    Re: howto install openoffice3

    I've read somewhere that this issue has been resolved. Can anybody confirm so I can change the first post, please? I can't check 'cos I'm not on Kubuntu any more...

      My OOO 3 stuff continues to open with the blue OOO3 theme, and looks fine. It's still Build 9358, installed from the Sun downloaded .deb, as per your original post.

        Thanks, dibl. If my memory serves me well the problem only occurred if you used the repo version.

          I don't understand this bit
          Where did you get desktop integration from? In my folder there is only:

          DEBS licenses readmes update

          My whole installation on64bit system went OK, but how to add easily new Openoffice in place of old one?

          And one more question - Shouldn't old one be removed after/before installing new one ?

            Here is what I did to install OO3.
            I am not using Kubuntu any more but this is how I did it.

            Remove OO2
            sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-core

            Open the folder ware you untared 003 and cd into the deb folder, There is another folder in the deb folder that has the oo3 menu install.

            Install OO3 from deb
            sudo dpkg -i -R .

            Remove OO3
            sudo apt-get remove ooobasis3.0-* openoffice.org3* openoffice.org-debian-menus

            Install OO2.4
            sudo apt-get install openoffice.org

            ~/rm -rv .openoffic*

              Hi,

              there is no need to remove version 2 since version 3 will install into opt.

              Birkopf, so you installed everything okay but are now lacking the entry in Kmenu? If so, right click on Kmenu, chose menu editor and take it from there. For a more detailed answer we need a more detailed problem description

              BTW, the text you quoted is by sjhstorm so you may want to pm him/her rather than me

                yeah... mess everywhere :-)
                But I started with you so I want to stay faithful

                When I am going to KMenu Editor I have for example Word Processor. There is:

                Command: ooffice -writer %U
                Work Path: [empty]

                and few more things...

                What should I write and in which window to replace old one with new one ?

                PS - divide0 - thank you for answer !

                  So where do you go wrong with this:

                  5. Right click on your K menu button and select kmenueditor. Insert a new item under office, give it a nice openoffice icon and paste the following into the command line: /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin

                      You right click kmenu - menu editor - office - new item (on the toolbar) - and now you have an input mask asking you the name, description, comment and command. Under name you put OOo3 (or whatever you fancy), you click on the question mark to select an icon and paste /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin into Command.

                      Does that make sense?

                        Yes. Now it does. Before I was trying all the time replace Word, Spreadsheet, etc manually one-by-one. Now whole OO3 starts from one created link.

                        So what about that OO2 and installing in opt/ ?
                        Can you explain as well ? Shall I remove it? I don't like to keep unnecessary things on HDD.

                          Glad it worked

                          If I were you I'd keep OOo2 around for a while until you tested the new version properly. After that go into adept and remove 2.4 from there.

                            How to change file associations ? (Never done it under linux)
                            When I am clicking on file for example *.odt or *.ods it's opening still by default from Open Office 2.4

                              Successfully upgraded to OOo 3.0.1, Build 9379.

                              Upon opening OOo Calc today, it offered an upgrade -- I clicked the little green pile of lizard doo-doo. It downloaded a tarball to my /home/dibl/Desktop directory. I clicked "Install" and it immediately closed down OOo and went away.

                              Hmmmm.

                              So, I made a temporary directory /tmp/ooo, untarred and installed from there. Very similar to the original installation -- it made a directory and one of the subdirectories was named "DEBS" and in that one I did this:

                              Code:
                              sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i *.deb
                              Everything appears to have worked as intended, although the path to success was a little roundabout.

                                That's what you get for playing around with lizard poo.
