Bibus not working in 12.04

[Biomante]

Hi there

I upgraded to precise yesterday and now I can't make Bibus to work properly (it is kind of an emergency, this software is essential for my job). When I try to insert a reference I get the next message:

Cannot connect to Openoffice. See Documentation.
Cannot connect to Openoffice. See Documentation.
Connector : couldn't connect to pipe OOo_pipe(10))

I tried lowering the Macros security level in Libreoffice to Medium, and adding a macros trusted route (/usr/share/bibus), but it didn't work.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

No ideas? anyone?

I have the same problem. I was lucky enough to do a clean install of 12.04 on one of my laptops and that works fine. Even works better than when I used bibus on 11.04. for the other one, I cannot connect after I upgraded. I am guessing it is a problem with the upgrade. I may just have to scrap and do a clean install... unless someone has a solution

I have the same problem. I tried deinstaling bibus, but even with newly installed bibus it was the same.
Are we the only ones with this problem?!?

Rerun the first connection wizard. Reboot the system and then check wether bibus can talk to libreoffice.
For me, it works, but I am having trouble with the finalize function.

Vanadium, To fix the finalize problem, remove bibus or better yet dont use the one provided by the repository. I downloaded the one from sourceforge. when installed do:
sudo nano /usr/share/bibus/bibOOo/bibOOoBase.py

search for line 748 and change
"private:stream" to self.model.getLocation()

hope that helps

kouakou, thank you very much! I installed version 1.5.2 from soundforge, and "finalize" worked out of the box. I will keep your suggested patch indeed in case I would encounter issues later. I am working with Ubuntu 12.04.
