Ubuntu Installation :: Getting The OpenOffice On Natty?
May 6, 2011
I have done a fresh installation of Natty and as expected it installed LibreOffice. What I would like is to install OpenOffice but it doesn't seem to be in the repositories. I know LibreOffice is a complete replacement for OpenOffice. However, the LibreOffice Base component is buggy [URL]. Hence I cannot use it at the moment. I did think about downloading the debs from the OpenOffice website, but the OpenOffice Base component doesn't seem to be included in the packages (?)What I would like is to have OpenOffice and LibreOffice installed side by side.

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
Code:
[root@sarah yum.repos.d]# yum install openoffice.org-langpack-de
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit, remove-with-leaves
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* fedora: ftp.astral.ro
* livna: rpm.livna.org

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 am unable to print on a new installation of Natty.The print configuration utility reports that no printing service is available. I have comfirmed that cups is installed and get a positive response to "whereis cupsd" When I attempt to start cups from the cl (service cups start) I receive the following response: start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.63" (uid=1000 pid=5577 comm="start cups ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init"))
There are no errors produced in the logs - either cups or syslog and if I turn apparmour to complain mode nothing improves: sudo aa-complain cupsd
I am aware of this post: [URL]... but since the workaround has no effect and in the absence of error messages I am not sure that it applies and cannot implement - and note that no print drivers are in play since I can't get cups to start.

installing Open Office 3.2. Once I downloaded it, I extracted it, then went to the desktop integration folder. I clicked that and it took me to "openoffice.org-debian-menus" and I installed that package.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04LTS. I upgraded from 8.04 (which may be relevant to my problems) a while back. OpenOffice was working with no Help visible. When I checked synaptic openoffice appeared as a manual install (probably because I installed version 3.0 manually on 8.04). So I started by uninstalling it using 'remove completely' and re-installing. I also deleted .openoffice.org (which was still left there in spite of the 'complete removal'). I installed openoffice.org-help-en-gb and the common files. Here is the full list:
Code:
~ $ apt-show-versions | grep openoffice
openoffice.org/lucid-security uptodate 1:3.2.0-7ubuntu4.1
openoffice.org-base/lucid-security uptodate 1:3.2.0-7ubuntu4.1
openoffice.org-base-core/lucid-security uptodate 1:3.2.0-7ubuntu4.1
openoffice.org-calc/lucid-security uptodate 1:3.2.0-7ubuntu4.1

You may tell from my question that I haven't got much Linux experience, but I'm currently having a problem where OpenOffice.org won't save anything, and I'm trying to update it. I've downloaded the latest 64 bit debian installer, and when I unpack it, there's a shell script file called "update" which is set to executable. If I click on that file nothing happens (WINE seems to have associated itself with shell scripts, and nothing happens when I try and open them through Dolphin) and if I paste its name into the terminal it says dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege.If I type su and then type my password it says "su: Authentication failure". I only entered one password during the kubuntu installation process and that was the password for my user login, so that is the password I'm trying to use with su.

I installed Libreoffice on my Ubuntu 10.10 (through wubi), and uninstalled Openoffice afterwards. Everything's ok. But then I continue to receive updates for openoffice modules (which are a lot btw). From the Software Center, currently installed are libreoffice modules together with (I think) their openoffice counterparts. Now the question is, is it safe to remove the openoffice modules? Or does Libreoffice need them, too? How do I remove them completely from the updates?

I was preferring Abiword so I uninstalled OpenOffice but have discovered that Abiword can't deal with larger documents so am trying to reinstall OpenOffice and got the error messagePrevious installation hasn't been completed.The installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way. You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software.

I have installed OpenOffice 3.2.0 on Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit) and all seems to be working ok. Currently, I need to click on
Applications -> Office -> ,,,
and select which OpenOffice module I would like to execute. It would be much easier (and preferred) to be able to execute OpenOffice.org (Main window) directly from an icon in a panel. That is, I would like to have an icon in a panel that when clicked on would bring up the Main window for OpenOffice --- this Main window menu is shown in the attached screenshot.How can I get this single icon to give (when clicked on) this Main window for OpenOffice?

Using a 10.04 LTS installation disc, fresh are my install Firefox, multiple software, and the software updater thing did not work. Figured maybe I messed something up. I installed 10.04 LTS about 6 times from scratch, no other OS on the system. They all had issues loading software, I click on whatever it goes to launch and nothing ever comes up. I started doing updates through the command prompt using
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Then multiple packages broke. Tried sudo apt-get -f install but I keep getting an error that openoffice and firefox fail their checksum. Click on upgrade by 10.10 version gives me the screen that says are you sure, with all the information for the distro and then brings up a window that says download 2 out of 2 and it also crashes. So I figured alright, maybe the CD version I have is messed up. I downloaded the 10.10 iso image and burned it three times. Two of my live cds take me boot me to the purple ubuntu starting screen but nothing is displayed except for a little icon with a keyboard and the disabled person at the bottom. Then my computer reboots it does that continuously.

I am a newbie to Ubuntu. I have installed Ubuntu STudio 10.04 Lucid, and to install Open Office, I have chosen the below method:
1. Went to System-->Administration-->Synaptic Package manager.
2. Here, I chose Open Office Package and marked something, which I now dont remember.
3. Download of the associated packages have been completed, but it is not installed. Around 99 mb is downloaded, but I am not sure where it is saved.
The problem is that, it is not yet installed. After the download, it behaved like it was installing, I waited, but of no use. How to install the same and where the downloaded packages sit in the system?

Update Manager tells me it has updates. So I close what I am doing with VirtualBox and a Windows Client and I tell the Update Manager to go ahead. But it stops, says I've got OpenOffice and QuickStarter both running. Not so, at last not to my knowledge. I try again, and it tells me I have a broken package, and to use the 'Broken' filter to find it. Where is the 'Broken' filter? And even if I work that out, what should I do about a "broken" package? So I look online. Only references to "Broken" packages are with respect to Windows. Windows is a shut down client, and VirtualBox has been shut down.
So I try the recovery mode on a reboot. This reports I have 15 broken packages, all to do with OpenOffice. I select Fix Broken Packages, and it keep stopping to tell me that OpenOffice and QuickStarter are both running, and I need to deal with that. How? A restart and effort to fix broken packages did no good. I look online again, and this time I run down where someone writes you can follow a link, and what you get there will do the trick. Only the link goes nowhere, so it has been moved or deleted.

When I try to upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04 I always get this error:
Code: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
If I run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, I get:

Apparently there's nothing wrong in apt.log, but i cannot upgrade and i don't know how to fix it. Any clue?

I recently installed Natty (64 bit version) and I have been enthusing about it on the testimonials page. Everything worked perfectly until tonight! I've been using the Unity interface with the Nouveau/Gallium 3D experimental driver and it has worked perfectly - but tonight the computer informed me that I do not have the required 3D support and defaulted to the Gnome interface with no Compiz available. I don't know what has happened but I can't get anything else to load.
I've tried re-installing the driver but it makes no difference. I don't want to install the "blob" and I don't see why I should have to when it worked before.Iv'e tried installing an openGL game (Chromium BSU) and it runs perfectly so the 3D acceleration is working - unity should run!

Today I've upgraded my Maverick installation to Natty using the "do-release-upgrade" command. The upgrade completed successfully according to the tool, but after I rebooted my system and chose "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-8-generic" in GRUB my screen went black showing an blinking underscore and rebooted after approx. five seconds.
When I entered the Safe Boot environment the last thing my system did before rebooting was attaching the SCSI devices but didn't show any error message.
Same with (successful) clean installation from Desktop-CD and Alternate-CD on a clean HDD.
After I upgraded I still had access to the "Previous Linux Versions" option in Grub, but when I started the Maverick kernel my system displayed a blinking underscore for about 30 minutes - until I shut it off. In the Safe Boot environment of the old kernel the "Failsafe X" option resulted in the blinking underscore again.
This happens with the final version, but also happened with the alpha and beta versions.
Ubuntu is the only OS on my PC.
I only tried this with the GNOME version of Ubuntu, but will try to use Xubuntu now.

The version of PHP installed on my Natty box is as follows :
However I require the use of PHP 5.1.6 for a certain environment scenario, the below link shows how to downgrade to PHP 5.2 from 5.3 by switching the lucid with karmic repos & using apt-get update [url]
A question: go from PHP 5.3 to 5.1, can I apply the same procedure as mentioned in the above link with the Ubuntu repos for PHP 5.1?? & if so which Ubuntu version repos do I need to replace with?

I've installed OpenOffice 3.2.1 on Linux s390x System z server after downloading the OOo_3.2.1_Linux_S390X_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz file from [URL].. I installed it using the following command rpm -ihv *.rpm. Now everything installs successfully with no errors. But when I cd /opt/openoffice.org3/program and type in soffice to start OpenOffice I see the splash screen for a second, the loading bar moving to around 33% before it crashes and shuts down with no errors or exceptions. Have tried uninstalling and installing many times with no sucess whatsoever. Last few lines of strace ./soffice added below,

I have recently done a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04. Since then I have had no end of trouble with Openoffice 3.2.
When I open any office app, the text on the menus is corrupted and has lines going through it. I've included some screenshot to show what I mean.
Also, sometimes when I open an Excel spreadsheet my entire system crawls to a standstill and it can take anything up to 10 minutes for it to respond again. Not even the mouse cursor will move. If I reboot the PC and open the same document it will sometimes be just fine. It is very random.
So far I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling openoffice.org from apt-get, but this hasn't fixed the problem.
My system:
OS: Ubuntu 10.04
CPU: Core 2 Duo
GPU: nForce 610i/nVidia 7050 (onboard VGA)
RAM: 2GB

I have installed Ubuntu 10.4 at my laptop (lenovo G530) which includes OpenOffice 3.2 (Oracle). The problem is that I turned the laptop off without saving a document in Openoffice.Now every time I open OpenOffice it comes the OpenOffice Document Recovery and asks me to Press "Start Recovery". The dialog window is too large and I can't move it beyond the top of the screen to find the "Start Recovery" button. It goes until the top of the screen and that 's it!Also I can't resize it to a small one.I have tried to "move" it but it doesn't work.I have autohidden the upper and down bars but nothing!The window is too big to find the "Press button".
How can i make the window going upper the screen?
