See if this will help.
I have OOo 2.3.0 running on Ubuntu 7.04.
Here is a method for all Debian based distros :
1. Remove all the packages from the installed Ubuntu version .
Go to Synaptic or your package manager and mark all the openoffice.org2
packages installed to be removed. This is mandatory for your first upgrade
of the distro delivered OOo version, no need to to that for the next
upgrades.
For Ubuntu, the system will also remove the ubuntu-desktop package. No
worry, this is a meta package that can be removed safely. But in case you
want to upgrade your whole distro, you'll have to install back this
package (and the OOo original version).
2. Download the tarball (.tar.gz file) containing the .deb files from the
official OOo web site See here :
http://download.openoffice.org/index.html.
3. Extract the tarball in a directory
Open a terminal and :
Code:
tar -vxzf OOo_2.3.0rc3_20070910_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz
You should see a new folder OOG680_m5_native_packed-1_en-US.9221. (Newer
versions will be numbered differently as they are made available.)
Go to the DEBS subfolder
Code:
cd OOG680_m5_native_packed-1_en-US.9221/DEBS
4. Install the .debs
Code:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
5. Update the Gnome menu
To be adapted according to your desktop manager, see the content of the
desktop-integration subfolder.
Code:
cd desktop-integration
sudo dpkg -i openoffice.org-debian-menus_2.#.#-#_all.deb
Here you are, menus should have been updated.
