Hi :) Arrgh. So it's still not working :( Don't worry about bothering us. That is what we are here for.
So, when you installed Fedora did you install on the same machine as your Ubuntu? Did you install over the top of Ubuntu or was it a new partition? Can you still boot into Ubuntu? Is your internet connection able to deal with updates now? If so then in Fedora can you force PackageKit (or whatever you use as a package-manager) to look for all updates for everything? There should (hopefully) be a button somewhere saying "Updates". I think you can install Synaptic Package Manager which might be more familiar and easier for you to use. A couple of years ago they made it able to deal with rpms as well as debs (depending on which distro you install synaptic into, it picks up the right one to use). So, old timers still worry about using synaptic for Rpm distros but it's fine now. I found this link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_Guide_-_Managing_Software There is a drop-down at the top left to change to a better language for you. At the moment it's set on English which seems fine but you can change if you like. Fedora 17 should have LibreOffice 3.5.2 installed by default and that should be a reasonably good version to use. Do you still have the Fedora Cd? Do you have enough space on your hard-drive to do an extra install to experiment? Alternatively you might have more success using the Fedora Cd as a "LiveCd". Live Cd means just boot up straight from the Cd and avoid installing. It should get you to a usable desktop with LO (3.5.2) ready to use. LiveCd is a bit slower than a proper hard-drive install but it's a good way to get a working system up&running quickly. Just avoid configuring it or installing extra programs, just use it as is. Also if you save stuff make sure it's to your network-fileshares or proper hard-drive and NOT "Documents" (or Desktop, or whatever) inside the Live Cd session. The local files vanish when you take the Cd out or reboot. Ones on your hard-drive are still there of course.
