Re: [libreoffice-users] Having trouble installing Libre Office in Ubuntu
Hi Tom, We need more fibers here! I guess the latest release of pardus 2011 is postponed, because it says there are 37 days left on the web page now.

Download it somewhere in your /home directory. Open your filebrowser, likely Nautilus, by default in Ubuntu, I believe, find and right-click on the file. Choose extract from the menu that pops up. You will then have a new directory/folder such as LibO_3.3.0rc2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US (or similar) click into there, and you will find another directory called DEBS Click into there. Now, you're going to have to right click and choose Open in terminal. A command prompt terminal will appear. That is when you enter the command sudo dpkg -i *.deb (you will have to enter your password) Then you'll see a lot of text whiz by, and with any luck in a moment or two you'll have LibreOffice installed. Once all that text is done whizzing by, check for any error messages. If there are any, copy them to an e-mail and send them to the list. Otherwise, no errors, you should find that LibreOffice is installed. You can close the command line terminal and enjoy your shiny new office suite.

You also have to know if you have 32-bit or 64-bit, and be precise in the order of package installation. This is not necessary anymore for Ubuntu users. A third-party repository (Personal Package archive or PPA) has been available for a few weeks now, which should be the recommended way for end-users (as opposed to developpers) to install LibO under Ubuntu (10.04 LTS and 10.10).

All LibreOffice applications will be in the Applications Office directory. From there on you will get notifications as usual when new versions are out.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Having trouble installing Libre Office in Ubuntu
I have used PPA packages but LibreOffice Base has some issue (missing or blank) with toolbars... I don't know if other software works fine. Deb files from documentfoundation.com works correctly...

You also have to know if you have 32-bit or 64-bit, and be precise in the order of package installation. This is not necessary anymore for Ubuntu users. A third-party repository (Personal Package archive or PPA) has been available for a few weeks now, which should be the recommended way for end-users (as opposed to developpers) to install LibO under Ubuntu (10.04 LTS and 10.10). In order to use the PPA: 1) Open a terminal window under Applications Accessories Terminal 2) Type the following command to add the Ubuntu LibreOffice repository (remember to type ENTER at the end): *sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa (you will need to enter your user password) 3) Type the following command to install Libre Office: **sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libreoffice libre-office-gnome * 4) To exit the terminal type use CTRL-D or type exit (without quotes) followed by Enter. All LibreOffice applications will be in the Applications Office directory. From there on you will get notifications as usual when new versions are out. If you wonder what a PPA is and want to know more about that, see: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA Cheers, Fabián -- LibreOffice questions ? Des questions sur LibreOffice ?

The technician who built my computer and introduced me to Linux made sure I knew that. Thank you for your patience, understanding and taking the time to type this out step by step. I will try it and see what happens. I have a 64b system, too. Once LibreOffice is installed, you may have to open up your file browser as sudo/root (press alt-f2, enter sudo nautilus, then your password), and go to /opt/libreoffice/basis3.3 and remove the file libcairo.so.2 If you are running Ubuntu, do NOT do this. It should not be required. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***

I do not understand: Sorry - I did shortcut that a bit. You can take tony's explanation, except you also need to do the last steps here: Let's say you downloaded the installation file to a directory called Downloads. open a terminal window. On that terminal, execute the following lines: cd Downloads tar xzf LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz This will create a directory with the name LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US. cd LibO_3.3.0rc3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS sudo dpkg -i *.deb You'll need to enter your password for this to work, then it will take a while. You can shortcut the tar and cd commands by typing LibOtab instead of the whole filename and it will fill in the right completion. When the dpkg is done do this last step: cd desktop-integration sudo dpkg -i *.deb That should do it. After that you can go back and delete the whole LibO_* directory if you want - it's pretty big and a complete waste of space once LO is installed. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
