Public bug reported:
OS: Kubuntu 6.06
The openoffice version in the dapper repositories, 2.0.2 I think, crashes on
large powerpoint presentations (80+ slides). The presentation opens for a few
minutes and then closes with a kde program crash notification. The problem is
fixed with openoffice 2.0.4, as I have installed it and checked. This is
available in the edgy repositories.
The openoffice quickstarter in the dapper repositories, oooqs, does not
work for openoffice 2.0.4 (it has absolutely no effect on openoffice
2.0.4 startup time). The latest version, oooqs2 does. This makes office
work with openoffice far more manageable. Otherwise openoffice tends to
be too clunky in it's startup time. I have tried installing the edgy
version, but several libraries need to be backported for it to work
correctly.
I would greatly appreciate the backporting of this as it is an
application necessary to most of the work I do with this OS. Most of my
physics notes are large powerpoints that don't work with the existing
openoffice 2.0.2 in the repositories.
