This morning with a clear head I managed to fix the launch items. For some reason the upgrade from Fedora 11 to Fedora 13 killed the path to the executables, which are in /opt/openoffice.org3/program/. Now all I have to do is figure out if I still have the OOo version, or if the upgrade messed me up and installed the Fedora version.

Bear in mind that when I had Fedora 11 x86_64 I uninstalled OOo from the Fedora repos and installed the OOo version. I did this long ago when the latest version was 3.1.1. Before I upgraded from Fedora 11 x86_64 to 13 x86_64 I downloaded 3.2.1 from OOo and used the setup shell script to install 3.2.1. So I had the OOo version before the upgrade to Fedora 13 x86_64. And I remember putting "openoffice" (or similar term) in some file somewhere called "excludes" to some such so that the Fedora updater would not keep telling me there was a new version, i.e., it's version in its repos. I probably still have the OOo version, but it would be nice to be sure. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
