Chris H Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Switched from kde4 to Gnome and now I find that all the openoffice apps have no icons on the toolbar :P Tools-options-openoffice-view-icons in menus is selected. Any ideas? Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 I have them under Applications --> Office in Gnome for me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 No, I mean the toolbars in openoffice itself. There are no icons, just text like save, print, justify etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 I have them as well. Go to View, then Toolbars, and make sure you have Formatting and Standard selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Yes, that's selected. But there are no icons, just the descriptive text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Maybe delete one or all of these directories: drwx------ 3 ian ian 4096 2008-09-26 16:49 .ooo-2.0/ drwx------ 3 ian ian 4096 2008-10-18 00:56 .ooo3/ drwx------ 3 ian ian 4096 2008-10-03 11:08 .openoffice.org3/ and then run OpenOffice again to create new configuration files and see if it's any different. I couldn't replicate your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Have deleted them and restarted and still no icons. Only had first 2 directories btw. Have removed Ooo and deleted the directories and am now reinstalling. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Check that after install, you've got these packages, or equivalents (I have 64 bit): [ian@esprit ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i openoffice openoffice.org64-java-common-3.0-0.rc2.2mdv2009.0 openoffice.org64-core-3.0-0.rc2.2mdv2009.0 openoffice.org64-writer-3.0-0.rc2.2mdv2009.0 openoffice.org64-gnome-3.0-0.rc2.2mdv2009.0 openoffice.org64-common-3.0-0.rc2.2mdv2009.0 openoffice.org64-draw-3.0-0.rc2.2mdv2009.0 openoffice.org64-openclipart-3.0-0.rc2.2mdv2009.0 openoffice.org64-calc-3.0-0.rc2.2mdv2009.0 openoffice.org64-style-tango-3.0-0.rc2.2mdv2009.0 openoffice.org64-l10n-en_GB-3.0-0.rc2.2mdv2009.0 openoffice.org64-base-3.0-0.rc2.2mdv2009.0 openoffice.org64-impress-3.0-0.rc2.2mdv2009.0 openoffice.org64-filter-binfilter-3.0-0.rc2.2mdv2009.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris H Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Just logged into kde4 and the icons are there. Logged back into Gnome and no icons in Ooo. Summat's going wrong somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Batson Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Do you have compiz running, or 3D desktop effects? If so, you might try choosing no 3D desktop effects and see if that makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 My gnome install is a minimal install so will do a task-gnome install with another 430Mb of packages and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 No compiz or desktop effects David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Batson Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I'm just drawing at straws here. Looking through the following ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/...a/main/release/ I see there is an openoffice.org-gnome-3.0-0.rc2.2mdv2009.0.i586.rpm package. I assume that is installed?

Chris H Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Yup, just installed that David. I'll leave this running overnight to install the rest of the gnome stuff as it's getting late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
