Installation issues

kunago opened this issue 3 years ago · 10 comments

I am failing to install unogenerator so could someone with a working version help me out please?

Let's say I want to dockerize it:

FROM python:3-alpine
RUN apk update &&\
    apk add libreoffice
RUN pip3 install uno unogenerator

I have to install both, uno and base because without it unogenerator complains. As I assumed all requirements were satisfied, I run the demo python script from the doc with this content:

from unogenerator import ODT_Standard
doc=ODT_Standard()
doc.addParagraph("Hello World", "Heading 1")
doc.addParagraph("Easy, isn't it","Standard")
doc.save("hello_world.odt")
doc.export_docx("hello_world.docx")
doc.export_pdf("hello_world.pdf")
doc.close()

This is however the error I get once I run it:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/srv/lo/test.py", line 1, in <module>
    import uno
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/uno/__init__.py", line 4, in <module>
    from base import Element, Css, Payload, UnoBaseFeature, UnoBaseField
ImportError: cannot import name 'Element' from 'base' (/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/base/__init__.py)

Is there any other requirement I am missing?

As I found out, I misunderstood what needs to be installed. The uno module shall not be installed via pip but rather with python-uno package. This is a note in pyoo project which seems to be the answer for this issue as well:

The only dependency is the Python-UNO library (imported as a module uno). Unfortunately Python-UNO cannot be installed using pip. Do NOT install package named uno available on PyPI - it’s not related to LibreOffice.

Although I did install the module python3-uno (Debian-based image), I still the error concerning uno module. This time it is simply missing:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/srv/test.py", line 1, in <module>
    from unogenerator import ODT_Standard
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/unogenerator/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
    from .unogenerator import ODT, ODS, ODT_Standard, ODS_Standard
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/unogenerator/unogenerator.py", line 6, in <module>
    from uno import getComponentContext, createUnoStruct, systemPathToFileUrl, Any, ByteSequence
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'uno'

Hi Kunago.

Only Linux is supported.

Python uno module is installed with Libreoffice installation (it's not an external module), at least in Gentoo

I've written a new installation file INSTALL.md to try to help you and others to install Unogenerator

Debian should be similar to Kubuntu

I've executed this command in kubuntu (live cd), after unogenerator installation, to see wich uno packages are installed:
apt list| grep -i uno

Check unogenerator 0.22.0 is installed, due to in 0.21.0 pytz pip dependency was missing

Answer 4 · 2022-03-11T08:16:21.000Z

Even when I try to install libreoffice-writer or libreoffice-calc, I don't see anywhere the packages starting with libuno and those are missing and apparently required even for the python import to work fine.

The command

apt list | grep libuno

returns nothing. That is weird.

EDIT:

I found out the packages are missing from Debian because they are only in the backports. To contribute, I will create a Dockerfile that fully installs unogeneratator on Debian and you can add it to your repo if you want.

EDIT:

I had partial success; I am able to run unogenerator_start command and it seems to pass.

Preparing 8 libreoffice server instances from port 2002:
  - Launched instance in port 2002
  - Launched instance in port 2003
  - Launched instance in port 2004
  - Launched instance in port 2005
  - Launched instance in port 2006
  - Launched instance in port 2007
  - Launched instance in port 2008
  - Launched instance in port 2009

Then when trying to generate the demo, these two errors pop up multiple times:

Unsupported URL <file:///usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/unogenerator/templates/standard.odt>: "type detection failed"
Changing port 2002 to 2003 0 times
Unsupported URL <file:///usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/unogenerator/templates/standard.odt>: "type detection failed"
Changing port 2003 to 2004 1 times
...

and

This process died

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

It seems that uno problem has been fixed. But unogenerator_demo script seems it can't detect instances to build documents.

Try to run ps aux to see process you should see lots of lines (depends on the number of instances) with sometthing like this

root     22653  0.0  0.0  11292  3680 pts/1    S    12:05   0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/loffice --accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager -env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/unogenerator2002 --headless

Check If loffice program is in your PATH and with that name

Try to run unogenerator_stop and then unogenerator_start. Then rerun unogenerator_demo --create

If the problem hasn't been fixed yet, and you have loffice process running, Try this:

I use python3.9, but I think that python3.7 should be compatible. I think problem are little differences between distributions, perhaps paths of template "Standard.odt"

In my distro templates are in this path

/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/unogenerator/templates/standard.ods
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/unogenerator/templates/standard.odt

Try this code that doesn't need standard template (ODT instead of ODT_Standard)

from unogenerator import ODT
doc=ODT()
doc.addParagraph("Hello World", "Heading 1")
doc.addParagraph("Easy, isn't it","Standard")
doc.save("hello_world.odt")
doc.export_docx("hello_world.docx")
doc.export_pdf("hello_world.pdf")
doc.close()

So I am stuck again. I wonder what I am missing here.

Answer 7 · 2022-03-13T05:34:57.000Z

Hi again

I've downloaded debian-live-11.2.0-amd64-kde.iso. Run from a usb pendrive and opened Konsole

sudo su -

apt update

apt install python3-pip

pip install unogenerator

unogenerator_start (It throws me some errors that java-vm is missing, but java-vm is not needed for UnoGenerator so I ignore them)

unogenerator_demo --create

ls -la

and files were correctly generated

I don't know where you have the problem. I don't know if you are trying to make a container of this service, but I think this is not a UnoGenerator code bug

Answer 8 · 2022-03-13T07:48:22.000Z

Have you tried a headless system? I noticed you prefer a system with GUI, where some additional python libraries could be installed.

I will try with a pure Debian on a VM (not in a container) and let you know the result.

Answer 9 · 2022-03-13T08:34:57.000Z

Unogenerator needs Libreoffice (UI App) but is launched with --headless parameter. UnoGenerator runs too, in console only mode, without GUI.

Answer 10 · 2022-03-13T12:04:06.000Z

I tried with a local machine, yet it had the same issue. So I started from the scratch with a Debian container and it turned out that it's not only pip that needs to be installed, or core of libreoffice, one needs to install python3-uno, libreoffice-writer and libreoffice-calc as well, otherwise you will see the "Unsupported URL" error.

I could have thought of that. Anyways, this is the working Dockerfile that does the job:

FROM debian:bullseye

RUN apt-get update &&\
    apt-get -y upgrade &&\
    apt-get -y install python3-pip python3-uno &&\
    apt-get -y install libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc &&\
    apt-get -y install openjdk-11-jre

RUN pip3 install --upgrade unogenerator

RUN unogenerator_start

ENTRYPOINT tail -f /dev/null

Although it seems to be obvious now, maybe it is worth adding to your INSTALL setup, this or any modified version you like.
