As a canonical employee I can tell you it is a bug, it is either a bug in that Ubuntu doesn't package something that is latter relied on by TB LO or it is a packaging issue with the way LO is integrated. Either way it is a BUG! If it is a software issue and it effects you it is a BUG! Whether it be something that is missed out intentionally or accidentally, whether it is an issue with the code or lack of code etc etc etc it is a bug! Please file a bug then the developers working on OO.o/LO will know about it until then they don't, their only reference on if they do a good job of packaging and integrating LO in to Ubuntu is the increase or lack of bugs. I can't stipulate this enough if it works with the LO download and doesn't in Ubuntu it is a BUG, please please please report it on Launchpad so the developers are aware of it even if it is marked as a duplicate of an older bug, it is important that someone say it effects them in Natty. P.S. When you do the install direct from LO you'll find out that it included a load of stuff that isn't covered in the Ubuntu package in order to maintain the package size, for example OO.o couldn't do a html page layout without installing SUN's (at the time) version of Java there are plenty of other things too but I think you'll get the drift. -- Seek That Thy Might Know http://www.davmor2.co.uk
