Hi,

Right - if you already had Base installed then an update will include
it.

  LibreOffice 3.5 Impress
  LibreOffice 3.5 Printer Administration

 it could be the Repository version of LO and its desktop-integration

 As I said, I use MATE for Ubuntu 12.04 and I see Base in the menu.
 
 I use MATE so I have the best looking GNOME desktop that looks and 
 acts like the GNOME desktop that I use for my desktop's 10.04/GNOME 
 system.  I use the 10.04 system as my default system and wanted any of 
 my other Ubuntu systems run either 10.04 or 12.04/MATE so it looks/works 
 like I want it to do.

Re: [libreoffice-users] starting Base - works for me

2012-07-27 Thread Don C. Myers

Hi,

As I understand it, Mint uses the Ubuntu software center. The default LO 
install in Ubuntu does not include base. If the user wishes to have base 
installed, you would add that to the Ubuntu installation from the 
software center. If I install from a direct LO download from LO, I have 
all of the programs listed below in webmaster-Kracked_P_P's post. In 
Unity, there is a launcher bar on the left side of the screen. The top 
button on the launcher bar is called dash, which has multiple uses. One 
use is to show the installed applications. When I do an upgrade, I 
completely remove the old install using the terminal, and then do the 
new install in the terminal. I use the following commands (This is for 
the 64 bit 3.5.5.3 from LO):


Download LibO_3.5.5_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz to the desktop.
Right click on it and extract it to the desktop. This will give you the 
folder LibO_3.5.5rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US

Run the following terminal commands to install it:
1. sudo apt-get remove libreoffice*.*
2. sudo dpkg -i 
~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.5rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/*.deb
3. sudo dpkg -i 
~/Desktop/LibO_3.5.5rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS/desktop-integration/libreoffice3.5-debian-menus_3.5.5-3_all.deb


After this install, all of the applications below will show up in Dash. 
To add them to the Launcher bar, simply drag the icons for the ones you 
want to the launcher bar and place them where you wish to have them. 
I've never had any issue with opening any of the applications.


I read several days ago that Unity is now available for Fedora and for 
Mint for those who would like to have it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] starting Base - works for me

2012-07-27 Thread webmaster-Kracked_P_P


Mint is where I originally found MATE.

Then I looked into installing it with Ubuntu 12.04.

If you want your desktop to look and act the most like GNOME in 10.04, 
MATE was what I found to work the best.

An alternative is to install the ppa libreoffice/ppa using:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa: libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice

This ppa is updated within a couple of days of a release of a new 
version of LO. Thus your update manager will keep track of LO for you.

Hi Jay,

Thanks for that information. I was aware of that. I have two concerns with 
using it. First, it may update me when I don't want to be updated, like from 
3.5.x to an early 3.6.x. I generally don't go to a new LibreOffice series until 
the second beta has been finished, so for the 3.6 series, it would be 3.6.2. 
The other concern is in the past I had issues with OpenOffice releases in the 
Ubuntu repositories, and just seemed to have better luck with the ones directly 
from OpenOffice/LibreOffice.

Any thoughts or comments about my thoughts would be appreciated. I'm assuming 
the ppa you are speaking of is in the Ubuntu repositories and it is the Ubuntu 
version.

LibreOffice, or are you using the Ubuntu repository version. In
Ubuntu, the default install from Ubuntu for LibreOffice does not
include Base. It can be added separately through the software
center. Be careful also not to mix the two versions, the one from
the repository and the one from LibreOffice directly.

Hello,
I have just installed libreoffice 3.5.5 on my lately upgraded Mint
system (Maya). When I now start LO the entry for base doesn't appear.
On the other hand, writer, impress, calc, etc. DOES appear. Any idea
what might be the cause?
Thanks
H. Stoellinger

Hi Jay,

Thanks for that information. I was aware of that. I have two concerns 
with using it. First, it may update me when I don't want to be 
updated, like from 3.5.x to an early 3.6.x. I generally don't go to a 
new LibreOffice series until the second beta has been finished, so 
for the 3.6 series, it would be 3.6.2. The other concern is in the 
past I had issues with OpenOffice releases in the Ubuntu 
repositories, and just seemed to have better luck with the ones 
directly from OpenOffice/LibreOffice.
The launchpad page for the ppa indicates that it is an unofficial 
repository.


To turn off automatic updating in Synaptic go to SettingsRepositories 
and select Other Software tab. Then scroll until you find the ppa 
and unselect it. The Update Manager will ignore the ppa until it is 
reactivated.


Any thoughts or comments about my thoughts would be appreciated. I'm 
assuming the ppa you are speaking of is in the Ubuntu repositories 
and it is the Ubuntu version.

An alternative is to install the ppa libreoffice/ppa using:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa: libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice

This ppa is updated within a couple of days of a release of a new 
version of LO. Thus your update manager will keep track of LO for you.
