alterity: I made the same mistake when I first tried to follow the documentation. The statement in the documentation "with the following lines" should actually leave off the final "s" because:
echo "deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com $(lsb_release -cs) main restricted universe multiverse" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list should actually be one long line: echo "deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com $(lsb_release -cs) main restricted universe multiverse" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list The same for the line that follows which is actually one single line of text. After that it should be smooth sailing. Let me know if you get hung up after that. If you do then we can go step-by-step through the process together. I will reiterate the final paragraph in my post above: If you can document the specific steps necessary to reproduce the problem then I am also happy to try confirming the bug on my system. I regularly use Firefox so if there is a particular OpenOffice application that I can leave open in the background that will cause this failure then update this bug report with the necessary information needed to reproduce this bug. -- open office crashes when switching with firefox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/498007 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
