Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

Optified packages rebuilt from Diablo - quick hack but works for me...

apt-get install libart-2.0-2 libpcre3
Download and install as root:
libgoffice-0-6-common_0.6.3-2_all.deb http://gudmundson.se/anders_gud/inde...download&id=39
libgoffice-0-6_0.6.3-2_armel.deb http://gudmundson.se/anders_gud/inde...download&id=40
gnumeric_1.8.3-5maemo1_armel.deb http://gudmundson.se/anders_gud/inde...download&id=42

You don't need to install libgsf-1 if you installed Evince before that.

You will also need apt-get install libart-2.0-2

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

had to install
- libart-2.0-2
- libpcre3
first (with apt-get)

libgsf seems newer if installed with apt-get as well. installed provided libgsf from the link, and then i was offered an upgrade on apt-get update / apt-get upgrade

anders_gud, thanks a lot for this. It works fine if you use the stylus.

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

BTW, comparing the performance of Gnumeric with the KOffice alpha viewer for complex documents, Gnumeric wins by a lot.

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

anders_gud, thanks a lot for this

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

Thanks a lot. Been hoping someone would do this.

Installed: libgsf-1, libpcre3 (with extras-devel enabled) with apt-get after running dpkg.

Works great.

gnumeric newbie:
is multiple tabbed sheet supported? i open a 3 tabbed sheets file and i don't know how to navigate to the other sheets. thanks.

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

It is possible to edit a Gnumeric file on the Diablo version for N810 so that a "Manage Sheets" is at the botton. I would think you could do the same for N900 version. See post #17 of this link:

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

sweet and thanks :)

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

Got the same problem, can't get out of fullscreen mode without exiting the application. The shortcut key for that function on the desktop is F11, I am unsure how to do this on the mobile.

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

Thanks a lot.

For Beginners (like me):
Download packages, open X terminal (or SSH) and go to directory with downloaded packages (in this case /media/mmc1/install - directory install on storage card). Then install packages.

Packages:

http://gudmundson.se/anders_gud/inde...download&id=40
http://gudmundson.se/anders_gud/inde...download&id=42

Example:

Tips:
If you haven't root access yet (sudo gainroot throws "enable RD mode if you want break your device"), You have to install rootsh package from Package Manager.

If you don't know where you downloaded packages, you can find it by commands or install Midnight Commander (Like Norton Commander) and then run it.

Solution 1: Use filesystem commands
cd - change directory
ls - list of files and directories
pwd - describes actual directory
find - search files or directories
Solution 2: Installation of Midnight Commander

Two of the tree files hosted on gudmundson.se are the exact same file (gnumeric_1.8.3-5maemo1_armel.deb). Could someone post a link to the third file?

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

thanks a lot for this!

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

brilliant and thanks a bunch. this is by far the best spreadsheet app for n900

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

Thanks for this, imo the lack of a spreadsheet was one of the most annoying thing about this phone.
The only thing that makes this a little disappointing is that when you press enter you would expect to be able to edit that box without touching the formula box.
Unless I have got some settings wrong, it would be great if anyone has any idea how to fix this.

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

Gnumeric and also OpenOffice Calc already existed on the N900 thanks to Easy Debian, see http://wiki.maemo.org/Easy_Debian and this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=34550.

If anyone here is interested in trying out that alternative, here some quick instructions:
While OpenOffice is already preinstalled in the Debian image provided by Easy Debian, gnumeric needs still to be installed, which is however very easy (nomen est omen). In the "Debian chroot" terminal just enter
Gnumerics can then be started from XTerminal by "debbie gnumeric", and if the "Set Deb HW Keys" app has been run, the function keys F1-F12 are available as Shift-Fn-(Upper Row). Full screen can also be toggled by Ctrl+Space.

I'd be curious to hear about how the Debian version compares with the Maemo one.

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

Every time I try installing libpcre3 (using apt-get) I get this:

How else should I be trying to get this package?

Edit: Never mind, I just needed to add the fremantle/tools repository

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

Can you add mime support to this app?
It will be nice for opening attached files from emails

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

yess! finally it seems to work. First I did what anders_gud says but I got just an unuseful desktop icon. Then what you say but x-term asked me try this:
apt-get -f install (without pakage name)
I did not understand cause I m a newbye but now I can finally start to do tons of spreadsheet! thanks maemo community. see you.

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

I was having trouble installing as well and then I tried this and it worked as well! what the heck is this magical command?

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

I had som problems getting this to work.
I just flashed my device to ensure nothing else was making troubles.

I started with installing
libart-2.0-2
libpcre3
With no problems

Then ran:
dpkg -i libgoffice-0-6-common_0.6.3-2_all.deb
dpkg -i libgoffice-0-6_0.6.3-2_armel.deb
I ran into depenency problems with this, so I hade to run:
apt-get install libgsf-1
Then run the last:
dpkg -i gnumeric_1.8.3-5maemo1_armel.deb

But Now it seems to work. atleast the program start up!

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

I have now tested this app and it seem to work just fine.
One thing that bugs me is that if I browse to a file in the filemanager I get a question which program to open the file with. If I choose gnumeric the application starts, but with a new blank workbook.

I have tried to edit /etc/gnome/defaults.list to open xls and xlsx files with gnumeric as default, but that did nothing ( still get the question which program to open with, and still blank workbook)

Most of all I would like to beable to put a *.xlsx file on one of the desktop, and when clicked gnumeric would fire up and open the workbook.

what to do?

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

Hiya,

I've not really installed much from x-term, and I think some of these dependancies are in devel? I'm not installing from devel yet.

Could someone package this so it can go into the normal repositories?

Thanks!

Nicola

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

Anyone able to do this?

Cheers.

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

When putting data into a cell and then want to move to next cell i hit enter, but to be able to type in the cell I have to tap the input field.
Is there some way to change this behavior? I would like to be able to type in the cell as soon its marked without tapping the input field

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

need help. everytime i open gnumeric, it loads standard toolbar and object toolbar by default. It kills the whole space. I want so when gnumeric starts, it doesnt load any toolbars. how can i achieve this?

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

HI
Anybody know how to do a search or find command?
When I do FIND from the menu or CTRL-F I get this error message:
http://media.share.ovi.com/m1/s/2154...47db586719.jpg

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

This happens to me too. To make matters worse, Object Toolbar is not "checked" so you need to set it before you can remove it.

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

I'm just testing it and can't format cells. I suppose it's normal giving development status but I think it's a critical fix for a spreadsheet.

Re: Gnumeric on Fremantle for the impatient (spreadsheet app)...
 

I'll upload to extras-devel a new verson of libgoffice-0-8 which should fix that ugly bug.
Actually I'm porting a newer version of gnumeric, with some nice features like in-cell edition ;)
