Hi all
Just to remid you that, Also all Debian, Ubuntu, Mint and other
deb-based Linux users can use this temporary repository, until
LibreOffice is included in main repos

1. Adding the repository:

sudo echo “deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/gericom/libreoffice /
#geri...@hummer” | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

2. Adding the signing key:


wget deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/gericom/gericom.asc -q -O- | sudo
apt-key add -

And finaly:


sudo apt-get update
Nikola,
Excellent Work!

I found the following useful for Debian Squeeze(testing) XFCE:
1.(altered) add the line to /etc/apt/sources.list (remove quotes)
"deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/gericom/libreoffice  / "
(note: observe spaces around last slash '/')

2. same as above
3. sudo apt-get install libreoffice3
installs libreoffice (meta package?) and picks up dependencies
[ note: listing of what was installed:

However, the libreoffice3 package didn't install the debian-menus deb archive. I must be missing something about apt-get usage as I had to manually downloaded the deb archive and perform a "dpkg -i [file].deb" on it.

And presto - libreoffice is in my menus under "Office" [Yeah!]

The only problem I found was when I started the base program I received an error message about: "...missing vcl resource. This indicates that files vital to localization are missing. You might have a corrupt installation."

Any suggestions as to how I can convince apt to use "en-us" when my computer is using "en-ca"? Or should I just download the available en-us LibO deb files?
