Today I uploaded new packages for the LibreOffice 4.2.3 . The original packages were made available a little while ago but several people (myself included) were not happy with them.
LibreOffice 4.2.3 has an issue when you are running KDE. A bug in the session-restore functionality caused the LibreOffice applications to “hang” after the window outlines had been drawn on the screen. I took a commit from the development tree and used that as a patch to recompile my libreoffice packages for Slackware 14.1 and -current.
I can confirm that the patched package solved the problem for me.
Get the new packages here (Slackware 14.1 and -current):

I had done the upgrade, but I had not yet used it. I am upgrading again now.
Thanks for all your work for all the packages you provide.
Thanks for packages.
But I have issue (run under slackware-current-x64)
when I start new document and want to “Save as…”, LO crashed with message in console:
soffice.bin: /tmp/kde-build/extragear/oxygen-gtk2-1.4.4/src/animations/oxygendatamap.h:87: T& Oxygen::DataMap::value(GtkWidget*) [with T = Oxygen::InnerShadowData; GtkWidget = _GtkWidget]: Assertion iter != _map.end()’ failed.
So, I must copy other document to new name, open it, clear all, write new text and simple “Save”
Both commands (“Save as” and “Save copy”) don’t work.

The patch file
libreoffice.kde_qt_sessionmanager.patch
Is not in the build/patches directory
Thanks

Thanks.

P.S. We use 60% hydration with strong white mixed with a very small amount of very strong wholemeal.
Thanks Eric, but I’ve the same issue as LOE.
Slackware -current x64 with KDE 4.13
Hi John,
I uploaded the patch file.
Eric
David, LOE – if you find patches let me know and I will see what I can do about it.
But it looks like the patch to oxygen-gtk2 as proposed in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331879 will fix this.
Could even be that the latest oxygen-gtk2 source release (http://ftp.kde.org/stable/oxygen-gtk2/1.4.5/src/oxygen-gtk2-1.4.5.tar.bz2) fixes this for you. If you don’t want to wait, just download that tarball, place it in src/extragear instead of the oxygen-gtk2 tarball that’s there now, and run:
# KDE.SlackBuild extragear:oxygen-gtk2
# upgradepkg /tmp/kde-build/oxygen-gtk2-1.4.5-*.t?z

Hi samac 🙂
Yes, my breads usually have 60-61% hydration because I like it best when working with dough of that consistency. However, I want to re-try my spelt sourdough with a somewhat higher hydration and lots of stretch & fold inside the bowl. I think I did way too little folds and that’s why I ended up with a day too dense bread.
A 100% spelt bread is very tricky to bake, is what I found out. The ones that rise properly turn dry in a day.

Hello
I just compiled new oxygen-gtk2-1.4.5 and LO don’t crash
Thanks again.
PS. KDE.SlackBuild do upgrade of package automaticaly.
Eric
Try adding 4% (by weight) vegetable oil to the mix and the bread will last a couple of days longer. Never tried spelt and never really tried sourdough.

Sorry, just tried to open and save, and 4.2.3 crashed out, I’ve downgraded to 4.2.2 in the meantime.

I have a problem with lowriter – impossible to start for the second time in a session. No problem with localc to my great surprise.
Got the same crashed here as LOE’s. I’m using Slackware64-14.1 multilib. Upgrading the oxygen-gtk2 to version 1.4.5 fix the issue.
