreOffice works without any issues. I can even create a Writing document and reload it.
On my hardware Haiku 64-bit, the opening screen opens in full screen and nothing is selectable, very little is viewable besides grey, and it has to be forcibly killed.
EDIT: Oh. I deleted the settings in Config and re-ran and it looks just fine.
ok, after removing the settings folder, libreoffice_x86-7.0.1.2-2-x86_gcc2.hpkg crashes on opening a document and does not remember the name of the file when attempting to recover the file. ( hrev54540)
