Kowash Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hi Still feel like a newbie, especially after upgrading some of the old stuff. I downloaded Openoffice 2.0.1 from openoffice.org site, followed the instructions (also installed java jre1.5.0_05 - tested and it is running smooth) The install worked wonderfully, or so i thought. I installed it from my root/tmp folder. It said installed after i completed all the instructions. Now, for some reason I can only see the Openoffice 1.1.4 version on my menu -bar. I restarted the session, but it does not change a thing. What should I do? Kowash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Have you installed the KDE/Gnome menu-integration packages? If not, you need to manually edit the path the Ooo executables, using e.g. Menudrake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Ok, just one question. how do i know where it was installed??? The binaries are located in the /usr/bin folder. There should be at least a symlink for /usr/bin/oowriter1.9 (or oowriter2.0 or how they call the file). You should use that path for Menudrake. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of a kind ! One problem. Your going to fast for me. Still a newbie ok, and not too brite as well. What do you mean in the first line. What is What is SRPMS. The closest relation I have to it is the RPMS in the Open office folder. Open office is installed in the opt folder. I am going to try and create the shortcut with menudrake meanwhile. hope i don´t do more damage than good. Thanx anyway and btw happy new year to you all.

arctic Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 In the Openoffice package you downloaded from their site, there is a subfolder included. This is where the menu-integration for Mandriva is "hidden". Once you unpack the file, the sub-folder should be visible, as well as the rpm for menu-integration.
