I was having problems starting my LO so I decided to unistall and reinstall from the Ubuntu Store, I ended up with a snap version of LO…as above. In my previous version, I had my python scripts running very nicely…now, having transferred the python scripts to the new Python Directory in the new LO, I get the following error whenever I try to run a script!
Connector : couldn’t connect to socket (Connection refused) at /build/libreoffice/parts/libreoffice/build/io/source/connector/connector.cxx:118
I have tried asking Chat GPT 4 what I should do. It gave me this answer (amongst others):
If you’re running a script or a service that interacts with LibreOffice, make sure to start LibreOffice in server mode correctly, which is usually done with a command similar to:
sh
soffice --headless --accept="socket,host=127.0.0.1,port=8100;urp;"This command tells LibreOffice to run in headless mode (without a GUI) and accept connections on localhost (
127.0.0.1) on port8100. If you’re using a different port or host, you’ll need to adjust the command accordingly.
However that made no difference and I still get the same error. What have I done wrong…and what am I missing?
