Report Builder does not open

[Jon Lowag]

Binary package hint: libreoffice

I installed the current version of libreoffice-report-builder (1:1.2.1+LibO3.3.2-1ubuntu4). After the installation the item "Create Report in Design View..." appeared in the Report view of LibreOffice Base. But nothing happens when I click on this item.

Additionally the report wizard stopped working. When I click on "Use Wizard to Create Report..." it shows the error message "No valid template was found". I tried to remove libreoffice-report-builder to get the wizard working again and that worked fine.

I do not get an error message when trying to open the report wizard, nothing at all happens. Same with report builder.

Hi All,

I have the same 2 exact problems on a first time brand new LibreOffice Base install :

1. nothing happens when I click "create report in design view"
2. "no valid template was found" error windows pops up when trying to use the report wizard

I do not know what can be done (am a non tech end user, not sure what to make out of the dependencies listed above?) but having no access to any report is a problem for my use of OpenOffice Base.

Your help will be much appreciated !

Thanks for reading.

Its back in 1:3.5 after the upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 and don't seem to be able to find a way around it.

When I try and open an existing report, I get the error, librptlo.so is not installed. If I try to create a new report, nothing happens.

I also notice that filtering a database no longer works. May be related, but can live with that for now if I can get the reports working.

[Jenni Dixon (jennifer-dixon)]

I have the same problem in 3.4.5 with Ubuntu 12.04 (nothing happens when I click 'create report in design view'), but can open existing reports and the report wizard no problem.

[Jenni Dixon (jennifer-dixon)]

Oops, I lied - I forgot I hadn't upgraded at work, so I didn't have 12.04. I do now though, and have the same problem (no report in design view, and no report wizard). Existing reports open with the example field data filled in, instead of my query data.

Garry / Jenni Dixon, this bug report is considered closed as the problem in Oneiric was fixed. If you are having an issue with Precise, this will require a new bug report. Please execute the following via the Terminal and feel free to subscribe me to it:

Thanks!

I have a similar problem with libreoffice 4.1.0.4 on Ubuntu 12.04
When I click "Create report in design view" nothing happens.
For me, the report Wizard works.

[Jonathan Brian Francoeur (goedible)]

I also have a similar problem with Version: 4.4.1.2 on linux Mint 17.1
When I click "Create report in design view" nothing happens.
For me, the report Wizard works.

+1 - I get the same issue on my Ubuntu laptop and my son's.

[Val (vk1266)]

Same problem, LibreOffice 4.2.8.2, build ID: 420m0 (Build:2), Ubuntu 14.04. Clicking on "Create report in design view" produces nothing. The Report Wizard works, but produces only static reports. Dynamic reports appear to be broken.
