    (SOLVED) How to install Open Office 3.0

    I followed the instructions below but was stuck on the part where it tells you to create a link on your panel. How do you add it to K Menu or better still Lancelot?

          harecanada here. Just wanted to add that this solved my problem also but I had to ajust it a bit and not do the "add link to panel". The last thing I did was add this line : /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice in the terminal and OpenOffice started right up and works great.

          Thanks for the help.

            That howto is not applicable to KDE4!

            So, what is the TRUE/RIGHT method?

            It doesn't work. Trying the 'desktop-integration' method gives:

            'Package Installer' - openoffice.org-debian-menus

            Package: openoffice.org-debian-menus

            Status: Error: Conflicts with the installed package 'openoffice.org-core'

            Description:
            OpenOffice.org desktop integration


            So, this is 100 times harder than it needs to be since Ubuntu wants Kubuntu/KDE to fail or not be used.

              I uninstalled OpenOffice 2.4 core package and then restarted the desktop integration program. I know have OpenOffice 3.0. (There were some nice 'OpenOffice' colour storms of black/gold/other colours in the menu when selecting it but that's another story).

              One thing I was unsure of and that is whether it matters where you run the tar file. Where are the OOO and DEB directories supposed to be or does it matter?

              I don't think it matters that OO 2.4 is included and probably better to uninstall so you ensure no conflicts. I was told you don't have to but I found another page that suggests to uninstall OO 2.4.

              Again mixed messages and mostly *Ubuntu/Gnome-centric* install instructions found. :-/
