WPS Office not working

Wed Jun 28, 2017 12:27 pm
Just installed WPS, my go to office suite. Installation went fine, but the application won't open.
When I click the icon in the menu, the disclaimer comes up which I accept, but that's it.
This works fine on all the 'buntus.
Any ideas?

And which distro might you be having? Also, how did you install it?

Try opening it from the command line. That should give some more feedback.

The same here. After last update WPS doens't open. It throws this error:
/usr/bin/et: line 38: 12619 Segmentation fault ${gInstallPath}/office6/${gApp} ${gOptExt} ${gOpt} "$@"

EDIT: running Neon User Edition up to date.

Using Neon user edition 5.10.3, Fully upto date.
Getting the same error as the previous poster from command line.
I installed using qapt, although I had to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" afterward, to fully install it.

Hm, a seg fault is never nice. Quite clearly that office suite is not built with Neon in mind and I very much doubt you'll ever get it running. Time to ask their developers for advice as they know all about it.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.

I've tried renaming the
Code: Select all
~/.config/Kingsoft/Office.conf
file, and it kinda wanted to work. I got the License agreement window and then segmentation fault again. I'm thinking on a depencies version problem.

I recall I installed WPS on Neon way back (the .deb with Qapt). Also recall WPS crashing on first launch. After the initial crash it worked pretty well (the templates wouldn't load at all but I don't care about those anyways). At any rate, for whatever reason, Plasma and WPS don't seem to favor each other. I'd like it open-sourced and free for GNU/Linux. Not sure it will ever happen but I'm confident.

Edit: Same result on Kubuntu 16.04.3 with back-ported plasma version 5.8.7.

@projetolinuxkdu

Muito obrigado! :)

As WPS is proprietary and closed-source, do you happen to know whether it sends anything to mothership (as in spyware?) I haven't sniffed the traffic yet but I will. I hate to admit it but it's better-looking, snappier and more compatible with those darn patented Mikerosoft formats than LibreOffice and it's got night mode. What's your plasma version, If I may?

Again, I like WPS a lot but It makes me feel uneasy because I still don't know whether it's mining any data or not.

I'm sure Richard M. Stallman wouldn't agree to what I've just done and I still cannot assess the risk/benefit ratio but I've done it.

1.
Code: Select all
sudo apt install qt4-qtconfig

2. Selected GTK+ in Qt Conifiguration GUI and saved

3.
Code: Select all
mkdir wps-tmp

4.
Code: Select all
cd wps-tmp

5.
Code: Select all
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb

6.
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb

7.
Code: Select all
wget http://kdl1.cache.wps.com/ksodl/download/linux/a21//wps-office_10.1.0.5707~a21_amd64.deb -O wps-office.deb

8.
Code: Select all
wget http://kdl.cc.ksosoft.com/wps-community/download/fonts/wps-office-fonts_1.0_all.deb -O fonts.deb

9.
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

10.
Code: Select all
cd ; rm -fr wps-tmp


WPS now works flawlessly on my system. Haven't encountered any issues whatsoever and it launches blazingly fast. No sign of any templates which is cool. No adds whatsoever.

Perhaps it's worth mentioning I'm on Neon LTS edition.

Perhaps it's worth mentioning that Baloo File Indexing Daemon has thrown a message:

Don't know if that has any minor or major significance and I haven't yet tried to achieve reproducibility. But WPS as such works wonderfully on Plasma (I'll check if it also works on 5.10.5 and above as my current one is obviously 5.8.7. I'll keep an eye on it.

Note to myself: dude, if you wanna get rid of it use:
Code: Select all
sudo apt remove --purge wps-*
and
Code: Select all
sudo rm -fr /opt/kingsoft



@waynes So? What's your take on it. Seems to work just fine, hmm? ;)

Edit: I have the tendency to get excited and post before proper assessment of the software. Corrections downstream.

Hi raddison.
Excellent clear instructions. Seems to work fine on Neon LTS. I will use it over the next few days & report back if I hit any issues.
Thanks.

Opla! I think instead of this

5.
Code: Select all
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb


you can choose from here https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd6 ... 0/download Seems I've installed from Debian instead of Ubuntu :D

BUT I'd rather apt install the package. What's its exact name though? ??? Don't know. Help wanted. Read upstream (+link), otherwise you won't get it. Definitely like Linux.

The libpng package in the official repos is more recent, "libpng12-0" which is version 1.2.54 instead of 1.2.50.
I have installed it without it seeming to have any adverse effects.
@raddison.. So maybe steps Nos 5 & 6, simply want changing to:
Code: Select all
sudo apt install libpng12-0

Agreed. Apt for qt4-qtconfig and libpng12-0 and dpkg for the rest.
