hirohitosan Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi there. I just installed Mandriva 2006. I couldnt find Open Office in the distro. They didnt included or it was just me who I couldnt find it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gul Dukat Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 In the Free-edition, they only included OpenOffice 1.1.5. With the PowerPack they included a 2.0pre-version for you on the DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Why not use the stock OOo RPM's (which are inside the big tarball)? There is even an RPM for Mandriva-menus, the most you can miss is some XYZ desktop integration and custom icons... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaschtroumpf Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 OpenOffice 2.0 is now available to club members: If you are a Club member, simply visit the Mirror Finder tool in the Download area of the Club, use the tool to add an urpmi "Club software" media, and use urpmi or rpmdrake to install the updated packages. Note that the updated OpenOffice.org packages are named openoffice.org2, openoffice.org2-gnome, openoffice.org2-kde and so forth. The previous OpenOffice.org 2.0 packages were named openoffice.org-go-ooo, openoffice.org-go-ooo-kde and so forth, so you may end up having both versions installed together. They will both work in this case, but if you want to remove the older version to save disk space, you may safely uninstall the openoffice.org-go-ooo packages. Don't know if the "official" Mandriva 2006 will be available for everyone else at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaschtroumpf Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 sorry I dont understand. What is OOo RPM's? The official download from openoffice.org Basically it's the "generic" version of OpenOffice 2.0 rather than the one packaged for Mandriva by the Mandriva team. Depending on your school of thought, it's a better thing to do or it's heresy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 sorry I dont understand. What is OOo RPM's? http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.0/index.html You can pick from there your OS, preferred language (not all languages supported yet, but you can install the english version and after that install you preferred language UI- more than fifty language UI's are currently available) and have more or less the Club Mandy RPM's.

hirohitosan Posted November 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Ok, thanx :) I dowloaded OOo ... now I understand what it means. I try to install it by the way what is "Mandriva Online" I tried to "Configure the service" it ask me for an e-mail adress and a psw. An window is open but at the Updates is "Service is not activatae, Please clik on OnlineWebsite". What is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 (edited) What is that? It's something you can safely ignore/uninstall, it's of no real use for non-club members. Edited November 19, 2005 by scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Open Office 2.0 is available for ALL Mandriva users, not only club-members. Just download it from the mirrors. It is there since a long time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Yep, OOo2 is currently at the "contrib" repo (just checked). Dunno how good the KDE integration is, but the RPM is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 KDE and Gnome integrations are 100% okay. The only thing that is weird is that I don't have a german spellchecker (in 1.1.5, there is one and in Fedoras OOo 2.0, too). I do however have an austrian spellchecker but that doesn't help me a lot.... :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 You can add spellcheckers/hyphenators/thesauruses by hand in the /share/dict/ooo directory and enable them by editing the dictionary.lst configuration file. No RPM is really needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Hmm... worth to try. I will give it a shot. Thanks for the hint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawsonrc Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I'm a club member and am using the 2006 PowerPack DVD. My DVD came with the 1.1.5 edition of OpenOffice.org. Also, do I need to uninstall OpenOffice.org before installing the Mandriva version of OOo 2.0?? Many thanks to all, Richard L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
