It has come to our attention recently that some folks, in order to use
|
|
|
|
|
the goodness of LibreOffice 4.1 on Ubuntu, are using a LibreOffice PPA
|
|
|
|
|
(personal package archive) which causes OpenLP to crash on startup. This
|
|
|
|
|
seems to be due to a bug in the way LibreOffice is packaged in the PPA,
|
|
|
|
|
as other Linux users on distributions such as Fedora and Arch are not
|
|
|
|
|
encountering the problem.

Please **do not install** LibreOffice from the PPA, it **WILL**
|

break OpenLP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Folks, please note that ***OpenLP is currently not compatible with
|
|
|
|
|
LibreOffice 4.x on Linux*** due to the fact that OpenLP uses Python 2.7
|
|
|
|
|
and LibreOffice uses Python 3.2 which are incompatible. The next version
|
|
|
|
|
of OpenLP, version 2.2, will be compatible with LibreOffice 4.x but
|
|
|
|
|
unfortunately there is no way to backport this compatibility.
