Here I write about various events I was involved in and ideas that inspired me. Recently, it is more of a linux blog because I have been doing a lot of work on it. However, off and on I write on various other things that my mind just can't let go easily.

Office not working in Archlinux
After dropping of OpenOffice.org, Archlinux switched to LibreOffice from the Document foundation. As this was pushed through a regular update, I went on with it. However, after some time when I tried opening Office files, I was having trouble opening them at all.
I used to get stuck at this filter selection every time I opened a file. When I opened up LibreOffice, the various files options were grayed out.
I thought of checking the wiki for the procedure of installation. I reinstalled it using the following command:
pacman -S libreoffice-common libreoffice-{base,
calc,draw,impress,math,writer,kde4}
pacman -S libreoffice-extension-{pdfimport,presentation-minimizer,presenter-screen,report-builder,wiki-publisher,ct2n,hunart,numbertext,oooblogger,typo,watch-window,diagram}After that, I was able to get things working again. However, interestingly, each time I had upgraded my system after the switch to LibreOffice, using
pacman -SyuI had seen these packages were installed. Now there is only one issue, tooltips are just black rectangles.
