Re: [newbie] StarOffice as user
Question: what if you got the Staroffice5.2 rpm off of the App CD from the nasty walmart version of mandrake 7.2? I have installed mandrake 7.2 from downloaded ISOs, after finding out how "incomplete" the "complete" version was, and then, I wanted the Staroffice5.2 and knew it was on the App CD, so I did kpackage as "root" and found it on the walmart App CD and installed it. Will it be ok? or will I have to reinstall it with the /net command or such? Let me know cause I already installed it with kpackage.

I'm using the SO 5.2 version from the 7.1 CD number three with my 7.2 that I got from Cheapbytes and it's fine. Course, I only installed last Sunday, so something could show up, but I kinda doubt that it will, now.
RE: [newbie] StarOffice as user
Hey, was wondering if anyone could help me with starting StarOffice as a user rather than root. Starting simple I recently reinstalled Mandrake 7.0 onto my hard drive. As root I installed StarOffice in /usr/local/office52 and it works just fine. When I try and use StarOffice as another user, however, I am unable. I tried to "repair installation" and I got the error, "An error occurred while unpacking the file soffice.new. There is probably not enough disk space" (which can't be right.) I figured the problem is with user permissions and so I tried changing the user permissions on a few folders and now when I click on staroffice the hard drive spins for awhile and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Should I have installed StarOffice in /opt instead as someone had advised me? My mistake is probably pretty obvious to an experienced user, but I'm flummoxed. Ideas? Thanks.

Re: [newbie] staroffice as user
No. I think you can chown the soffice binary to user and it will run as user. I know I had the same problem in the past and was able to solve it without a reinstall. Try that first. Don J.

It should be /home/user/Office51/bin/soffice, as I recall. Don J.

Re: [newbie] staroffice as user
Just type the following at a console prompt: /opt/Office51/bin/setup That will do the trick - also if your security is set to high/paranoid then the script has a tendency to futz and you have to set it to medium.

Dear David, I had the same problem. You have to install SO as ordinary user, and everything works fine.
