Re: [libreoffice-users] Quickstarter is missing from LO3.5.5. on Debian
Hi :) You are right. It didn't work when i got back to an Ubuntu machine. I made a right mess of uninstalling and then trying to reinstall to an unsupported (ancient) version of Ubuntu. I should just update Ubuntu on that one or perhaps try something else like Mageia or something. The Windows version is quite different from the GnuLinux/Mac/Bsd one but things do often end-up working the same. Not the repair option tho.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Quickstarter is missing from LO3.5.5. on Debian
The quickstarter option was the source of many issues, and disappeared at some point, since libreoffice now startup is way faster than before... This discussion showed up some times ago.

I know Ubuntu has an LO quickstarter, so it appears that it is not installed by Debian by default. (I assume the quickstarter is part of the LO package and not an Ubuntu extension.) I did not find a quick method to turn on the quickstarter. If Ubuntu has an LO quickstarter, what is the name of it? What version of LO are you talking about? Ubuntu places its installed folder in /opt/. It then creates a link in /etc/ to the /opt/libreofficeX.X folder. When installing LO from the LO website, the LO installed folder is /opt/libreofficeX.X. I have both version of LO on my hard drive. On the command line, I entered locate quickstart one time and locate quick. Neither one gave me a result in the /etc/ nor /opt/ folders. Ubuntu does have several files named quickstart, but none of them apply to LO. These files will open LO in the corresponding component: swriter(Writer), scalc (Calc), sdraw (Draw), smath (Math), sbase (Base), simpress (Impress), soffice (the splash screen), and sadmin (printer administrator). In the shell script below, enter the name of the file you want to use based upon which component you want to start. To create a shell script file to start a specific component of LO you need to create a text file with two lines: #!/bin/sh /opt/libreoffice3.5/program/specific file When writing the shell script, use the associated file name in place of specific file as in the two examples below. Both of these scripts work on Ubuntu: #!/bin/sh /opt/libreoffice3.5/program/sbase #!/bin/sh /opt/libreoffice3.5/program/scalc Save the file to the desktop, and then use the command line to make the file executable. Do this for each component that you use. If you have a toolbar on your desktop where you can put these files, do so. I have Ubuntu, so I don't know about Debian. --Dan -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
