smileychgo Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Has anyone had success installing this package? If so, can you let me know how? I don't understand their instructions. The farthest I've gotten was to extract the file. http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=7131 Thanks, Smiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 You have to make the quickinstall.tcl executable first (a safety feature so that not everything downloaded can act as a program). Rightclick the file, choose properties etcetc.). You can run it with ./quickinstall.tcl (disclaimer: haven't tried it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileychgo Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hi devries, I tried to do what you said but that option is greyed out. Smiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 How are you logged in? Did you download the package as root and are you now running as normal user? Download it again as normal user, unpack and try again. Alternatively, open a console, log in as root and type (in the folder the script is in): chmod 777 quickinstall.tcl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileychgo Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I downloaded it from the site through the link in my inital post. I'll try it again tonight and let you know. I'm sure I was logged in as a normal user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileychgo Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Hi devries, I tried your suggestion above and nothing happened. It just returned back to folder that contained the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileychgo Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I tried a ./quickInstall.tcl and here is the message I got: [root@localhost OOo_toolbar]# ./quickInstall.tcl couldn't open "~/.sversionrc": no such file or directory while executing "open "~/.sversionrc" r" (procedure "guessOOoDir" line 5) invoked from within "guessOOoDir" (file "./quickInstall.tcl" line 82) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Have you ever started Open Office as root? (open a console, log in as root and type oowriter). Look in /root if there is a .sversionrc (that is a hidden file) Alternatively (and better run quickinstall.tcl as a normal user (look in /home/your name for a .sversionrc. It gets create when you first start OpenOfiice. If you have never run Open Office as root it isn't there. PS. you only nee to run quickinstall.tcl as root if you want to do a systemwide install. Better is it to install it as 'normal' user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileychgo Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Ok - the .sversionrc file is there. I opened run command and this is what I typed in: /home/wyman/Desktop/OOo_toolbar/quickInstall.tcl. Was this correct? I then opened up OpenOffice again and the icons were the same.

devries Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Ok I tried it :) [xxx@localhost OOo_toolbar]$ ./quickInstall.tclFound OOo: (/home/xxxxx/.openoffice) found quickInstall auto-config file ThemeDir: MyTheme/22x22/ icon-size = (22,22) num icons: 171 OpenOffice config directory: /home/xxxxx/.openoffice/user/config/soffice.cfg/ config directory not found, creating Backing up config dir (soffice.cfg) to: /home/xxxxx/.openoffice/user/config/soffice.cfg.bak0/ Background Color: (#efefef) ........*..*...*............*................................................... ....................................**.......................................... . .......... done [xxxxx@localhost OOo_toolbar]$ You should see something like this. Then you know it got installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileychgo Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Obviously I'm doing something wrong because I'm not coming up with that. Now I get this. [wyman@localhost OOo_toolbar]$ ./quickInstall.tcl bash: ./quickInstall.tcl: Permission denied [copy of preceding post removed by spinynorman - please use 'add reply' button] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Have you checked if it's executable. I'm using KDE and for me it looks like this screenshot (uitvoerbaar means executable). Some more tips: If you get an error something like: can't find /usr/bin/tclh it means you have to install the tcl package (tcl is a program the scripts needs) so open a console, login as root and type: urpmi tcl The script didn't work with my OOo 1.1.4 so chances are that you will end up with a program with no icons. :). Nothing lost however, as you can see in the output of the script it made a backup of the previous settings. Just rename the xxxx.bak0 folder (remove the bak0 bit) and you should have your icons back. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileychgo Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 The 'executable' box is greyed out. I did a urpmi tcl and it said package was already installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Then do the chmod 777 as explained in my previous post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileychgo Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Ok devries - I started a new session and looks like I was able to get some where. Here's what I got but there's a config error at the bottom: [root@localhost OOo_toolbar]# ./quickInstall.tcl Found OOo: (/root/.openoffice) found quickInstall auto-config file ThemeDir: MyTheme/22x22/ icon-size = (22,22) num icons: 171 OpenOffice config directory: /root/.openoffice/user/config/soffice.cfg/ config directory not found, creating Backing up config dir (soffice.cfg) to: /root/.openoffice/user/config/soffice.cfg.bak0/ Config Error: unable to guess background color set guessBG false (in config.tcl) and set bg <your toolbar color> (in config.tcl) then rerun script How do I now correct that error?
