Apparently if OOo is prompting you for and Extension update. But what is causing it is a mystery to me if you have no extensions installed. Perhaps it is the &@^%#$ default dictionaries that OOo 3.0 seem determined to install as root. You can remove those stupid things, but you must run as superuser/root to do it: sudo /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice That will open as superuser/root and then you can click on Tools|Extension Manager and just remove them. Note: I use the English one, but after removing via root, I then reinstall as a user so I don't have to worry about it any further. > >> >> 2.

OOo 3.0 32bit is 3.0.0-9. They probably found it clever to double the 9 for 18 given that 64 is double 32. LinuxX86-64_install_sv_deb.tar.gz is a localized version: http://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Office/OpenOffice.org/localized/sv/3.0.0/ so I guess you'd need to check on the Swedish list to see if others are having problems with that package. I'd recommend putting the original US version back in - it is buildid=300m9(Build:9358) on 32 bit - you can check your version from a terminal by: cat /opt/openoffice.org3/program/versionrc Or, if you get OOo to open, just Help|About OpenOffice.org will show the same. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
