I need the ability to make signed PDFs in LibreOffice, so I tried LO 5 and LO 4.4 rpms from LO.org but they are useless (menu and toolbar are black). Anyone been able to use a higher version of LO?
Thanks

This won't help you much on Centos 6, but I use Libreoffice 5.0.3.2 on Centos 7 and it works fine. I just checked and the "Digital Signatures" tab exists and appears to be active on the PDF Export menu option, though I've not actually tried to use it myself.
Does Libreoffice 5 not work on Centos 6? I've never tried that, either.

Signing pdf's works on Centos7, LO4.2, tested with Belgian eid card. Never tried on Centos6.

Do you guys work in gnome or KDE? (because I was wondering if this thing might be a KDE problem on C6)
Johan, does LO 4.2 on C7 has a "digital signatures" tab in "export to pdf"? I don't see it in 4.2.8.2-11.el6
Thanks Patrick

Patrick,
I work with Mate. There is no digital signatures tab in "export to pdf". (I'm now in LO4.3) But in LO it's in "File" somewhere underneath " export to pdf"
greetings, Johan

Yes, I easily installed libreoffice-5.x on my CentOS-6x box. I think all I did was download the tarball, go in the rpm directory and run rpm -ivh *rpm. This seems useful.

That's what I did :-) Only I used yum, but that wouldn't make a difference, would it?
I don't think this list accepts screenshots, so I'll try to describe. The menu is a black rectangle, if you click somewhere you see the dropdown which is black with 1 or 2 menu-items in white. Toolbar is black with some buttons visible (some of them disappearing when moused-over). Dialog boxes have black buttons etc. All in all rather difficult to use.
Do you run gnome? Maybe then this is a KDE thing.

Maybe it's a desktop theme issue, did you try another one? IIRC there's a settings in LO to follow the desktop theme or not (or something approaching), that's something to check too.

Changing the theme didn't help; neither was deselecting hardware acceleration and other option (btw I couldn't see the checkboxes, they looked like random graphic bits from another screen)
The last time the background of the menubar and the toolbars was (a copy of) the ruler... Definitely random graphic hicups.
I'll go for C7 if one day I'll have some time left :-s
Thanks for helping.

I use dwm or openbox, both of which are window managers rather than desktop environments. Hrrm, that might be worth a shot, install one of the lightweight window managers and see if that helps. If not, maybe even try with a new test user.

I had no problem at all installing and using v4 and v5 of LibreOffice in my CentOS6 (up-to-date). I used the official installers from LO website (unpacked their archive, extracted all .rpm files into a directory, then `yum install *.rpm`).
