Red Hat :: Installing LibreOffice On Scientific 6.0?
May 8, 2011
AMD 64-bit quad core
Scientific Linux 6.0
Gnome 2.28
I have been trying to install openoffice, or libreoffice, and it's just an awful chore.
I tried using the gui tool. When I searched for libreoffice, I got nothing. When I searched for openoffice, I got a disorganized mess of separate apps, most of which seemed to have nothing to do with any office.
I got openoffice writer installed, then openoffice calc, but calc does not work.
So I downloaded libreoffice, and I am trying to go though the manual chore of getting it installed. But, the old openoffice is conflicting, and uninstalling open office is no easy task.
I went to the gui tool, and uninstalled the openoffice apps. But I when I try to install the desktop-integration RPMs, I keep getting a long series errors like this:

which repo do I have to enable to get Gnumeric in SL 5.5...?
I am aware that one should be very careful about the configuration files of Yum... in order not to b0rk the system...
And some repos can be conflicting with others...
And building this from source hits with a lot of unmet dependencies..

AMD 64-bit quad core Scientific Linux 6.0 Firefox 3.6 Firefox is complaining that I need a java plugin. Apparently, it has to be installed manually. I managed to download jre-6u25-linux-x64.bin and saved it on my desktop. Then a ran jre-6u25-linux-x64.bin and it created a directory on my desktop called jre-6.0_25. Within the directory there the following subdirectories: bin, javaws, lib, man, and plugin.

Until some time ago I had a dual Windows 7 and Fedora operating system, then I completely moved to Fedora. Recently I have become interested in Scientific Linux and wanted to install it besides my Fedora. I took a back up of all my data and formatted my HDD for a clean install of both of them. This is what I did:
First I installed Scientific Linux with these partitions (contents of /etc/fstab):
[Code]...
Then I went on to install Fedora 15; I kept the same primary and extended partitions but only changed the names of "/FedoraRoot" to "/" and "/" to "/SLRoot" in the above list while installing Fedora. I also chose the boot directory of Fedora to be /dev/sda1/ which I wanted to be the /boot file for both systems while I had chosen the boot file for Scientific Linux to be "/dev/sda".
Everything went well until the final step of copying the files an error came that some of files that Fedora wanted to install in /usr/share, /usr/lib64, /usr/bin, /etc/system..., /etc/issue..., /etc/redhat-release... and /etc/rpm are already present in the Scientific Linux format and so there is a conflict and it has to terminate!!! I must have made some strange mistakes in the definitions

As root, run this (as Rahul showed below, this is shortest command to do it):
Code:
yum install @office
Another way of doing this is:
Code:
yum groupinstall "Office/Productivity"
Another way of doing this is:
Code:
yum install libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc libreoffice-impress libreoffice-draw libreoffice-base

I downloaded and burnt the ISO imagw of Fedora 15 onto a CD. I wanted to try Fedora 15 before installing. So, I booted from the CD. However, in the list of Applications, I do not find Libreoffice Suite. Wil I need to download Libreoffice separately after installing Fedora 15?

I Installed the 2 disks, but I didn't run into a spot where to place a user name, and when it's time to login, I have a password, but no user name, so I can't login, login fails. And I doubt installing the 2 disks again is going to help this problem go away. How does one login to SL after the install?

Install GSL for scientific calculations. When you try to. / Configure appears Permishn denaynd. As I understand it because I have a file system in properties has Read-Only flag. An attempt to change it to read and write an error - saying that this can not be done. All this is done under Root. But nothing came of it, and very much need to put this library.

Fedora 15 uses scidavis (Scientific Data Analysis and Visualization) taken from Fedora 14. If you try to build the native rpm package, an error occurs in building the documentation. A 1-line sed in the spec file solves the problem:
Code:
#fix spurious-executable-perm
find . -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} ;
#fix docbook to adapt different versions of fedora
sed -i "s/VER-REL/`rpm -q docbook-dtds|sed "s/^[^0-9]*//;s/.noarch//;
s/./\./g"`/" manual/docbook-en/index.docbook
#
# ---> sed line to fix Fedora15 building:
sed -i -e 's/xsl-stylesheets-1.75.2/xsl-stylesheets-1.76.1/' manual/scidavis_html.xsl
#
#fix default path for fitPlugins
sed -i "s/usr/lib/%{name}/plugins\%{_libdir}/%{name}/pluginsg"
%{name}/src/ApplicationWindow.cpp
sed -i -e 's/Qt;Science;Physics;Math;Graphics;/Education;Science;DataVisualization;Qt/' %{name}/%{name}.desktop

I am new to RHEL. I am using a Thinkpad W510 and SL 5.5. I am trying to get everything working smoothly on my system.I am having issues with the gpu drivers and the touchpad, both of which seem to be traced back to xorg.conf.I can set the proper resolution using nvidia-settings, but it resets to 800x600 on restart no matter what I do. I have used the gui to save, I have tried nvidia-xconfig, and I have tried to just editing the xorg myself, but it always goes back.I am having even worse problems with the trackpad. I downloaded and installed the synaptics package, but nothing I do changes the trackpad settings. Mouse properties has no trackpad info in it.

I just found out about this distro using search on these forums and it kind of excited me because I am a chemistry student. I was wondering if anyone has used it and if so does it have any Chemsketch equivalent programs included with it ?
If not (or even if it does) do you have any suggestions of programs that are the same as (on a ease of use/quick to pick up scale) or better than for simple/quick organic and inorganic modeling/reaction modeling ?

I have a new installation of Scientific Linux, which is basically RHEL/CentOS 5.4.
Everything works fine with it, its nice to see KDE3.5 again BUT
certain commands in cli (console, konsole, xterm whatever) take an age to run. The worst offender is vim, which takes about 20 seconds to open fstab for example. Even mkdir takes about 10 seconds to run.
I am used to these type of operations being almost instantaneous, so there is obviously something wrong here, but I can't imagine what.

I want to set up a cluster for scientific computing (mainly statistical stuff with R). I have a few conceptual questions. First, is there a difference between a Beowulf cluster and a cluster that has single-system image ("SSI," e.g. using openSSI or LinuxPMI)? If so, what's the difference? Second, if there is a difference between Beowulf and SSI, which one is better for scientific computing? Third, does using Eucalyptus make sense for scientific computing or is this more suitable for IO-oriented operations such as web service or databases

I have come across a problem on my Scientific Linux, I have searched the forum but couldn't find what I am looking for, so I decided to post my question here.well, here what I did: under the Terminal I got Cramfs-1.1.tar.gz installed, and then i used the "make" command to build the cramfsck and mkcramfs and it was all successful.so now I have an image I called it "backup.img", and I tried following command:./cramfsck -x ./output backup.imgbut unfortunetly I got the following message:./cramfsck: superblock magic not foundSo I kept on thinking what is this Superblock magic thingy? I did a google search but I kind of got lost and didn't end up finding anything useful, but I am just thinking it could be some kind of package which I need to install? I tried the following command:apt-get install magicbut it seems there is not such package exists with that name.

(Logger pro is an app to retrieve data from scientific calculators/ instruments) I've always wanted to ask this question so here it goes... Has anyone gotten Logger pro (Linux beta) to work w/ Fedora? I have tried alien the two .deb packages to .rpm's so it becomes installable.. The installation seems fine, But the app doesn't run (I think it was like segmentation fault or something... I don't remember) anyways.. this is not absolutely important. I'm just wondering if this may be a problem w/ my install.

I hope I'm posting in the right forum for this (since Scientific Linux is based on RHEL)...I downloaded the Scientific Linux 5.4 "Boron" Install DVD's, and I can't get the DVD to boot. It gets to the point where it tries to initialize SMP (I have a Core 2 Quad Q8200 processor), and it just crashes and reboots my computer. I've tried disabling ACPI, APIC and APM using the noacpi, no apic, and apm=off options, one at a time, and all 3 at once (since the problem seems to be with APIC, because it fails to initialize on all 4 of the processor cores)...does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here, or how I can fix this? I really want to run Scientific Linux, but I can't since it crashes.

I have two problems. I installed a RHEL variant (scientific linux) on an already dual boot system with ubuntu and vista.
It replaced GRUB with (I think an older) GRUB version and to add to that I cannot see my ubuntu ditro anymore. is there a way of reinstalling the GRUB that came with ubuntu then adding the RHEL distro to it?
my second problem is that I cannot figure out how to enable wake on lan in scientific linux (RHEL). on ubuntu I would just write a small script and update all runlevels to run it at startup. what is the alternative on redhat?
