When will LibreOffice be supported for Live Edit?

I tried the OpenOffice "Live Edit" plugin, but it caused LibreOffice 3.3.4 to hang. I'm running Linux Mint 11 (64-bit).

I WAS having the same issue (until 5 mins ago). Try adding a slash after /tmp -> /tmp/

Go and figure.

Did you follow this documentation: http://doc.nuxeo.com/x/vgQz

I recommend to check this following section "Setup Firefox protocol handler for OpenOffice.org". You replace the Editor command value given for windows by ones for Linux, something like:

/usr/bin/libreoffice

Still doesn't work. Same errors as in screenshot above. I'm running LiveEdit Protocol Handler 0.5.2, with configuration as shown in this screenshot

can you check that libreoffice-java-common is installed on your computer.

Yes, libreoffice-java-common is installed (version 3.4.5). Also, I am running Firefox 10.0 under Linux Mint 12.

i m running the exact same configuration under ubuntu 11.10 64 ( very similar to mint).

Any update ?

First,

then, in the firefox plugin configuration page :

  • change the path to the temp folder ( usually /tmp/).
  • Add the default mapping for openoffice and modify each path (Editor command) with /usr/bin/libreoffice instead of /usr/bin/soffice.
  • check preserve compatibilty

that's all

Thank you, but see this screenshot

I am experiencing pretty much the exact same issue.
