Otherwise, I'll wait for the Ubuntu version of 3.2. It is really easy, if you know it ... ;) 1. Just open a terminal (something like GNOME-terminal). 2. If you still have unpacked the OOo package do 2a. Move /path/to/your/unpacked/OOo/DEBS/desktop-integration/* /path/to/your/unpacked/OOo/DEBS (to be on the sure side ... ;) ). 2b. "dpkg -i /path/to/your/upacked/OOo/DEBS/*.deb That should work like a charm. If not, feel free to ask here again :) > Sorry I'm not more knowledgeable.
