Welcome to my bug: <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/93546> [[upstream] Openoffice.org Address data sources missing] However, you shouldn't have followed the http://www.muktware.com/news/08/2010/164 instructions. Instead you should have left (U)OOo in place an installed Standard (S)OOo in parallel. That way you'll be able to: 1) use the gstreamer plugins & added import filters in (U)OOo, and 2: use (S)OOo for comparison & addressbooks etc. I recommend that you re-install (U)OOo ($ sudo apt-get install openoffice.org) and then install the (S)OOo debs ($ sudo dpkg -i *.deb). Before you run (S)OOo (/opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice -no-remote) modify the bootstraprc file to create a separate profile for (S)OOo: $ gksu gedit /opt/openoffice.org3/program/bootstraprc Change: UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org/3 to: UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/.openoffice.org3/3 save. Start (S)OOo: $ /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice -no-remote Once satisfied, create a menu item for (S)OOo. You can then run _both_ (S)OOo and (U)OOo at the same time. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
