Hi...
Originally having overlooked the thread in multimedia concerning
StarOffice, I went back into the archives and re-read all of the messages,
and haven't seemed to come across answers for any of these, so I shall
ask here.
====[ online help ]====
svdaemon needs to be started to get online help...has anyone succeeded
in getting this to work? If I type 'svdaemon', it just sort of hangs there,
where I would have expected it to auto-background itself. Not so big a
problem, except that if I go to help/contents, I get nothing. If I do a 'ps x'
after doing this, I see:
10557 v0 S 0:00.06 /usr/local/StarOffice-3.1/linux-x86/bin/svdaemon
Oops, swriter3 starts up its own svdaemon when you try to do
help/contents...the readme file seems to imply that I had to do it manually :(
Restart swriter3, don't start svdaemon, go to help/contents...it starts
up svdaemon, but still no help.
====[ inter-application communication ]====
Again, doesn't auto-background, but since I'm not really certain on how
to make use of that one, can't test it.
Also, after a period of time, I get:
Cannot register service: RPC: Timed out
unable to register (SVPORTMAP, SVPORTMAPVERSION, udp).
====[ swriter3: loading files ]====
The reason I wanted at online help was to hopefully find an answer
to this problem.
I have a text based file that I want to load up into StarOffice
and play around with formatting and whatnot. If I go to open and try to
load the file, I get an error of:
Non-existent object
Non-existent file
So I can't seem to load the file.
If I rename the file as <filename>.txt, I get as far as it asking
me for the 'filter' to use, which I choose 'Text Unix', and then after I
click 'Ok', it then proceeds to give me the same error again, but actually
loads the file this time...
