Yes, all files in ~/.openoffice/ and its subdirectories are owned by First, the ~/openpoffice config files are -2 for version 2.0, but for version 3.x they just kept the "2." No, wait ... I think for 3.x they reverted to no number at all. I don't remember for sure. I now have 3.0.1 Ubuntu-Go version (from Synaptic) and I have both a -2 and a -no number config file, but the no-number file is older than the -2 file. I remember that I installed 3.0 from OOo back in the days of Intrepid but kept the 2.4 Intrepid version side by side. The config file numbering was weird and counter-intuitive. Whatever config file you have, you can rename it and OOo will create a new one next time you launch it. You'll just lose all your custom settings (toolbars, window sizes, dictionary and autocorrect entries, extensions, and a few other user things). Whenever something is messed up this is an easy way to figure out if it is a user configuration issue or if the problem lies elsewhere. Second, version 3.x has an automatic check for updates that requires a net connection. I think you can disable it in Tools > Preferences, but IIRC it is on by default. If OOo is trying to phone home, this is probably why. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
