Description Petr Mladek 2013-06-03 15:53:13 UTC
It seems that the python stuff is broken in LibreOffice 4.1 on Windows.

I have tested 4.1.0.0.beta1 build and also the last daily build libreoffice-4-1~2013-06-02_18.17.35_LibreOfficeDev_4.1.0.0.beta1_Win_x86.msi. I see the following problems:


+  Wizards do not work:

    1. Try "File/Wizards/Letter"

    Result: nothing happens


+ mail merge test shows a python error message:

    1. Open any new text document in Writer
    2. Open the dialog "Tools/Options/LibreOffice Writer/Mail Merge E-mail"
    3. Press [Test Setting]

    Result: Error message:

--- cut ---
LibreOfficeDev could not connect to the outgoing mail server. Check your system's settings and the settings in LibreOfficeDev. Check the server name, the port and the secure connections settings
--
python-loader:<class 'ImportError'>: No module named '_socket', traceback follows
Could not load uno.py, no stacktrace available (Error loading uno.py: python object raised an unknown exception (ImportError("No module named '_socket'",), traceback follows
<traceback object at 0x09E0D918>))
--- cut ---

I do not see this problem on Linux.

I do not know if this is relevant but custom install does not offer python-uno bridge

Hello

With Version: 4.1.0.0.beta2
Build ID: 33224f4f11a05cfad2249e812fcc2975fbb61f6

These Wizards start
- Letter
- Fax
- Agenda

This Wizard *don't start*
- Web Page 

If you try to run this wizard, libreoffice not close directly

Steps to reproduce

1. File> Wizards> Web page

Expected result: the wizard starts
Actual result: the wizard don't start

2. File> Exit LibreOffice

Expected result: exit libreoffice
Actual result: libreoffice not closed

You have to redo file> Exit to close (or Ctrl+Q)

If you try to run x times the wizard, you need to do x+1 times "quit" to exit effectively.

Open a bug for that wizard, please. It is plainly a different problem from this one.
Comment 8 ribotb 2013-06-07 14:39:58 UTC
In beta2, Mail Merge E-mail test settings is OK.
And all the wizards start, but not Web page.
