I have openoffice installed but when I click on .odt or any other file types associated with it, it opens the archive manager. For now, I have added the application using "soffice" which will open it. But I have to right click every time I open it, which I don't like, and is a little bit embarrassing when I show off my system to those poor prisoners of microsoft.
I had a hayell of a time getting it installed! I used the software manager which finally worked. But it never put any menu shortcuts in the applications menu, so I had to go on an easter egg hunt to actually find this "soffice" thing, which actually only opens up the general Open Office project manager.In short, what I need is for Open Office files to open with Open Office.
I am using fedora 12 genome. I install open office 3.. by these command: 1- tar xvzf OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_xxxxxx.tar.gz 2- su to root 3- cd into the RPMS( where all RPMS package were present) 4- BY RPMS auto installer. I install all package. There are two folder in my "/opt" folder. openoffice.org and openoffice.org3. But office is not shown in application start menu, but when we check it by add/remove software option this is show that it install.
Ive just installed Fed 13 KDE, but my Epson Stylus DX7450, is not recognized and installed. (works fine on Fed 13 Gnome). So i went to Printer Config. in system settings. New printer/ New network printer. where i get an error message "Not authorized - this password may be incorrect". I carry on and input my printer details, but at the end I get another error message, "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-forbidden'."
I'm trying to install a language-pack for my OpenOffice, but there seems to be a dependency-problem. Maybe someone has a suggestion. FC12, x64 OOo.x64 3.1.1
I have OpenSuse 11.3/64 with OpenOffice and want to use some additional (ttf) fonts. They install fine in KDE (configur desktop / fonts ) and are available in progs like Gimp. But Open Office doesn't recognize the new installed fonts. What am I missing here?
Yesterday I disinstalled with yast java-1_6_0-openjdk-1.6.0.0_b20.1.9.2-0.2.1-x86_64 and java-1_6_0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0_b20.1.9.2-0.2.1-x86_64 (which were installed as part of our sitewide suse 11.3 installation) and replaced them with java-1_6_0-sun-1.6.0.u22-1.2.1-x86_64 and java-1_6_0-sun-plugin-1.6.0.u22-1.2.1-x86_64 (et al) to solve my problem about bad graphics quality in firefox applets as described and suggested in this other postl.That successfully solved my applet problem, but I just discovered it triggered a new problem with openoffice . I tried opening an existing sxc document and got this error message:[Java framework]sunjavaplugin.so could not load Java runtime library: file:///usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so.
It looks like that openoffice is still looking into the old openjdk instead of the new sun java. How can I repoint it to use the current java (assuming it really needs it) ? Apparently even entering openoffice on a new document gives error in a popupOpenOffice org requires a JRE to perform this task. The selected JRE is defective. Please select another version or install a new JRE and select it under Tools-Options-OpenOffice org-Java ... but since openoffice does not start I cannot access those options I guess (or is such stuff located elsewhere, and if so where) ?
I am running Suse 11.3 64bit and OpenOffice 3.2.1.4 it installed with the system.OpenOffice's latest is 3.3 something, is there a repository that I can add to continuously update the program? Or do I need to completely remove the present program and install the latest from OpenOffice.org? It would appear that the one that came with the system was pieced together by the Suse team - do they update this at all?
I installed openoffice. installation seemed to go well, but openoffice doesn't show up under main/applications/office. in fact - it doesn't show anywhere.
I did find it using "find files/folders" ...in the folder:
There's a file called soffice of Type: Shell script that runs openoffice. How do I add this to my menu?
so I had to reinstall Ubuntu.But now my Wireless card won't work. It used to work before (plug and play), and I have no problem with it when I boot from the CD.I cannot use my cable connection because as soon as I plug my computer in, the network crashes, the router doesn't respond, gets hot and refuses to work until I unplug it and let it cool off for 2 minutes.I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, Desktop PC.
Code: :~$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0846:4260 Netgear, Inc. WG111v3 54 Mbps Wireless [realtek TRL818B]
I am brand new to Linux and Ubuntu. However it was very easy and smooth to install and get updated using my wired ethernet connection. I am now trying to understand how to have my wireless network adapter recognized or driver installed. I will be searching around the forums but it suggested I make an initial post as a new user. I am using an older Dell Inspiron 2200. I believe the chipset in my wireless adapter is indeed Broadcomm, so hopefully that will help direct any responses.
I'm working with 10.10 (Maverick) on an older Compaq laptop. Wireless card is a Cisco Aironet 350. This card is listed as supported and drivers included in the server distro.
During the Network configuration portion of the install, I selected eth1 (wireless); the card came active and a valid network connection was established.
However, after the full server installation the interface (eth1) is not seen.
What's confusing is that modprobe -l shows the drivers as present:
I have an nfs share that mounts automatically when kde starts.
Code:
wendy@DellNB:~$ cat .kde/Autostart/mountNAS.sh #!/bin/bash mount ~/TestShare #echo "NAS Mounted"
[code]...
Gimp works fine editing and saving photos from/to the nfs share. kWrite can do its thing and read/create files on the NAS. Files I create with vim are visible and editable under windows. OpenOffice however, when I try an open a file I get "file is locked by unknown user." I open as copy and try saving to the share with a different name... No Dice, error saving to share the file is created on the share but it is empty. I did some reading and found a post that said to comment a line from a file called soffice, which I cannot find.
I have a backup HDD with a different distro for my laptop and i can boot into it via external usb or if swapped into the laptop. This HDD/install in question is debian testing and was working fine, the issue arose suddenly. I was first suspecting a failure of hardware somewhere on the motherboard, but the hdd i was using with an external usb adapter also works when installed into the machine. also, the HDD is recognized once i have booted using the external HDD and distro, but it is not recognized by the bios. so i dunno, my first guess is something became corrupt within the testing install, but i guess its also possible that there is some wrong with the HDD but thats not immediately apparent as all the data is still accessible.
Should also note that the HDD with testing on it is also recognized when connected via the external usb adapter, while booted from alternative distro/HDD.
Also. just tried this, but i can get the testing HDD/disto to boot if connected externally. it was going pretty quick, but there i did catch a line about a corrupt filesystem. any commands to run to see what might be going on?? log files to look at?
I just installed Ubuntu 11.04. The drive was formatted when I installed so it's 100% Ubuntu. The only major problem I have encountered is that Ubuntu will not recognize my SD cards. I really need to access these cards, all my film footage is on there. I think the internal SD card reader (If such a thing exists) would have been deleted during the installation process. I am a greenthumb to Ubuntu and have never used it before so I am rather stuck...
I installed openoffice 3.0 from openoffice site (www.openoffice.org) in my Fedora Core 6 OS computer. However, while doing that I might have made some mistakes. I removed openoffice 2.4 and 2.0 by using openoffice uninstall. In fact, couple of occasions, I have uninstalled and again fresh installed openoffice 3.0 when I noticed that moment I pressed any key, the program crashes. I have by mistaken the script ooffice, thinking that it would automatically install a new one. But there is no ooffice. I have to call soffice for that.
What is the best way to install OpenOffice 3.2 in Fedora 12? I currently have 3.1.1 installed, done as part of the install process plus yum updates since then. I've heard that 3.2 gives much better docx support. I just loaded a .docx file into my current version of OpenOffice, and it looked a bit munged.
I've just downloaded openoffice 3.2.1. Then installed it via the script and manually after cd ing to the RPM directory. Thing is, it installs and the menu entries are there. But clicking on it results the splash screen to show up and dis appear.
Not talking about the repo version here, that one runs great. But for various reasons we NEVER use the repo-Version on any Linux distro in our company, mainly because we want all users to always have the exact same tools available no matter what computer they use, and the repo versions differ significantly from the stock openoffice.org version and from each other, not only visually. The stock 3.2.0 runs great on various versions of SuSE, openSUSE and CentOS on various computers, but fails to load on Fedora 13. Here's what happens, with both 3.2.0 and 3.2.1: when I first start it I see the splash screen, then the "Welcome to OpenOffice.org" dailog that appears on first start and asks for my details. I click on next and the application segfaults:
I've downloaded and installed Fedora 13 on my harddrive, it boots and I can log in.
What do I do now?
I've tried to install openoffice, but I can't get it to run. Unlike installing a program in windows, it appears there is a lot more involved in getting a downloaded .tar/.bz2/whatever they are to load and become a program.
I've tried borrowing a book on Linux, but I'm lost with that too as it doesn't tell me how to add/remove programs let alone get them running in the first place.
I did a fresh install of F11 and everything seemed OK until I started OpenOffice, the OpenOffice loading box shows up then Fedora freezes and I am forced to do a hard restart. I repeated this and it seems to be happening at random with the same default settings of a fresh install.
I installed OOo 3.1 on my F11 and it worked fine until I loaded updates. Now I click the short cut but it wont open. I do not get any prompts or error messages. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but it did not fix it
I'm running OpenOffice.Org 3.1.1 out of the Fedora repositories. I'm using the UK locales and settings where possible. I can't seem to get the interface in en-gb, and my dictionary keeps recommending the Americanisation of words to me.
Also finally, is there not a grammar checker in OpenOffice.Org? I'm looking in the Language Settings - > Writing Aids and there isn't anything listed under grammar?
Finally, I might as well ask this in case anyone knows why. In the Writer settings I changed the default fonts to the Liberation font family however OpenOffice keeps attaching the Windows equivalents to the end e.g. 'Liberation Sans; Arial' it's really annoying and I don't know why it's doing this.
I have upgrade my Fedora to 12, i was trying to use the Openoffice database and can not find it loaded under application>office. Does anybody know why it is not loaded? I try to activate it via yumex, after installation, it comes up with bug errror report and Selinux error also comes up when try to use the BASE.
I am newbie to Fedora. I have installed Fedora 13 to my ASUS 1015P EEE PC netbook. I have installed OOo_3.2.1_Linux_x86_install-rpm-wJRE_en-US.tar.gz using the installation manual from OpenOffice.org, however, when I clicked on Applications --> Office --> OpenOffice 3.2 Base/Calc/Impress or anything, nothing happened. The system still runs as normal, but nothing is opened.
I did a fresh installation of fedora 14 last night and today I wanted to install openoffice 3.x and I followed the instructions given on the openoffice page.The installation went of successfully but the openoffice icons don't appear on my menu.if i do
I had been running the official build from the OOo Web site. I've deleted that and now want to install the version from the Fedora repos. yum install openoffice.org* yum's response: No package openoffice.org* available. Error: Nothing to do Then I tried to be more explicit:
