I forgot the need command to install the new release of OOo
on Ubuntu/DEB systems.
Could someone let me know, again. . . . .
Thanks
hopefully the update will correct the toolbar viewing problems that I had
with Ubuntu/DEB but not on Windows.
I have created a shell script file so that I will not forget how to do
this. Then I run the script file. Here is the file I used to install the
latest OOo release for DEB:
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/dan/Downloads/OOo/OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_en-US.9502/DEBS
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
cd desktop-integration/
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
This should be a shorter variant for the same thing:
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/dan/Downloads/OOo/OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_en-US.9502/DEBS
sudo dpkg -iR *.deb
or
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/dan/Downloads/OOo/OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_en-US.9502/DEBS
sudo dpkg --install --recursive *.deb
This is so short that i script is really not necessary. Just cd to the
right directory (DEBS) and type:
sudo dpkg -iR *.deb
Or add an alias in your .bashrc file (or to a separate alias file if
you have one, just remember to run it from .bashrc) like this:
alias installooo="sudo dpkg --install --recursive *.deb"
Then you install like this:
cd<the search path to the DEBS directory>
installooo

Notes:
1) First I download the file into /home/dan/Downloads/OOo. Then I extract
it. Then I run the script file.
2) The last two lines of the script file installs the latest OOo into the
Menu.
3) The real answer to your question is:
In a file browser window, locate the OOo downloaded file. Double click this
file to begin the extraction process. (I find this easier than the command
line.
Using the command line, enter the DEBS folder. Then use the following
commands
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
cd desktop-integration/
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
4) By having a shell script file, I find I only have to change some of the
numbers on line 2 to install the latest version.

The big trouble is the menus
With 3.2.0 installed, the above scripts will error with the fact that
they cannot add the
menus of the new version when the menu shows the older version.
The trouble I found in my system was even if I uninstall the old version
of OOo, for some
reason the menus that show OOo do not get the "links" removed in the menus.
I have not found any way to remove the menu links that are installed
when the software
is installed.
Also, for some reason, when I installed 3.2.1 along side of 3.2.0, their
was some major
troubles with performance of the who system. The windows would go
"gray" every minute
or so. I had to uninstall 3.2.1 along with some of the fonts.

In Ubuntu 64-bit 10.04:
Does anyone know where the installed TTF fonts are stored? I am talking
about the
ones you install with programs like Font Viewer. I would view the font
and then use
the install button. Is there a set folder? Or do they "link" the font
to the folder it was viewed
from?
