openoffice 2.2.0 installation in mandriva 2007
Hai
I am using Mandriva 2007. I downloaded Openofffice 2.2.0. I unpacked the tar and from RPMS directory ran the following command rpm -Uivh *.rpm after this from the desktopintegration i ran the rpm command for mandriva as well the rpm command for free desktop integration. after this i logged out and relogged. even after this the new openoffice is not to be seen in the menu. kindly guide me Thanx in advance |
Take a look at this thread. Where it says *redhat*, change that to *mandriva*.
|
Thanx reddazz for responding to my query. however as you could see from my post I have already ran the rpm command. inspite of that i am not able to access the new openoffice. can u please help me?
|
It seems like you did not install the openoffice Mandriva menu rpm which is in the desktop-integration subdirectory where the openoffice rpms are located.
|
Openoffice
Thanx Reddazz
I have already did that but with no success |
hit alt-F2, then type in oofromtemplate into the little box
|
Thanx ieatsplaydoh, however this option of oofromtemplate is available in openoffice2.1.0. it is not available in openoffice 2.2.0 . I am using KDE desktop and my distro is Mandriva 2007. please guide me
|
If you installed the menus rpm, then try doing "update-menus -v". If that does not work, then hopefully someone else can come along with a solution because I am running out of ideas. You obviously can create the entries manually but that is a bit tedious.

I saw a post in linuxforum which I give hereunder:
I have the same problem with Mandriva 2007/KDE To fix it here, I edited /usr/bin/openoffice.org-2.1 to read: Code: #!/bin/sh exec /opt/openoffice.org2.1/program/soffice "$@" then changed all the KDE menu items to point to /usr/bin/openoffice.org-2.1 You could do a: Code: ln -s /usr/bin/openoffice.org-2.1 /usr/local/bin/soffice My question is will this help me in any manner? where should I create the symbolic link? |
