Well, I downloaded OpenOffice.org 3.2 RC1 from the
http://www.openoffice.org/ site, unpacked and installed from a
terminal with ”dpkg -i *.deb” in the DEBS folder and then the same
thing in the ”desktop-integration” folder.
Well every time I use the dpkg -i command, the scrolling messages all seem
to be "skipped . . . . ", i.e. it skipped all of the .deb packages. Of
course, some times
with the .sh file "install", the shell program created a folder with the
files in it and
I cannot edit any .xml files or delete the files or folders. I keep
getting the error that
I am not the owner of the files or the folder and do not have the
permission to
to do the commands I typed in [or through the GUI folder viewing package]
Well, with Linux I will wait for a while hoping for 3.2 to come to one
of my repositories.
For Windows, I install it in a _beta folder instead of the default
Programs Folder.
This way I can try 3.2.x without messing with 3.1.1. Also this way I can
compare the two
"side-by-side" with the same documents.
It would be nice, though, if there is no need to go beyond RC2 before
the "official
release" come out. It would be great for it to be out by the end of the
month, or
early February. Then when Ubuntu comes out with its new update and
repository,
OOo 3.2 will be in it.
Today Ubuntu finally went from 2.6.31-16-generic to version -17 for the
32-bit Ubuntu
and from -14 to -16 for the 64-bit version. As said before in other
threads, it takes a
few months for Ubuntu to add the newest version of OOo to their
repositories.
I will try again, when 3.2 non-RC is out, the dpkg -i *.deb command on
both of my
Ubuntu systems. I try to make sure the "same version" is installed on
the Win Vista
laptop, the Ubuntu 64-bit laptop, and the Ubuntu 32-bit desktop server.
No more
having one with 3.0.x, and another with 3.1.0 and the last one 3.1.1.
All are not running
3.1.1 and will be running 3.2 when it comes out.
THANKS for reminding me what the command is for installing the multiple
.deb files
that are extracted from the install file. I will write it down again.
