Arch Linux

For example, if the path contains space then LO will divide it in two and try to open as two files.

Can you try the LibO binary pkg from AUR andcheck if it's an upstream issue? How does vanilla OOo behave?

Hi, Andreas,

I've got the same problem here. I tested the AUR pkg and there's not such a problem.
I downloaded the ABS and installed it and got the same problem. Could you pls verify that?
Another issue: there's an empty bar and I can't get rid of it. I close it and the next document I open, the bar is there.
By the way: I'm using KDE.

Hi, Andreas,

I've just tested the new package (after having deleted the old config files) and got the same problems.

Hi, Andreas,

I've just tested the new package (after having deleted the old config files) and got the same problems.

I've noticed the same issue with the current version of libreoffice in [extra] (3.2.99.2-2) - double-clicking a file which has spaces in the path fails to open that file, as does attempting to do it from the command line. The problem appears to be in the /usr/lib/ooo-3.3/program/soffice file - replacing this file with the equivalent file from the openoffice-base package (/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice) seems to resolve this issue. Don't know if this will cause other problems, though.

I can't reproduce this with libreoffice x86_64 from extra. AA, what config files did you delete?

please try to use OOo internal file open dialog and the one from your desktop (gtk/qt). does it make a difference?

Hok: I deleted the whole LibreOffice under ~/.config.

Andreas: using the internal open dialog works just fine. The problem is when I try to open a file in Dolphin.

Same problem here on x86_64 , KDE .
Note : i removed ooo completely before installing libreoffice

Using Krusader :
double click on 'oolite ships.ods' gives 2 errors : oolite.ods doesn't exist , ships.ods doesn't exist .
right-click on file and 'open with' works, so does opening from within libreoffice programs.

to me this suggests that the problem is in the start command.

Update : folders with spaces in the name also break the loading.

I don't have the quickstarter installed afaik.

It's the systray-quickstarter thing. After deleting libreofice & openoffice config folders from .config, same bug happend here (had go-oo installed previously). But it always worked once the first time after login, and failed afterwards. So I disabled the quickstarter in settings, and it opens "test test" again. Please try if it is the same for you.

My theory is that libreoffice somehow picked up my old options from go-oo when I run it the first time (had quickstart disabled on previous go-oo install).

Should be taken upstream I guess? Can try the binary in AUR later.

According to the thread on this issue in the forum, changing line 88 in /usr/lib/ooo-3.3/program/soffice from the following:

if "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" $*; then

to the following:

if "$sd_prog/$sd_binary" "$@"; then

appears to work. Double-clicking on a file with spaces in the path works as expected after making this change.

suggest the change upstream. this is of major interest and shouldn't be done downstream.

This is not a problem for me with the latest version.
Was it fixed upstream or on Arch's package?

Is it fixed for all of you?

fixed for me, looks like an upstream change
