Ubuntu :: OpenOffice Works Miserably In 10.04
May 26, 2010
I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 and many applications have changed, including the OpenOffice suite. Unfortunately, the new OpenOffice Wordprocessor is almost unusable. ODT files open slowly (DOC files are almost better!), and the laptop (T5470 Core2Duo!) seems overwhelmed by this application. I cannot format the text, I cannot zoom, it is real madness. I dont understand why. The previous version was OK. Is there any advice? Could I uninstall this version of OpenOffice (3.2) and return to the older one I used in Ubuntu 8.04?

the scrip works fine and launches all sorts of files loading them into all sorts of apps with a small command and makes life and work easy very easy but not with OpenOffice applications. Is it the java platform?
Is there a good alternative to using this suite? It seems ok as an alternative to mcirosoft stuff but this is a big problem and makes working with it clunky just like mswindows.
I tested the script i use with all the other apps on my list but am dissapointed with this situation as I need something that can make graphic presentations and spreadsheets etc as well as some word prcessing and would rather be able to launch them quickly without the clunky mouse work.
I tried also to create some key bindings in gconf-editor but the same thing and exceptions coming up no matter what name i tried too bind the key combo to.

I tried to upgrade to v10.04 ("Lucid"). After nearly 15 hours of painfully slow downloading and installing, my computer froze, just as the upgrade was almost complete. Needless to say, my Linux kernel is now wasted. what is the best way to proceed? I would like to get theOS going again, without losing any of my data or files. I also have a Windoze partition on that HD, which needs to be preserved.

I really like qBittorrent.I would really love it if it worked in the unity desktop.There's a few issues with this--
1. No icon in system tray.
2. No access to latest version in software center.
I've looked around in the forums and tried to "whitelist" all apps--I don't know what that means and don't personally understand why ALL apps weren't whitelisted in the first place.That was unsuccessful.

I thought I'd make myself a bash script of sorts to download movie trailers, from a file where I manually dump the URL of each file on a separate line: file 'trailerlist':

it's my first day of trying to figure out Linux, and I now understand why it's been largely used by the geek community.I've tried to install both xcdroast and 7zip using the console and failed miserably both times.7zip doesn't have a ./configure and xcdroast just gives me errors that I don't understandI think I need a package manager?

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.

Processor: amd phenom II 965 BE
Motherboard: M4N78 PRO (Asus) newest bios
Memory: Corsair 2gb DDR2 800mhz X2 (4GB)
Video Card: Radeon 5750 1GB
Power: 620W Corsair.
HD: 320GB
I use the TV + HDMI cable. Versions tested 32BITS/64BITS (stay with x64) has no disk error. already downloaded several times. MD5 is correct well ... I'll start here with my concerns ... version 9.04 onwards does not work gives blackscreen. I think "forgotten" by the generic drivers for ATI or something that influences the video. it does not show. 9.10,10.04,10.10 none of those versions worked ... on other computers functioned normally. I found researching how to dribble and go to live. and thus unable to install. but does not work after the pc restarts. Linux does not. shows nothing ... goes to black screen with the (- FLASHING) but nothing else happens.

I tried to load the Letter from the openoffice "wizard". It said I needed Java Runtime Environment. I installed jre -no problem. Went back to openoffice, opitons, java, tried to add it, must have missed where the executable was. Now I cannot uninstall the damn thing.Why is this such an on-going hassle? Why doesn't someone at Ubuntu write a script or an easy how to?

I'm using a ZaReason Terra HD netbook. I have not changed any of the default hardware, nor messed with any of the X or openoffice settings. For almost as long as I've had the computer, I've been getting random X crashes. The screen goes to black, dumps some text, and I'm given a series of options of what to do (low-graphics mode, diagnostics, exit to terminal). From what I've gathered, this only happens when openoffice is running (it can be in the background, it does not have to be the active application).
I really have no idea what to do or what is causing this. I've attached a log, and I will gladly attach whatever else might be useful. I've looked on the internet for help, and while I do see a lot of X and openoffice issues, they seem to be related to higher end hardware than I have. I'm running Ubuntu 10.4, openoffice.org 3.2, and using an Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller .
Note: the attached log is a text file, but I made it a .doc because it barely exceeded the file size limit for .txt .

I just installed the latest version of OpenOffice (version 3.0.1) from Synaptic on Jaunty. OpenOffice can read MS Office 2007 files but cannot save in their format (docx or xlsx). So if I edit a docx document I cannot save it in the same format.
Why can I not save in the MS Office 2007 format? How can I fix this?

I need a way to count characters without taking into account spaces, on OpenOffice Writer, and a way to do same, plus counting words on OpenOffice Calc. On Calc, it seems impossible to count words, just cels. I need that to help a friend who is a translator and receives per characters like that (without spaces).
She wants to migrate to free software, but she (and I too) couldn't find this tool on OpenOffice. She tells me it's possible to do that on MS Office.

Because my internet doesn't work on my laptop, I installed OpenOffice through the debian package manager. Everything worked to perfection, except that I couldn't find the executable file!
I did a search of the computer for files with "openoffice" in their name, but none would open as an executable. It's not in any menu either.

I have a problem when opening documents in OpenOffice write, it doesn't display the characters for certain menu options - just a series of squares instead. It does this in other OpenOffice applications as well.

I have to send CVs to people as Word docs. I compose them using Linux Libertine font. This means that if I send them as they are, they will almost certainly be viewed in a completely inappropriate font. I have tried creating a copy converted to Times New Roman, but the result is inferior. I am also uncomfortable with this because I tend to end up with the originals the copies out of sync. I would rather have just one doc file for each type of CV.What I would like to know is:
1. Is there a serif font that all MS Office users are certain to have that is a less scrappy looking alternative to Times New Roman? It doesn't have to look identical to Linux Libertine, but none of the other MS core fonts look right.
2. Is there a way of specifying a generic serif font as a substitution in Word docs created in OpenOffice Writer like there is in HTML?
