open access database in libreoffice base

So far I'm OK, because I can work in 'mysql>', or directly on tables in base (and then crashes-recovers), but what is the problem, what did I do or not do wrong? Interestingly, if I open ~/.openoffice/4/user/database/biblio.odb (the file that came with the installation) everything works, no crash.Īttached are screenshots that should help understanding what I just described.Īs I said, I was able to work remotely from a gentoo, non-distro openoffice installation with odb files on the old HP having LibreOffice odb file, but now cannot use those odb files copied over from the failed old HP with my Linux Mint non-distro openoffice installation. (2) Even if I just open a table and close the whole thing OO crashes, then recovers. (1) I can only open tables, cannot open forms (crashes) OpenOffice base - I can connect using the downloaded mysql jar connector, I can open my odb file, but

However, and here comes my request for help: and the 'mysql>' part of it works, I can work on my databases copied over from my old HP. Yes, I installed the mysql server, duplicated settings, privileges from my old HP laptop.

Now on my new HP laptop (Linux Mint) I did install Apache OpenOffice, and everything works except the base module. I have successfully installed that on my Gentoo desktop machine, and was able to access and work on my odb files residing on the old HP laptop (mounted with sshfs). Mint also uses LibreOffice, but I decided to replace it with Apache Open Office. The hard drive on my HP laptop is failing (xuubuntu, LibreOffice), so I bought a new HP laptop, but installed Linux Mint (a simpler ubuntu variant).
