Hi :) LO creates menus itself in Ubuntu, both from the repos and from the ppa but i'm not certain about the download. There was a package to integrate LO better into the Gnome DE called
libreoffice-gnome Presumably there is soemthing similar for other DEs such as KDE but i'm not sure it's this package that sorted the menus for me. Good luck and regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: NoOp <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, 12 May, 2011 1:58:16 Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: 3.4.0 beta 4 installed within Ubuntu 11.04 - issue with "URE" package On 05/11/2011 01:11 AM, Francois M wrote: > Le 10/05/2011 02:50, NoOp a écrit : ... >> The only issue that you are likely to encounter is the >> desktop-integration deb (menus): ...

Thanks again for your help. > Just don't try to install it as it won't install due to the (U)LO menus already in place. Instead, after you've installed LO .deb create your own menu to that version of LO located in /opt. Right-click Applications. Select Edit Menus. Scroll down to Office and click 'New Item'. Give the menu item a name ('LO /opt' or something that will remind you which version you are using. Add a comment for the same. In the 'Command' section click 'Browse' and click on 'File System' and browse to /opt/libreoffice/program and double-click on 'soffice' (not soffice.bin). Now add an icon for the menu; click on the the springboard icon and browse to /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x84/apps and select libreoffice-startcenter.png & off you go. Now: Applications|Office|LO /opt (or whatever you chose to use) and that will open up the /opt version of LO. You can then also open the (U)LO version as well from the Applications|Office| menus as well. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
