Re: OpenOffice

It has been working fine on all other versions, Fiesty, etc but not on Heron so far, try to download it and adept says it is broken

Re: OpenOffice

Which version are you trying to install? It should be there by default. You should have openoffice.org-kde installed.

Try using synaptic instead of the not so "adept" adept. Or do:

sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-kde

in a terminal.

Mine is working fine on hardy.

Re: OpenOffice

I have a amd64 and it says that openoffice-common is broken and I tried to use apt-get and it still says openoffice.org-common is broken

Re: OpenOffice

Ah, the 64bit version.....sorry I can't help there. still stuck on a prehistoric 32bit. sorry

Maybe if you changed the tilte to "openoffice on 64 bit" or something similar the many 64 bitters out there could give you some more useful advice
