Re: [users] Linux OOo 3.1.1 DEB install problem
Web Kracked wrote: I was trying to install the latest DEB version of OOo, but keep getting errors. Hi Web, Firts: for my desktop of Ubuntu 9.10. Ubuntu 9.10 has OpenOffice 3.1 installed as default, it's likely that you are using some other version. The best way to add more recent versions of OpenOffice to your Ubuntu install is using something called PPA. PPAs are software sources that provide newer versions of some programs that the ones officially supported. They will integrate completely in Ubuntu and will be updated with the rest of the system. There are usually more than one PPA per program, some provide the lastest released versions, other can provide you with betas or even night-builds (the version where the developers are working, usually quite buggy). Anyway, check this: https://launchpad.net/~openoffice-pkgs/+archive/ppa This will provide you the latest released version of OpenOffice only one or two weeks after release. It will only work with Ubuntu 9.04, if you are using some other version, please tell us. One more thing: I need some Gnome stuff for now and if I can find the stuff in KDE You can run Gnome programs in KDE and KDE stuff in gnome just right. They will look somewhat different but they will run just fine. Hope that it helps, Javier. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

I cannot get it to authorize, but it still will download the updates from ppa.launchpad.net/main (or universe) If you have any other archive sites for the Synaptic Package Manager for Ubuntu 9.10/Jaunty let me know. That is for other software packages that may be of use.

Keep in mind that it's going to be released tomorrow, if you are running it now, it must be an RC or a beta. You can check your Ubuntu version on System-About Ubuntu or in the console typing: $cat /etc/lsb-release If you really have 9.10 and openoffice 3.0.1 then something is wrong with your package configuration.

Javier. Well, OOo kept on telling me 3.0.1 till I updated it via the other source for the PPA. Will look into it later. When did you download version 9.10? I have had mine for a few months now and it came with 3.0.1, since 3.1.1 did not come out before I installed Ubuntu 9.10 Thanks for the help. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Javier. Well we are both wrong. Ubuntu 9.10 is not even out yet. One day to go??? I thought I had 9.10, but I did not. It is 9.04, but I will get 9.10 as soon as it comes out. Then there is the process of updating 9.04 to 9.10. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

If you are new with Linux, it'll be wise to wait one or two months until the glitches that have slipped the Beta phase are resolved. There are going to be a couple of problems for sure. It's quite like waiting for the SP1 in a windows OS but faster. BTW the Beta has been quite nice for me, but for a minor solved problem with old ATI boards.

Hi, See http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16t=68 Better not use that script. Use your package manager instead.
