This Wednesday, I want to defeat the Open Office clipart beast that comes with Ubuntu.
Problem: 1)If you use Ubuntu, open a new Open Office Impress document. 2)Create a slide that has a picture in it (Use the "Layouts" tab on the right). 3)You will see a square that is reserved for the picture, which says "Double Click to add Graphics" 4)Then, double click where it says "Double Click to add Graphics". Then, enjoy staring at an empty folder that has no graphics. On Debian, there was openclipart installed, and you could simply go into that directory, and all the pictures were organized by folder. Anyway, I'm going to try to fix this problem, and update the classroom computers. I'll make sure that the fix can easily be administered to outgoing kids' computers. Note: I *have* tried installing the "openclipart" package from the Ubuntu repository, but I haven't found an easy way to make the clipart show up when you perform the steps above. --Nate
