installed open office from linuxpackages.net, don't know how to open it
i feel dumb and newbish-like.
i run what command??? does anyone know... im not kidding, this is not a joke, i have no idea how to run open office 1.9x :newbie: |
soffice
found in /opt/openoffice.org1.9.73/program/ There's a newer more stable version out btw. EDIT: here's info on the latest version http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...46#post1589546 EDIT 2: Might as well .. Code:
tar xvfz OOo_1.9.93_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz Code:
soffice Code:
cd /usr/bin |
Unfortunately, you don't get nice icons and menu entries unless you work for them, since with the menus packages provided:
1) All the symlinks to the *.desktop files (the menu entries) are wrong 2) The shell script it uses for launching OOo from the menu entries is wrong (/usr/bin/openoffice.org-1.9 points to an obscure location that doesn't exist (/etc/openoffice-1.9? Where did they get that one from)) You can use the build script I've posted here for those (but you need to download OO.org from the OO.org website for this): http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...37#post1604737 It will leave you with nice openofficeorg*.tgz packages in /tmp which you can then just install. |
Very nice script cathectic. Don't forget to mention to change the version in there to
VERSION=1.9.93 ARCH=${ARCH:-i586} INPUT=OOo_1.9.93_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz |
thanx a lot guys
soffice is enough for me! as long as it works, im happy |
cathectic, Can i ask.. I don't use KDE, Gnome, and a few other rpm packages that might be in there.. Is there any way i can exclude them in the script?

Xushi:
I've edited the script with the latest version below. To *not* build the menus, where it says: Code:
# Say "yes" here if you want menus to be built To exclude packages, add them where I've said: Code:
# Add any other packages you don't want here openofficeorg-gnome-integration-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-core01-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-writer-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-calc-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-draw-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-impress-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-math-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-graphicfilter-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-testtool-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-spellcheck-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-xsltfilter-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-javafilter-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-pyuno-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-core02-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-core03-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-core04-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-core05-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-core06-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-core07-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm openofficeorg-core08-1.9.93-1.i586.rpm # All the menu packages are automatically deleted openofficeorg-redhat-menus-1.9.93-1.noarch.rpm openofficeorg-suse-menus-1.9.93-1.noarch.rpm openofficeorg-mandrakelinux-menus-1.9.93-1.noarch.rpm openofficeorg-freedesktop-menus-1.9.93-1.noarch.rpm Edit I'm fairly certain you need all the core packages, plus whichever applications you want on top (these seperate packages do have an advantage after all...) I imagine Gnome integration is unecessary. I don't know about the rest (haven't really experimented). End Edit Latest version of ooo.SlackBuild http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...37#post1604737 |
Again, Excellent script. Thanks alot, i was wondering how i could stick the icons in xfce's menu, and it did the job well.
Thanks. |
