Hi

Cheers,

Re: openoffice3 in intrepid

It's here

deb [url]http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu[/url] intrepid main

But remember that it's not officially supported but community-supported.

Re: openoffice3 in intrepid

Thanks a lot, but a lot happened to me since your replies. I added the following to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb [url]http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu[/url] intrepid main
deb-src [url]http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ubuntu[/url] intrepid main

and then I do the well-known

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

In response. first I got the error:

W: GPG error: [url]http://ppa.launchpad.net[/url] intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 60487016493B3065

So I fixed that by doing

delbert@delbert:~$ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 493B3065
gpg: requesting key 493B3065 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com   
gpg: key 493B3065: public key "Launchpad PPA for Kubuntu Most Experimental Packages" imported
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found                            
gpg: Total number processed: 1                                
gpg:        imported: 1 (RSA: 1)                           
delbert@delbert:~$ gpg --export --armor 493b3065 | sudo apt-key add -            
OK

and then I got

W: GPG error: [url]http://ppa.launchpad.net[/url] intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 60D11217247D1CFF

So I did a similar fixed to by doing a

delbert@delbert:~$ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 247D1CFF
gpg: requesting key 247D1CFF from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com   
gpg: key 247D1CFF: public key "Launchpad PPA for OpenOffice.org Scribblers" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1                           
gpg:        imported: 1 (RSA: 1)                      
delbert@delbert:~$ gpg --export --armor 247D1CFF | sudo apt-key add -   
OK

Now I do not get the "key" errors but without any explicit error the packages are withheld:

The following packages have been kept back:
 brasero gwenview kde-guidance-powermanager openoffice.org-base-core openoffice.org-calc openoffice.org-common

Does this mean I must first uninstall openoffice2.4 in order to get openoffice3 --- I thought they would not touch each other?

If you installed OOo3 from the official debs on the OOo website it would install in parallel, so you wouldbn't affect your 2.4 version. The edition of OOo3 in the PPA repository though, is set as an upgrade of OOo 2.4, so the older version will be removed.

I can't guarantee anything for you of course, but I've been using the PPA OOo3 since it came out and I've had no issues whatsoever. I'm liking 3.0.1 ;-)

Here is a link that helped me to get it working:

I have also noticed that sometimes the download do not download KDE support. Sometimes after the install there are no icons. So I usually go to the package manager and download the KDE support, and it works.

I hope this helps.

Re: openoffice3 in intrepid

I tried to download OOo3 from the official website and then install it, but it failed miserably. That's why I recommend you not to expect a clean installation after downloading it, it doesn't work always. And yes, the repo version is supposed to upgrade OOo 2.4, not OOo 3.0.1-rc as I noticed later... It may work if you just have installed OOo 3.0.0, but I can't say for sure.

Re: openoffice3 in intrepid

Thanks marek_online, that is crystal clear --- thru PPA the version 2.4 is upgraded with 3.

I will maybe create a new thread for a related problem --- I succesfully installed OOo3 but the shortcut icons in the toolbars disappears and only individual icons will show up when the mouse hovers over its position.

Cheers,
