Description Herman Viaene 2020-01-01 11:10:28 CET

Description of problem:
I need this newer version of LibreOffice because of "futureproof-ing" an application I am making (LO is transitioning to firebird as its embedded database).
When I install the rpm's from the LO site and include the libreoffice-kde-integration pack, I get tiny characters in LO's menus.
Looking for a solution in LO forum and cheking the VCL setting shows that the KDE integration does not work, it points to X11. Suggestion was to install the gnome-integration.
That works OK in Xfce and MATE, but in Plasma, all I get a about 2 seconds of the LO splash screen, and then LO crashes. Starting LO at the CLI shows no feedback at all.
Up to now I haven't seen this problem in another distro, although I must confess I did not search a longg time for itt.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
All the time in Plasma. Removing the gnome-integration makes LO working again in Plasma, but the tiny characters reamin.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Hello Herman

Our current LO version for Mageia 7 is 6.2.8.2-1 .
We have version 6.3.4 in Cauldron, but as 'RC2'.
It looks a bit premature to raise bugs on it.
Do you actually *need* the Gnome|KDE-integration thing? I see neither in my M7 libreoffice packages.
Did you remove the KDE integration when installing the Gnome one? Or is it still there?
Otherwise put, is the Plasma LO menu font tiny with and/or without
libreoffice-kde-integration?

This is Thierry's domain, so assigning the bug to him; he can say what to expect or do.

The libreoffice-kde-integration is always there. And no, I don't need or really want the Gnome-integration thing? I installed it on recommendation founf in the LO forum.

(In reply to Lewis Smith from comment #1)
6.3.4.2 is  6.3.4 final

(In reply to Herman Viaene from comment #0)
We've 6.3.4.2 in cauldron for a month (since December 06th) so I don't understand why you download upstream packages.
Anyway we don't support upstream packages, only Mageia ones

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID

Thanks for your comment Thierry.
Deaspite the fact that the bug is closed, I had this poised to ask:

@Herman
Can you give the package name for, or containing, 'libreoffice-kde-integration'?
I cannot find anything like it in the repos; nor on my system which has both Plasma & LibreOffice. Is it a new thing for LO-6.3.4 ? And did you get it too direct from the LO site?

What I am wondering, of course, is whether it (whatever it is) is necessary; and what happens if you [can] remove it.

Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2020-01-02 21:00:17 CET

You can find it in https://miroir.univ-lorraine.fr/documentfoundation/libreoffice/stable/6.3.4/rpm/x86_64/LibreOffice_6.3.4_Linux_x86-64_rpm.tar.gz

$ rpm -qpl libobasis6.3-kde-integration-6.3.4.2-2.x86_64.rpm 
/opt/libreoffice6.3
/opt/libreoffice6.3/program
/opt/libreoffice6.3/program/libkde5be1lo.so
/opt/libreoffice6.3/program/libvclplug_gtk3_kde5lo.so
/opt/libreoffice6.3/program/libvclplug_kde5lo.so
/opt/libreoffice6.3/program/libvclplug_qt5lo.so
/opt/libreoffice6.3/program/lo_kde5filepicker

It's the equivalent of Mageia's libreoffice-kde5

@ Thierry Comment 3:
I never connect to cauldron, certainly not on my "production" desktop, but I need the LO 6.3, and I have been running 6.3.0 and then 6.3.2 (from the LO site) for quite some time without problems.
The problem comes up here with the 6.3.4 version. So I wanted to at least issue a warning on this problem.
