check for an update failed
I can no longer search using LO’s built in ‘check for update’. When I select the option to check for an update it reports that the “check for an update failed”. It had worked till about mid December and stopped working about the end of the year. I noticed it not working about the end of the year when I was using LO’s prior version. I stopped my AV’s firewall, but that did not help. On Jan. 10 I installed the newest version and still have the same problem. I then did an un-install re-install with Revo Uninstaller Pro and that did not fix the problem.
I am using LibreOffice ver. 5.0.4.2/32. My computer is Windows 7/64 with all the current updates, I am using Webroot AV (it had not been a problem before, but I did stop its firewall). I can not think of anything that I have done or what is different on the computer since I noticed the problem.
EDIT: As now indicated in the bug report it seems this is an intermittant issue due to (in this case) a website problem. The desire of the Design team is to improve the dialogue to more clearly indicate update process and status (success/fail) at each step. Thanks tacua and gA57F for helping clarify this.
I don’t think so.
As tacua wrote (and I confirm the same) =
“It had worked till about mid December and stopped working about the end of the year.”
Updater checked few minutes ago, it works.
No more “check for an update failed”
It is surprising to me that I was the first person to start a thread. I searched and could not find any mention of the problem in the forum or Google. That’s when I tried the un-install re-install, which did not help. Thanks again oweng for pointing the problem out to me and that I was not the only one.
