LibreOffice 3.4 in Ubuntu 11.04
Hi,
I've tried to install the latest version of libreoffice in ubuntu 11.04 by adding the repositories (I followed this guide: http://mygeekopinions.blogspot.com/2...in-ubuntu.html) but upon updating my packages, 3.4 does not show up in it. When I go and download libreoffice from the homepage (a tar.gz file, no .deb is available), It states that it is not a valid tar.gz file when trying to decompress. How can i still install it on Ubuntu please? |
You have 2 choices, either download the tar.gz and compile it yourself, or use version 3.3.3 from the Ubuntu software center.
|
You can download .deb version 3.4.3 from LibreOffice site

the deb should be fine
i just garbed the rpm last night Right now i dl'ed the 32bit deb "LibO_3.4.3_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz " -145 MB and it opens right up in file roller in Gnome .I can not install the deb ( suse 11.3 ) so.... but a warning there is a VERY old python bug it dates back to rh9 so you might need to use the 3.3 version in the repos of libpyuno.so that is for this error "PyUnicodeUCS2_FromUnicode" you might see it or not . |
I would try a fresh download with nothing else using your connection at the time. You may have had a bad file.
You did not say how you were trying to extract the compressed file either. If you were the archive manager try doing it through the terminal or the other way around. |

openoffice 3.0 and oo2 and oo1 also had this issue
it is related to how your distro built python ( and the python installed) you may or may not run into the error Quote:
double click the tar.gz the archive manager will open ( just like on Windows ) extract the deb flies out of it read the README (readmes/README_en-US)file then run Code:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb |
I have 3.4.3 on Debian Sid and it runs just fine.
If you have a .deb you can also install it with gdebi if Ubuntu still installs it. That is just a case of right clicking on the .deb and selecting the gedebi option. gdebi is just gui for the dpkg command all ready given. That works great and even Ubuntu can't leave dpkg out of the install so you know it is there. |

But I downloaded the RPM file just to test, and this file I could open. So I guess the .deb file is corrupted. I cannot see another explanation for it (I downloaded it now three times). |
the 32 bit 145 Meg deb opened just fine here

Hi,
I installed Ark and with this program, I had no problems at all to decompress the installation files. So I guess there something wrong with file-roller or so... Anyway, I have now libreoffice 3.4.3 but I still have one question left. I thought that this version of libreoffice would integrate into the new style of ubuntu in that way that there would be no separate menu panel, but that it would use the panel on the top of the screen such as other programs. Or am I wrong? sincerely, Wouter |
You installed the package from the open documents folks. Seeing how no other distro is silly enough to be screwing with the menus I doubt that they have.
Ubuntu will have to tweak that themselves, probably, to get that non-functionality. |
