You've probably sorted everything out by now, but if not, maybe this will help.įrom the looks of the Strace.log its sending the file in 8bit pieces through the socket.and its incredibly slow. While I have attached the entire guide (still a work in progress) take a look at Section 3, starting on page 14. In my original 1.7 install, I had to use a start-up script and make the changes documented in the installation guide. I installed into /opt/local/ as opposed to /var/lib/ as done by the apt-get installer.ģ) In 1.8, openvpms-reports.xml now includes options for starting OpenOffice on boot.

I started to update it for 1.8 (but it is not complete) as I had to do a few things differently for 1.8.ġ) I installed Java 8 in anticipation of the 1.9 requirementĢ) I manually installed the latest Tomcat7 as the Ubuntu repositories did not have the version stated in the OVPMS install notes to be required for Java 8. I have attached my draft installation guide for OVPMS 1.7 on a Ubuntu 14.04 server. Very sorry for not getting back to you sooner but for some reason new posts have stopped coming to my mailbox so I tend to miss them. Let me know if I can be of any assistance. I suspect that may have been the source of my 3-minute print problem. Also, if you're interested, I could provide a VirtualBox appliance that you could install that has the server, OO, OpenVPMS, and a staff training version of OpenVPMS already running.Īs for the printers, I had no problems at all once I worked out my networking issues (wireless printer). I have put together a rather detailed step-by-step guide (not quite ready for prime-time) but one that you might find useful nonetheless. If you are interested in pursuing the Linux installation, I can heartily recommend it. It doesn't have to do much, and so if it is not upgraded as often as LO would be from the repositories, I'm not really concerned. And as you can still use LO on any of the other network computers, I didn't see that using OO on the server as any big loss. kindly provided, that prevents OpenVPMS from trying to start OO on its own. I took the approach of starting OO at boot from my own script, and have a modified version of openvpms-reports.xml that Tim A. I'm sure that these issues are resolvable, but with OO, everything just seemed to work. One issue was that LO was taking up to three minutes to print a document (and I'm not sure that this wasn't a printer issue) but the other was that LO was pegging the CPU at nearly 100%. I did wind up ultimately using OpenOffice rather than LibreOffice, however, as I was having trouble getting around a couple of issues. Matplotlib will now install cleanly in your venv: $ pip install -e matplotlib-1.4.I have just recently implemented OpenVPMS 1.7 on a headless Ubuntu 14.04 server. Now edit setup.cfg near line 68 to read: qt4agg = True

Next, download matplotlib source tarball and modify the setup configuration to force it to install Qt4 backend: $ tar xzf matplotlib-1.4.2.tar.gz Now manually download and install SIP ( ) with your venv activated, as follows: $ tar xzf sip-4.16.4.tar.gz $ ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyQt4 /path/to/myvenv/lib/python2.7/PyQt4 So here's the step-by-step process.įirst install the pre-reqs and hack PyQt4 into your virtualenv: $ sudo apt-get install xauth x11-apps python-qt4 I finally had luck using the Qt4 backend, which I was only able to install via the Ubuntu package and then had to symlink it into my virtualenv. I got it working on Ubuntu 14.04.1 Server, but it was painful! The tricky part is definitely virtualenv.
