Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Read error on .ods file
Hi :)
That is where i get completely stuck, especially if i can see the xml. Luckily my text editor can
be switched from reading "Plain text" to "html/css" which just about covers xml too so at least i
can roughly work out which bits are the texts. With no xml at all or very little then i would be
very stuck.
Is everything in Csv format with commas between columns and a new-line for a new row? If so then
copy&paste sounds like one possible but messy route!
Tbh if OpenOffice can deal with this file and LO can't then i would recommend either having both
installed or just going back to OpenOffice for a while. They are so similar in code-base and
ideals that it's not worth struggling. Of course LO is better but you can always try it again at
some point in the future to see if it is better for you, your machine and your files
Aaargh, i have just upgraded this machine and can't get back into Seamonkey and all my lovely
links! I tried hunting for the page on installing multiple instances of LibreOffice but couldn't
find it :(
Regards from
Tom :)

OK. The file is not compressed, but how do I find the xml stuff. There is a fair amount of plain
text separated by many \00 and other things in red.
Tutorial anyone?
Paul

Thanks for the hints, but I have already done all those things. The default Archive Manager in
Ubuntu 12.04 is fileroller, and from the error messages generated, it seems to use gzip for the
compress/uncompress. I'm beginning to think that the file may not be compressed. Next is to try
gedit directly.
Thanks again, but if I don't make some progress LO will get replaced with OO.
Paul

Any clues on how to solve this problem?

What is the error message? Also, can you post the file on Nabble so
someone can try to find the problem.
A possible work around is to unzip the ods file to recover the xml data
file and then open that in LO. I forget what the default Ubuntu archive
utility is.
Neither gunzip nor fileroller/Archive Manager work. gunzip says
gunzip STOCKS.ods
gzip: STOCKS.ods: unknown suffix -- ignored
Archive Manger says
Could not open "STOCKS.ods"
Archive type not supported.
I tried changing the name to temp.zip; same thing.

The name is Archive Manager, and the file name is fileroller.

To change the name of the file, right click STOCKS.ods. Click
Rename from the popup menu. Use the End key to move the cursor to the
end of STOCKS.ods. Use the back arrow to remove "ods". Enter zip in its
place. You should not see STOCKS.zip. If you do, type Enter. Now apply
gzip to it.
