Hi there, totally off the records for this list, but maybe nevertheless interesting/amusing: Ubuntu 11.04 replaced OOo with LibreOffice (LO). Whatever they did, they probably did what they did with their OOo installation in the past with the effect that using the Java interface from the command line does not work (using their unoinfo-output for Java) ! Instead one needs to deinstall LO, remove ~/.libreoffice in home, get the official LO distribution and install it, then things start to work as was the case in the past with OOo. Unbelievable ! ---rony P.S.: Maybe the Ubuntu people do not realize their problem back with OOo and now with LO, when using Java from outside of OOo/LO. -- - To unsubscribe send email to dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help

Hi René, hi Michael, just managed to re-install the Ubuntu version of OOo. Out of the box the reported error occurs.

Re: [dev] OOo installation packages for Linux, a few (easy) questions
Hi Sigrid, thank you very much for your interesting and helpful answers! * the package (3.2.1) just has an update script, but not an install script which makes it very cumbersome to install the genuine OOo from all the individual packages in the DEB subdirectory (after having removed the Ubuntu version of OOo beforehand): where could one find/locate the appropriate install script? Isn't it just enough to go into the directory and use the command dpkg -i *.deb (or something similar, I've never had a Debian-based system). With rpm or urpmi you can just do this, and the installer figures out, what to install first. That easy ? ;) Again, thank you very much (and also Konstantin!). As I have never used dpkg directly I was not aware of that functionality at all. * does the genuine OOo install into /opt on Fedora or SuSE as well? I can tell you, that on Mandriva OOo installs itself into /opt, so I would expect a similar behaviour on Fedora and SuSE as well, since the rpm-packages are all the same. ;) Good to know!Maybe a last question: which Linux distributions are known to be 100% Regards, ---rony - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

I noticed that in the Java bindings when trying to install the ooRexx scripting framework (which extends from OOo's Java scirpting framework and which macros get dispatched via this Java infrastructure). Have one 64-bit Ubuntu untampered which I will take a closer look tomorrow evening, trying to come up with more (hopefully useful) pointers. about other distributions that at least used to cripple OOo by removing some if not all of the genuine Java support). used to is right, I think nowadays all ship it compiled with OpenJDK at least on mainstream architectures.

[dev] OOo installation packages for Linux, a few (easy) questions
Hi there, not sure whether this is the correct e-mail list. If not please advise, which one would be the appropriate one. An observation, two questions ad the OOo installateion packages on http://download.openoffice.org/index.html; when entered from a German, 32-bit Ubuntu system: * the package (3.2.1) just has an update script, but not an install script which makes it very cumbersome to install the genuine OOo from all the individual packages in the DEB subdirectory (after having removed the Ubuntu version of OOo beforehand): where could one find/locate the appropriate install script? * does the genuine OOo install into /opt on Fedora or SuSE as well? Maybe a last question: which Linux distributions are known to be 100% compatible in their Java interfaces to OOo with the genuine OOo ? TIA, ---rony

Hi Rony, 2010/8/16 Rony G. Flatscher rony.flatsc...@wu-wien.ac.at: Hi there, not sure whether this is the correct e-mail list. If not please advise, which one would be the appropriate one. I think the users list is the better place, but I'm not 100 % sure about this myself. ;) An observation, two questions ad the OOo installateion packages on http://download.openoffice.org/index.html; when entered from a German, 32-bit Ubuntu system: * the package (3.2.1) just has an update script, but not an install script which makes it very cumbersome to install the genuine OOo from all the individual packages in the DEB subdirectory (after having removed the Ubuntu version of OOo beforehand): where could one find/locate the appropriate install script? Isn't it just enough to go into the directory and use the command dpkg -i *.deb (or something similar, I've never had a Debian-based system). With rpm or urpmi you can just do this, and the installer figures out, what to install first. * does the genuine OOo install into /opt on Fedora or SuSE as well? I can tell you, that on Mandriva OOo installs itself into /opt, so I would expect a similar behaviour on Fedora and SuSE as well, since the rpm-packages are all the same. ;) Maybe a last question: which Linux distributions are known to be 100% compatible in their Java interfaces to OOo with the genuine OOo ?
